parasites, too much lemon/stevia?

[Guest guest]

Hello Bee and everyone,

I have been doing the diet completely for about 3 weeks and adding

supplements slowly. Still trying to figure out my constipation issue

grrrrr... but at least my former chronic and intense bowel/digestive pain is

MUCH less. In fact, I am feeling pretty much greater than I can remember

feeling in a long time. Yesterday I was in good mood and super productive

all day. I even stayed up in bed reading after dh fell asleep because i

wasn't too tired! This is wonderful and I thank you, Bee, so much for your

program that has led me to give my body what it needs.

Now a few questions -

I am used to drinking way more than 36 ounces of liquid a day. I have read

the info about drinking too much water, and it sounds good, but i still FEEL

thirsty. I've been trying to just drink the lemon/salt mix that i make up

for the day, but i always want to gulp water along with it, and I easily

finish all of it before dinner. Today, I actually mixed up a whole 'nother

batch of 3 lemons and drank all of that too. So, should I just force myself

to drink less? Am i consuming too many lemons? I still have some

constipation, which I don't understnd how that could be possible with all

those lemons. Will it hurt my teeth? Also, I add stevia to the drink to

balance the acid. I don't know a quantity, it is to taste. Is this too much

stevia to eat every day? Along with the stevia in the egg drink almost every

day?

And one more question about parasites. I have had parasites for a long time,

maybe my whole life who knows. I became aware of this after a few years of

debilitating " IBS " type symptoms when I actually crapped out a few giant

worms. Besides being traumatic, it was my first education on the fact that

people here do have worms and they cause problems. Since then, I used

variouis herbal remedies for the parasites, and even a round of antibiotics

(at my parents' coersion). However, I am quite certain that I still have

parasites, especially since I just got back not long ago from a few months

of travelling in central america. I have read that having parasites

interferes with any anti-candida effort, and that you have to get rid of the

parasites before anything else. Bee, what do you think? My guess is that

this is the same perfect diet for that, as well as the immune system, but

should I take different herbal things prior to the antifungals?

Thanks so much,

==>That is wonderful you've benefitted so much already ! Do

ensure you eat plenty of good fats to avoid constipation. If you

cannot tolerate very much coconut oil or butters yet, both are

antifungal, take some extra virgin olive oil until your other fats

are increased enough.

==>, you get more thirsty if you do not consume enough fats,

including oil soluble vitamins A, D & E and omega-3. Fats are

required in order the cells to utilize, along with minerals

(contained in the ocean sea salt).

==>Lemons are okay for candida but you shouldn't have too many

because they do contain fructose. The diet itself is excellent for

building up enamel on the teeth, so the amount of lemons recommended

wouldn't cause a problem. Also stevia should only be consumed in

small amounts. You may be getting too much of both of them.

==>If you think you have parasites it is best to get tested to

confirm it, and to find out what kind so you know what to use to get

rid of them. I do not recommend doing a treatment without knowing

what you are dealing with. However, garlic, oil of oregano and clove

oil do kill parasites.
