A few questions for Bee...

[Guest guest]

Hello Bee,

Hope you're having a good week, I hope you don't mind but I've got a

few questions as I've read a couple of things this week from other

sources and also been increasing my fats, yum yum.

1) Does eating salt with food interfere with protein metabolism? I

know it greatly aides digestion but also read that it hinders protein

metabolism.

2) Does eating ghee or butter interfere with absorption of nutrients

as it coats the organs in mucus and increases mucus in the body?

3) Since I've been increasing my fats up to the recommended amounts

(lower end), my stools sometimes float. I've heard this means I'm not

digesting fats properly. Does this mean I've just increased them too

quickly and I need to reduce again or do I keep to the correct

amounts and my body will get used to it?

4) Is Natures Biotics recommended? I've heard it literally eats

candida and other pathogens. The ingredients look safe.

5) How do you make the liver tablets without them sticking together

once they've been in the freezer!? Is there a clever storage trick I

don't know about?

6) I'm having trouble coming off my zinc supplement as my kidneys

really hurt if I don't take it and seem to get more tearful and

unable to handle stress. When I introduce liquid chlorophyll I

imagine I will be in even greater need of zinc as copper and zinc

compete.

Sorry if some of this doesn't make sense and also sorry it's quite a

lot to answer.

Have a lovely weekend,

Thanks,

Amy

==>Hi Amy. I did have a good week. Thank you.

==>Ocean sea salt is different than other salts; in fact it helps our

bodies break down protein into amino acids because it provides

minerals required for that process.

==>Ghee, butter and other good saturated fats actually help pull

nutrients out of all other foods, and they also protect and heal the

intestines as well as strengthening them. Sounds like someone is

hung up on the mucus issue. LOL!

==>Actually floaters are considered more healthy than sinkers - read

my article on Healthy Bowel Movements in the Digestion Folder, so do

not decrease your fats.

==>This product is complex just like Primal Defense, and it is

expensive, and it does not state it is free of dairy, soy, gluten,

wheat, etc per my article. I do not recommend complex products for 2

reasons: 1)most candida sufferers do not do well on such products,

and 2) these products are costly because they are highly marketed

which is totally unnecessary. It is better to get minerals and

vitamins separately; a company cannot possibly cram so much into one

product; they have to sacrifice some and usually it means the

probiotics are less so you have to take more to get the probiotic

benefit. You are much better off taking " tried & true " simplier

probiotic forms. The best probiotic is cabbage rejuvelac; otherwise

get a simple probiotic with 1 billion units per capsule - you take

only 10 billion per day.

==>You lay the pieces out on a tray to freeze them.

==>You can continue on zinc supplements, but wean back to 15 mgs per

day; stop them for 1-2 days every month.
