He did Xrays to find lots of reason to be adjusting my neck and back which seem to have been subluxated for a while causing problems to the nervous system. In addition, the chiropractor has also studied and is certified in nutrition. He did a physical muscle test along with some blood work and figured out the following: > > 1.

What is your opinion on getting rid of parasites? +++Yes the candida program will be very helpful to you. This program isn't just for candida, it is a healing program that improves anyone's health. That is because the only way to heal and improve health is by giving your body " proper nutrients " which help it heal itself naturally. This program will eliminate parasites too, and the first antifungal I recommend is unrefined coconut oil which is also antiparasitic, antibacterial, antiviral, etc. > 4.

That's good the chiropractor has helped her. It would be wise to have her do this program too - see Candida Treatments for Babies & Children: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/baby.php The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Peace, thanks Bee for your prompt response. I had follow up questions to all of the following : +++The only way to confirm parasites is to have a stool test done. when i asked my chiro about this he said that the stool test can only detect parasites if they exist in the digestive tract but the blood test can detect their presence else where in the body. what do u think? what is your cure for parasites? > +++You won't need protease to kill parasites; you need Betaine > hydrochloric acid (HCL). When there is enough in the contents > emptying out of the stomach it triggers the pancreas to produce > enzymes such as protease. It is better to get your pancreas to do > its job. - Will the HCL actually help get rid of parasites which implies that protease would infact break down the parasites if it is being directed at the parasites by taking it in between meals instead of protease being used to break down the protein in the food that is being digested? when i asked my chiro about this, he said that his approach is to give the pancreas a break by providing the enzymes until sufficient healing occurs. And when the healing has occurred, the pancreas should be able to produce sufficiently on its own without being stimulated. He felt that its too aggressive to stimulate/push the pancreas when it is not doing its natural job correctly in the first place. > > 3. Breathing exercises to increase the level of CO2 to encourage > > optimal digestion esp of protein. whats your insight on breathing exercises? +++Yes the candida program will be very helpful to you.

This program will eliminate parasites too, and the first antifungal I recommend is unrefined coconut oil which is also antiparasitic, antibacterial, antiviral, etc. To accept that this is a general healing diet, it seems that I would have to believe that proper nutrients for the body include an complete absence of grains, fruit, nuts and legumes with a strong emphasis on meat. It would be helpful Bee for me to have some proof to back this up. Traditionally, in my culture grains, nuts and legumes were prepared properly like nourishing traditions encourages. And meat was considered a 'topping' or an exciting treat once in a while offered on special occasions or when guests visited out of hospitality. Also, strong spiritual cultures correlate an over emphasis on meat as a 'hardening of the heart'. Traditional cooking can mean so many different things as there are so many different cultures around the world that have completely opposite practises depending on their contextual weather and environmental conditions/needs. So as much as I innately value my own traditional method of cooking, I wonder what the definition of traditional cooking is and can it really be applied as 'one size fits all' principles for all human beings across the world? The other way we in the west are used to qualifying someone's advice on a particular subject is by checking their degrees and certifications. I dont believe this is the absolute decision maker yet it does show effort and dedication in a particular scope. From what I have read on your website, it seems that your advice is coming from personal experiential life changing cure. I do find this very inspiring, however, i still wonder if the experiential knowledge is grounded enough to be applied as a 'one size fits all' method. I'm asking all of this out of my ignorance and with all due respect so please dont take offense. Looking fwd to learning. peace, Sana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what kind were the parasites? However, it is rare for parasites to exist in areas other than the digestive tract and most people who have candida don't had parasites. Actually my program cures parasites along with candida since all of the antifungals are also antiparasitic. Besides you only get parasites if your body is run down and in very poor condition. As your immune system builds up it will eliminate the parasites naturally. > > > +++You won't need protease to kill parasites; you need Betaine > > hydrochloric acid (HCL).

Most candida sufferers have low stomach acid, and it does kill parasites. Antifungals break down parasites as well as bacteria and candida. > > when i asked my chiro about this, he said that his approach is to give the pancreas a break by providing the enzymes until sufficient healing occurs. And when the healing has occurred, the pancreas should be able to produce sufficiently on its own without being stimulated. He felt that its too aggressive to stimulate/push the pancreas when it is not doing its natural job correctly in the first place. +++You don't know for sure you pancreas isn't working properly, and if you bypass it by providing enzymes it should produce since it causes other problems. One is if your pancreas isn't make to work it also won't produce enough baking soda to make the contents of the stomach alkaline. The contents must be made alkaline in order to be properly digested in the intestines. It is impossible to take baking soda and get it into the exact area (the duodenum) along with stomach contents that the body requires. > > > > 3. Breathing exercises to increase the level of CO2 to encourage > > > optimal digestion esp of protein. > > whats your insight on breathing exercises? +++There's breathing exercises on my website, but I don't think it is as important as other things for digestion - see Improving Digestion in " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " on my website. Besides that meats, eggs and good fats are the very easiest foods for the body to digest compared to any carbs. > +++Yes the candida program will be very helpful to you. This program isn't just for candida, it is a healing program that improves anyone's health. That is because the only way to heal and improve health is by giving your body " proper nutrients " which help it heal itself naturally.

That's why the Eskimos were particularly healthy, even free of tooth cavities, on an all meat and fat diet. There are 4 members of this group who are now on an all meat and fat diet, with no carbs, and they are doing very well. All carbs feed candida, but for most people it is impractical to eliminate them all. Also see this information about carbs: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu3_2_1.php > > It would be helpful Bee for me to have some proof to back this up. > Traditionally, in my culture grains, nuts and legumes were prepared > properly like nourishing traditions encourages.

Also, > strong spiritual cultures correlate an over emphasis on meat as a > 'hardening of the heart'. +++If you are familiar with Nourishing Traditions written by Sally Fallon (founder of WAPF) you should read all about what causes heart disease and about the myths and truths about beef, etc. at the Weston A. Price Foundation: www.westonaprice.org > > Traditional cooking can mean so many different things as there are so many different cultures around the world that have completely opposite practises depending on their contextual weather and environmental conditions/needs. So as much as I innately value my own traditional method of cooking, I wonder what the definition of traditional cooking is and can it really be applied as 'one size fits all' principles for all human beings across the world? +++Yes, one size does fit all when it comes to nutrition required by human bodies. Dr. Weston A. Price writes in his book " Nutrition & Physical Degeneration: " We humans have the same rigid restrictions regarding food selection as the simpler forms of life when foods are evaluated from their chemical basis. " And he writes: " Also, it is not necessary to adopt the foods of any particular racial stock, but only to make our nutrition adequate in all its nutritive factors to the primitive nutrition. Tooth decay is not only unnecessary, but an indication of our divergence from Nature's fundamental laws of life and health.
