RE: hi, new member LUPUS

[Guest guest]

Hi! And welcome to the group! To me, healing starts with nutrition. I feel there are many things to try before chemo enters the picture. Since I have done so much research I have come to the conclusion that lupus is a reaction to allergens, bacteria, excess sex and stress hormones, viruses, parasites, fungi (like systemic candida), chemicals, metals (mercury in dental amalgams) and other dietary and environmental toxins. There are ways to detox these and cause these things to leave the body. When you are pregnant lots of toxins and biproducts of hormones are created. You have the baby and these toxins don't all come out. I think this is one reason women who have had more than one baby are prone more to autoimmunity and candidiasis. Candida clings to toxins, being anaerobic (needing no oxygen), it clings to chemicals, viruses, and other bacteria.

 

I would research two things to start, the anticandida diet, and the Gerson Therapy. The anticandida diet is a diet in which you stay away from sugar and the type of carbs that feed bad bacteria and fungus like candida. This starves the candida and symptoms start to subside. With this diet, you can take supplements that actually kill candida (but watch out for a die-off reaction which is toxins trying to get out of the body too quickly). Some of these anticandida supplements are capryllic acid, garlic, grapefruitseed extract, biotin, and Pau d'Arco tea. Estrogen is a growth stimulator for candida. Avoiding foods that contain and or stimulate estrogen will help you, like animal fats, butter, milk, soy (only eat fermented soy). If you eat foods that men put hormones into, you stimulate candida. These hormones added to food is also one reason young girls are developing earlier.) If you eat foods that men have put antibiotics into, these antibiotics

destroy the good bacteria in your bowel, but the candida fungus (one-celled organism) flourishes and autoimmune symptoms get worse. If you eat food that man has overprocessed, your body will not be able to break down these foreign proteins. They stay in the bowel and candida thrives on them. If you take antibiotics, these kill all bacteria, allowing fungi to flourish. A new study by the Mayo clinic said over 90 percent of ear infections are caused by fungi, not bacteria. I believe candida is one of the top three things that cause autoimmunity. It can be almost anywhere in the body. It gives off toxins, and also chemicals that suppress the immune system's reaction against it. It also adapts to different conditions, so when trying to kill it off, you need a four day rotation cycle, like garlic for 4 days, capryllic acid for 4, so on, and so on, and back to garlic again. Otherwise the candida will become resistant to the supplements if you take them too long. This is why

nystatin and other drugs do not work. They are given too long and too often.

 

When I avoid animal fats and animal proteins, msg, milk, wheat, processed foods, and sugar, tomatoes too (foods I am allergic too), my inflammation goes down...

 

You can get plenty of proteins from veggies, beans, and nuts, brown rice, etc.

 

When I eat walnuts and salmon my inflammation goes down...

 

When I drink freshly made carrot juice with spinach juice, my inflammation goes way down. Pineapple does this too.

 

I am personally struggling to walk away from the SAD Standard American Diet, to a natural diet, no processed foods ( no trans fats, hydrolized vegetable proteins, or msg), very little grains except non-wheat like millet ( millet is the only grain with Omega 3s) and brown rice,

no milk except organic yogurt or organic cottage cheese (fermented things are very oxygen and nutrient rich), no sugar, no oils except coconut oil, olive oil, sesame seed oil, and flax seed oil , no meats except fish (fresh salmon is wonderful to calm down inflammation (Omega 3s)), fresh nuts like walnuts are great (omega three precursors), and even though it helps me I struggle to juice.

 

I know it is hard, but I think you will feel the difference within an hour after juicing. I do. Also if you can, see a very good alternative medicine practitioner or a naturopath, one who wants to help instead of taking your money for supplements you don't need. Amelia is brave. She is an inspiration to me, doing the Gerson therapy full force. I look forward to see how she gets better and better on it. I know there will be ups and down but that is why I created this support group, to help and to listen.

 

 

There is also a great video you might want to buy. Dr. Lorraine Day cured herself of breast cancer and her mother of arthritis with this diet which is very similar to the Gerson Therapy. The video is called " You can't improve on God". Also, another diet that is similar to these with the addition of organic cottage cheese mixed with flax seed oil ( sends healing electrons throughout the body) is called the Johanna Budwig diet.

Take care, Welcome again!
