I am on a yeast forum trying to get the message across about the mercury/yeast connection and we have a started a thread there for some good candida safe recipes and I want to share them with you. Doing a gluten/dairy/sugar free diet is crucial to effectively detox from mercury. Contributions and menu ideas welcome!!!

This one is like a harbour in a storm for me, got me thru many severe cravings.


PUMPKIN MUFFINS with lots of fibre
no dairy, no sugar, no gluten

3-4 T organic olive oil
3 large eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin, (I use mashed sweet potato or yams, the orange fleshed ones)
Beat these 3 ingredients together, and then add:
3 tsp. stevia dissolved in 1/4c of water
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Mix the following together and add to the above:

2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup ground flaxseed meal (make sure this is as fresh as possible)
1/4 cup amaranth (or your preferred) flour
4 oz. chopped nuts (optional)

Mix all ingredients together quickly and immediately spoon into muffin pan/papers. Mixture will start to expand as lemon juice reacts with baking powder and soda. Bake at 350º for 20 mins. This recipe makes 12 muffins; however, you may also double the recipe and get 18-20 larger size muffins.

Top with a whole pecan for a nice presentation.

Good luck! Enjoy....
