anti-mycosis diet anyone?

[Nihil Scimus]

So here we go... I'm setting out to clean all of the gunk that's built up in my system...

So has anyone else here successfully gone through the phases outlined by Dr. Cousens? (Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine)I found an old thread but not many experiences. In any case this is what I'm going for, but since I have no spare time I'm sticking to the simplest of the simple as far as food prep goes. I'm waking up to every second's choices, and as long as I can see through what's going on around me I think I can make it.

ANY success stories? :)

Well, I have cleaned our so much "gunk" in my system that I am approaching half the weight I started at! That is a couple hundred pounds of gunk! And I mean gunk - fat is the most effective storage place for things like mycosis et. al.

I think Dr. Cousens has some very good research, but I think it may be a little too focused on disease instead of health and living. For example, most of my adult life I have had diabetes - the nasty kind - shots and all! I came to raw food trying to avoid gluten after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. 45 days after becoming 100% raw, my doctor took me off all diabetes meds! No shots, no pills, no more gunk!

At that time, I knew nothing about Dr. Cousens and nothing about curing diabetes with Raw Food! Actually, you may consider that my cure for diabetes was a side effect of my Raw Food treatment for Celiac Disease!

Questions... are you now raw with mycosis? Are you 100% Raw?

Mycosis often runs along the same tracts as candidiasis. Do you have candida issues? If you are 100% RAW do you eat a lot of fat? High fat fruits and high fat seeds, nuts, grain, and beans as well as oils are often mententioned on this forum as part of the problem of getting rid of Candida. This may be of some use. Have you tried a green smoothie fast? MANY people have found 30 day, 90 day and 6 months green smoothies fasting a benefit to many issues, including candida which causes many kinds of mycosis.

Systemic mycoses is due to opportunistic pathogens... like alteration of normal flora by antibiotics. Examples of opportunistic mycoses include Candidiasis. If you are 100% RAW, you may benefit from 118 days of low fat and consuming RAW Tibicos daily to help rebuild a normal flora. Then stay raw and your body may heal the mycosis all by itself.

When you are raw, listen to your body and then you may want to apply additional wisdom to your specific needs. Hopes this helps!

Just go raw and you will be surprised how much your life will change!

LOL, I was going by the "www.rawfoodtalk.com" title and the "Raw and Living Food Discussion"- "where you can chat with others about the Raw and Living Food Diet, ask questions and get support." I didn't realize it was CONDITIONAL raw food support... :p

Ahh well, me and the fiancé will be alright. I was amazed to find any community of raw-ers out there at all, honestly. I don't know ANYONE else who eats completely raw, so best of luck to you guys! :cool:

Do you have candida issues?

If you are 100% RAW do you eat a lot of fat?

Have you tried a green smoothie fast?

I have not been diagnosed with mycosis, nor do I have candida issues.

I'm newly 100% raw, and on this particular diet.

I think this diet will be particularly helpful for me because of my previous raw experience. Even after I detoxed I was still breaking out a lot... In fact MUCH worse than ever in my life. I was eating mostly fruit with a green smoothie or so a day. Only after much experimenting have I discovered that for me, when I eat ANYTHING with a lot of sugar, it causes acne flare-ups. So with this diet, I'm basically starving the pathogenic microorganisms (present in all of us) to restore my system to a proper balance. I will not discuss the specifics of this diet, as I realize this would be a violation of the rules here. Still curious to know if anyone has completed the phases!

I have not tried a green smoothie fast, but that's most of what I'm eating now! :) And I feel fantastic.

I'm a biochemist in the works, and Dr. Cousens reasoning and research behind the "anti-mycosis diet" really spoke to me. "Raw" research is what I'm shooting to get into in the future, but that's a ways from now.

Thanks for the input!
