Your shares are very informative Deb, your understanding of the body and how it operates is very much like the way I see things. Bacterial inbalance within the gut is clearly the beginnings of so many illnesses we are seing in the West, and many so called genetic illnesses are becoming more common and it is likely that these same systems are triggering all this too
I am fortuate that I have had my Candida under control for over a year now, and had I not reintroduced starch and lactose so eagerly I might have even had more gut flora balance by now

The treatment I am using right now can take time. It is a bit hard to explain but the idea is that through a gentle process of detoxifcation the gut is stripped of its plaque, any damaged lining is healed and over time the gut repopulates with more favourable bacteria
Metophorically speaking I see all these carb eating pathogens like Candida Klebsiella as gangsters that have taken over the territory. Without a daily lunch and a favouralble atmospher for them, there is little point in them staying around
The daily ketones that I have it is claimed, are removing toxins, metals and so on and hopefully as the gut replemishes itself, it is argued that feeding the immune system appropriately with natural food will make her react more civily, the arguement being she was only messed up in the first place due to the over load of poisons from the modern diet, polution, metals, chemicals and so on
Of course i cannot prove any of this, but I can tell you that before I started working o all this my body was in a terrible mess and I could not function normally i the world
There is still a level of weakness, some illess still present, but I can actually feel my body repairing itself and now I only eat natural foods my body is finding life so much more easier to cope with. It is like the strain has been taken off and with this freedom instead of destroying me my immune system is finding ways to behave more noramally, so we will see
I am so glad I have given up the starch and lactose, my back is much happier and my joint pain is less than 1 out of 10. I still do not think it is time to reintroduce the sugar or the fructose yet. Being away form my pathogens feed gives me a sense of peace. Ad the ketosis, how I love it, I never ever want to loose it, it enables me to have an OK day. keeps my head clear, gvies me strength to excercise and so on
Now I am off the starch and lactose, my morning foginess has improved. I do still get the stiffness, but it is very mild compared to what it was like when i was eating the starch and Lactose
The best way I can describe it is that these pains feel like injury pains. they feel like pains from my damaged sacrioliac joint, but all the illness pains have gone. All I can do now is hope that now my immune system does not need to worry about the imbalance in my gut, and now that these pathogens are decreasing in number, hopefully they will be less likely to pour into my blood or ideed any other part of me where they should not be. And once my immune system realises these battles are over, as she strengthens with natural healing, then she may be able to do some constructive repair to my back
I know this must seem like it is all a bit out there some where, but I know women that have children with brain damage and autism, systematic epilepsy etc, and for years I have seen them follow these natural therapies withonly faith to go by, but their children have stood up and they are now at school with no signs that they struggled like this when they where younger
Deb, I know there will be a natural healer out there for you too, you already know so much, you sound like a healer to me, all you need is for somebody to pull it all together for you. And I wll pray for you, because with all I have seen I really do not think believe anything is incurable. and I can tell you re the type of person that will find healing
all my love Joanne
