Ok. So this is kind of gross. But when transitioning to raw - Do you ladies with candida histories have a lot of mucous discharge coming out of you? Sorry guys - I know - Very graphic. I just want to make sure this is detox and not an exacerbation of yeast in my system.....

Yuck yuck!! The things we talk about. Yes, I did. All the bad stuff has to come out. Will for it to come outout.

I used to have candida for years and I don't have it anymore. However without knowing all the specifics of your situation it's hard to say whether what is coming out of you is tox or detox. That is one tricky thing about raw. Depending on how you do it (and I've been here myself), you could be doing an approach or lifestyle that is actually causing toxicity and so that is coming out of you, but you convince yourself since you're raw it must be "detox" (read Frederic Patenaude's book Raw Secrets, there's a chapter called "The Neverending Detox".

However if you are following an approach that's working for you, it's perfectly normal to release mucuous/discharge while the body is cleansing.

If you wanted, you might get a consultation with a health advisor like Doug Graham or someone like him.

What sort of raw are you doing? What is your diet like?

Love,
