Re: This is serious - I'm scared

[Guest guest]

Do you think you might want to have your vitamin and mineral levels checked???

This is just my opinion, but I think any restricted diet has the potential to

starve the heart in the long run especially if you have an underlying heart

disorder. I honestl think if one just gives up refined sugar, desserts, most

fruit, etc. which are the predominant yeast triggers, that's enough.

diet that triggers these heart problems. Why would I be having these

problems again now? I feel better now that I am following the Candida

plan because all of the problems I had with dizziness, memory lapses,

mood swings, etc. are greatly reduced but the heart problem has come

back where I am now forced to have to go back on my medication for

palpitations.

Jeanette,

I wish you a total and complete recovery.

Maybe you should include some whole grain in your diet.

I'm also watching my diet very carefully, but I do eat some carbs, and my

diet is not nearly as restrictive as Atkins, and I feel that I'm better,

overall and in regards to Candida symptoms.

My understanding is that quinoa, buckwheat, and spelt are relatively

friendly grains.

I regularly prepare quinoa and buckwheat the same way I would rice. I eat

spelt matza crackers.

When I eat grains and actually before all meals, I try to be sure to take

grapefruit seed extract before hand ( 6 drops in a glass of water, and then

I refill the glass with more water to get out the remainder of the extract).

After I eat them, I try to remember to take a acidophilus/positive flora

pill. I use the Jarro variety.

I don't eat grains every day, but my roommate who also has Candida, does eat

them every day, and she is also much better, overall and with respect to

Candida. She also eats oat meal. She normally has grains for breakfast,

but I don't think the time of day really matters.

If your candida symptoms involve chronic constipation, you may also want to

consider taking digestive enzymes, along with acidophilus and antifungals.

Also, Iodine deficiency can be a cause of heart palpitations. I don't know

if that's the cause in your case, but you may want to consider trying a

tablet that provides the day's requirements for Iodine.

(Year's ago, an eye doctor, starting asking me all kinds of questions that

had nothing to do with my eyes. It really surprized me, but all of the

answers were yes, including heart palpitations. He was concerned that I

might have a problem with my thyroid. I started taking a seaweed

supplement from Vitalia which provides my day's requirements for Iodine.

When I forget to take it regularly and get heart palpitations, it makes mine

go away. (The English spelling of Vitalia may be slightly different because

the writing on my bottle is in Hebrew, but the manufacturer is in New York.

My guess is that any brand will work the same. I don't have contact info

for Vitalia in the States, but the Israeli importer can be reached at

+972-3-634-3222)

May G-d bless you with health and happiness,

Jeanette,

Just a thought. Just like lack of Iodine can cause heart palpitations,

maybe lack of other essential minerals or vitamins can also cause them.

I have no concrete information on this subject, but it might be worth

looking into.

All of the best,

Thank you for sharing. Some of the die off symptoms- like our racing

hearts- can be pretty scary. It is comforting to know that this is

not unusual, and that it is a part of the healing process.

I am grateful to Bee for putting this site together, and thankful

that people are willing and able to share, the good and the bad, of

conquering this menace.

http://kelleygate.blogspot.com/

> One thing I can share with you is that when I was having

the worst of my candida problems, my heart was racing out of control

24/7, and it scared me terribly. In addition to the racing heart, I

had a tremendous amount of free-floating anxiety, which seemed to

make my heart even worse.

....other things that feed candida.

> I offer this just as my experience...if you truly do have a heart

problem, you should definitely see your doc, but if it is in

conjunction with candida die-off, you might just try to wait it out.

Since this isn't Bee's list I'm free to point out that racing hearts

may not be due to " die-off " or " healing reactions " , which seem to be

the catch-all reason on that list for any unwanted symptoms.

These symptoms and racing heart can also be caused by malnutrition

including low glutathione and low selenium; magnesium deficiency

causes rapid heart rate and potassium deficiency causes weak or

irregular heart rate for example.

A lot of people who do not follow Bee's advice to the letter find die

off is markedly reduced by attending to more deficiencies, using

supplements.

I am terribly sorry for my mistake in thinking this was Bee's group.

I do appreciate this group as well, and thank Sandy for inviting me

to it. The input is extremely helpful. I will look into the

deficiencies you suggested, as I do still get an erratic heart beat

some times, and was told it was just a die off symptom.

Thank you~

I really owe you a thanks for the following information. My heart was

pounding and palpitating for several days and getting worse by the

hour. After you sent this I went down to the natural food store to get

selenium and magnesium (couldn't find potassium, but ordered some

online). Within literally five minutes of taking the selenium and

magnesium my heart calmed down. I have been taking it, with Vit C, E,

A, Cod fish oil, Vit B and I feel like a new person. The ringing in my

ears went away, my heart acts normal, and I have slept through two

nights peacefully, a rarity lately... Thank you again.

Are you ingesting lots of Aspartame? If you are, check out

www.dorway.com. There's lots of other sites informing people of the

dangers of Aspartame. I know all about it because I was a victim of

Aspartame poisoning and I firmly belive that the Atkins Diet played

a major roll in that happening. I too had rapid heart rate among the

many other symptoms and only when I got Aspartame and MSG out of my

system did that stop and so did all of the other symptoms. I also

know that the Candida problem I now have is because of Aspartame the

poisoning. Hope this helps. Rose

I'm delighted that the minerals helped; it's one more duck in a row.

When you take potassium (chloride or citrate?) you might only get

99mg pills, about 1/10 of a gram, which means you might use 10-20 of

them daily.

You could also use cheaper " No-Salt " or some such low-sodium salt

from the supermarket and use it to salt your food.
