toxins, lack of proper nutrition, etc.

Bugs are created similarly everywhere in Nature, so that's why a compost pile of

rotting food stuff, leaves, etc. are broken down by naturally occurring bugs and

changed into wonderful nutrient-rich black soil.

+++So that's why a person cannot get healthy unless they build up their immune

system by:

1) Consuming " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements),

2) Eliminating toxins and foods that feed candida (they also feed bacteria and

cancer),

3) Eliminating damaging foods, and

4) Eliminating toxins in general.

When the immune system is strong enough it will automatically " make " candida (or

any bug, cancer, etc.) change back into the organism it is supposed to be when

the body is healthy.

It's like the manure pile and the flies, with the manure pile representing the

poor condition of the body. You cannot get rid of the manure pile by killing

off the flies. You must clean up the manure pile instead, which means building

up your immune system.

Hi Samia,

Bee said that other members could chime in on handling people and so I would

like to add my 2 cents worth. The word " abuse " is thrown around so loosely

these days that it has almost lost any meaning at all. First, I would advise

you to become educated as to the real meaning of child abuse.

What I am going to list here is unpleasant to read, but important to be clear on

when someone hurls thid kind of accusation at you, because the words " child

abuse " is so readily flung at loving parents by people whose motives are often

power and control. Here is how to properly define " child abuse " :

1. Beating a child until bruising, broken bones, black eyes, bloody noses

occur.

2. Neglecting the basic needs of a child such as safety (car seats),

supervision (leaving small children alone to care for themselves), leaving

children locked in a hot car, starvation (by this I mean not feeding a child AT

ALL until the life and/or long term health of the child is in danger).

3. Disciplining a child in ways that are truly cruel and terrifying such as

locking in dark closets and tieing them up.

4. Demeaning talk that is cruel and destructive. Name calling, belittling,

etc.

Sadly, there are parents who actuall do the above things to their children. But

MOST parents deeply love their children and are the best people to make

decisions about their welfare.

Child abuse is NOT:

1. Making informed and loving decisions about how to care for, feed, dress,

educate and/or medically treat your child.

2. Loving discipline that teaches a child what is and is not acceptable

behaviour.

3. Withdrawing specific foods from a sick child that are universally understood

to be destructive to health. SUCH AS SUGAR!

If you can understand that people use the term " abuse " EXTREMELY

inappropriately, then you will be better able to let such damaging remarks roll

off your back.

This doctor friend of yours needs to be gently but firmly put in her place,

because doing something for your daughter's health that she doesn't agree with

absolutely does NOT even remotely constitute child abuse. She is way out of

line to take that tone with you - it is really none of her business, but if she

continues to make it an issue, then I advise you to gather a number of articles

from different authoritative sources for her to read and realize where you are

coming from. Chances are that she only needs to get some better information

about the defination of " abuse " and also about what you are specificly doing for

your daughter's health. Doctors are not gods, nor do they know everything about

health and diet (actually, most of them know very little). If she has an ounce

of humility in her character, she will see the error of her ways.

If all else fails, they you might need to rethink the definition of friendship

and move on from people who are toxic. People who are ready to accuse you of

child abuse on such flimsy grounds and feeding your child a low carb, sugar free

diet have some serious boundry issues and you might be better off without them

in your life. You can't please everyone, and I have learned the hard way that

it is best not to try.

Don't be apologetic, and don't be defensive. Just be as positive, patient, and

informative as you can be, but in the end you should be strong and confident

that your decisions are what is best for your daughter, no matter what other

people say.

Just my opinion; I hope this helps,

Hi Samia.

Perhaps you could kindly , but firmly, point out to your 'friends' that your

daughter is eating no differently than many indigenous people around the earth -

many of whom are perfectly healthy (much healthier than us!) on a diet that

includes no fruit and often few vegetables, and suggest that they read Weston

Price's book 'Nutrition and Physical Degeneration' (available to read online at

http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library/price/pricetoc.html ).

His book shows clearly the degeneration caused by the Western Diet.

I mentioned the tooth decay caused by this diet today at an appointment with my

Dentist and he conceded that the Western Diet was very much to blame. He said

that he used to treat a group of people in a commune who lived off the land and

only ate the food they grew or raised, and their teeth were extremely healthy

compared to the general population, so he agreed with my comment wholeheartedly.

Your Doctor friend has been brainwashed by the current 'Establishment'

consensus, without really questioning it's truthfulness.

I can appreciate the added pressure this must put on you. It's bad enough

having a poorly child without people telling you what they think you should do.

Every contact I (and mine) have ever had with the Medical Profession has been to

my detriment. I honestly believe that all the years of health issues have

stemmed at least in part from the copious rounds of antibiotics I was given as a

child. Just one course is enough to warrant your reliance on them indefinitely.

As far as I am concerned, being given antibiotics amounted to 'child abuse'!!!

I don't blame my Mum, she was taken in, like most people, by the

'Establishment', and knew no different.

I would say that the only people I know who are healthy these days, are those

who have never had antibiotics....

Sticking to Bee's Diet and getting your little one back into balance is by far

the best thing you can do - regardless of anyone else's opinion.

Many regards,

Ali.

I am wondering if i can get some advice to improve her health-should i put her

totally on the candida program, including all the supplements? Part of my issue

with the diet is the difficulty in keeping her on it and the criticism I receive

from others. Though I give her eggs every morning for breakfast and candida diet

food for dinner, the in between isteh most difficult. Also, I have had many an

Hi Samia,

I also feel like people may think I'm a nutcase for feeding my daughter the

foods she eats and from depriving her of fruit! I have had arguments (heated

discussions) with friends and family who think I am imagining reactions,

overreacting, too extreme and depriving my child of some of the joys of

childhood.

I have a friend who cannot imagine how organ meats can be healthy and that

bone broth has calcium. She is a writer for the medical industry and firmly

sold into the " scientific " medical model.

Anyway, the one thing people cannot argue against are allergies. Gluten,

dairy, nut and soy allergies are so common that you can just mention your

child is allergic and most people won't bat an eye. There is also a

condition called fructose malabsorption (for people who can't eat fruit). I

am considering using that as an excuse. What is really helpful is to find a

wholistic or understanding MD who will back you up and write a dietary

restriction note if possible. Nobody will argue with something a doctor

says. If another MD said your daughter cannot eat fruit, people will more

likely respect what you are saying because it came from a doctor! My own

daughter's pediatrician is conventional but she is very open-minded and

supportive of parent's decisions. I told her about the GAPS diet (that's the

one we tried first) and that I wanted to put my dd on it and she was totally

supportive! Fast forward to a couple of years later and she herself has seen

the amazing progress my daughter has made (my daughter was diagnosed as

failure to thrive at one point) and will write anybody a letter that my

daughter needs to be on a special diet. No one will argue with that! Anyway,

I went through 4 pediatricians on my health plan before I found her so there

are some understanding docs out there. She is also fine that I did not

vaccinate my dd.

I understand what you are going through. It is so hard incorporating this

diet and still participating in the world out there, especially when it

comes to children.

Hi Samia,

I know exactly how you feel because my husband reacts that way. He refuses to

let me cut out fruit and even thinks I'm crazy for taking away other foods like

cereal. It really is not a battle I can win. My plan is to feed her as best I

can now and hope that my improved health with sway him to at least try it. At

this point, the harder I try to get her on the diet, the more junk food he gives

her. I cannot reason with a brainwashed mind. I hope that one day this will all

be easier and that maybe he would at least be willing try.

Do the best you can, who can ask for more?

Right there with you,

Dawn

Dear Samia,

One way I deal with doctors is....I don't go to them! That is a choice you have.

Why would you want to go to someone and pay good money for horrible advice? I

learned after my first daughter's birth (they put me through HELL) that not only

are doctors unnecessary, they are downright dangerous and should be avoided at

all costs UNLESS you have a broken bone or physical accident. They should be

kept from pregnant women at all costs. Child #2 was born at home, no doctor

whatsoever, with a wonderful mid-wife, no drugs, and this after my unnecessary

C-section done by the previous doctor. What a joy the second birth was!

I always say that doctors are nothing but legal drug pushers. I just don't go to

them. Don't need to! The more you learn about how your body works, the more you

will realize that you know MUCH more than they do.

I hope this helps. I'll get off my soapbox now. )

+++Hi Donna,

I totally agree with you and can get on my soapbox about the medical industry

too!

I only go to a doctor because I do not have a thyroid (caused by doctors). Even

then my doctor nagged me to take statin drugs because he says my cholesterol is

too high at 354 mg, however that range was considered normal back in 1985 when I

had my 1st cholesterol test. They just keep lowering the normal range to get

more people on drugs!

Also not having a thyroid means cholesterol will be higher anyway. Duh?

When we hand our health over to someone else we put our life in their hands

instead of ours. We don't get sick from a lack of drugs!

Cheers, Bee
