Re: sulfur foods addicting?

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanne, thanks for your reply. I've tried the " conventional "

candida diet (lots of meat protein) many times over the years (first

time was at least 25 years ago when I was first " diagnosed " with

candida). It never did the trick, not completely anyways. In spite of

the anti-fungals and diet, I never got to where I actually felt OK,

and got past having food cravings. Of course, I knew nothing then of

the relationship between candida and mercury. Now I get why I have not

been able to overcome the candida given all the things I've done.

Especially as I've gotten older, my digestion has gotten worse and

worse. I do not digest meat and fat or complex carbs well at all

(although now the cortisol supplementation seems to be helping that).

This is a primary difference in Body Ecology vs. other candida

approaches, is that it recognizes that many people have highly

impaired digestion and do not properly digest proteins and fats

properly, especially meat proteins, and there is an emphasis on other,

more easily digestible proteins. It is not a high carb diet - the only

carbs other than low-glycemic veggies are small servings of millet,

quinoa & amaranth. But I couldn't really digest even those before. So

my diet was mostly fermented veggies, raw (or lightly cooked) egg

yolks, Body Ecology's " Vitality Green " (fremented grasses and

chlorella) and fermented coconuts, and some milk kefir. avacados,

sun-dried olives and soaked seeds and nuts, etc. But I was also using

lots of raw garlic, MSM, chlorella etc. Actually quite a lot of

protein, more than I previously ate. But the combination of the high

sulfur, and the detox effects of the very limited diet (not really

getting energy from the foods due to low cortisol) was almost deadly

(for me - slight exaggeration) I came to discover.

As it turns out, I think the candida is less of an issue that I'd

previously believed. I now view candida as a " secondary " infection -

the mercury poisoning is the underlying problem to correct, and

probably the source of my symptoms more so that the candida itself.

But similar dietary guidelines still apply (from Body Ecology), just

minus the sulfur foods and possibly phenols, not sure about that yet.

Doesn't leave much that I can eat, but this seems to be in alignment

with the conclusions Andy arrives at in his book. I have always been

extremely hypoglycemic - so even fruit is not a good idea for me right

now. But at least knowing what the issues are - if it really means I

can feel relativity OK - if I stop stirring up mercury in my system as

much as possible, it will be worth it!

I have sugar cravings. I think that's adrenal related. If I avoid

sugary foods totally it is much easier and I feel better.

When I went on the SCD suddenly honey was legal, and I had a tough

time with cravings, etc. Eventually I had to cut honey out.

The group is a very good idea. I am involved in too many groups right

now to be able to participate.

I would actually like to write a book about diet, with recipes. No

time for that either.

I used to have an aversion to sulfur foods, now can tolerate limited

amounts.

Sulfur foods and supplements actually feed yeast, and people on a low

sulfur diet have less yeast problems. (posts from Andy on the subject

can be found using www.onibasu.com if anyone is interested)

I can't get onibasu to load right now (maybe it is still down for up

dates?). When you are able to get www.onibasu.com you will find

Andy's comments using the key words andrewhallcutler, sulfur food,

yeast, or something like that.

There may be posts from Andy on the topic in Moria's " AndyIndex " .

If onibasu is down, the search engines in the chelation groups could

be used.

> as well as other literature.

For other literature you would have to ask Andy.

The simplest thing to do is if you have a *confirmed* yeast problem,

try a sulfur food exclusion diet for a period of time, and then go

back to eating sulfur foods. Repeat this cycle several times to see

if you notice a difference.
