The no grain thing is vital if you are suffering from blasto. The parasite purge program in "Healing with Whole Foods" recommends having 1/3 cup of raw short grain brown rice for breakfast. You chew it until it's powder. According to them, it deep cleans your digestive tract. I've been doing this for about two or three months. It takes a bit of getting used to but the taste is actually quite delicious. The same book recommends that you NOT eat any cooked rice during this time but does list other grains, like millet, as being OK. I'm slowly introducing millet into my diet after depriving myself of grains for hte last three months. So far, no problems. Knock on wood.
