Sugar is really bad for everyone, even minus a candida problem, I like xylitol a lot too. I am addicted to my oatmeal coconut oil chocolate chip cookies though. And i love a beer now and then maybe two so I get sugar from those two sources, but not much all said really, a few beers a week, some chocollate chips in the cookies.

Eat lots of fresh vegetables, salads. You can use a tad of lemon juice instead of vinegar in salads. Lemon juice may even help your body eliminate some heavy metals released during the cleanse process. We buy amish raised chicken athe grocery store, no chems or antibiotics.

Make sure you rinse and kosher (salt heavy for 20 minutes then rinse) any meats you buy, they spray them with viruses these days, supposedly keeps bacteria away but may not really be all that good to eat... probably dies when you cook it but I still like to kosher my meat, makes me feel better if only psychologically. I wouldn't eat organ meats, liver etc, can have lots of heavy metals etc because the cow's liver does the same thing yours does. Also, chicken fed with pesticide treated corn, and corn fed cows too... an ingredient in the pesticide is arsenic so yes, probably wise to stay away.

Most grocery stores these day do offer options for non-chem/non antibiotic fed meats. Costs maybe a dollar or two more but considering the fact you'll save lots more than that in doctor bills downline I'd say it's worth it.
