Re: Setting minerals in balance
Good work
I realized myself that sodium is a big issue. Why this is never mentioned to most I do not know. But sodium is an electrolyte , one of the four that we really need and ironically one that candida also seems to mess with. Now is it the candida or the diet that messes with sodium. Could be both. My diet was soo healthy that I got little or no sodium in my diet. When all you eat is vegetable soups and lettuce and nuts and water, there was no sodium. I found that adding sodium to my water bottles has helped me as much as magnesium. At one point I thought I did not need sodium in my water anymore and went back to only using it on food. After about two weeks of this I was teribly ill again. Took me quite a while to connect the dots , once I made the connection it was many weeks before I could build up the sodium again.
I agree with you totally. Minerals are so crucial , they seem to be one of the biggest reasons for candia and its symptoms. It is not just about eliminating certain foods from our diet and reestablishing good bacteria, but also about balancing.
A lack of minerals will actually cause our healthy bacteria to die off, and since yeast eat the unhealthy food, they flourish. Over time we can have an huge imbalance.
So is it really just
Antibiotics , hormones that cause candida or is it more about what we do to ourselves day in and day out? I am wondering if a round of
Antibiotics really is all that harmful if the diet was right. Seems to me we are all severely malnourished. And our healthy bacteria cannot live without being fed. This could really be the beginning of the decline.
Most likely we are all born with our healthy bacteria but our diets go downhill from the moment we are not breastfed and it just goes downhill from there. Sugar, white flour, refined products. A steady bombardment. Then add in a few
Antibiotics , steroids, hormones and acid reducers and you are in a bad way.
So
congratulations Jhan...glad to hear you are on track.
