good morning y'all!
well i'm still hangin in there! day 4 (ok i did have a few dried apricots!) and i still got loads of aches and pains and headaches but reckon that it's not surprising i got candida or whatever after having a healthy (!) bottle at least of red wine per day per regular 'recreational' drug use for all those years. so i'm gonna try and stay on board a bit longer, at least til i s

ps you're being fantastically helpful!

yes thanks, i do actually agree with you about eating low fruit. in fact i hadn't been eating very much fruit at all until recently when i came back to this board and started seeing loads of stuff about high fruit etc so thought i'd give it a go. and then is when my bloating and abdominal pain defintly increased but eating the fruit defintly stopped me from oversnacking on nuts and seeds! a bit

coconut cream, do you eat seeds etc and green stuff? or just fruit?
Forum: Raw Diary - Your Personal Experience 17 years ago

and one more thing i thought it was generally assumed that fruit was really bad for candida, but i've read loads of stuff on this board that says that it is actually fats that cause candida? what do you reckon about that?

is it a good idea to take anti candida supplements? i've just been reading up on candida and feel pretty convinced that it is the problem

thanks once again for more encouraging words, if it wasnt for your advice i would have jumped ship on the first day!
you know, about your cold, i don't know about over there but here the winter has been so mild that loads of people (me included, in fact just about everyone) are constantly getting colds coughs etc more so than usual. we reckon it's because there hasnt been a cold snap to 'kill of

one more thing while we're onthe subject (sorry for the breakfast reading!) on the curezone.com a person had posted pictures of her candida that she'd expelled, stringy stuff, is it really like that? i kind of thought it was microscopic.

hi guys
have to report a pretty yukky and freaky experience i had last night (sorry to be blunt here!) anyway i gave myself a small enema last night to try to get rid of headache, had one bowel movement after and then later on had another small one and it was like 2 globs of bright red mucous, looked suspiciously like blood to me, i've never had anything like that before. since then i have also

ok i'll check that out
one more thing have any of you tried colon cleansing? i guess that is how i ended up back on this board by checking out people's thoughts about colonix (i decided it was too expensive for me) i'd be interested to know if you think it's important/necessary?
amazing how this board is helping me not to pick up that first banana!!
cheers to you all

also you said you had about half a gallon of juice yesterday which i think is about 2 litres, well there's no way i've been drinking that much juice! especially if i juice spinach chard etc i'd need a tonful to get that much juice! i guess that's why i've been mixing in appel and carrot.
i reckon i had a bout 4 or 5 juices yesterday, which i work out to be about a litre and a half maximum.

well actually i don't feel that good at all! headache is back, lethargic, no motivation to do anything!! i really don't know how much longer i last but like you say it's good to know there is no pressure and that even if ido jump overboard i can always climb back in or at least learn from the experience
anyway i'm still juicing so we'll see...
i must say i'm including an apple or pear in most j

fairplay carrie for fasting amongst such a complex situation!
so it is now day 2, morning of, i feel a bit more optimistic, defintly better than yesterday. although still got faint hint of caffeine headache
please tell me, why is carrot worse than apples? i thought it would be the other way around
speak to you all later

wow that sounds great!
i just want to say how grateful i am for all the information, i've been meandering around raw foods for about 12 years but on average about 75% with periods of longer and less. based most of my knowledge on what i'd read in 'raw energy' and 'rainbow green cuisine' and since aobut 4 years hadn't really updated my knowledge. so i feel like i'm really learning a lot now and

Forum: Raw Diary - Your Personal Experience 17 years ago

yes cheers, i'll bear that in mind about the smoothies and the 'one day at a time', funny because i was just thinking 'there's no way i'm gonna get thru 10 days like this!!' and for sure i don't think i'd have got very far with the master cleanse!
@#$%& that sounds a bit worrying about not improving eating habits!
so for the candida thing what are the fruits to avoid? are apples ok if not used

wonderful words of wisdom captain! you are defintily the right person for the job!!
yes i do feel particularly sluggish today so i think i'm just going to slouch around today (no pressing engagemnts luckily).
i'm going to do my maximum to stick with the juice today, i bought fresh chard spinach rocket most of which are organic, although it is very rough going right now!! headaches starting to e

morning all
well i feel absolutely terrible after last night's dinner! and very unprepared for today, i got itchy runny nose (i often get this, is this candida symptoms i wonder?) and generally clogged up headspace. will have first juice soon then am off to market to see what good veg i can pick up.
i must say i don't feel very inspired for this!! i'm hoping this feeling will pass.

sounds like your all very experienced at this fasting malarky
i've only ever done 2 one day fasts before, am wondering if 10 days might be a bit ambitious, especially as i've just snacked out on lots of unmentionables in preparation for tomoro!! but i guess i'll try to take it steady and not gvie myself grief if i can't stay on track.

what about green tea? or is it considered too much of a stimulant?
Forum: Raw Diary - Your Personal Experience 17 years ago

ok i've just remembered....
i've been using psyllium the last couple of weeks to help bowel funtion (it's helping), can i ccontinue with that?
also having understood what you were saying about the candida can i still use apples or do they provoke? obviously i would prefer to use them!!

good morning all from sunny south of france!!
a few more questions for you seadogs out there -
johnson said :
"You have to go into serious debt to do it organic, for one thing; and since millions of birds, fish, and other animals die every year due to sprays, I feel veganism is organicism (and vice versa, considering that no environmentalist worthy of the name can not be vegan), so th

great, thanks for your help! i shall be joining you on wednesday (as long as i don't sudenly change my mind!!)
i usually start the day with an apple lemon and ginger juice so i guess i can keep on with that and i'll check around tomorrow for other vegetables to use on wednesday.

well there maybe a problem looming - there is only one organic shop in my area and fesh produce is very limited, and also very seasonal (i live in france). so there is available chard, spinach lettuce pumpkin organicaly, for anything else i'd have to buy 'normal'should i do that?
as it is already evening here i shall try to drink some green juice tomoro along with salads and fruit like normal.

ok thanks for the info
i did the candida questionnaire and scored 155 (probable systemic yeast infection)
it's very interesting what you say and indeed having read rainbow green cuisine several times over the years i do understand the connection, but i got a bit confused recently after reading loads more 'pro fruit' posts on the board and started eating lots more fruit in the last 3 or so weeks

so my goals from fasting would be:
to clean out my body from 30 years of alcohol and illicit substance abuse (i stopped all in october), to try and work out what is causing this bloating, pain in lower left side (which i've had for several years but have buried it somewhere under overeating and binges etc)
and to clear out my head and allow my creative side to come through more

thankyou Johnsonandtheshits for your advice, it's interesting what you say.
about candida, i'm not sure if i have or havent got it!! how would i know?
i do have what i believe to be IBS (bloating, lower left abdominal pain recurring constipation diahorrea etc) which is why i am thinking about doing a fast.
so if i decide to do a green fast can you please tell me how many juices a day? what you
