I wanted to respond to Karen's post - she is absolutely correct in saying that there are some things that people ate in the past we should not eat. These foods to recap include beans, lentils, brown rice, brown rice bread, potatoes and certain fruits. Carbs do turn into sugar! For example, although quinoa is a good substitute for rice, and has a lower carb count, it still has a significant amount. Therefore, we should be aware and take that into consideration when figuring our daily carb intake. So when reading these posts please note many things remain the same but some have changed as we gain knowledge. The following three posts from Articles and Diet that point out what you can and cannot eat: 7/5/2012 I followed a variation of the candida and fungus elimination diets. Basically this is what I started out eating. Fresh vegetables/cooked vegetables-in the beginning I stayed away from the more sugary vegetables like beets, carrots, etc. and concentrated more on the green leafy vegetables. Also no high starchy vegetables like potatoes. Grains-the only grain I eat are brown rice, millet and quinoa. No pastas, rices, flours, breads that are not made of the above. Also make sure they do not contain any added sugar or yeast. There are wonderful brown rice flours, pastas and breads. Meats and Fish-Had all meats and fish just prepare myself and make sure any sauces or ingredients added have no sugar, white flour products or yeast. Fruits-the only fruits I have for the 1st several months was lemons and limes (to make my beverage). After several more months I added in green apples and grapefruits. Sugar-Absolutely NO sugar. No sugar in processed foods, no fruits (other then lemons and limes), no artificial sweeteners other than 100% pure stevia leaf powder. No honey - NO SUGAR. Wheat, Bran, Oat - NO! no other grains or flour or anything other than Brown Rice (whole kernel and unprocessed), millet and quinoa. Bread, pasta, rice, flour - NO! unless it comes from brown rice, millet or quinoa. Sugar - NOOOOO! Just stevia - no natural brown sugar, no honey, no fruits, no artificial sweeteners. Teas- drink tons of camomile and green teas. The less processed the better. Water- drink tons of distilled water. Distilled water is purified and I figure I don't need any nasties coming from my water so I stick with distilled. Distilled water also aids the body in pulling toxins. Hope this helps. All the best, Theresa S. Monica 7/5/2012 The only thing I wanted to add to what Theresa said was the usage of Olive and Coconut oil.These two oils can be cooked in. In terms of honey... Manuka honey is actually usable in terms of natural sweetners. See here: Manuka Honey has natural antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. This is the ONLY kind of honey that can be used. It can be found in most health food grocery stores and online. Also, research herbs... I talked about Basil before... Which is anti-bacterial, and anti-flammatory. If you can you want to use it raw, ala fresh pesto with your friend olive oil, or in a salad... Food can heal you, if you know what to eat, and how to eat it. Remember veggies, raw are your friends. It summer, so very much salad time!!! Even if morgellons makes you miserable, when you eat well and consciously, it can be a very yummy luxury that pays off! Who wants salad dressing made with lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper and olive oil?? That simple? Wait, is it too acidic? Really, how about a wee bit of Manuka honey in it? :-) Yeah... that simple... anti bacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-septic and... damn, this salad tastes great! Yeah... that simple people. Wait... I don't want salad... I want chicken... Okay, buy some organic chicken, use that recipe as a marinade...and go grill, or broil it... Omg... I'm not gonna starve... No, no you aren't. :-) We would NEVER let you starve. Get to know food,oils, and herbs. ;-) You can do this! Monica Nicole 4/7/2013 You said clean diet... I'm curious what you mean by this? There is a lot of good diet advice on the site.. I initially referenced Doug Kauffmann the nutritionist of KNOW THE CAUSE, he has some helpful advice,including books on cleansing diets to starve candida. Fungus being a major component of Morgellons it is soo necessary to starve the fungus which will allow the protocol to do it's job in restoring your system. I followed his Phase1 diet for nearly 2 yrs making a lot of progress but it wasn't until a friend told me recently to cut out the buckwheat and quinoa I was eating have I started to see more progress. NO SUGAR, NO YEAST, NO FRUIT,BREADS,GRAINS, LIMIT CARBS! EAT VEGGIES!- (excluding carrots & potatos beans), lean meats, fish,everyones body responds diferent to foods Im just saying what works for me.. i exclude even brown,white rice some others eat this and make progress I wouldn't.Eat highly alkaline foods.. I was eating cashews for the longest time not realizing thier acidic.. ALMONDS HAZENUTS are alkaline, Oh and PURIFIED LEMON WATER, STEVIA to sweeten:).. There is more dietary advice here just thought i'd throw some basic essential diet advice out there(if u know all this already good your quicker than i am lol:) Honestly takes some fierce dedication and will to make the changes needed,but i know you got it.. those to little boys are inspiration enough!You and your boys are in my prayers.. I know there is an amazing healing taking place right where you are and you and your boys will pull thru this as a team! Love will see you thru :) Keep in faith!! Knowledge is Key, Donna M | |||
