Just wanted to announce officially that I'm finally beginning to see

improvement in my candida levels. I know I'm tooting my own horn, here, but

I'm so thrilled to finally begin to feel better. My systemic allergic

reaction to all foods has just about disappeared, so I can actually have the

same vegetable two days in a row! Brain fog, sore throat, burning eyes,

white tongue, vaginal discomfort, all disappearing! Best of all, I can have

yogurt or a probiotic supplement once a day without a reaction!

Real glad for you, kim!

Great news, Kim! I have also been making progress. I think we've been on

the diet about the same length of time.

Most of the symptoms I had earlier this year only occasionally occur

lately, or they are gone altogether. I've also tried eating a little

fruit - green apples in particular - with no bad effects.

The holidays are going to be interesting. I may just eat whatever my

relatives fix for Christmas dinner and see what happens. Probably will be

lots of sweet things. It's probably going to be impossible to avoid all of

it.

It was really cold and windy here (central Illinois) last night. I was

afraid my ham radio antennas would all blow down, but surprisingly they

stayed up. But the temperature was 3 degrees F (-16 degrees C) last

night. And my car started right up, too!

It's warmed up to 10 degrees F right now.

Waaaaaa, it's not fair for you to be leaving me behind!!!! (lol) Seriously

though, I'm so

glad to hear this. It helps me to have hope. I've been on this anticandida

diet for 6

months plus a week, lol, and while I've seen some improvements, I'm STILL not

able to eat

a fruit, sigh. I tried having a very ripe banana last night, and my gut bloated

up, etc. My

allergies are still bad, brain fog still bad, etc. I guess I must have more

candida in me than

anyone else on earth, sigh. I've been hoping that my allergies would begin to

leave

BEFORE this coming May/June when I always get really bad healthwise. Kim, you

go girl!!

Keep it up, and continue to get your health back! By the way, I hear you about

doctors and

candida. It would be easier for me to get ahold of heroin than nystatin around

here, grrr.

And what I just don't understand is that they will " admit " that candida

overgrowth can

cause a problem in a woman's private area, but not in the rest of our body?

Yeah, right.

Keep up the good health love, and PLEASE send some of it on up to me too, K?

((hugs))

Hi Kim,

That is such excellent news! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

It gives everyone such encouragement. You've fought hard and long

for the improvements and it's wonderful to hear your success. You

should be very proud of your accomplishments. I'm very proud of you!

That's a very very well done Kim! Keep up the good work.

Luv & lots of hugs,

Bee

I can say the same thing! None of my doctors will let me get near it! It's

crazy isn't it, ? I tried to buy it when I was in Mexico but the little

pharmacy only had the cream.

Ps. By the way, I'm SO glad to hear all these success stories, everyone. I'm

still catching up with the reading!!
