I appreciate the work you have done concerning candida and other illnesses. I wonder if you have any knowledge about food combining, aka Natural Hygiene or Fit for Life.

The reason I ask.....I've done low-carbing and food combining both in my quest for health, and I have absolutely identical results with weight loss and candida treatment.

I also have lupus, and all symptoms totally disappear when I'm low carbing or food combining. For example, I've been doing food combining for months now, and I'm spending hours in the sun everyday with none of my usual suffering. No raccoon rash on my face, no fatigue, no joint or muscle pain.

Now, when I do food combining I am very selective about my carbs....only raw, fresh fruit, buckwheat, brown rice, garbanzo bean flour, some legumes, and the occasional sweet potato. No other carbs at all.

I do not have celiac disease but I do not lose weight when I have gluten.

So, my question for you is...if my results with food combining are as good as my results low carbing, is there any reason not to continue? I prefer food combining by far. I have an idea that the antibiotics and hormones in the chicken and beef, aggravate my lupus and my candida. When I'm food combining I only eat meat once a day, and organic eggs once a day.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
