Hi Bee,

Since I joined a few weeks ago, I've been voraciously reading the

information on your site. Your candida information is more thorough

than anything I've seen yet. Very impressive. I have had - more than

once - lightbulbs going off while reading. So many things make sense

to me. You're not only thorough scientifically, but also intuitively!

I've had candida at least since I was a teenager (couldn't say exactly

when it started). I've known about it since 2000. I went on a diet at

that time to cleanse, but it was not very strict - some starches were

allowed. For years now, I've been struggling with it, feeling like I'm

losing the battle.

I am now on your diet. I've been able to jump right into it, as I had

already cut sugar and most carbs out years ago. I'd also already been

taking coconut oil (since June). I'm on week 3 and for the first time

ever on a candida diet, I feel optimistic that I can cure myself. I

feel better than I have in years.

I have tried to get as much information as I possibly can from your

site, but I still have a few questions:

Will I always have to take the vitamins? The chlorophyll?

Can I eventually get off my thyroid medication?

I am trying very hard to make sure I get enough fat according to the

" due body weight " calculations. Short of glugging oil straight out of

the frying pan that cooked my dinner, are there any foods that absorb

the fat easily - I'm finding a lot of it ends up on my plate and I

have to drink it - something I'm not too fond of.

I searched for information on what to do in the later phases of the

diet, but couldn't find anything.

How/when should I introduce carrots, squash and peas?

How about quinoa, amarynth the other seed-like flours?

Almonds, pine nuts or pecans?

Fruit? Is there one that I should introduce before the other?

Also, there is a new Canadian ionized sanitation system that

neutralizes pesticides, mold and bacteria on food.

Is it worthwhile looking into? Here's what their website says:

" You can also use lotus to infuse water in the included spray bottle

attachment and sanitize surfaces with one of the lotus microfiber

cleaning cloths also included with the system. Among many other

things, lotus activated water also removes stains, removes mold and

mildew and deodorizes. "

Sorry for all the questions! I've been so immersed in this diet that I

am full of them.

Once again, thank you so much for everything you've done to help us

candida sufferers. You are one in a million!

Annie
