Hi Heidi. That is horrible what they are doing to him. The best

documented proof is found in The Yeast Syndrome book, written by

Parks Trowbridge, M.D. It was first printed in 1986 so you might

have to find it in a used bookstore or online. But as with any other

source they do not recommend the correct diet. The documented proof

of my diet is found at The Optimal Diet website;

http://homodiet.netfirms.com/index.html

And there's tons of information on the Weston A. Price Foundation but

they do not address candida about good saturated fats, good diets,

etc.; http://www.westonaprice.org

You may be able to find articles on candida at Dr. Mercola's site:

http://www.mercola.com

I hope that helps.

What a terrible story. My dad just got diagnosed with

alzheimers and I sent my mum and him a great book by a

man how cured himslef and now has a theory (very

similar to Bee's writings) of the underlying cause of

many mental illnesses (including candida, bad

nutrition, environmental toxins and mercury fillings):

" Beating Alzheimer's

A step towards unlocking the mysteries of brain

diseases "

Tom Warren

My mum who does not believe in any alternative

treatments said thank you very much and reminded me

that it was useless to try anything. So, I know how

frustrating it can feel. But I say to myself, all I

can do is to provide them with the information, then I

have to accept whatever their desicion is. It's hard

but anything else would just drive me nuts with

frustration.

Then you can also print out and send them info from

Bees' site. That would probably be very helpful too.

You never know, someone might be bored some day and

start to read and be caught in and actually change

their minds. I have often noticed that when

information comes from ME, it's disregarded, but if

it's from a book or especially a doctor or something,

then all of a sudden it's truth. lol

I have a strategy that I've had some success with when it comes to

convincing family and friends to accept alternative medicine. My mom

was and is a believer in traditional medicine. She used to be a nurse.

BUT, over the past decade I've convinced her to treat her arthritis

holistically, treat her sarcoidisis in a similar fashion, try similar

remedies for insomnia, give up canned food, soda and margarine, try

intestinal cleanses and give up steroid medicines. She supported me in

my quest to get an alternative treatment for my Dad's brain cancer. She

did not really believe me about the candida, but last week she did a

little research on the Internet and then called me up to grill me about

my diet. These may seem like small steps, but as she grills me about

my treatment, my goal is to get her to open her mind to the fact that

all her autoimmune illnesses are related and that she might also have

candida. We share the same bad habits... I've had similar successes

with family members and friends. Admittedly since my candida has

destroyed my health, my voice is less convincing now, then in the past

One of the ways I convince people is with data. I try to find studies

that have been conducted, trials are very convincing as well. Try to

provide them the information from as many mainstream sources as

possible. The US media is often so censored in this area, but main

stream press from abroad- particularly the UK, Australia, Germany, Japan

and Canada seem to pass most people's non-quack litmus test. Info from

the World Health Organization seems to work too. When I find a study or

report from an alternative media outlet, if it was conducted at a

university or research facility, I go get the study from their web site,

so again they do not think I'm sending them info from what they would

consider a non-reliable resource.

If the study gets TV news coverage, see if the segment is downloadable

or repeating. The treatment for my Dad was featured on 60 minutes.

While I spent hours in a medical library researching it, 60 minutes did

much of my sales pitch for me.

Case studies alone do not seem to do the trick. Case studies alone do

not seem to do the trick. However, for my dad's brain cancer, we talked

to and met four patients who were five+ year survivors. (His form of

cancer had a life expectancy of 3-6 months).

I've also noticed that people who are not into alternative medicine seem

to trust MDs who practice integrative medicine more than the word of

NDs. (unfortunately)

If they are aware of something small that worked on you and they might

be willing to try it on themselves if they have the small ailment. For

example, something that deals with sinus trouble, headaches, cramps or

allergies. Once you have a small success, they they will trust your

opinion more when it comes to more serious illness.

One Caveat, getting them to make a lifestyle change is most difficult.

I'm still struggling with that one myself.

My situation with my mom is not as urgent with yours, but you my try

finding them an MD that practices integrative medicine that understand

the true causes of these illnesses. When you present the MD's

theories, present his or her credentials as well.

I hope this helps a little

Hello and Heidi,

I knew Tom Warren, and know his wife and friends - everything in

Reversing Alzheimer's is true. I did see the before and after x-rays

of his brain. I think he's the only clinically documented person

(with x-rays, tests, etc.) to be cured of Alzheimer's. He helped

many others towards better health and was an absolutely lovely man.

I watched him change an Alzheimer patient's health. He wrote another

book, Reversing Chronic Disease. I don't know if they're still

available as I bought both of mine from Tom.

If Bee prefers we take this off List; please feel free to contact

me. If you're interested, I'll call Tom's wife and ask her where

the new books are sold.

Meg
