Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi Ginette, So sorry to hear that you also have this horror. We all understand what your going through. Its hard for the ones that are not suffering with this to understand it. I'm glad that you have found us as I believe we are one of the best support groups on the Internet. You must get into the habit of checking your emails often and reading them, and you will end up learning loads of things from this group. The best advice I can give you to start you off is to tell you to stay away from Sugar. Getting better is a long journey, and everyone of us is well on our way, some have already arrived, but for most of us, it's taking awhile to get there. :-) Sugar is an evil substance. Its an addiction, it makes us feel good and makes our taste buds dance, but once it has embedded it's evil self inside our bodies it does alot of damage. Yeah, there's a few out there that will tell you, oh a little sugar never hurts... THEYRE WRONG. It does, because like I said, Sugar is an addiction. Thats like telling a Coke addict oh just one more line wont hurt. WRONG. Sugar also cause Yeast to grow in the body which can become systemic and then voila a person is suffering with wide spread Candida in their body and then the next thing they know, they are getting dianosed with Cancer. So yeah. Sugar equals BAD! With this, I mean, no cookies, no cakes, no sodas, no donuts, no pastries, no high fructose corn syrup.. which means read labels on everything. No diet soda's, no sugar substitues, EXCEPT STEVIA. High fructose corn syrup is even in alot of Salad Dressings would you believe.... Don't drink large amounts of fruit juice. Fruit contains natural sugars called Fructose. Which natural sugars are better for you yes, but really, who do you know that downs five to six apples in one go? Fruit is not meant to be eating this way, so I do not recommend fruit juice in big amounts. Cut starches out of the diet. This means, No potatos, no rice, no pasta, no sweet potatos. Starch is just another form of SUGAR! Start using Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil in your diet. Look on the internet for some if you can not find it at your local grocer. CO is the best stuff in the world. Its the most healthiest oil, and our bodies love it. Its Antibacterial, Antimicrobial, Antifungal = Kills Yeast in the body, Anticarcinogenic, and Antiviral. And Coconut oil contains monolaurin, which is the same substance that is only also found in a Mothers breast milk to help boost the babies immune system. Pretty neat huh. Start out small with the Coconut oil and work your way up. Start out with half a teaspoon a day, and work your way up to a few tablespoons a day. Even if it takes six months to a year to get there. Learn ways of using the CO. Its not that palatable, so think of ways to put it into the foods you make. Do not use Margarine. Margarine is really bad for you. Do not use Vegetable Oil either, Vegetable oil equals transfats. Start taking supplements everyday. Vitamin C at 1000mg a go, and get 4000mg in you a day. Vitamin D3, I would suggest a high amount of like 5000 IU a day, because most Fibro people are deficient in D3 UNLESS, you are out in the Sun everyday? Go to the doctor and ask them to do a complete blood count on you to make sure your not anemic, and also get them to check your Vitamin D levels. Its always best to get checked and then recheck again later to see how your progressing. You should also be taking Vitamin E, B12, B complex, Niacin, Cod liver oil, Magnesium, Calcium, Ubiquinol... but I don't want to rush you on all of the Vitamins. Its alot to take, but I do think that you should be getting on these as soon as you can. Foods do not contain the vitamins and minerals that our bodies need these days. They lack the Nutrition that they had in them say 50 years ago because our soils are depleted from being overly cropped. Start drinking at the very least. TWO LITERS OF WATER A DAY. No exceptions. This is a must. You should also put a pinch of sea salt on your tongue before the water each day, because it will provide you with 84 minerals that your body wants and needs. Take Epsom Salt baths, Epsom Salts are really cheap, put about a cup in your bath water, and soak for like 20 minutes. Your body will love it and it will make you feel better. You could even throw some Sea Salt in your bath water. Ask your husband to give you massages. Don't forget that your skin is the largest organ you have. Whatever you put on your skin, your body absorbs. Rub the Coconut Oil on your skin. If you can turn your diet thus far and stick it out for a few weeks get back with me, and then I will direct you to another website that will help you even further, to another lady named Bee.
