RE: Re: After a bad flare, ever had the foods you tolerate change?

,In my experience, Oil of Oregano is a very powerful agent. It can be used topically and internally. I actually used it with great success to get rid of a pesky skin tag. It went away in two days, but be forewarned, you need to dilute it in olive oil if you are using it topically. This will burn like a mother...Internally, you should hold a gulp of cold water in your throat, then drop it in so you don't feel the burn. You will notice a die-off the first few days, most likely due to bad yeast dying off. Also, I never used it more than 10 days straight. I have heard of others using it longer, but too much of anything can be bad. Good luck.

"try asking some other members about natural antifungals like Oil of Oregano. I feel like that really helped me when I first needed to get everything under control."

I'm pretty interested in Oil of Oregano actually. But don't want to start it until I know more, esp from folks on this list. So if anyone has any info, I'll definitely be listening. Thanks!

Hi Kat,

You mentioned you are eating commercial applesauce which is not

advisable. It is so simple to make your own (other than the peeling!). Peel,

core & chop, add some water in the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking,

cover & simmer for 20 – 25 minutes. Then mash to desired consistency.

Homemade tastes a million times better than commercial. Plus you can vary the

taste using different varieties of apples. And by making your own you know exactly

what ingredients are in it.

Cabbage is very fibrous so you may want to hold off on eating

that until more healing has taken place.

Chicken soup (next time with just chicken -

right now I use cabbage,

which I think may agree with me OK)

Applesauce (just a little bit in a day - too

much and I get burny stuff/smell it on the way out, I only buy the kind where

apples are the only ingredient)

If you think you need

electrolytes, theres an SCD recipe, and people on the list also suggested

substituting magnesium and potassium for baking soda in the recipe, or

just buying e-lyte, a sports drink with no sugar. I just googled it and

got some info - so far can't find it anywhere though.

Regrettably, the only way to get the E-lyte is to order it from

Body-Bio.

It's not cheap, but I will say that while I don't dilute it anywhere near

as much as Kim does, the concentrate lasts quite awhile.

> Yeah, I was doing that but simmering for 1 hr (like I do all my food) to get

it really really mushy. I ran out of time with schoolwork, so I got excited that

I could eat one store-bought thing. I get the same burny feeling from at-home

apples as store-bought applesauce. Pears don't do it, so I'm not sure it's the

fructose.

>

pears have more fructose than apples so definitely not. could be yeast though.

according to Dr. McCandless, yeast don't like pear sugar.

> Do apples make the body more acidic? As opposed to other acidic foods that I

have heard make the body more alkaline?

> Thanks for the tip. I know cabbage is fibrous too. I just ran out of veggies

to eat after eliminating some because of yeast. Cabbage comes out not smelly,

formed, and w/o pain or burny feeling, so I figured it would be okay in small

amounts. I've stopped it for a while till I get the flair under control though.

If you are okay with it, then you can eat it.
