Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hi ! I didnt know your surgery was just 5 months ago! I am so happy for you that you are seeing changes. After just 3 weeks my finger nails are growing in nicely and my toes have been doing the same (I had very bad lifting and discoloration). Very strange that I would all ready see a diff. this soon! my hair has also been doing much better as well! Anyhow, i just want to tell you if you ever do have a craving for Mcs...go rent Super Size Me, that documentary about fast food. It will make you not want to eat fast food ever again! sooooo gross! Anyhow, so very happy for you!!!! > > I have been feeling very frustrated about still testing positive > with the candida, and I was begining to think that my efforts were > not producing any results... until last night.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 That's awesome news on your progress, ! That's just the way it works...slow but sure. Our group is so needed for those days of frustration when it doesn't seem like anything is happening. I cried many times over the slowness of my healing, but I finally made it, and you will too! We all just need those words of encouragement from time to time. Thanks for being here and sharing the good news of your healing!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 - I am so surprised to hear your surgery was only five months ago. You have been so helpful to me, and I thought you were speaking from years of experience. I know what you mean about feeling frustrated. My surgery was only three weeks ago, and on most days I am aware of a big improvement in my health, but on the bad days I get very discouraged, thinking that I am eating so healthy and taking supplements, drinking water and juicing, etc. I had those things in for almost nine years, and I guess it will take some time. But I NEVER have any regrets about getting those bombs out. I actually like being small now, and will like it a lot better when the bloating in my stomach subsides. So glad about your nails!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thank you Cherie. I guess maybe I sound like an old veteran because since I found this group I literally spent 6-10 hours a day researching everything I could get my hands on until I was explanted. This is such a fabu7lous resource for us all. --- In , " Cherie " <cheriesut@y...> wrote: > > - I am so surprised to hear your surgery was only five > months ago.
