You mentioned that you were on a very specific diet. See the thing is, I don't trust candida diets and stuff like that. I used to post on the curezone forum, and the candida forum has so much questionable advice. Very few, if any, people cure their candida to the point where they can eat like a normal person. The main problem is that they don't notice that thier candida most often corolates to mercury poisoning, nor do they consider that their candida diet might be causing more harm than good.

Probably the only sound candida diet I have found is the SC diet because it actually provides sound nutrition. Conversely, the typical candida diet starves the individual in the name of starving candida. What about the food as medicine --what about the building blocks?? Diet is a double edged sword. On one hand, restriction takes the burdon off and allows your body to heal, but on the other hand, not providing your body with a balanced diet results in non-healing due to lack of building blocks. The typical candida diet, often times eliminating even meat/eggs et cetera, results in the individual getting worse. They start to develope allergies due to their restricted diet while the "experts" cheerlead that those are "detox symptoms." You can easily say anything is a detox symptom and get away with it!

So my point is this: The main medicine for the body is food. Restricting your diet may cause you to feel good at first, but prolonged restriction is starvation, and your body's ability to heal is compromised because it has no building blocks to work with. I read some new research (google it) about how people with peanut allergies were cured by administration of small doses of peanuts over time, gradually increasing the dose. The body gets allergies from eating too much of one food, and also not eating it at all, at least that's what I've been led to consider.

I ran into Russ saying how he's on 100 supplements. Okay, first off, I don't believe anyone can physically ingest 100 types of supplements unless they weight over 300 pounds. And second, even if they could, they would be doing more harm than good. The body takes supplements from food. You throw in the food, it does the rest. By supplementing, you are screwing everything up because you can't do half as good of a job compensating. The body is more intelligent than the mind. Instead of supplementing with selenium, brazil nuts are a far better choice. Fiber? Fruits. Beef contains loads and loads of minerals nad nutrients. Supplements are a waste of money, except for, baking soda, iodine and salt, and water. Also, epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) which is cheap.
