RE: Fw: The Whole Regimen How To

November 1, 2007

I will continue reading and learning before I make any further statements

here ... but I just wanted to ask if others have a problem with bad

breath??? I sometimes lick the back of my hand and wait a little while

before sniffing it.

Usually I do this if someone has told me I have a bad breath, or if I

suspect I might. I have a foul, sour smell.

I don't want to gargle or spray with mint flavoured breath fresheners

because of the salicylates and other chemicals, so I try not to get close to

anyone .... in case I offend them.

I also have dark circles under my eyes most days and sometimes get a smelly

belly button and/or behind my ears (and sometimes tinea between toes)

Sorry this is long. Mainly just wanted to ask about the bad breath issue.

Also (sorry) ... is it acceptable to take Yakult?? And I can't seem to find

out why yoghurt isn't allowed on the diet.

Thanks,

>Hi – I also have bad breath which is embarrassing and it can be a

sign of candida overgrowth. As the candida dies off and goes back to its

normal stage, the bad breath should subside to my knowledge. Also, taking

chlorofresh should help with bad breath also.

Interesting that you say that about the belly button – mine does that, too,

at times. And when I do allow myself a little bit of coffee (like ¼ cup)

which is not allowed on this program, I not only sweat quite a bit under my

arms, but the sweat smells horribly strong. It’s very strange to me but I am

sure there is an explanation.

trying to make sense of it all. I'm almost positive I have a

candida overgrowth (have suspected that for ages, but doctor just

keeps saying, " you don't have thrush " ) I asked him if it would

hurt to take a Diflucan tablet to kill of anything that might be

there .... but I'm glad he didn't agree. I did a google search and

found it's quite a dangerous drug.

==>That is great that your doctor didn't agree to taking Diflucan!

> I get hives (and anaphylaxis) ... and have done the rounds of

doctors, specialists, allergists, etc. Years ago was put on a low

carb. diet by an immunologist to lower my very high insulin. I

lost weight, lowered the insulin and felt terrific.

> No hives during that time at all. As I added more carbohydrates

to my diet I still felt good but the weight started to come back.

Then I took a couple of Nurofen tablets for toothache and had a

massive anaphylactic shock. I had no idea Nurofen acts like

aspirin (which I had been avoiding since my first attack because I'd

had a Disprin and the doctor suspected aspirin sensitivity. I found

the Failsafe website and joined. I've been on a low salicylate

diet for about a year now ... but still had a few episodes of hives

(with a couple resulting in anaphylaxis) I haven't been happy with

the Failsafe diet because of the amount of sugar that's allowed, but

I've kept my own diet relatively low carb.

==>The Failsafe diet claims that salicylates and amines in foods

should be eliminated, which leads many people to eliminate good foods

for no good reason. Any substances can be isolated from good natural

foods and be found to make people react negatively to them, but whole

foods are different. I don't believe in maligning whole natural

foods.

another ... until finally the right one is found.

==>Many members of this group have had bad breath and other offensive

body odors, and some have been on this program long enough to cure

them. Body odors and bad breath are mainly caused by toxins, and by

a messed up digestive system. Candida itself puts out over 79

different kinds of toxins, most of which are alcohol. Have you ever

smelled an alcoholic's breath? It is very sour and foul.

> I also have dark circles under my eyes most days and sometimes get

==>Dark circles, and your other problems are caused by toxins too,

and tinea is a fungus. It is important to not only follow the diet

and take all supplements, but also to help your body detoxify; see

our Group's Files (left menu) and find the " Candida Symptoms, Help

For " Folder and read the article " How to Detoxify Effectively. "

And I can't seem to find out why yoghurt isn't allowed on the diet.

==>The reason you do not have yoghurt is because it contains lactose,

which changes into another sugar called " galactose " during

fermentation. No dairy products should be consumed other than

butter, ghee, or butter oil. The rule is " the higher the butterfat

content the lower the lactose. "

Hi ,

I saw Bee responded to your email, but I just wanted to share a few

things. Salicylates, or salicylic acid is said, by some, to have

anitfungal properties, so when diets tell you to avoid them, they are

actually encouraging people to avoid substances that help kill

Candida. The reasons these diets " seem " to work is that they reduce

die off reactions, so people do feel better at first. But, since it

just reduces die off, but doesn't kill Candida, in the long run, the

diet doesn't solve the main problem.

I agree with you about loving the high fat part of the diet. I too

love chicken skin, pork fat, butter, all the stuff main stream

nutrition says I shouldn't have. The funny thing is now that I have

been on the diet for awhile the strong cravings I had for those items

have lessened, and I can't help but think that those cravings were

because I needed to eat more fats, and now that I get enough, I don't

crave it so badly anymore.

Anyway, welcome to the group! Happy to have you! " )

Hi a,

Not sure if you know this or not but if you are craving the taste of

coffee, swiss water decaf coffee IS allowed. It taste great, as far

as coffee goes, though it is more expensive. BUT it is allowed, so

you might want to look into that. I LOVE it!

Hi Irene,

No, there's no coffee shake recipe in the files. What I've created has

come from knowing what I can and can't have on this plan. This is a

variation of the Bee Drink recipe. I have added more eggs, fats and

spices and less water with the swiss water processed decaf coffee

concentrate replacing some of the water. I drink it throughout the day

in place of two meals.I can send you the exact recipe if you are

interested. Of course I had to slowly build up to the extra spices(eg.

I add 2 tsp. of clove powder instead of 1 instead of drinking clove

tea but you could keep spice ratios as they are) and fats to reduce

die off but now I do well on it and find it delicious.
