electrolyte drink

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee & moderators,

I notice that you allow lemon on the candida diet and include it in the

electrolyte drink. I have had negative reactions to lemons for about a year

anytime I have attempted to put in my diet. I know that people have " detox "

symptoms with them but I experience fatigue, pain in my neck/shoulders and

indigestion, brain fog, etc. I also take betaine HCL and notice that I have to

take more when I experience these symptoms with lemons. Have you ever heard of

this negative reaction to lemons or know what it may be from? I would really

like to incorporate them in my diet and do the electrolyte drink. The ND that I

have worked with has no answer probably because it's such a weird reaction:)

thanks,

For what it's worth, I went through two different periods of time on Bee's diet

where I, too, could not tolerate lemons. They would bother my esophagus, a

symptom that I assume was connected with the fact that I had acid reflux for

over 10 years. During that time I made the electrolyte drink with ginger tea

instead of lemons. It was delicious and the ginger was soothing to my stomach.

As I understand it, the lemons are optional anyway, the point is having a medium

for taking the salt (though some just put it on their tongue, I prefer having it

in a drink.)

I'm back on lemons now as they do not bother my stomach anymore.

Just my two cents!

Blessings to you on your healing journey,

> Well I was thinking about something this morning as I put juice of a lemon

into my big bottle of water that I take to the gym with me. How come you don't

recommend to heat the lemon juice first since that would break down the cell

walls? Am I getting anything (absorbing the vitamin c or the other healing

properties) out of putting this lemon into my water? And if I react to it but

my reactions have decreased then it can't be the fructose. So my healing

reactions have decreased because it has helped my body detox. And its not

because my candida has gotten better because I have gone up and down with my

symptoms from that. But my reactions to lemons keep decreasing. So my body has

to be getting something good out these lemons. What you think Bee?

+++Hi Danny,

Thank you for pointing that out to me about cooking lemons before putting them

in the drink. That's a great idea!

There's much more to this program, so your improvements are because all of the

nutrients work together.
