Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Dear Micky, Wecome to our group. Threelac is not recommended for candida because firstly the manufacturer claims you can take it without doing the diet, which is totally false and misleading, and secondly because it contains castor oil, which is a purgative (causes evacuation of the bowels), which would deplete water and nutrients in the bowels. The best way to stick to the candida diet I recommend to get plenty of good fats, i.e. coconut oil, which provides the very best source of energy for the body so you will feel more satiated and won't crave sugars and carbs as much. Also eat good animal meats or eggs with every meal, ensuring you are obtaining enough. The ideal proportions are according to the " Optimal Diet " at: homodiet.netfirms.com calculates the amount of grams to consume according to your height. My height is 5'6 " so I require 68 grams of protein; 170 - 238 grams of good fats, and 54 grams of carbs. To figure out what you require go to the Optimal Diet site your own intake go to: www.fitday.com When you go to reports on the left menu it will calculate the amount of each food group for you. Proteins and good fats are much easier for a body to digest than carbs and they are most important for health. In fact a human body can live well on only proteins and fats, but not on carbs (carbs are any foods that are not fats and proteins, including vegetables). One way to get optimal nutrition is to make the egg drink in our recipe files; I use 3 large eggs with 1 tsp. cinnamon, 2 tbl. coconut oil, some stevia (allowed sweetener) and boiling water in a delicious drink. It can help you curb cravings for carbs, and it is so easy to make. Be sure to thoroughly read my article for the diet, which is very different than others recommended, and tweak yours as required. I wish you the very best. Please do keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. We are here to help and support you. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 This may be a simplistic answer but I am able to stay on it pretty well because I feel so much better. I also suffered from severe asthma and was even rushed to the hospital and on a ventilator for a while. Since I have been on the diet I have been able to eliminate two medications I was on and the asthma is no longer controlling my life. That has helped me stay on the diet...that is a great reward to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 -------------- Original message -------------- Is your asthma caused by mold? A really great book is Asthma Survival :The Holistic Medical Treatment Program for Asthma. by Ivker D.O. and Todd N.D. It has a chapter in the book about candida over growth and its affect on asthma. I feel so much better being on an anti-candida diet and adding magnesium has significantly helped. I have only used my inhaler twice in the last 2 and half months and that is a big miracle.
