RE: Diet and Enzymes (gross)

[Guest guest]

Thanks ! I also eat quinoa which seems to be

fine. I don’t think that

quinoa is actually classed as a grain although I could be wrong. I don’t eat any fruit. Herbal teas are no good for me because

they are high in salicylates which give me arthritic pain. I have a feeling that rice could be a

baddie too in all this business but you have to eat something!

I think my digestion is so poor too that

even the enzymes are likely to leak through my gut. It’s all a puzzle isn’t

it. Also when I have muscle tested

some supplements, they test fine but they are not fine when I have them. I was told that it is because they may have

some sort of chemical reaction in the gut with something else. Some days it is all too overwhelming.

Re: Re: Is

I hesitated to write to

you all about candida recipes, since I haven't fully checked them out, but

Sandy has been so generous with her time and information that I am inspired to

throw what I know in the ring. Dr. ph Mercola of www.mercola.com has written a couple of

books containing recipes that he claims are nutritious and delicious. (I

can't vouch, as I haven't tried any of them yet, but I believe him.) He

is the author of the best-selling No-Grain Diet and the more recent Total

Health Cookbook and Program (see http://www.coastherbal.com/no_gain_book.htm?OVRAW=mercola & OVKEY=mercola & OVMTC=standard).

I think his health advice is right on the money. I believe

both books contain lots of recipes that would be perfect for a candida

diet. Best,

Hi Everyone,

I'm glad my grocery list was helpful. I was

surprised to learn

that our prices in CA are lower than Maine or PA,

but after I thought

about the huge amount of farming that is done here

in CA, it made

sense. I did a quick Google search & found

that CA is the leader in

the amount of farm land dedicated to certified

organic crops. I

know that our chickens and eggs come from farms

just a few miles

north of SF and

much of the produce is grown within 50 miles of here.

So, even though home prices and gasoline are

extremely high, it's nice

to know that we're getting our food at reasonable

prices.

BTW, it took me a long time (years) to give up

some of my favorite but

unhealthy snack foods like potato chips &

Hagen Daz Bars;

but I just kept working toward that goal until I

finally stopped

wanting them at all. I usually have a dessert on

holidays, and

thoroughly love it, but I can tell a

difference in how I feel

physically the next day. I can attest to a

low-carb, low sugar diet

(like Atkins,

Enter the Zone or South Beach) working because I have

steadily lost weight over the years following an

anti-candida diet.

And I do eat plenty of healthy fats, probably 4 to

5 Tbs. a day.

I don't eat bacon, rarely pork or beef, but mainly

the

items on my list with variations of low-starch

vegetables and low-

sugar fruits.

Regarding recipes, there are many candida

cookbooks. I tend to just

cook so simply that there isn't much need for a

recipe. One dish

that I like begins by frying a whole chopped

yellow onion and several

garlic cloves into a pan with olive oil until

soft. Remove it to a

plate. Add more oil to the pan if needed; then

cook ground turkey in

the pan, chop & turn it as it fries. When it's

done, add the onion and

garlic back into the pan and let it sit, mingling

flavors on low heat.

Then, drop some fresh spinach in a pot with a

little boiling water &

cook gently a few minutes till soft. Put it all on

a plate, salt to

taste, add some virgin coconut oil (which kills

candida, viruses, etc.

because of its lauric acid). And that's it.

A second tasty snack starts with about half cup of

millet browned in

olive oil, add a couple cups of water and let it

boil gently for 20

minutes or so till it's fluffy. Keep adding water

if needed so it

doesn't dry or burn. Put some in a bowl, add

Almond Breeze or Rice

Milk and some cinnimon; and you have a delicious

treat. The leftover

can be refrigerated and rewarmed the next day.

In many countries in the world, housewives still

go every morning and

buy fresh, just-picked vegetables at farmers'

markets to use that day.

We Americans have become very removed from the

source of our food. But

fruits and vegetables begin losing nutrients from

the moment they are

picked and after a few days have less value. I

don't have the

strength to go to the store every day, but I do

what I can.

Simona,

I had a feeling someone would ask. Take your pulse for 60 seconds some time when you are calm and inactive. Then without standing up or sitting down put the food or supplement in your mouth under the tongue. (You have to open capsules of course and put some of the insides there. You can test the capsule itself as well, either together or separately.) Wait 1-2 minutes, noting if you feel any dizziness, malaise, fatigue, slight headache, etc. Then take your pulse for another 60 secs with the item still there. Rinse mouth thoroughly. Compare pulses. If your pulse has gone up and/or you had symptoms, you are sensitive to the product or your body doesn't want/need it. You can then test something else, but keep in mind that if you reacted to the last thing, your pulse will be trying to go back to normal during the test, so this could interfere with the results.

Some people say your pulse has to go up at least 5-7 beats to conclude a sensitivity, but I disagree. The more your adrenals are fatigued, the harder it is for your body to respond, hence the smaller the possible pulse change. I have also found that for me the results are clearer if I do it in the morning, when my pulse is higher and more changeable, than later in the day.

This is a very useful test for foods and supplements.

Best,

Dear Liz,

I eat white rice once a day or less, as well quinoa, amaranth, and tapioca, which are grain-like seeds. I also eat fruits and some milk products, and I still have a candida problem -- which is to say, don't consider me any kind of expert on this. I have so many food allergies that it is difficult for me to exclude food items based on candida or other criteria.

As far as digestive enzymes go, I think they can be helpful for digestion, but a couple of caveats: Make sure you're digesting them. I used to notice strange "parasite"-like masses in my stool until I finally realized they were the enzymes. I guess this was proof that my digestion was weak, eh? Also, make sure your body wants them using muscle testing or pulse testing. My pulse test told me my body did not want them. Can they heal the gut? I don't think that's their purpose. For that, you'll want to use curcumin or green herbal teas plus a daily dose of flax seeds.

I hope others will chime in, as I am not an expert on this.

All the best,

Mark and Liz Grady <grady@...> wrote:
