Success Story by Joel, April 2009
I was literally a dead man with a poisoned body, liver and brain until 2 years ago when I found Bee's website. The doctors were all convinced that I was psycho, and they prescribed me more and more stuff. In the meantime I tried a raw food diet that almost killed me. It's the diet, supplements and coffee enemas! To say you're an angel is an understatement! I credit my life directly to your efforts.

The gist of what I'm writing is that I was literally a dead man with a poisoned body, liver and brain. I left the community of normal human beings, and thought (with the bit of healthy tissue I had left) that I'm done for. With my last bit of energy and willpower I pulled myself up with the guidance of the files in your yahoo group and now almost 2 years later I'm writing the following:
Well, it's almost 2 years that I came across your site and signed up. At the time my weight was down to about 140 from an original healthy 165-170. It started with me taking antibiotics in the Spring of 2003. I guess I really hurt my liver and digestive system, because I remember while I was still taking my dosage (don't even remember what it was but it was for 10 days), I felt one time a sharp pain in my right lower abdomen. I didn't know which organ I just poisoned, but I remember thinking at the time that I just did something real bad to myself and I will still hear about it -- and you bet I did..and how!
It was probably 2 months later that someone first commented about the whiteness of my tongue. I was already feeling constipated more than I used to but I didn't connect the two, and I didn't know my system that well to decipher properly all the signals and indications. I felt things but couldn't verbalize it even to myself, being that we are so used to the digestive system functioning improperly.
(I should add that probably even before taking the antibiotics I was more susceptible to candida than the average person. I was a carb addict, smoked and have a sensitive constitution. I always felt a low blood sugar thing when I didn't get my carbs and then I'd stuff myself on them.)
By the summer I was already convinced that very bad things were happening inside my body. My urine felt different and I never felt empty after going to the bathroom, and my tongue was oh so white.
The doctors were all convinced that I was psycho, and prescribed me more and more stuff. I read about candida here and there, but it was such a new concept so I would get myself whole wheat bread instead of white and eat it and complain why I didn't feel better. I'd take some low grade probiotics, but my system was so badly damaged and I didn't have enough knowledge to go about curing myself. I became very bloated and my face started to go numb. I swelled to a very unhealthy weight.
I went to gastros, took colonoscopies. They found nothing, but I knew things were not good. I just couldn't go to the bathroom. At some point I discovered colonics -- and I don't want to tell you what I saw during my sessions. It cleansed me a bit, but my liver was still damaged. At some point during my learning process I did discover nystatin and garlic and did it for a while, but I guess not long enough and not comprehensively enough to feel I cured myself.
Anyway, for some reason, being really at the end of my wits I convinced myself (per some book) that a raw food diet with juicing is my cure. Naturally, it almost killed me. Being stuboorn I stuck with it for a long period, hoping it would work. According to that book raw foods would add enzymes and probiotics to my gut. Well, of course, it was the exact opposite of what my body really needed.
Somehow (through all the terrible fog and almost complete brain numbness) it came to me that I'm being killed with all the sugar - I was also stuffing myself with kombucha tea. Just at the point where it hit me that it was the sugar and that I need to go back to a meat diet, I came across Bee's Candida Support Group.
It gave me confirmation and also an organized plan to hold on to. I was literally almost dead. My brain was poisoned because my liver wasn't processing the toxins (I'm still now almost 2 years later getting very yellow urine out of my system every so often).
I wasn't talking properly, and my eye sight diminished. I pulled myself up with the little energy I had left and moved myself to some more secluded area (away from the city) and put myself through a rigorous program of recovery with all the supplements Bee recommended, including Bee's Egg Drink.
I probably gave myself coffee enemas every day, no kidding. I'd sleep for days from fatigue. I'd feel my liver trying to process it all. I blew all my savings in the process, naturally, but who thought about that. The healing process was oh so difficult!
I'd have to keep myself motivated and convince myself continuously that I'm making progress and that I'm doing the right things. I had so little brain left so it was real difficult! Going through the postings of the Group's Success Stories gave me hope and endurance. I'd read and re-read it and tell myself that there's hope for me too. It was really a day-by-day thing. I remember a couple of times driving my car during that period and having to pull over to fall asleep. I'm still almost blanked out of that period -- I remember so little. My organs were so poisoned.
Anyway, I'm almost 2 years from that point, and I'm still bloated and still feel my brain throwing off stuff, etc. Being a bit the reckless type and having to go back to work, I'm not following your diet so thoroughly these days, but at this point I know right from wrong and try to stay away from the bad stuff. I no longer eat the quantities of raw organic eggs and butter, but that is what healed my body when it was dying.
If, I at the point of, probably cancerous, starvation could come back to life, then others who are suffering and looking to be healed can surely hope to be [healed] by following Bee's diet. No doubt about it.
It's the diet, supplements and coffee enemas! To say you're an angel is an understatement! I credit my life directly to your efforts, and I consider myself a fairly productive member of society so it all goes to your credit:) Keep it up!

Hi Bee and group,
I was clearly helped by your diet. I mean helped like -- going from being almost dead to being my normal forgotten self again. New regions of my brain which have long been forgotten that they once existed are slowly making themselves known again.
It's a long story, so I'm asking where I can post it to inspire others. It's just about 2 years that I discovered this group - after doing everything wrong for some 2 and a half years - like, raw food diets, kombucha, kefir, etc.
Your coherent, well-researched and well-organized plan got me back to life and gave my a glimmer of hope when I could see (literally) none, and I'm only a young guy of 29. Sorry for not checking in with the group regularly and posting success updates, but now I feel I can share.
Thanks BEE and group members. There's clearly hope for everyone.
Joel
