Well, maybe we can take extra medication if we have sugar or certain carbs, but that still doesn't address the point of whether it is actually any good for us. How healthy a food is is not necessarily determined by how much it pushes the blood sugar up, but by what effect, if any, it has on the...

I know this will probably be perceived as controversial, but I believe that some carbs are pretty evil. Since my digestion collapsed two and a half years ago, what I have come to realise through all my research is what the body needs above anything, is nutrition. It is high nutrition that is...

I get sweats too. They don't always last for very long but i get pretty clammy at the time. I suspect that they may well be a detox thing. The body does all it's cleaning and clearing at night. A lot of the food, and drink we consume now is very toxic - very processed, high-carb, high-sugar...

Ricky, you are what you eat has never been more true. I know you feel that putting vinegar on your Athlete's foot may have solved the problem, but if you stop the vinegar, eventually it will come back. I have removed most carbs other than some cooked non-starchy veg from my diet and my fungal...

The thing is Ken, the fish may not die immediately - I never said they would, but then we don't die immediately either. But the fish - like us, are much more prone to disease. Real salt, with all it's nutrients intact, is very healing and antiseptic. How do we know that a deficiency in these...

Yes Ken, it might be true, and it might be ok for short term transportation circumstances, but you can't leave the fish in there in the long term. If you go into any pet store worth it's salt :lol: the salt they sell for aquariums is generally pure unrefined sea salt. Either that, or the salt...

How can it be down to Diabetes, when going low-carb got rid of it??? Even having low BG numbers hadn't dealt with it, but removing the carbs did. The fact that i have no more neuropathy quite clearly illustrates to me that it is not down to the Diabetes. I am still Diabetic. I still have to...

PPs. I did find when I had the burning feet, that putting them in HOT water helped more than cold. Law of thermodynamics and all that..... Putting them in cold water actually draws more blood to the feet and makes them hotter - putting them in hot water has the opposite effect - and it...

I had this for years along with raging restless legs until I finally realised that it was carbs and gluten foods that were driving it. I dumped gluten and most carbs and adopted a very low carb nutritious diet based on protein, sat fats and vegetables and pure unrefined sea salt and haven't had...

Sorry - I had no intention to 'hijack' the thread. I never imagined that suggesting you try drinking water instead of other drinks and taking a little - a little bit of salt to keep your electrolytes up would kick off such a stink of over-exaggerated responses! This thread was about thrush and...

Sometimes - just sometimes - you gotta think outside the box. If no one ever thought outside the box, how would we ever discover anything? If no one thinks outside the box, how will they ever discover what causes Diabetes? Or anything else.

Hana - you are right about the salt for cramp. I used to get cramp a lot when I had a reduced salt intake and never realised that was why! I could have saved myself so much agony! I wonder now if the restless legs were an extension of the cramp. Dumping the gluten stopped the restless legs -...

Ally. I am somewhat puzzled that you seem to think that I have 'cured everyone' I have spoken to! Please don't exaggerate. It is not necessary. I haven't 'cured', nor do I claim to have 'cured' anyone. But I do have a very logical brain and what this Doctor - yes, he is a qualified Medical...

Please don't equate what happened to that poor woman with the benefit of drinking more water! No one in their right mind should drink that much water that rapidly! Not only that but she probably didn't have any extra salt and undoubtedly washed all the electrolytes out of her body. Gradually...

Yes, well if you were, as I also suggested, consuming a low-carb diet, then you would probably be consuming very little in the way of foods that would contain hidden salt. We are told to consume less salt because of the risk of it raising blood pressure, and that may be true, but the reason for...

Yeasts thrive on sugars and starches - so anything carby basically. That's what they do - ferment carbs, and turn them into alcohol. The more carbs and sugars we eat, the more we encourage them. Those with severe Candida and yeast issues often suffer with brain-fog - that's the alcohol, it's...

Absolutely. In fact, when I took my reading before bed last night, even though I had had some supper - not a normal occurrence - my level was 4.5!!! I am so excited about this............ :D

Thanks Pat. Yes I forgot to mention that here although I have in the other one or two threads I have mentioned it on. Nobody is taking any notice though, or if they are, they aren't letting on............ :cry:

I have realised that a lot (or even all) of us actually suffer with dehydration. We don't realise it because we think we are having enough to drink. That may be true, but sugar, and anything that converts to sugar in the body is very dehydrating - you know when you have a sugary drink that...
