==>Absolutely Shirley. I also do not think your problem is mainly

thryoid - check out Dr. Rind's list of symptoms comparing adrenal

fatigue to low thyroid at: http://www.drrind.com/scorecardmatrix.asp

However thinking can greatly influence things.

I was just reading last night in Nourishing Traditions how healing

fish stock made with the heads is for thyroid. Anyone (Bee?) know how

this works with candida? Is it an acceptable " food " ?

==>Hi. What is your name? Yes fish stock is very nutritious and an

acceptable food for candida sufferers!

Hi Bee:

Sorry to post nameless before,it's and I'm a serious lurker.

Since I'm shopping for ingredients for stocks this weekend I thought

I'd ask about the fish stock!

Ok I had been on natural hormones from Florida for 3 years and kept gaining so

I asked the Dr. to put me on Synthroid. He did and gave me 0.125 then it just

did the same as the natural. So I was at the endro yesterday and she evaluated

my chart and it kept going up so she said that maybe I didnt need as much as I

was given. Which makes sense to me so now I have 100 mcg which I will take half

of it each day and see what it does to me. If its ok I'll keep doing that but

it I feel nervous or grouchy I'll go to the 100. I'll let you all know what

happens. Sandyinindiana@...

Hi Bee,

Is there a timeline to this or will I be healed when I'm healed? I ask

because my hair is STILL falling out and I put on weight (am I the only one

to do this on your diet?) Some days I shed more than others so I assume this

to be the fluctuations to which you refer. I was 6 months into the plan when

my hair started falling out and it has been coming out for about 4 months, I

did deviate (which probably prolongs my healing) a few times in the last few

months. Also would it be wise to avoid the cruciferous veggies during this

time? I gave them up for about 2 months and that metal collar feeling around

my neck subsided. Now I do eat broccolli, cabbage, mustard, etc and I no

longer get that tight feeling around my neck so I know it is healing but can

you give me a guesstimate on the hair loss? Also I'm still off the lemons

because they made my hair fall out in piles. I just can't tolerate the

fructose, I miss the electrolyte drink too, it was really helping detoxify

me, I can feel the difference. Thanks for your input Bee and Merry

Christmas.

Hi Shirley -

Just want you to know that I also have gained on the program and I

also have thyroid problems. I know it is due to that - I can tell

that my metabolism is sooo slow. Prior to all of this (the last 3

yrs.) I would have become skin and bones on this diet. Now my body

hangs on to everything. I also continue to lose hair - which started

3yrs ago when my thyroid problems started. I just figure all of these

things will resolve when the candida/thyroid problems resolve, but I

really can make no guesses how long it will take. You are not alone!

==>You shouldn't avoid those veggies, but any goitergens in them are

eliminated if they are cooked or lacto-fermented, so do not eat them

raw. I believe I discussed this a few months ago - try a search of

our archives to find them using " goitergens " or some similar word.

be important that you get enough ocean sea salt for the iodine. Also

ensure you are eating plenty of butter too.

==>I'm sorry I cannot give you a guess,guesstimate of when your hair

will stop falling out. Are you using good shampoos, other body care

products, cleaning products, etc.? Are you sure you aren't being

constantly exposed to any toxins at work or at home?

I get enough celtic sea salt on my food (trust me). Why is the butter so

important? I go through phases when I eat more coconut oil than butter.

Butter seems to put the weight on too.

No, there are toxins everywhere in my apartment; new carpeting, musty

basement, etc.

Thanks for the help Bee, maybe I'll ask Santa to intervene here ;+)

Thanks for your support Trish, this is very trying isn't it? Do your nails

all break or chip just by looking at them too? Do you take medication? At

this point I wish I could take Armour but I can not *prove* to my doctor

anything is wrong by my blood work. That has to be the most frustrating

part, he looks at me like I have three heads when I tell him " my cells are

rigid and the hormones are not getting in!!! " kinda funny actually. Even the

holistic practitioner in the area didn't " know " that one. Course he

recommends dairy, fruits, and nuts on his diet.......need I say more.

==>Shirley, I believe pasteurized butter is the problem with putting

on weight. Butter does have unique benefits - see the Butter Info in

our files (I think it is in the Candida Diet Folder; maybe in Fat

Facts).

the carpet, let it sit about 1/2 hour and then vaccum it up.

> I have a low thyroid - cold all the time, dry skin, hair falling

out, low body tempterature, etc. I read on this site that Coconut

Oil can help.

==>Hi Lynn. Yes coconut oil can help, but all of your symptoms

indicate you have candida. Diet and supplements are the most

important aspects of curing candida, please see my article " How to

Successfully Overcome Candida " and the other candida articles at my

new website (see address below).

>

> I used it in my eggs for Breakfast both yesterday & today.

Afterwards, I feel awful - headache, weak, tired, fuzzy, gassy, etc.

==>The reason you feel awful is because coconut oil is antifungal so

it is killing off candida which causes die-off symptoms. To

minimize symptoms cut back, starting with the amount recommended in

my article, and only gradually increase it. But you will need to do

the entire candida program.

==>Low thyroid is very common for candida sufferers because candida

toxins, which are mostly alcohol, make all of the body's cells go

rigid therefore 1) the thyroid is less capable of producing

hormones, 2) hormones that are produced are not getting in the cells

where they are needed to do their job because they are rigid.

==>I do not recommend trying to treat your thyroid directly because

it isn't the problem, candida is. When I cured my candida over 20

years ago my thryoid was tampered with too much, i.e. iodine,

dessicated thyroid pills and I acquire severe Grave's disease and

had to have it zapped with radiation. The thyroid can go into a

tizzy like mine did if overtreated. Also all forms of soy cause

thyroid problems. Once you cure candida the cells will not be rigid

anymore so things will normalize.

It is also important to eat a high ratio of natural saturated fats

like I recommend in my article, including butter, lard, fish fats

and oils, etc. because in order for cell membranes to be healthy

they need to be constructed out of 50% saturated fat (cells in the

lungs require 100% saturated fat).

Treat your whole body Lynn, and your thyroid will normalize.

The best in health, Bee

I don't know what Shirley's situation is but I've been

meaning to share the lab results I got back last

month. Been way too busy lately!

When I started Bee's diet my TSH was at 3.7, and it's

now at 1.8. I don't take any medications at all, just

follow Bee's diet and take the supplements. So for

sure this diet can help your thyroid!

Other than trouble losing weight I did not have any

issues like fatigue or low body temps so I haven't

noticed a difference other than what shows on the

labs. I do have a lot more energy but I wasn't sleepy

before, just had a lot of trouble hulking my

considerable weight around understandably.

Bee I forgot to mention the disappearance of my black circles and

how white the whites of my eyes are now too! As unpleasant as this

is, enemas are the reason. No one likes to do them but they made a

HUGE difference for me in cleaning out my liver, I just wish I

didn't wait so long before I started doing them, oh well.

Yes Bee, I regenerated new enamel where I had scrubbed it away years

ago, and had the worst sensitivity you could imagine. The dentists

NEVER tell you that you can regenerate enamel but I did!!!!! This is

my favorite thing to tell people ;+)

Hi ,

No I did not take any thyroid meds, my blood work never showed an

imbalance (rigid cells) even though I had dry, cracked skin, a

hoarse voice, mega hair loss, coarse dry hair, no sex drive, stopped

period, weight gain, you get the picture. There were times that I

wanted desperately to take anything just to get my hair to stop

falling out but I couldn't get a script because I couldn't *prove*

there was a problem. Bee just kept on telling me that my thyroid

WOULD heal though, so I persevered, and voila, it has! Hang in there

, it will heal.

Hi ,

I was a rather voracious tooth brusher and consequently I scrubbed

alot of the enamel right off my teeth. I had severe sensitivity to

the point that I had two un-necessary root canals done. I started

Bee's diet in Feb of 06 and I was using alot of gelatin over the

summer and by last Sept I noticed that I had re-generated all new

enamel where I had brushed it off. Bee thinks it was the lack of

sugar and good diet but I am convinced it was the gelatin. Either

way I am estatic because I thought that I was going to have to

tolerate this sensitivity for the rest of my life, NOT!!!!
