Unfortunately Sunshine, my wise words were only after doing so many stupid things that I finally "had" to find some other way. I'm one of those people that never learn or wise up, until I get hurt enough times. Even with advice given, I'm prone to taking risks and doing it myself to find out later (sader but wiser).... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sadblownose.gif" alt="" /> At least you are doing research before hand, I did anything and everything that came my way without ever really going into it. Pain is a great motivator and teacher <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, the Weston Price way of eating has proved the most suitable for me. I looked him up on the net after hearing about him on a candida forum and was very impressed. I'd go check him out on here. This guy has REALLY researched and studied the healthiest cultures all around the world and what they all eat. And put it altogether and in all honesty, it was basically natural foods, natural fats, mostly in their natural state. Very logical. Due to following his diet, I found my body began to absorb more nutrients and I filled out more. Before that? I had become very very slender. Not anorexic, but not a healthy weight by any means. I did not gain an appetite and my skin was worse than it is now. I also did not seem to have a flow of saliva as much. His diet with the fats included, seemed to enable me to fill out physically to a more normal weight, more saliva flow, and I assume better bile flow, better skin etc.

A bit like being overweight, both to me are signs of malnutrition/imbalance. I've been both in my life and know how it feels to be both chubby or too skinny. Though the overweight problem was improved by candida diet, it was never solved until amalgam removal.

My weight loss was just through too much sickness, virus, dental work etc and candida again. So, this diet helped me gain back appetite, absorb nutrients again and then gained some healthy weight.

Takes time though.
