just brush your teeth after every meal, i carry around a portable brush in my back pocket. and eat papaya one or two times a week and the digestive enzymes wont be a problem
Yes papaya helps with breaking down food, what about the fluoride in to much brushing...i recall that not being as healthy as normal twice a day brushing of teeth..

Headaches and desire for food = you are not eating enough!
I guess that could be a reason, lately I’ve been feeling very differently almost unfocused and really uncomfortably tired...could be all that fructose effective my blood sugar level, before trying out the diet i ideally kept my blood sugar levels as flat as possible with not many sweet things in my diet...only now and then...

3 days is far too short a time to completely adjust to the new situation. There are several issues which might come into play. If you haven't read it, more info is here:

I have read that, but during those 3 days i haven't felt fully satisfied with food.
Eat at least every 2 hours, preferably more frequently. Always combine sugars with fat!
My metabolism is very fast, this diet seems unsuitable for me...my body burns the eggs and fruits to fast and i get tired within an hour after a "big meal" meaning i eat myself full but that food is quickly used within an hour...what should i do?
I understand that, but it's hard to get convinced when the doctor tells you to not eat more then one egg a day...im most likely sure they mean raw as well...
How long does it take to get used to it?
If you don't feel like eating sweet fruits all the time, eat avocado/tomato/cucumber. Do you eat fish?
I eat tuna sometimes, but i take fish oil with the fruits everyday...i haven't tried the raw salmon yet...
Regarding the fruits...and the fructose in them, please read this...
"Fructose is often recommended for, and consumed by, people with diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia, because it has a very low Glycemic Index (GI) relative to cane sugar (sucrose). However, this benefit is tempered by concern that fructose may have an adverse effect on plasma lipid and uric acid levels, and the resulting higher blood levels of fructose can be damaging to proteins (see below) The low GI is due to the unique and lengthy metabolic pathway of fructose, which involves phosphorylation and a multi-step enzymatic process in the liver. See health effects and glycation for further information.
Fructose has been hypothesized to cause insulin resistance, obesity [2], elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, leading to metabolic syndrome. However, unlike animal experiments, some human experiments have failed to show a correlation between fructose consumption and obesity. Short term tests, lack of dietary control, and lack of a non-fructose consuming control group are all confounding factors in human experiments. However, there are now a number of reports showing correlation of fructose consumption to obesity, especially central obesity which is generally regarded as the most dangerous type. (Wylie-Rosett, 2004)(Havel, 2005)(Bray, 2004) (Dennison, 1997) A study in mice suggests that fructose increases obesity.[3]
One study concluded that fructose "produced significantly higher fasting plasma triacylglycerol values than did the glucose diet in men" and "if plasma triacylglycerols are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, then diets high in fructose may be undesirable".[4] Bantle et al. "noted the same effects in a study of 14 healthy volunteers who sequentially ate a high-fructose diet and one almost devoid of the sugar."[5]
Fructose also chelates minerals in the blood. This effect is especially important with micronutrients such as copper, chromium and zinc. Since these solutes are normally present in small quantities, chelation of small numbers of ions may lead to deficiency diseases, immune system impairment and even insulin resistance, a component of type II diabetes (Higdon)."
Unlike glucose, fructose is almost entirely metabolized in the liver. When fructose reaches the liver, says Dr. William J. Whelan, a biochemist at the University of Miami School of Medicine, "the liver goes bananas and stops everything else to metabolize the fructose." Eating fructose results not only in lower insulin levels but also lower leptin levels. Because both hormones are involved in appetite control, eating lots of fructose "could increase the likelihood of weight gain."[citation needed]
So basicly it could be damaging in the long run in the way this diet is expressing it....damiging to insulin the liver and protein production...which not to mention this diet is also a "no-protein diet" which leads me to the conclusion that it could create a condition called hypoproteinemia.
"Lack of protein in fruit can make the lifestyle difficult to sustain, and can lead to the condition of hypoproteinemia."
hypoproteinemi is a condition where there is an abnormally low level of protein in the blood.
One common cause is due to excess protein in the urine (proteinuria), which can be a medical sign of nephrotic syndrome.
A specific form is hypoalbuminemia.
Hypoalbuminemia is a medical condition where levels of albumin in blood serum are abnormally low. It is a specific form of hypoproteinemia.
Albumin is a major protein in the human body, making up about 60% of total human plasma protein by mass. Many hormones, drugs, and other molecules are mostly bound to albumin in the bloodstream and must be released before becoming biologically active.
Albumin is synthesized in the liver, and low serum albumin may be indicative of liver failure or diseases such as cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis. Hypoalbuminemia can also present as part of the nephrotic syndrome, in which protein is lost in the urine due to kidney damage. Low albumin levels can be an indicator of chronic malnutrition.
So how can this diet be healthy regarding the low-protein consumption? if almost no-protein at all? :s
I don't want to bash this diet, but you actually state this about you’re diet
"The human body is one big biochemical system. The biochemical processes that take place are the same for everyone, except in case of specific diseases and disorders. This means that on a basic level we are all the same.
This diet is for everyone"
Well there is a condition called "fructose intolerance" and it's hereditary
Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) or fructose poisoning is a hereditary condition caused by a deficiency of liver enzymes that metabolise fructose. The deficient enzyme is fructose-1-phosphate aldolase-B, this means that the fructose cannot be further metabolised beyond fructose-1-phosphate. This traps phosphates; which are needed to phosphorolyse glycogen phosphorolase to carry on to make glucose. Therefore glucose cannot be made through the breakdown of glycogen nor from gluconeogenesis, resulting in severe hypoglycaemia. If fructose is ingested, other symptoms such as vomiting, jaundice, hemorrhage, hepatomegaly, hyperuricemia and eventually kidney failure will follow.
Hereditary fructose intolerance should not be confused with fructose malabsorption or dietary fructose intolerance (DFI), a deficiency of fructose transporter enzyme in the enterocytes, which leads to abdominal bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation
So to speak this diet is not for "everyone" nor ultimate...i do believe keep blood sugar levels under control and having 30-40% less calories then the average 2500 is the key to prosperity in health, seems as if the fructose in fruits and the high cholesterol consumption isn’t the best way...please prove me wrong i would like to know why you think this diet is good.
Well i eat this during a whole day
3-4 Raw Egg yolks
1-4 Bananas
1-4 apples
Handful of grapes
Cashew + Brazil Nuts (every time with fruits)
Tuna one can
Tomato 1-2
Cucumber half one
That's basicly it for now...i feel it might not be enough...
My mother had high blood pressure, and the diet got it to normal levels. She's 75. So the diet can help, but if there is irrepairable damage, the diet will not fix that...it's not a miracle cure. I'm sure it can help your father though. Of course only when it's is done properly.
Yes well it's new and i don't like the idea that the doctor is putting him on medicine such as trombyl, the doctor even advised him to stop taking omega 3 fish oil which I told him to take probably because it thins out the blood and should not be combined with trombyl, but still it’s as import as whatever thing you have in you’re diet…not to have omega-3?? i mean how messed up is that?? he don't listen to me that much he only believe the doctors words so it's pretty hard to convince him that dietary change is needed, such as removing dairy products and to overcooked food and reducing salt intake...
