????Am I reading this correctly? It sounds like they are saying

that a natural cure for PPD is to give someone this Inolitol that

will help increase yeast. Could there be a link to the pregnancy

causing yeast problems (I know that is true) and that after the baby

is born you might go through die-off causing increased chance of

depression. Sooo, give them this " miracle' cure to help grow the

yeast/fungi to help with the depression side effects OR give them a

candida euphoria. --- My brain is just on overload. This is what

the paragraph above sounded like to me. Nothing that I have any

research on, just what struck me about what was written. Any

thoughts?!?

LOL. i understand what you are saying...although i don't think it is

quite like that. From my understanding, the yeast " eat " the inositol,

and so people with a candida problem are often deficient in this

nutrient, which can cause depressive tendencies. I did not know that

yeast naturally increase during pregnancy. That is interesting about

the die off. I guess your logic could be correct. love to hear what

people say.

==>Hi. Is your name Suzanne? Do not be concerned about whether

candida eats B vitamins like inositol, it also feeds on any and all

carbs, and to a lesser degree on proteins and fats. But you can't

avoid everything in order to starve the candida. Besides, that's not

the point of this program. Yes, you cut off candida's food supply as

much as you can but it is impractical to cut off all of its food

supply. The fact that this program works for so many people is proof

enough that B vitamins aren't hurting anyone.

About anemia, one of our members' iron levels rose from 4 to about 64

in 6 months without doing anything but this program. If you search

the message archives you can find her message. It appears as if this

program helps the body balance so that even anemia is cured! It was

amazing even to me.

Other members have increased their iron levels by eating red meat

liver, or by taking dessicated liver tablets or frozen raw liver

pills; here's " The Liver Files " article that discusses anemia and

eating liver, along with the recipe:
