Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi Group, I have been on this diet for exactly 48 hours and am feeling alternately " better than I have ever felt " , to " worse than I have ever felt " . At times I feel clear headed, awake, my joint pains, back pains, knee pains have already cleared up, etc. But at other times I have a splitting headache, groggy (drugged), itching in my ears, sore throat, symptoms of a urinary tract / vaginal infection, runny nose, sneezing, etc. The switch can be sudden, and dramatic - and things can change back and forth within hours. When I feel good, it is the best I have ever felt, but when I feel bad, it is almost more than I can tolerate. I have also lost 6 lbs in 48 hours. I knew about the die-off symptoms, but did not expect anything this dramatic or this soon. MY QUESTION IS: Is it too soon to be experiencing die off symptoms? Is it unusual to have the sudden changes from feeling great to feeling lousy? I just wanted to know if this is what is meant by a healing crisis, or if I might be sick from something besides yeast healing. It would be really encouraging to think that this diet is already had such a dramatic effect, and it would make the symptoms more bearable. Thanks for any input you might have.

Given the unusual nature of candida, I think it's probably pretty normal for you to be having sudden changes. Bee can probably elaborate more on the why-fors. I also lost in the vacinity of 6-10 lbs. in the first week. I think all the symptoms you describe are pretty much normal when natural healing is occurring. Hope that helps!

Yes, die-off symptoms can start immediately and suddenly. It is mainly because die-off symptoms are caused by the high numbers of toxins candida produces when it is killed off. So, yes this is what is meant by a healing crisis. Even if you were sick from something else this program will help it as well, since any health problems are only helped by proper nutrients and eliminating toxins. Many candida sufferers also have other kinds of bacteria which are also being killed off, producing their own set of toxins. The beauty of this program is that coconut oil is antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic so it covers all bases. I had severe die-off symptoms for a few months during my candida cure over 20 years ago. At one point in time I was losing 3 lbs. a day and could only eat 9 foods in the whole world (I had no choice because everything else came back up). However, I didn't have this program back then. I only had Dr. Crook's program, so I had to learn a lot by trial and error and by suffering a great deal, which is how I learned that many foods he recommends are not okay for candida. It took me 2 1/2 years to cure my candida. If you change your diet too quickly, or try to take too much coconut oil at the beginning your symptoms will be worse. If you are miserable cut back on the coconut oil, or change over to the diet more slowly, which will help minimize symptoms somewhat. We all understand how awful die-off symptoms are. Unfortunately they cannot be avoided, and all the symptoms point to healing and detoxifying taking place. I recommend you do the 9-day program at this time. It is very helpful for severe die-off symptoms: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig6.php Let us know how the 9-day program is going.
