prevent constipation?

+++Hi ,

You seem to have a lot of very specific questions, so I have a question. Are

you doing my program or just gathering information? If you are gathering

information, what are you using it for, and why?

The issue with starting on my program is that when carbs are lowered there's

going to be less fiber. However, that means it will take some time for the body

to adjust to it.

In the meantime if you aren't able to get your fats up high enough, and you

lower your carbs too quickly, yet you are eating more protein, you get

constipated. So it isn't just a matter of the ratio of fat to protein.

People who go slowly enough don't get constipated, but it is a balancing act

between not lowering carbs too fast and increasing fats.

No I'm not just gathering information. I've had candida for quite some

time(maybe 15 years?) and 1 1/2 year ago realized exactly what i was dealing

with. My questions might be a little more challenging cause I worked at a

vitamin store for 5 years and got the inside scoop with a lot of companies and

how they process their supplements. I have a history of ear infections/took

antibiotics which was caused by lactose intolerance. I no longer get ear

infections, because Ive avoided dairy for about 2 years now.

Ive been on this diet for 4 months now, but having trouble with keeping my

fats up. Having trouble with constipation. Coconut oil/butter/sea salt still

gives me bad detox symptoms. Hard to trust a lot of fish oil due to the way it

easily gets rancid. Fish oil should be refrigerated with antioxidants-hard to

trust whether its fresh or not. Don't wont to do any carbs cause i don't want to

give the candida any room for growth. I'm having trouble locating more animal

fat(lard) at a grocery store. Hopefully I can find a good source.

I'm just trying to figure out what is the minimum % my fat levels need to be

to prevent constipation. Sometimes its hard to do the 70% fats=kind of

nauseating.

After 4 months it seems like my body is starting to adjust but very slowly.

How long did it take you for your body to adjust to the diet change? I don't

think the Eskimos ate 70% fat or did they? Seems like their digestive system was

more designed for higher protein? Retraining the body takes a long time and

patience it seems like. Don't know how long its going to take for my body to

adjust to the higher protein levels. Hopefully not too much longer

Do you still have to do 70% fats to prevent constipation to this day?

Thanks for your time(speaking of time-time for me to donate again)

+++Hi . Lactose intolerance does not cause ear infections. The body

itself creates all inflammation and infection in order to handle toxins, injury,

damage, etc. Toxins come from 2 sources: 1) outside the body, 2) inside the

body due to normal metabolism, i.e. oxygen is changed into carbon dioxide. If

your body isn't healthy it isn't as able to handle toxins from either of those 2

sources. In order to handle toxins the body can: 1) eliminate it, 2) change it

into a substance that is less toxic, which is what candida does to heavy metals,

3) create protective substances like more mucus, etc.

>>>Ive been on this diet for 4 months now, but having trouble with keeping my

+++Have you ever been constipated before starting on this program?

Coconut oil/butter/sea salt still gives me bad detox symptoms.

+++What kind of bad detox symptoms do you have? Remember we cannot avoid all

detox and healing symptoms since they are created by the body itself in order to

restore health.

Hard to trust a lot of fish oil due to the way it easily gets rancid. Fish oil

should be refrigerated with antioxidants-hard to trust whether its fresh or not.

+++Fish oil or cod liver oil doesn't start to go rancid until the bottle is

opened, which is why good products are in dark bottles, just like good olive oil

is in dark bottles. I trust Garden of Life Cod Liver Oil and have taken it for

years, so there's no need to worry about fish oil.

Don't wont to do any carbs cause i don't want to give the candida any room for

growth. I'm having trouble locating more animal fat(lard) at a grocery store.

Hopefully I can find a good source.

+++So you are only having meats and fats and no vegetables, herbs or spices?

Carbs are all plant foods, which are foods that are not classified as protein or

fat.

I'm just trying to figure out what is the minimum % my fat levels need to be to

prevent constipation. Sometimes its hard to do the 70% fats=kind of nauseating.

+++You don't necessarily have 70% fats - calculate your ratios according to your

height and then enter foods into fitday.com so you know where you are at with

protein, fat and carbs and can adjust them up or down accordingly - here's the 2

articles you need:

> After 4 months it seems like my body is starting to adjust but very slowly.

How long did it take you for your body to adjust to the diet change?

+++Everyone's timing is different due to many factors, including age, how

debilitated they had become, how well they follow the program (calculating

ratios is important), nutritional status from their parents upon conception,

stresses in the past and present, etc.

I don't think the Eskimos ate 70% fat or did they? Seems like their digestive

system was more designed for higher protein?

+++The Eskimos ate 80% fat and 20% protein. Their digestive system is the same

as any other Human. All human bodies are exactly the same, just like animals of

the same species are in the wild, i.e. all cats are carnivores, all cows are

herbivores, etc.

So there are no different body types, blood types, race differences, or

metabolic types (as claimed by Dr. Mercola). Every Human body is made exactly

the same as any other one.

Dr. Weston A. Price writes in his book Nutrition and 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. "

Chapter 25, How Mother Nature Made Us, page 464

" 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. " Chapter 21,

Practical Application of Primitive Wisdom, page 415

>> Retraining the body takes a long time and patience it seems like. Don't know

how long its going to take for my body to adjust to the higher protein levels.

Hopefully not too much longer

> Do you still have to do 70% fats to prevent constipation to this day?

+++Some people think they are constipated when they aren't, so please describe

why you think you are constipated. Also you asked questions about B vitamins

and the liver, and I asked you whether you have liver issues - please describe

them and if you have liver pain. Would you please answer my question?

Throughout life i never seemed to tolerate cow milk that well, Even when i was

healthy as can be in my late teens. It always seemed to create more mucus than

other foods. Since I eliminated milk from my son's diet he has had no ear

infections? Maybe the pasteurization effects the digestion of lactose? The

improperly digested lactose becomes more readily available for bad

bacteria/microbes?

Never been constipated till about 2 years ago. Candida seemed like it got

out of control about a 1 year 1/2 ago. Was then Diagnosed with

duodenitis(erosion's in the duodenum). Too much coconut oil/butter/sea salt

seems to aggravate the duodenum area, causing pain and nausea. I figured maybe

those ingredients aggravate the candida in that area-causing the candida to

release toxins?

Yes only doing meats and fats. Trying boiled artichoke extract right now

see if it helps with bowel movements. Also do coffee enemas, but don't seem as

effective as a colonic.

I only have 1 bowel movement every 3-4 days and having colonics done about once

a week. (Sometimes I will have 2 bowel movements in 2 days)

No liver problems--Just know how the liver only processes so many

water-soluble nutrients at one time and then discards the rest when not used.

Wow Eskimos ate 80% fat-i never realized that.

+++Hi . If your son got ear infections it was because his body found it

necessary to create inflammation and infection (creation of bugs) in his ears in

order to clear out toxins. That isn't related to milk or even pasteurized milk,

otherwise everyone who has pasteurized dairy, like I do, would have ear

infections.

> Never been constipated till about 2 years ago. Candida seemed like it got out

in the duodenum).

+++Since you've had those digestive issues before your body will retrace them as

it is healing and progressing towards health. In the meantime there isn't much

you can do to alleviate the pain and discomfort since that's the steps the body

needs to go through in detoxifying, repairing and rebuilding the areas involved.

+++Ask me, since I had to retrace numerous duodenal ulcer episodes I'd had since

I was 14 years old. Of course the retracing came in waves, according to how

they occurred originally, so it wasn't constant pain. During those times it was

best to be on all liquid foods, to rest, and to do deep breathing exercises

knowing they would soon pass.

Too much coconut oil/butter/sea salt seems to aggravate the duodenum area,

causing pain and nausea. I figured maybe those ingredients aggravate the candida

in that area-causing the candida to release toxins?

+++It has nothing to do with candida toxins; it has to do with how the body

heals itself naturally. So don't start by questioning the good foods that are

helping your body heal itself. Of course it is important to have all foods and

supplements in combination with meals that contain protein since all of the

nutrients work together.

>Yes only doing meats and fats. Trying boiled artichoke extract right now see if

it helps with bowel movements. Also do coffee enemas, but don't seem as

effective as a colonic.

+++So are you following my all meat and fat program, which is on my website?

+++When you shoot off trying this and trying that, it is counterproductive to

allowing your body to do its job properly, which it does mainly with this diet

and the supplements, i.e. " proper nutrients. "

+++Coffee enemas aren't the end all to beat all for all issues. They help

unburden the liver and lymphatic system of toxins, but that isn't what is

involved in your digestive issues.

> I only have 1 bowel movement every 3-4 days and having colonics done about

once a week. (Sometimes I will have 2 bowel movements in 2 days)

+++That doesn't mean you are constipated. I think you should do regular deep

breathing exercises every single day, since stress like you are having does make

your body run on its fight/flight nervous system which automatically slows or

stops the movement of the bowels:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/breath4.php

+++Also it takes time for all of the body's cell membranes to be constructed out

of saturated fats so they are healthy, and it takes time for the body to switch

over to running on fats instead of on glucose.

+++I also think you should stop having colonics.

> No liver problems--Just know how the liver only processes so many

water-soluble nutrients at one time and then discards the rest when not used.

+++That's not true anyway, otherwise high doses of vitamin C would harm people's

livers so badly that Orthomolecular Physicians couldn't possibly have been

successful in treating cancer with 400,000 mg or more within hours by giving it

intravenously.

+++The liver also processes oil soluble toxins which it changes into water

soluble substances that are released from other eliminating organs like the

lungs, kidneys, skin, etc. The liver also regenerates itself every 4-5 weeks.

> Wow Eskimos ate 80% fat-i never realized that.

+++Yes, this article documents it:

http://www.biblelife.org/stefansson1.htm

+++That's why I recommend you consume 80% fat and 20% meat/eggs on my all meat

and fat program, which is calculated according to calories and not according to

grams - scroll down in fitday.com to the calorie pie chart to see if your ratios

are correct.

All the best, Bee
