Karen Tripp: Candida Recovery
www.geocities.com/HotSprings/4966/index.html
Thanks out to Karen, whose site was one of the first, if not the first, I stumbled upon when realizing I had yeast and not just bad skin and allergies. She has her full story, her advice, and tons of recipes. Her recovery was very swift compared to most, so please recognize that she may already have been in very good health (ie, she�s young and a dancer) before starting her regime. Also, she did not have any major skin problem; so, I would start strict at first, then move on to her recipes, etc, as your condition permits � same advice goes with the rest of these sites, below.
Oprah's Boot Camp Diet
www.oprah.com/presents/2005/bootcamp/eat/eat_rules.jhtml
This is the diet Oprah used to lose so much weight, and it's very similar to an antifungal diet -- just minus the 2 pieces of fruit she allows per day and substitute nuts and oils like almonds, olive oil, and avocado instead. She actually bans ALL grains, flours, pasta, potatoes for 4 weeks, so if you're doing Oprah's diet and you have skin or allergy issues, you might as well do this diet at the same time.
Shirley�s Wellness Caf�
www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com
Good sections on candida, eczema and a �healing crisis� and why we often get worse before we get better; the stages and how to tell the difference . I also like her explanation, citing other health professionals as references, as to how and why healing tends to be from the "top-down" -- with systemic (all-over the body) eczema, for example, your face, arms, and upper torso should start showing improvement first, then your legs and feet. That's the way it went for me.

Interesting take on the effect of the acidity of different foods and their effect on candida overgrowth. Also tables showing different foods to eat at five different stages of recovery.
Slow Oxidizer Eating Plan
www.drlwilson.com/Articles/slow%20diet.htm
This article fascinates me because it�s a low carb diet but has nothing to do with candida, just a doctor-recommended all-purpose healing diet for optimal digestion. Note the emphasis on meat and vegetables.
