Hi Sue,

If you haven't looked into Hulda 's new book that could be a

great help. It's called, " The Prevention of All Cancers " and is

available at Amazon.com.

(preferably certified organic free-range), coconut oil, butter,

cinnamon, nutmeg and an small amount of stevia to taste. It is also

delicious and easy to make in a blender. See our Recipe Folder for

tons of recipes; under Drinks & Teas you'll find Bee's Raw Egg Drink.

daily and that would be 4600 mg crude herb in that daily dosage. Is

this what I need to take?? Did I get the right stuff? Also, the

other ingrediant is soy lecithin. Is that okay??

==>No that is not the correct kind; see the Antifungal Folder for

Oregano Oil where there is a list of brands and brand comparison,

with prices, etc. and websites. Do not start on antifungals like

oregano oil too soon per my article. After you are totally following

the diet and taking all of the supplements you can start on one

strong antifungal.

Scarlett, the explanation about " when " you start on antifungals is in

my article and also in " Candida, How to Get Started " which is also in

Hi Liz,

I'm not sure about whether or not it is safe to use the probiotic wiht

Maltodextrin for vaginal purposes. Borage Oil and Grapefruit Seed

extract are not recommended here as there are other things already on

program that would offer similar or better benefits.

If you're having issues with vaginal yeast it's really important to

continue with the program to clear up the yeast in your digestive

system. Plus you can use several other treatments for relief of your

symptoms. Please read through the " Vaginal Yeast Treatments " article

in the C) Women's Health Issues & Treatments folder at our group website.

I've gone the Diflucan route. It rids the thrush yes. But whenever

my immune system is impaired I find my thrush returns. But then goes

away as I get better. Guess it never goes away.

[Guest guest]

so what makes your immune system impaired?

High toxin load, low antioxidants especially glutathione and

selenium, dietary carbohydrates, and polyunsaturated oils are all

immune system suppressors. Malnutrition can figure in there too.

Because I could not afford a bridge I opted for a vinyl, removable

adrenals treatments recommended?

> 5. My doctor wanted me to take compounded hydrocortisone for

extreme adrenal insufficiency (I had no cortisol output during the

day according to the test). I reluctantly tried it for a few days

because I was feeling so miserable and it gave me great energy, a

lift in my mood, and my pain went away. But I stopped because I don't

want to take steroids even if they claim hydrocortisone is 'natural'.

Without it I am back to pain, fatigue, and depression. Could it be

that my headaches and backaches are from adrenal insufficiency rather

than die off? I know that depression can be linked to the adrenals

not working properly. Incidentally I also did not have swollen

eye lids when waking up while I was taking the hydrocortisone.

it with meals only and have plain salt water the rest of the time?

==>It is impossible to have blood sugar issues if you eat the

recommended ratios of " good " fats, protein and carbs on this

program. For now you might have the ocean sea salt on foods rather

than in the drink and wait until later to have lemons.

Vitamin C because it increases iron absorption. If I take 1,000 mg is

that sufficient?

Excess iron gets deposited in your organs and causes damage. IN the liver it

can lead to cirrhosis or cancer, it crosses the blood brain barrier and can

cause confusion, anxiety, depression and more, and in the pancreas it will

cause high blood sugar (regardless of diet), then pre-diabetes, and

eventually full blown diabetes (regardless of diet). It can also lead to

pancreatic cancer.

OK

==>Yes. Are you doing anything to lower your iron levels, and how

I was going in for therapeutic phlebotomies every two weeks for a while but

the levels are down now. Ferritin was in the 70s when it was last checked. I

just don't want it to go up again.

+++a, if you take krill oil you must take vitamin A and D in

addition to it - they work together with the fats in the body. You

can get halibut liver oil capsules that contain both vitamins A & D;

I buy Natural Factors brand.

+++It is possible, but adrenal insufficiency doesn't occur all by

itself. Other factors are involved. Overall my program provides a

number of things that help the adrenals including diet, supplements,

coffee enemas, dry skin brushing or rebounding on a trampoline, etc.

Detoxifying methods can also help the adrenals and also improving

digestion, etc. Everything on the program works together.

+++Yes I understand how excess iron causes serious problems. This

high good fats diet lowers excess iron by working with the other

nutrients, protein, oil soluble vitamins A & D, omega 3, etc. Again,

this program works if it is followed completely and accurately.

That's why I was asking about which vitamin D I need to take. I already have

and take Vitamin A separately.

> I stopped my hormone cream in January and I haven't used any pain

+++That's good. What about my other questions?

I sometimes take 5-HTP to help with the depression. I eat coconut oil but

still can only handle about 1 tablespoon, same with palm oil and butter, and

I also eat pork fat, chicken fat, lamb fat, olive oil, and turkey fat. For

protein I eat salmon, pork, lamb, venison, turkey, and chicken. I still have

a very strong reaction to beef which I can't deal with so I am not eating it

right now.

I am doing all those - been dry skin brushing for about 10 years - I do

coffee enemas every 4 to 5 days, I jump on a mini trampoline and/or jump

rope, take baths, etc.

+++Yes I understand how excess iron causes serious problems. This

high good fats diet lowers excess iron by working with the other

nutrients, protein, oil soluble vitamins A & D, omega 3, etc. Again,

this program works if it is followed completely and accurately.

My iron wasn't lowered until I had phlebotomies and that's when I was able

to tolerate 6 tablespoons of VCO and other fats. If this were true, then

this diet would be a cure for people with hemochromatosis.

+++Please provide the actual link my dear, or type out what is on the

Sorry - this should be the right one.

Hi a,

Yes, NOW Oregano oil is okay to use.

Bee

[Guest guest]

For us, it was CLO, I never heard her reverse a pronoun again after 5 days on

clo.

She did go through two days, at age 4 where everything was " she/her " and I

worried it was coming back. Like you I consistently corrected here and at one

point she told me she knew that boys were " he " and " him " but she didn't like

boys so she wasn't going to use those pronouns. Her first act of feminist

rebellion, I've marked it in her baby book :-) If only we could keep it that

way.

Make sure your boys aren't doing the same thing :-)

[ ] some questions

Can someone recommend a good multi-mineral supp? Also, which supps

help with pronoun reversal, etc.? Both my boys have trouble with she,

no one is a she, everyone is he in conversation, I correct them

constantly. They can answer she when looking at a picture, but it

comes out wrong when speaking.

I just read a post by that supps helped with pronouns which

supps can help, I'm missing something.

thanks so much.

+++Hi Traci. It's good to be in touch with you. The reason had

such problems going onto an all meat and fat diet is because it take

times for his body to switch over from running on carbs to running on

meats and fats. Two days certainly isn't long enough; for most

people it can take up to 4 months, if they can endure the symptoms in

the meantime. Some people do much better on all meats and fats when

they have candida since all carbs feed candida. But again there is

an adjustment time the body has to go through.

>

> Now however he is back to being severely fatigued again. Why does

it always go up and down? At the moment he is averaging about 2 fair

days a fortnight and 12 really bad bad days. His depression is

worsening because everytime he thinks he is improving he gets really

ill again. The depression is just awful. I think it would be better

if he knew without a doubt he was dealing with candida but everyone

tells us something different.

+++Even if doesn't have candida this program will improve his

health, no matter what. That is because it provides all of the

nutrients the body needs to heal itself naturally, along with

eliminating toxins, damaging foods and foods that feed all bacteria

as well as candida. Even cancer lives off of those same foods and

toxins.

+++The reason he is going up and down is part of the healing process,

which is how the body heals itself. Getting healthy is not a steady

uphill climb towards health where you feel better and better every

day; it has its ups and downs due to natural healing reactions. Also

during natural healing the body " retraces " every previous illness,

symptoms, disease, injury, medical and dental treatments and drugs,

etc., which is according to Hering's Law of Cure:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu1_1_2.php

+++So just when it seems he's doing better, and probably because his

body is stronger and more capable of healing, he'll get worse. That

isn't a bad thing however, even though it is quite rough and hard to

deal with. Remember that fatigue is also a healing symptom - see

this article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat10.php

+++ and you can understand more by reading Natural Healing

articles, which explains die-off/healing/detoxifying symptoms which

are under the term " Herxheimer Reactions " that are normal reactions

when healing naturally - read this one first:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal2.php

+++Then read some of these:

> massive gut infection which he was given round after round of

> antibiotics for. I am the only one who he can tell how bad he feels

> to because everybody else just tells him if he eats properly he will

> feel better!!

+++I think needs to stick to one plan, which is my candida

program, and maybe not try others, even the all meat and fat diet.

Since he is having a rough time right now I believe he should do the

9-Day Program: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig6.php

>

> Its really really hard on me seeing my poor hubby suffer like this

so badly especially the fatigue after being an athlete - I just wish

it was me instead. Also a lot of sites say that if you see no

improvement within a few weeks its probably not candida you are

dealing with - he has had no improvement in 3 months - what do you

think Bee?

+++I understand how painful it is to watch a loved one suffer. My

heart goes out to you, and too.

+++It isn't true that if you see no improvements in a few weeks its

not candida! Candida is only cured by building up the immune system,

mainly with " proper nutrients. " It cannot be cured by

simply " killing if off " like most people believe. It just doesn't

work that way.

+++Candida started in the first place because of a depressed immune

system, and it took a long time to get into such a poor condition, so

it takes a long time to cure it as well. It takes 1 month of natural

healing for every year of being unhealthy, which for most people

nowadays is since before they were born since they acquire a

depressed immune system from their parents.

Hang in there Traci. Read what you can so you understand more about

natural healing, candida and how it works, so you can help and

support . We're here for both of you so keep in touch!

Let me know how does on the 9-day program. He can stay on the

liquid and pureed foods diet much longer if he needs to, however he

should stop having the enemas every day after 9 days, and have the

enema only every 5 days.

I hope that helps.

The best in health, Bee

Hi Traci,

My heart goes out to you and . Hang in there. I know from

experience that we all have rough days. There are times that walking

up the stairs is tough but then I have days I feel fabulous. As Bee

states, it's an up and down process but underneath, I know that I'm

getting stronger.

This is the best plan I've ever tried in regards to immune health and

there have been so many success stories.

I've been on since Nov. 1st and my body still isn't used to burning on

fats but it is getting there. I find moderate exercise is helping me

now with this transition but it takes time. (I couldn't do it in the

first month and a half because I was too fatigued)

Hope that helps!

> Hello Bee and others,

> I have a few questions this morning. I was wondering if you could tell me why

my symptoms get worse with my menstrual cycle? I can always tell when it's near.

I typically get naseous, stomach ulcer pain, diarrhea, a constant headache,

pimples on my face and in and around my nose, swollen lymph nodes in my pelvis,

and the itching of private areas, etc. about a week before my period. Then about

a week after the burning urination occurs. This time I am experiencing the

terrible jaw pain ( I mentioned that earlier in the week)and terribly sore

muscles. These symptoms are a bit different for me but I'm sure it is my usual

candida PMS. Just wondering about the science behind it all? Why does it get

worse during this time?

+++Hi Heidi. Yes, symptoms do get worse because of hormones. I don't have time

to write about it now, but it is discussed in The Yeast Syndrome Book by Dr.

Trowbridge.

>

> Also, I am one of those who is experiencing the leg cramps every night,

several times a night when I flex my feet. This has happened since I began the

diet 54 days ago. (I started counting when I was completely on the diet and

supplements.) I have read your recomendations for others but am wondering what

I'm doing wrong.

> This is what I'm taking:

>

> Vit A- 10,000IU from fish liver oil (Country Life)(am only)

+++You need to take 20,000 IU Vitamin A, not 10,000 IU.

> Vit B complex 50 mg each vit.(Nature's Answer)(am & pm)

> Niacin-50 mg. (am only)

+++You should be taking niacin twice a day; in order to get less of a flush,

take 25 mg am and pm, by cutting the tablet, and increase it to 50 mg am and pm.

> Vit E-400IU (Country Life)(am only)

> Bioflavanoids by Natural Factors(before and during my period)both am & pm

> Vit. C (Now) I am at 3,000IU in divided doses

> Magnesium citrate (Now) taking 400mg a.m. and 600mg. p.m.

+++That's too much magnesium (total 1,000 mg per day, which should be 600 mg

total per day), which will cause cramps; take only 300 mg am and pm.

> 1/2 tsp eggshell powder (am & pm) I take it w/Vit. C

+++Measure slightly less than 1/2 tsp eggshell to get closer to 300 mg am and

pm.

> Also I am at 3Tbs. of CO a day and I drink the electrolyte drink usually once

a day and add more on my food. I am using Redmonds salt as it was the best I

could find at the time.

+++Heidi, you are missing cod liver oil, which contains omega 3 (EPA+DHA),

vitamin A, and vitamin D - see this article for details:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cod2.php

By not taking cod liver oil you won't be absorbing calcium like you should.

Imbalances, and too much of one over the other, in calcium and magnesium causes

cramps.

All the best, Bee

It's your brain sees the T added to your blood and stops sending the LH message

to your testis to make T so they stop working and the LH cells in your body and

brain stop working. To over come this we add HCG it acts like LH and keeps your

testis working and the LH cells in your body and brain. Here is a copy of a

post to me from Dr. about HCG to help me get my Dr. to let me try it. I

was on TRT 23 yrs my testis were the size of small grapes adding HCG they

started working again and went back up to there normal size. My TT levels on

HCG doubled this told my Dr. and me I am not Priamry I am Secodnary meaning my

Pituitary is bad.

Go to www.allthingsmale.com and read TRT: A Recipe for Success and the HCG

Update Dr. puts this on his site free for you and your Dr.

====================================================

He probably feels that since you suffer primary hypogonadism (I am guessing)

there is no use in adding HCG to your protocol. There are several reasons why

this is not so. First, you have not lost all Leydig cells, so any HCG you take

will stimulate those who still function to produce endogenous testosterone.

This will support testicular size. We should not ignore this aesthetic

consideration.

Next, if he reads my work, he will learn that HPTA-suppressed (as all TRT

patients are to some extent) also suffer decreased pregenenolone levels, which

is the first step after CHOL in all three hormonal pathways which begin with

CHOL. HCG increases pregnenolone production, and therefore restores a more

natural balance of our hormones.

Next, nearly all TRT patients who add in HCG to their regimens report an

increased sense of well-being and also libido. These are genuine quality of life

issues.

Finally, I just instinctively do not want all those LH receptors (including

those we have yet to discover and appreciate) unstimulated.

Hi All

I have some questions. My son Elijah has a diagnosis of apraxia. He will be 4

at the end of the month. No one has specified severe, mild etc. He goes to a

private speech therapist for one on one therapy 2 times a week for 30-45 min

sessions. He had speech through first steps from the time he was 2 until he was

3 and aged out. That is when we started the private one on one therapy. We

chose this because our insurance said it would be covered. He would have been

in group therapy through the school and we were told that Elijah would benefit

most from one on one. He has done so very good and has progressed so much in

the year he has been having the private therapy.

He has never been seen by a pediatric neurologist, developmental pediatrition,

or had a neuro medical exam. Does he need to? What is the Purpose? I will had

that I have requested an OT consult that is in the process of being set up

because I believe he has some mild sensory integration issues so our

pediatrition is having that set up.

Another question that may seem silly. Can I hold him back from starting

kindergarten until he is 6? His birthday is Oct. 27th so he falls behind the

cut off so that already gives us some extra time but if, when the time comes and

I do not feel he is ready that is great to know that is an option! Please let

me know.

I will also add that I take him to a preschool at our church one day a week and

he LOVES it. So he does have interaction with other children.

Thank you all so much for your input. This site has been such a blessing!

Thanks Again,
