Moving Thoughts

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so

that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful

for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so

long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for

us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,

never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best

conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also

true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you

back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart

but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get

a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but

it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades

away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to

make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to

pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to

be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you

want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you

strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it

probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they

just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness lives for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched,

and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of

people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a

kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a

forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past

failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live

your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone

around you is crying.

Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those

who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile

when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of

things when you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that

you appreciate their friendship. And if you don't, don't worry, nothing bad

will happen to you, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten

someone's day with this message.

I bought some stevia powder from the health food store...and I use it to sweeten my herbal teas...that will help some...I fight the urge for sugar all the time too...it is so hard

<Do you (all of you) have any suggestions? I feel desperate at this point and this sugar binging is destroying my body. My bowels are messed up, I'm depressed, I have heartburn (another case for not eating meat) I cannnot seem to stick to one way of eating... Thanks for your input.... I'm thinking that all this cayryilic acid, all these herbs I'm wasting my money because I keep going back to the sugar... >

[Guest guest]

Hi there

Perhaps you first need to look at why you are craving sugar all the time. We all have periods that we crave sugar, but I think its unusual to want it all the time. Do you think its more your brain telling you this or your body? You could try taking Chromium which levels out your blood sugars. Try having small snacks every two hours or so, to keep your sugars stable. Meat doesn't always give you indigestion =, unless you are eating it along with starches. Try eating chicken and a salad. I tend to get indigestion if I eat too much meat, or combine it with the wrong food combinations. Too many grains would make your blood sugars even more unstable.

Try having say - porridge for breakfast (rolled oats) with soymilk and stevia (stevia will seem sweet and this might help).

Lunch - have carbs like potatoes/rice/millet/etc with a salad.

Tea Chicken and salad or Felafel and salad.

I snack on hummus and corn chips (unflavoured) or cream cheese (limited) on Ryvitas - I do eat nuts as they don't seem to bother me. I also have liquorice and lemongrass organic tea. This is really sweet and pleasant, and liquorice helps to stabilise blood sugars. This curbed my craving for sweets. Look, I know some might disagree here, but the odd cup of sweet tasting herb tea is better than plunging into the biscuit tin.

I try and balance what my body tells me, and survive this diet and disease at the same time. I also pray when I feel weak, as the Lord said that when we are weak, He is strong. Works for me! Its just hard remembering God when the biscuit tin calls...... but I have been behaving again for 3 days now. Finally back on track after the 3 day ordeal. It was a lesson well worth learning. I cannot cheat, I just get sick very quickly.

Hope this helps anyway

Love

HI, I was just diagnosed with candida, and am having trouble with my sugar cravings--more intense than I've ever had them because of the overgrowth. I'm not sure what diet to go on--I feel so out of touch withmy body that I don't know what it wants. I would either like to go on a macrobiotic diet (but maybe that is too many grains--I feel triggered even by too much brown rice or millet) or on a Eat Right For Your Blood Type diet, but I'm afraid that eating too much protein will cause sugar cravings and exacerbate my constipation. I want to heal my candida and heal my whole body, and I'm afraid that eating animal products will counteract the healing. I have a perception that only eating vegan or mactiobiotic will heal my body on a cellular level. Do you (all of you) have any suggestions? I feel desperate at this point and this sugar binging is destroying my body. My bowels are messed up, I'm depressed, I have heartburn (another case for not eating meat) I cannnot seem to stick to one way of eating... Thanks for your input.... I'm thinking that all this cayryilic acid, all these herbs I'm wasting my money because I keep going back to the sugar...

Christel,

I got a lot of that out of me too during the last month of the Awareness cleanse. It looked like jelly fish type things. When I asked about it, was told it was a type of parasite. I never found a picture of one to identify exactly what parasite it was. I got a lot of them though and they seemed to come out in large numbers at a time.

sugar free candy??

is it realy sugar free?

anyone eat this, or is it a no no

i got a sample of stevia, i think it is great,

how is it in baking.

Donna Jean

I couldn't eat sugar free candy b/c I'm sensitive to artificial sweeteners.

However, I only tried the candies with nutra-sweet, aspartame, etc. I

didn't try any with Stevia (if they have such a thing) or anything like

that.

Thanks Lori

It would be good to minimize salty and high-fat snacks. Prednisone use can present problems with high-blood pressure, water retention, and obesity. An adult with liver disease should have a maximum of 1500 mgs a day. People with severe liver disease run into serious problems if they have too much salt. Best to establish low-salt habits for as early as possible (easier said than done, I know!)

Hello Lori

It had been my experience since starting

prednisone,any time I eat very salty foods (ie)movie

popcorn and chips , I have swelling in my

feet,ankles,hands.Im sure its all over my body but

these are the places I notice.It takes days for it to

go away so I do try to limit salt intake.I would ask

the Doc about since she is so young.

Ann AIH 4/1/01 pred 25mg imuran 100mg

Ps I do drink lots of fluids (water) to help flush

away toxins.Soda pop is loaded with salt also

Mog,

I feel so goofy -- I missed this note of yours back in

Sept., but I am CATCHING UP -- going to stop a lot of

my other e-mails so I can focus on this group. I

think that I need to focus on the spiritual side of my

healing more. I am learning about fear and really

soul-searching as to how that might be hindering my

receiving my healing. I will keep you and everyone

posted.

I just wanted to say that I was a singer in a southern

gospel group -- The Gospel Revival! It was a very

small deal -- we sang in very small churches and did

some bigger concerts with other groups -- one of which

was my FIRST and I had stage fright and FORGOT AMAZING

GRACE -- the words!! What a trip -- can't help but

laugh now -- even then -- nothing else could help!

I hope you had a blessed time on your trip!

God bless you and everyone on this group. I

appreciate the prayers so much -- revisiting the

letters of prayerful encouragement means so much to

me. I plan to keep them to show me how far the Lord

is bringing me and how I got here through his grace,

mercy and YOUR prayers!!

Thanks sisters!!!

Love,

Carolyn (Your very aggressive fellow candida

I agree also, I read an article that said massages have proven MORE effective

in various back problems than even chiro. But I still wouldn't give up the

chiro, I would use both.

Gena,

I'm out of the loop, so if these things have been mentioned, please

forgive...just making my semi-annual pilgrimmage. >G<

Have you tried vaginal douche with diluted grapefruit seed extract?

Your symptoms might be sexual-contact related. This substance is

quite effective for vaginal yeast, and it can at least reduce your

partner's contact with the organism, which can be passed back and

forth, making it hard to eradicate. Just a suggestion.

Topical Australian Tea Tree Oil (not ingested) may also help the

external affected areas. Hope this helps.

I for one was not the least put off by your questions and comments. If you

don't ask, from all perspectives, how do you learn. And if no one questions

and puts another thought in your mind, you're in the same rut here as you

are with the docs who push drugs. A conversation is a two way street, its

not an attack, its another point of view.

Zocor destroyed my brother's liver. He passed away in November. I can't

understand why such a drug is so freely handed out.

[Guest guest]

Hello kimn01@...,

In reference to your comment:

è What is the general medical purpose for zocor?

Well this drug is used to lower ones cholesterol, but.....the side effects

are horrid, and you have to have blood taken every other month or some docs

say once every 6 months to monitor your liver.... in other words it can reak

havoc on ones liver.. and if you have had any liver problems at all this drug

or any like it are not for you..

Milk Thistle is a great alternative.. taken in high dosages in a tinture ....

takes longer to work but.. no side effects

Most hyperthyroidism has nothing to do with the thyroid gland! The thyroid

gland is reacting to exhausted adrenals, so you may/probably need adrenal

support. TSH is not a good way to treat patients, especially once they are

on thyroid meds. You might want to find a doc who knows more about

thyroid/adrenals and other medicines besides T4 only. Here is good info

I wish i could help you. I know that a few months ago i was having bouts of

irregular heartbeat followed by blackouts. It was totally random and i still

havent put a cause to it but the symptoms that I had prior to hitting the floor

started with feeling very cold inside, then fast heart rate, then feeling

extremely dizzy, feeling warm now, then loss of vision, and next thing i know im

on the ground with a headache. The only thing i can think of to cause this is

possible dehydration as I seem to have a hard to holding onto water. I wish I

could help more but im in the dark as well.

I have

had irregular heartbeats and shortness of breath.

It is worse when I eat (sometimes) and when I try

to sleep, also I often awake around 4am with increased

I have been through the gamut of heart tests, pulmonary

tests are nearly completed with nothing found, and am

preparing to see an allergist just in case. Had a cortisyn

stimulation test. My endo said if I had adrenal problems

my bp should have elevated, instead it went very low,

the diastolic going into the 40s and other symptoms that

looked like heart attack turned out to be a gastric reaction

to the cortisol injection. I'm in a small town, the endo is

The irregular beats have been picked on several tests

and I wore a heart monitor for a month and it picked

them up almost continually, all hours and situations.

I have done some reading on postural hypotensions and

postural tacchycardia. Those can be related to dehydration.

Any suggestions or thoughts that might help me through

diet or supplements. OR any ideas what might be going

on?

I have had some extraordinary events during this time

that have been stressful but the pending diagnosis of

things that probably very few go through and yet no

So I am not ready to be labeled without finding out

Hi Marge,

I have just researched a lot about paleo diets and similar, and drs.

Eades say in their book " Protein Power " that after going on a low-carb

diet, in the beggining the body is losing a lot of excess water and

with it minerals or something like that, so they urge people that they

take potassium supplements up to 400 mg per day for a few months. And

it is known that a lack of potassium can cause irregular heartbeats!

Also, they recommend magnesium strongly for most people, but you

probably know this already... Balance between cal/mag is important

though most people are deficient in magnesium after the SAD diet.

Hope this helps,

Jana

==>Minerals are very important for stabilizing irregular heartbeats,

so hopefully you are taking ocean sea salt, at least 1-1/2 teaspoons

per day. You would probably benefit by taking extra minerals from a

good collidial brand like ConcenTrace from Radiant Life:

www.4radiantlife.com, or Organika organic colloidal trace minerals:

www.organika.com - take 10 drops two times per day.

==>Also ensure you are taking all of the supplements recommended in

my article - most are very important for irregular heartbeats, and

that you are eating enough saturated fats according to the ratios

recommended in the Candida Diet folder - the heart prefers saturated

fats which also gives the cells integrity and strength. Red meats are

important too, for B12, and other heart nutrients.

==>You do not have to have full-blown anxiety attacks for your body

to operate on the fight/flight system, which is the sympathetic

nervous system, that causes irregular heartbeats, shortness of

breath, etc. See the article " Adrenal Malfunction and How to Improve

It " in the Treatments Folder, and also do breathing exercises in

the " Breathe Properly - For overall health! " folder, and also in that

folder see " Breathing Through Your Nose " and " Nitric Oxide - the New

Hero of Human Biology " which explains how important nitric oxide is

for the heart, which means breathing through your nose - humming

increases the production of nitric oxide in the nose.

==>I wouldn't recommend seeing an allergist because most of their

tests are totally inaccurate, and they use the wrong substances -

often non-organic foods that are loaded with pesticides, etc. - also

know that healing reactions are not allergic reactions, especially if

you are eating unadulterated foods on this diet - find out more in

the " Allergies, What They Are & Treatments " .

I hope that helps.
