Excellent article.. can't wait to read part 2.
I am curious whether fruit sugar is feeding this parasite you mention considering I have cleaned up my diet considerably over the past 8 years, however my body craves sugar so I still consume plenty of organic fruit and have noticed I am quite lethargic and suffering from chronic fatigue.. wondering if this can be connected? If you are knowledgable about this I would love to hear your views. Thank you
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the article. When you say that you have cleaned up your diet what do you mean exactly?
Everyone has a different starting off point - depending on their current health status, but my approach has always been to firstly cleanse the body with the aim of getting the system back into balance ASAP. Everyone needs to do this IMHO because if you don't it makes the journey so much more difficult.
Once you have cleansed your system it is then a matter of maintaining it and i have a specific routine that I try to follow. Not religiously mind you as I am not always super-disciplined and I enjoy eating many different foods but sugar is something that I try to keep to a minimum. When I do consume more sugar than I should I try to balance it out with other foods that neutralize the sugar. When I know that my system is out of whack I do another cleanse and this routine has been working for me.
Too much fruit (even organic) is not good for you. It causes many health problems and it does feed the parasite. Your symptoms of cravings, lethargy and fatigue are classic signs of the the parasite and while I am not a health professional I think that I may be able to steer you in the right direction.
Stay tuned for my next post and in the meantime feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you I appreciate your insight.. I would like to hear more about how you cleanse your system. Also interested in which foods neutralize and balance out the sugar intake.
I completely agree, a clean diet is all relative. Just like everything else in search of truth it has been like peeling back the layers of an onion. About 5 years ago I removed all processed foods and replaced them with a high carb low fat diet mainly from fruits since it was easy, healthier and still tasty although Ive been aware of candida and how this diet was probably not the best.
Around two years ago I reduced my fruit intake to around 35% of my diet and began incorporating healthy fats mainly from avocados, ghee, coconut oil, hemp seeds, almond butter and bone broth w/ marrow making up about another 35%. The remainder of my diet comes from grains and protein in the form of quinoa, millet, wild salmon, organic pasture raised chicken and eggs, and a bit of grass fed red meat. Also around 3 months ago I started drinking distilled water which Ive heard some very interesting things regarding detoxification.
The fruit is the one part I've struggled with. I regularly start my day off with a big smoothie consisting of bananas, mango and worst of all dates which satisfies my sugar cravings. I know I need to cut this out however it is almost like an addiction since Im always looking forward to it.
