Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 While I agree with Renee about needing to drink more water, which greatly helps with detoxing, rest assured that the symptoms you are describing are also caused by the toxicity from the candida. They will pass. I suggest adding a good probiotic and digestive enzymes to help with the bloating. Threelac is a great probiotic, specifically designed against candida. www.syclovir.com to get some and for more info on candida. I also recommend adhering to a very low carb, high fiber and greens diet. I follow the one outlined in the Rainbow Green live food by Gabriel Cousens, which is specifically designed to turn off our " self composting " situation created by the over-abundance of candida. Warmly, Tamara There are quite a few herbs and foods that help as diuretics, but as strange as it sounds, what you need to do is drink MORE water. I know it looks as if you are already holding too much because your ankles are swelling, but that will stop once you start drinking more water and helping your system flush out toxins. If you are not drinking much water now, start slowly, but build up to what is recommended by The Water Cure--which is half your body weight in ounces. You take your weight, say you weigh 150 pounds, then half that would be 75 pounds, so that would be 75 ounces of water you'd drink daily. You should also--if you can stand the taste--add a quarter teaspoon REAL salt (like Himalayan salt, or Celtic Sea salt, NOT table salt) per quart of water. This adds the minerals your body needs. If you don't like the taste of the salt in the water (I don't) you can always put the salt on your food, or just stir some up in a small glass of water first thing in the morning and then quickly drink that glass, then follow with something you like, either more plain water or juice. Samala, Renee ---- Hi all ~ first I want to say thank you SO much because I have suffered From a mysterious ailment for almost 3 years now ~ I had just about Every test and examination by my doctor and specialists and no-one Could tell me what was wrong. However after reading your articles on Candida and starting on Cream of Tartar ~ I am slowly starting to get Well. I have more energy and am slowly starting to get back to having a Social life. Thank you all!! My question is however ~ during the illness I have suffered terribly From swollen ankles at night and abdominal bloating at all other times ~ and still do. Is there a natural diruretic I can take for this? Or is There certain fruits or vegetables that act as diuretics? Looking forward to hearing back from you all.
