+++Hi . No, it isn't okay to get drunk if you want to get well.

Yep, I know it may be tough for some people but I think it's a

general truth that alcohol and health do not mix well...

It's not always easy due to the social custom of drinking alcohol for

any given reason. I find it hard at home and when I go out as a

student. Everyone says " you don't want a drink??? " and you either

have to start explaining why you don't drink or you have to lie and

say that you are not thirsty during the entire party. As student

parties are mostly about drinking alcohol and smoking weed, I simply

tend to avoid them now. Even though it is a bit detrimental to my

relationship with my friends.

.

PS: by the way, people used to call me " Beerminator " and I guess it

has something to do with my being here right now fighting off

Candida. So I wouldn't recommend developing such a nickname!!!

+++Hi . " Beerminator? " You make me laugh! I have never been

much of a drinker, and when I had ulcer attacks I never drank.

Someone at a party would ask " what are you drinking? " I'd

reply " nothing, don't you wish you were sober? " LOL! I could get

high on life without any alcohol!

Maybe in the college setting the thing to do is drink alcohol. But a

local pub that has a lot of music at nights here has a wide assortment of

non-alcoholic drinks available including all sorts of teas and

apple, pineapple, cranberry juice, etc. There are always quite a few

people in there drinking non-alcoholic drinks.

From the standpoint of controlling candida, alcohol is turned into sugars

in the body when it's broken down. So it will just feed candida.

Lol... I've got the same since a few months. As I feel drunk without

drinking and wake up with a hang over no matter what I do the day

before, I wish I were sober rather than drunk at parties :-D.

Hi, , et. al!

Thanks for replying to my frantic message!

Have your cravings for alcohol disappeared on the diet? I'm trying to

reassure someone that this will happen, as I know that my cravings for

sugar go away when on the diet. But, this person won't take my word,

as, according to him, " alcoholism is completely different than

sugarholism. " Your thoughts?

Thanks,

I was the same way. That's why you are a " Yeastinator " now. I

don't drink much any more though. Just if I go on vacation, or am

camping in the summer.

The physical cravings went away for me. After awhile the metal cravings

are very small. They are only triggered in situations that I used to

drink. For example, relaxing in our camper is sure good with a nice big

glass of wine. Saturday nights on the deck was sure good with wine.

Going to a restaurant needed wine. Cooking for a crowd was nice with

wine. For the most part I don't hang around anyone who drinks much.

That is a help. For me the candida didn't care if the sugar came from

alcohol or food. It switched up on me and I craved something else after

it knew I would not drink anymore. For me it got to the point where

alcohol caused me to feel like death. I didn't know why at the time,

however, I knew that my body felt relieved when I had it. That was the

candida. I still think many people who battle alcohol problems would

benefit from this program.

My husband was drinking vine almost every day. Recently I told him

that I am not going to tolerate it anymore.

He searched info about help from addiction and found it on-line. It is

Kudzu supplement in high doses. He is taking it for about 8 weeks and

now he don`t drink. When he tried to drink vine at the party he felt

very drunk from small dose. It increased sensitivity and reduce

cravings for alcohol.

In my book Prescription for Herbal Healing I have red that Kudzu used

to stimulate genes that fight cancer.Probably it is fine to take it

with candida too.

**** Hmmm. I wonder. Isn't Kudzu a starch? It may be very high glycemically,

and then not

good for Candida program. Anyone know for sure?

Not sure about Kudzu, Marissa, but just wanted to mention that my own

husband seems to be doing much better after having increased his fat

intake. It seems that good fats really do eliminate cravings. (Worked

for me and sugar cravings, as well.)
