==>Yes it is true! Allergies are great money makers for the medicos,

but they base their assumptions on false premises and tests. Good

unadulterated foods like the above will create healing reactions

because that is exactly what the body requires in order to heal.

After all the body only one immune system. It certainly twist the

picture a lot when you think of all the body's reactions as healing

reactions instead of allergic reactions or symptoms that are labelled

as diseases.

==>I don't know if I can explain why, however I eat about 65% good

fats and mostly meats and eggs, with very little veggies and I do not

have any body odor either. I don't even use deodorants or perfumes

and I shower or bathe only every 3-4 days.

sickness/disease prone? What limit would you put to the amount of

==>The acidity/alkalinity theory is a fad and has no basis in fact.

Read these 2 articles at:

see The Optimal Diet sites too:

After all you did overcome candida, and I've still got it.

==>There is a lot of misinformation and false information about a lot

of things out there my friend. Did you know that beef only turns

acidic in a laboratory, but not in the body? Just think back to what

people ate before the industrialization of our foods, before heart

disease, before cancer, before diabetes, before candida. By the way,

the government lies about life expectantcy rates.

==>Yes, I guess you would if you want to cure your candida. But

humans are intended to eat meats and eggs; we don't have the enzymes

nor the stomachs that herbivores do in order to break down plant

foods. You can search my website for any word you wish:

Thanks for your response Bee.

I read the links you supplied.

I've been a vegan purely based on my body's reactions (not knowing

about these healing reactions you mention).

I'm also diet conscious, because my father died from a heart attack

when he was 47, and so have many of his brothers back in the old

country - Croatia.

I'd like to think I'm open minded. That's why after reading about the

healing reactions in your article 'How to Successfully Overcome

Candida', I'm looking at your method and thinking about eating

meat/eggs again.

Would you know what would explain burning bowel movements, and burning

in the corner of my eyes, and bad moods other than Acidic food (I

would experience these after eating organic eggs and chicken?

Could this have been a healing reaction to eating eggs?

Mucus. After eating meant/eggs, I'd have a lot of mucus build-up. Is

this a healing reaction?

A few months ago, I switched from Calcium Carbonate to Calcium Citrate

whilst on a vegan diet. Once again, I started getting the above 3

symptoms not knowing why. Then after a while I read an article

explaining that Calcium Carbonate had an alkaline effect on the

stomach, and Calcium Citrate had an acidifying effect.

So soon after switching back to Calcium Carbonate, the symptoms

disappeared.

Obviously, not everyone gets these symptoms with Calcium Citrate. So

I'm thinking, one size doesn't fit all.

Bee, what's your thinking here?

And while on the subject of one size fits all, what do you think of Dr

Mercola's Metabolics type diets?

I had a hair analysis done that indicated my mercury level was at a

safe level (I've had my amalgam filings taken out), but I've got a

very high reading for Uranium. I don't live near a nuclear reactor.

Any thoughts?

So what did people eat before the industrialization of our foods. Of

course they ate meat, veges and fruit, but didn't they eat any carbs,

seeds or nuts as well?

When you say that the government lies about life expectancy rates, do

you have link with more info about this subject? Are you getting at

the life expectancy rates between the present and the past?

I'm already taking Liquid Chlorophyll. Great stuff!

What do you think of Barley Grass? I dont get any adverse reactions on

this as I do with Chlorophyll and Spirullina.

What do you think of Flaxseed oil and Udo's oil?

With raw vs cooked veges, isn't raw easier to digest as it has it's

enzymes intact.

Bee, what was your worst symptom from Candida. The one you dreaded the

most, if you can remember?

And, by the way, I'm from Sydney, Australia. Would you know of any

Candida groups or personalities around my way?

Much appreciated

===>> Hi Denis, I had to eliminate a lot of foods due to allergic

reactions I was having. I also went to all orgainc and natural foods.

A couple months after those changes I noticed that my hair was not as

oily and I seemed to smell better. Prior to the change I had to

shower and shampoo every day and I could not wear the same clothes

more than once. Now I only shower twice a week and can wear the same

clothes 3-4 days with no gaminess on my part or on the clothes part.

My assumption is the body odor issues were toxin related as my body

was dumping toxins from my bad diet thru the skin. Maybe also related

to the allergic reactions I was having as I was reacting to 70% of my

diet before the changes.

Could this have been a healing reaction to eating eggs?

==>Burning, heat and inflammation are healing reactions for sure. In

fact fever is one of the best ways to heal the body. Bad moods can

be caused by lack of nutrients like essential fatty acids, vitamins

A, D & E, salt, minerals, etc. and by an overload of toxins.

>

> Mucus. After eating meant/eggs, I'd have a lot of mucus build-up.

Is this a healing reaction?

==>Yes, mucus is also a healing reaction. It is the body's way of

isolating and flushing out toxins, bacteria and other pathogens.

See the article on Mucus on my website.

minerals require acid in order to be absorbed.

Of course they ate meat, veges and fruit, but didn't they eat any

carbs, seeds or nuts as well?

==>They didn't eat processed foods and they ate only natural fats,

not man-made fats. Fats were considered a very important part of

the diet. They also knew how to properly prepare seeds, nuts,

legumes and grains so they were fit to consume.

==>No, I don't have any links at the moment but I just read about it

last weekend. I read so much that I'd have to re-construct where

that information came from. I'm sure there are references on the

net however.

>

==>I'd stick with chlorophyll instead of barley grass.

==>I've written about flaxseed oil in my main candida article and

I've written about polyunsaturates too, which is Udo's oil.

and losing 3 lbs per day, and vomiting for 10 days at a time.

Hi Andy,

Yeah, it makes sense what you said about toxins being involved with smells. It's

great to hear how you overcame it.

I've been eating completely organic for over 3 years thou.

The other thing is swtiching from Calcium Carbonate to Calcium Citrate brought

bad odours on as well.

I didn't understand the last sentence you wrote (shown below). Could you clarify

this for me please?

''Maybe also related

to the allergic reactions I was having as I was reacting to 70% of my

diet before the changes.''
