Candida

[Guest guest]

I am by no means saying supplement with it. But, if you come down with symptoms

of flu or cold or other viral infections, it works great to kill the

virus/bacteria. They also use silver in hospitals on burns to kill infection.

They're certainly not the only ones warning against it.

 

 

 

And hey, between the silver cutlery (though I doubt mine is)

 

and the mercury fillings, who needs to supplement with it?!

Hey,

thanks for picking up on this Marsh. I agree with all you've

stated including the nonsense paraded as fact on

QuackWatch.con

 

well, I don't need quacks to watch over me, I'm doing fine

so far!

 

Silver is an excellent *natural* aid to health. If nature

can provide substances that make us ill or kill us, then

she can also provide us with substances that help to make

us well. Silver is a mineral and as such is provided by

nature. Maybe the tiny amounts that we would get from a

fully mineralised diet would have been sufficient long ago,

but we live in a toxic world now, one that did not exist

during our early physiological development and it poses

more and greater and new threats to health. To ignore that

threat and the possible natural solutions is IMO, foolish.

 

hehe, I know foolish! LOL

I think I missed a few posts here, but the word " Candida " struck my

eye, and I thought I would add my 2 cents.

I had a terrible case of Candida a few months ago.

Candida albicans is naturally found in your intestines and is

necessary for proper balance and body functions. However, when the

populations get out of control, then you start having problems.

Candida is there to keep your blood sugar under control when your

other systems (pancreas and adrenal glands) which keep your blood

sugar in check have been overwhelmed. The candida feed off the sugar

to get your blood sugar to drop or else you risk some very serious

consequences! So they are actually life savers.

Many times you will hear that you should not eat fruit sugars. This is

a misunderstanding because people think that fresh fruit sugars are

the same as refined sugars and starch sugars. They are NOT. In fact,

they digest completely different.

There are a few things that can affect blood sugar: too much fat in

the diet, too much refined foods (starches and refined sugars), or

chronic stress to name the most prevalent.

I got over my Candida by doing a fruit and vegetable diet and by

cutting out the grains. Worked like a charm in about a week. (I did

avoid DRIED fruits like raisins and dates because I found they were

too concentrated and, lacking the natural balance of water/mineral

intake, caused some issues)

The life cycle of Candida can be measured in HOURS instead of days,

and you can get the population under control in less than a week (At

the MOST 2 weeks in SEVERE cases) if you focus on the blood sugar

issue, rather than trying to kill off a mushrooming Candida

population. You want to get to the source of the problem, not jsut the

symptoms.

Stress causes your blood sugar to skyrocket, so that is one starting

point. Cutting out fried foods and high fatty foods is the next point,

along with the refined No-nos. Every time I would eat grains during

that period, I would get thrush back in my mouth (symptom of Candida

overgrowth).

Just a few things to mentally chew on.

My very first diet reformation twenty years ago was to get the Candida under

control: I stopped eating ALL sugar and refined flour products. It was truly

marvelous how quickly I felt better. It was indeed only a matter of hours

before I noticed a significant difference. By the end of the week, I was a

whole different person.

 

Now, when I say *ALL* sugar, I mean that. I stopped using even commercially

prepared foods that had hidden sugar (ex., canned goods, even ketchup), no

breads or baked good with any sugar. No refined white flour was probably also a

benefit since it was a sudden reduction in wheat and gluten bearing foods too!

Wouldn't it be great if there were a cruise that had nothing but food we can eat

where we could eat and relax and cruise the med or the carib?

Just wondering: How do you know you have an overgrowth of candida?

Thanks in advance,

Amanda,

You really don't have to soak the lentils to make a fabulous dal. It may take a

bit longer to cook and a bit more water, but it will turn out fine if you don't

soak first.

Hi Pam,Sorry it's taken me a while to respond - things have been crazy lately

andon top of which I got 5 migraines in a week (last week)! I don't know if

itwas due to de-toxing or some bug going round as many people I know also

gotreally bad migraines. I used to get migraines for about 3 weeks out ofevery 4

but when I started following a much healthier diet they went away.I feel much

better now, whatever it was.Thank you for taking the trouble to give me some

great advice - are you anutritionist? I didn't give you the whole picture,

because I didn't want tosound like woe-is-me victim-mode, but it seems that I

also have a Candidaovergrowth so fruit (and mushrooms)are mostly out and I

recently got arash/eczema on my face which I think may be attributed to citrus

because Iwas juicing to oranges a day and eating a few satsumas a day. By the

way,not many fruits were tested so maybe I'm right about suspecting citrus -

therash has started to clear up now that

I've stopped the citrus so it could bethat, but I'm not 100% sure.I'm really

struggling to give up onions as I cook with them in just aboutevery dish. Garlic

is used a lot in restaurants here so I'll also have tobe careful there. But I

love curries, so thanks for the tip on the HareKrishna recipes - I had no idea

that you could make curries without onionsand garlic (and ginger)! I must start

getting used to making dhals -trouble is, I forget to soak the lentils or

whatever and now it's time tocook and they're not soaked! Need to get better

organised... ;o)The flours we have available here are rice, soya, potato, rye

and chickpeaflour which I find is too grainy. I can't do much baking as I don't

have anoven - long story, we started renovating, ran out of money and don't want

toborrow more because of the economic climate and DH might be out of a job

inJan. I could try and do some at a friend's house, but haven't had time asyet

to get there. Once again,

thanks for your help - it's much appreciated. Amanda___ _________ _________

_________ _________ _________ _________ Other than garlic, they are all level

1's and 2's, so you willprobably want to avoid the 2's and rotate the 1's (only

have each onceevery four days). Rather than cutting out all nuts but almonds,

Iwould cut out all nuts but cashews, and only have them on a rotatingbasis.

Looks like you're pretty good for fruits, you only have toavoid/rotate apples. I

avoid apples and pears as well due to theirhigh fructose level. It's not too

bad, there are lots of other fruitsaround to choose from.For veggies, I would

miss the onions and garlic for sure. You can putlots of things in a salad other

than courgettes and sweet peppers, butonion is used in so many soups, stews,

sauces, and dressings. I wouldsuggest looking at Hare Krishna recipes, which are

veggie (watch outfor yogurt, though) and don't use garlic and

onion.<http://www.harekrsn a.com/practice/

prasadam/ recipes/recipes. htm>http://www.harekrsn a.com/practice/ prasadam/

recipes/recipes. htmLooks like you are okay for legumes other than peas, soya

and peanut.Bean soups, dips, spreads, beans on salad, baked beans, chili,

curry,dals, etc. are all options. There are lots of recipes for beanburgers,

meatloaf, etc. if you go for that sort of thing. I submushrooms a lot in things

that I would normally use tofu in (we arenot soy-free, but I try to limit it.)

Some are still able to use soyoil and soy lecithin even when they react to soy

protein, so you canprobably use those at least on rotation, since soy is only a

1.For grains/pseudograins /starches you can probably use millet andquinoa in

rotation if you want. Otherwise, you still have rice, corn,sorghum, buckwheat,

amaranth, teff, mesquite, tapioca, potato, etc.,which is a pretty good range for

baking when you feel you're up to it.For nuts and seeds you might want to look

at pumpkin and squash

seeds,cantaloupe seeds, hemp nuts, flax seed, chia, brazil nuts,

coconut,walnuts, pecans, etc. There are still some good options there,provided

that cross-contamination is kept at a minimum, and you willprobably want to

rotate just to be safe.Got to run for now, but maybe that will spark some ideas

for a start!Pam[Non- text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi Mary;

 

For myself, I simply began the candida control diet to see

if it would help me feel better, and observed such an

improvement, I assumed that it had been an issue.
