New here, diet question

March 26, 2011

Hi, my first post, have been reading for a while. I have chronic lyme and past

history of antibiotics plus steroids for lupus. Systemic candida flared in

November and naturopath put me on a rotation of herbals to treat for 6 weeks,

and a diet of mostly proteins and veggies. Things got better and eventually I

eased back into some carbs, but yeast is back again. I was put on diflucan for

a one-month period for systemic yeast about two years ago, which made me feel

better immediately. This time things are taking longer to get better. No

longer on abx, am rifing for lyme. I am confused about diet. Seems to be

differing opinions there. My doc says quinoa is okay because it is a complete

protein, other sources say no grains at all; I read some books that say to have

a bowl of miso soup every day, and others say to stay away from anything

fermented. Then I have the challenge of weight loss. I feel so weak. I lost

18 pounds in the 6 week treatment of this thing. I need to know if almond flour

is okay, and coconut flour? I have to find a way to keep my weight up and found

some recipes on-line for breads made with almond flour. Thanks...Naomi

Naomi, in the interests of saving me time as I am exhausted, I am going to

bullet my answers. I can give you real answers to a number of your concerns. [My

issue was systemic fungus, for 10 years. In recovery and finally making serious

progress thank God.]

I also am reposting a couple paragraphs that pertain to some of your

issues/questions below. (So I don't have to retype all of paragraphs, just take

the parts below that pertain to you. Be prob most of them anyway..)

IF your prob really is systemic fungus:

* you will do VERY well to get on our group member Wil's MMS/AOT (mentioned

below)

* it is natural, cheap and works to kill pathogens including systemic fungus

* it is the ONLY thing that has really worked for me in a decade

* (diet helped to curb fungal progress

* (but didn't kill it)

* the MMS/AOT kills the fungus, and

lots more

* Wil's website having his contact info is below.

--------------

* Re: grains. Don't:

* not even quinoa, millet, amaranth and buckwheat

* all grains including the above are high carb

* high carbs turn to sugar

* sugar feeds the fungus

* even now I do not do fruit except

* EVERY blue moon

* and NO high carb veges either

* they are too sweet and feed the fungus

* go to Dr Atkin's website and check the carb counter

* to see which veges are low carb and stick to those.

-------------

* What can we eat?

* veges--I eat mine raw mostly

* sometimes lightly cooked so still crunchy

* I eat enough meat, eggs, fish to " bind " the veges

* I do cultured milk--home done so has 12-14 strains of probiotics

* and NO lactose

* I do cream (yum--helps keep my weight on)

* I do olive oil first cold-pressed (also helps keep weight on)

* if do butter it's unsalted

* I take soil-borne organisms (from Wil)

* I take his colloidal minerals

* I use copious spices to make the food taste good

* and vary them as some are anti-fungal

* I take herbs for liver support; I take kelp.

The MMS/AOT also heals LYME. It heals a BUNCH of things...

...Fermented foods ONLY bothered me when the fungus was WAAY out of control,

BEFORE I got on the MMS/AOT..

Not recommend coconut flour or milk, or the coconut meat at all. It's VERY

sweet. However its OIL is loaded with caprylic acid plus 2 more acids that are

strong anti-fungals. When the fungus was at its peak in raging through my

system, the coconut oil on a regular basis helped a LOT. Also TONS of probiotics

helped; but now the fungus is being killed with AOT I can save all that money

and can do cultured milk which gives me my probiotics..

NOT recommend nuts at all UNLESS they are soaked overnight in warm salted H20 as

per Sally Fallon in her Nourishing Traditions. (Wil says no seeds/nuts at ALL.)

I have been off them altogether since committing myself to Wil's protocol oh, 3

months ago which is saving my LIFE. I do not miss the nuts/seeds. I love having

some sort of a LIFE again, and make the foods I CAN eat taste GOOD.

(The seeds/nuts have enzyme inhibitors. Wil refers to anti-nutrients in them.

Don't know if those are same as the inhibitors or not. But eating them UNsoaked

means the seeds/nuts are pulling nutrients OUT of the body!! My energy level

increased noticeably when I started to SOAK them first..)

The paragraphs:

Now that I am on the MMS/AOT, I no longer have the rumbling/gurgling response to

probiotics that I did! I also no longer have the *extreme* same reaction to

cultured milk/cheese that I did either! Obviously the fungus is indeed being

killed (by the MMS/AOT), the fungus which was the culprit all along. So, I can't

recommend Wil's AOT more highly enough either! ..It is cheap and natural; and

regardless of any other issues at play can help ANYone. (Just take it SLOWLY

like Wil says and you'll be FINE. :>)

Re: Wil himself (at bodyelectrician.com), he has overcome serious illness

himself and is seeing many people not just me, get well! He is highly

knowledgeable as a naturo healer, and *affordable!!* [He is saving me a ton of

money OVER products I USED to have to use that cost more and performed less!] I

can't recommend him enough! ..He has seen 3 of his patients get off dialysis

recently due to his care of them.. If anyone has the answers you need, I believe

Wil does!

I am glad you are a member of this group and are seeking the answers that you

need. Diligent seeking can certainly produce positive results!
