> I just joined the group last night.

==>Hi Janet. Welcome to our group.

> I know I have allergies and have known about the candidia yeast

problem. I had it years ago but have been doing pretty good. But this

year I decided to loose some weight and used WW program. Well, I

bought their foods to use at work and now my yeast problem is out of

control. My face, again, has broke out with skin problems and my

neck. I lost 20 pounds and am 'stuck' there. I know watching my

intake will help give me the boost I need.

==>Allergies are very misunderstood by medical science because they

cannot see the truth since the allergy business makes them too much

money. See the article " Allergies, What They Are & How to Treat

Them " in the our Group's Files (left-hand menu) in the Folder " C)

Allergies " . Also see the Folder " C) Germ & Antibody Theories Are

False " .

==>The reason candida causes skin problems is because candida

produces over 79 different kinds of toxins, and along with toxins

from foods, etc. the body's best way of getting rid of toxins is

through the skin so that vital inner organs are protected.

==>There are no quick fixes. To cure candida it requires building up

the immune system so it will be strong enough to " make " candida

change back into the friendly organism it is supposed to be in the

body. That requires proper nutrients, which is diet plus

supplements, and cutting off candida's food supply, which is mainly

sugars and high carb foods (carbs are any foods not classified as

protein or fat). Also you can help your body detoxify - see the

article " How to Detoxify Effectively " in our Files in the Folder " C)

Treatments " . Also see the " C) Skin Treatments Folder, and others.

> What can I use on my face to help relieve the itching while I'm on

the program to help the inner part? All around my nose, eye brows and

forehead it's red, inflamed, flakey and itchy. I usually used

Nistatin cream but this time it's not working. I couldn't find

anything in the posts to help. Because I've been on the WW program

I've been watching my fat intake so i'm sure it'll take longer for my

body to get used to the increase in oils. I plan on learning alot in

this group.

==>Apply coconut oil to your skin, and after pat on some baking

soda. The good saturated fats, i.e. coconut oil, butter, lard, fish

oils, oil soluble vitamins A, D, & E, omega-3, etc. are all so very

important for overall health and they also cleanse the body, even

chelating out heavy metals. They also strengthen every cell in the

body and help them detoxify.

Don't fear the die-off. It's not a bad experience for everyone. I've

been on the diet for 4 weeks, and haven't really felt any different

reactions than before. I'm sure I'll get some die-off down the road,

but die-off is nothing compared to a bad quality of life you'll get

from doing nothing! :) In fact, I WELCOME die-off... please come???

The sooner the die-off, the sooner wellness begins.

==>Allergies are caused by a depressed immune system, which " in turn "

is caused by many things, but mainly: 1) lack of proper nutrients,

and 2) an overload of toxins from foods, drinks, drugs, medicines,

mercury fillings, body care and cleaning products, the environment,

etc. Also candida overgrowth is caused by a depressed immune system,

and it is common for it to occur during or after pregnancy. During

pregnancy a lot of the body's resources are used, which can deplete

nutrition for your own body.

==>You wouldn't " always have had " allergies IF they didn't show up

until after you were pregnant. Allergic reactions are simply healing

reactions that the body produces in order to get rid of toxins and to

clean up the body.

==>Allergic reactions do not " have to " include sinus problems. Skin

itching is caused by the immune system " trying to " deal with the

overload of toxins in your system. The immune system produces

histamines in order to get rid of the toxins.

==>Allergies are very misunderstood and misinterpreted by

conventional medicine and many holistic practitioners. The fact is

that " supposed " allergies are nothing more than healing reactions.

nerves and frustration. Sorry long, just needed to vent, not sure

anyone really understands what tortue this really is and my quality

of like sucks right now.

==>I understand how very frustrating this can be. Been there, done

that! LOL! It would be very wise of you to ensure your body gets

the nutrients it requires in order to turn your allergic/healing

reactions around. Only the body can heal itself! But it must be

provided with the nutrients it needs in order to do its job of

healing and maintaining health, which is what this program is all

about (mainly diet plus supplements). Also see the article " Foods

that Damage, Foods that Heal " , which is the 1st article here:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu1.php

==>I was " supposedly " allergic to many things before I cured my

candida over 20 years ago, but during the program my reactions

gradually decreased, and in the end I'm not allergic to anything,

except to toxins of course! For example, I got terrible rashes,

itching, and welts from animal dander. When my daughter's dog would

simply brush against my bare skin the reaction was immediate and

horrible, and being around dogs or cats gave me migraine headaches.

==>You can't go wrong following " nature's laws " by providing what

your body needs to heal naturally.

I hope that helps.

Welcome to Bee's happy healthy forum Sherri!

Be encouraged, you have come to the right place!

I too had severe skin itching that I suffered with for years, so I

understand

your frustration as NOTHING I did relieved the INCESSANT ITCHING! It was

SO unbearable and the itching was only getting worse as time went on.

I was almost at my wits end, when I discovered Bee's diet and began to

follow

her plan. Ahhhh...relief at last! It's been almost two years now that I

have been

totally FREE of all itching, which is truly an answer to prayer.

If I were you I would get started as soon as possible and be sure to

follow Bee's

healthy plan explicitly to get the best results and experience the

freedom of

an itch free life! You really can't go wrong. It's absolutely HEAVENLY!

Hope this helps! :-D

Thank you Bee and Debra for responding so quickly. Just spoke with my allergist

and he wants to put me on prednisone now, NO Way! My mom had to be on that for

years due to a lung disease and I know what it does to the body. I'm looking

over all the files, it's just a little overwhelming in my state of mind right

now trying to figure where to start.

Debra, I'm glad you found relief, I'm belong to another group here and there are

hundreds of people suffering right along with me with no relief. I will get

started right away. I didn't metion either that being in water when itching

just make it unbearable, so showering and swimming (my favorite) is like a

distant memory. I have to get doped up just to cleanse.

Thanks, Sherri

Hi Bee,

Is continuing my allergy medication, birth control, Byetta for sugar, Zetia for

Cholesterol (I produce it naturally even on very low carb and sugar diet), I

also have to take Synthroid, going to interfer with healing. I need the allergy

medicine when I'm having an itching skin attack or I will literally want to

scratch my skin off.

I think I'm starting to figure out where some of the toxins your body

is reacting to are coming from. :) How many total medications are

you on? Any others besides these??? (Including Advil, stomach

meds, etc...)

The answer is " yes " ... those meds will interfere with your healing.

They are part of your problem, not part of your solution. I'm not

advocating cold turkey, but you should ease off them just as you ease

onto the diet. Bee can answer about the synthroid, however.

After you read all of the files, you will understand why they aren't

a good thing... and you'll understand many of the things you have

been told by your doctor/tv commercials/magazines simply are not

true. (Cholesterol " facts " would be chief among them!)

Happy Learning!

I began having allergies at a young age. When I was 10, they took me

to the allergist for allergy testing, and discovered I was allergic to

everything. I did allergy shots for 3 years before quitting them. I

outgrew the seasonal allergies in my late 20's, and no longer need to

take antihistamines for that, or anything else.

In my uneducated opinion, one cause of allergies is too much antibiotic

use, as I did as a child. I believe the antibiotics lead to candida

(stage one), which progesses to allergies, and many other auto-immune

conditions over time. And I believe these conditions affect each of us

differently.

I know that predisnose is just about the worst drug ever invented, and

it led to a big downward spiral for me just over 3 years ago. I'm sure

if you follow the diet and supplements EXACTLY, you will recover from

your problem. If you follow it half-way, you won't. :)

Bee can answer your thyroid questions. She lost hers many years ago,

and has to take medication herself, I think.

Hi, I'm another Newbie.

I too have had Thyroid issues. In 2004, I was diagnosed w/ Graves

Disease. Was put on PTU till late 2006. When my Endo Doc declared me

'healed'! No surgery or radiation. He lowered my doses every 2 wk.s till I was

completely removed. Research showed that only very unusual cases are actually

cured this way. I can declare, he's a nut! I still show signs of elevated

Anti-thyroid peroxidase. As Bee states, keep on

testing if you want to try to eliminate it.

Everything has gone down hill since being off the PTU. Almost back to

where I was in 2004. Losing my hair (all over). Cracked bleeding hands

when exposed to water & cold. Tired! too tired to think or remember.

Thirsty all the time, difficulty swallowing. Easily bruised. Muscle

weakness. You probably already know most of the list. My main issues

right now, how to get rid of the Nail Fungus without the dangerous meds?

Thinking of trying the Oil of Cloves?

But other than the Thyroid meds, all the other info here has truth. I've been

living Low-Carb/ no carb, w/ high protein diet for almost 4 years now. My body

just stopped tolerating any of it in 2003. With the thyroid straight & diet. I

lost almost 80 lb.s. The weight loss was emphasized, because I had been warned

that I was in 'Metabolic Syndrome " . So I decided it was time to get serious

about losing those lbs! It helped my digestion, strength & over all body pains.

Also, stopped having Migraines. Yeah!

The supplements are already things that Thyroid patients should be doing any

way. From my investigation, the only thing I have concerns are over the salt

intake. And I hate to lose my Splenda! It's taken me so long to get used to it!

So maybe we can all help each other out. Good luck & look forward to

hearing more from you.

My advice would be to read the files on the main page. Then realize

this diet is totally incompatible with a raw diet. You must choose

which to do... continue feeding your yeast with raw, or defeating it

with this.

Dear Newbie!

YES, candida is linked to menthal health. I can attest to that. My

moods are much more even after I started the diet and my depression

and anxiety have almost completely disappeared. And I have followed

the program for only 1.5 months. I still have bad days (like today),

but the healing process takes time and, at least in my case, I know

that these will be last to go completely.

Ask yourself if you had self-confidence issues before candida. If no

then try to follow Bee`s program and see if they clear up as candida

dies off. If yes, perhaps you need to do some emotional healing (I

suggest CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) which is extremely

effective for emotional problems, it could help you through your

healing process as well. There are a few self-help books available.

'Feeling Good' by Dr. Burns is one of the best and I learned a lot

from it).

Best of luck!

Dear Newbie,

I also am new to this group (about a month). I strongly encourage you

to read the articles Bee sent to you when you joined the group. The

main one that explains the program is 45 pages long and has a

tremendous amount of information, and will answer a lot of questions.

A friend printed this out for me to encourage me to consider the diet!

Also, take time to absorb it, take notes, and figure out how you will

implement the plan, i.e., with what you will replace the foods you

eliminate and gathering your supplements before you need them.

Work to really understand about the fat/protein/carb ratios and figure

out how to change your current intake SLOWLY (I think I went a bit too

quickly, changing my diet to Bee's when I really didn't understand as

much as I should have). I used Fit Day (you can either do it online,

or buy it, which I did because I am on dial-up) for a couple of weeks

to figure out what I already was eating as well as how to use Fit Day,

before I started changing my diet.

It sounds like you have a lot of information to think about from the

Raw Food site, and all this new information probably is confusing. Try

to take your time as you sort through everything. If I've told you

things you already know, I apologize. You just sound like I felt a few

weeks ago!

==>Hi . It isn't that raw food is bad for candida, it's that

people with candida have poor digestion and raw vegetables are very

hard on digestion, and so are fibres (fibers). If you read the

articles you will understand.

Hi:

I am not sure if I belong here because I have not been diagnosed with

anything yet. About a month ago I went for a checkup with my primary

care physician & complained of being very tired. We did a blood test

and a few days later I got a call saying that my cholesterol level was

high & the doctor wanted to repeat a blood test in two months.

I also had some bacteria in my urine. I attributed to the bacteria to

several courses of antibiotics I had been on due to ongoing and

never-ending dental work. I ate low fat yogurt and cranberry juice

and had no problems. & I assumed the chlosterol wasn't too bad as it

could wait two months.

Last week, I visited my psychiatrist who took a look at those lab

tests. I also had a high TSH level (5.34 and the range on the test

is .4-4.50/mIU/l) and she was very surprised that my doctor had not

mentioned it.

So I went online and saw that I had some of the symptoms of

hypothyroidism, including lethargy, depression, decreased libido. And

I have read there is some link between high cholesterol & a

malfunctiong thyroid as well as dental problems???. I don't know if

this has any relevance but I also have a high number of eosinophils

(white blood cells.)

So, if you are still with me, any advice on what to do? As I am

typing this, my first thought is to forget about my dr. & find an

endocrinologist. Also, can anyone me to a Web site with accurate

information on thyroid conditions. I am having a problem trying to

figure out what is correct information.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm relatively new here, too. A couple of months ago I made kim chee. Then

fermented dill pickles from cucumbers and from green beans. Green bean pickles

with tarragon. Baby eggplants with oregano. Mixed veg pickles one jar with dill

and one jar with oregano. I've decided I don't care for the oregano ones. The

book, Wile Fermentation, is what got me started. Hoping to do more.

However, i'm completely new when it comes to everything else. I Know

this group is mostly on fermented food? So what are some of the key

things you guys eat/make here? :)

Hi, and welcome!

We've discussed a huge variety of things over the years. You

might want to look in the archives to get an idea. Pretty much

anything involving microbes and food ...
