==>It is not necessary to rotate good unadulterated foods; please

read the article in the Allergy Folder. Allergies to " good " foods is

misunderstood because they create the same symptoms as toxins. When

the body gets good foods it goes into action healing, causing healing

and detoxing reactions, which are misunderstood as allergies, when

they are not.

Now I have to take out starch and sugars too. He eats 3 servings of

fruit a day and his favorite veggies are peas, carrots, and

potatoes. I'm in trouble!

==>It IS very difficult for children, but if he gets enough " good "

fats he will not crave sugars and starches as much and he also should

be getting plenty of vitmin C and other supplements listed in my

article.

> My question is this...is candida something that can be " cured " or

will he always have this condition?? I've read that we all have

candida and that it is necessary...but there is trouble if you have

too much of it...which of course is the case for my son.

==>Not everyone has candida, but unfortunately it has become epidemic

in North America and other areas of the world that have processed

foods and modern nutrient deficient diets. Candida is in all of our

bodies, but it only causes problems when it changes (mutates) and

starts overgrowing; otherwise it is a helpful organism. You either

have candida overgrowing or the candida in your body is normal and

not mutated and overgrowing. A strong immune system keeps the

candida in its normal state.

Hi. My name is Lynne and I have a 6 yo diagnosed with ADHD and SPD.

I suspect other underlying issues and have been pointed here from

another board. For one thing, my son has the most foul smelling BMs.

Kind of reminds me off moth balls - very weird. (Can't stand the

smell of moth balls...might not seem foul to someone else. The time

the smell remains in the air after a movement is incredible.) I was

told there was a list over here which tells what type odors might

point to what kind of problem.

Any help is greatly suggested.

Thanks.

Lynne
