more candida advice and lessons learned
Molly M. left a comment here that I actually wanted to post to instead of just comment to and it's about candida.
Here's my response to her, but I thought that if anyone else is wondering the same things about candida then you can pretend the response is to you too :). Here goes:
Isn't it interesting that your doctors also seem to think you're crazy. I get very upset that doctors don't seem to want to acknowledge the existence of candida; the reason being, of course, that it doesn't show up on tests. Doctors are trained to read tests and very few in my experience go beyond that. Then there are people like my GI who think that it's all "hocus pocus".
Trust me, you are not crazy.
As for the diet, it is hard at the beginning to adapt to, but I've now been on it for 9 months and aside from the fact that I'm running out of ideas of what to eat, it's really not that hard after a while, especially when the consequences could be extreme pain (or more severe conditions or diseases). You're probably experiencing headaches and extreme cravings as your body goes through withdrawal (especially from the sugar), but the thing is that the cravings will go away. Completely. It's actually the candida that's doing the craving, not you. As soon as you start to keep it at bay, you start to not crave things that are sugary or gluteny.
You will also start to get better at listening to your body. Chances are you've known that something is wrong for a while, but you might have ignored it, or just thought you needed to exercise or eat a bit better, but now, if I mess up and have the slightest amount of sugar in a sauce then I can feel the candida ravishing the sugar and my throat and side start to hurt. You'll become more aware and sensitive to these things. As for the fruit, I'd cut it out completely for at least 2 weeks and then cut it to 2 servings a day (though juice counts as those 2 servings). I was back up to three servings after about 6 months.
You're also right, you do need anti-fungals as well. There are a variety of these available to you, but some are stronger than others and your body may not be able to handle them all. I would advise getting food sensitivity testing done at a naturopath if you can (koru is the name of the equipment and process that does this). They can test candida treatments and see which ones your body can tolerate and can also test the level of candida in your body, and the foods that you need to stay away from. Even though candida is a general condition, it behaves differently in everyone. So, some people may be able to eat certain things while others cannot. That being said, do not eat anything raw or fungusy (including cantelopes, corn and mushrooms — nothing moldy at all). Do not eat gluten or sugar or dairy (though you may be able to tolerate goat dairy). Also, read ingredients in everything closely — no glucose, fructose, cane juice etc. No form of sugar at all and pretty much every product has some form of sugar in it. Even if it's way down on the list of ingredients, just put it back. Grocery shopping will be difficult to begin with, but you'll get better at it and will also get excited when you do find something that you can actually eat!
The anti-fungals will also have to change frequently. Candida is smart and it adapts quickly. At first I just couldn't eat wheat, but it only took a week or two for the candida to adapt and try to survive on all gluten products (so I had to cut out spelt, kamut, etc.)
El peto has a line of candida-friendly breads and pizza crusts. I'm not sure where you live, but they are a Canadian line. I've found a lot more options are available in the Western and South-westen states as well.
Another important thing to take for at least 6 months is L. Asodophilis. This reintroduces the natural flora that is missing (because of the candida) into your stomach. At first I could actually feel the culture in this pill and the candida battling it out in my intestines. Crazy feeling, but you know it's working for the first few weeks.
Take vitamins. B complex, a multi-vitamin, and Calcium with magnesium to supplement everything you're cutting out. Do not buy the crap brand name or jamieson products or anything that isn't all natural as these have by-products and potential harmful chemicals in them for candida-ridden people. Make sure the vitamins are gluten, sugar, and dairy free. Natural Factor and SISU are two good brands.
Massage therapy and osteopathy are also very good to help get rid of candida. If you have these covered, I'd give them a shot.
There aren't too many books out there on this, but the bible is called Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook, Revised 2nd Edition: Everything You Need to Know About Prevention, Treatment & Diet by Jeanne Marie Martin. I have also listed some more books here.
As for more breakfast ideas — I have a great recipe for pancakes that I'll post soon! Hang in there and feel free to ask any more questions that you may have. Good luck!

I'm wondering if you experienced any Candida Overkill symptoms and what you did to offset them. I can tell when the ovekill is getting me. My eyes burn, sinuses flair up and my ears itch like crazy. It's driving me crazy! I get a colonic once a week and try to sweat as much as possible (saunas, hot baths) and occasionally do a BioCleanse foot treatment. Any other ideas???
Thanks, Tracy
Hi – thanks for you blog! I've been on the regime for two months (Nistatin and Tinnalbit and Probiotics) I have multiple other food allergies (milk, soy, eggs) Not much left to eat! I've lost about 12 lbs in 2 months! I've been slipping up lately, cuz I felt good at first. So now I don't feel good again.
So, I can eat some fruit? I've been off of it for 2 months…but I'm still having symptoms.. burping, pain in stomach, like a nawing, burning sensation always. Plus a lump in my throat…. anyone else have that? However, I've totally been cheating with sugar the last two weeks….
hi sandy,
i was reading all this great information – thank you doth. and read yours – your symptoms are excactly what i am going through. i hate the burping, lump in the throat etc. i feel bloated and have a ringing in my ears too. i know this is candida. im sorry you are suffering with this but its comforting to know that i am not alone or crazy. i have been talking to a naturalpathic doctor and his guess was candida. the diet is hard to figure out and that is where i am now – trying to figure it out. so, any recipes would be great – i cant wait to try the rice and cinnamon for breakfast.
Hi there. I've just been recommended a candida diet by my homeopath, just this morning I was looking for something to substitute my coffee cravings, I found a carob drink – it has malt in it – is malt a form of sugar?
malt is a form of sugar
try to find a dandelion hot drink or bamboo coffee
Hi There… I came across your site while fiendishly searching for candida friendly recipes. It still blows me away to find more and moer people suffering from this affliction who have also been told they were crazy by their so called 'medical proffessionals'. Over the past year I began having severe digestive issues which floored me until i was bed ridden. I was sent to specialists who shoved cameras down my throat and up my backside, filled me with radiation, pin pricked, peed in cups galore, and then told that there was nothing wrong with me. Well actually they said IBS which means, according to them, live with it cause its never going away. My own family doctor of over 20 years told me that I needed to go on anti-depressents because it was all in my head and there was nothing physically wrong with me. I truly thought i was losing my freakin' mind! My own friends and family could not believe that the top gastroenterologist in Toronto was wrong. The problem was not with my head but rather in western medicines methodology.
I finally went to see a naturopath, and I am not being dramatic when I say that he has saved my life. I have been off work for almost a year and unable to apply for any help without some sort of diagnosis from an M.D. My naturopath immediately diagnosed Candidiasis and put me on a gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free diet and 1 month in, I fell human for the first time in a year. I had just found out that I am pregnant a few days before I first saw my naturopath, so that means I have to be even more careful with getting enough nutrients and balancing my diet without encouraging the yeast.
I am so thankful for any mentions of candida as it reinforces that not only is it real, but that it can be devastating when overlooked by those you go to for help. Just reading about others with this condition helps me to feel mentally stable again. I sent a bunch of links to my former doctors and 'friends' that didn't believe how bad it had become. I hope it might open their eyes a little.
Thank you for writing and the more people who speak out about their experiences, the fewer in the future who will suffer so much.
I found a great website for recipes at http://www.wholeapproach.com/
tons of stuff to eat that tastes great even for others in the household not on the diet.
I am starting to experiment in the kitchen and i suggest finding as many recipes as you can for things to freeze or can be made easily in very little time. I love to cook but being preggers I am eating 5 – 8 times a day and cooking every meal gets a little trying.
If any body else is going through this in a pregnancy I would love to hear from them as I can not find any resources or others who are having this added worry.
Thanks again
Hello fellow Candida sufferers,
I was dx'd with candida in June of 2006. I am currently on caprylic acid alternating with garlic and nystatin. I have experienced "die off" taking these drugs. I battle with rashes , joint pain, insomia, bloating, dry hair etc. The hardest part of the treatment is finding good accessible food. I have a hardtime eating during the day and it seems that I end up eating the samething over and over(brown rice,garlic, and lettuce w/ lemon. I eat hormone free chicken,salmon etc.
I take probiotics, digestive enzymes, vit C powder, multivitamins. Most days I feel good. I do yoga and weight training. On cold snowy/rainy days I really feel like blah.
I am trying to find good snack ideas and ways to deal with the rashes and dry hair. My doc has me off of sugar(of course) , gluten and dairy.Any suggestions?
Many live cultured foods like kim chi, sour kraut, beet kvass, ect not only spice up the diet but also rebuild the digestion fighting candida and give you alot of energy. I like millet with kim chi, also you can make a delicious quinoi tabbouleh.
as for rashes the skin lungs and bowel(as well as bladder) are the bodies eliminatory organs. If you see a rash on the skin you can cleans more through the others like drinking plenty of clean water taking enemas, colonics or fiber and laxatives (enzymatic therapies simple cleans is good or try cascara segrada) anouther good tool is take blood cleansing herbs like burdock or yellow dock. a combo is good. Burdock all ways clears up my skin almost immediately, also chlorophyll tablets not liquid will move through the gut cleansing and oxygenating and can help
there is conflicting info about live apple cider vinegar. In general vinegar is bad for candida, some say live apple cider vinegar is ok. I like this blended with extra virgin organic olive oil and garlic for a yummy dressing on salad.
p.s with the dry hair one tact is I would make sure you are getting the healthy oils. You can add good quality cold pressed coconut oil to the diet.(I think the nutiva brand tastes really good) It helps kill Candida as well as supplying good fats to the body.(as a matter of fact Caprylic acid is a medium chain fatty acid that comes from coconut I believe)
one last p.s. I like to make pancakes allot. I use ground up nuts, a little flax meal, and allot of egg which is delicious good for you and helps it all rise and stick together.sometimes leavening and salt also. I use a natural alcohol free maple flavoring I get at the health food store (it does have a little glycerin in it) or cinnamon or pumpkin pie spices…
I am also detoxing for Candida, and I am in my 3rd week. I have been researching everthing esp. recipes because of the sugar cravings! I read that peanut butter is not that great because of the mold in peanuts. If you can try Almond butter (it's really yummy!) It contains Vitamin E which should help with dry hair. Also, it curbs my sugar cravings if I have some on a rice cake!
I am experimenting with Stevia now, and I am not having much luck. I ordered the Stevia Cookbook http://www.amazon.com/Stevia-Cookbook-Cooking-Calorie-Free-Sweetener/dp/0895299267 but I am still waiting (impatiently) for it to arrive!
Also, I was reading in the comments how someone came down with Sinusitis, because 2 days ago, I came down with it too. My doctor laughed when I told him about Candida detox. So I didn't get the antibiotic he prescribed, instead I am taking Echinacea and Goldenseal along with Colloidal Silver.
great treatments for sinusitis; take that colloidal silver and use it in a neti pot with salt water as a nasal wash, also internally the Vita-biotic by eclectic institute is amazing to use as alternative to antibiotics, with high doses of zinc and vitamin A it helps heal and strengthen the nasal membranes an their defense as well as with garlic echinachea and other stuff to kill the infection. Bromelain can really help inflimation and symptoms and also vit c
Hi, i cannot believe my luck coming across this site, for a couple of years now i have suffered with vaginal itching, in Aug 2006 i had a stressful time (teaching) and all of a sudden my system went crazy, abdominal bloating, uncontrollable burping, chest and back pain, my doctor diagnosed me with gastric acid reflux for which he gave me dinexan which helped for 2 weeks, then i discovered becoming allergic to all yeast and wheat products, i cut out all sugars, tea, coffee etc, started taking probiotics and colon cleansing now and again, my body seemed to be coming right when in Dec was given antibiotics for tooth problem and since then i feel i am back to square 1, i have had all kinds of blood tests, scopes, ultra sounds, xrays which have all come back negative, doctors all telling me that there's nothing wrong with me and so to know there are other people out there with similar symptoms you cannot believe how comforting that is, because i know i am not imagining what is happening to me, so i can't be crazy, thank you for making this site available
Instead of peanut butter (I've heard that peanuts are problematic for many reasons, including being carcinogenic!) I recommend tehina and I have a recipe for it on my blog (http://candidacandor.blogspot.com/). It is better than peanut butter and I've been having it every morning for breakfast on 2-3 rice cakes. I'm on this anti-Candida diet for 3 weeks so far, and need to be on the particularly rigorous phase of it for 4 months….at least. It's rough going, but I'm losing weight!
Doth, I agree with you that there are undoubtedly many who have Candida but are unaware.
hi. i had food sensitivity done in late december and was found to be sensitive to baker's and brewer's yeast, sugar cane, wheat, oats, white potatoes, pinto & kidney beans, tomatoes, and radishes.
i'll be retested in a year and expect some of these will have gone away, and some will be lifelong.
based on the particular sensitivities, my chiropractor recommended candida testing. turned out i was "weakly positive".
i've followed the food sensitivity diet for 3 months and a candida diet for 2 months. i feel better than ever. my digestive problems have cleared up, and i have more energy. i feel it quickly if i slip up. i take candex and make young coconut kefir to drink, both daily.
my question is, do people ever get off the candida diet and not have to be careful? i'm reading about people on the candida diet for a year or several years. can anyone share their experience of ending the strict diet but keeping candida in balance?
I found your site while looking for Naturopaths/Homeopaths that do the Koru testing. People who have Crohns or Colitis can benifit greatly from food sensitivity testing. I also had problems with the attitude of Doctors and them only masking the symptoms and not agreeing with Naturopaths. People with Crohns and Colitis can also benifit from a Candida diet as we often can't have wheat(gluten) or dairy. I use to live in Ontario, Canada and used El Peto products, I now live in B.C and am looking to find Naturopaths that use Koru so I can get the word out and help people. Thanks for the recipies.
Can someone tell me the status of sugar substitutes
such as Maltitol or Xylitol? Do they also feed the candida? Thanks
Doth…Thank you for the info. on the "itol's."
I have been on a special diet and multiple antifungals for over a year. Eveytime I go off of either the candida seesm to reoccur. I am intrigued by two products I have seen on the web. Does anyone know anything about the efficacy
"Threelac" or another called "candidol?" many thaks
If you have a field full of weeds and you kill off 99% of the weeds the field looks better but if you stop killing the weeds they will regrow and take back over the whole field. You have to put an alternative viable ecosystem in place to combat and prevent the weeds from taking back over. In your body that translates to acidophilus and other desireable bacteria. Threelac is a good product. It is also useful to incorporate into your diet live cultured foods such as suar kraut and kim chi. The book the body ecology diet may a be useful tool. In our culture we eat allot of "dead" foods before pasteurization and refrigeration people got lots of good bacteria by the way the fermented and preserved their foods as well as through raw milk.
good luck
p.s. Nutritional healing is also a good book with lots of good info on nutrition and some good fermented recipies
Have you heard of a product called Threelac? I read about it on this website (http://www.candidasupport.org) and a few others. Not sure if it's for real or not.
I second that, I was skeptical but I found the threelac to be wonderful
hi, Just found your site, looking for recipe ideas for the candida diet. I saw the question about ThreeLac, and I have to share that it was wonderful. I would still be on it, but I didn't realize just how serious they were about NO SUGAR, so although I was starting to feeling better, things suddenly got much worse. After a month on this candida diet, I want to go back to the ThreeLac.
I feel completely overwhelmed by sugar. I
went through my refrigerator last night and
found that almost every condiment and sauce –
salad dressing, ketchup, tomato sauce, salsa,
and even chicken broth! – had sugar in it! And
a lot of this stuff I buy at Whole Foods. Does
anyone know of any companies that make sugar
free, gluten free condiments and sauces? Thanks.
Thank you so much for starting this blog, I am in the process of learning more about this and its so confusing. I am on day 2 of the diet, no one told me about cane juice so I was happily drinking some soy milk that someone told me about. I quickly put that down. Thanks for the advice!
I'm on day 2 of a sugar free diet and have started taking threelac. I need some advice. As I haven't been diagnosed by a professional do you think I should? I have a lot of the symptoms. Also I read somewhere that butter is ok so I have been having that on ryvita for breakfast, but a lot of people are saying avoid dairy. This is really confusing. I thought that by taking threelac, this whole process might take about 2 months….?
Thanks for advice
try using coconut oil/butter – I have just discovered it recently and it is spectacular! I use it to butter my rare piece of spelt bread and to cook/bake with.
Hi there
Thank you for a great blog
I've suffered from candida symptoms for 12-15 years and was diagnosed 3 years ago. I immediately cut sugar, wheat and milk from my diet and lost 14kg in one month! After that the weight stabilized and my symptoms also got more stable. Before I would have days where I could'nt stand up straight for dizzyness and would not be able to remember even the simples things. But the Candida did not go away by changing diet alone. During the last 2 years I have been on and of candida cures with Nystatin, Fluconazol etc. I have had all my amalgam fillings removed and done a subsecuent heavy metal detox using DMSA but all to no avail.
I'm just running out of Nystatin (4th time) and are considering firing my practitioner and go on a "formula 722"-cure on my own.
Lessons learned I could share are:
Sugar free does not mean candida safe, sorbitol, maltitol etc still feeds the candida. Xylitol however does not but is extremely expensive. Aspartame and other full synthetic sweeteners are also "candida safe" but should be avoided for other reasons.
100% pure licorice inhibits oral thrush and tastes great.
Going off wheat and using spelt instead is good, but candida adapts and will learn to feed on this as well even if it grows much slower.
The only commonly available snack I've found not to cause problems is popcorn.
Something to consider I don't know if you are doing is either colonics or coffee enimas followed by acidophilus enema. the idea of this freaks some people out but consider, most of the infection is in the colon. as you kill the yeasts the poisons sit in your gut and are reabsorbed by your body making you even sicker on an already
heavily taxed body. Anouther not as effective but useful if you wont do the other option is a fiber laxitive type supplement that moves the toxins out of the body. The one I think works the best is by the company enzymatic therapy. The one I like is called simple cleanse. It combines a magnesium capsule wich draws water into the bowel and a fiber capsule to clean and push through
Hello there..I am new to this Candida diet, I started just a week ago, and am feeling terrible! My stomach is constantly upset, I am sensitive to even the smallest smells, my head is constantly hurting, I can't sleep but am exhausted. I am just hoping that I will get better and not worse, these comments are very encouraging! I have been sick almost constantly the past 3 years, after I developed mono I came down with terrible seasonal allergies and this is when my body began to break down from all of the antibiotics I was taking for sinus infections. Little did I know at this point I was only hurting myself. I have learned that despite western medical doctor's best efforts, I am not the crazy hypocondriact my doctors have hinted at. I have scored off the charts on all candida testing and am excited to find a reason for my ailment. I have been diligent in my eating and suppliment intake and am hoping to return to my exercising once I am no longer feeling so poorly.
So my questions are, is it normal to feel so awful this first week and will I feel better?
Is extreme weight loss normal? I have lost 8lbs in 5 days, which is always welcomed,however I know how unhealthy it is.
Thanks for the support!!
where did you get the information that candida eats gluten? I have done research on candida for years and have never heard this. Candida eats the sugar that is created when breads are broken down (all things you eat even vegetables are broken down into sugars) but eating bread does not directly feed candida like eating sugar does.. is there a study or website you can reference this?
WOW – that is pretty comprehensive- but hits the nail on the head.
I'm wondering if anyone can answer Nikki's
question from August 18 (how long do these
withdrawl symptoms last for?) and Mary's
from April 5th (is it possible to be "cured"
by the Candida diet and not have to be super
careful with my diet for the rest of my life?)
I don't think I have Candida as badly as most
other sufferers but I have just found out
I have food sensitivies to yeast, milk products
and sugar. My naturopath recommend I try the
Candida diet for a month or so. From reading
all the comments here however it sounds like
once I start cutting these foods out of my
life I can never go back to them without having
crazy reactions! I am having major withdrawl
and it is affecting my work. I'm just not sure
if it's worth it or not, and if the withdrawl
and future reactions (basically, it seems like
I am creating an intolerance in my body to these
foods)is worse than the mild symptoms I
started with.
It is possible to be cured but doesn't happen often. There are two reasons. 1) You have to focus on rebuilding the system that was lost or never present. A healthy bacterial ecosystem in the body. There is very little information about this available to people so its not often done.
2)The modern diet is full of "poisons" to the body , that along with overuse of antibiotics is what got you to where you are today, so yes, if you go back to that same program you will recreate the same problem!:)
Can anyone offer advice to someone who is suffering from recurrent yeast infections due to antibiotic use? I felt fine before I had some dental work done, however I had to take three courses of amoxcicilin within a 6 week period in Oct and Nov 07 and got a vag. yeast infection each time. After I was done with the antibiotics, I got five more within three months. I'm now battling the 8th infection and started the candida diet four days ago. The good news is each infection seems to be milder than the last, so I think I'll eventually be successful at getting rid of the yeast overgrowth.
I'm sure I don't have a systemic yeast infection, so my question is how long should I stay on the diet? I'm aiming for 2 months.
Thank you for all of this helpful information. Does anyone know if Ezekiel cereal is safe? It's made of sprouted grains, so supposedly has no gluton or flour in it.
yes! I am here looking for the same answer concerning ezekiel cereal (and bread) I would love to have some if I can…
Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with Candida about 5 weeks ago, I went on a confused diet for about 2 weeks then became very strict after reading more information. When I started the diet immediately got rid of all my skin rashes and started to feel better right away. However the exterior vaginal and rectal itching/burning increased tremendously. My doctor recommended that I insert a probiotic vaginally and it did help for 1 day and then came right back. My diet is pretty strict with eating salads for breakfast/lunch/dinner and having the rice cereal for breakfast with 1cup unsweetend yogurt for lunch/raw nuts that I roast myself from the freezer, a new dinner with either turkey/chicken/bison or some other lean meat every night. I Usually have Dr. Mercola's protien shake that is made with stevia and xylitol. pretty tasty. However nothing seems to change the vaginal discomfort. Does anyone know if this is typical of die off or is there something else I need to change in my diet that I have not discovered. It is hard to detect because it is ongoing. Thanks for any advise,
It can be typical die off. In Chinese medicine they say rashes can be good because it shows the disease or poison moving from the inside to the outside of the body as it leaves. Still you want to help this leaving process happen as quickly and painlessly as possible. for an itchy outer vagina I recommend take tea tree oil on a tissue and thoroughly wipe the entire area. This usually works. also This has happened to me when I took anti fungals (caprylic acid) in the past wich did greatly relieve the internal yeasts so for me it was a step on the way to getting better. I dont know if it is for you but i would recomend trying the tea tree oil. it can sting for a minute on the anus but it seems to resolve the problem.
It's great finding these comments on a problem that I have been working on for over 20 years. I was dxd with Candida back in the mid-80s, and if you think they are callling you crazy now, you should have been back in the "dark ages" dealing with it. I am working on it – again – and will probably always have to work on it. It is possible to stay on the diet for good without any mess-ups – but it is more realistic to assume that you will stray, as long as you remember that you need to get back to the serious work of healing it again. Oh, and this time my husband is also on it. You know, you do pass it back and forth to your intimate loved one. Maybe I will always have to watch my diet, but aren't there plenty of other things that we have to take care of in order to take care of ourselves? If we feel we are doing too much and we get tired, don't we have to slow it down a bit, maybe even take a vacation? How is this so different? DON'T GIVE UP!! It's worth the fight to keep your health!!
im trying the candida diet
no human can do this
any recipes
hi! i have an 8 year old on the very restricted candida diet. i am very confused about the carbs and need help. she is detoxing and whiny, wants to eat anything. i have been working steadily at having a "menu" posted daily, but it's getting old fast. i need some breakfast "kid" ideas, and i also would like to talk to somebody about the carb thing. she is taking a very good antifungal from our homeopathic dr.
I have been on a diet for 6 weeks now..i ned help with liver detox..What antifungal are good???does anyone does colon cleanser?
does anyone is on BED diet?
don't know if you still need advice. Caprylic acid antifungal available through health food channels no need of perscription. Thysilyn by natures way excellent milk thistle product for liver or get a cleanse from enzymatic therapy they have one that has fiber, laxative, and a liver cleanse all in one box I believe
I have candida really bad however it has become enormously better in the last 2 months. I have researched over the last 9 months and tried everything as my symptoms were uncontrollable itching, weight gain, leaky gut, nervous system mood changes and anxiety plus more. This is what I have taken and continue too and it is working. Cell Food 3 times, daily, threelac probiotics, oregano oil internally(all daily) dead sea salt bath 3 times weekly and I eat only foods for my blood type (HUGE) I do not itch anymore, I sleep normally at night, I am not irritable or no anxiety and have lost 30 pounds. It take at least a year to fully be rid of the yeast of candida if you really stick to a plan. Your diet and what foods you eat is huge.
Hey Maria,
What is Cell Food?
Hello. I'm a 62 year old woman who has been suffering with yeast probs for years, and finally decided to give the Candida diet a try.
I will go shopping today. It's Day 1 for me. I hope to follow along with your blog, needing all the help I can get. Fortunately, I have a new neighbour who is developing gluten-free food products, and used to work with the Natura people. I'll talk to her; she is totally non-pushy and a trained accupuncturist.
Have you tried accupuncture for candida?
I appreciate all your help you are so generously offering. It is very kind of you.
Hello everyone.
I'm in the UK and i'm 26. I've had problems with my health since i was about 9-10years old and they just got worse and worse. I had 4 operations on my feet during my teenage years and had glandular fever when i was 15. all of these resulted in the GPs (doctors) putting me on antiobiotics constantly.
I cut out dairy 3 years ago because i knew that was causing a problem. but i was still ill. Then i went for a colonic last year and the therapist made me fill out a questionnaire.
Thats when the word Candida first entered my vocabulary. I didn't understand it and the factsheet the lady gave me wasn't enough to make me realise how serious this is.
A year on and i am seeing a homeopathic doctor who tested me for various allergies and has put me on some medication and one of the rememdies is for Candida. I thought – i'd best research this now.
Its day 7 of the diet for me. I found an excellent book in my local health food shop – "cooking without" by Barbara Cousins.
I allow myself a green apple every other day but am thinking i may cut this out too for a while. tonight i have laid on my bed massaging and holding my bloated cramping painful stomach and reading every inch of this blog for support.
If anyone wants to talk or is feeling crappy – email me; firstname.lastname@example.com. I'm feeling awful and "why me" today.
Helen. xxx
dont know if you are still feeling bad. when your gut feels so crappy like that from die of or overgrowth move stuff on through with a coffee enema, colonic, or an herbal bowel cleanser. (The enzymatic therapy simple cleans works well) dont keep the poison in reabsorbing it and suffering. I took threelac and it gave me gas for one night while cleansing then kept me really regular and free of the symptoms you describe. I was also doing other things as well though
what do you suggest for breakfast starting out. I've done the candida diet b/f, it's a challenge. starting over. actually going vegan style so can't do eggs. not sure if it's okay to start off with the pancakes you mention. Let me know what you did the first couple of weeks. Thanks so much! HK
my fav breakfast –
Rice flakes, creamed coconut & soya milk & dessicated coconut.
melt the creamed coconut (a generous blob) in a saucepan with some soya milk (or other dairy alternative milk), then when thats melted add some rice flakes ( i found rice and buckwheat flakes in my local sainsburys and i love this).
Stir in the flakes with the milk and add more milk as and when needed (you need to cook the flakes for at least 3-4minutes and sometimes this can boil the milk dry so just add more when it gets too lumpy… i never measure. then add the descicated coconut and keep stirring until its cooked for those 3-4 minutes.
if you can handle sweetcorn – add some of this in too.
tis yummy if you like coconut which i do – and coconut is great for candida sufferers!
Can you use Xylitol as a sweeter?
I know the other alcohol sugars like maltitol no, but I keep hearing yes on zylitol? I haven't found any definitive info yet but I am looking too. I know it was originally from birch bark. The emerald valley brand I think still is and now many companies make it from corn. I am more suspicious of the corn derived xylitol because with inulin the corn derived is a shorter chain sugar wich is bad for candida while the original was a longer chain, (or so I am told). One thing to keep in mind is that It is chemically processed and that leaves harmful chemical residue in the food product. (just like many protien powders) I understand there is anouther way to process it (like with protien powder it can be enzymatically processed) but I dont know if that is on the market yet.
I just wanted to thank you for your blog. I
have just recently started the diet and it's
quite the challenge. I fell off the wagon over
the Christmas holidays and I'm finding it
extremely difficult to get back on. However,
having just found your blog, I feel that it
is going to be extremely helpful, so thank you!
I had one question for you (for now), I was
wondering if you've had a hard time explaining
this to people and getting them to agree with
what you are doing. It's been extremely
difficult to explain the disease to people
and that the only way to treat it is
by a very restrictive diet.
Thank you.
hi thanks for all the comments and replys posted and to read about other peoples symptoms that i also have and did not attribute to candida.I have just started embarking on the candida diet and found this blog very helpful.
Hi again gould you please tell me when you take nystatin with probotics as i have been told two different theorys one is to take nysat 4x day and probotic at night and the other nystat 4x day x5 days and probotic other 2 days
thanks darrin nz
What a wonderful blog you have! I just stumbled upon it on a google search and will continue to keep reading more of all these posts and terrific information. The typical American diet has made us a mess. I developed a horrible breast yeast infection after having my baby and breastfeeding. The drs. and even a lactation consultant seemed pretty ignorant about how to treat it. The infection was so bad that I could hardly even put on clothes and leave the house due to immense pain in/on my nipples. Thank god for the internet- I found out so much more about what to do to help cure the infection (such as Pat Gima's breast yeast infection treatment plan) and have totally changed the way I eat: no more fast food, frozen food, processed foods, cheese, cookies, Starbucks drinks, etc. It's a bummer to no longer be able to hang out at cafes indulging my sweet tooth, or eat pizza, but it's for the better in the long run and I have lost the pregnancy pounds really quickly eating lots of vegetables and freshly prepared, homecooked meals. Xylitol has been great too, for a little bit of sweetness in my diet. It has also been quite costly- the Nature's Way Primadophilus and Kyolic garlic capsules cost about $25 or more per bottle, and I continue to take 100mg Diflucan daily. This has been a horrible, depressing condition but luckily after 4 months of hell, things are looking up. More people, esp. women who breastfeed, need to be educated about how to treat these yeast infections.
I have moderate to severe Candida and was wondering weather I could eat brown rice, soy, and oatmeal. The books and websites seem to contradict each other. some say that you are able to, while others say not to. I was also wondering if anyone else had either post nasal drip or bad breath as a symptom. This is a very helpful blog. Good to know that I am no alone.
yes, i think you can but only in small quantities. of course it depends on your own sensitivities. i read on a couple of candida blogs that you should not have more than 15 grams of carbs per meal. that works out to maybe only 1/4 cup of oatmeal.
Can anyone tell me if plain all natural Chobani Greek yogurt is ok to eat. I'm confused b/c some sites say you can eat yogurt b/c of the live cultures and others say no.
To those on the diet 6 months or more, are you able to eat fruit and whole grains no problem?
If one cleanses, kills and diets perfect fro long enough can one recover and be able to eat any sweets or wine again with out it coming back?
Ive been battle it for 6 years, I diet take the antifungals and probitoics in 2-3 month I feel great in about 4-6 its ravaging me again, so now my doc has me on a long term treatment plan whihc Ive never done, but none can tell me if I always have to stay on a 100% sugar free diet.
hi everyone… just wondering has anyone else experienced a break out of a rash on treating the candida?? I started treating for candida when my lecturer in college said i should due to all my food intolerances!…. but after 4 days or so, i started breaking out in this rash, now its spreading more and more after almost 3 wks on the diet! i am very disciplined with my diet and eating all the right foods and taking an anti-fungal and also grapefruit seed extract plus a HCL and pepsin supplement.
Has anyone else experienced this?? I went to my GP and he said he doesn't know what it is.
I don't know what your rash looks like but I have had skin breakout of various kind. Some were pimple like, a small number of them were nasty boil like, some appeared as bumps under the skin only to disappear after a few days, while a few others were round quarter size rashes that itch for a few day. I believe these have all been all signs that the body is working at purging toxins from the body.
I recently had a colonic done, and saw the candida for my self! I also had tonnes of undigested food in my gut- heaven for the candida! The hydrotherapist also got me to go on bentonite and caprylic acid (which are both worth Googling!)
Coconut oil, Bragg's apple cider vinegar, Tibetan milk mushroom kefir (yogurt drink) fight candida. Standard Process has great organic supplements to fight candida. Try 1-2 table spoons of coconut oil a day. Don't overdo it though: the die off can be too rapid. I ate an extra couple of spoons once and had fever and blacked out (as in falling to the floor and almost passing out). So it really works. Raw sauerkraut and and other unpasturized fermented veggies have been great, too. If you eat cheese, make it raw. Traider Joe's has raw cheese for a resonable price.
My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a number
of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.
net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
I could not resist commenting. Perfectly
referencement google
Where did you actually end up getting the points to compose ""more candida advice and
lessons learned | Friends Keep Saying I Should Blog…"?
Thanks ,Alberta

Barcelona 3-1 AC Milan: Messi catapults Catalans into last 16
Lionel Messi rocketed back into goalscoring form by firing Barcelona into the knock-out stages of the Champions League in a 3-1 win over AC Milan.
The Argentina international had not scored in three games prior to the Group H clash, but he put the Catalan giants ahead after half an hour at Camp Nou, scoring from the penalty spot after Neymar had been brought down by Ignazio Abate.
Sergio Busquets headed the home side further in front nine minutes later, when he got just enough contact on an inswinging set piece from Xavi to guide the ball home and register his second goal of the season.
Milan pulled one back a minute before the break courtesy of Gerard Pique's own goal – with Kaka's cross being diverted past Victor Valdes courtesy of a ricochet off the defender.
But Messi scored his second after 83 minutes, following good link-up play with Cesc Fabregas, as Barcelona moved five points clear at the top of their group and kept up their unbeaten home record.
Carles Puyol failed to make the bench for Barca, despite having featured twice since his return from a long-term knee injury, with Javier Mascherano and Pique starting in the centre of defence for the second successive game.
Massimiliano Allegri left striker Mario Balotelli on the bench, after a run of four games without a goal, while Kaka made his 90th Champions League appearance as the coach sought to avoid a fifth successive match without a win.
The home side made much of the early running, Xavi curling a free kick just wide after three minutes, before Messi was crowded out in the area as he attempted to fashion an opportunity.
Alexis then came close to nudging home Adriano's cross after 21 minutes, but he was unable to connect at the far post.
Barca went ahead through Messi on the half-hour mark when he powered a penalty past Christian Abbiati.
Neymar was hauled down in the box by Abate as he attempted to reach a dinked Andres Iniesta throughball, with Messi keeping his cool to score his fifth goal of Barcelona's European campaign.
Riccardo Montolivo almost levelled six minutes later, flashing an effort wide of Valdes' right-hand post, but Barca continued to dominate and doubled their lead five minutes from the break.
Busquets glanced home a header from Xavi's delivery to give Abbiati no chance.
Milan, though, pulled one back in the final minute of the half, when they were given a lifeline in somewhat fortuitous circumstances as Kaka's attempted pull back clipped Pique and found its way past a wrong-footed Valdes.
Balotelli was introduced at the break and was quickly into the action, shaking off Mascherano and Adriano in the area before hitting a fierce shot that Valdes smothered.
The Italian then set up Kaka, who could only fire wide from close range, as Milan started the second half with purpose.
However, while they enjoyed plenty of possession, they failed to carve out clear-cut chances, as Barca's defence stood firm, while Neymar and Sanchez reminded Milan of their threat on the counter.
Messi completed his double and wrapped up the match seven minutes from time, finishing neatly after a clever one-two with Fabregas to put Barca on the verge of the knockout phase.

The ideas of a Constitution and Parliament, of electivity and representation emerged even before the restoration of the Bulgarian State in 1878 under the influence of European thinking and practices. The epitome of some of these ideas could be seen in the convocation, proceedings and decisions of the Ecclesiastical and People's Council held in Constantinople in 1871 (the adoption of the Statute of the Bulgarian Exarchate) and the activities of the Bulgarian national revolutionary movement (BRCC), which set itself the task of liberation and establishment of an independent Bulgarian state. The Assembly in Oborishte held on 14 April (old style) 1876 made the historic decision to announce the April Uprising, having all grounds to be considered the precursor of the Bulgarian National Assembly and parliamentarianism in Bulgaria. It was again prior to the Liberation that the Bulgarian public raised the idea of a constitutional government. The Political Programme of BCPS (former BRCC), which was worked out for the Bulgarian People's Assembly at the end of 1876 and sent to the Istanbul Ambassadors' Conference, emphasized that the Bulgarian statehood had to be restored and explicitly stated that: "The Bulgarian State will be governed independently in accordance with a Constitution elaborated by a legislature elected by the people". It further read in the following two articles that "All branches of government will have special laws in the spirit of the Statute and in accordance of the people's needs" and "All foreign nationalities intermingled with the Bulgarian people will enjoy the same political and civil justice". This is not only the historical tradition but also the democratic principle underlying political life in post-Liberation Bulgaria.
The Constituent Assembly in Veliko Turnovo (10 February 1879 – 16 April 1879) set the beginnings of parliamentary life in liberated Bulgaria. It was convened in accordance with Article 4 of the Berlin Treaty. It consisted of 229 members (100 were elected at a ratio of one per 10,000 inhabitants and the others participated ex officio either appointed or representing associations and organisations). Instead of the Organic Statute prescribed by the Berlin Congress, the members of the Constituent Assembly worked out the Turnovo Constitution and signed it unanimously on 16 April 1879. It included 169 articles grouped into 22 chapters. The Principality of Bulgaria was defined as "a hereditary and constitutional monarchy with people's representation". The National Assembly could be either grand or ordinary. The Assembly adopted the principle of separation of powers into executive, legislative and judiciary. The Constitution protected civil freedoms, the inviolability of ownership, the freedom of individuals, the equality before law, the right to association, the abolition of class-related rights and slavery, etc. Eastern Roumelia, a short-lived province with its centre in Plovdiv, which survived from 1879 to the Unification in 1885, had an Organic Statute in force. It was developed by a special commission consisting of representatives of the Great Powers and the Ottoman Empire. The Statute provided for strict separation of powers and the Provincial Assembly was at the top of the legislative power. It consisted of seven religious leaders ex officio, ten representatives appointed by the Governor, and 36 elected members. The ten-member Standing Committee ensured the co-ordination between the Governor and the legislative power exercised by the Provincial Assembly. The Turnovo Constitution was the fundamental law of Bulgaria from 1879 to 1947. It was amended twice on 15 May 1893 and 11 July 1911 and it was suspended twice at the time of the Full Powers Regime (1 July 1881 – 6 September 1883) and the 19 May Regime (1934).
The Seventh Grand National Assembly voted the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria on 12 July 1991. It also consists of 169 articles grouped into ten chapters but it has transitional and final provisions in nine paragraphs. The July 1991 Constitution states that Bulgaria is a republic with parliamentary government and it is a democratic and social state with rule of law. It enshrines the principles of separation of powers, the rights and freedoms of citizens, and the supremacy of the Constitution. The National Assembly elected for a four-year term and consisting of 240 Members of Parliament exercises the legislative power and parliamentary oversight. Unlike the preceding fundamental laws, the July 1991 Constitution states that the National Assembly is a standing body. Its sittings are open to the public, and the laws and decisions it makes are binding on all state bodies, organisations and citizens of the Republic of Bulgaria. The Members of Parliament represent not only the voters in their respective constituency but also the entire people. They are guided in their actions by the Constitution and the laws, acting in accordance with their conscience and convictions. The Constitution provides for both Ordinary and Grand National Assemblies to be elected. The Grand National Assembly is convened on special occasions such as the adoption of a new Constitution or a change of the form of government or essential amendments explicitly stated in the provisions of the existing Constitution. 39 Ordinary National Assemblies and seven Grand National Assemblies (1879, 1881, 1886-1887, 1893, 1911, 1946-1949, and 1990-1991) have been elected and functioned so far. For a short period of time after the suspension of the Turnovo Constitution during the Full Powers Regime (1881-1883), a State Council functioned as the supreme institution. In the wake of the democratic changes since November 1989 and the decisions of the National Round Table, in April 1990 the National Assembly voted an amendment to the 1971 Constitution pending the adoption of the existing Constitution.
The building where the 41st National Assembly sits is of historic significance and it is a monument of culture. It was built in 1884-1886 at the design of architect Constantin Yovanovic, who studied in Vienna and Switzerland and authored the design of the Serbian Assembly (1891-1892) as well. The style of the building is neo-Renaissance. The interior has been refurbished many times but its appearance has been basically preserved in its original shape. Since 1991, the National Assembly has been using another building as well, that in 1 Knyaz Alexander I Square.

Winners of the 2004 Feynman Prizes in Nanotechnology
Dr. David Baker of the University of Washington, Department of Biochemistry, and Dr. Brian Kuhlman, of the University of North Carolina, Dept of Biochemistry and Biophysics, received the theory prize for their development of RosettaDesign, a program that has a high success rate in designing stable protein structures with a specified backbone folding structure. Their work includes the design of the first protein to be constructed with a backbone fold not observed in nature; in experimental testing, the novel backbone structure was found to be extremely stable and to match the predicted structure with atomic-level accuracy. Their work marks a milestone on a path to molecular machine systems. Professor Baker has made RosettaDesign freely available to the research community.
The Foresight Institute Feynman Prize for experimental work was awarded to Dr. Homme Hellinga, of Duke University's, Department of Biochemistry, for his achievement in the engineering of atomically precise devices capable of precise manipulation of other molecular structures. Building on a broad base of achievement in computationally directed protein engineering, he has extended this work to the construction of an enzyme. This achievement demonstrates an innovative blend of techniques, applying computational design to reengineer a structure found in nature into a novel one with a different function. This work breaks new ground in engineering devices that transform molecular structures.

The following four individuals or teams were selected as Finalists for the 2004 Foresight Institute Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (Theory):
2004 Foresight Institute Feynman Prize for Theoretical and Experimental Molecular Nanotechnology
Two prizes in the amount of $10,000 each will be awarded to the researchers whose recent work has most advanced the achievement of Feynman's goal for nanotechnology: molecular manufacturing, defined as the construction of atomically-precise products through the use of molecular machine systems. This year again separate prizes will be awarded for theoretical work and for experimental work. The prizes will be announced at a gala banquet at the 1st Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology: Research, Applications, and Policy, to be held October 21-24, 2004, at the Crystal City Marriott Hotel (Washington, DC Area).
This prize is given in honor of Richard P. Feynman who, in 1959, gave a visionary talk at Caltech in which he said "The problems of chemistry and biology can be greatly helped if our ability to see what we are doing, and to do things on an atomic level, is ultimately developeda development which I think cannot be avoided."
Relevant Research Areas
Research areas considered relevant to MNT (e.g., molecular manufacturing and molecular machine systems) include but are not limited to:
Special consideration will be given to submissions clearly leading toward the construction of a general-purpose molecular assembler. Applicants wishing further information on the field of the prize are referred to the book Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation (Wiley Interscience, 1992).
Selection Committee for the 2004 Prize
A committee chaired by Foresight VP Technology Assessment Ralph Merkle—1998 Feynman Prize (Theory) co-recipient—will be asked to select this year's honorees.

Maison De Moggy – Release your inner feline at Maison de Moggy, Scotland's first ever cat café. With a range of different breeds of cats to talk to and play with whilst having a cuppa and a cake, this truly is the best place for all cat lovers in Edinburgh!
Panda & Sons – Arguably Edinburgh's most well-hidden cocktail bar! Walking past, it looks like a retro barber shop, but you have to delve inside, through the secret bookcase to get down into the bar. With an extensive cocktail, wine and craft beer list, Panda & Sons is a brilliant find and a really cool place to have a drink.
Leith and Stockbridge Market – Held every Saturday, these markets are a great place to pick up some local produce as well as some filling street food. On the first Saturday of every month, the market also holds its own vegan stall too.
Lauriston Castle – A beautiful castle with beautiful views over the North Sea. Why not take a walk through the Japanese Gardens, take a tour of the castle, or catch one of the costumed shows in the grounds. You can also take a walk along Cramond beach for an ice cream once you're done!
Dean Village – A 19th century village that was famous for its water mills. You can take a walk back in time by wandering through this village, seeing sights like, St. Bernard's Well and Well Court. Just a five minute walk from Princes Street, visiting the village is a no-brainer!
Wings – Exactly what it says on the tin! The only restaurant in Edinburgh specifically dedicated to chicken wings. With 7 different categories, loads of different varieties and an array of heat levels, Wings literally has it all when it comes to, well, wings! The walls are lathered in sci-fi memorabilia, definitely a place for a chicken lover.
National Museum of Scotland Rooftop Terrace – Located on the 7th floor of the National Museum, the rooftop terrace is often missed by visitors. You will struggle to find a better view of the city from here, it is a beautiful terrace with a view of almost everything. There is also a map telling you what you are looking at in each direction if you aren't too familiar with the Edinburgh skyline.

The big Super Bowl question concerning Tom Brady isn't "Is he injured?", but rather "Will he have his nails done?" One can bet that the answer is affirmative, as word has leaked that the Patriots' quarterback will have his own hair stylist on hand in Glendale this weekend. They're calling him a barber, but come on; his name is Pini Swissa.
"I did Tom Brady (Tuesday), and right before the Super Bowl, it's a surprise for everybody. Saturday night, I'm gonna cut it off. Saturday night, we're gonna cut it really, really off. We've been doing it the last couple Super Bowls, and Tom Brady is the last person to be superstitious. Every Super Bowl, I cut his hair off. I hope the helmet's gonna fit after I cut his hair off."
When the conversation turns to Greatest Quarterback of All Time, one supposes that Brady's name deserves to be in the mix. But how can I consider a guy who has a hairstylist on retainer? Didn't Johnny Unitas just let a kid roll over his head with a lawnmower a couple of times a year?

i think, theres one little error with that, when someone says Lamecraft in his post, it can pop up, but when this guy has also Lamecraft in his signature, it will also pop up, so that means, its possible to have Lamecraft 2 times in one post ^^wololo wrote:These two things are done. I set a fixed width/height for the popup, so it should work on all browsers. I also limited the links to 3 times the same homebrew per page, and once maximum per post. This should limit the "overuse of popups" on subforums such as the lamecraft one.wololo wrote: - fix the weird size issue that some people experience on Firefox (this one's really weird, firefox is my browser, the plugin was developed and tested a lot on this browser)
- investigate the possibility to limit the amount of times a given homebrew gets highlighted per page (codestation's suggestion)
I wanted to work on an option to deactivate the plugin in the user control panel today, but instead I investigated an HBL thing...

Sugar Rush: Lemon Cake from La Maison du Chocolat
La Maison du Chocolat might be known for all things chocolate, but Lemon Cakes ($6) are worth forgoing the chocolate for. They're kept behind the glass cases towards the back of the shop, near neatly organized rows of softly hued macarons. The cake is a buttery, zesty creature with a sticky golden surface. Lemon juice and rind appear in the tender, even-crumbed cake. Classic and simple. Have it to stay in the cafe, or, better yet, take it home and warm up with a cup of tea and the entire cake for yourself.

Genetic Engineering:
"Will the Nanotechnology Industry Prosper Like the Silicon/Software Industry?" (Ted Sabety)
The purpose of this SIG is to consider this question: does Nanotechnology enjoy a similar situation to the political, economic and legal environment that silicon technology did that fostered such a revolutionary result in so short a time? Is the current and future environment sufficient? Is it better? If not, what should we do? Historical statistics and other data shall be presented to provide a factual context to the discussion.
Consider how much Federal tax revenue in the 1960's funded things like advanced computer science, communications, space flight and electronics. In addition, monopolies (and quasi-monopolies) like AT&T and IBM had huge research budgets funding revolutionary creations. Yet the anti-trust legal environment forced AT&T and IBM to widely cross license their intellectual property: the most famous case of which is Bell Laboratories licensing Sony to make transistor radios. And the military, through DARPA, funded creation of the ARPAnet and TCP/IP to address defensive command and control issues during a nuclear war, but it was commercialized in 1993 as the Internet.
So how does our current and future political, economic and legal climate for Nanotechnology compare? Are too many of the seminal advancements in Nanotechnology held by a few large corporations? Will the government or courts require that these seminal technologies be licensed? Will the thirst for economic return entice investors of early stage start-ups to seek acquisition by large corporations, thus increasing concentration? Will blocking patents foster cross-licensing or will such a process take too long to work out? What will the effect of publicly funded Nanotechnology on the business environment be?
In sum, what kind of legal, policy and business context should we be promoting in tandem with the technology itself in order to foster investment, provide a return, and create a growing nanotechnology business eco-system as rich as that for silicon and software?
"Molecular Dynamic Simulation of Nanomechanical Devices" (Josh Hall)
Josh will discuss his recent work in making dynamic simulations of the molecular planetary gear and show the resulting movies. To read about this work in advance and see the simulations on your own machine, see
"Accelerating Change & the Nano/Bio/Info/Cogno Convergence" (Philippe Van Nedervelde)
Philippe will lead a group discussion on these topics. To prepare, see these webpages:
"Artificial Intelligence through Self-Modification" (Steve Omohundro)
We are very close to building systems that are self-aware, can learn from their experiences, and can modify and improve every aspect of their behavior. This session will be a free-ranging discussion of the issues regarding this kind of system and applications to molecular nanotechnology.
Some questions to be considered are:
"Dangers of Supercomputing" (Eliezer Yudkowsky)
This Work Group will examine risks associated with sudden vast jumps in computing power. Dangers might include brute-forcing of Artificial Intelligence, or leakage of nanotechnological capabilities, but there may be other technological capabilities or possibilities resulting from increased computing power. As a Work Group product, we'll produce a list of potential dangers and some suggestions for controlling them.
BREAKOUT SESSIONS—THREE TYPES: Discussion, Work Group, SIG
Send in your topic ASAP, including preferred format.
Nanobusiness/Investing SIG (Brian Wang)
This group is focused on creating and facilitating the creation of long-term molecular nanotechnology investment funds. Also focused upon tracking, rating and communicating about investment opportunities, MNT-related businesses, and research that are leading or could lead to molecular nanotechnology.
NanoEducation SIG (Rosa Wang)
The initial focus of this SIG will be to develop curriculum materials related to molecular nanotechnology, including a policy case study and technical study guide materials to accompany the textbook Nanosystems. Later, this group will focus on increasing student and teacher awareness of MNT. It may create, communicate, and recommend an MNT curriculum, provide guidance and encourage students, provide assistance and support for educators who want to form school MNT study programs, and create a self-serve system online for volunteers in remote locations.
Nanomedicine SIG (Russell Whitaker)
This group will promote the use of molecular nanotechnology to improve medicine. Those with medical disabilities or conditions or those with relatives with such conditions are especially encouraged to join and help lobby, investigate issues and hasten the development of nanomedicine.
Robert Freitas, author of Nanomedicine Volumes I and II, will participate in this session.
Free-ranging discussions and Work Groups are specifically formed at the Foresight Vision Weekend, but the SIGs will be ongoing. If you are interested in learning more, contact email@example.com.
If you want to lead a session, please contact email@example.com Time is short, so rapid response would be appreciated.

Recently, the use of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires as an interphase in composite materials has been demonstrated to increase the interfacial shear strength between carbon fiber and an epoxy matrix. In this research work, the strong adhesion between ZnO and carbon fiber is investigated to elucidate the interactions at the interface that result in high interfacial strength. First, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to calculate the adhesive energy between bare carbon and ZnO. Since the carbon fiber surface has oxygen functional groups, these were modeled and MD simulations showed the preference of ketones to strongly interact with ZnO, however, …

One of Kenya's most recent marine parks, Mombasa Marine Park lies a few kilometres north of Mombasa Island, slightly north of the Nyali Headland, and comprises a 10 sq km national park surrounded by a 200 sq km national reserve.
Fact File
Altitude: Sea level.
Area: Mombasa Marine National Reserve; 200 sq km.
Mombasa Marine National Park; 10 sq km.
Location: Mombasa District, Coast Province; offshore of Mombasa town.
Distance from Nairobi: 485 km.
Gazetted: 1986.
Climate: hot and humid.
Vegetation: mangroves, sea grasses and seaweeds.
Fauna: myriad species of reef and deep-sea fish, corals and other forms of marine life.
Birds: numerous shore birds.
Activities: snorkelling, diving, windsurfing and swimming.
The Kenyan coast
Kenya's stunning coastline runs 700 km between the Tanzanian and Somali borders and is renowned for its silken white sandy beaches, coconut palms, sheltered lagoons, pellucid blue waters, remote islands, uncharted mangrove swamps and mysterious Arab and Swahili ruins, many of which date back to the 8th Century AD.
An idyllic climate cooled by the monsoon
Mombasa offers a daily average of 8 hours of sunshine, and the hot steamy climate is tempered by the monsoon winds: the south-easterly Kaskazi, which blows from April to October; and the north-easterly Kazi which blows from November to March.
Protector of one of the world's most famous coral reefs
Kenya's world famous marine parks were inaugurated to protect the most outstanding feature of the Kenyan coast: the pristine and well-developed coral reef that extends virtually without break from Shimoni in the south to Malindi in the north, some 230 kms in total. The reef is broken only in a few places by river mouths and creeks; and of these the deepest and most sheltered safe channels through the reef are those that lie on either side of Mombasa Island. It is these safe anchorages that gave the city its strategic role in the coast's turbulent history, and made it Kenya's second largest city and premier trading port serving not only Kenya but also Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern Congo.
Shelter for one million marine residents
Coral reefs provide one of the most fascinating ecosystems on earth, sheltering nearly one million different types of marine life. Forming only in warm seas, they are made by battalions of tiny polyps, miniscule sea anemone-like creatures that live together in colonies; some create a hard skeleton outside their bodies and it is this which eventually forms into stony coral. Coral comes in many shapes, sizes and colours including the open-branched stag's horn coral, the pincushion-like acropora coral, the wavy-branched and plate-like pavona coral, the massively solid favia coral and the convoluted brain coral.
Fishes galore
The reef attracts an incredible range of fish, most of which are almost iridescent in colour and fantastically marked. Look out for the celestial blue and jade-green parrotfish, striped zebra fish, multi-coloured angelfish and the soup plate-sized butterfly fish. Clouds of tiny damselfish also often hover above the branching coral, and under deep ledges you may catch a glimpse of the magnificent lionfish with its mane of sharp spikes (a sting from this fish can be very painful). Hunting sharks, rays, turtle and starfish also hunt the reef.
Turtle and dolphin territory
Kenya's reef and lagoons also prove popular with the endangered green, hawksbill, loggerhead, Ridley and leatherback sea turtles. Dolphins too are regular visitors to the area (spinner, humpback and bottle-nosed) and can be encountered singly or in schools, above and below the waves.
The beaches that border Mombasa Marine Park
North and south of Mombasa are some of the finest beaches in Africa; endless crescents of silver sand bordered by opulent coastal hotels; and with direct access to the coral gardens of the reef. Nyali Beach, Bamburi Beach, Shanzu Beach and Kenyatta Public Beach all enjoy immediate access to the Mombasa Marine Park.
Note: Shanzu Beach is very popular with sea turtles, which come here to lay their eggs.
Boat trips to the coral gardens
Mombasa Marine offers one of Kenya's finest snorkelling venues and all the coastal hotels offer trips, either in glass-bottomed boats or graceful dhows, to the coral gardens. Visitor tip: The best time to snorkel is two hours either side of low tide, when the greatest amount of marine life is revealed.
One of the world's top three dive venues
Not only is the Kenyan reef one of the most beautiful in the world, but it is also rated by experienced divers as one of the world's top three dive sites, alongside the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Red Sea Reef. It also offers year-round clarity and warmth, but also the possibility of spectacular night and wreck dives.

Oregon study on health and disability
More than 36 million Americans have a disability. Improving the health of this large segment of the population is a central concern for public health. This chartbook presents information about the health of adults with disabilities in Oregon. The information in this book can be used by people with disabilities, their family members, policy makers, health professionals, disability service providers, and others interested in the health and well-being of people with disabilities.
Data Source
The information in this book came from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The BRFSS is a telephone survey that asks about health, behaviors that affect health, and access to health care. The survey is random, meaning that any resident might be called. However, some groups of people are not included. Children under age 18 and people who are in an institution, such as a jail or nursing home, are not included in the survey. People who have no telephone or only have a cell phone are not included. Those who do not speak English or Spanish are not included. Some people who have a disability may not be included because they do not understand the questions, cannot get to the phone in time, or use a special telephone that sounds to the caller like a fax machine.
The BRFSS survey is done every year by each state or territory health department.
The information used for this book was collected in Oregon in 2008.
What do we mean by "disability"?
In the BRFSS survey, people are considered to have a disability if they answer "Yes" to one or both of the following questions:
- Are you limited in any way in any activities because of physical, mental, or emotional problems?
- Do you now have any health problem that requires you to use special equipment, such as a cane, a wheelchair, a special bed, or a special telephone?
Disability in Oregon
How many people in Oregon have a disability?
About 746,663 Oregon adults age 18 and older have a disability. This is a little more than one quarter (25.7%) of the adult population of Oregon in 2008.
What age groups are most impacted by disability?
Disability becomes more common as people age. In the 18-39 age range, 15.1% of Oregon adults have a disability. Among 40-59 year olds, 27.1% have a disability and among 60-79 year olds, 36.7% have a disability. Among Oregon adults age 80 or older, 47.1% have a disability.
How much education do people with disabilities have?
Over seven percent (7.6%) of people with disabilities have less than a high school education, 27.2% have a high school education only, 34.7% have attended some college or technical school, and 30.5% of people with disabilities are college graduates.
Of people without disabilities, 9.2% have less than a high school education, 27.0% have a high school education only, 27.8% have attended some college or technical school, and 36.0% are college graduates.
How many people with disabilities are employed?
Among people with disabilities, 31.8% are employed for wages, 7.9% are self-employed, 3.6% have been out of work for more than a year, 4.1% have been out of work for less than a year, 6.7% are homemakers, 4.2% are students, 26.9% are retired, and 14.9% are unable to work.
In contrast, 56.3% of people without disabilities are employed for wages, 10.2% are self-employed, 1.6% have been out of work for more than a year, 3.4% have been out of work for less than a year, 8.3% are homemakers, 4.7% are students, 15.0% are retired, and 0.5% are unable to work.
What is the annual household income of people with disabilities?
Twelve percent (12.2%) of people with disabilities have a household income of less than $15,000 per year, 21.8% have an income between $15,000 and $25,000, 15.7% have an income between $25,000 and $35,000, 15.7% have an income between $35,000 and $50,000, and 34.6% have an annual income of $50,000 or more.
Only four percent of people without disabilities have a household income of less than $15,000 per year, 15.0% have an income between $15,000 and $25,000, 13.0% have an income between $25,000 and $35,000, 16.5% have an income between $35,000 and $50,000, and over half (51.5%) have an annual income of $50,000 or more.
How satisfied are people with their lives?
About 31.6% of people with disabilities are very satisfied with their lives, 55.9% are satisfied, and 11.7% are dissatisfied or very dissatisfied.
Among people without disabilities, 51.8% are very satisfied, 46.8% are satisfied, and 1.8% are dissatisfied or very dissatisfied.
