a small nozzle with a faucet and a bigger nozzle. I guess you can put

the bigger nozzle instead of the smaller one, which way is the more

comfortable, I guess. With the small one it'll take longer to get the

enema in. The faucet works just fine. I suppose the faucet comes in

as close to the body as possible. I got a bottle of hydroperoxide

with it, to clean it later on with a 50 percent solution.

==>What you bought is an enema bag, which may be more difficult to

use than the bulb syringe, because the bag needs to be hung up at a

level higher than your body in order for it to work on gravity. Like

I stated in the information on enemas the bulb syringe is much easier

to use. So I hope your first experience using this device does not

turn you off to doing enemas.

==>It is not necessary to take anything to loosen stools before doing

an enema. But do follow the directions in the Enema Folder

carefully - you always clean out the bowel first by doing a plain

water enema.

Is this a good sign? Sometimes it will be green and loose.

==>This is common when you change your diet. Green loose stools

indicates your body is getting rid of toxins.

==>That depends upon what you were eating before. If it was foods

not allowed on the candida diet, eating any of them will cause more

severe reactions because the candida goes into a feeding frenzie

because you are starving it, so it overgrows like mad. Once you

change your body over to the diet you can't go back to eating things

that are not allowed on the diet.

itches a bit under the skull. It feels like it's bruised at some

parts of my head, just under the hair. Very strange. I've had that

before, about a year ago I guess.

==>Hering's Law of Cures states that your body will go backwards

through every single symptom, illness, disease or injury during the

healing process, so you will re-experience them.

==>What level is your next step? If it is adding antifungals, you

would add them when you are totally following the diet, which

shouldn't take much more than a month. If you are experiencing

severe die-off symptoms (flu-like symptoms) stay on the diet longer

before adding antifungals (other than coconut oil). It depends upon

how severe your symptoms are, and whether you can function okay or

not. I had to stay on the diet 6 months before I could even think of

adding antifungals, and even then the die-off was severe. But

because I lost my job I pushed through it anyhow. Sometimes it is a

matter of pushing through and starting on antifungals - even taking

time off work.

Hi Bee,

Yes, you could be right that I'm not eating enough. I'm eating as much

olive oil, coconut oil, eggs and meat as I can. Also a lot of fat fish

and other fish and shell food.

I love fish, and I eat a lot of tuna and salmon with the homemade

mayonnaise, in which I put also coconut oil. I find that the easiest way

to take in the good fat. I like mayonnaise, and I have adjusted real

fast to this new taste. It's not that different after all. I gradually

increase the intake of fat, since I have had difficulties with that

before. Even thinking of taking more of it makes me sick, but I do eat

it a fair bit. As much as I can without forcing myself.

I will try the enema set, if it's not what I like, I'll get another one.

I'll ask for a bulb syringe then. It's the feeling in the intestines

that I'm most afraid of. They have been fairly sensitive over the years.

I've had times I would get severe cramps after eating gravy, and would

have diarrhoea immediately after a meal that was too greasy, especially

with gravy from butter. I changed to melt my butter instead of frying

with it in large quantities. Also I have had diarrhoea for nearly a

year, which gave me the creeps. I started loosing my hair and all, and

the doctor didn't seem as alarmed as I was. I now understand what it

must have been.

I will read the instructions for an enema a few times before starting

one. Also I will have to reread the files on the adrenal glands. It

still hurts from time to time. I think I do need the extra rest. It's

boring, but I give myself as much sleep and rest as I can. I don't feel

lazy anymore, I know now it's something I have to do for my health.

I was wondering already if I ate enough. So I changed from two soft

boiled eggs in the morning to two. At first I thought I wouldn't be able

to eat it. I'm trying to increase the amounts of what I eat, and eat an

extra time in the day.

I don't like meat a lot, and I have bought a lot of fresh fish today so

I can eat to my heart's content without getting sick of it.

I like my veggies better than I used to, I had changed that already a

few years ago. I put a lot of butter on it, for I really love dairy

butter.

Today I got some goat's yoghurt in the health food store. I ate it with

a little bit of salt and lime juice. It tastes really good, it's organic

and it didn't give me the effect I experienced with goat's cheese. I do

find it hard to eat enough.

I'm not addicted to high carbs, but I find it difficult to live through

these moments of relaxation that would be accompanied by a cooky, some

crisps or chocolate.

I do believe you can get addicted to high carbs. You are addicted to the

adrenalin/serotonin rush. It all started when I was in a bad

relationship that left me sad and craving for sweet things every time I

would be left home alone. It got into a bad habit to resolve that with

sweet things, just for the sake of the serotonin levels. I really had to

go let that go slowly. I was fairly sick after I stopped the

relationship. Mentally I felt not that bad, but my body was in a bad

state. Acupuncture helped a lot in that period.

When I was in that relationship I found it impossible not to eat sweet

things. It was hard to run away from it, but gradually I improved my

will power and when I had delivered myself from this addiction (the

relationship) I felt stronger.

My next step will be antifungals. I have oregan oil ready in the

cupboard. I will wait until my head clears up. It's not that bad, but

it's likely to get worse if I do it too soon. Thanks for the

explanation. It makes sense, Herring's Law, because my last illness was

a sinusitis.

Maybe it will be a good idea to start on antifungals some time during a

holiday. I'll have to be more patient.. I have been eating not too bad

before. I'm fast sugars and starches free for two and a half year now.

I have eased down a bit on the garlic, I will do that in phase two as

well. I love the lemon salt drink, and when I think I deserve a treat I

put lime in it, which has a softer taste with more subtlety.

I'll have to start looking where I can buy the ' gros sel' here that I

got from France last year, for I'm using it up fairly fast. I don't know

when I will be able to travel again, I'm so tired at times. But that

will be better when I can eat some more.

Today I bought large and smaller shrimps, fresh sardines and some white

fish. I just love fish and shell food, I get it not too dear at the

market in town. My kids love it too.

Thanks, Bee! I'm understanding it all better bit by bit. I'm well

educated, and I do read a lot, my English reading is good as well, so

it's not that it's too difficult it's just that you have to digest all

the knowledge that are in the files. You have to incorporate it into

your life as well. Make it your own. And see how it works out in daily

life. It just takes time.

Could it be my candida is not as bad as it was before (after child

birth) but that it was more in the intestines than and that it has

spread out more now? For some 12 years ago I would have cramps in my

tummy even after eating an apple, and now I don't even have that much

gas. The bloating is new though, since I had an inflammation in the

stomach and intestines that hasn't left me. It was due to work stress

then.

Enough for now!

Thanks Bee! I'm still learning, and I need my determination when I'm

hungry and tired.
