Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 , Lemons are okay, and are in fact recommended. They are one of the non-sweet fruits that we can tolerate. Others would be lime, grapefruit, and kiwi (not too ripe). Not only will the lemon juice help detox, but I heard it does help your body have an acidic environment that Candida does not like. So, yes, lemon juice with water away (as long as squeezed from a fresh lemon). You can also try finding a cranberry concentrate, no sugar, and add that to water. With ice it is very refreshing!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 <<cranberry concentrate>> Shoshana, Does that mean fresh or frozen cranberries would be okay? I'm not a big cranberry fan, but with enough lemon or lime, it might be a nice change to water. Thanks, n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 n, I use a cranberry juice concentrate. Not sure about fresh or frozen cranberries. I do know that cranberries normally do not have a great deal of sugar in them, and they are a tart fruit. Anyone else know if fresh or frozen cranberries are okay?

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 > > Bee and all, > > I read some of the files again this weekend and found that lemons do have fructose in them. I got to thinking that maybe that could be a reason that I am having such a struggle taking down my candida. I eat at least 4 lemons a day; lemon calcium, lemon salt drink, lemon garlic tea and lemon on my food. Your thoughts please. ==>You do need to be cautious about how you react to lemons and only have minimal amounts per day, or none. Some people do not tolerate them at all until they have progressed further along in the program. Cut them in half and if you are still not doing well cut them out and add them later on. > > I also read in a file that selenium supports the thyroid. I bought some yesterday and took it. I took it this morning too. Yesterday and today are the first days that my hands and body have been warm since I can remember. My hands are usually so cold that I have to sit on them or have a space heater blasting on them. There has got to be a relationship. ==>Maybe there is a relationship. Do be cautious and do not take too much because it can overstimulate the thyroid as well if taken too long. Remember that I lost my thyroid because it was tampered with too much when I was curing my candida, and before that by taking Lugol's iodine and soy. The thyroid isn't the only organ involved in temperature, the adrenals are also involved and others. See Dr. Rind's site for comparison charts. ==>Selenium is only required by the body in trace amounts; see this reference: http://www.acu-cell.com/ses.html. Even though selenium and sulfur share right and left hand receptors in the cells, sulfur is one of 7 macrominerals required by the body and it is found in such foods as garlic, eggs, lemon, etc. ==>If you keep track of your foods on www.fitday.com and you are eating foods recommended on my diet you may find you are getting enough selenium along with what is in good ocean sea salt. I totalled mine last week and found I was getting plenty of selenium without even trying - mostly from certified organic free-range eggs.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 > > I found anon concentrate double vertified organic lemon juice in a > glass bottle? Is this ok bee ==>Even if bottled lemon juice does not contain preservatives it accumulates molds very easily like all bottled fruit juices, and I'm not sure they have to claim all preservatives on the label. This is from my Candida Article (see the note below about packaged fruit juice): 3. Eliminate yeast, mold and fungi Elimination of yeast, mold and fungi in foods, drinks, and the environment is important for most Candida sufferers in the initial stages of the program, and it may be longer for sensitive individuals. Candida overgrowth can greatly increase the chances of an immune reaction to all types and forms of fungi. This results in an allergic response to yeast, mold and fungi, including mycotoxins. Many of our foods contain mycotoxins that are chemicals made by fungi. Mycotoxins are found in grains and other processed foods that have been contaminated with fungi and mold, including processed meats. The most commonly contaminated crops are peanuts, corn, and wheat. Often, other foods such as barley, apples, sorghum and rye can also be contaminated. Antibiotics and alcohol are also mycotoxins, and they must not be consumed. Yeasty, moldy, and other fungi-type foods and drinks that must be eliminated (foods that not allowed on the candida diet which are also in this category are not listed): -Canned or boxed foods of any kind. -Most leftover foods that easily collect mold. -Vinegar and vinegar containing foods like mayonnaise, pickles, mustard and relish — see Note* Malt products or foods containing malt. -Edible fungi, including all types of mushrooms and truffles. -Processed and smoked meats: sausages, hot dogs, corned beef, pastrami, smoked fish, ham, and bacon. NOTE! -Fruit juices (no fruits are allowed on the candida diet, except lemons and limes): all packaged fruits and fruit juices may potentially contain molds, including Real Lemon and other concentrated lemon or lime juices.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hello , Actually, it sounds like Bee's Electrolyte Drink recipe would be perfect for you right now for your digestive purposes. Have you made it yet? Bee says to drink it 6 times a day (drink 3 of those glasses with meals to aid digestion). Here's the recipe. Electrolyte Drink 6 ounces pure water the juice of 1/2 lemon (freshly squeezed) 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Stevia sweetener to taste (optional) Mix all ingredients together in a 6-ounce glass. Hope this helps. :-) Debra NW " " <jayppers2672@...> wrote: Hello. I've been having a hard time getting my HCl supplements lately, so I've decided to start using the juice of one lemon with each meal to help aid digestion (including helping to stimulate my gall bladder). Is the sugar that is included in the lemon OK? Am I right in thinking there is about 5 grams of sugar in the juice of one lemon? I would be taking the juice of one small lemon with every meal, which is 3 per day. I'll be feeding candida with this, right? My lemons are very small, about the size of a lime really. It nets about a tablespoon of juice. Would I just be better off without this? I think vinegar is my only other option, but I know that this is not an acceptable substitution since there is the potential for aflatoxin (since the cider is initially fermented with yeast before is undergoes bacterial fermentation to make the vinegar). I guess I've been wondering which is the lesser of two evils -- sugar from the lemons or aflatoxin/vinegar? I know that the acid in the lemons is great for detoxification, from what I've read. So if someone can assist me determine if the benefits outweigh the negatives, I'd really appreciate it, because I'd rather not thrash this around in my brain for much longer. Thanks everyone!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 ... My wife and I take Bee's electrolyte drink with every meal, and we love it! I've noticed that it is hard to get carb levels near to the recommended ratios on the low-carb veggies alone. If you do the lemons as suggested (Bee suggests 3 lemons per day in the drinks... or do less drinks if you cook fish with lemon, etc...), then it is very easy to reach your carb quotas, and you will not be feeding the yeast in the process. You can then eat a low carb serving of veggies with each meal (I usually stir-fry cabbage, onions, celery and herbs in the left-over fat with most meals). If I were you, I would do half of one lemon with each meal in the drink, so you don't put too much sugar in your system at one time.

Would I just be better off without this? ==>Yes it is okay, but some people do not do well with lemons until later on, and I believe you are one of them. Please try to get some Betaine HCl supplements, OR puree a good unpasteurized sauerkraut (or make your own), since you have trouble digesting it, and eat at least 2 tbls with every meal along with some of its juice. > I think vinegar is my only other option, but I know that this is not > an acceptable substitution since there is the potential for aflatoxin (since the cider is initially fermented with yeast before is undergoes bacterial fermentation to make the vinegar). I guess I've been wondering which is the lesser of two evils -- sugar from the lemons or aflatoxin/vinegar? ==>Bragg's or Eden's apple cider vinegar are perfectly fine; they are unpasteurized, undistilled and unfiltered. But I don't think you should try it. Again some people don't do well on it. Get Betaine HCl instead. This is one of the most important things you can do for your health.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Interesting, it's supposed to help the liver too isn't it? Which book did you read this in? chris > Interestinly and this is how I worked it out - I read in a book that people who love lemons and suck them neat have low adrenal reserve and are trying to kick start them subconsciously. So there may be a case for low adrenal people to have the juice of a fresh lemon - it must be diluted by the way - but take it slowly in case it over stimulates an adrenal gland that is too weak to support the stimulation the lemon will offer. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I thought the following might be useful to some of you http://www.naturalchoicesforfibromyalgia.com/site/678806/page/936943 How Do You Respond to Stress? If you are like many people, your response to stress robs your body of minerals on a daily basis. You see, your adrenal glands are in charge of your " fight or flight " response when stressful events happen. And your adrenals need a good quantity of minerals to function on a daily basis. As you know, your fibromyalgia symptoms get worse with acute or chronic stress in your life, often due to a lack of enough minerals, especially magnesium. Testing Your Own Stress Level You can test yourself to find out how you respond to stress. You can use pH paper (from a health food store) and measure your baseline saliva reading (it should be between 6.4 and 7.0 depending on the time of day). You baseline saliva reading shows you how your liver is metabolizing foods. If your reading is below 6.4 you're not picking up nutrients well from foods, and food may be passing through you too quickly. If your saliva pH is over 7.0 your metabolism has slowed down, and this can create more toxins and a higher tendency toward joint and muscle stress. So just knowing your daily baseline pH reading is helpful since it can tell you if your diet and lifestyle are creating your pain. Once you have your baseline pH reading you can drink 1 tsp of lemon juice in 1 tsp of water. If it is too sour, just swish it around in your mouth and spit it our. Then take your saliva pH reading again immediately. It should be yellow or 5.0 on the pH scale. This indicates that your mouth has responded to the acid in the lemon juice. But if you have enough minerals in your diet, and your metabolism is working well your saliva pH readings will go up gradually over time. So wait one minute after drinking the lemon juice and take another saliva pH reading. What is it now? Here are some options of what can happen and what it means: 1. High Stress Reading: The pH reading 1 minute after drinking the lemon juice is dark blue (or between 7.6 and 8.0 on the scale): This means that your respond to stress very quickly. Your adrenals react to the acid in the lemon juice and create an alkaline reaction within one minute. Your body is using minerals quickly in response to even small stresses. 2. Medium Stress Reading: The pH reading 1 minute after drinking the lemon juice is blue (7.0 to 7.4), and is higher than your baseline pH reading: This means that you respond to stress quickly, but not too quickly. This is a pretty normal reaction for most women, especially mothers. 3. Low Stress Reading: The pH reading 1 minute after drinking the lemon juice is green (between 6.4 and 6.8), and this is where your baseline reading is also. This indicates an average response to stress, and if you test again in another minute it should continue to rise over time to about 7.2. If the reading does not continue to rise, you are rebounding back to your initial pH reading, so you are compensating for stress easily. 4. Low Digestive Energy Reading: The last option is if the pH reading does not respond by rising after drinking the lemon juice. If it stays below 6.0 even for minutes after drinking the lemon juice, I would recommend taking your pH reading every minute to see how long it takes to rise back to your baseline level. This reaction means that there are serious digestive problems, and you are having acidosis reactions, and need digestive support. This is where I would not recommend lemon juice in water until the digestive system is working again. By doing this test you can find out if you have enough minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc) for the stress you have in your life. If you need to know more about this test and the other factors that are involved in making this test useful, you can read all about it with graphs and score sheets at Patterns of Stress Testing Kit. Hi Mandy, I also have noticed that I feel better after drinking lemon juice, especially from lemons grown on my own tree as they are organic. In fact, any product that contains " citric acid " seems to give me a boost. As I understand it this is because citrus fruit makes your body less acidic, which is a positive and boosts your energy level as a result. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi there Not sure about the liver but I have many nutritional books and read it somewhere (don't ask me where) that people who suck lemons are trying to boost their adrenals - I then worked it out myself that if I took lemon it must help my own adrenals. You must dilute it because it is corrosive to the stomach and the teeth. regards Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
