Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Debbie, thankyou for your support too! I never knew what it was like to have love and support from nonfamily members. I'm rather closeted in the way of friends, and since joining this group I feel better daily. I feel so blessed and lucky to have found you guys and it has made such a difference in my life.

I am uptight about the tests though because my doctor believes I may be a " resistant coeliac " meaning going off the gluten has not been enough toheal my small intestine, the cure being steriods. I am really hoping someone will tell me that this course of action is not needed and that this diet will heal my intestine...the villi more specifically. ==>Yes, this diet will heal your intestines very nicely, particularly because of the nature-made fats, like coconut oil, which heal and strengthen the intestines, including the villi. When you've been eating low fat or man-made fat, which is very toxic, your cells will incorporate those fats into the structure of the cells membranes. This makes the cells weak and flabby so they allow more toxins into them, yet they are less able to get rid of cell waste. Most cells need to be made up of at least 50% saturated fat (lung cells are 80%), which is nature-made fats like coconut oil, butter, lard, etc. ==>Also meats, eggs and nature-made fats are extremely easy for the body to digest compared to any carbs. The intestines get very damaged by fibres contained in carbs, particularly grains, seeds, nuts and legumes. Candida toxins also damage the intestinal lining. But the good news is that the intestinal lining regenerates every 4 days. > I am of the opinion from my reading that this diet will actually fix me...please tell me I am right?! ==>You are so very correct.

In fact any human can be very healthy on only meats, eggs and fats. The trick is to eat enough fat in relation to protein, which should be 25% protein to 75% fat, like the Eskimos.

We do " know " when something is right don't we? You can look forward to a healthy happy life once you get through this. But do remember some of the principles of this diet are important to maintain life-long health. Hugs, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medical science tells us no such thing. There is no dietary need for carbs.. your body can manufacture the small amount it needs from protein and fats. If you want to convince him have him read any good book on low carb out there. I like: Atkins Protein Power Neanderthin He doesn't need to understand about Candida to see the benefit that a low carb diet can have, and not just for weight. I've know people to cure everything from gout to diabetes to rosacea to chronic fatigue syndrome on a standard low carb diet. The candida diet is only a purer form of a low carb diet, and much closer to a paleolithic (based on evolution) diet and much more natural. Our ancestors did not eat any dairy at all, fruit was very low sugar (not modified back then) as well as seasonal and nuts were hard to find and could only be eaten in small amounts anyway. We ate what we could hunter and gather. At one point we ate it raw, then moved on to cooked. We ate a lot of green plant matter. In fact folic acid, which we have a great need for, comes from the word " folliage " . Oh, and if we need carbs, explain how Eskimos go their whole lives with eating almost zero and are healthier than the average American? Luv, Debby San , CA We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thank you guys, I really needed some words of encouragement, I am honestly going out of my mind not knowing what's wrong. I will definately ask for the extra tests and hopefully my doctor is a good one. Are a lot of lyme doctors willing to treat even with negative tests? Also, I live in MN, and have been searching, but most doctors that deal with Lyme aren't taking new patients, if I have trouble or don't like my doctor on thursday, does anyone know of one in MN besides the Mayo clinic? Thanks again Bridget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
