Raw Foods

Absolutley!

Many reasons Here are 10:

1
Raw foods especially fruits and greens are Alkaline Forming as is the normal status for the blood (Ph 7.40)

2.

All Raw fresh fruits and veg are natural antifungals due to naturally occouring elements like Flavenoids or sulpher compounds in garlic, Onions and brocoli

3. Raw fuits and veg bring Oxygen into the body

4.

Raw foods clean the bowel - cooked foods clog the bowel.

5

Raw Live foods stimulate immune function - everytime you eat cooked foods you make a demand on immune function "(white tide)".

6 Raw foods bring intergration because we are designed to eat only raw foods
Cooked foods bring disinterfration.

7. Cooked Fats Cooked Starches and Cooked proteins. Leave toxic residues which cause havoc with bio chemistry and disrupt normal bio terrain.

8 cooked starches and fats interefere with blood sugar balance leading to elevated blood sugars.

9 Fruits have very limited glucose but hi fructose which if eaten with a low fat intake does not cause blood sugar surges.

Raw food is the greatest healer. Hence the father of medicine issued a dictum: Let food Be Thy Medicine.
That Food is live food that has not been killed denatured and deranged by unesecary heat process as is the habit of the sick and dying world today.

Here is a website that explains the chemistry of sugars. What you'll see is that Fructose (fruit sugar) C6H12O6 is a monosaccharide (simple sugar) with the same formula as Glucose but slightly altered atomic structure. The liver converts fructose to glucose, which is then dumped into the intestine and absorbed directly through its wall into the bloodstream

Second, here is an excellent website that presents the science for and against cooking foods. Read it....its very interesting.

Bottom line?

It depends on the food stuff we're talking about. Some benefit from cooking (e.g aids digestibility, breaks down antinutrients), others don't (loss of nutrients, higher digestion time).

Speaking personally, if I eat certain food raw, I could go into the natural gas business, so balance is the key.

Finally, I would say that getting rid of Candida is about fixing the problems that caused it to be there in the first place. You could eat a field full of raw cabbage but it wouldn't help if the Candida is there because of Mercury toxicity and a damaged immune system. It will however get rid of pesky children and spouses, who will move out within 3 days. Guaranteed!



"the same formula as Glucose but slightly altered atomic structure"

Dont put a spin on it - Glucose and Fructose are 2 different things. Similar but different.

Your body grabs Glucose from a potatoe faster than it converts Fructose to glucose.

Also with your cooked staches you will always use fats -ie butter which mess up the sugar metabolism.

You can do as you like diet wise but notwithstanding your body is designed for raw living foods, and the only pure Carb source on the planet is fruits. The fact that people get gas when they suddenly add fibre shows how toxic and blocked the bowel is - the fibre is just stiirring up. it soon settles as you persist. However it is of viral import to CLEAN THE BOWEL. This is where most of the Candida is lodged. Stinking putrefying bowel matter that most people carry around and have the audacity to wonder why they are sick. Then start looking for a magic bullet drug or supplement.

This how deranged and inverted modern civilissed world is full of filth bacteria, fungus parasites virus and prions. Yet still don't want to cleanse and eat clean foods - fruits and veg.

Wesly seaid that cleanliness was next to Godliness. Given that most "civilised" people are so far from God or any reverence from God - is it surprising that people are sofull of putrification and don't even know or care.

Yes they love their foods - the same empty calories that the fungus loves.

Tell then to eat the natural foods in a raw state and they would rather keep the fungus farms.

After 20 years experience it is clear that people are sick due to violation of natural principle.

Recommending fruit to a person with candida is a mistake.


You are correct. Glucose is absorbed directly, while fructose must be converted in the liver. But I thought I mentioned that?

What that means is that in terms of digestion, fructose remains longer in the GI tract and is therefore more available to the Candida.

ROTFL!!!LOL!!! Laughing so hard tears are coming to my eyes.

Thanks for the levity today, Steve!



i agree Derin, but for normal functioning people. we however,are not normal functioning people. especially those with the more severe candida problems. also, i have gone from eating a sugary diet to eating an anticandida *cooked* food diet, and i felt fantastic, which indicates to me its the sugar thats by far and away the biggest issue, not wether food is cooked or not. while it probably is more beneficial to eat raw in the long run, it will do nothing to help with getting rid of candida in the present, if your eating fruits. sugar is the most important issue in candida, especially in the beginning, and especially for severe cases.


No problem !

Great but when you fall into an energy deficit due to lack of carbohyhdrates, the bodies principal energy fuel, and default to bread,rice and pasta etc.
Don't complain that Candida is incurable.
Since you are putting very low grade sugars into your body with these types of food.

If you don't get your carbs from fruit - the perfect source, you'll crave it from bread, grains,n pasta etc. This feeds Candida !

Pure fructose on slow release does not support Candida.

If you are scared of fruits use low sugar ones like Tomatoes,Peppers lemons,garden eggs,Avacodoes. Just get then in you will malfunction without them. Coconuts are also very antifugal due to Caprylic acid content.

But this only works with low fat max 10%. Fat blocks sugar uptake.

It is also vet important to have a high content of greens. Daily. This raises Ph to an inohospitable level for fungus and all parasites!!!

Weak digestion is no excuse. There is
a marvelous invention called a juicer get a quality one - daily veg juicing will change your life. No digestion required.

You can also buy one of the many blending recipe books and blend vegetables.
Though it's funny that people will eat chicken and chips but complain they can't digest veg.

You can also fast(various types) for 10- 21 days - however most don't have the grit or the sheer determination to put their health challenges behind them. Always looking for a pill or a potion easy way out. They want to carry on doing the same old, eating the same non foods and dead cooked foods that brought a health problem in the first place.

In addition you can also use supergreens powders Wheatgrass /barley/chlorella/alfafa.

All cooked foods create sludge in the body which is acid and is ideal terrain for parasites.

There is NO HEALING without cleansing and no healing while continuing to put put toxic dead foods into the body.

So back to 1st principle pull the plug on your Candida and cleanse your bowel.

Doctor ? Qualifications ?

Are you serious? we have had a 100 years of Doctors and people are dying in droves - they have not found a cure for the common cold, yet more people are dying from medications than diseases. Tell me you are joking ?!




yeah, i thought you may have been a mainstream doctor lol. i do actually agree that we need to have some carbs every day to function, i eat a small amount of potatos, probably no more than 30g in total of complex carbs, in 2 meals a day, for a little energy. it also stops alot of the cravings for other carbs, and they dont seem to feed the yeast very much. i base this on the fact that when i do eat potatos, i dont get the taste of alcohol a few hours later, the way i do with fruit or simple sugars. infact a week after changing from a sugary diet to the anticandida diet and eating just potatos, vegetables and meat, my mouth stops tasting of alcohol and generally improves, so i dont believe the potatos do feed yeast very much at all. also 30g of carbs isnt much a day anyway, so you will get die-off from the reduction in carbs alone (if you were eating 100g+ carbs from bread, sugary snacks etc before you started the anticandida diet) i know some people are dead against them, but i think its over the top. as for 'determination' with the diet, its alot more difficult than you may think to change to an anticandida diet, its not simply a case of people being weak willed. alot of people with candida are cronically stressed, add to that die-off can make you crave sugar like a heroin addict, ive had times where ive physically buzzed and it feels asthough your being drawn towards bread!. its very hard to understand untill you actually experience it. and people like you that say things like "100% gaurenteed, when its not, just add to the stress thats already there, because these desperate people then go out and buy juicers, buy expensive food supplements etc and these things have minimal short term effect, and it wastes the little energy they have. i make the point of minimal short term effect, not long term effect because everday is seriously bad when youve got candida, and you need immediate relief, you dont think about a raw food diet and 3 years down the line, you just suffer in the now, all day, everyday, and thats not being overly dramatic i can assure you (the things i go through on a daily basis due to candida you wouldnt believe). the very first thing to do is to get on the anticandida diet for a month or two, then review other options. this will help clear the body and mind a little, and help you prepare for the next stage. its no good just rushing in all guns blazing buying this , that and the other, it doesnt work for most people, they just end up confused, and are more likey to come off the anticandida diet, which can lead to depression and a never ending cycle of yo-yo dieting and candida, its THE worst thing that can happen, i got stuck for years like that, it takes away all your energy and optomism. in my opinion its important not to over complicate things untill the anticandida diet has been in place for a while.


Blah Blah......

But have you cleaned your bowel?

Have you tried whole leaf Aloe ?

Have you stopped eating immune quenching cooked foods for just 7 days ?

Have you upped your greens ?

(if you won't juice at least use powders and eat some salad daily - greens sterilise)!

Unless you apply some discipline - you may find that you go round in circles.

People get into ill health through indisciplined eating !

It takes disciplined eating to get out.

If you get your eating in order - your health will be in order.

Deluded and ignorant doctors blind people to simple health truths.


"Unless you apply some discipline - you may find that you go round in circles".

Good Lord you are talking to the wrong bunch of people! We are nothing if not disciplined.


Just an aside comment - I saw on TV last night that the vast majority of food born illness comes from bacteria and the like on fruit and veggies, NOT from meat, fish chicken or eggs. Something like 2/3 of food illness comes from the "oh so pure" fruit and veggies.


Derin, u dont seem to listen to what im saying to you, please re-read my above post, and take it in. you see i think this is a major part of the problem, you understand the theory, but you dont have any experience of the practice.


Further Important Point !

Most peoples digestion is shot to pieces
Ask any Pharmacist, they will tell you top product that pays the mortgage is Rennies Gaviscom or other digestive type products.

The reason that digestion is ruined is du to consumption of unatural diet and no raw foods.

Raw foods have enzymes intact which aids digestion. Also cooked foods are always eaten in gut rotting combinations (cooked proteins Cooked starches = FERMENTATION) that causes digestive mayhem with stomach acids.

Good news is as you increase the amount og live foods in you diet digestion improves.

Meat takes 12+ hrs to to leave stomach
fruit takes 20 mins.

When sophisticated civilised modern folk stop killing themselves, maybe they will stop killing each other. Then maybe we'll have a decent world to live in. God Help us........


not necessary to eat all foods diet to be healthy. ayurverda recommends against it in fact.

Well, like with all things, it works for some and not for others. We all have differenet constitutions. I have a few friends who are raw foodists and are quite healthy. My friend Jill is the healthiest person I have ever seen and is 100% raw. I was totally raw for 6 months in 2003 and it was not so good for me. Short term, I think its great, and I do eat lots of raw things (young coconuts, raw olives, coconut oil, good quality raw green drink etc..)

There is no one cure for anything, raw foods certainly wont cure candida or the many other things that candida brings to the table.

To go a little deeper...I think cooked foods have a big role in evolution..seperating us from the animals etc..
