Chart I - Eat freely 
The sicker you are, the less variety of foods you can tolerate.
Start with eating only foods on chart I, avoiding any that you know you do not tolerate. Eat the highest quality food you can afford. Plant your own garden if you can. Lightly cooking most vegetables makes them more digestible or even better, put the greens raw in the blender!!! See Green for Life!
Eat 25% green leafy vegetables, 25% fruit, 25% other vegetables, and the last 25% is for all the rest.

* "Unless it is fermented or sprouted, soy is not a health food. Despite its beneficial properties, it contains digestive enzyme inhibitors that impair your ability to break down protein, as well as phytic acid, which binds minerals and prevents their absorption. Sprouting and fermentation eliminate these harmful factors, and these are excellent protein sources. I do not recommend tofu, soy protein products, or soymilk." - Mercola

** "Most people benefit from stopping dairy, so avoid dairy for a few weeks to see if your health symptoms improve. If you can tolerate dairy, restrict yourself to goat, sheep, and or raw cow's milk cheese. Raw (unpasteurized) milk is good if you can obtain it from healthy sources. Stop all commercial milk products i.e. processed cheeses, skim milk and ice cream as well as rice milk, soymilk, Lactaid, and acidophilus milk. Avoid lowfat dairy products." - Mercola

*** Some people tolerate some grains. If you are feeling well and free of body aches, arthritis, pain, etc., you may be able to tolerate some grains in your diet, especially if you are a carbo-type. Sprouted grains may be a better choice. 

+especially good sources of omega-3 fatty acids

You can test your urine with pH paper first thing in the morning. Urine should not be either highly acidic or highly alkaline. If it stays one or the other over several days, you need to change your diet accordingly. Do not assume a food to be either alkaline or acidic. See how the food reacts in your body by testing it.
