How do you use Virgin Coconut Oil to detox?

My opinion about stevia is it helps you cut down on eating processed

sugars and artificial sweeteners, both of which are root causes of cancer.

Some cancer patients are sweets addicts, they won't admit it or don't

realize it.

Of course you can kill sweets addiction by doing Virgin Coconut Oil

detoxing.

OK I will look for that. This stuff is white.

Thanks,

It is all natural if you buy the actual green leaf and grind it

yourself in a coffee grinder. Do a search on " stevia " and I'm sure

you'll see previous discussions on it. Search on Bee's website as well.

==>. That stevia is $11.99 for 1.3 ounces, however at Mountain

Rose Herbs 4 ounces is $3.50 and 1 pound is $10.00, and at Wilderness

Family Naturals 1.1 pounds is $9.70 (all US $). You can order from

either company through their Ads (at the bottom of every page on my

website) and I will get credit for it:

Hi ,

Bee usually recommends the ground green stevia leaf that you can

generally find in the bulk bins at health food stores. Most other

stevia's have been processed with additives or fillers (like FOS or

Maltodextrin) that are not good to have.

that said, I use a brand called " JaJa Stevioside " from Emperor's

Herbologist. I order it online. It is a white powder that is extracted

from the stevia plant that has no additives and virtually no aftertaste.

I can almost guess that Bee would not recommend Lakanto. I looked it

up and it's made from a sugar alcohol extracted from fruits and corn.

Hi everyone

Can someone please tell me why the white powdered form of stevia

isn't allowed on the diet? I've always used this form & I can't find

any reason why it's bad in the files.

Thanks.

because it has been processed in some way to make it white and because

many of the brands of " white " stevia have fillers or additives in them

that are not good for you.

jackie

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Just to clarify. I think you might have read the message that said

that if the stevia has maltodextrin in it, then it's a no-no. It's

the maltodextrin that is not allowed.

If the stevia is white and doesn't contain any additives then it's

fine. Just remember that it has been processed.

Hope that helps!

+++Hi Colleen. Please be careful whose messages you read. As it

states in my candida article some candida sufferers cannot tolerate

stevia. It is okay to have if you tolerate it okay, since it is taken

is tiny amounts only, and if you get " real " stevia which is the ground

up green leaf, and not a processed one.

Bee

[Guest guest]

Yes, you need to test it and see. I know if I put stevia in something, I start

craving it like it contains sugar and I feel like a drug addict. I did the

Pumpkie pie custard and I ate the whole thing throughout the day (it's only

spaghetti squash, butter, coconut oil, eggs, spices and stevia), but I could not

control myself. I don't feel any die-off or hangover feeling like when you

cheat, but still, that feeling of not being able to control myself about

something is a sign that my body does not tolerate that food yet, or that I am

not healed enough (physically and/or emotionally - my relationship with food) to

include it in my diet on a regular basis. It's all about awareness. I am baking

more custards right now as we speak since we have visitors tonight and they will

bring lasagna and cake (that I love) and I much rather have a couple of custards

than cheat. I could also be stronger and not have anything at all, but I choose

to have a little bit of stevia...

have a good taste or is it bitter and leave an after taste. I do want to try the

zucchinni bread but none of the stores here locally carry it. Is there a certain

brand that you recommend and where is it sold. Some kind of bread with butter

sounds so wonderful.

+++Hi Angie. I don't find the ground up green leaf tastes bitter or leaves an

after taste - it is so sweet you use very little of it.

complaint is the acne on my nose, upper lip, and chin area, I could absolutely

do no grains or nuts with reactions. That was just a little background.

Hi ,

Stevia is not evn necessary in the electrolyte drink.

If you choose to use it though, the green powdered version of stevi is the most

pure. Any that you find as an extract or that is another color (generally white)

has been somehow processed to make it that way. Always read the labels because a

lot of manufacturers add other ingredients that you do not want.

Hi Amy,

Because stevia tastes sweet, it can trigger your sweet tooth. I think this is

quite common for us, unfortunately.

You might want to back off on it to see if it lessens your cravings.

+++Hi Amy. Peppermint oil is highly antifungal so that is what is causing you

to have more die-off symptoms.

That's why it is so important " not to take " anything that is NOT included on

this program.

1/4 to 1/3 of a regular teaspoon of stevia (White Powder Extract Only) = 1 cup

sugar.

You don't need much.

Yes you can, but only a few drops. What are you making? If you're baking, you

probably need bulk.

+++Hi Roderick. I don't know what you mean by commercial form, since you should

get the " real thing " which is ground up stevia leaf that is green. You

shouldn't use any kind of processed stevia.

In the US ground up stevia is available at Mountain Rose Herbs in Eugene,

Oregon:

I can buy it from the bulk jars at my local health store.

> Hi Bee, I was doing some reading about stevia and read that it is great for

pancreatic and digestive function. Can you tell me, does stevia increase insulin

production in the pancreas? My pancreas is under alot of stress as I have EBV

but it is actually overactive, meaning it makes way too much insulin. Is stevia

something I should avoid or try?

+++Hi Sylvia. Stevia is a carb, like all of the others, since it is a plant

food. You would only have very small amounts of stevia anyway, and it is

extremely sweet.

It is impractical and not necessary to avoid all carbs, but it is important to

consume low-carbs according to your ratios of protein to good fats to carbs, so

ensure you calculate them:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods8.php

At some point your body is going to be switching over from running on

carbs/glucose to running on the high good fats, which is when insulin will

reduce anyway.

All the best, Bee
