    Do I need B12/ lab results?

    Thanks, Mary! I am from Europe but even tough we don't have V8 juice here I am sure I can't have it. My diet is extremely limited as I have food intolerances to more than 99% of the foods on earth. I can eat about 5-6 things for years and I am yet to find someone so sensitive. For now I will...

    The Resistant Starch Challenge: Is It The Key We've Been Looking For?

    I actually am doing much better the last 2 days and will give update in future if things start to go better. When I eat the carbs my oral candida flares up, but I am spraying/mouthwashing colloidal silver and aloe vera on it and it is working. Yesterday I saw for the first time in years...

    The Resistant Starch Challenge: Is It The Key We've Been Looking For?

    Re Candida and PHD (Perfect Health Diet). I have read the posts of Ripley, read the PHD book and found statements that 1. Candida feeds on ketons 2. Friendly bacteria feeds just on carbs 3. Fungal immunity needs carbs 4. Furthermore, I read a study that in the presence of ketons Candida develop...
