Re: Need some encourgement

[Guest guest]

Greetings Mark and big huge virtual hugs to you!

I totally understand what you are going through. I came to the

realization this past week that I have probably been ill my entire

40 years of life. Unlike some people of my generation, my mother did

not breast feed me. I was given the latest new-fangled baby formulas

which IMHO where no substitute for good nutrition I would have

received from mother's milk. I honestly believe that this lack of

early nutrition set me up for a life-time of immune system

deficency. My childhood was full of illnesses, hospital visits,

antibiotics.. my teen years were full of bad flu bouts, pnemonia,

unexplained aches in my legs (what they now consider Restless Leg

Syndrome) and migraines. In my twenties, I had two miscarriages,

extreme bronchitis almost every winter, and still plagued by

migraines. In my thirties came the depression, panic attacks,

lingering migraines, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Shortly

before I found out I was diabetic in my mid-30s, I started having

horrible digestion problems. I could no longer digest meat of any

kind, eggs occassionally made me ill, as did salmon. I was forced to

go on a total vegetarian diet, which I honestly believe made my

candida worse. I ate a low-fat diet because my doctor prescribed it

when he diagnosed me with diabetes. I was eating well over 180 grams

of carbs a day, approx 60 grams of protein a day, and only 25 grams

of fat a day.

I understand your despair. I understand the hopelessness you feel.

Before I found Bee's group, there were days that I felt like I was

going to die. I honestly believe that if I had not discovered Bee's

diet, in a few years I would be dead. Candida has debilitated me to

the point that I cannot go out in public without having panic

attacks, my blood sugar levels were not responding to the medication

my doctor had me on, the migraines and the depression were so severe

that I contemplated suicide so many times, and the constant fatigue

and brain fog forced me to stop working.

Today is my 17th day on Bee's diet and I am already noticing a

significant improvement on my health. I know this diet will work. I

have proof of it. Yesterday, I was unable to eat the sufficient

amount of fats, had too much protein and carbs because of a family

gathering and my body reacted badly (even though I didn't eat foods

that were no-nos on this diet). I had flu-like symptoms, fatigue,

brain fog, and mild depression. I am still recovering from that

today, but making sure that my diet is back in balance. I had to

inform my inlaws that until I have recovered from this, family

gatherings will not be wise for me.

So dear Mark, don't give up. Fight this thing because your life DOES

depend on it. Re-read Bee's diet information. Take it slow and work

your way up to intergrating the entire diet into your life. Keep

posting on here for support. You have nothing to lose by doing so,

and your good health to gain.

==>Hi Mark. I see you just joined October 24th, therefore it is

extremely important that you read my article " How to Successfully

Overcome Candida " thoroughly and carefully. You need to correct your

diet so you are following my protocols, particularly eating enough

good healthy nature-made fats and oils. I suggest you stop taking

the nystatin and probiotics and start on my diet, calculating your

ratios of proteins to fats to carbs per my article. See the 1st

folder in our files (left menu) for both my article and Candida, How

to Get Started. If you have difficulty with that, then do the 9-day

program recommended in our Digestion Folder. Get back to use with

any questions you have after you've read the recommended articles.

The best in health, Bee

P.S. I suggest you refrain from recommending things on this group

until you've read my main article which forms the basis of my group.

What you've been doing hasn't helped you so far, so you have nothing

to lose by trying this program which has worked for so many people -

see our Success Stories Folder.

Just wanted to tell him about www.fitday.com to help him keep track of his

foods. It has helped me a lot!

Thanks Bee, I have read much of the info you have up already. I am by

no means new to my condition though. As it was, I could barely feed

myself when I was at my worst and the probiotics are what helped to

save my life. So for stopping a tested method for my personal health

improvement, that is not going to happen. I have increased my fats in

the past year, and found it to be very helpful. I will go over your

files again, but you should also understand that every person will

react different, and has differing levels of infection, as well as

differing levels of sensitivities to any given method of treatment.

Therefore no one route will work for everyone and no one treatment

plan can be set in stone as " How to get better " . For instance as I

branch out and try some of your suggestions, my body is still not able

to tolerate them. I feel like I am going to live now and have a good

life and that is a 1000% improvment from where I started from a few

years ago fearing for my life on an hourly basis. So please dont

suggest that people stop doing the something such as this that may

have brought them back from such depths, it may be perceived as

egotistical. I've hit a plateau and adjustments will be made. But

asking for encouragment does not give an open door to tell me how to

turn my life upside down. I have tried stopping and weening off

probiotics, but my health just got worse again. I will continue to try

your suggestions, and I will contiune use things that work, for me.

Thanks,

Mark
