+++Hi there. Welcome to our group. What is your name please?

+++Virgin coconut oil isn't necessarily different than Extra Virgin

or others either, since those terms are not regulated.

+++I couldn't find, on either of those websites, the statement that

their coconut oil was actually unrefined, undeodorized, and

unbleached, which are extremely important - maybe you have the time

to find it. If it isn't there, I recommend you write to both

companies and ask them specifically, so that others on this group,

and I, can feel secure.

Hello Bee,

Thank you for responding. I believe seeing the sites stating them, I

can't remember and I haven't looked through them.

However, I found Omega Nutrition locally so I'm good with the coconut

oil for now.

I'm trying to get Blue Ice Cod Liver Oil now.

I was looking through the recipes and the no-no foods and I saw

" almonds " on the not allowed list and I see in the recipes an icon

that it's safe for Candida diet. It's stated as " almond flour " in

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/recipe184.php

You mentioned in a couple posts not to be worried about weight loss.

I've had Interstitial Cystitis (IC) for more than 6 years and I've

been on the underweight side and loss weight due to IC diet and

followed by a little of Candida diet since I was/am doing antibiotics.

I started losing more weight and I don't gain back easily and haven't

in years even before I was ill.

I'm really underweight now and I'm close to being dangerously

underweight and it indeed is a problem which worries. I'm 75lbs and I

was 82lbs two months and I have not even followed this diet.

I think Vitamin C is very important too. But, you mentioned taking

Vitamin C which is absorbic acid which IC patients can't take because

of high acidity levels. And, you mentioned also taking them in high

doses. That's worrisome and scary to say the least, I'm scared for my

bladder. We're suggested to take Ester-C which you don't encourage, so

how should one go about it?

And, do address me by my username, Vampireness, thank you.

+++I don't recommend taking Ester-C - see this article:

+++Vitamin C wouldn't influence the level of pH (acidity) in your

urinary system, since the body regulates it very carefully at certain

levels. Start at low doses of vitamin C - take the tablets I

recommend rather than ascorbic acid - and slowly increase them.

Hello Bee,

Thank you for responding and no problem about pointing it out.

I have a couple questions. You mentioned about the Vitamin C you

suggested, any specific brand or something I should look for?

I have read the Ester C article previosuly.

I have looked through your daily menu and it states egg drink being

the only breakfast, am I right?

The other thing is, I read someone mentioning they take 8 eggs a day?

Is this healthy? I mean, there is high choloestrol level to be worried

about?

I'm thinking about trying out the parsley tea.

Thank you.

+++You can eat anything on the Candida Diet for breakfast you wish.

The egg drink is fast, easy and is a great way to start on good fats

since the recipe can be adjusted, starting with 1 egg or 1 egg yolk

if eggs cause healing reactions. Eggs contain sulphur which is

antifungal so many people have to start with small amounts and

gradually increase them to minimize die-off/healing reactions.

Hello Bee,

I meant no problem to you saying thank you for pointing out the almond

recipe that you corrected. And, please do address me by my username,

Vampireness, I think I mentioned that previously =).

I'm looking about these two brands but they're not easy to get. I came

across this one, but I'm not sure of the quality.

http://www.natures-glory.com/searchresult_details.asp?ProductSID=321

What do you think?

The egg isn't making me feel full, just one egg so far is like

drinking nothing and I'm starving all the way till lunch and continue

starving till dinner.

I'll take a look at the choloestrol articles. And, one person's body

isn't the same as another, that concerns me.

I'm aware of the parsley, you previously suggested it to me and I just

mentioned I'll look into it =).

The other thing is the fish oil need, can I use Carlson's Super Omega

fish oil capsules for the Vitamin A along with the Cod Liver Oil? Is

that the right one?

Vampireness

[Guest guest]

Oh and I forgot to ask, why are you suggesting Vitamin C crystals

instead of Vitamin C capsules or tablets themselves? Vitamin C

crystals seems like for those who are unable to take the other forms

of it.

increase eggs in the Egg Drink.

> isn't the same as another, that concerns me.

+++It isn't true that bodies are different as far as their

requirement for " proper nutrients. " Dr. Price writes this: " 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. "

+++All humans are exactly the same species.

> The other thing is the fish oil need, can I use Carlson's Super

Omega fish oil capsules for the Vitamin A along with the Cod Liver

Oil? Is that the right one?

+++Different brands of cod liver oil contains different nutrient

amounts of omega 3, and vitamins A & D, so whether you need to take

extra omega 3 from a separate products depends upon the brand of cod

liver oil you take.

+++You take fish oil plus vitamin A when you get enough vitamin D

from the sun; otherwise you take cod liver oil plus additional

nutrients depending upon nutrients levels in your brand - see this

+++That is an excellent ascorbic acid powder!

> >

+++You need to take capsules too, which contain bioflavonoids and

other substances that are also vitamin C - vitamin C isn't just

ascorbic acid.

>People who can't swallow capsules or tablets take powder, it's why I

had to ask, why the powder form was recommended.

+++Here's the instructions about vitamin C from my Supplements list:

" Buy a tablet that contains rosehips, citrus bioflavonoids,

hesperidin and rutin. Some vitamin C brands may not contain all of

these substances, which is fine. If you get loose stools (diarrhea)

taking 4,000 mg per day, start with less and gradually increase it.

Ascorbic acid powder or crystals are much less expensive to take than

vitamin C tablets. If you wish to take ascorbic acid, take 3,000 mg

per day and 1,000 mg vitamin C tablet, which is a total of 4,000 mg

vitamin C per day.

Because ascorbic acid can upset the stomach it is best to take it

with meals. Also it can be hard on the teeth, so rinse your mouth

well after drinking it.

Vitamin C Dose: Take 1,000 mg 4 times a day = 4,000 total per day.

Start with 500 mg twice a day and gradually increase it to avoid

getting loose stools. "

+++If a person cannot swallow pills they should crush up the vitamin

C tablets or grind them in a coffee grinder.

> > I read the articles on cholestrol. And, thank you for the

> explaination on humans being the same. I'll have to read up more on

that.

+++Good for you. My reference for humans being the same is Dr.

Weston A. Price's book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration -

available on my website through Amazon - what country do you live

in? I have 3 different Amazon links for 3 different countries.

awhile when you are first starting on this program - see this pancake

Thank you for the opinion on the asscorbic acid powder and capsules,

I'll get them.

I just meant that most times like ascorbic acid is sold in powder it's

for people who can't swallow, that's all. You however express the need

for the bioflavonoids etc and such, so I get it.

I'm really low on money that I'm eating food little as possible

because organic chicken costs S$70+, so I can't buy any books and am

struggling to afford supplements. I can find the book on Amazon if I

need it, thank you. I live in Singapore, so I'll have to use a program

to ship it over and it's extremly costly since Amazon doesn't ship

over here.

Protein: 55g

Fats: 137 - 192g

Carbs: 27 - 44g

I have a huge question and I really hope you can help me. Those

figures there, I find it difficult to calculate and meet the target

amount of food intake. Could you please give me an example on how much

food I'd consume using baked chicken, eggs and mashed cauliflower etc.

I usually eat two hard boiled eggs with ghee but I just don't know how

much ghee to meet that fats amount and I used to take just the egg

drink but it's not enough, like I mentioned. I don't think it'll

satisfy me even if I were to take two tablespoon of coconut oil.

You suggested buckwheat pancake or 1/2 cup of brown rice. How long did

you mean when you said " awhile " ? How will I know it's time to fully do

the diet? 1/2 cup of brown rice seems so little too.

About the fish oil and cod liver oil. I live in a hot country without

much of these season changes. It's either rain or shine so I can't

follow winter and summer etc. The other thing is that I don't go

anywhere so I'm not getting sun.

I have a question and I need a straight forward answer, please. I have

Bartonella and I'd like to know if this diet is going to help any. I

am trying to stop my antibiotics to do this but whenever I stop my

antibiotics apart from the Bartonella not getting treated. I have

suffered and am still suffering, 6 years of chronic UTIs so I risk the

fact that the infection can go to my kidneys when left untreated.

So, I have Interstitial cystisis, Bartonella and Yeast. Your program

is really helpful for those with just yeast problem, though yeast can

contribute to many other illnesses, I'm not sure about Bartonella and IC.

Please please don't suggest cranberry juice to anyone with IC, I've

read a previous post where the suggestion was made. We have very

sensitive bladders with pinpoint bleeding for some and just

inflammation in others and consuming cranberry increases the pain

immensely along with frequency and urge. Hence, why I'm very concerned

about acidic things like Vitamin C, my NP suggested buffered C and

even those were a problem because of our " wounds " getting " soaked " in

acid and that causes increase in symptoms.

Will this program and supplements help my other illnesses?

+++It is easy to calculate your foods on fitday.com; start by

entering the foods you ate yesterday, with quantities, etc. -

remember to substract the amount of fibres in vegetables from the

amount of carbs to get the correct carb count. Then you can see how

close you were to eating your ratios. Then you just need to increase

or decrease quantities of foods. I wouldn't have the time to

calculate everyone's foods, and what each person eats is so very

different. Also people here are from all over the World.
