Doing well on the diet!

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

I just wanted to let you know that I'm doing really well so far. I

am on the strict diet and have worked my way up to 4 tblsp of coconut

oil and pau d' arco 2 times a day without severe die off symptoms. I

was wondering if you thought I should still continue up to the 5.5

tblsp you recommended. If you will recall, I had posted before about

getting too thin and wondering if I need to take 6 tblsp of CO a

day. If you think I should could to increase, I will do so.

I also wanted to say that I am feeling really good on this diet.

When I started I was so fatigued and hungry all the time but I have a

lot more energy now and not feeling as hungry. I was also pretty

irritable and that's gotten better too. In addition to that, my

insomnia has cleared up. Now when I go to sleep at night I fall

asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. Also, if I wake up in the

middle of the night, I can go right back to sleep.

My skin looks great too. I don't have any blemishes and the two dry

red patches I had on both sides of my nose, have cleared up. I think

it was dermatitis or something but it's gone now.

After I had my second child, my skin was itching really bad every

day. It was almost painful because it felt like bee stings. Well

that's gone too, in fact, that cleared up right away once I started

the diet.

So far, I haven't gotten sick yet either (knock on wood). Last year,

I was sick more times than I had ever been in my whole life. I used

to hardly ever get sick but something changed after I had my

baby. And on that note, I have her on the diet too, as well as

homeopathics, and her eczema is clearing up and she doesn't have a

runny nose anymore.

I just had some labs done for my thyroid but I haven't gotten the

results back yet. I'm expecting that will have improved too. I'm

eager to see if my antibody count has gone down. I know you don't

believe in the antibody theory but I'm still curious to know what the

results are since they have always been pretty high.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my progress with you and thank you for

sharing your knowledge with all of us. I've read several books on

nutrition and alternative medicine, been to several naturopaths and

homeopaths, and saw a top thyroid/anti-aging specialist in L.A. but

none of them have been able to help me as rapidly and the extent of

this diet.

I feel really excited when I think about more positive things to come

as my health continues to improve. And you know what? I love the

recipes on this diet. I've always loved vegetables before but now I

appreciate them even more. I'm not even craving fruits or chocolate

like I used to before. The curry chicken recipe is the best I've

ever had. That alone was worth joining the group and going on the

diet! LOL!

Thank you so much, Bee, for all your wisdom and support! I'm so

thankful to have found you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
