Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi there, No, sorry...that's not a good one to use. You can usually find ground, green leaf stevia in the bulk bins at most health foods stores. I believe it's also available online through Mountain Rose Herbs or other internet stores.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi , I buy ground up stevia leaf from my health store - they have in their bulk spice jars.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 > > hi bee. could you tell me what you mean when you say that some can not tolerate stevia in the beginning? it's candida safe, no? thanks! +++Hi shannon, Stevia is a carb just like vegetables, spices, herbs, etc. and as I've written many times " all carbs feed candida, " but it is impractical and not necessary to eliminate all carbs in order to cure candida. Stevia is very sweet so of course it feeds candida, but it is only taken in very small amounts, like pinches at a time, so that's the reason it is included. So only very small amounts are safe, yet some people won't tolerate it at all until they have progressed further on this program.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hi , In addition to what Bee wrote, I would also like to point out that some people find that stevia increases their cravings for sugar, so you might want to take that into consideration as well.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hi and , That is the case with me - I am finding that as long as I hold on to the need for a sweet taste, there is some reserve in my determination to go for healing 100 percent. It isn't just that I am keeping my cravings alive, but that there seems to be a little bit of me that holds onto the things that have made me ill in the first place. I find it easier to say " goodbye " to the old and press on to what it new. It is also frustrating to try to make things made with stevia taste like the foods I gave up. It really is not the same, and so for me, it is ultimately better to simply let go of my past, including sweets. > > > > > > hi bee. could you tell me what you mean when you say that some can not tolerate stevia in the beginning? it's candida safe, no? thanks! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I actually grow the plant and harvest the leaves in about 3 cuttings a year. I cut it way back before it flowers. I then let the stalks with leaves dry naturally and then pick them off to store in glass jars. I crumble the leaves into cocoa or throw them in my Vitamix to make and sweeten smoothies. Works good. I had to special order the plant from a local nursery. I ordered two and lost one to the frost before I learned to protect it from frost and snow by covering with a leaf mulch in winter. One plant is enough for our 2 person household. Pretty too and I love to take folks into the garden and have them pick a leaf to eat and watch their face turn from apprehension to delight. It has an earthy flavor but pleasant. I can't tell the difference in cocoa. Happy New Year friends...and hope the new year brings healthful feelings. in Grass Valley, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 > > So whats the deal with stevia? It is ok to use? > >+++Hi , What do you mean, since stevia is okay, but only in small amounts. Of course it is very sweet so only small amounts are necessary. Some people who have a sweet tooth shouldn't have any until their taste buds change. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yes, I did well with Stevia and xylotol. Candida retreated gradually and steadily.
