I've been told that too high levels of cortisol (produced by the body when it's under stress) can even cause brain damage. I try to lower my stress levels but it's very difficult.

And what is your rationale for thinking that eating more than one egg every other day will damage your liver? Have you just practiced this limitation because others told you this, or have you actually reviewed some type of study that indicates that more than one egg a day causes liver damage? Personally, this doesn't sound correct to me, at all. I firmly believe you should not be in fear of eating egg yolks daily, and not limiting the quantity. > Yes, I'm taking sea ocean salt. > Thank you so much for your help. //> You're welcome.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 >I was saying that I have lots of acid in my stomach. I think that is the cause I've never had the H. bacteria in my stomach. Also anything that produce acid make my stomach hurt ( ex: Niacin, gelatin, etc.) So believe it or not, some of us have more acidity than others. Perhaps is not common, don't know that. ==>I believe you are mistaking toxicity for acidity; toxicity is not acidity. Also the symptoms of low stomach acid are exactly the same as high stomach acid. Your symptoms definitely point to low stomach acid. When I was curing my candida foods hurt my stomach too, but eventually as I become less toxic, and had enough Betaine hydrochloric acid my pains stopped. H. pylori are a normal inhabitant of the stomach, just like E. coli and salmonella are normal in the digestive system. ==>In order to turn this around Claudina, I recommend you stay on broths, soups, and pureed foods long enough to minimise your stomach pains.

I try to lower my stress levels but it's very difficult. > ==>Hi . When the adrenals malfunction, producing too high or too low levels of hormones, it can cause a lot of health problems in the long-run. Since candida overgrowth causes the adrenals and many other organs in the body to malfunction it is important to concentrate on building up your immune system so it will " make " candida change back in the friendly organism it is supposed to be in the body. The reason candida is the culprit is because its toxins make all of the body's cells go rigid/stiff, which makes it difficult for organs to function normally and even if they are able to produce hormones those hormones a less able to get into stiff cells, along with nutrients. The cells become more toxic as well because they are less able to get rid of their waste products. To help lower stress levels deep breathing exercises are very important because they switch your body over from running on your sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system. Also it is important to take the recommended amount of ocean sea salt which is very important for adrenal function. Also dry skin brushing or rebounding on a trampoline, or jump rope, are detoxifying methods that can be done daily. It is very effective in stimulating and decongesting the lymphatic system, and helps the liver and adrenal glands function. They exercise the lymphatic system and get it flowing and moving properly because this system does not have a pump like the heart. The parasympathetic system is concerned with conservation and restoration of energy, as it causes a reduction in heart rate and blood pressure, and facilitates digestion and absorption of nutrients, and consequently the excretion of waste products. In contrast to the parasympathetic system, the sympathetic system enables the body to be prepared for fear, flight or fight, and also illness. Sympathetic responses include an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output, a diversion of blood flow from the skin increased pupil size, bronchiolar (bronchilar tubes leading to the lungs) dilation, contraction of sphincters throughout the body, and metabolic changes, and particularly increased hormone production by the adrenals and other organs. For deep breathing exercises see the Folder " C) Breathe Properly - For overall health! " in our Group's Files. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stomach produces baking soda to protect the lining so it doesn't get eaten out by stomach acid, and your pancreas produces it to alkalize stomach acid. When you do not have enough HCL your body doesn't produce enough baking soda. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THnks for sharing laughter with us. Not laughing at your hardship. Pls understand > > My hubby took a dollop of butter(salted & non organic) just to finish off bcoz I said Iwant to throw or give it away. Afew hours later he had diarhea 3-4 times. Happen for 2 days in a row. COuld it be die-off or just the alumimium compund in salt he is reacting? Or bread he took with it. But bread normally makes him itch ==>Hi Joni. It is most likely die-off/healing reactions. Many people have candida and don't know it, or they refuse to believe they have it, so when they react to some foods they freak out, thinking they are allergic to them, or there was a bug in the food. Neither is true. Any aluminum in the salt, nor bread, would cause that kind of reaction. Bread tends to bind up a person rather than causing diarrhea. They are experiencing die-off/detox or healing symptoms because there are many foods that are antifungal, including butter. Also when the body gets the nutrients it needs it will go into action cleaning up the mess. LOL! That's why many people " think " they are allergic to garlic, or onions, or some other foods that are antifungal, however healing reactions are " not " allergic reactions!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I agree completely, Bee. An old friend of mine (who no longer calls me, unfortunately, because she doesn't understand my reasoning behind my dietary regimen, and I think she thinks it is strange) swears that she is 'sensitive' to cooked onions (they gave her the 'D'). Before I didn't think anything of it, but now I realize that the strong anti-fungal quality of the cabbage family is actually causing her healing/die-off reactions. I can say this with a certain degree of certainty because I used to go to shopping with her regularly and she would always be picking up large quantities of yeast infection creams and remedies at the grocery. This is most likely a classic example of having candida and not realizing it. Because she is closed minded, she will unfortunately live with candida for quite some time. Some people it is just very difficult to get through to, if not impossible, because the messages about health in the mainstream media are simply too entrenched in their minds. > > That's why many people " think " they are allergic to garlic, or > onions, or some other foods that are antifungal, however healing > reactions are " not " allergic reactions! > > Bee > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 - > There are so many hidden MSG-type substances in foods. > Bee > This makes me think of a question, Bee. I am EXTREMELY sensitive to red wine, and fairly sensitive to white. And I'm sensitive in a different way with beer. One glass of red wine can make me completely smashed and sleepy. Also, my feet and lower legs turn noticeably red. Two glasses of red knocks me out. It takes two to two and a half glasses of white, but I'm falling asleep no matter where we are. Beer just puffs up my stomach, but at least I can stay awake. Then the next day my hands, face and upper abdomen are puffy. What do you think the explanation for this is? I know it wouldn't be die-off, so is it some other chemical reaction? BTW, THANK YOU again for referring me to the electrolyte drink. Adding the sea salt has made a huge difference.

It can be a die-off symptoms too. Wine contains alcohol which is a mycotoxin (fungal-type toxin) which feeds candida. Candida produces carbon dioxide (gas), which causes bloating, along with over 79 different toxins, most of which are alcohol which affect the brain and mental functioning, like a hangover.
