Labiba, Is your question because of the thin scoby culture on top?

It is very normal that a first brew only has a thin culture on top.

You can brew with both cultures, mother and baby (however thin) and add

some of the brewed acidic Kombucha when you make a new brew.

This will help it to get stronger.

What does your new Kombucha Tea taste like?

Does it taste nice?

If 'yes' you are doing well!

Hi le

I have been there if it is a help to you. The pain and hunger. Then we have

pleading children too. It's a journey that we must go through though you can

minimize symptoms. I would resist the meds as they take the pain away, (cover up

is a better term) and then it comes back and the meds reduce your body's

strength.

Stay the course.

+++Hi le. It will take longer than 2 days for your body to recover from

your vacation.

+++No, do not use any kind of drug, since they are very poisonous to your body.

Only use natural pain killers such as White Willow Bark (available at the health

store; follow directions on the label), or use oil of oregano mixed 50/50 with

olive or coconut oil and apply it directly to your hips and tail bone.

Remember if you've ever had hip and tailbone pain in the past your body will

also be retracing them during the healing process.

Also ensure you are taking the correct amounts, and the correct kinds of calcium

and magnesium citrate, since you can also get bone pains from an imbalance, etc.

Also ensure you are taking all of the supplements since all nutrients work

together, i.e. cod liver oil contains vitamin A and D that work together, and

vitamin D is critical for absorption of calcium and other minerals.

Since you are having such a rough time of it I think you need to do the 9-Day

I'm new. Is everyone as weak as me? Also does anyone also suffer from

hashimoto's and once your candida get's better can u stop taking thyroid meds.

Hi Jeanne. Welcome to our group. Yes, all candida sufferers are weak, and most

have thyroid problems like hashimoto's. Yes you can go off of thyroid meds on

this program like many other members of this group have, since your thyroid will

recover and be normal. I have advised many people how to do that, and when to

start getting tested every month to 6 weeks.

But first things first. Please ensure you read two important articles so you

understand candida, and know what you need to do and why:

1) How to Successfully Overcome Candida

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php

2) Curing Candida, How to Get Started

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php

For encouragement and inspiration see these wonderful Success Stories by members

of this group: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/success/index.php

The best in health, Bee

Hi Jeanne,

I can relate. You are not alone. I am really weak too, and have hypothyroid.

I am unable to work and have to spend a lot of time resting. My legs sometimes

feel so heavy it is almost impossible to walk up the stairs. But, many here

have experienced this and improved significantly with Bee's help. It might get

worse before it gets better, but stay focused and stick with it!

Blessings,

Marcie

Hi Jeanne:

***Welcome. Yes, we've all been there in some form or other. The die-off,

detoxing and switching our bodies over to running on fats can be rough for some.

But it will get better. You will also have days of great energy and mental

clarity that will give you a peek into how you will feel once you heal.

Sometimes reading the success stories can really help through this period.

Plus, the coffee enemas really help along with the epsom salt baths and the

dry-skin brushing.

>Also does anyone also suffer from hashimoto's and once your candida get's

*** Yes, lot's of folks on this board have thyroid issues, and I came here

having Hashimoto's and Adrenal Fatigue. I no longer take any thyroid meds or

any of the other pills I was prescribed. I have several posts in the success

stories that I wrote at various times in my healing that might interest you.

All the best,

Thanks for the reply. It has gotton worse before better that is why I am so

scared. It's like I'm going down-hill, but I'm not on all the supplements yet so

maybe that is the problem.

Hi Jeanne,

Getting on the supplements will help to support your body as it heals, so it's

important to get on them as soon as you can.

With natural healing, some things *do* get worse before they get better. I

found that being aware of this helps us to be less fearful.

I often experience weakness, too. For me, I feel almost as though my muscles can

contract enough. I've also experienced a lot of fatigue - in the past and

during my healing. It's all part of the process of healing, so I just do my

best to rest as much as I can.

Hi Jeanne,

You aren't going downhill, but you will get worse before you get better because

of how the body heals itself naturally. It is important you also take the

supplements since diet plus supplements work together.

In fact the dis-ease processes are exactly the same as the healing processes,

with the only difference being that when you are on a healthy program like this

one you are now progressing towards health rather than becoming more and more

unhealthy.

The medical field takes advantage of the dis-ease process by labelling each and

every " sign " (which they claim are individual symptoms or diseases), instead of

calling them what they actually are, i.e. " signs " the body is working hard at

maintaining its health in spite of poor nutrition, toxins, etc. That's why they

deny the body can heal itself.

God didn't make any stupid bodies, but we must treat them the way Nature

intended by comsuming " proper nutrients " and by eliminating toxins and damaging

foods.

Hi Jeanne,

I sent you a lengthy reply yesterday but it has not appeared for some reason, so

I will try again. I have experience with improving both weakness and Hashimotos,

which I'm happy to say. It's been a very bumpy road, however.

I've been on the diet eight months and felt much better for the first two months

with less achiness, fatigue, and more energy. I had my thyroid tested every

eight weeks as Bee recommends and my T3 came back high out of range in October.

Since I take a sustained T3 compound, I was excited to lower it by a third.

Around that time I also got a bad sinus thing and became very weak. My fingers

also got almost too stiff to type (a bad thing since I'm a writer). I kicked the

sinus thing naturally but the weakness got worse until I didn't feel I could

drive my manual shift car or do errands. I could barely hold on to the steering

wheel! This was very scary. I got anxious and depressed...especially since it

went on (not always to that degree but sometimes) for four months.

I suppose many would've given up on the diet, but I didn't really have any other

options havine been to every docotr in the past like everyone else on this

board, so I persevered.

My doctor talked me back into raising my thyroid meds back up and re-testing

again in eight weeks. Didn't help the weakness. Just re-tested and T3 is once

again high so now I've lowered them and they will stay lower. No question that

this diet has helped me need less thyroid medication and I look forward to

geting off it completely.

I finally turned the corner just a few weaks ago. I think my prolonged weakness

had mainly to do with not consuming enough good fats when I took out all my

carbs. I'd been stuck at 2 T. CO oil all that time because I'd get extreme

die-off symptoms when I tried to increase. Finally with Bee's support and that

of a local friend on the diet who's getting great results, I decided to push

through getting my CO up, increasing every four days. In just a few weeks I

easily got up to 4 T 1 t. where I'm staying for a bit as a deal with die-off

headaches that will hopefully go away soon.

Besides the die-off issues, another barrier for me was getting over my aversion

to fats and taste of CO! I bought two kinds of CO: the coconut flavor one for my

egg drink and the kind with no flavor for everything else. Since I don't like my

food too greasy, I just mix a tablespoon or whatever I need in 2-3 ounces of

water and drink it after meals. This works great for me as I don't even taste

it.

To make this easy, I also keep a glass jar of each in a cooking pot on my

counter with a light bulb inside so the CO stays melted. (Or you could keep CO

in an oven w/a pilot light if you have one!)

During all my REALLY discouraging days, I'd often go onto Bee's website and read

my own success stories posted there to remind myself that " yes, I really did

feel that way! " That helped me stay motivated. Recently, I just had a most

amazing 10 days of extreme mental clarity, feeling nearly normal physically. It

was such a gift! I've started taking walks again and even bought a mini

trampoline rebounder! My fingers are still stiff, but not nearly as much. Of

course now my body is stronger and back to doing the work of detoxing, but I am

hanging in there with my headache and nausea. Hopefully I'm over the hardest

part!

Hang in there,

Chris

Hi Jeanne:

You were sent all the information to get started on Bee's diet, including the

supplement information. I'll post them here for you again.

It's important for you to read this information so that you understand how this

diet works and why. Even though we have a great support system here, it is

still a self-help program which requires you to be responsible for your

healing... with a lot of loving support, of course.

Read these articles and then get back to us with your questions.

1) How to Successfully Overcome Candida

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php

2) Curing Candida, How to Get Started

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php

The only way to cure candida:

Candida cannot be cured by " killing it off. " It just doesn't work that way.

Candida is only cured by building up the immune system, which is done by:

1) Consuming " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements),

2) Eliminating toxins and foods that feed candida (they also feed bacteria and

cancer),

3) Eliminating damaging foods, and

4) Eliminating toxins in general.

When the immune system is strong enough it will automatically " make " candida (or

any bug, cancer, etc.) change back into the microbe it was before.

I quess I over did it yesterday. I had to go just 10 miles from here & pick up

my truck ( finally fixed-took 8 freakin' weeks). I made veg soup in the crock

pot. That required prepping the meat and veggies. And I made chicken salad for

our lunch today. By the time I was making the chic salad I was definately done

for, but I had to finish what I had started.

Went to eat the soup & cornbread for supper; I have NEVER had my jaws just

hurt and clamp shut, kinda. I hurt that " weak/tired " hurt to hold myhead up,

and raising the spoon to my mouth was too hard. Drat! I really like my soup.

Gonna divide and freeze the soup today. Was too spent to mess with it tonite.

Don I know you're gonna fuss at me for overdoing AGAIN. I also know I am

hardheaded. I have always been so active, indoors and out, it is hard to

recognize and accept my limitations. The limits are down to nothing !
