(it being called a mushroom). I really hope you consider checking the book out, it's been incredibly helpful to me. :-) Amazon.com had it at a better price than my local health food store, by the way. The best of luck to you both. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I too have heard that at first it's best to stay off it altogether, " just in case " , with candida. After that, drink up if it works for you. :-) a Albanese School Of RAWk Certified Raw Chef, Raw Nutritionist and Health Coach Advanced Practitioner of The Living Foods Lifestyle www.SchoolOfRAWk.com Coming Soon!
