Do you get a strong reaction to perfumes? That is a sign of aldehyde toxicity. Candida produces aldahydes. Are you very sensitive to bleach fumes? That me be a good clue that you have a candida problem.
I don't have a sensitivity or allergy to anything. I don't like strong scented stuff but as far as reactions to them or anything else, no, nothing. I also never get sick. I've probably had a stuffy nose or sore throat 2-3 times in the last ten years which will last a day at the most. That's what I don't really understand. If my immune system is suppose to be "weak" from all the metals I should get sick or have sensitivities. The only thing I seem to have a problem with as far as I can tell are the metals, big time. Significant neurological and endocrine disruptions. Maybe parasites or fungus. I guess I will find out when I get the parasite cleanse. I'm doing a one week bowel cleanse first though.
Some will tell you to give up fruit initially, then later add back a bit of lower sugar fruit like canteloupe and strawberries, but to still avoid grapes, oranges, figs, dates, and other very high sugar fruits.
I eat mostly apples, bananas and berries. Occasionally oranges, plums, kiwis and melons. Rarely grapes and mangos. Usually 1-4 servings a day.
I'll be going gluten free next week. Hopefully this helps my digestion which I think is sub-par. That and adding more cultured foods should help.
You can stimulate your adrenals by increasing your salt intake, and by taking licorice root. Carnitine is good for boosting energy, especially in those who eat little or no pork or beef. I think carnitine is helping me. I take 1,000 mg a day.
I've started adding a little sea salt to my food. I don't eat much processed food anymore and never added salt so I will see if this helps. But like I said before, I think the adrenal issue is the stimulation, not the glands themselves. I eat meats, mostly locally raised and grass-fed now so I guess I should be getting some carnitine from them already.
