Parkinsons and Candida

Below is a response to the show I aired last month with Lydia Epps on March 23, 2011 about Candida and Parkinson’s.

I know nothing about candida, but I got a couple of takeaways (from listening to your radio show with Lydia Epp).  One is that anyone with PD symptoms (or without them) should stop eating large or significant amounts of refined sugars and carbohydrates NOW.  It does not matter whether there is a causal relationship there or not, nor does it matter which was first, “the chicken or the egg”.  PD’ers should adopt an organic, holistic, clean eating diet and lifestyle.  This is mainstream nutritional and medical advice.  Even if you are at a normal weight and in perfect health, with no dietary intolerances, you should care for that gift by eating clean and demanding the avoidance of chemical pesticides, preservatives, sweeteners, and the like.  The damage they do does not become evident until later in life, when it is more difficult to reverse.

I think you said it best yourself, Robert, (paraphrasing):  If you are looking for someone else to “fix” your health, you will get worse.  If you take charge of your own health, you will get better.
