I went to my naturopath Winona at Sydney Health Clinic last Friday again, to discuss the current development. Was looking forward to that as the diet started pretty good, the thrush did nearly disappear completely, but than came back again, so I was eager to know why. As I was a bit early, I spoke to her colleague specialized in eastern medicine (Chinese medicine) and I got some new ideas.
He checked the thrush on my tongue and explained the principle of Yin and Yang to me with an example of cold and hot water. They have to be in balance, the one can’t exist without the other and vice versa. His conclusion was that I have too much ‘heat’, meaning that the body is out of balance. Thrush on the tongue is apparently an indicator for that. One of the clues he gave me, was to not eat spicy foods as spices always heat up, it’s like throwing wood into a dying fire. It was a new concept to me, but I will consider this in the next part of my diet.
When meeting with Winona I got shown some further mistakes in my diet. They are minor, but since the candida had a long time to settle in my body, I will give him the least possible energy to settle further or resist its extinction. The one mistake was pumpkin soup, as pumpkin can be split into sugars fairly easy. It’s not bad once in a while, but should be consumed only fairly seldom. The other with respect to her colleagues comments was the chili. Rather no hot food and no beef. The digestion needs to have as little animal protein as possible, exception is resh deep sea fish without conservatisves or poisons floating around in the upper water spheres and close to the coast. So no more chicken and beef for the next two weeks.
The costat was empty already and so I got another antimicrobial herbal medicine to address another spectrum of parasite bacteria in my body. So, the diet will continue pretty harsh for another two weeks. But that’s ok, I pretty good adjusted to the diet. I am loosing weight all over the place, now I’m down to 81kg, that is about three and a half Kilogram in two weeks (see the stats in the screenshot from www.ntandme.com below). The soft middle is disappearing after a long time. So I do see the good things happening.
During the first two weeks I exchanged about 6 or 7 emails with Winona to discuss questions and concerns. This was extremely helpful for me as I could adjust my diet using her advice this way. My Nutrition diary on ntandme.com is helping me as well to keep track and often I do plan a day upfront so I am not stuck during the day trying to figure out what to eat, but rather have bought the good things already and just need to prepare them. I told Winona about the tool and she was pretty interested in seeing it, so I am looking forward to feedback. If you have a look, let me know as well what you think.
