I just want to confirm that the suplements (B vitamis, Magnesium,

Calcium, coconut oil) are taken in stage 2, after I am on the diet for

>a while and I have no more die off. Is that correct?

==>Step 1 is eliminating foods that feed candida, and Step 2 is the

diet and supplements together, to build up the immune system, which

includes coconut oil as part of the diet, and you can also drink the

Pau D'Arco tea with the diet because it is a mild antifungal.

==>You would start on Step 3, Antifungals, when you've gotten through

the worst of the die-off symptoms, but you could still have some die-

off. If you start on antifungals such as oregano oil or clove oil or

garlic (you only need one) and your die-off is too severe to handle you

might need to stay on the diet & supplements longer, or start with very

small amounts of antifungal and gradually increase them.

Dear Bee,

Thank you very much for your answer. I'm starting with phase I,

taking out the sugar(fruits and sugary vegetables) and reducing the

amount of carbs. However, my body doesn't like either too much fat or

protein, I feel that I cannot take too much of it and I'm hungry all

the time. I tried to do a low carb diet before, but I lost so much

weight that I had to stop (size 00). It is funny that the only carbs

that don't give me acid stomach are potatoes and pop corn (they even

aliviate the simptoms), but all the others do. Do you think I can

follow the anti candida diet including some carbs in my diet? would I

have good results?

Thanks a lot,

Francisca

==>While you " may think " your body doesn't like too much fat or

protein, they are the very easiest foods for the body to digest,

while carbs require a great deal of energy, enzymes and resources in

order to digest them. In fact you can be totally healthy on only

meats, eggs and good fats, with no carbs of any kind in your diet.

See the All Meat Diet experiment by Stefansson at:

http://www.biblelife.org/stefansson1.htm - there are 3 parts. His

diet consisted of 20% protein and 80% fat and no carbs.

==>There are many healthful benefits to eating the recommended

ratios of proteins to fats to carbs - see the Candida Diet Folder on

how to calculate your ratios according to height, and also articles

about protein and its importance in the diet and about Carbs. Also

see the Fats & Oils folder. In addition to other benefits proteins &

fats stimulate the gall bladder to empty (helps keep the liver &

gall bladder healthy), and good fats are extremely important for the

health of the intestines.

==>When you have candida, weight is the least of your problem. Your

weight will normalize once you've cured the candida. When I was

curing my candida I was losing 3 lbs. a day at one point - see Bee's

Personal Candida Story in the Files (after the folders). It is very

important to eat enough good fats per the ratios recommended in my

article and the Candida Diet Folder. You will be changing your body

over from running on carbs to running on fats, which is much more

efficient and healthier, however there is an adjustment period your

body has to go through. You will never regret changing your diet.

==>Carbs are any foods that are not classified as protein or fat,

which includes vegetables. There are lots of vegetables allowed on

the diet. You would hamper your progress and success if you eat

carbs not allowed because they feed candida. To help your stomach

eat 1 tablespoon of unheated sauerkraut or kimchi with every meal -

make them homemade or buy unpasteurized sauerkraut at the health

store, and also have the lemon juice & ocean sea salt drink with

meals. You may also need extra digestive enzymes - see the

Digestion Folder on how to test for stomach acid levels and how to

take digestive enzymes.

==>I wish you the very best Francisca. I look forward to hearing

how you do. Take one step at a time and eventually you will arrive

at total health! Believe us, this program does get excellent

results if you follow it.

Hugs, Bee
