Guest guest Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Ed I have Fibromyalgia. I am doing exceptionally well, and every month there is improvement. This diet is the only thing that has ever worked for me. I fould that doing the 80% fat and 20% protein extremely helpful and this helped me understand and get into the diet Like you I struggled to get all the supplements and a few other things at first but over time, as I became well I was able to work more and afford everything I need I have never worried about the meat, sometimes I eat organic and sometimes not. the animals are young when they are slaughtered and young animals have good detox systems The important thing is just enjoy your recovery, it all falls into place in a relatively short time Kind regards Joanne ________________________________ From: Ed <imysterios@...> Sent: Mon, 6 December, 2010 19:26:42 Subject: [ ] Re: Just started!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 If your experiencing too much pain/die offs everday I would limit your anti-fungal foods/Products. I founded out their is a lot of supplements and foods that have some degree of anti-fungal activity. I have to limit coconut oil, olive oil, sulphur(garlic,cabbage,etc...) containing foods, butter,anti-fungal-herbs, even sea salt to some degree because it contains sulfur/chloride. I have to keep a log of what i eat and how my body reacts to it. Thats why this diet takes so long cause our body can only handle so much everyday. > > Ed > > I have Fibromyalgia.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi there, I live in Europe, too (Sweden), and I find that ordering my supplements through the iHerb link on Bee's website the easiest and (believe it or not) most cost effective way to get my supplements. Shipping internationally is only 4 dollars (although you can't track your order) and if you find out how much France allows into the country before charging customs, you don't have to pay duty either. Sometimes, for me, that means that I make two smaller orders in one day, but at least I know I'm getting the right supplements. My fibromyalgia has improved greatly on this program. I encourage you to stick to it! Although it sounds like you might need to go a bit slower with the addition of fats. I can't even buy organic meats where I live, so don't sweat it. Do the best you can with your budget. Take care! Group Moderator > > Hi, I have fibromyalgia and severe disc problems.

Instead it is because such foods/products give the body what it needs so the body itself reacts by creating healing and detoxifying reactions - see this article to understand: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal14.php In fact, candida, bacteria and even cancer cannot be killed off by anything. They are only cured by getting healthy, which is done 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 a person is healthy enough their own body 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. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hi Ed, thanks for your reply to my query. Yes, my name is Nuala. I am reducing the coconut oil and thanks for the advice about organic meat. I more or less thought that if I cut out sugar and other harmful food there was bound to be an improvement. I have cracked a few times, but overall I am sticking to it. I am still incredibly tired and can't wake in the morning and of course am still in pain. I have read most of Bee's website and it makes a lot of sense to me. I have actually lost some weight, although am not too overweight, but at 51 and not physically active (although I have been using a bike to get around, but have had to stop due to muscle pain, that I think has got worse since I changed my eating habits), it is difficult normally for me to lose any weight. I do have another query. I remember reading on the website that where ever my problems were ie, stomach, muscle, head etc, I will experience more problems. When Bee says head, does this mean depression or stress problems as well as physical (I have horizontal vertigo, head spins when lying down). In all of the above I seem to have some sort of reaction, more of the same, but it seems different. Is this normal and how long does it usually last? Also, aside from reducing coconut, am I correct in assuming that just the fact that one suddenly gives up sugar, alcohol and is drinking more of the good stuff, means I should expect a reaction of some kind? The answers may seem obvious to you, but I would like verification anyway. I have been reading the emails on this site and find them very helpful.

And yes, once you are giving your body what it needs, omitting the unhealthy food & whatnot i.e sugar, alcohol ..etc, your body has more energy & nutrients to begin detoxification and healing. Weight gain or loss is difficult for a great many Candida suffers. However, weight will normalize as you progress. How long parts of the body takes in its detox and/or healing reaction varies. In one person it may take hours, days or perhaps 3-4 weeks. It depends how much healing needs to be done in that part of the body pending on the person. Therefore, patience and perseverance is key. Congrats on sticking to it and keep us posted on your progress. Healing takes time. Its like a cut on your finger, it heals at its own natural rate.

When you are on a healthy program like this your body will be reversing the dis-ease processes as it heals itself, so all of your reactions and symptoms are normal and they are necessary in order for your body to heal itself naturally. In fact all of the dis-ease processes are exactly the same as the healing and detoxifying processes created by the body itself in an effort to maintain its health, in spite of poor nutrition, toxins, etc. People on this healthy program are now progressing towards health rather than becoming more and more unhealthy, or dis-eased. The medical field labels each and every " sign " of poor health as separate dis-eases, illnesses, symptoms, etc., however all of them are simply " signs " the body is working hard to maintain its health, so all of those " signs " are actually normal body reactions.
