Words of Advice.......

[Guest guest]

Well, since I opted to receive a daily digest of messages, I'm responding to

several of them at the same time.

Claudio: I think the reason why you're getting the reaction to that aspirin

you're taking is because of the caffeine--it is very bad to take when you

have candida. One fo the reasons why is because of the fluctuations in blood

sugar that it causes. The reason why coffee gives people a lift in the

morning is because it prompts your cells to release sugar into the

bloodstream and SUGAR FEEDS CANDIDA. When I was in the midst of my worse,

the slightest bit of coffee or tea gave me migraines within 15 minutes, as

well as a lift followed by drowsiness.

Why exactly are you taking this product? Perhaps there is an alternative.

Ann: You mentioned that you're always hungry on this diet--this should not

be. The problem is, I think, that you are not eating enough fat which would

satiate you and give you more energy. Coconut oil or milk is an excellent

fat to use, especially since it contains both caprylic and lauric acids

which are lethal to candida. I put all of my CFIDS and candida patients on a

coconut milk smoothie in the morning--you may want to try it:

1/2 can unsweetened coconut milk (full fat)

3-4 oz of water to dilute

1-2 drops of stevia (optional)

1 scoop unsweetened whey protein powder (NO SOY--too hard to digest)

1 raw egg

1 frozen strawberry (optional)

Mix in blender and enjoy. I know the strawberry is a fruit, but berries are

the lowest in sugar of all fruits.

Also, you need more than veggies to thrive, with or without candida. Meat,

eggs, and nuts can round out your diet as long as no allergies are present.

Be careful to prepare nuts in a way that eases their digestion--see my nuts

article on my website to learn more.

You'll find that if you increase your fat intake, your blood sugar will

stabilize. Be sure, though, that you only eat good fats and avoid the bad

ones (margarine, all vegetable oils, all vegetable shortenings, hemp oil,

canola oil, soy oil).

Something I also noticed is that it appears that several of you are using

single antifungal remedies, in rotation. The ONLY way that I finally

overcame candida was to hit it hard with everything at the same time: diet,

herbs, oregano oil, peppermint oil, stabilized oxygen, probiotics (LOTS),

colloidal silver, and soil based organisms. I also did retention enemas with

probiotics and goldenseal added to the water daily for about three weeks.

These helped me tremendously.

All the best,
