Re: Can you OD on nutritional yeast?
I thought Dr. Schulze grows his own yeast? I don’t think he specifies which yeast he uses on his website. The non-fortified brewer’s yeast I found at a local health food store is not tasty at all, so I went back to Redstar which is super yummy! I just wish they have a non-fortified version.
I'm still juice-fasting, Day 47, sorta (had a few bite-size salads/fruits). After the 3rd LF (Day 27), things didn't seem to go very well.... LF seems to wear me out, with or without ES. I feel very weak, really nauseous, waving back and forth, starting to lose weight, poor sleep, undereye circles and puffy eyes. I'm becoming more irritable, holidays are my worst nightmares. There were times I wanted to quit fasting, but I know the healing has just begin, I shouldn’t stop now. I'm hoping it's a just a phase, it’ll pass, I need to stick to fasting until I’m completely healed. I know that my digestion and assimilation is still quite poor, with all the juice fasting and CEs I do, my skin and hair shouldn’t be dry at all. Esp. after LF, I’d get really dry, itchy scalp with lots of dandruff!?! Is that normal? I’ve been really gassy lately, explosive, high pressure GAS, esp., after CE or in the middle of sleep (while the liver is at work?) My husband asked if my anus has turned into a trumpet…… LOL! As for elimination, the undereye circles and the slightly yellow palms are definitely not a good sign. I take 8 IF#1 a day, 1-2 natural bms and 1-2 CEs clean me out pretty well. I tried the AC poultice on the liver overnite. It didn’t draw out anything and still smells quite fresh the next day. I dunno what’s that suppose to mean. I’m going to do the clay bath as soon as I get the clay.
I did my 4th LF over the memorial weekend - a big 3/4" golden stone came out. That was very encouraging! Although I’m still experiencing all the aforementioned symptoms and becoming increasingly sensitive, my right rib and the reciprocal left lower spine are constantly feeding and yanking each other. I can feel every inch of the muscles wrapping around the spine are trying to release! They’re struggling and being held and locked by my right upper body. I know I need to flush more often. Meanwhile, I’m hoping the milk thistle seed would come to the rescue and the BC&F tincture will help with the repair and nourish the damaged tissues.
I finally realized superfood is the one messing up my taste bud; although I didn’t take that much of it, only 4-6Tbsp daily. But, living solely on SF and carrot juice on those dreadful post LF days did throw me off balance. I need to slowly re-build my superfood tolerance and rotate my juice more often. I’ve been cutting down on carrots and taking a break from all the herbs (except IF#2) as well as superfood for the last couple of days, I have to say I feel much less nauseous (stop detoxing!?!). It's nice to take a break, reset, and re-start. Thinking back, my taste buds have really changed… When I 1st started IP, I didn’t like the yeast in SF, as I go deeper into IP, I wanted more and more of it until I’m totally hooked and OD’ed!

The Fourth Week and On
Continue to rotate the three juices each week as before. This program is life- sustaining as the patient is taking rapid-healing and wholesome food. If the patient desires more solid food, just add one solid meal each day.

What is Dr. Christopher’s take on rotating 3 juices each week? (Sorry if it’s on the CDs, I couldn’t read them on my primary PC, drive compatibility issue.) Anyways, I take minimum of ½ to 1 gallon of carrot juice daily. I used carrot juice as a base for all my veggie juice. Apple, parsley, garlic, ginger, lemon I consume on a daily basis. The others I rotate, like the neutral greens (lettece, celery, cucumber), the blue/purple (kale, beets, cabbage) and whites (cabbage, fennel, potatoes). I take watermelon once in a while (with lots of ginger or cayenne). Other mushy fruits like mango, papaya, peaches I either eat (one slice) and put the rest through the juicer and mix with water; everything at very low rpm. My dinner is usually a few cloves of garlic with some oil, lemon and black pepper (It’s kinda like Dr. Schulze’s mild LF w/o the water). I’ve been treating myself with a few very thin slices of raw potatoes lately.
I’m glad to know about Dr. Christopher’s alternate meal plan… But, given my conditions, I’m really not sure if I’m ready to do one solid meal each day?

Gerson did raw/vegan (with raw liver juice initially, then a liver supplement after he discovered how toxic beef livers really are), with a very occasionall slice of rye bread & cup of yogurt.

Not familiar with Gerson's therapy... Is rye bread and yogurt okay? I love those! But again, don’t know if I’m ready, esp. for bread and diary.
