When I first went on the candida diet I felt wonderful after getting rid of most of the die off...and now realize it was mostly because I was eating totally natural foods. No eating out and no packaged food....absolutely nothing processed, everything was cooked by me or came right out of the ground. Oh, except for the odd can of beans ...when I didn't have time to do the soaking.

And that was the best I felt until I got the mercury out. Since then I have relaxed my diet and I do eat some processed foods, but the closer I eat to nature, the better I feel. And no sugar or no alcohol. I had a few treats and drinks this past holiday season and got away with it, but I am starting to feel the effects and have to get back on track. The isolation, depression, anxiety, resentment are all easing their way back into my moods. Honest to God, it is scarey to think that I might go back there. So I am making my flax muffins as I write.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />, no more butter tarts or shortbread, even though they are made with rice flour, they still had sugar...and that stuff is poision for everyone, not just us mercury toxic.

Try and stick as close to possible to the Maker's diet and I am betting you will see huge gains. We are so sensitive from the mercury, every little bit of toxins slowly accummulate in our liver. Just give it a shot and see if it doesn't help.

Best luck and Happy New Year to all!!!
