> Hi everyone! I just joined this group and while reading through

the materials, I do have a couple of questions.

==>Hi ! Welcome to our wonderful group!

>

> 1 - Will an enema without the Nystatin be beneficial? If not,

where would I find a doctor to RX this?

==>Yes an enema is beneficial without nystatin. You should start

with a coffee enema which decongests the liver and adrenals and helps

them dump their toxins. You wouldn't want to start on nystatin too

soon in any case. Wait until you've got the diet down pat and can

start on antifungals, other than coconut oil, per my article - do

each step one at a time. See the Enema Folder for more information

about enemas.

> 2 - It says to go on the diet for a while (I think I read 6

months?) before starting the antifungals. I'm assuming that meant

even the antifungals listed (like the crushed garile and oil or

oregano, etc) Is there a reason for this?

==>Some people need to be on the diet 3-6 months, but others should

get the diet right within a month and start on antifungals right

away. The reason some people need to be on the diet longer is

because they have had candida a very long time and/or are severely

ill and the diet will kill off some candida and also build up their

immune system so that when they start on antifungals their bodies are

better able to handle the die-off symptoms.

> 3 - Is there any specific information available for breastfeeding

moms here?

==>We haven't written up anything specific for breastfeeding moms,

but we do have some members who are breastfeeding who are eating the

diet, and taking antifungals, probiotics, etc. without any problems.

Breastfeeding moms (and their babies) need the nutrients this diet

provides. But because you are breastfeeding it is even more

important to go step by step and not rush into taking antifungals too

early because any changes will affect your breastmilk. It will be

easier on you and your baby to makes changes gradually so your bodies

can adjust to each one without being overwhelmed.

==>Check out the Weston A. Price Foundation website at:

http://www.westonaprice.org for more information on breastfeeding and

babies' health, however their articles are not written towards

getting rid of candida.

>

> Thanks everyone I am excited about joining this group. I have been

on another group but still had unanswered questions so I went

searching agian. I have tried a diet very similar to this one, but

after 2 weeks I stopped!! I just felt I couldn't do it anymore, now

the symptoms are returning and I'm hurting again! I am just worried

I will fail again after a short time on the diet again.

==>I understand how difficult it is to stick to the diet, and the

diet I recommend is even more strict than any other one recommended

for candida, but it works. Other diets are missing important

nutrients and allow foods which feed candida or cause problems for

candida sufferers. That may be one of the reasons you weren't as

successful with the diet. The key is to start on coconut oil and

other " good " fats, along with the rest of the diet, and gradually

increase them, which will eventually make your body run on fats

rather than carbs, which is healthier for many many reasons.

Eliminating grains, nuts, legumes, high carb veggies and sugars will

help stop your cravings for sugars and carbs.

==>If you run into difficulty this time read the article in our

Candida Diet Folder on Withdrawal Symptoms - it gives you some things

that can help you get through the cravings phase. Also ensure you

are drinking the lemon juice and ocean sea salt in water as

recommended. It is very important to get these minerals, which are

the building blocks for the body, and the drink also aids digestion

and helps the liver and adrenals detoxify.

>My main symptoms are vaginal yeast infection, brain fog, thrush (I

think?), and yeast on the nipples/breast from breastfeeding my son.

He shows no signs of thrush but I have had this yeast in my nipples

and breasts for 9 months now, since having him. It is excruciating

and I'm just sick of it. I want to continue breastfeeding for his

sake, so that's mainly why I am here. I am a chronic soda drinker

and that is the hardest thing for me (I know they are terrible!!!).

==>See the Vaginal Yeast article (after the folders in the files) for

specific treatments. Apply coconut oil directly to your breasts,

rubbing it in well several times a day. It is a great antifungal,

antibiotic, etc. and will also help your baby get the good fats he

needs. In fact you can give him some coconut oil directly too - I'm

not sure how much, but 2 teaspoons per day should be fine - but start

with 1/2 tsp per day and gradually increase it. He may be able to

have more but I have to look that up.

==>To get off soda, start with the lemon juice and ocean sea salt

drink, to which you can also add plain carbonated water to make it

more appealing. If you get the nutrients you need your cravings will

diminish, especially good fats, plenty of protein and minerals. Also

take the supplements recommended, and do not take any supplements not

on the list. The entire diet and supplements works together to

provide everything your body needs to do natural healing.

>

> Well thanks for reading. I look forward to getting to know

everyone.

==>You are welcome for the reading! Education is the key to

understanding what you need to do to regain your health, and to

maintain it throughout life. Your baby is very fortuate to have a

mom like you who wants to improve health. It's onward and upward my

friend. We look forward to getting to know you too. We are here to

help and support you and your baby. You can do this girl!! Go for

it!

> Wow thank you for all the help! This is a ton of info!

==>It is a ton of information, and each and every bit of it is so

important to know and understand.

> Couple more questions I thought of while reading your response.

> 1 - I am on Synthroid, have been about 2.5 months now. Is this

going to interfere with getting better? My levels were really low

after having my son, and I go back to be evaluated in another 3

months to see where we are at and adjust them.

==>Candida toxins makes all cells go rigid so that inteferes with

thyroid function, and also doesn't allow the cells to easily take in

hormones and nutrients. It also makes red & white blood cells

rigid. Thyroid problems are very common to have when you have

candida. It is much better for you to take Armour or another type of

natural dessicated thyroid rather than Synthroid which is synthetic.

Here's an article which discussed it:

http://thyroid.about.com/cs/thyroiddrugs/a/armour.htm

==>I lost my thyroid due to candida, and I believe it was because it

was overly treated with dessicated thyroid and too much iodine, and

also I did not know that soy was bad for you, which causes thyroid

problems. Dr. Mercola says that it is best not to start on thyroid

medications because your body becomes dependent upon them. At this

point you probably shouldn't go off them however, but do read up on

it so you know when your thyroid switches to overactive.

==>The thyroid can behave very irratically when you have candida.

That's what happened to mine and it was severe Grave's disease so I

had to have it zapped with radiation to kill it. Getting rid of the

candida is the most important thing you can do afterwhich your

thyroid will normalize. Don't take any kelp, seaweed, etc. which

contain a lot of iodine. Your body only requires trace amounts of

iodine - there is enough in butter and ocean sea salt.

> 2 - Can Stevia be added to the lemon & seasalt mixture?

==>Yes, but it is extremely sweet so be cautious - start with a half

a pinch. lol!

> 3 - I forgot to ask this earlier... why no avacado? And why is it

in some of the recipes if we can't have it?

==>Some candida sufferers do okay on only 1/2 an avocado but a whole

one is too much. It is high in carbs, that's why. So do be cautious

about eating it.

> 4 - I probably should know this one, but how do you make tomato

paste? I was reading the recipes and saw it used in the meatloaf

one, but didn't see a recipe of how to make it!

==>One of our moderators is Suz who is a professional chef. If you

could write a separate message to her with her name in the subject

line I'm sure she would be happy to help you.

> 5 - My son is eating solids now too (he's 9 months tomorrow)...

should I be trying to give him mostly this diet as well? He only

eats fruits, veggies, and meats and sometimes a carb snack as it

is... but I worry if he is going to have a yeast issue.

==>By the way, carbs are any foods not classified as protein or

fats. He would do better having the foods on this diet, and he

should only have a very small amount of fruit per day along with good

fats to slow their release into the system - fructose is one of the

worst sugars for anyone - do a search at www.mercola.com with

fructose to find out more about why it isn't god. Also grains,

legumes, nuts and seeds should be kept a bare minimum and they must

all be properly prepared or soaked prior to eating to remove the

phytates that cause the digestive system to block mineral

absorption. He could have some ocean sea salt too - he also needs

the minerals, as well as plenty of animal proteins, fish or eggs.

Eggs is nature's most perfect food. Also he need plenty of good fats.

>I was on antibiotics when I found out I was pregnant (at like 4

weeks along) and then after he was born I got mastitis, and had a

round of antibiotics then when he was 2 weeks old. That's when the

nipple/breast yeast started, but I didn't know what is was... and the

mastitis came back and I took an even stronger round of antibiotics

for even longer! I knew to avoid antibiotics but I was in so much

pain and so sick that I couldn't move and was shaking and I just

wanted to feel better. If I had known it would cause me 9 months of

pain ... no way! Anyway... he has been exposed to these through

placenta and through breastmilk. Not sure if that predisposes him to

yeast or not. He has never shown any signs of it, but has been

treated orally since mine was recurrent. But we both have been on

probiotics since he was born, and me even before he was here. Okay

sorry that got long!!

==>Wow. You've had quite a time of it. If your son doesn't have a

white tongue nor cradle cap nor digestive problems he might not have

candida - hopefully he doesn't. If he gets recurrent ear infections,

colds, flu, etc. it could still mean he has candida. You can go

wrong putting him on a modified version of this diet. Besides it

will set up his taste buds for good nutritious foods and not fruits,

sweets, high carbs, etc. and set him up for life!

>

> Thank you SO MUCH for all your help. Your response was more help

than all the info I have gotten in the past few months! It's funny I

have helped 3 or 4 breastfeeding friends get rid of their thrush but

I can't get rid of mine!

==>I'm so happy you been helped! You can get rid of your breast

thrush but the diet is the most important thing that will help.

Hugs, Bee

Welcome to the group, I don't really have much info on polio except that I had

it orally when I was a child from what I understand I guess that's the proper

way to effectively receive the vax. I am also against vaccinating I feel they do

more harm than good.

Keep us posted

Clare Gallant <snackbutter@...> wrote:

Hi all,

I'm a SAHM of two non-vaxed kids. I'm pretty dedicated to not vaccinating as I

have a gut level reaction to inserting bits and pieces of viruses into my kids

and I've done a bit of research into what can go wrong when kids are vaccinated.

However, I've joined this group because of outside pressure from my mother, who

is really upset that we have not yet done any of the vaccinations and we're

adamant that we won't. She's prepared to let most things go, but she's deadly

afraid of polio and wants us to at least get that one done. I would fight her

tooth and nail, but my husband is spending a fair amount of time in Afghanistan,

which is apparently one of a handful of countries left where polio is still a

problem. He's military, so he was forced to get vaxed for everything, including

polio, but I want to know if he can be a carrier for the disease. That's my

first question.

My second question is about homeopathics. I know there are homeopathic

" vaccinations " availabe, but I'm not sure if there's one for polio and how

effective it would be. I'm wondering if anyone has any information - firsthand

or otherwise - that they'd be willing to share.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to " meeting " you all.

Hi Anne,

Yes, it's an oral vaccine... my mother's words: " just two little drops. How

bad could it be? " Ha! Loaded question, of course.

Hi anna,

Military life's fun, huh? NOT! At least, not for me. I guess some people

enjoy the freedom when their spouse is away, but not me. You mentioned reading

your child's story and I'd like to... is it posted somewhere on the group or

would you send it to me? I know, the vaccine is just the beginning... it's that

which opens us up to all kinds of other sickness. I am firmly opposed to them,

but with him being over there and possibly being exposed to it, I'm just not

sure if he could be a carrier for it. If he can, it would make me really

uncomfortable to have him home, in such close contact with the kids and not

knowing if they're going to be able to fight it off or not. I suppose I just

need to pick a stand and stick by it.

Hi Venita,

Thanks for the info on the homeopathics. The trick is going to be finding a

good homeopath in order to get the nosodes. And it's good to know that it's

administered after exposure to the disease. That way, I'd just have to be super

clear on the warning signs and symptoms and hope that my kids are forthcoming

with anything they're feeling so that I can act quickly if I need to. Thanks

for the info.

Hi Clare:

Above is a part of her story - I know that it is a hard choice. I have cried

myself to sleep at night thinking that I am " killing " my kids by not vaccinating

them, opening them up to disease. The brainwashing that we've been through as a

society is long and hard and it's hard to buck that system. I do know.

As to the military, if my husband had to have these shots, I would not let him

be around the kids afterward, and you've probably heard about the kid that lost

20% of his skin and spent weeks in the hospital due to his dad's smallpox

vaccine?

If not, I'm sure someone here knows the story. He can be a carrier with the

vaccine. I would think that anything he brought back if he were not vaccinated

would actually leave him sooner than the contamination from teh vaccine, but I

don't *know* that, I'm guessing.

Good luck...............

Hi all,

I used to manage that list and I have basically given up referring to

homeopaths on any lists.

I have referred hundreds of you to these homeopaths and in so many cases,

so many have been extremely disappointed. I now only refer to 2 or 3

homeopaths who do phone consults.

Email me and tell me where you live and read what I have said about

nosodes. You don't want to be doing that in my opinion.

anna,

I feel for you and your daughter. That's something that nobody should have to

go through and I feel and share your anger toward the medical profession. They

seldom realize that it's our children they're playing with. To them it's just

another needle. They never think about the after effects or how we have to go

home and deal with whatever comes up. My sister is a nurse, my brother a

doctor. And I'm the black sheep of the family for questioning medicine and

science and the " wisdom " of vaccinating innocent children. I get it from

everybody. It's a real downer at family get-togethers. :-) Fortunately, we

all live pretty far from each other.

As for the military, my husband tried to fight the " needle parade " , but they

are absolutely forced into doing it. They also inject their uniforms with some

chemical that's supposed to repel bugs (of all kinds) and are told not to wash

it for a certain period of time in case the chemical gets washed out. Guess

what he did right away after getting it back from the process? Yup, off to the

lanudromat (didn't want whatever it was in our own washer) to clean it right

out. Worse still, he was wearing it the next week and was met by some military

health official, who gave him crap for wearing it in Canada as the chemicals

were not fit for the Canadian public to be exposed to. How on earth were they

supposed to be fit for the guys to wear all day every day if they weren't fit

for Joe Bloe on the street to have a casual exposure to?!? Science baffles me.

Maybe not so much science, but beurocracy and " rules " like the vaccination

" schedule " .

Sorry for the vent.

Thanks for the comiseration.

Now, I will make sure every new uniform that comes in gets the LONG wash and

Hi anna,

As far as I know, it's just before they deploy that the uniforms get

complete. I don't think they come already done, but you just never know.

I just have to say, I did go to this list and I have been happy with the

homeopath I picked off the list of people in my state. 2 were in

Huntsville, too far and one in b'ham.

so far she's helped the baby and my dh.

so, it's not a complete loss.
