Nearly three months ago my husband died, and from that day on I have completely changed my diet. I have gone straight from eating nothing but sweet processed carbohydrates all day long compulsively, to eating, fruit, home grown spouts, seeds and nuts soaked for 24 hours, and large salads for dinner. I do confess to eating parmesan cheese grated and mayo with my salad at night. I have been feeling better and fitter, but in the last week or so I have been worried about having the following. A sore throat feeling that doesn’t hurt but feels rough and sandpaperish. Ears that totally block and ...

I want to try hem-relief, but I cannot find an English supplier. The cost to ship to England for one bottle is $16, which makes it a bit too expensive for me. Perhaps there is an English equivilant for Hem-relief. I am getting really down with the itching and feeling as if I have a bubble of itchy air on the outside. Really weird. If anyone can help please, please let me know. Many thanks. [End]

I do holosync as near every day as I can. Sometimes pressure of being too busy means I just can’t do it some days. It’s been nearly a week this time, but we have just sold our house and bought another, and that has been pretty intense. Now it’s up to the solicitors, and time!

Has anyone cured candida overgrowth with coconut oil please? I have been using it for six weeks, and think the weird symptoms I am having are the oil killing off the candida. I am keeping on with the oil, as I instinctively feel I need it. I am also giving it to my dogs, and they love it too. (The dogs oil is not for candida obviously!)
I would be very grateful to anyone out there who would take the time and trouble to tell me their story with coconut oil. Thanks. [End]

I saw ”You are What You Eat” with Gillian Mckeith last night on tv, and funnily enough she used kudzu on a man who drank too much beer, and was overweight as a result. Mind you he also liked his food a bit too much! She had made him a cloudy grey drink. I had in mind it would come as a capsule. Anyway she said it could be obtained at a health food shop. We have a very good one in our local town, so I will go in and ask about it next time I go. I did look it up on the website again and learned a bit more. Mind you I forget more than half of what I read these days! [End]

Thank you Vulcanel for the links. I will check them out tomorrow when I have more time. Only working a couple of hours then. I looked up kudzu but failed to find and uk suppliers. I am sure there are some, but then I have to make sure the extract is standardized, and taken from the root. So once again, this will have to wait until tomorrow for a proper check. I am definately going to order some, cos if it helps with alcholism then it will help with sugar cravings. [End]

Your breakfast sounds absolutely delicious! Only thing is it is very similar to what I would eat at dinner. It must take a while to get used to eating in this way. Also I presume you cook the rice and onions the night before, otherwise you would have to get up far too early. If you look at Optimum’s answer to my question you will find some other tasty suggestions for breakfast. I do think people on the Curezone are so very helpful and friendly. Thank you very much for your reply. [End]

Thanks very much for your help. I too, gave up smoking after 37 years, about 3 and a half years ago.

I used to smoke very heavily, but not cigarettes, as that was far too expensive, so I smoked tobacco.

Thanks for the reply. I have been using coconut oil for about six weeks. I take a tablespoon with each meal, and love it. It certainaly stopped my sugar cravings to start with, but not anymore. I know I just have to completely avoid sugar, just like an alcoholic has to avoid booze, which after all is sugar. It is just so hard to say no all the time, when your brain is absolutely clammering for sugar. I have not given in yet today, but yesterday I ate three Mars Bars over the afternoon. Pathetic. So there you go. I am carrying on the fight with sugar, and I will win eventually (I hope). [End]

I know what you mean about trying to catch the mucus before it goes down your throat. It is pretty near impossible. I have an idea that because it is so difficult our bodies in their infinite wisdom don’t need us to spit it out. I am sure the stomach acid would break it down and pass it out at the other end. I did try coconut oil once, but found it thin and not as satisfying as sunflower.

I am nearly convinced that the oil pulling was the problem. Or rather I was the problem as I stopped op-ing as soon as the symptoms started.

I tried it in a panic as I had lost a lot of weight, and the cravings had got to me once again. It actually worked, right from the first time. The only problem was that I had to stop going after a few weeks as it ...

Thanks for your reply. I am glad you have explained all to me. I went to the Health Food Shop today and bought cold pressed, organic Sunflower oil, so I am going to start OP’ing tomorrow morning. The shop had organic cold pressed Sesame oil as well, but I thought maybe it would be a bit strong, so I just bought the sunflower.
Not sure about the photos for the gallery. I will take some for myself, and if there is a big difference in a few months of pulling, I will put the before and after in the gallery. My teeth don’t look too bad but I have receeding gums, and some decay which I really ...

Hi to all oil pullers out there. I have been researching oil pulling and am going to start tomorrow after going shopping. I read that you should only oil pull with sunflower or sesame oil. However, I have been looking through the posts on the forum, and have noticed you op’ers use all sorts of oil. Please explain to a complete novice about the different oils. Many thanks. [End]

Yes salt can cause high blood pressure, but before you jump to conclusions read the book (s). We are not talking about ordinary table salt here, but Himalayan crystal salt. If, like I was, you are worried about salt and blood pressure, just think of the wildlife programmes you may have seen, when animals will travel for miles to get salt. Needless to say it is not the poison that we buy in the supermarket, labelled Table Salt. I just wish people would inform themselves before speaking out of turn. I have read several books on salt, and that is why I am using it. This salt does not raise bl ...

Sorry to hear you have been having pains in the hips. Here is how to make the salt solution. They (the authors) recommend using Himalayan rock salt crystals as they say it is the best salt. All you have to do is to put some of the crystals (they are chunks not fiddly little bits) in a jar or any container you wish to use, but preferably glass, and then cover them generously with water. 24 hours later you will have the 26% solution which is called solay. As you use the solay up add more water until the crystals have completely dissolved. When the crystals have gone stick in some more. They ...

I have been drinking a teaspoon of solay (26% salt solution) every morning in a tumbler full of water. I have done this faithfully according to the book ”Water and Salt, The essence of Life, for about three months now. I also have a small amount of the salt on my food occasionaly. I was suffering from one very achy hip, which also stabbed sometimes. I was getting worried about walking my dogs, as it was getting worse, and I wondered how much longer I would be able to take them for long walks. The other hip was also a problem, but instead of being a constant nuisance, it would feel like whe ...

Hi Invincible,
I have ordered the Insight cd this afternoon. Goodness knows when it will arrive, and I am off on holiday (HOORAY) in two weeks time. Haven’t had one since last Christmas. I will, for sure, let you know how I get on with it. I am hoping it is as good as Holosync, and I will burn a couple of copies just in case I wear the original out! You mention affirmations. I have had affirmations that I wrote and recorded myself on the last two levels of Holosync, but to be honest I don’t feel they work. Perhaps it is because they are subliminals. I don’t have any faith in subliminal re ...

Hi Invincible,
Glad I prompted you! Sounds like you had a very enjoyable time with the Insight cd. I am going to order both the Insight and Focus cds, as I find Holosync beyond my pocket. I always feel so guilty when I order the next level, as there are more important things to spend our money on, such as food! It’s nice to get feedback first from you and Owen etc. before spending anything. However, as with Holosync, it is a money back guarantee. I do find Holosync does what it says, and my anxiety has lessened since using it.
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to answer me.

I remember being where you are now. I can only suggest that you read Your Own Perfect Medicine, by Martha M Christy. That is the book I started with, then because she had pretty nearly convinced me, I carried on and read more, also researching on the Internet. Waste and toxins are removed via the stools, urine is filtered from the blood, and does not contain anything ”nasty”. I does contain a vast number of things including vitamins, minerals, anti-bodies etc. etc. It is said that if you injest your own urine you are giving a big kick start to your immune system. This therapy goes back to ...

Hi Invincible, thanks very much for replying to me. I have just been reading Owen’s posts using the link you gave me. Tell me more about the insight and focus cds please. You said you had pleasant results with them. Please would you tell me what kind of results? I love Holosync but it is very expensive, and takes so much time up that I have trouble fitting it in. I was getting up at 5.30 and doing the hour, then rushing out with the dogs for a walk, then breakfast then work. I can’t do 5.30 more than once a week and I don’t often sleep well, usually staying awake sometimes til three. Oh, t ...

Thank you for that Chava. I think I agree with you that it might not suit me. I think I would like to go for what I feel is right for me. Namely fruit for breakfast, salad or home-made veg, lentil and rice soup for lunch, and raw veg for dinner. Incorporated in this will be seeds, and nuts. I have managed to stay on this diet for three years, and lost several unwanted stones, and maintained my weight loss for two of those years without any cravings at all. I felt absolutely great nearly all the time, but I crashed off the diet big time and haven’t managed to get back to it for the last fou ...

Thank you Zach. Saw your photo on Barefoot’s new website, and I have been reading, reading, reading! Have downloaded 108 to read when I have more time. If others can do it I am sure I can if I can get past this wimpy ”Poor me, I can’t resist the cravings”, bit! [End]

Thanks once again Hanna. I too have depression (from being adopted at 10 weeks), feelings of rejection etc. Also I have anxiety, which is not too bad now, but on occasion can rear it’s ugly head. I have been a yo-yo dieter all my adult life, and can’t stop eating, so I am interested in finding out about the Warrior Diet Forum.I was on the oxypowder web site when your message came in, so I am going to give it a try. The liver flush is another story. I am not sure I would have the guts to do it! I am a real wimp. UT seems to have helped you a lot. I hope in a few months time I will be able t ...

Thank you for your reply. What a really clever idea to use tights. I honestly would never have thought of that! I am not known for my brain power unfortunately. My other half has a very iffy knee that frequently gives him a lot of pain and I will see if I can get him to try your therapy. He knows I am interested in UT, but I will have to be subtle, as it is something people will find disgusting. It has taken me a while, and a good few books on the subject, to get over the thought that it is all a big joke, and that someone somewhere is having a really good laugh! As the days go on that fee ...

Zach, thank you so much for replying. You have inspired me, but probably, I’m afraid to the next sugar craving! It seems like an insurmountable wall to get over before I can see the light. I give in for the sake of peace. I will do as you say and go to the barefoot forum. I have a lot of time for him already, so am looking forward to reading more. I really am going to make a big effort to clean up my diet, not going to fruit exclusively straight away, as you suggest. I already eat fruit for breakfast with goats milk yogurt and ground seeds. I love it! Going to see about these cleanses. I t ...

It’s so good to hear from someone who is well into UT. I am only one week in, and had a really bad night last night, couldn’t sleep and had horrible anxiety. I still have to sych myself up to drink my offering in the morning, and find the aftertaste horrible, but it is helping with sore joints, so I will keep on, and hope things get better. [End]

Thanks for your reply. I too, am trying to clean up my diet, with a very small result. I drink nothing but water, and have done for years. I still am having success with my hips though. I hope my joints are like yours and continue to improve. How do you use a compress in bed without it leaking through to the sheet please? I think a compress on a hip would be extremely difficult to waterproof. [End]

Can anyone help please? I am plagued by the most horrible sugar cravings. I managed to give up smoking nearly three years ago with very little trouble, but I do remember before I did having the most dreadful cravings if I didn’t have any cigarettes. I would have killed for a cigarette. These food cravings are exactly that same feeling. It’s nothing to do with giving up smoking, as I have had them for donkey’s years. I usually don’t even bother to try and fight them, as I know I will give in eventually, even a day or so later, and then I will binge even more. I know what to eat, but most o ...

I have been on the water cure for two weeks, and am definately feelig better. I have more energy, and I am pretty sure I am sleeping better. Early days yet though. I would like to know if because I am drinking four litres of water, and taking 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt a day, am I washing out vitamins and minerals out of my body? I take supplements every day, but am concerned they are being rendered useless. Thanks. [End]
