> My question to you now is I'm getting ready to leave in a couple

of days to go downstate to see my daughter and son in law. He is the

one who had the crohns surgery a couple of weeks ago. He got so sick

after surgery, we didn't think he'd make it. He's lost almost 40 lbs

now and is having high fevers and night sweats and an overwhelming

weakness. I've always felt that his problem is connected to candida,

and low adrenals. He has been on antibiotics and steroids

(prednisone) longterm. He also craves high carbs and sweets. Well,

since he and my daughter have some knowlege about candida, and they

actually were the ones who introduced me to the book " Nourishing

Traditions " . I want to go down and help cook for them and help him to

gain some weight. What can you suggest? My daughter is cooking bone

broths for him now. And I suggested eating lots of good fats. I

actually told him that it will help him to put on weight. But I know

through myself that it made me lose weight. He

> cannot afford to lose another pound right now. He looks like

someone from Somalia. His legs are like thin boney sticks. He is also

still having so much gut pain and gas from the surgery. Would the 9

day program help him or would he lose more on it? What do you suggest

I cook for him to survive this and heal? It is a desparite situation.

Prayers are needed here. I don't want him to get worse under my care,

as his family is not in agreement with me. His brother is going to

med school to be a doctor and his mom is a nurse. He just lost his 66

year old father from cancer 4 weeks ago, so it is a difficult

situation for all. Thanks for any advice you give.

==>Weight is the least of his problems however. He needs nutrients

and he needs to get off those toxic drugs which are poisoning his

body. Bone broths are excellent, also Bee's egg drink, nature-made

fats, low carbs and no sugars, grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, soy, man-

made fats, processed foods, etc. You know the drill. Tell him and

his brother and sister that " no one ever gets sick from a lack of

drugs! " They get sick from a lack of nutrients! He also needs the

supplements I recommend particularly cod liver oil, vitamin E,

vitamin b complex, megadoses of vitamin C to clear out toxin,

cal/mag, etc.

Luv, Bee

Hi ,

I hope you are doing well. I surely can relate to

food addictions since I'm a food addict. But I do

not and will not ever have this problem under control.

I just will have to fight with it and get stronger

every day and beat it down with my strategies.

I recently figured out something for myself that I

think might be interesting to share. A frequently

used expression all of a sudden made sense to me. The

phrase was, " Progress, not Perfection " . Every time I

have cheated I have tried to make it a learning

experience, and because I have, my cheats have been

further and further in between.

I gained 13 pounds in two days from just eating low

carb foods (but not anti-candida foods), so I know how

cheats affect me so swiftly.. I can't afford not to

get back inline because if I don't all the hard work

would be down the drain, and I'd quickly regain the

129 pounds I've lost. Plus I immediately feel sick,

bloated, a loss of energy that is extremely noticeable

and a good incentive to get back inline.

I know a few people who have actually lost lots of

weight and managed their food addictions very well.

They fell, they cheated, and each time they got

stronger because each mistake, rather than stopping

them, gave them a new strategy to avoid that situation

again.

They were never and never will be perfect.. but they

focused on progress and they've gotten so good at

their strategies and management they hardly ever

deviate any more. They almost appear " perfect " , but

they are just really good at their practices

strategies.

Like one person I know won't go into a fast food

restaurant, because she knows that is a weakness for

her. Rather than lamenting that weakness, she accepts

it and works her life around it.

In learning from my mistakes, I've had to acknowledge

my own weaknesses and guard them. I ask that certain

foods not be in the house. I don't bake under any

circumstances (need a cake for a party, I'll pick it

up from a bakery). I do not cook many low carb foods

(especially processed meats), and I do not cook for

others when I'm hungry.

I do not leave the house without my food, even though

I might be full when I leave. You never know what

might come up.

I keep emergency food in the freezer in case my alarm

clock doesn't go off. How did I learn all these

strategies? Through my own mistakes and finding ways

to avoid them. Will I make more mistakes.. of

course. Will I get stronger with each mistake? Well

that is my hope and what I strive for.

I am hoping your SIL is doing better! I know it seems

like the same foods that make us lose weight will do

the same for others but it's not the case. These

foods will normalize his weight, and also put the

right type of weight on him. Hope you are successful

with that!

Become a mentor. Nothing will reveal your weaknesses faster. Nothing will better

motivate you to overcome your weaknesses.
