Hello ,

The list of supplements can be found here:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp7.php

A niacin flush can feel like a sunburn, a bit hot, tingly and itchy. This is

normal, even if you do not have excema. I imagine having excema, the flush

could be extra itchy :) This doesn't make your excema worse - and the flush is

temporary, as you probably have noticed.

Here is an article with suggestions on how to deal with itching that you might

find helpful:

+++Hi ,

The articles you need are at the beginning of my main candida article so ensure

you print them all off:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php

Important articles and references you'll need in addition to this article:

Curing Candida, How to Get Started

Candida Diet Food List

Candida Supplements - Description & Doses

Candida Supplements Chart

Calculate Protein to Fat to Carb Ratios

Itching is caused by the immune system in order to detoxify, and eczema, like

all abnormal skin problems and issues, are toxins coming out, i.e. acne, moles,

freckles, aging spots, psoriasis, rashes, ringworm, and so on and so on - see

this article on Itching:

Hi Bee;

Wanted to ask your thoughts on something I found on one of your links, " Dr.

Ron's Ultra Pure Additive-free Co. " he said there are " Stearates " in a lot of

supplements and they are made from cottonseed oil. An oil that is the most toxic

of all oils. They are used to make the vitamin machines run at max speed.

Also,metal catalyst may contaminate the stearates. There are stearates in the

vitamin C, I haven't checked the rest. His supplements are very expensive.

Thanks for your time;

Jeanne

+++Hi Jeanne,

Yes, there are substances used on capsules and pills so they won't stick to the

machinery but the amount is very small too. We can't avoid everything in order

to get the good stuff, and this program is excellent at detoxifying such things

anyway.

Some of the supplements I recommend may contain such substances but they have

still helped many people become healthy, in spite of it. I also take

supplements with those substances in them.

Sometimes, we have to " pick our battles. "

Cheers, Bee

> While I have implemented the diet part of your program, I have been lazy and

not yet started with the supplements. I'm in the process of sourcing them now

but am having trouble finding the minerals in the correct form and dosage,

without any other additives. Is it necessary to take the calcium and magnesium

separately? I found this combination powder:

> If I take one and a half teaspoons twice per day, that should give your

recommended dose of 300mg twice a day. Does this sound ok?

+++Hi Bern,

That cal/mag product includes vitamin D so you shouldn't take it since you won't

be as able to regulate the correct levels of vitamin D, and you also won't be

able to take more magnesium if needed.

Here's my iHerb supplements recommendations which has cal/mag separate as

recommended:

> Ok thanks Bee. In which situations may you need to take more magnesium?

+++Hi Bern,

Those situations are explained in my candida article, in the Section on Calcium

& Magnesium Citrate Supplements:

Most people will do very well on 600 mg each of calcium and magnesium per day,

taken in two doses of 300 mg each. If you get muscle cramps you need more

magnesium since it relaxes muscles, and it possibly means you need to take less

calcium. Calcium and magnesium have left-hand and right-hand receptors on the

cells, so they work together. Therefore if you get more cramps and muscle pains

on your left side it indicates your calcium intake is either too high or too

low, and if you get more cramps and muscle pains on your right side it indicates

your magnesium intake is either too high or too low.

If you get muscle cramps, first increase magnesium by 100-150 mg. If that

doesn't help, lower calcium by 100-150 mg. Ensure you are also taking vitamin D

as recommended - listed under " Vitamins A, D & Omega 3 Daily Amounts " below.

Don't expect the cramps to go away in a couple of days, since it can take 5 days

or longer for your body to adjust to changes in the amounts.

However, other things can lower the levels of minerals in the body. They

including comsuming " too much " tea, caffeine, some herbs and green leafy

vegetables, which are diuretic, meaning they cause the body to get rid of water

along with important minerals. So it is best to consume these diuretic foods and

drinks in moderation. Of course caffeine is not included on the program - see

Caffeine in Not Good for Your Health.

Also consuming grains, nuts, and seeds that aren't properly prepared binds up

minerals in the intestines, so they are unavailable to your body. That is

because Nature coats them with a substance called phytates which is necessary to

protect them, which must be removed by proper soaking and/or leavening (like

sourdough) before they are fit for human consumption. They also are coated with

an enzyme that interferes with protein digestion - see Grains, Nuts, Seeds &

Legumes Must Be Properly Prepared. No grains are consumed on the Candida Diet.

It can be difficult to balance calcium and magnesium, but it is important for

each person to find their own optimal levels by trial and error. As your

digestion improves and your immune system gets stronger doses may need to be

decreased. Since the body can only handle a maximum of 500 mg of calcium at a

time, individual doses must be 500 mg or lower.

Hi Lois,

The gag response to first taking cod liver oil is, I believe, a quite common

one. I had a bit of it, and so has every member of my family (I've gotten them

all, hehe)! It can be an association with a bad childhood memory, but not

necessarily.

Some people prefer the CLO with flavor as they find it helps them get it down.

I really dislike flavored CLO, but I found that at the beginning, I had a real

problem with the texture, or the idea of it. If it helps, this should lessen

with time, as it did for me.

CLO contains important nutrients our bodies need to heal themselves, such as

vitamins A & D, and omega-3s. Delivering these to our bodies after we've

becoming deficient might mean some healing symptoms begin to occur - and nausea

is a healing symptom. In fact, this could be a factor in your reaction to other

supplements as well - as long as you are taking only recommended supplements,

without any unwanted ingredients or additives.

I would encourage you to try to take your CLO because it is so important. If

you really have a hard time swallowing it, you may rub it on your abdomen and

absorb it through your skin that way.

Hope that helps,

andra

+++Hi Lois,

andra helped you with this, but I wonder if you are taking the correct

amount of Omega 3 since Salmon Oil products may state they contain 1,000 mg, yet

the amounts of EPA & DHA are low in each capsule. Omega 3 must be taken with

vitamin A & D too as follows:

Vitamin A: 20,000 IU - 30,000 IU

Vitamin D: 800 IU - 1,200 IU

Omega-3: 2,000 mg - 3,000 mg (EPA plus DHA)

Also ensure you have eaten enough food before taking your supplements.

All the best, Bee

+++If the mag is in a capsule you can dump it out so you get closer to 300 mg

per dose, or cut it if it is a tablet.

+++Hi Lynn,

People in Europe are buying from iHerb, but they make it worth their while by

ordering large shipments.

Here's a UK source to try, but I don't know if they carry supplements I

recommend:

http://www.red23.co.uk/index.php

Also please write another message, with UK/Europe in the Subject line so other

members can help you.

It is almost impossible to recommend supplement suppliers in other countries,

since that task would be insurmountable by one person.

Also try searching past messages.

Hi Lynn,

I live in Europe as well and I know it seems ridiculous to buy supplements all

the way from the US when technically we *should* be able to buy them locally.

But I have found that they are actually cheaper than the ones sold at my local

health food store/pharmacy. And that's even with the 4 dollar delivery charge

on international post from iHerb.

I also found that the vitamins sold locally contain sugar (sometimes as the

first ingredient!) and other fillers and I was never able to get them

individually or at the correct dosages.

You should check how much you can import to the UK before you have to pay import

duty. Through trial and error, I have found that if I keep the order at under

40 dollars, then I don't pay import duty. This sometimes mean that I have to

make two orders of less than 40 dollars on the same day.

This website has a few items Bee recommends, like cod liver oil:

http://www.red23.co.uk/

Hope that helps!

Hi Lynn - I live in the UK too and recently bought huge pots each of magnesium

and calcium citrate from iHerb. If your order is under the required weight (it

tells you in the shipping details what the weight limit is, and each item

details gives you the weight of that item so you can work it out easily) the

postage is less than £3 (4$) and it only takes about a week to arrive.

I was very impressed - with the price, and with the products. If you order on

iHerb through Bee's website, she will get a percentage of the order which will

help to support her work.

Oh, and by the way, you get 5% of your first order too!

Hi Ali,

A person gets $5.00 off their " first order at iHerb (if they haven't ordered

from them before), " when they provide my iHerb Rewards number. If they give my

Rewards Number the first time I get credit for all of their purchases from there

on.

I didn't know first time buyers get 5% off.

+++Hi Cassandra,

Calcium citrate malate is a water-soluble calcium supplement. It is the calcium

salt of citric acid and malic acid with variable composition. It is purported to

be highly bioavailable.

Calcium citrate malate's bioavailability stems from its water-solubility and its

method of dissolution. When dissolved, it releases calcium ions and a

calcium-citrate complex.

+++Hi Carol. The links to my supplements lists are at the beginning of my

candida article How to Successfully Overcome Candida

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php

And both of the supplements links give you the link to iHerb. It you have not

ordered from iHerb before you can get $5.00 off IF you give them my Rewards

Hopefully you are also reading Curing Candida, How to Get Started:

Dear Fellow Travelers,

In accordance with all I have read since my MS DX in 5/09, EFAs have also been an essential part of any supplemental plan. Along with D-3, Ester C, and an iron free multi, and with an occasional Evening Primrose Oil at night, that is all I do, along with a dairy, gluten and especially for me, soy free diet.

I was just told Thursday that water is essential too, as it helps flush excess calcium, which comes with the D-3, and contributes to kidney stones. Also water helps a variety of things, and along with Psyllium Husk as a natural laxative, which can help keep you somewhat regular.

But, the news that really surprised me from my 30 something neuro, who stays on the cutting edge of at least contemporary research, was that cutting calories of every kind is a plus. He said this when I revealed that I now only eat one major meal a day. I snack on nuts, rice and corn chips, and gluten free breakfast bars, but I tell you I am the same weight as high school, not wasting away, and maintain a sense of wellness even in the face of my MS. I must walk with a cane, but I get the ob done every day so far. No CRAB drugs for me ever.That is my story and I'm stickin' to it....

In love, peace, and serenity,

Dave in Pa.

Happiness is not getting what you want, but wanting what you get.

+++Hi Caine,

It is better to not take any supplements one day a month so your body can adjust

itself, i.e. balance out nutrients, as it sees fit.

Maybe you should mark it on a calendar.

Thanks also for the EVCO information, and omega three to omega 6 ratio.
