The Diced Diet

By Basil Shackleton

An excerpt from his version of the Grape Cure

After I had bought my farm in the Cape and before

discovering the grape treatment, I made a number of

experiments with raw foodstuffs to enable me to survive.

The diced diet, given below, is my most successful

discovery next to the grape diet. It is invaluable as a

whole meal, lunch, or dinner, though preferably the latter, about the fourth day after the grape treatment. It has remarkable healing and cleansing properties, and will, if eaten regularly as a main meal during the day, actually cure rheumatism and skin rashes, and it is a guaranteed cure for constipation.

If the diced diet is eaten at least during five days of the week, it is impossible to be constipated, unless there is a structure in the intestines. The ingredients are well balanced, and the whole can be considered a perfect food.

Ingredients:

Two ounces of well-washed raisins (preferably large with seeds)

One medium sized eating apple (crisp Granny Smith type)

One ripe and well-washed tomato

Two ounces sweet milk cheese (Gouda)

Two ounces dry-roasted peanuts (no oils, fats, or salt)

The juice of half a fresh, ripe lemon

The seventh ingredient is saliva.

Method of Preparation

After washing the raisins several times in hot water, place them in a cup and allow to soak in really hot water for about ten minutes. Then squeeze the juice of the lemon into another cup and add the raisins after they have been drained of water. This may be left for twenty minutes to half an hour. The lemon juice should just cover the raisins.

Wash the tomato, cut into small pieces, and place in a

bowl. Cut the cheese into small pieces and place in the

bowl with tomato. Then throw the peanuts into the bowl,

finally adding the raisins and lemon juice.

Stir thoroughly and the food is ready for consumption. In

fact, it should be eaten within fifteen minutes of

preparation otherwise it begins to lose its own vitality.

Now find yourself a comfortable chair and relax with a

little reading matter and your feet up if necessary,

because it takes at least half an hour to thoroughly

masticate and swallow the food. Remember that saliva is a

very important ingredient.

If possible make the diced diet your evening meal - your dinner, and don't drink any liquids until two hours have elapsed after the meal.

After a week of this food as your main meal of the day, you will feel completely revitalized, especially if you cut down on other foods and leave out meat altogether during that week. The various ingredients can be adjusted to suit individual tastes, but no other may be added or taken away. The sweetness of the diet is controlled by the time allowed for the raisins to soak in the lemon juice. The longer the soak, the sweeter the juice.
