Re: : Organic food, Pesticides and Enzymes

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanne, pesticides are a known porph trigger and I'm sure it would

be better if I can transition to eating only organic. I don't think

that porphyria can be " cured " by this, but it could certainly be

a step toward reducing porph attacks. Any reduction in attacks

would be helpful. I think that once I get the porph attacks under control,

I will then be able to go lower carb. Right now the top priority

is doing something about the mold in my house which is keeping

me almost constantly in attack.

Thanks for finding this video. I've searched for porphyria on you tube

before and this one never came up.

Taking biotin and probiotics is helping to get the candida under control.

And taking coconut oil. It's a slow process this way, but it is

working.

I do believe people on this list are finding healing. I do believe

there can be more healing for my fibro even though its

root cause is the porphyria. But I have been discouraged lately

as I have been doing so many healing things and still feel so

lousy.

Thanks for your encouragement.

cost down for me. I can do this because the folk on freecycle have given me a

greenhouse, lots of compost bins, plant pots, manure, compost , tools, in fact

everything I need to grow my own veg.

herbs. And also, from my experience I have found herbs are in fact one of the

easiest plant foods for us to digest, and they keep candida at bay when eaten

with the other good foods Bee mentions

cannot afford it. 50% or so is fine because I and many others on Bees diet have

gotten well not eating fully all organic meat. I do try very hard to buy organic

eggs. Right no we have a house for chickens, we just need to build the fencing

around it and then we are getting some chickens so that we can have organic veg

> In regards to the fats we eat, I eat several of the fats mentioned in the

video coconut oil, olive oil, and I do ensure these are organic. My butter is

not always organic but it is always grass fed. According to the Weston Price

site Kerrygold is the best butter

> I think the reason why these folk in the video are doing well with organic is

because when we eat all organic we avoid pesticides, and pesticides both deplete

enzymes and also increase problems with candida. I cannot 100% eat organic but

over time I have found several sources at a good price. When I get time I will

post a few leads that might be useful regarding this
