Interesting; My native American relatives taught me to parch corn before using it, and I know the Tibetans parch their barley. Generally, parching turns some of the starch into sugar. Which would be digested more rapidly, giving Candida, less time to get at it? (That's just a speculation.) There is a European tradition as well of incorporating darkened meal made of already baked bread into new loaves. That is one way to make pumpernickel In Mexico I never saw corn meal as we use it, only limed corn, for tortillas. Maybe there are better, more helpful things to do with grain beside bake it into loaves. I also remember my Granny would not eat fresh bread, only stale. Said the fresh bothered her stomach.

As far as I can tell, we've got basically two approaches to choose from: 1) kill the Candida very, very slowly, over a long period of time, while doing all sorts of detoxing things to help clear out the toxins from the ruptured yeast cells (saunas, hot epsom salts baths, drinking TONS of water with Rescue Remedy in it, taking bicarb, colonics, deep breathing exercises, whatever). 2) hit the Candida hard and fast, and just grit your teeth and bear the sickness until it's over (in short time, hopefully). If you do this, be sure and line up some home health care, whether hired or informally through friends and neighbors. It might help to fill your freezer with Candida-safe meals, go shopping and prepare raw vegies so they're ready to eat, etc. Catch up on laundry, bills, whatever so that you can safely just be sick and not worry about it for a couple of weeks if need be. Do whatever detox you're up to, or just sack out and try to sleep through the battle and detox afterwards :@) BTW, the absolute best Candida-fighter I have found (in my many bouts with the yeastie beasties) is 10-undecenoic acid from castor bean oil, sold by Thorne Products in Formula SF722 and in a new formula of theirs as well (whose name I forget). You can order it and get phone consults from my chiropractor (NAYY...) at www.DrZ.org. Or check with NEEDS. I had the best luck when killing off Candida by avoiding all bread products, and in fact all grains except brown rice which I had pretoasted in a dry skillet before cooking (Dr Z says it changes the carbohydrates in the rice so they aren't as useful to the Candida). Super low carb diet, lots of organic protein foods and lots of fresh vegetables. Even frozen organic vegetables worked fine for me. And nuts, with the exception of peanuts and cashews (raw nuts, if you don't mind the taste, work best - but store in fridge in summertime). HTH! -- el (andrea@...) Nevada City, CA, USA " ...wake now!

You can order it and get phone consults from my chiropractor (NAVY....) at www.DrZ.org. I just finished Dr.Z's Candida Program (www.drz.org) using Thorne Researh's Formula SF722, along with diet, and 3 other supplements that Dr.Z recommends. I must agree with , it is one of the best things I have used for Candida. I have suffered for years with chronic sinus problems and the stuff that came out of my sinues was amazing. I believe it was who psted this information awhile back on this group, and that is what started me researching this supplement and web site. I was very pleased with the results, and am continuing to work with Dr.Z to help me with my digestion. Thanks for posting this information. / Syracuse, NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 Just a note; things that say they are no yeast usually mean no yeast added. Doesn't mean they are yeast free. That is very hard to accomplish, since yeast floats around in the air. Probably real quick things like tortillas would have less.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 Hi All, I have been Ezekiel tortillas. They are made of sprouted grains without yeast. I toast them in the toaster overn or gas oven. They come out great. I also sometimes have wheat tortillas without yeast. I get them in health food stores.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 Thanks, Mike, I don't remember seeing these and don't get to the health food store much, but am going with someone this week and will look for these. Though I now have the added issue of whether to eliminate wheat. I didn't think it fed Candida--just the yeast does or the white flour wheat. I wonder if they sell brown rice flat bread sans yeast. If I find any I'll let you know. Please do same. Judith Wisdom On Sun, 16 Jun 2002 21:59:21 -0400 Mike <mikes@...> writes: Hi All, I have been Ezekiel tortillas.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 Hi, my understanding is that all carbohydrates will " feed " candida, as they are broken down in the digestive system to simpler sugars. So, I don't see that wheat is in any way special except that it, among some other grains have gluten which may be a problem for some people as far as digestion and maybe some type of allergic response.
