Guest guest Posted July 28, 2000 Report Share Posted July 28, 2000 Mark, I hate to be the fly in the ointment, but I've been eating olive oil all my life. My family is from the old country and this is the oil they used. In fact, I get home grown olives from my family and eat some of these olives every day. I eat a few cloves of garlic a day (not the horseradish - it makes me overheat and flare), but I still have food flares like crazy with the usual suspects of vinegar, honey, avocados, raspberries,chocolate and others. I'm glad you've gotten great results from your regime and hope others can too. I just wanted to point out that it doesn't work for everyone. Take care!

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2000 Report Share Posted July 29, 2000 Hi Cesar, I have researched and found out how complex an issue that Candidia is. I have studied other Candidia diets and I know why they fail. Elimination diets remove the necessary foods for healing. Candidia lives on undigested food particles. You must eliminate it's food source by increasing digestion, speeding transit time and completely eliminate waste regularly. I will continue in detail about how predominate of a factor Candidia is in everybody's life and their health in the future. It is a very involved subject. I believe that if you use everything in my diet, especially large amounts of olive oil in the beginning, results will happen quickly. But using everything should be used in combination for best results. And I did not tell you that I have a sister in the Bay area. Maybe some day I will be out for a visit and we can have dinner as you suggested. Take care of your self, Mark Cesar wrote: > I have just been diagnosed with candida.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2000 Report Share Posted July 29, 2000 Hi Mark, It sounds like I do follow a version of your diet with the olive oil and garlic part. The horseradish doesn't agree with me or my skin. I don't eat junk food at all. I eat 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. As well, I don't eat any processed food at all. I eat whole grains and get my protein from beans, nuts(almonds and brazil nuts mainly), fish and some chicken. I eat one serving of hormone/antibiotic-free red meat a week. As well, I drink 10 glasses of spring water a day. I take Wobenzym N supplements (3 tablets), 2 grams of fish oil capsules, 500 mg. of Ester C, 600 mg. of grapeseed extract, and 50 mg. of a balanced B-vitamin complex daily. With all this, I still get a flare if I eat peanuts, vinegar, honey and the other usual suspects. I think my lifestyle is very healthy and I don't suffer from undue stress. I don't think I'm doing anything bad to my system. I don't smoke or drink. I don't take antibiotics. Some people like me may not respond to your regime. I'm glad it's helped some rosaceans. cea can be frustrating because what works for one person doesn't work for the other. Take care!

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2000 Report Share Posted July 29, 2000 Hi Matija, Olive oil is only a small part or factor in my diet regime. Everything must be done in combination. Just like a recipe, it can be modified and changed but all the most important factors must be involved in order. And these factors can easily break down a healthy diet, Stress- it can destroy enzymes and vitamin C, Food sensitivities- which make foods intolerable and indigestible, compulsive eating - an unregimated diet promotes poor digestion, Antibiotics and NSAID's- kills the good microbes and ruins the digestive balance, Exposure to toxins- over works the immune system and liver and will rob the body of minerals, Not chewing food completely- allows large particles of food to pass undigested slowing transit time and helping bacteria and Candidia to multiply and cause farther disruptions and deficiencies. With out the proper combination your health will never improve. For example vitamins without minerals are useless. You can have all the minerals and vitamins you need, but with out enzymes they are also useless. And you can have all the minerals, vitamins and enzymes you need, but with out microbes they can not be processed which makes the nutrients available to be assimilated. I believe that anyone that uses my program in it's entirety will see results and health improvement, but it will not happen over night. It will take several weeks.Every part listed in my program is a factor and has a reason. If you were to cook something using a recipe and left out half of the ingrediates what would you have? Certainly not what the recipe was intended to be. And if you did not cook it long enough? It is the same thing with my program, you have to use it long enough, not one time and when assume it does not work! Only those willing to put the effort in will see results. And if you do not try than you will never know. You have nothing to lose, only the posibility of regaining your health. That is the most important factor in every ones life.

It's not just anyone who will benefit from your diet. It will only be certain people who will benefit, because everyone is so incredibly different. I rejoice for those who will benefit from it, but feel that everyone should know that one thing does not work for just anyone. Thanks for the effort though, Cai ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and foremost we have to be careful to rule out any physical problems before we pin all of our hopes on a medication, a diet, a supplement, etc. Stomach problems are common with rosacea it seems, but mine are due to gallbladder problems. My doctor made sure I had GI tests just in case and I'm glad he did. Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 Hi Patty, I have been helping someone that I know personal with digestive and immune problems. She has been hospitalized a dozen times in the past 10 years. When I meet her recently she had just gotten out of the hospital and was told her gallbladder was only operating 10%, her Secretory IgA levels were very high and that they had no conclusions to the cause. She was been responding very well on way diet and personal guidance. One day she was in a hurry and went off the diet because she was late and in a rush. Within a very short time she became ill. A diet that is easy to digest with little saturated fats is healthy for impaired gallbladders. Best Wishes, Mark ny Greenbaum wrote: > It's not just anyone who will benefit > > from your diet.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2000 Report Share Posted August 5, 2000 Hi , I read the article and found it to be average information, some of it is valid and some of it not valid. The latest medical information about antifungals, as of April, 2000 states that three antifungals should be used in rotation for three months, and if not completely effective then continued. They are Clotrimazole, Fluconazole and Kettonazole. Each one has been proven to kill 85 to 95% of candidia in tests, so they think that a rotation will kill them all. Only the candidia in the blood is affected and the precentage that is not killed will mutate, become stronger and unaffected by the drugs. Candidia has three stages, the first is harmless and in a alkaline state, the second is becoming dangerous, looking for cell wall deficient organs as with the digestive organs during increased intestinal permeability, and is less alkaline in this stage. Both these stages can survive in the blood and are in the bacterial state, the third stage can not survive in the blood. When the second stage of candidia finds a cell wall deficient organ and lodges in position it begins change. The third stage becomes a fungal microorganism and needs an acidic environment which it creates in it's position. There it is completely unaffected by the drugs in the blood stream. As long as there are large amounts of undigested food available it will thrive and continue to multiply. I have found that improving digestion and speeding transit time will starve candidia slowly, along with adding a correct mineral balance which will increase cell wall integrity and stop candidia penetration. If you go to the archives you will find my diet part1 and 2, and there some other articles about candidia. Read it over and I will answer any questions that you have.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2000 Report Share Posted August 6, 2000 Hi Darlene, When candidia is in the third stage and is in a fungal state it needs an acidic environment to thrive, but it has also lodged it it's position. And it creates the acidic environment in the surrounding cells. It can not survive in the blood stream because it is alkaline. Only the first two stages that are in the bacterial variant form survive in the blood. And the body ph is confusing because the saliva and stomach are acidic, when the food leaves the stomach it become neutralized and is alkaline through the intestinal tract. The urine ph can change by the foods that you have eaten. The blood is alkaline. I have not had my blood tested but I can tell it has changed. It is now a very bright red, it used to be much darker and would turn brighter red as it was exposed to air. So I believe that it is carrying more oxygen to the cells now. My diet with more green vegetables and olive oil will increase digestion and transit time. Candidia lives on undigested food particles. Proper digestion will starve candidia with all the food being digested and eliminated timely. And with all the necessary minerals, cell wall deficiencies that allows candidia to penetrate will not occur. It all comes down to balancing digestion and supplying all the needed nutrients.
