Hi, Thank you for all the information. To answer your question about the swelling under my jawbone, no I can’t say I’ve ever experienced that. The only other symptom that seems to be linked to the outbreaks is pretty severe pain in my right ear. The pain is there everyday as are the sores. However when one of ’em gets worse the other always gets worse too. I think I’m gonna go get a blood test today. Thanks again   [End]

Sorry if these are silly questions... I’m completely uneducated about herpes. Can you get herpes on your face from oral sex? And if so, can it look like acne or would I definitely know it was a herpes infection? I’m asking because when I was 24 my skin completely changed from flawless to having steady breakouts of these weird red sores/small boils. It has never acted copletely like acne. They come in surges and they tend to come in the same places over and over. If I get one, I know that 4 more are coming in that same area in the next day or so. I was dating a girl at the time ...

Doctors don’t want to hear about it because the drug companies can’t PATENT a magic pill to cure you of candida. All doctors want to hear about are symptoms that they can prescribe you an expensive, patentable drug for so the drug companies will continue to take them to lavish resorts and buy them expensive dinners. They believe that drugs cure all diseases. So, if there isn’t a drug for candida than it must not be a real problem.   [End]

Hi everyone, I’m just looking for some input from you guys....for the last 3 months I’ve been getting consistent breakouts on the right side of my face. The left side has been virtually completely clear. Does anyone know what could cause acne like this? Thanks for the help, Kasey   [End]

All you candida people seem to be pros when it comes to sugar information so here’s a question for you all..... I’m curious....I just decided to try some rice milk instead of goats milk but in reading the Nutrition Facts I found that there are 9g of sugar per cup. Where does this sugar come from? Here are the listed ingredients: Filtered water, brown rice, gum arabic, expeller pressed high aloic safflower oil, tricalcuim phosphate, corowise thytosterol esters, sea salt, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2, vitamin B12. Since ”sugar” is not listed as an ingredient can I assume that t ...

The reason people won’t respond to your question is because it’s so broad. We expect you to read and learn just like we do. From the sounds of the specific questions in your post you are already doing all of the right things. We can’t tell you how strict to be on your diet. That is up to you. How bad do you want to want to get better? Specifics are hard because everybody is so different. There are no clean and simple answers. You simply have to find out what works for you. I would say you’re already way ahead of the curve with your overall knowledge. Just keep reading and study ...

I think that sounds like a great plan. Fasting for an extended period is a great way to ”restart” your digestive system so to speak. I would suggest doing a little research here on Curezone to find some easy colon cleansing ideas to do while you’re on the fast. Then hitting the candida diet real hard for a few months should really do great things for your health. Some would tell you to stay away from fruit juice fasts because candida like all the sugar that is in the juice. I would tell you that doing a fruit juice fast for a period of 5 to 7 days would still be doing so much good o ...

First of all I would like to say that I think it’s great you have started a fast. Fasting is a great way to start healing the body. How long do you plan to do this fast? Also, what are you going to be allowing yourself to eat or drink while on this fast? Concerning the candida diet....Basically candida live on sugar. So the candida diet eliminates all sugar from your diet. This includes ”natural sugars” as well that are found in fruit and some vegetables (carrots, beats). As you probably know all carbohydrates are digested as sugar so all carbs must be eliminated as well. This wo ...

Shroom, I agree with you 100%. However, I wasn’t really considering xylitol as a cure for this disease. I am simply wondering if it’s safe to put a teaspoon of it in my tea for example. Does it feed the yeast? Does it kill small amounts of yeast? What exactly happens when it does come into contact with the yeast? I was wondering if one of your experiments could answer that question. Thanks, Kasey   [End]

In my opinion it’s a little narrow minded to have such a one dimensional view of this war. Also, what a horrible website to be promoting!! It only shows the negative side of this war.

Do you really believe that NOTHING good is coming from establishing a democratic government in Iraq? Do you really believe those kids are better off living under the regime of a mass murderer?

rlm79, I did a little research on saunas not to long ago. What I found was that most doctors both mainstream and alternative seem to think that infrared saunas don’t offer any extra benefit to detoxing. The only ”benefit” they might offer is that the actual temperature of the infrared sauna doesn’t need to be as hot to get the same amount of sweat out of you. Apparently the infrared rays heat you up more directly. The average temp of an infrared sauna is about 120-130 degrees while the average temp of standard saunas is about 180-190. Hope that’s a little helpfull. Kasey   [End]

I am starting out on the candida diet and I’m having a hard time with snacks. I find myself very hungry but unable to eat since I don’t know what I can eat for a snack. I bought two books with recipes but most have garlic or some kind of spice in them that I can’t eat because they drive my acid reflux disease wild. Does anyone have any suggestions for some good snacks to eat? Also, are there some that are not vegetable related? I understand eating the veggies is good for you, but I want something that isn’t a vegetable once in a while too. (o: Thanks for the inputs. Aaron   [End]

I’ve been taking winter squash and slicing it into 4 even quarters. Then I sprinkle a little salt and pepper on it and add a generous amount of xylitol. Cover with tin foil and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes. It makes a great desert!! Another idea is to take your favorite homemade chai tea recipe and use xylitol instead of sugar, low fat soy milk instead of regular milk, and a decaf black tea instead of a caffinated black tea. It makes a great after dinner desert. I hope you find these helpfull.   [End]

kezia, In my opinion antibiotics are never good for you in the long run. I have never heard of anybody being happy with the results of antibiotics when using them for their skin problems. At best they work for a short time then they quit working because your body simply builds an immunity towards it. In the long run they kill everything good in your intenstines thus producing an out of balance digestive system. An out of balance GI tract is what leads to all kinds of illnessess and disease. I wouldn’t touch those antibiotics if it was me. I have suffered with a poor complextion ...

Hi everyone, While following this anti-candida diet for the last 8 months I’ve been avoiding all foods and spices with ”yeast extract” as an ingridient.

What does that mean? Would this particular brand be ok to use? Also, is it important to avoid all ”yeast extract” like I have been? Any opinions would be much appreciated. Kasey   [End]

I am a firm believer that even organic cows milk is not good for us in the long run. Dose anybody have any good links to articles talking about why milk is not good for us to drink. My mother strongly disagrees. I would like to give her some good documentation stating otherwise. Most articles I find online simply talk about the dangers of drinking regular commercial milk because of all the crap the dairy farmers are putting in their cows. Anybody with a brain would agree that that is not good for us, but I’m talking about organic milk. Thanks for the help.   [End]

Now after 7 months of a hard core anti-candida diet and a number of the usual supplements I don’t get any strings at all! Now what happens is there is a steady ”snow shower” I like to call it.
