Hey!!
So I've been raw for bout nine months now.. I've also been a vegetarian for 6 years and vegan for 2 years...'
I have a question bout CANDiDA and the 80/10/10 diet.. I've been suffering for candida-related issues for exactly TWO LONG YEARS now..=/ At first I did not know it could be Candida...I found it out just a few days ago..!!!! =// So I read many opinions of people who suffered from it and cured themselves by adopting a low fat raw vegan diet..I decided to give it a try.At the beginning of my raw journey I 'enjoyed' a pretty high fat diet yeahh..=// And lately I've not been eating any nuts but still having one avocado per day...
My symptoms are mostly located on my SKiN which is really uncomfortable for me..it's come to the point I have big constant rashes on my body(especially on my hips..) and also on my left hand..they are so itchy...they almost burn..I've been also getting lots of red itchy rashes/spots all over my face...=//
And today is DAY EiGHT of my JOURNEY to RECOVERY ON LOW FAT RAW VEGAN...I have to tell you I notice a great improvement in my symptoms..my face is pretty clear but I'm still getting some itchy rashes on some days..=// and as for now my body is stil really itchy and the rashes on my hips often burn so much =/ My skin is really dry but I keep it going without putting anything on it...
I really belive this lifestyle and food will heal me...it's so natural and I enjoy it soo much!! It feels great to eat as natuure intended =)
But what I'd love to know from you is HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETELY GET RID OF THE CANDIDA SKIN SYMPTOMS??? How long it's been for you and also important ..WHAT DID YOU EAT WHILE CURING CANDIDA..????
Here's my meal plan from today...
1..- Melon blend- 1 honeydew melon blended with water and ice cubes
2.- Strawberry ice cream made wwith strawberries and five small bananas + 2 small kiwi fruits
3.-another Berry ice cream with kiwis (the same ammount)
4.-zucchini spaghetti (from 1 1/2 zucch) with cherry tomatoes and almost a pound of green leaf lettuce lemon juice
Well...I'll be soooooo happy to see some answers from YOU PEOPLE who are following the low fat raw !!!! =DDD

Can you give me an example of all the food you might eat in a day of 80-10-10?
Kiwiandme you can eat FRUIT, GREENS and VEGGiES =D And make lots of things with those =D

You can make green smoothies , puddings, ice-cream ..=)
You can make salads with different stuff there =)
But simplicity is BEST =D
And do you want to start this diet..?? =D
Ohhhh nice eats =DD
zinfandel that's right!! I LOVE RiPE MANGO SLICES wrapped in lettuce leaves...mmmmmmmm....
Do you mono-meal often...?????
Thanks again everyone. Is it a good plan to just eat? Just east losts of fruits and vegetable whenever I want, and when I am hunger. I really don't like planning much. I like to go with the flow. I am nuts about watermelon right now too!
Did you experience any detox-like symptoms when you started? I have been eating 80% raw for 10 days, but I ate 100% raw yesterday, and my stomach is just not right today. It's almost like a hang over with no headache.
By the way, you all have been so very sweet. Thanks for the advice!
I really have eaten quit healthy too. I did limit myself to 1 serving a cereal or a piece of bread a day. I think it may just be all the fiber.
I was looking for dressing recipes for you on GR and all full of nuts, ug! So many nuts!
Hey Agnes,
I don't know if you'd have medicinal herbal teas as they're not strictly raw but for me they're a wonderful addition to the diet. Pau d'arco is such a great anti-fungal tree no fungus grow anywhere around its roots. Taken as tea for a couple of weeks it works miracles on Candida. I usually think a healthy raw diet is enough to help the body heal but sometimes when something is quite out of balance (such as gut flora) then medicinal herbs are just the thing to nudge it back.
Just a thought anyway :) x
