Guest guest Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 OMG, Mike! You're supposed to start out slowly with the coconut oil. Most people start with 1/2 tsp. three times a day and gradually increase it. My sister even started at 1/8 tsp. and it took me 6 months to work my way up to 6 Tbsp. This is most definitely why you have had such strong healing reactions. If you are still having a hard time, back up and cut your coconut oil intake to a comfortable level. You want to have some sort of healing reaction, but you don't need them to be unbearable. How long have you been taking 6 Tbsp.? You could probably back up to 1 Tbsp. per day which is 1 tsp. three times a day. It would depend on how you are feeling. Hope you're feeling better soon. > > Hello , > Wow....I must have somehow overlooked the dosing of the coconut oil; I started out with 6 Tbsp. a day--that must be why I'm having such a hard time with the healing reactions, especially the glands under my armpits. Do you think this is a correct assumption? If so, I guess I need to throttle back on my daily dosage. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hello , Well, I have been taking the coconut oil like that for about a month and most days feel like I have been hit by a truck-- a lot of retracing and healing reactions. I worked out yestderday and today I feel really beat up, as well. I am a weight lifter, and started this diet about 5-6 weeks ago at 207 lbs and have since lost 19 lbs. I will surely cut back to at most 1 Tbsp. of coconut oil per day; thank you very much for that important advice. Also, how vigorous should I be working out? I'm a 43 yr. old guy that usually has no problem keeping up with 25 year olds, but it's been pretty rough lately. Thank you again; you all are awesome. I'm very confident that Bee is proud to have you as a moderator. Mike ________________________________ From: mameedle <oxhahxo@...> Sent: Tue, October 12, 2010 9:30:11 AM Subject: [ ] Re: Diet  OMG, Mike!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi Mike, No doubt you feel like you've been hit by a truck! That should ease off once you start taking less coconut oil. Working out and sweating can mobilize toxins so that's why you feel really beat up today. Bee doesn't recommend that we work out at all. That's because we need to conserve our energy for healing and it's best not to waste energy at this point on working out. I know this is very counter to what we are usually told in the mass media, but we really need to concentrate our energy on healing. Rest is what we need right now more than anything else. The types of exercise that Bee recommends are quite mild in comparison to what you might be used to. They are dry skin brushing, jumping on a mini-trampoline and walking. My husband (who is 42) waited about a year on the diet before he started working out again and even now he doesn't work out very often or even on a regular basis - just whenever he feels like it. Both my sister and I have found that we have put on muscle despite ever working out! Your weight will fluctuate as well as you heal, but don't be concerned. It will balance itself out as time goes on. Take care, PS - thank you for your kind words. ) > > Hello , > Well, I have been taking the coconut oil like that for about a month and most > days feel like I have been hit by a truck-- a lot of retracing and healing > reactions. I worked out yestderday and today I feel really beat up, as well.

All through those three years my hair has been falling out.

My body is so sensitive that all I can eat is eggs, the coconut oil and some icing made from confectioner sugar, cocoa powder, spring water, and coconut oil that is all I am living on. As soon as I stop the sugar for a couple of day I want to faint. The lemon juice and saurkraut really irritate my digestive system. I have never in my life had anything like this. It all started after the death of my father. Even homeopathic remedies cause swellling in my legs. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason you feel faint after stopping sugar is because your body has not changed over from running on glucose/carbs to running on good fats. So it is very important to slowly get your protein, fat and carb ratios to those calculated according to your height: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods8.php Of course you cannot avoid all detoxifying and healing symptoms, like digestive issues, since those symptoms are how the body heals itself naturally. In fact, all dis-ease processes are exactly the same as the healing and detoxifying processes that are created by the body itself in an effort to maintain its health. The only difference for people on this healthy program is they are now progressing towards health rather than becoming more and more unhealthy, or dis-eased because they are giving their body what it needs to " be healthy " according to Nature's Laws on Health. The medical field labels each and every " sign " of poor health as separate dis-eases, illnesses, symptoms, etc. However all of them are simply " signs " the body is working hard at maintaining its health in spite of poor nutrition, toxins, etc., so all of those " signs " are actually normal body reactions.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 , Just wanted to say thanks for all your help. I am kinda bummed about the working out, since I've always enjoyed it so much, especially as a stress reliever. I started cutting back on the coconut oil but am still feeling achy and crappy.

You may not stop feeling achy and crappy, except it should lessen somewhat when you slowly increase your good fats, since they are healing and detoxifying symptoms that cannot be avoided in order to get healthy. In fact, all dis-ease processes are exactly the same as the healing and detoxifying processes that are created by the body itself in an effort to maintain its health.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Thank you Bee. I will persevere. I did the math and it looks like at least 25 months of healing is needed, and that's just what I can remember about the antibiotics usage. It's probably a lifetime due to the lousy diet! I have been on the program now almost 7 weeks and already have seen a huge improvement with my sinuses. Thank you for all you do. I have a 20+ year medical background and I find your research not only interesting and factual, but refreshing. You and your moderators are a Godsend!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hi Bee, I think the reality of having to be on the candida diet for about 2.5 to 3 years and then your other variation of the diet for the rest of my life just hit me--especially with my favorite holiday coming up (thanksgiving). I'm already tired of feeling achy and crappy but knowing that my lymph glands are removing toxins is the reason i feel so bad is good. Even mental stress from work physically drains me now. However, I have a strong faith and a very high pain tolerance so I will ride this out for sure. My MD thinks I'm nuts (what a shock) and tells me I need to get more bloodwork, which I now feel is a waste of my time and money. My sinus problem that would normally be raging right now during this time of year is practically non-existent; by this time last year I was already on antibiotics I think 2 or 3 times! I am definately healthier. Thank you so much. Just the improvement in my throat and sinuses are a blessing. You and your team are very caring people which is why so many are finding help here.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Argie, I think Dr. Goldberg yells at all of us. Unfortunately, I'm not always honest with him because I don't want to be yelled at. I know he does this because he is so passionate about helping our kids. Dr. G cares deeply about our kids but he is sometimes too strident (new word I learned from that means comes on too strong). I've had many conversations with Dr. G about how this yelling is not okaym because life with our kids is tough enough without someone telling us we are not doing it right. I have had several moms email me about this kind of treatment and even forwarded these emails to Dr. G after eliminating names and any identifying factors. I don't think he realizes how this affects us or I know he would stop. I'm trying to help him see it is not helping families or kids.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 This is the reason people leave him and he doesn't have the popularity that he should have if his protocol would work for everyone. As a parent of an autistic child I see so many therapist and doctors who beleive they are right and tell me the other treatments I'm doing are wrong. ABA, no Floortime, no Son-Rise, GFCF, no BED, no GAPS, no SCD, Brain Balance, no speech, no OT, Tomatis, no AIT, no Listening Therapy, etc. HBOT, no HBOT. It is tiring draining and overwhelmingly frustrating. The egos are the reason parents give up when they don't know where to turn next. > > Argie, > > I think Dr. Goldberg yells at all of us.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I do not know who this Dr G is, but ANY doctor that yells at patients or family members (especially those who have family memebrs they are helping that have special needs), in my opinion is not a friendly or helpful doctor. In addition, I have noticed in my lifetime that doctors who behave in this manner have a " God complex " and think they are the only ones who can treat your child. After one visit of him yelling at me, I would have NEVER returned. It is unethical for a doctor to treat anyone in this manner....NO WAY IN HE** would I EVER PAY ANYONE TO YELL AT ME, NOR DRIVE TO SEE SOMEONE WHO I KNEW MIGHT YELL AT ME.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 To those on the list that do not know who Dr. G is, or have stopped his treatment for your child...what are you doing on this list???? This list is a forum for patients or parents of patients of Dr. G (and more recently Dr. Russel and Kathy on) to discuss our progress, our frustrations, our treatments, our successes, our experiences and so on, with one another. This is NOT a place to bash Dr. G!!! This is a man, a doctor, who has completely dedicated his life to helping our kids. Any time he " yells " at patients, or rather their parents, he is doing it for the patients own good. Dr. G knows how important the diet is in the overall health of his patients. It is too easy for parents to take the easy route and give in, or not listen to his advice, and let their kids have the very things that Dr. Goldberg knows is going to cause inflammatory reactions in many of his patients. He does this because he cares and he knows that the child can be doing better, can be healthier, can be closer to recovery. He needs to be their voice and the voice of the parent's conscience. We all need a wake up call sometimes because this road is hard. We have been a patient of Dr. G's for 8 years and not once, even closely has Dr. Goldberg ever yelled at me or raised his voice. On the contrary, I feel so indebted to him for listening to me, for believing me when I KNEW my son didn't have " Autism " , and for saving my son from a life of isolation, poor health and a bleak future that I feel compelled to want to please him and NEVER want to disappoint him. He has given me the son that I was afraid I was losing, the one I was told to " accept that he would always be strange and weird " . No Dr. G is not God, nor does he have a " God complex " . He is however our conscience and the voice of our children - his patients, pushing us all to do better for the sake of our children's health and recovery. If you are not going to listen to him, then you are better off leaving his practice. His mission is not to make friends, but instead to make us parents listen to his experience and save our children. Too many folks take what part of his advice they want and substitute in what other protocols they feel they want to work with as well. It doesn't work that way. You have to give it and Dr. G your all if you want to stop the neuroinflammation and therefore the " Autistic symptoms " . You have to surrender to all that he says and do your best to make it work. Only then will you see real change in your child, their labs, their behaviour and their future. If you want to talk poorly of Dr. G, do it off list, in private, because the people that are here for the right reason do NOT want to hear it!

You have to give it and Dr. G your all if you want to stop the neuroinflammation and therefore the " Autistic symptoms " . You have to surrender to all that he says and do your best to make it work.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Lori, You are absolutely right. We think the world of Dr G and know his " yell " (really just a sterner voice in our experience) is completely motivated by passion. I wish I had found him years earlier and hadn't wasted my time with the quacks who never cared or made a difference for our son. I feel that when I am talking to Dr G I am talking to a concerned. loving relative who tells me the hard truth. The world needs more Dr G's and parents that are willing to make the hard choices to help their children.

I've had many conversations with Dr. G about how this yelling is not okaym because life with our kids is tough enough without someone telling us we are not doing it right. I have had several moms email me about this kind of treatment and even forwarded these emails to Dr. G after eliminating names and any identifying factors. I don't think he realizes how this affects us or I know he would stop. I'm trying to help him see it is not helping families or kids.
