reacting badly.

intense searing inside, hyper acidic feeling, almost itchy on the inside of my

body and skin burns. For hours.

+++Hi Tina. Garlic is high in sulphur which is one of the most important

minerals your body needs as explained in my main candida article - you've got

the link to it already. Sulphur is very important for detoxification inside the

body, so that's why you get reactions. However, they are not allergic

reactions, instead they are healing and detoxifying reactions - see my article

Healing Foods, Herbs & Spices Create Healing Reactions:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal14.php

+++Please do not believe what modern medicine writes about the immune system,

i.e. IgE levels, etc. since it is all written to make them money, but it isn't

how the body actually works.

+++So the first thing is not to blame good supplements and foods, and instead

learn about how the body heals itself so you understand your reactions, which

are normal.

>

> 2/ tried 1/4 tsp proper coconut oil. First time had instant nausea and read

this happens to many people, why does it? Then after got the 'body nuts'

agitation inside again.

> tried 1/4 tsp again, after food, and wasn't as bad, but got very intense body

nuts feeling jump out of stingy internal searing skin, agitation again. Is it

best to take the oil alone on empty stomach or okay with food?

+++All foods and supplements should be with meals that contain meats or eggs,

and the good fats I recommend, since they all work together in your body.

>

> I do get this feeling even from non healing foods, so I'm not sure what it is

exactly but it is hell on earth.

+++Non-healing foods will cause your body to detoxify them too. All

inflammation and infection are created by the body itself in order to maintain

its health the best it can in spite of poor nutrition, toxins, etc.

>

> 3/ why does sugar or sweet squash or too much fruit make me dizzy?

> and the last time I tried honey, by second day trying manuka honey, oh boy I

was dizzy for 3 days straight!

+++There are 143 Reasons Why Sugar Is Ruining Your Health:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/sugar4.php

> 4/I am taking parsley tea 4oz in the morning on empty stomach for new kidney

disorder. It doesn't sit that well, some burning skin, bit agitation, and

strong on my throat and gut, but is it okay in candida diet?

+++Yes it is okay on this program, however you do not want to have very much of

it, since it is diuretic meaning it makes your body lose water along with

important minerals, like all green foods and drinks. You might have to have it

with complete meals.

>

> 5/ The next thing I wanted to try to add, is clove tea. I had heard about

using whole cloves, breaking them up, use about 5 and add boiling water to make

a tea. is this a correct dosage/way?

+++I do not recommend clove tea, since I discovered our bodies do not need

anything other than this program to help it detoxify itself. This is mainly

because of the combination of fats and oils, including omega 3, vitamins A, D

and E, saturated fats like unrefined coconut oil, butter, etc. Of course all

nutrient work together so fats and oils need protein, vitamins, minerals, etc.

>

> 6/ what do people here feel about salt water flush (2 tsp good sea salt in 4

c. water drink in a.m. on empty stomach, then go to bathroom frequently for next

couple of hours, replenishing with more water.

+++The salt flushes out important minerals along with water, so I do not

recommend them. Instead do coffee and clear water enemas.

>

> 7/ what do people here think about the liver flush? the epsom salts, then oil

and lemon or grapefruit( I know, lemon is better)

>

> 8/ I think I read that green apples and grapefruit might be okay. At what

point is it okay to have them? I can barely tolerate any foods, and I do add

about 1/3 of those fruits to my meal for 'more' food. I do not have or have not

had for years, dairy, grains, sugar, other fruits.

+++Fructose is the worst sugar for anyone, even healthy people, because of how

the body processes it compared to other kinds of sugars, like glucose. I am

healthy and I do not have any fruits in my home. As you progress on this

program your taste buds change so you will not want sugars. Instead you'll be

craving healthy goods like meats, eggs and good fats.

+++Unfortunately not having butter would have made you more unhealthy.

>

> 9/does using sea salt alone cause candida die off? Like using sea salt on my

food, which I do, and even sometimes a dash in my hot water?

+++It has to be a good ocean sea salt, not just any sea salt, like I recommend

which contains over 84 minerals in addition to sodium and chloride. Read my

article so you understand this.

>

> 10/ Last one i'll ask, is do many people here have issues with itching inside

the body all over difusely? moreso after eating? Is that considered a

reaction, or die off or? It happens to me after eating certain things, most

things, and seems esp. the antifungal foods like garlic, coconut oil, we'll see

later if cloves does it too.

+++Your body creates itching inside or outside in order to detoxify itself, so

it is a common reaction.

YES YES YES!!!! What is that horrible feeling??? Mine started in Jan. 2010. I

was drinking decaf. coffee one evening when it hit the first time. I " WAS " using

1 Sweet-n-Low & 1 Aspartame with 2-3 heaping tablespoons of non-dairy creamer in

a giant cup. I probably drank 6-8 of these every day for a decade. My coffee

intake along with all that crap STOPPED 7 months ago.

Then the ER trips began due to this, coupled with heart pounding. I told them as

best I could, that it felt like ELECTRICAL shocks, stinging inside my torso.

They didn't have a clue... six times!

Since I've on Bee's program & I'm only eating/drinking ALLOWED foods, it has

stopped completely. Which is such a welcome BONUS to regaining my health. BUT,

last week I thought I bought ground pork, but it was bulk pork sausage. I was

making a meatloaf, 1/2 pork & 1/2 beef, when I saw that I'd bought the wrong

thing. I went ahead & made it anyways. I tested for taste by browning a small

bit in a skillet. Within 5 minutes, there was that horrid feeling & it lasted

for 7 hours. So I had to dump the whole thing.

Sausage has NITRATES & I am sure that is what did it. BUT... how do we stop that

reaction to foods??? I do not know. Once we are HEALTHY, will it go away? I do

not know. Once it gets in gear, can we take a supplement that will EASE the

discomfort? I do not know.

Can someone PLEASE tell us what that is, will it go away, how to stop it, etc???

My life comes to a grinding halt when this occurs. And I gotta tell 'ya, there

is a giant lump of paranoia that goes with this stinging reaction to foods.

THANK YOU in advance.

+++Hi Debbie,

Your body creates itching inside and outside in order to detoxify itself, so it

is a common reaction. So that explains why you felt so bad when you put 1

Sweet-n-Low & 1 Aspartame with 2-3 heaping tablespoons of non-dairy creamer in

your decaf coffee, since they are all toxic. All toxins cause your body has to

work hard to get rid of them. Your body also has to deal with its own toxins

that are produced every day in order to process and absorb nutrients, like uric

acid created while processing protein and fruit and normal cellular waste

products like carbon dioxide you breath out through your lungs, and so on.

The electrical shocks you felt are common too. I had them but didn't realize

why until after my first coffee enema which took the edge off of that feeling.

Then I " knew " it was because I was so toxic!

During healing your body will also retrace all of those feelings, symptoms,

reactions, along with past illnesses, injuries, organ malfunctions, and even

blood sugar or blood pressure going up and down - see Retracing, Healing

Reactions and Flare-ups:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php

In order to stop reactions to nitrates, sulphites, and similar additives in

foods, take your dose of vitamin C with your meals. Vitamin C binds up those

substances so they have less effect on you. That is another good reason to take

all supplements with meals, in addition to all nutrients working together.

Having paranoia because of those reactions is natural. It is so easy to become

afraid of eating anything. When I was so sick I had no choice about the foods I

ate for about 1 month. Then I could only eat 9 foods because everything else

came back up. Talk about scarey!

Hang in there Debbie. You too can get healthy like me. : )

The best in health, Bee

Hi Bee and everyone,

Thanks for all your support.

I am reading so much. I guess some of my questions where not necessary b/c

after asking the 2 flush questions, I read the info on your site. I apologize

for this. My computer runs very slowly, and then I have my daughter like

everyone else, so I do this late at night usually.

Some specific things though I can't seem to find.

I've been reading and researching for 2.5 years. Originally I ruled out candida

b/c a 2-3 month trial of strong antifungals didn't change my sx. But I see now

that this doesn't mean candida isn't a problem. This was backed up by expensive

metametrix stool test that read that I did not have candida overgrowth! Maybe

others have been down this road too.

So, I get pulled here and there, and all I want to do is stop the 'allergic

type' reactions and illness! And of course, help my child more than anything so

she never gets to where I am. I've even tested the water, and air in my home, I

mean, so so many tests on myself too. Thank you all for your patience.

Some things I just can't seem to finds answers to, such as: if the sulphate in

epsom salts is absorbed, is this sulphate like sulphur in our bodies and

attacks/helps kill the candida?

I am buying and using only the recommended products - in fact, I've had some of

them already.

I guess I can't wrap my head around it all, having done so much for my health

over 2.5 years and still getting much more symptomatic, in that I react in my

body with crazy intense, nuts, jump out of skin as if acid is under my skin all

over my body - and I have to almost pace for hours or move nonstop b/c o f the

deep tickling searing feeling like vinegar is under my skin. Thats the only way

I can kind of explain it, and that I feel also that all my muscles will seize -

and they do cramp up, even moreso since I've been taking vit c, calc, magn and

more good sea salt.

I want to buy the ghee, but see it only says casein free, is it also whey free?

Also, wondering if there is one area that has all your recommeneded products to

use? That link would help me a lot, and I'd just shut up!

I see a recommended supplements, but then couldn't find the sea salt on it. I

keep going back and forth, I will get this all soon I promise! I am using

redmond's sea salt and himalayan sea salt.

Bee are you sort of saying: that my body, no matter what, because of the state

it's in, is detoxifying and therefore 'reactive' and this is why I seem to

react to more and more foods? And when I use the detoxifying foods, that I will

react even more b/c of die off and then if I even use any foods, my body will

react b/c - this is the part I don't really get how 'bad' food can cause the

symtpoms too. I too have a very short list of foods now. It went way down

before, and then up for awhile, down again. I rotate them, and eat the same

food all day, but then don't eat it again for 4 days.

ie/ Fatty beef, brussel sprouts, turnip for example on one day, with sea salt.

(for me bad food is only some fruit, or used to eat organic sea salt potato

chips which i react to now too. I do not and have not had grains, sugar,

processed foods, and barely any fruit for couple of years now)

I will not write for awhile I think if I get these other few answers, I will

just do it all for some time and write only when I scared with reactions for

reasurance. I will also try to search for my same symptoms on the site to get

reassurance.

Warm thanks to everyone and hugs. I know I'm new here but if anyone is going

through what I am with those body sx, you definitely deserve hugs from me.

Hi Tina - I'll see if i can answer some of your questions while you await a

moderator or Bee to respond...

>>Originally I ruled out candida b/c a 2-3 month trial of strong antifungals

didn't change my sx.

+++ do a research either here on the forum or on Bee's site for 'antifungals';

there is lots written about it to explain why they are unnecessary...

>> I've even tested the water, and air in my home, I mean, so so many tests on

myself too.

+++ I'm sure your symptoms are way worse than mine ever were, but I want to

encourage you to slow down and read Bee's articles and let them absorb. Stop

running tests (save money). You can't change everything all at once so just

start with your diet and supplements and you'll be able to add in the other

changes that might be necessary as time goes on...

>

> Some things I just can't seem to finds answers to, such as: if the sulphate in

epsom salts is absorbed, is this sulphate like sulphur in our bodies and

attacks/helps kill the candida?

+++ Remember, candida cannot be 'killed'; only by good nutrition can the candida

turn back in to the good organism it was meant to be. But I would not be

concerned about the amount of sulphates in epsom salts. Just focus on diet for

now.

> I want to buy the ghee, but see it only says casein free, is it also whey

free?

+++ a simple google search shows that the whey is skimmed off, so yes, it is

whey-free.

> Also, wondering if there is one area that has all your recommended products to

use?

+++ unfortunately there is not one site from which to buy everything; i

certainly understand the confusion and overwhelmed feeling of it at this point.

Start with iHerb and order the supplements available from them first. You'll

want to get your salt from Selina's. I think there is the Halibut liver oil

that needs to come from another source, but follow the link on Bee's supplement

page <http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp1.php>

>

> I see a recommended supplements, but then couldn't find the sea salt on it. I

keep going back and forth, I will get this all soon I promise! I am using

redmond's sea salt and himalayan sea salt.

+++ Look on the right column of any of Bee's web site pages and you will see the

links for her supplements; Selina's (for sea salt) will be there. Please do a

search in the archives here for Bee's recent discussion on the Himalayan sea

salt; she no longer recommends it. The Redmond's, while better than table salt,

has 54 trace minerals while the Celtic sea salt has 84.

> (for me bad food is only some fruit, or used to eat organic sea salt potato

chips which i react to now too. I do not and have not had grains, sugar,

processed foods, and barely any fruit for couple of years now)

+++ Know what foods are on Bee's approved list:

<http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foodslist.php> and only eat off

of that list; don't be concerned at this point with any foods not on the list.

I hope this gives you some direction while you wait to hear from Bee.

wow, you're the only one to tell me this!

Thanks for your support. It is hell, this electric tickly itchy searing

sensation inside.

I have gotten it to even good foods, so I can't figure what is happening or if

it's unrelated somehow.

Did you ever take benzodiazepines? Get tested for lyme? Take antidepressants

etc and quit?

I am in w/d still from benzos, which only complicates things. I'm almost a year

off now, but big surge in sx since falling 3 months ago, and breaking arm badly

and requiring surgery and all kinds of meds I do not tolerate incl. antibiotics.

Did those sensations go right away or over time once on bee's diet?

thanks,

Tina

I don't think anyone understands the agony I have inside my body under my skin

when I say I'm 'reacting' to my foods.

I just don't think I could live like this forever, but it happened to more and

more foods until it happens to all basically. It's just like poison under my

skin in my blood, so agonizing.

i'm having it a bit now, since I had an alkalizing drink.

I also get very bad seized up crampy muscles from this.

I just want it to stop and to not get it anymore from eating! No one

understands in the real world you know?

Thanks

+++You are getting more symptomatic because your body is starting to get

everything it needs in order to heal and detoxify itself like it should.

+++Please tell me exactly which muscles are seizing up.

will react b/c - this is the part I don't really get how 'bad' food can cause

the symtpoms too.

+++Most bad foods do not provide the nutrition your body needs in order to

detoxify itself. Your body has to detoxify itself every day, whether you are

healthy or unhealthy, even if you didn't get any toxins from outside sources.

The body produces some toxins in order to process foods, which is totally

normal. For example: You breathe in good air (oxygen) and you breath out bad

air (carbon dioxide). Carbon dioxide is a toxin. You eat protein and it

produces things your kidneys have to get rid of, i.e. toxins like ammonia or

urea.

+++Processed foods contain many chemicals, the FDA allows manufacturers to use,

which are damaging to our bodies and cause them to work harder to detoxify them.

When you are unhealthy your body is not as able to detoxify itself.

+++We would not call good healthy foods as detoxifying foods, even though they

help your body detoxify itself. Healthy foods provide more than just the

substances your body requires in order to detoxify itself. They provide the

nutrients, like protein, good fats, etc., that your body must have in order to

have healthy muscles, to run your heart, to make a healthy liver so it can

detoxify and sort out nutrients better, etc. If you don't get those nutrients

your own body robs nutrients like protein from muscles or minerals from bone, in

order to run vital organs like your heart, liver and kidneys.

I too have a very short list of foods now. It went way down before, and then

up for awhile, down again. I rotate them, and eat the same food all day, but

then don't eat it again for 4 days.

+++It isn't helpful nor necessary to rotate any foods. First, you do not blame

foods on this program as the " cause " of health problems. Foods on this program

make you healthy, so indirectly they do help your body create needed

detoxification and healing symptoms so it can heal itself.

+++You cannot avoid healing and detoxifying reactions in order to get healthy

since ALL disease processes are exactly the same as healing and detoxifying

processes created by the body itself in an effort to maintain its health, in

spite of poor nutrition, toxins, etc.

+++However, the medical industry labels each and every " sign " of poor health as

separate dis-eases, illnesses, symptoms, syndromes, etc. which are actually

normal body reactions and processes. In other words, they are simply " signs " the

body is attempting to restore its own balance.

+++People on this healthy program are giving their bodies what they need to

become healthy, so they are now able to progress towards health rather than

become more and more unhealthy, or dis-eased.

+++Healing processes are the reverse of disease processes, so that's why you get

symptoms and reactions on this program.

+++Think about it: Diseases, symptoms, illnesses, etc. cannot cause themselves,

which is like claiming " firemen caused the fire. " Therefore, doctors are only

treating the " results of poor health " and not the " causes. " This program treats

the causes.

> I will not write for awhile I think if I get these other few answers, I will

just do it all for some time and write only when I scared with reactions for

reasurance. I will also try to search for my same symptoms on the site to get

reassurance.

+++It will not help you to search for your same symptoms on my website, since

treating them is a waste of time and effort. Only doctors treat individual

symptoms, diseases, etc. as if they are separate from the whole body, and we

know that doesn't treat the " causes. " So my advice is to concentrate on doing

this program and only have foods on my list, along with just the supplements

recommended.

All the best, Bee

Hi Bee,

To answer you, specifically, it's mostly my legs that have been charlie horsing,

both, and esp calves and had some periods of very achy stiff muscles, my neck,

when my head was turned the farthest to one side, that it too was

seizing/cramping up, but resolved and not nearly as bad as my achy crampy legs.

it's a bit better today.

I also noticed for the first time, that my ankles have deep 'sock' dents in

them. both, but the left slightly more I think. Happen to have a badly broken

arm on the left too which is swollen already, wonder if that's why left leg is a

bit worse? I notice clothes indents too even on my waist and my feet appear a

bit fatter. New for me.

I seem to be retaining some water? I never have before, but have had lots of

salt

this past 1- 1.5 weeks. I'm reallly enjoying it, maybe too much? I think about

2.5 tsp /day. I'll cut back down to 1.5 tsp, measuring it. Even before

starting your diet in the past week, before these ankle sock dents, I was having

a long lasting twitch in my bottom left lip too, but if I think hard, I believe

it may be after I started having more salt again.

I was using redmond's realsalt until today when I purchared celtic sea salt.

Come to think of it, on my blood work from 2 weeks ago, it also showed normal

but sodium was at upper end of normal with potassium at lower end of normal

range.

I am a bit concerned of the bloating in ankles b/c of that recent bloodwork that

showed elevated creatinine and lowered eGFR, which is totally new thing for me,

6 months ago on my last bloodwork it was normal. I do not recall ever having

kidney tests that were abnormal.

I am tolerating the coconut oil better now, and am up to 1/2 tsp, 3-4x a day,

with my 7 yr old daughter up to 1/4 tsp 2x a day.

Even my normally loose and foul daily bowel movement, was firmer today, not just

a mush pile but actually soft formed.

Most ppl here seem to be constipated from what I read, but for me, it's horrible

loose stools that are mushy and foul and just gross overall. For the most part

of 2.5 years, except when I've taken somekind of antibiotic, which makes them

non odourous and firm normal bm, but that lasts only for 2-3 weeks once meds

stop and then back to mushy liquid, unformed.

Am I the only one? Seems constipation more common in candida?

Thanks

Tina

o f the deep tickling searing feeling like vinegar is under my skin. Thats the

only way I can kind of explain it, and that I feel also that all my muscles will

seize - and they do cramp up, even moreso since I've been taking vit c, calc,

magn and more good sea salt.

everything it needs in order to heal and detoxify itself like it should.

state it's in, is detoxifying and therefore 'reactive' and this is why I seem

to react to more and more foods? And when I use the detoxifying foods, that I

will react even more b/c of die off and then if I even use any foods, my body

will react b/c - this is the part I don't really get how 'bad' food can cause

the symtpoms too.

>

> +++Most bad foods do not provide the nutrition your body needs in order to

detoxify itself. Your body has to detoxify itself every day, whether you are

healthy or unhealthy, even if you didn't get any toxins from outside sources.

The body produces some toxins in order to process foods, which is totally

normal. For example: You breathe in good air (oxygen) and you breath out bad

air (carbon dioxide). Carbon dioxide is a toxin. You eat protein and it

produces things your kidneys have to get rid of, i.e. toxins like ammonia or

urea.

>

> +++Processed foods contain many chemicals, the FDA allows manufacturers to

use, which are damaging to our bodies and cause them to work harder to detoxify

them. When you are unhealthy your body is not as able to detoxify itself.

>

> +++We would not call good healthy foods as detoxifying foods, even though they

help your body detoxify itself. Healthy foods provide more than just the

substances your body requires in order to detoxify itself. They provide the

nutrients, like protein, good fats, etc., that your body must have in order to

have healthy muscles, to run your heart, to make a healthy liver so it can

detoxify and sort out nutrients better, etc. If you don't get those nutrients

your own body robs nutrients like protein from muscles or minerals from bone, in

order to run vital organs like your heart, liver and kidneys.

>

> I too have a very short list of foods now. It went way down before, and then

up for awhile, down again. I rotate them, and eat the same food all day, but

then don't eat it again for 4 days.

>

> +++It isn't helpful nor necessary to rotate any foods. First, you do not blame

foods on this program as the " cause " of health problems. Foods on this program

make you healthy, so indirectly they do help your body create needed

detoxification and healing symptoms so it can heal itself.

>

> +++You cannot avoid healing and detoxifying reactions in order to get healthy

since ALL disease processes are exactly the same as healing and detoxifying

processes created by the body itself in an effort to maintain its health, in

spite of poor nutrition, toxins, etc.

>

> +++However, the medical industry labels each and every " sign " of poor health

as separate dis-eases, illnesses, symptoms, syndromes, etc. which are actually

normal body reactions and processes. In other words, they are simply " signs " the

body is attempting to restore its own balance.

>

> +++People on this healthy program are giving their bodies what they need to

become healthy, so they are now able to progress towards health rather than

become more and more unhealthy, or dis-eased.

>

> +++Healing processes are the reverse of disease processes, so that's why you

get symptoms and reactions on this program.

>

> +++Think about it: Diseases, symptoms, illnesses, etc. cannot cause

themselves, which is like claiming " firemen caused the fire. " Therefore, doctors

are only treating the " results of poor health " and not the " causes. " This

program treats the causes.

>

> > I will not write for awhile I think if I get these other few answers, I will

just do it all for some time and write only when I scared with reactions for

reasurance. I will also try to search for my same symptoms on the site to get

reassurance.

>

> +++It will not help you to search for your same symptoms on my website, since

treating them is a waste of time and effort. Only doctors treat individual

symptoms, diseases, etc. as if they are separate from the whole body, and we

know that doesn't treat the " causes. " So my advice is to concentrate on doing

this program and only have foods on my list, along with just the supplements

recommended.

****Yep, no more tests, this is just what I did do on the 2.5 yrs journey after

my health suddenly crashed and my life changed. I tried everything to 'find'

the culprit, I was sure there was something. Nothing but normal bloodwork now

every 4-6 months.

**** I think I must be asking the question wrong. what I meant is if the

sulphate IS actually a form of sulphur, and therefore gets absorbed through the

epsom salt bath (it's believed to right?) and then acts just like sulphur in the

body against candida etc?

Both myself and daughter get a wee bit itchy in the epsom salt bath after a few

nights in a row.

Any link that really describes your coffee enemas? Sorry I have not found that

one yet.

Thank you again. Gee I thought I was done asking already yesterday, here I go

> Hi Bee,

> To answer you, specifically, it's mostly my legs that have been charlie

horsing, both, and esp calves and had some periods of very achy stiff muscles,

my neck, when my head was turned the farthest to one side, that it too was

seizing/cramping up, but resolved and not nearly as bad as my achy crampy legs.

it's a bit better today.

+++Hi Tina. It takes time for such symptoms to improve, and your

seizing/cramping is being helped by many things on my program, including cal/mag

supplements, oils and fats and oil vitamins, ocean sea salt, foods, etc., etc. -

as I always write: All of the nutrients work together in the body.

>

> I also noticed for the first time, that my ankles have deep 'sock' dents in

them. both, but the left slightly more I think. Happen to have a badly broken

arm on the left too which is swollen already, wonder if that's why left leg is a

bit worse? I notice clothes indents too even on my waist and my feet appear a

bit fatter. New for me.

+++Nerves do run on either side of the body, so trauma on that side could affect

the whole side. I had a back injury that affected my whole right side for a

very long time. Many changes will happen while you are progressing towards

health, so do not be concerned. Strange things on your body will come and go,

come and go again, etc.

+++Your broken arm will be repaired too, like all other injuries will - see this

> I seem to be retaining some water? I never have before, but have had lots of

salt

> this past 1- 1.5 weeks. I'm reallly enjoying it, maybe too much? I think

about 2.5 tsp /day. I'll cut back down to 1.5 tsp, measuring it.

+++Oh yes, that is way too much salt. Remember that " more is not better " !

Even before starting your diet in the past week, before these ankle sock

dents, I was having a long lasting twitch in my bottom left lip too, but if I

think hard, I believe it may be after I started having more salt again.

+++Maybe it was due to salt since it can be diuretic, meaning it causes your

body to lose water along with important minerals, like calcium and magnesium, so

that's why you only take the recommended amount.

> I was using redmond's realsalt until today when I purchared celtic sea salt.

Come to think of it, on my blood work from 2 weeks ago, it also showed normal

but sodium was at upper end of normal with potassium at lower end of normal

range.

+++Okay then.

>

> I am a bit concerned of the bloating in ankles b/c of that recent bloodwork

that showed elevated creatinine and lowered eGFR, which is totally new thing for

me, 6 months ago on my last bloodwork it was normal. I do not recall ever

having kidney tests that were abnormal.

+++Bloodwork is not a reliable indicator of what is going on in your body at a

cellular level, since they use vein blood - See my message " Why You Should Not

Rely on Blood Tests for Nutrients & Hormones: Message #103945, March 28, 2011.

+++Of course some things are going to go up and other go down as your body is

adjusting itself and trying to balance out so many things. It's got quite the

job to do, but it is smart enough to totally balance if you give it what it

needs to do its job.

>

> I am tolerating the coconut oil better now, and am up to 1/2 tsp, 3-4x a day,

with my 7 yr old daughter up to 1/4 tsp 2x a day.

+++Good for you.

>

> Even my normally loose and foul daily bowel movement, was firmer today, not

just a mush pile but actually soft formed.

> Most ppl here seem to be constipated from what I read, but for me, it's

horrible loose stools that are mushy and foul and just gross overall. For the

most part of 2.5 years, except when I've taken somekind of antibiotic, which

makes them non odourous and firm normal bm, but that lasts only for 2-3 weeks

once meds stop and then back to mushy liquid, unformed. Am I the only one?

Seems constipation more common in candida?

+++There are many people who have diarrhea since it is one of the ways the body

detoxifies itself. However, anyone can get constipated if they change over to

my program too fast, which happens more often that we would think. Some people

think that if they rush they will get healthier quicker, however that isn't how

the body works.

+++Tina, sorry but I'm not a chemist so I can't confirm whether sulphate in

epsom salts is actually the same sulphur mineral I wrote about above.

+++However, remember that sulphur in the body does not act against candida,

since the body itself is creating candida for a reason and the body isn't stupid

enough to work against itself.

+++Itchiness is caused by toxins coming out, so they are normal too. Rub

unrefined coconut oil into you and your daughter's skin after an epsom salt bath

and you should be just fine.
