I asked him where he does his shopping. He goes to a organic food mart. I told him that I have a Wegman’s, and 2 health food stores. I then asked about what happens after the Candida diet? Does she then go to a gluten free diet? Michael then asked about her blood type and if I knew what it was. There is a concept of Eat Right for Your Blood Type. Some people will eat right for their blood type and thrive, others it won’t have an effect. It’s always something to consider. It’s something that might work for her after the Candida diet is over. I also expressed my concern as to the cost of this food and how I’m supposed to feed her these foods if I can’t afford it. He said I would have to do the best I can. You have to make certain sacrifices. I explained that I’ve been switching over to Organics for awhile now; organic meats, and milk. He then remembered about something he read in regards to milk. They just tested the milk and it’s 300% higher than the safety levels for radiation b/c of what happened in Japan. So they’re saying that we should stay away from dairy. However, eating a raw food diet can be pretty affordable. You can steam veggies. The worst thing you can do is use your microwave. Just throw it away. Don’t even use it. There are some veggies that are better steamed than raw, like broccoli. Broccoli has a very strong cellulose membrane. When you steam it, it softens it and allows you to absorb more nutrients from it. Coleslaw would be a great thing for her to eat. He’s spouting out all the ingredients that go into coleslaw and I’m just thinking in my head, she won’t eat ANY of that.
I moved on and asked about reintroducing foods back in. He said I’ll have to do it little by little. In backtracking in regards to the coleslaw, I told him that my kids will not eat that. He said that over time they will eat this stuff and love it. I laughed and said that he just doesn’t know my kids. He said that kids are going to fight for what they like and for what tastes good. My kids haven’t been eating healthy and now that she’s going through this, I should feed all my kids this new food b/c they’ll all benefit from it. I then explained to him that I have a child that vomits his food and if he’s ever dealt w/ kids like him and he said yes that he has. Most of the time he disguises the foods and that’s what I’m going to have to do. I’m going to have to disguise these foods and not even tell him. In the end what’s going to make them healthy is eating foods high on the nutrition density chart. I asked about popcorn, and he said that it’s okay, but use organic. I asked about eventually the organic cane syrup, brown rice syrup? He said the best sweetener is raw honey and also maple syrup b/c it has a lot of minerals in it. Pure maple syrup is fine. Eventually she can go back to those sugars and if she doesn’t have a reaction to them, then she’ll be fine. These sweeteners have more to them then just the fact that their sweet and that’s what you want.
He said the body is starving to minerals, trace minerals, vitamins, amino acids. With these things, it allows the body to make new cells. If we’re not getting these raw materials in the body, how are we supposed to make new cells? That’s what equals health. When you loose that ability to make new cells is when you start going downhill. What you need to make new cells are the raw materials, especially in growing kids. They need the protein. The human body doesn’t like protein, it likes amino acids. The body takes the proteins and breaks it down into amino acids, and now it uses those to build and detoxify the body. He’s concerned that she’s not digesting her food properly. That’s why I need to monitor her stools. It’s one thing to eat the rights foods, it’s another for your body to assimilate them. The way to assimilate them is 1. you make enough hydrochloric acid to break down the protein. 2. The keim goes into the intestines and signals the gall bladder to release bile. 3. The bile drops and meets the acid keim (the explosion - that’s digestions). Now you have a cloil suspension where the nutrients can go into the blood, go to the liver, be activated and taken to the cell. The question is, is it working for Jeannette properly? Based on my mom’s recollection of Jeannette’s stool at the appointment, she might have problems with elimination. She might be a bit impacted if she’s having a thin stool like that. Mom noticed that her stomach was slightly distended one night. Michael says that’s an indication that she’s not digesting her food. To him, it sounds like the food is sitting in her stomach fermenting, creating endotoxins, and not breaking down the foods. There are 2 ways to address that. 1. vtain hydrochloride which makes stomach acid. But for her, he thinks it’s safer to just go w/ the enzymes.
Michael says that another thing that is going to help w/ her digestion is probiotics, true fiber, and eating foods that are high in fiber. We, as American’s don’t get enough green leafy veggies in our bodies and greens are very alkalizing. There is an acid/alkaline chart that he’s going to send me that outlines which foods are acid forming and those that are alkaline. The diet should consist of 1/3 acid forming and 2/3 alkaline forming foods. That’s important.
One of the keys to health is Vitamin D, which most people are deficient. It’s b/c of the sugar. The sugar doesn’t allow the body to make Vit. D. Those that are eating a very sugarfied diet have very low levels of Vit. D. Iodine is extremely important. That’s gotten from sea vegetables and seafood. I asked about crab/shrimp and he said that he would recommend to avoid those b/c unfortunately the waters aren’t clean. He recommends wild caught salmon, sardines, any small fish (tilapia - wild caught). I then questioned him on the contradiction of polluted oceans, but eat only wild caught fish. It just doesn’t make sense. He agreed. See Mercury bioaccumulates in nature. He used the example of smaller fish being eaten by larger fish and so on. The smallest fish has eaten the algae which contains mercury, the larger fish comes along and eats the smaller fish, and then over time, the largest fish has eaten all these smaller fish on and on that have 100x’s the amount of mercury. By the time you get to Tuna, it’s like 1000 times loaded w/ mercury. He also recommended that if you have amalgam fillings that they be immediately removed. My mom asked about grapes and they are completely out. They are way too high in sugar and they also have mold.

We talked about where to buy food and he mentioned how to look for organic foods. If the numbers on the produce start w/ a 4, it’s conventional. If they start w/ a 9, they’re organic. It’s important to eat organic b/c the herbicides, pesticides, fungicides are a real burden on the liver, immune system, and the digestive system. The liver has a lot of work that it’s trying to accomplish. If you keep adding to your system all these chemicals, the liver is now having to focus on removing those from your body and then it ignores other important issues that your body is also battling. The liver is really taxed out as it is.
Michael then talked about the asyra machine where he can run a test on Jeannette and he then comes up w/ a homeopathic remedy specifically geared towards her body to rebalance all the things that are energetically out of balance. Homeopathic remedies are energy signatures.
I then explained to Michael that I won’t be able to extreme detox her right off the bat. I’ll have to wean her down to the detox stage. There is now way that I could do it otherwise. She wouldn’t eat. Michael says that I just think that. I have to open my mind. I have a fear of her not eating. I’m compromising. I’d rather her eat something then nothing. I have to realize that as long as her body is getting the sugar, it’s going to be all the harder to eliminate the Candida. But w/in reason, I want to give her some of the things that she enjoys. He gives me the same old signature saying, “if she’s hungry, she’s going to eat, even if she doesn’t like it.” See, we create the fear that if she doesn’t eat, she’s going to starve, but he guarantees that if she skips one meal, the next meal she’ll be eating whatever I put in front of her; within reason. He obviously doesn’t know my kids. I also asked about dairy. He said that I should wait on the dairy for now. Maybe try a coconut yogurt w/o sugar. I’m going to have to recondition her palate to eat w/o sugar and it’s not going to be easy. If I have to do it in stages, that’s fine. I can use Stevia/Xylitol for now. He also said to make my own clarified butter.
In conclusion, he said that building health is doing most things that effect your physiology, things that benefit your body. For now, these are the foods that I need to focus on: veggies, protein. No fruits, but when they do get reintroduced, only the berries. The grains will be quinoa, millet, amaranth, and buckwheat (gluten free grains). And when dairy gets reintroduced, I need to use raw dairy which is made from non pasteurized milk. Why raw dairy? B/c when you eat pasteurized milk, you alter the structure of protein. People that are lactose intolerant can actually eat raw dairy. They’re lactose intolerant to the bad milk that we’re drinking. I asked about soy milk and he said the best is hemp milk. He recommends to stay away from the soy products b/c of the estrogen in them. Even if they’re organic, still stay away from them. The best forms of soy is fermented soy. Buy tempe soy. It’s not as harmful for us. Soy can also effect the thyroid. My last question was about brown rice pasta. That product is for people that are really gluten intolerant. It’s not made for people that are on the Candida diet. It’s a better option, then a gluten pasta. The wheat is just so bad nowadays. It’s been hybrodized. Traditionally wheat used to be okay, but now w/ all the genetic engineering, it’s not good for us. All flour has been processed. I just want to stick w/ the grains.
I expressed my concern about how to get all these supplements into her when she can’t eat anything that I was originally giving them to her in. He suggested a protein shake/smoothie and said that I could put everything in there. So I bought a big canister of the vegan protein powder that was chocolate flavored to hopefully make it go down easier. When I got back to mom and dad’s I made one for her, but it was funky. I put too much water in it along w/ too much ice and w/ their super powered blender it blent it too much and it separated. She had some of it and didn’t like it, but drank some anyway. She was starving. Mom tried to give her some celery w/ hummus, but she didn’t like that either. Mom gave her a few crackers to tide her over. Mom had to go back to work and I wanted to run over to Whole Foods to see what else I could find for Jeannette to eat. I bought a bunch of things based on my conversation w/ Michael, the nutritionist. One thing he recommended was Hemp Milk. He said to stay away from Soy products due to the GMO’s and estrogen that is in Soy. So I bought some Hemp milk. I bought some pure maple syrup, which I know she can’t have now in stage one, but he said she would be able to have it in moderation in the later stages when other foods get reintroduced. I also bought some more crackers and hummus. I thought that if she dipped the crackers into something it might taste a little better.
On our ride home, I was trying to talk to Jeannette about our appointment w/ the nutritionist and how he was trying to help us figure out what the appropriate things were that she could eat. She said she was tired, but she wouldn’t fall asleep b/c she wanted to make sure that she got to eat her brown rice when she got home. She asked some questions and asked if she was going to have to be on this diet forever and I tried to explain to her that this wasn’t a diet, but a lifestyle change and not just for her, but for the entire family. I talked to her about how these foods, that we’ll be eating, will make her better and that the foods that she was eating was making her more sick. The new foods will help her go to the bathroom and be able to take a poop w/o it being painful. That all these new foods will make us all feel better and more healthy. I explained that it was going to be tough for us and that we’ll have to try a bunch of new things that we might not like at first but, we’ll learn to like them. It’s going to be a change for all of us.
