If you suffer from
acne, allergies, anxiety, asthma, constipation, depression,

earaches, fatigue, headaches, infertility,
lost sex drive, poor memory, muscle weakness,
persistent coughs, premenstrual syndrome, recurrent vaginitis,
skin irritations -
You
may be a victim of The Yeast Syndrome
As you
can see, there is a long list of maladies that can be caused by the Yeast
Syndrome.
Are you tired of hearing from doctors or
family, that it is all in your head ?
Then
this is definitely the diet you may want to research further. You may find
that all
or most of your health problems have an
organic cause.
In
order to follow this diet, which consists of a four-phase healthy eating
program,
and detoxation
you
must have the determination to see it through.
Many
culprits that encourage yeast growth in our systems are
:
~Long term antibiotic use, and additives of
antibiotics in meat and poultry
~Health foods that
are loaded with brewers yeast
~Breads made with
yeast, white flour, breads and cakes
~Gluten
grains
~Dried fruits, such as raisins, apricots,
prunes, dates -are considered from the mold
groups
~Commercial soups
~Alcohol
~Pickled
products
~Nuts
~Vinegar
~Melons, mushrooms
are considered mold groups
~Milk products
except yogurt
~And more including
fruits
As I
have said you must have the willingness and determination to follow this
diet.
The timing for this diet is
long.
Phase ONE of this diet, is very restrictive
and consists of meat / eggs / vegetables /
yogurt.
And Phase One last about 3- 4
weeks.
Phase TWO is moderately restrictive and may be
necessary for 3 - 4 months.
Phase THREE is a
gradual return to a normal eating program that lasts for 6 - 24 months, or
longer.
Phase FOUR basically
unrestricted eating ( limiting processed foods ) is
continued
indefinitely.
The
main goal of this diet is to create a Healthier System, it has claimed to
help
patients with MS, arthritis, lupus,
hypoglycemia, and other untreatable
llnesses.
This 4-Phase diet tends to normalize your
body's weight, therefore if you are over- weight,
you
will see the pounds rolling off.
If you
are under- weight you will see some pounds being
added.
Some programs also require the use of
medicine, such as nystatin which require
monthly liver testing ( blood tests )
Some
people feel bad after the first few days on this diet, it is called the
"die off " period
where yeast
organisms break open and release their toxic cell
contents.
You can reduce your discomfort by drinking
large amounts of purified water,
eating more
roughage such as crunchy vegetables, and taking more
yogurt.
There is a lot involved in this diet type so
it is recommended to read more information
by
visiting your library for
the book
mentioned below.
