Visit With The Natural Doctor

I met with Natural Doctor Mary Schrick at the Full Circle Health Clinic today to gain direction for my Candida diet. Here is the information I got:

Eat only lean meats, fruits (except bananas, watermelon, grapes), and eat vegetables. No grain flower of any kind (coconut and almond flour are okay). No condiments (including no Stevia or Xylitol), no mushrooms, no yeast, no corn, no starches. Absolutely no grains. Also, no milk products, including no yogurt. Eat 2 servings of vegetables for every 1 serving of fruit and eat more berries and apples than other fruit. Apple Cider Vinegar is okay.  I asked about filtered water since our water has chlorine. She said the water she recommends is reverse osmosis water, and no bottled water and to change the membrane on the reverse osmosis water filter yearly as its torn up by the chlorine. She also recommended talking Proteolytic Enzymes on an empty stomach and they would help get rid of the yeast. And take probiotics (healthy bacteria), which I already take.

So I am having to tweak my diet a little more. I'm glad to hear I can add most fruits back! But now I have to get rid of brown rice cakes, yogurt, stevia and xylitol. I am definitely thankful I have more of a program to go by!

I asked about detoxing, and she talked about how they used to switch between Silver, Caprylic Acid and another item I can't remember, to detox. She doesn't recommend that anymore because the yeast releases toxins into your body and her patients were getting too sick. She has tried everything out there to get rid of Candida and she now just recommends diet. How long it takes depends on how long the person has had it. She said the die off during the detox is only the weak Candida. The Candida spreads throughout your entire body and sets up residence. If you starve it, it won't know your doing it and it won't release any toxins. Candida also starts to become immune to the anti-fungal products if you don't rotate between them.

Since I have already been taking a detox and I've only been sick one day, she said I could continue it if I wanted to. Since I have a really strong immune system. I may just finish the bottle I'm on and not order more since the Candida might become immune to it anyways. So I will be sticking to this diet for as long as it takes.

The rash around my mouth is gone. I still have some thrush on my tongue and a yeast infection. When those are gone, I will do the saliva test again to see if I still have it, then call Dr. Mary again and go from there.

I bought the proteolytic Enzymes called High Potency Protease, the probiotics called Bifidophilus Flora Force,  and the reverse osmosis filter from Sunshine Herb Shop which is my Nature's Sunshine Product Website.
