I thought in the book that Dr. Graham recommends not using any suplements. Is it a different story with herbs?

It's great Dr. Morse promotes eating fruit but he misses the mark with his herbals, psyllium shakes (scratches your insides producing mucus), and colonics as well as his use of animal bile.  He also does not talk about the importance of exercise.

I would add another Dislike: the use and abuse of innocent animals, usually young ones, for live glands supplement. very painful procedure to squeeze bile out of young bear cub's gallbladder, day after day, until the poor animal becomes useless for this purpose.
Dr. Morse uses these glandulars as a kickstart to his healing modalities.

Contact David Klein for your digestive issues,trust me stick with low fat rv lots and lots of greens,keep the fats out or low til you are well,green juices green smoothies.I find once a week 1 day water fasting to be of a tremendous help to increasing healing progress.Just don't give up ,the body heals in it's own time,we are the ones that stuff it up by being impatient.

I tried doing the 80/10/10 for 3 days, the first two of which I felt it did my body some good, and felt a tremendous healing.

But of course in order to get enough calories since I was just beginning and my stomach was still learning how to stretch, and I am already skinny and didn't want to lose a lot more weight or my mom would freak out and harass me. I started to eat more sweet fruit, and because my teeth were getting sensitive from all the acid. On the third day I had a lunch of dates-and after that I had a terrible headache and my candida symptoms got really really bad. I kept with it though and had a dinner of strawberries and a huge salad. At this point my digestive system had come to almost a complete halt, I had the most excruciating migraine I have ever experienced along with terrible nausea, my eczema was flaring, I had a vaginal yeast infection, I was having extreme anxiety attacks and depression. 

Is there any way to do this diet without the yeast flaring temporarily like this? It was so painful I literally just started taking my pharmaceutical yeast medicine again and went to bed. Could it be that my yeast is much worse because it is coupled with leaky gut syndrome?

 

should I just stick to acid fruits for a while? Is it possible to get your caloric needs for the day this way?

youre going to experience some detox symptoms because your are not that healthy, youre supposed to feel lousy at first, that is your body releasing toxins, like yeast,cold and flue, rashes, mucus, aches, pains, so if you slow down the process, eat some cooked food or some bananas or something, but with melons and berries, grapes, youre going to experience more detox from those fruits, this is called healing crisis, the symptoms you will feel are most likely the symptoms that made you change your diet in the first place, its all a process, stay strong

But I looked up the symptoms for yeast die off, and they are not the same as the symptoms for yeast flaring. What I am concerned about is that my yeast flaring will get too out of control before they start to die off. 

I am just worried as I am starting college and am faced with mental challenges every day. I don't want my foggy yeast brain to hurt my grades. I literally could not think and was in so much pain last night I thought I would vomit. I was having memory issues and thought things had happened that didn't. These are some of the symptoms of extreme candida blooming.

Maybe I need to wait until summer to do this cleanse that is in any way practical for my life.

you should stop comparing this kind of health to traditional allopathic treatment, when you detox everything comes out, like i said before, no way around it, if you cant detox to get all your crap out then just stick with high varieties of fruit and relax, stop over analyzing everything and reading too much, everyone disagrees when it comes to health, the one true thing in health is detox, the only doorway to true health, if you cant handle it, then like i said, just eat lots of fruit and relax, one day at a time, there is no such thing as getting better without releasing the toxins that are in you, its not medical treating which suppresses symptoms, detox lets everything out, then youll be truly healed

I appreciate you had awful symptoms, but 3 days really isn't much time.

 

If you want to slow the release of sugars, eat lots of greens before your meal. Avoid dates for the first few days and stick with higher water content fruits and use bananas for the higher calorie fruits.You will feel much better after a week or so.

 

I remember when I first went raw I couldnt eat dates for the first couple of weeks without experiencing my skin burning. To be honest, after the first couple of months eating raw, I didn't eat dates again for years.

 

Stick with the fruits you enjoy and that make you feel good.

 

Take care

Yes Adam,could not agree more.Any kind of digestive healing i would also avoid/limit dates and stick to juicy fruits and blended bananas with greens.This helps me every time and i am crazy for dates :)Great food when everything is working in perfect functioning order.
