Commercial yoghurt is inferior to kefir and other fermented products because of the lack of strains available. Until there is a full investigation into every yeast and bacteria present in kefir grains it is to early to suggest that kefir is useless in the fight against candida albicans and more specifically, the synergistic compounded effect of multiple strains working together to control a single species. Whats interesting here is that the fight never stops... Ive often pondered why, but I’m unable to answer this question apart from the fact nature placed candida albicans within the hu ...

Colostrum works in terms of food allergies because it repairs the intestinal lining of your gut, and it is very effective at that task too.

Does anybody have any links or knowledge regarding this process? How can I grow my own cultures in order to cut down on costs, learn something about biology and improve my health? If I/we can grow our own pro-biotics at home we can guarantee large doses everytime. Also, does anybody know how many friendly bacterias will be produced by 24 hours fermenting milk ? Goats milk or cows milk best for yogurt? Apprently 24 hours of fermenting will eliminate nearly all the lactose so we can essentially eat as much as we can bear by the sounds of it.   [End]

OK I will research the glycemic index and load more thoroughly in order to understand what is happening during digestion and how glucose is transported etc. I currently take 4 billion acidophilus per day + 1 No added sugar bio live organic yogurt. Does anybody think it could be a good idea once the candida is well under control to start taking acidophilus in doses of around 100 billion per day ? Update: Ive done a bit searching around and I can find a supplier that offers a 50 billion per capsule with 12 different strains and is called Ultimate Flora 50 billion. I may start to ...

I suppose the proof is how you feel. How do you feel whilst on the fruit smoothie ? I sure would like to think that I could also consume this kind of food at some point in the future. The conclusion that one can arrive at if alkalising your body is the prime tool you are using to counteract the effects of fruit sugar, is that you could eat anything you like with sugar whether simple or complex as your blood ph being alkaline would prevent any symptoms. I’m not sure this is the best protocol to be honest, as the candida will always try and multiply when the fruit sugar is consumed as it ...

Well I dont see the problem with swallowing the whole lot, as you would be merely swallowing what you had managed to get out in the first place so would not be increasing any toxic burden. I’m not an expert, but that appears to be the most logical answer.   [End]

I’m a little confused about nutritional data, perhaps somebody can enlighten me. If a complex carb contains more sugar than a simple carb, lets say 8 grams per 100 grams, is this a better food to eat as opposed to a simple sugar of 4 grams per 100 grams ? Also, if a food type has 29 grams of carbs, but only 2.9 grams are sugars, what do the other carbs get converted into ? I was under the impression all carbs will eventually be converted into glucose, so why is there a distinction ? Regarding the potatoes I was eating, I ate them whole with skins as I had read this was ok... bu ...

Ernie ”Everyday I make ”smoothies” out of greens, and fruits such as apples, kiwi, rasberries, strawberries or pineapple (I’ve read conflicting reports of whether it’s okay to eat fruit if you have candida).” Maybe somebody can correct me, but this smoothy is not what you want to be doing at all if you have candida. Candida feast on apple juice, kiwi and pineapple. The only fruit I touch is organically squeezed lemon juice. Otherwise you are doing very well with the diet (freerange chicken, wild salmon etc). If you dont have candida then you are motoring along just fine! Milk this ...

Well thanks for your support and suggestions folks. Fortunately, I’m not a diabetic as my Plasma glucose level was recently tested after a fast and returned 4.3 MMOL/L, which is perfectly fine. However for those less fortunate its clear to see why other people are part of this ”mysterious” epidemic... Look no further than the food chain, full of healthy products !   [End]

Im in such a mood right now as Ive ate potatoes for the last 4 days... Grrrrrrrr I will just eat salad with either tuna, turkey or wild salmon and beetroot as the bulking agents, every day for the next year.... You see I have to avoid broccoli, sprouts, turnip and cabbage etc because of being hypothyroid which means avoiding goitrogens... Im going to have some cottage cheese too as Ive read this is supposed to be ok. Ive ate cottage cheese without any major problems for a while. So the only things to be concerned about now are mercury levels in the fish and mucous off the cottage ...

Why are potatoes considered as acceptable when baked and consumed with their skins as opposed to peeled potatoes? What does the skin do to counteract the starchy inners? I like potatoes as they are warm and fill me up and like them jacket from the oven, so this is one thing I would like to keep on my long term diet.   [End]

In order to clean the mouth of any toxins or whatever is left over from the oil pull, do you think it could be a good idea to then take a small dose of Colloidal Silver after washing your mouth with water, in order to kill off anything that may remain in your mouth. The CS will also go to work elsewhere in your body when you swallow it too. Is the timing very important here ? Should we take the CS in the mouth within 15 or 30 minutes of the oil pull ? What do you guys/gals think about this ?   [End]

Im new to oil pulling. Is it a good sign that your tongue is covered in white and you have a sore throat ? Does this mean the treatment is proving to be a success ?   [End]

HealthAid Mega Formula Acidophilus Plus Is a pro-biotic with 4 billion cultures per capsule and also contains the fructos, is this the type of product you are looking for? You should also take some Chlorella at the same time as the pro-biotic as it increases the live cultures breeding speed by 4 times. Friendly bacterias feed on Chlorella and Spirulina, so give em some food and they will multiply, just like humans ! You can buy the above pro-biotic all over the UK. Natures Aid are also an excellent brand and have a 2 billion per capsule culture.   [End]

I thought I would provide an update for anybody that is interested. Total T4 range is 4.5-12.5 Free T4 (Not bound to protein) is 0.7-2.0 So its clear the range that I was tested for is total T4, but that is still way above 12.5.... and my GP is suggesting INCREASING thyroxine from 100 mcg to 125 mcg ! Its a total contradiction that Total T4 is above the reference range and also TSH is above reference range. Anyway, after my heart palps I decided to stop taking synthetic thyroxine for two days until my result came though. The heart palps disapeered, today I took 100 mcg again a ...

Hi everybody, I have been hypo for quite a number of years however my symptoms have vastly improved since embarking upon Chinese herbal therapy over the last 12 months or so. Today I had my latest test result from my western doctor who provided what I interpret as a contradiction (assuming UK lab tests use the same parameters as US labs when defining what is high, normal or low. Can somebody please confirm for me that a T4 count of 16.5 is high. My blood test received a feedback of T4 16.6 and TSH 7.3. Correct me if I’m wrong but does that not appear to be a contradiction ? I t ...
