Bee, Please give me some help here...

December 21, 2006

Bee, thanks for all your help. I understand about estrogen a little more now and

hot flashes. It just probably gets worse before better. And it is probably not

just your diet plan that makes my hot flashes worse. It is probably the little

cheats i do now and then. My own fault. I guess I feel Debby really understands

what its like to have such terrible cravings for sugar and food addictions.

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. Val
