Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 am now taking something that is grapefruit, lemon, lime, and orange seed extract. Nasty stuff, but we'll see if it's working next time I see one of them. Grapefruit seed extract is the worse tasting stuff in the world, but, ya know...the stuff really works to kill Candida. I'm sure the stuff you're taking is even worse tasting!! GSE is the best thing I''ve ever come across for yeast and bacteria related problems and I've tried a zillion things. Gloria.

Nasty stuff, but we'll see if > it's working next time I see one of them. > > Shari =========================== Hi Shari, Are you exhibiting symptoms of Candida? Are you using any oils and fats in your diet? To the best of my limited knowledge, and I could very well be wrong, an iridologist cannot ascertain that ones problems are due to candida or bacteria or what. They can surmise however. If you are using any fats or oils in your diet might I recommend that you remove them or severely limit them. Candida thrives on sugar and when you have a lot of sugar in your blood candida will be there to help clean up. If you are overrun with candida then you must have too high of a blood sugar level. This tells me that the sugar is not leaving your blood and getting into the cells where it needs to be. The major cause of this is fats and oils. They tend to congest the blood and make it very, very difficult for sugars to exit the blood and to be taken up by the cells. This puts a tremendous load on your pancreas as it has to pump out even more insulin to attempt to ram the sugar into the cells through the fats and oils in the blood. Just something for you to think about. You should not need to take any nasty tasting stuff to rid your body of candida. It will happen by itself once you remove the cause. -- Peace be with you, Shari. Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Nobody is free from it. You will never get rid of candida entirely either. If that is the only fats and oils in your diet then I would tend to believe that maybe there may be an error in judgement. Your body cannot be overrun with candida if you are symptom free. If you are symptom free then I really would not concern myself with attempting to erradicate something that you will never entirely erradicate anyway. Just my thoughts Shari and nothing more. -- Peace be with you, Shari. Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 There is a simple blood test that can be done by even the allopathic docs that will tell you if you have a problem with Candida. I would not rely on the iridologist or intuitive to diagnose Candida. It is estimated that 80% of Americans have Candida...not surprising as to what SAD does to American's health. Now Don, you are scaring me and confusing me regarding fats in the diet. Are you speaking of animal fats or ALL fats including vegetable fat? From all I know, which I admit is limited, you would be setting yourself up for death with NO fats at all in your diet. So be it if that is what you believe. I will disagree and continue to eat Avacados, one of the healthier foods on the planet....everything of course in moderation.

Remember that all these so called levels are the norm for sick folks who do not eat properly or healthily. If you cut anything cut back on the fats and oils. These are what keep the sugar in the blood instead of it passing through to the cells. Cut down on the avocados and eggs or the olive oil. A little fat in the diet goes a long ways. -- Peace be with you, Anne. Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
