I decided to quit my candida cleanse. Because, I don’t feel like the timing is right and it required too much will power. When I first started the cleanse my stomach was upset a lot. I don’t think this is because of any cleansing but because I had to eat a lot of nuts to get the calories that I needed. Then, when I tried to eat less nuts I was extremely hungry, and this took a lot of will power. I probably wasn’t getting more than 800 calories in a day. I did not want to do this for 3 months, or for even another week. I found myself praying a lot for relief. And the answer I feel like Heavenly Father gave to me was that I needed to relax and be who I was. And with time my sinuses would heal, and that I did not need to eat a perfect diet for that to happen.
Also, after this experience I decided that I am not going to force myself to eat 100% raw. For the past few years I have felt like I was missing an important element of myself that I had when I was younger.
