I took some more of my own samples in yesterday. Tested O.K. to mushrooms this time, and flunked apples! (Good grief...I eat one or two a day!) Rice and corn were also O.K. Even though we still haven't gone back through all the individual grains I wanted to know about those two so I could eat them.

We talked about my reaction to the Yeast Mix clearing. Besides the reaction in the office I really had a bad few days and was still feeling terrible yesterday. So we tested to see if I had cleared that and I hadn't.

I really think now that systemic yeast must be my problem. After some more research I have found that some of the symptoms include food and environmental allergies. Gee....I guess I have those! I seem to be allergic to everything!

Most naturopaths concur that it happens because of some sort of attack on the immune system. Either prolonged antibiotic use, taking steroids or oral contraceptives on a regular basis, or a high sugar diet. The antibiotic and birth control pills part sure fits. Then they think the candida increases during stress and lowered immune states. Gosh....I guess all those little pesky panic attacks could have helped things along!

So because I was not feeling well and have to do the Yeast Mix again we decided to put that off until Monday. I canceled my Friday appointment. She wanted to give my system a rest. But I had brought a green tea sample in and she cleared that. I wanted to be able to drink it and thought it wouldn't be too hard to clear. I'm almost through with the 25 hours and think I'll go a little longer and just wait until tomorrow to have any. I have read that for bad allergies maybe you should wait 30 hours. Probably should have done that for the yeast.

She said to go home, finish the green tea clearing and then rest and eat whatever I want....not worry too much about what I'm allergic to,... just note reactions. I have cleared most of the basics and they are the underpinning of everything else.

Clearing the yeast is going be pretty time consuming. If I don't clear it the next time she has some supplements for me to use and I should probably do the anti-yeast diet for two weeks. Actually, I should probably do it even if I do clear it. I don't see how clearing the allergy to yeast necessarily means you would be free of systemic yeast.

But if I can get rid of the yeast problem maybe some of these allergies will clear by themselves?? Wouldn't that be nice!!

By the way, the little hand-held device for testing allergies from Dr. Devi's office was useless for me. I couldn't get it to work so I gave it back.
