Appetite hasn’t been so good after few weeks on plan,was good at the beginning. Have no appetite in the morning so went out without food and after half an hour felt nauseas and unwell so i ate something immediately.Felt better. before the plan could go out without eating, no problem. or no symptoms. I have not had diabetes but have high blood pressure,no heart disease. I am sure the high bp is due to candida. I did the plan some years ago,the symptoms were not the same but i lost about 15lbs and blood pressure dropped to 120/80 after being 160/120 something like that.   [End]

I know how you feel. I tried acem meditation. Check ou on the net. It’s nothing to do with buddhism or sitting crossed legged. It really does work. You can check out on the net about how meditation does work. Google in science studies on meditation. Also yoga stretching is good because a lot stress is stored in the muscles. You can feel how it can hurt if you press hard on certain acupressure points,say on the back of head or neck.   [End]

Misunderstanding of my question. I asked if there were any science or study which shows that mineral water flushes out toxins.

Is there any science on minerals facilitating detox. Have not heard of this before,only heard of drinking large quantity of water to help flush toxins. What about tap water fro surface water sources and genuine spring water. Also the amount of Na in spring water.? Too high levels of minerals can be toxic in themselves.

We spoke about the high bread intake which I have stopped a few days now and the vinegar(apple)on scalp which i rinsed off with only water and then couple days later used desert essence shampoo. There is some improvement on scalp,no itching and irritation. Do you know why bread might cause problems.? Is it grain and yeast.? I shall try the betaglucans in a while so as to see long term results of cutting out bread. For some reason bread has always been more difficult to resist than sugar. Doesnt tho, grain convert to sugar in body.? Is it a different kind of sugar from sucrose.? Thanks   [End]

I’ll try the vinegar. Last few days I stopped the bread and taking und.acid 5kps 3x a day and noticed an increase bowel movement. Also no brown rice as I had a reaction from that recently too. Concerning scalp: Itching comes back a couple of days after using organic shampoowhen the hair becomes oily again. It did not before so I think that it must be due to what I’ve been eating since I finished the plan. It has been tough going resisting carb cravings. I know you advised about adding foods back due to sensitivity. Does that mean then that fungal candida can bounce back with those carbs.?
