Where do I start?

April 14, 2003

Pat, check out a book called Breaking the Vicious Cycle. It is similar to the

Atkins diet so you shouldn't have a hard time adjusting but it helps yeast.

Where do I start?

I started on the Atkins Diet, was doing just great. lost 8 lbs,

another 2 pounds, then gained 2 lbs, gained another 2 lbs. And I have

been staying on the diet very closely.

So I went back and read some more of the book. When I got to the part

about Candida, the whole list of indications for candida fit me.

Now I don't know where to start. I'm one of those people who just

wants to know what pill to take and get it over with. From what I

have been reading, there is no magic pill for this. Time for a

lifestyle change!

Prior to starting Atkins I had been just eating whatever I wanted,

lots of baked goods, breads mostly. After a vacation of two weeks of

eating our way to New Orleans and back I decided I really needed to

get some weight off, and stop eating everything that crossed my path!

But even though I have been adhering to the Atkins diet I am not

continuing to lose, but have started to gain.

The Atkins book tells me to avoid yeast and mold containing foods-

cheese, vinegar,soy sauce and other fermented condiments, mushrooms,

sauerkraut, sour cream, peanuts, cashews and pistachios, smoked and

cured foods, yeast-containing vitamins, wine, beer and spirits.

Now I am also wondering if some teas which may be fermented are also

suspect. What is the effect of caffiene on candida?

What I want to know is, besides avoiding these things, what can I do

or eat or take to aid in getting my system back into balance? What

are probiotics, which ones do I need and how much and where do I find

these?

Where do I start? And if I can't have vinegar, what do I make a salad

dressing out of?

Hi Andre,

I have a program that I followed to get my candida in remission that should be

pretty easy to follow. You can find out more about it here:

Hi Jacquie,

autismpedia.org has information written by parents on how to get

started in the biomed arena:

(http://tinyurl.com/Autism-Starting)

The main page has a link to a recovery story, that will be of interest

to you: (http://tinyurl.com/autismpedia)

Could you please post a bit of dental and medical history for you and

your child? How old was your son when you first observed the

regression? What is his level of functioning/symptoms. It would be

helpful to know about his diet, also.

Did you read the FAQs when you joined the group. There is a pretty good

explanation there of the protocol.

Hi Jacquie,

Your explanation is very helpful.

Firstly, I want to write that my child enjoys pressing his chin hard

into things. During hard chamber hyperbaric oxygen therapy, he would

often hit his chin. He also climbs on my back and pushes his chin

into my head (ouch!). Although highly speculative, I think this may

be a mild case of lock-jaw (tetanus), which has been lurking around

since he received the DPaT vaccine.

The chin punching has gone away with the use of an inexpensive, all-

natural anti-viral remedy called LDM-100. I think you could easily

hide this in his blackcurrent cordial. The chin pressing behavior is

still there, but it is reduced considerably. The chin hitting has

stopped.

(http://tinyurl.com/Will-Antiviral)

A more comprehensive anti-viral approach is given on this web site:

(http://www.stankurtz.com/)

With respect to the other behaviors, my 5.5 year old son is also very

similar. He is non-verbal, but has been learning little things

along the way. Interestingly, prior to his regression at 4, he was

an extremely clever, emotionally connected, chatty little guy. So,

we know this is not representative of his potential, as I am sure it

is not of Drew.

The self-restrictive diet behavior was a huge problem for us. After

3 months of agressive anti-fungal and probiotic therapy my son became

open to eating anything (and he still does). Flapping hands also

went away at this time.

Pangborn, the microbiologist who coauthored the book " Autism:

effective biomedical treatments... " writes that the brain works with

a " just-in-time " supply of energy. When the mineral transport,

nutritional uptake, and hormonal issues prevent proper energy supply

to the brain you have the loss of language. I believe that mercury

plays a huge role, but nutritional uptake is also disrupted because

of gut dysbiosis. Maybe the adrenalin seeking behavior helps to get

more energy to the brain.

(http://tinyurl.com/autismpedia)

Wishing you a FULL RECOVERY on your new biomedical journey with Drew!

Hi Jacquie,

Welcome to the group. You're in the right place. Comments interspersed.

Where do I start?

Hi Im new to this group and the whole biomed scene.I have an 8yr old

son with regressive autism and I would like to try chelation.

*Do you know what caused the regression? Have you stopped vaccines? Does he

have any mercury amalgam dental fillings?

I have

read lots about this recently and to be honest I still have no idea how

to begin.

*Order a DDI (Doctor's Data, Inc.) hair elements test and apply the counting

rules or post results here and group will help interpret. If you mention this

group they'll give you a discount.

It sounds quite complicated and I dont want to harm my son

obiously ,

*Keep reading, it gets easier the more you understand. Many of us chelate

without a doc because many of the docs don't understand how to do so safely. In

US ALA and DMSA are available without prescription.

so do I try to find a dr(I live in the UK and there doesnt

seem to be as much professional help available here)or do I attempt it

myself?I have read some protocols and am totally lost!I

*Andy Cutler's protocol is the safest and based on real science unlike other

protcols.

would be

grateful for any advice/suggestions.

Thanks for your time,

Hi Charlotte,

Welcome! We've all been where you are. Overwhelmed and not sure where

to begin. You should have been mailed some articles on how to get

started. But if not, please read How to Successfully Overcome Candida:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu2_8.php

There is a lot of information, but take is slowly and ensure you

understand all of the principles of the program. That article will

explain the steps you need to take to get completely on Bee's program.

Try to keep in mind that this is not a 'detox' program, rather it is a

program that works on building up your immune system so that your body

can heal itself.

The step one takes to get fully on the program (diet and supplements)

varies for different people, depending on how well they can tolerate

the die-off symptoms they get. For some people, they can get fully on

the program within a month; for other people it can take up to a year.

It's best to go slowly and not do too much at once, otherwise you will

overwhelm your body and it won't know how to heal.

Here is a list of the allowable foods on Bee's program.

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

Here is a list of the supplements

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp1.php

with a quick reference guide:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp7.php

But definitely read as much as you can so that you understand the whys

and hows. This program might seem overwhelming at first, but it will

become second nature to you in no time.

Good luck!

+++Hi Charlotte. Welcome to our group! helped you get

started, but I'll just add that the article Curing Candida, How to Get

Started is important to read, which explains how and why you go onto

this program slowly.

So as of Friday, after a visit with a Disorder Specialist in lubbock we recived

the diagnosis of Aspergers for our 10 year old son, First step I joined this

group for support and encouragement, but I am stuck on now what. I have spent

the entire day researching therapy and schools for my son, but I guess Midland

TX is not the place to find help, which I already pretty much knew, As I work

for MARC. Please any help on what to do next would be great!

Welcome to our group! What to do next is dependent on what problems you are having really. Problems in school? What kind? Usually kids with AS can have a variety of therapies to work on fine motor (OT) and social skill/language (ST) and social groups to learn how to socialize with others.

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

> Greetings, I have recently been diagnoised with candidas. I feel as though

I have suffered with this condition all my life and never knew exactly what was

wrong with me. Now that I know, I have been doing research online and it seems

that every webpage that I go to says something different about what I should or

should not do, eat or use. I am seeking suggestings from those who actually

suffer from this condition. What has helped and what should I stay away from.

I'm taking GSE and have cut all sweets from my diet. I have been drinking

plenty of water, eating lots of veggies and adding extra fiber. My body has

been feeling odd, I'm warm all the time and I have had a headache off and on.

Is this something I should expecT? Am I on the right track or should I be doing

something different. Thanks.
