How To Cure Candida - Week 4

Sorry, a day late today but I had a good excuse - honestly!
(I'll tell you about it later!)

Anyhow, week 4 of our How To Cure Candida Experiment.

Oh, week 4.......

Boy we were looking forward to this..... The end of the elimination diet, the start of getting back to 'normal'.....starting to eat real food again.....

So this was our grand plan for reintroducing foods back;

I was going to start with some whole-grains - maybe porridge for breakfast, brown rice to go into the stir fries.
Potatoes would start to accompany the salads,
carrots,
low sugar fruits
yada yada yada.....

This is our new and improved plan for reintroducing foods back;

Ummm, actually, we don't have one.

That's right.
We don't have a plan for reintroducing foods to our diet I guess because we don't actually feel that we need to. Every new food is considered carefully but it is added because we want it, not just because we think that we 'need' it and it is usually a one serving wonder.

I have to admit, we are probably a little more relaxed over how many rice crackers and pieces of 'kosher' toast that we are having and hummus has been a permanent addition - but then that was always allowed!

Our stir fries now include carrot and we are having a piece of fruit a day whether it be apple or pear simply because that is what we feel like at that time.

So I guess it is fair to say that we have settled into this diet nicely and will be making it a permanent thing. We feel pretty good and are still losing weight on it. But we have also worked out that just by eating more of these foods or just by adding a few whole grains we can slow that weight loss down.

It is great to be at the point that we have the freedom to eat as much healthy stuff as we want but to also know that we can add other foods when we like as well.

For example, we went out for the day yesterday and were able to find place in the food court that did awesome salads. Great.

When it came time for dinner we had a celebration meal of steak, salad and chips. Complete with ketchup and aoili. Dang it tasted good! We didn't feel any worse afterward (maybe a little fuller than usual!)

But the best part was that we didn't feel that we needed to go back to eating that sort of meal every night either. It was a treat and will remain a treat. Cool!

The other milestone that we have reached at the 4 week mark is the start of our parasite, kidney and liver cleanses.

We have gone down the easy path here and just got pre-concocted liquid formulas for each. Way easier!

So our list of supplements include;

• Multi-minerals
• Vitamin C
• Probiotics
• Fiber shakes
• Antifungals - for this week our anti fungal remedies are garlic and oregano oil.
• Enzymes - a homemade kiwifruit, boysenberry and lemon juice mix.
• Omega oil blend
  

Premixed liquids -

• Heavy Metal Detox
• Parasite Cleanse
• Kidney support
• Liver Cleanse

Oh and lets not forget my muscle relaxants and anti vertigo capsules!

As for why I was a day late....well, I was seeing a different neurologist - A 12 hour return drive away! But I'll have to fill you in on that one later....
