Elchanan - Supplements, Acidity, etc.

[Guest guest]

I am several weeks into the raw diet and, after reading your post on

toxicity, etc., worry about the supplements I haven't yet

discontinued. In the past, I've fallen ill within days after

missing even one round with sore throat, cold, etc. Of course, my

diet is much better now. I'm currently taking C (2/day @ 500mg),

calcium (1200mg/day), pau de arco (3 capsules/day), and

acidophilus. Should I go cold turkey or wane myself off of these?

I really worry about not getting enough calcium in my diet. I've

finally gone cold turkey off my horrible addiction to a BC

Powder/day (used to boost myself before my workouts - had no idea

how bad they were).

 

I have countless symptoms, the worst being blurry vision, dizziness,

cloudy head, and many other candida-type symptoms, including female

issues. I've been researching Rhodiola Rosea (golden root) and was

thinking it would be beneficial in dried root form. What are your

(or anyone else's) thoughts on that? My symptoms don't seem to be

clearing up as of yet.

 

Finally, I have tested my acidity levels on several days as

instructed on the package, and my morning levels are extremely

acidic (very bright yellow - the most acidic there is), but then as

I eat and check it several hours later, they appear closer to

normal. Any ideas what's causing this, and what I need to do

differently?

 

Many thanks.
