Anita,

I use Nutrition Data also, http://www.nutritiondata.com/

Their analysis for 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg shows total sugar at .6

gr. Two grams is the total weight of 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.

Hi Kathleen,

Firstly,I rechecked and realized that I had put in 1 tablespoon

instead of 1 teaspoon, so that's why I stated that the total sugar

grams was 2. I can see that you are going down further on the page for

the breakdown of sugars/carbs while I was mainly relying on the first

chart which shows 1 tsp. nutmeg as having 1 gram sugars (further down

it shows a the total of .6 (this is confusing to me). It sounds like a

very low amount of sugar but I do react easily.

Your response helped me watch my inputting on the site more carefully.

Thank you,

Hi Bee,

My symptoms are mainly an immediate achy, tingly feeling in my nose followed by

a crackling sound in my ear when I open my jaw wide - usually a headache

follows. These are not die off symptoms for me - those are different.

My alarm about the eggs was a response to not knowing they had any natural

sugars in them. Now I'm understanding that it's impossible to exclude them

entirely as that would cut everything out.

In thinking all of this over and looking at my diet and stress levels right

now, there are some other factors I believe are aggravating the yeast of late.

For months I've been putting tomato paste (to help thicken) in the chili recipe

instead of tomatoes and am realizing that it has more sugars in it - I've been

having this meal several times a week so I'm thinking that may be having an

impact? I was also having avocado every day - have stopped doing that. It's

confusing to me because an avocado doesn't show up as having more natural sugars

than a raw tomato and doesn't taste sweet....is it the whole thing of carbs

turning into sugars in the body?

My stress levels are very high due to circumstances that I am unable to change.

I'm getting help in getting through them but the grief and trauma seem to make

me more sensitive than ever to sugars. I do know about the relaxation techniques

and they are good but difficult as the grief builds and rushes through me. The

thing is, I have recently been betrayed by someone very close to me and my

husband and I may have to foreclose on our home due to business failure. There

are other major stresses as well.

Within all this I'm feeling mild reactions to the Bee drink whereas for a year I

didn't. With all the turmoil happening around me and inside me I'm having a

difficult time figuring it all out.

I'm going to make changes with the chili, eliminate the avocado and reduce the

Bee drink spices a bit as I was taking more than the recipe called for anyway.

I don't know if all this makes sense as I'm just not myself of late.

Thanks for our input and support,

Anita

Hi Anita,

I am new to the program and can't offer any advise but please know that I just

said a prayer for your healing. I have also expereinced tingly in my face,

numbness in my fingers and needles poking through my body, at times I could not

remember recent events, also sever panic attacks are part of my life.

That was ten years ago and doctors could not figuere out what was wrong with

me.....I self diagnosed a few months ago. Please hang on.

==>Hi Anita. My goodness, you are having a very rough go of it! My

heart goes out to you.

Stress is a very big factor which depresses your immune system, and

makes your body run more on the sympathetic nervous system instead of

the parasympathetic system.

When the sympathetic nervous system is active there a quickening of

the pulse, increased blood pressure, constriction of blood vessels,

decreased activity in bladder and bowel muscle, dilation of the

pupils and a rise in blood sugar — preparing the body to react to a

threat through " flight or fight " behaviour. Also less stomach acid

is produced, and there is less activity in the digestive system, the

opposite of what happens when the parasympathetic nervous system is

active.

On the other hand when the parasympathetic nervous system is active

it produces the opposite responses to the sympathetic nervous system,

i.e. pulse and blood pressure are normal, blood vessels relax, saliva

and mucus production is increased, gastric juice is secreted and

motility of the digestive tract is increased, digestion is increased,

pupils relax, etc.

Your plan to cut out some foods that are not on the diet is wise.

During times of stress you have to be even more strict about the

diet, and ensure you take all of the supplements. If the Egg Drink

is causing symptoms you cannot handle, cut back on the coconut oil in

it, even if you were able to tolerate more before.

Because stress interferes with digestion also try to consume a mostly

liquid diet, i.e. Bee's Raw Egg Drink, bone broths, soup, and even

puree foods.

Ensure you take enough hydrochloric acid, which probably needs to be

increased when you are stressed due to lower stomach acid

production. Ensure you are taking enough magnesium too.

Also do frequent deep breathing exercises to switch your body over

from running on its sympathetic nervous system - see articles on my

website on how to do them. Also take Epsom Salt baths. Take out

time to pamper yourself and shift your attention away from the

stresses.

The best, Bee

Thank you Bee,

You gave me some good reminders and instruction. I'll stick with the

egg drink (cutting back the CO in it is probably a good idea at this

point)and start cooking up my pureed soup again. Cooked cauliflower

whipped with butter and salt, pepper and sage is something I have

several times a week..I find pureed foods vs. uncooked greens and such

to be to be very comforting and right for me during times of high

stress - the body really does have a wisdom of it's own if we

listen... Two questions: Would the rise in blood sugar during stress

be contributing to my reacting more to natural sugars? Also, how would

the hydrocloric acid be helpful in my circumstances? I haven't been

taking it because I haven't had digestive problems in general with the

program. Does it help with a sluggish bowel?

I am trying to take care of myself with the baths and not over

thinking. I haven't been incorporating the deep breathing but am

planning on looking it up today.

I can hear your care and it's comforting.

Gratefully,

Anita

Hi Edie,

It was a comfort to me to know that you said a prayer for me. I have

had a history of panic attacks and know what hell that can be. I hope

you're feeling more hopeful? I will keep moving forward - I've been

through much trauma in my life and know I can get through this with

God's help and all those who come along side me.

Thanks for your support.

which basically shuts down digestive processes, including production

==>Good for you. You'll find the deep breathing helps a lot. Be sure

to do it before you go to sleep at night.

Edie, are you still getting the numbness? I have this strange set of

symptoms where I will get air hunger, then my left ear/face get a numb

feeling and then my left knee /leg starts to burn!!

I have no warning when it will come but I can predict the pattern. It

is so weird, I guess nothing is strange about natural healing though.

Anything can happen. Although the air hunger is getting better. I have

only been following Bees program for one month and I have 41 months to go.

During the summer I lost 50 lbs in 2 months cause I couldn't eat. I

basically lived on water and lemon. SO I became very malnourished. I

think this also may have threw my thyroid in a tizzy too.
