My sister, Jane's tests didn't really show anything. Now she has to have a Cat Scan of her lungs. She said when she got done with the pulmonary breathing test she could feel a slight burning sensation in her left lung. Now she will have to wait for another two weeks before she can get a CT Scan.
Haven't heard anything from my nephew, Rick, about his problem.
My brother, Steve's, cat died today. Jane had just taken him to the Vets on Wednesday. They took a blood sample and today he got the results but it was after the cat had died. The cat had a large lump on it's throat which turned out to be a fast growing cancer.
I'm still doing my baking soda enemas and eating an anti-fungus diet. feeling good, even though I can still feel a little pressure. But it's nothing compared to before. I am not taking any laxatives now either. The flax seeds and coconut and pecans and veggies are doing a good enough job. At least everything seems to be moving through normally now. I am on the toilet quite a few times a day though.
I'm going to add this Anti-Fungus diet information. I never had any yeast infections or problems with fungus but after reading about all that stuff I guess most all of us have it in our systems.
This is called The Yeast Infection Diet.
Green apples, berries, avocados, grapefruit, lemons, limes. Avocado is also a very good source of good fat.
# NO Breaded Meats...All others ok .
# NO Egg substitutes...Eggs themselves are ok...organic is best since they contain the correct omega fatty acids ratio...with fertile if you can find them being the ideal.
# NO Margarine and butter substitutes.
# On the yeast infection diet, low-fat yogurt (especially made from goats or organic), cream cheese, sour cream made from real cream, unsweetened whipping cream, and butter are all ok.
# NO Potatoes and legumes on the yeast infection diet for the first two weeks. After two weeks sweet potatoes may be eaten in moderation if they do not cause a problem for you.
# Fresh vegetables and freshly made vegetable juice ok.
# NO Coffee or tea (regular or decaf), NO Diet or regular sodas, Organic coffee or tea if you must in moderation.
# Bottled and reverse osmosis filtered water; distilled water is the best for removing toxins but should only be half of the water you drink, herb teas, fresh lemonade or lime-ade ok.
# On the yeast infection diet NO Grains are allowed...this includes pasta, rice, corn, wheat, millet, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, oats, and barley.
After two weeks you can eat quinoa, amaranth, millet and buckwheat in moderation.
# Absolutely NO Yeasts allowed...this includes bread, mushrooms, pastries and alcohol, hydrolyzed yeasts...Read your labels.
# NO Pickles, salad dressings, green olives or soy sauce...
Salad dressings made of olive oil, Braggs apple cider vinegar, water, and lemon juice are ok.
# Unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and black olives not aged in vinegar are ok.
# NO Partially hydrogenated oils including corn and peanuts.
# Coconut oil , olive, grape seed, and flax seed oils in a cold pressed formula when available are ok.
# NO Peanuts on the yeast infection diet and all peanut products and pistachio nuts. Cashews are a legume so I would avoid those too.
Raw nuts including pecans, almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds are ok.
# NO VINEGARS These include ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, pickles, pickled peppers, hot sauce, salad dressings, green olives, horseradish, dips, mayonnaise.
# It is best to avoid tuna, swordfish, shark, and shellfish because of high mercury content.
You are probably thinking, wow, what am I going to eat on this candida diet?? I thought the same thing until I really checked it out. So here is a list of Good foods although not complete.
The Candida Diet and Good Vegetables
Good candida yeast diet vegetables are alfalfa sprouts, asparagus, bell peppers, brussel sprouts, all the cabbages are good for the candida diet including broccoli. Carrots are a very controversial food on the candida diet, I have seen one yeast infection diet say yes and the next say no. Now they are a simple sugar when digested, but they are also an antifungal and keep the yeast infection from spreading. I just had to go on what the Mycologists said on this one, which is to eat them, raw. If you cook carrots it raises the glycemic index to double that of a raw carrot.
Other good candida yeast diet vegetables are celery, dandelion greens, eggplant, fennel, garlic, kelp, all the lettuces, onion, pumpkin, kale, spinach, and all summer squashes. Tomatoes, turnip greens, watercress, aloe vera, rhubarb, and yucca.
The Candida Diet and Meats
Good meats for the candida yeast diet are beef, liver, sausage, buffalo, goat, lamb, pork, poultry and all other fowl both wild and domestic.
Good candida yeast diet seafood’s are shrimp, octopus, snail, squid, anchovy, cod, halibut, flounder, Mahi-Mahi, red snapper, and wild salmon. Fresh water fish include catfish, caviar, crappie, pickerel, sturgeon, perch, white fish, bass, and all trout species are good on the candida diet.
I recommend grass fed or organic meats with no antibiotic exposure from grains or injections, seafood, wild fish-not farm raised, wild meats, goat, lamb, and organic free range poultry .
Bologna, frankfurters, sausage, and salami can be eaten occasionally, read the labels looking for the addition of starches and sugars. Pork is not recommended because it is usually irradiated, but occasionally it won't kill you! Even I eat bacon and eggs on the weekends.
Most herbs are also ok, and be sure to use natural salt. I also should let you know that most fish these days are contaminated with mercury. Substitute with goat, lamb, poultry, or sardines since they are high in omega fatty acids if able on this diet, or eat mercury free wild fish.
Natural peppermint teas will also be very soothing on your digestive system while on the candida yeast diet since it helps manage yeast die off, as well as nausea, abdominal fullness, or pain. Try to drink four 8-ounce glasses of distilled water a day, and 4 glasses of bottled or spring water to keep the body flushed of toxins.
As you can see there is actually quite a lot you can eat. There is no reason to go hungry since you can eat all you want of these foods and not only kill the yeast infection, but the excess weight, if you have any, will flat disappear. I lost 25 pounds in two months, didn't even try, and never went hungry.
Candida Diet Breakfast Ideas
Good candida yeast diet foods for breakfast are eggs cooked any style with bacon on occasion, ham, steak, or chicken (Not breaded). Grapefruit and vegetable juices are good, especially fresh carrot juice with a clove of garlic. A person could get tired of eating eggs I must admit on the yeast diet so just treat breakfast as any other meal. Have chicken salad, raw nuts or yogurt, just use a little imagination. A few times a week you could have a bowel of all bran cereal with almond milk if it does not cause a problem for you.
Candida Diet Lunch Ideas
For lunch have chicken salad or chicken, fish, beef patties with a vegetable basted in butter. Don't worry about fats on the anti-yeast diet since you need them for energy production for the body. That is how the body was originally designed to get its energy from. The body was never designed to use sugar from processed grains for fuel and this is what makes most people fat as well as feed candida and yeast.
Candida Diet Dinner Ideas
Just about anything goes on the candida diet for dinner as long as it is an allowed food. Steak, fish, poultry, wild game, and pork are all ok as the main dish. Raw or lightly steamed vegetables are the best, not over done, but still crisp so you don't kill all the available enzymes in these foods. Herbal teas or water are ok to drink.
After two weeks you can add yams, legumes meaning beans and peas. Oats can be added along with brown rice, basmati rice, oatmeal, quinoa, amaranth, millet, buckwheat, barley, flour tortillas, and sour dough bread in moderation on the candida diet.
