Nahms, try the Candida Diet. It's built to eliminate the yeast in your body but always has an added benefit of showing you your food allergies (so you can avoid those foods in the future) and helping you to lose weight. I dropped 13 lbs in about 5 weeks and am adding foods to my diet now. I found Dr. Crook's "Candida Cookbook" on

for $3 ($6.28 with shipping.)

Most of my arthritic pain, knee pain, headaches, and over-acid condition went away within the first week. They stay away while I eat well. I'm happily stunned.

The diet sucks the big one (any diet does) but the benefits are way more than I had imagined.

NOTE: If you find some bread called "Ener G Brown Rice Yeast-free Loaf", quickly RUN AWAY! I have tasted Sahara sand which had more free moisture and taste than that stuff. Yuk!

P.S: It's because I feel better and have more energy that I've been in the shop making things lately.

Agreed, they all do. I've tried most of them, but what with depression, etc., just can't hang in there. I'm classed "morbidly obese"(400+lb.), and just started the "loop" to get gastric bypass surgery later this year. My primary doctor has been pushing @ me, one of the teachers where I volunteer is absolutely ecstatic over hers, and I've been to some support group meetings, gathering info.

Some of the results sound almost miraculous - - as the weight sloughs off, you get off blood pressure meds, diabetic meds, etc., etc. Then too, if I can dump about 100-150lb., my orthopedic doctor will go for new knee joints.

Talking about food allergies, I have a daughter & grandson who both have "wheat" allergy. Talk about sucks! I may mention the Candida book to her.

Hey, with a brand spankin' new Harbor Freight stapler, we could...

On the serious side, I wish you all the luck in the world with that. My knees and I have been unhappy with only 40 extra pounds I put on since I varied from my ideal high-school weight of 180.

Yeah, my knees sure took a beating with my litle extra weight. I can't imagine... G'luck!

My sister, an herbalist, says it puts you on a "live food" diet consisting primarily of whole grains (other than corn/wheat), veggies, and non-chicken/beef meats. I never went for some of their breakfast recommendations (fish 'n grits) but some of the different grains (quinoa, amaranth, millet) are great. I'm still learning to rotate my foods, eating a wider variety of them during the month.

Correction on the title, it's "The Yeast Connection Cookbook" by Dr. William G. Crook, M.D. & Marjorie Hurt Jones, R.N.

Energy to create sawdust with!

Norman, My wife had gastric bypass in 99. The benefits to her health are so = extreme its hard to list them. Even the small things you get used to and = ignore like the snoring and the fatigue. Being able to ride in a car for = an extended period of time. Just so many things have changed. On the = other hand so many things upset her stomach now. She cant eat really = rich or sweet foods. Even 5 years out of surgery last night we had pizza = for dinner and she gave it up to the porcelain god. Make sure you go to = the support meetings and speak with the people that are post op. She = says she would do it all over again would not have waited so long before = she did it. Also there are several web sites online that offer chat = rooms and news groups for the surgery. Good luck to you. Puff

depression,

[Norman D. Crow]

Puff, Yup, I should have gotten serious about it a couple years ago when my doctor first started pushing me about it. I've been doing quite a bit of research on the web and attending a support group "pre-op" to find out about it. I'm aware of the limitations to what you can eat. Different people have different limitations, according to what I've heard in the group. Whole new way of life, but at least I'll HAVE a life. I'm getting sick & tired of being sick & tired! Got too many things to do before I'm done, and I can't do them from a wheelchair or when I can't get down on floor and back up again without assistance(well, not quite THAT bad yet, but almost).

Thanks for the encouragement. I know the group I've been attending all say the same as your wife - they would do it over again in a minute!
