Guest guest Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 > > Hi Bee, > > My name is and I began following your program in July. It's been a slow process, but I have seen positive results already. The diet has not been difficult since I was already taking coconut oil and eating a fairly NT diet. It did take me awhile to get all the supplements, though, and it is just this past week that I have been taking all of them. That has made a big difference! My energy is increasing and my muscle and joint pain is decreasing. ++Hi . That's wonderful you are making such good progress on my program. Good for you! > > My question is about food reactions. I was very happy to hear that we cannot be allergic to good foods, but I am interested in more details. For years I have gotten migraines from exposure to any peanut products. Then, in the spring of 2007 I began reacting to all nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant). If I eat any of them, I break out in a rash and have breathing trouble. Also, three of my six children have problems with dairy - rashes for two of them, vomiting for the other. I am hopeful now that we can overcome these issues! Why, though, do we react this way? I know the candida is at the heart of it, but would you please share some details or point me to the correct articles? Thanks! +++When I write about food reactions, I make it clear that only " unadulterated " foods do not cause bad reactions, illnesses, etc., but good unadulterated foods will and can cause healing reactions because they help the body heal itself. +++Peanuts are not an " unadulterated " food since they are all genetically modified and contain mycotoxins (fungal-type toxins). +++Any vegetables that aren't " organic " or " certified organic " contain high levels of pesticides, so they wouldn't be unadulterated either, and people will react to such poisons, particularly if they have candida and a depressed immune system. +++The nightshade family contains medicinal substances; mainly nicotine (solanine) which is antifungal. We know antifungals kill off candida, which in turn produces more toxins, and those toxins are released through the skin, causing rashes, etc. Nicotine (solanine) are also helpful for lung problems/asthma so breathing problems could intensify because of healing reactions. +++If your kids have candida they will react to the lactose (sugar) in dairy products (all except butter) since it feeds candida. The rule about lactose is: " The higher the butterfat content the lower the lactose, " so that's why butter is fine for people with candida. Some people also cannot break down milk proteins in butter, but they can have ghee which has the proteins removed. > Looking forward to salsa again! +++When you react to good unadulterated foods, in order to be able to tolerate the healing/die-off reactions you would start with small amounts, and only gradually increase them.
