Re: Re: Fungal Defense & Primal Defense - Kathy?

[Guest guest]

Cherie,

The spit test is not scientific . . . It came from a

company that sells a probiotic forumla that isn't

nearly as effective as Garden of Life's. However, it's

free and it tracks very well with how well you manage

an antifungal program! - especially diet!

The first thing in the morning, before putting

anything in your mouth, spit in a glass of water.

Check it after 15 minutes. If it's clear, or just

slightly cloudy, you pass. If there's a milky blob

with tendrils hanging down, floating chunks, or a

milky blob at the bottom of the glass, it indicates

candida. . . (I had all three!)

Do a websearch on " herx " . . . They can explain it

better than I can. Basically, it's toxics turned

loose, or created by fungal die-off that makes

symptoms increase temporarily. It's important to learn

how your body reacts so you can differentiate a herx

from being sick. . . The idea is to learn how to

control the herx so you won't quit working a program.

Gradually you should be able to increase whatever

you're taking/doing. Each time you finish a herx, you

should feel just a little bit better than you did

before. Keeping a journal of what you do and how you

feel will help in understanding what's going on as

well as help you see that you are making progress.

Kathy has had some horrible herxes - she can tell you

more about that!

Hugs,

Rogene
