I started a yeast free, dairy free, sugar free diet o 26th October and I have to say it is quite hard. I thought it was going to be easy asI was a vegetarian but it isn’t. The hardest part is going yeast free. I have tried soda brade and gluten free bread and they are not good. In the end I went back to bread and limited myself to 1 -2 slices a day sometimes less than that.
The sugar free has suprised me as I love chocolate and I haven’t wanted it at all. I have also stayed away from alchohol.
I have started taking another supplement, B17 ( known also as amygdalin or laetrile). It is a vitimin that occurs nauturally in a lot of plants/vegetation all over the world. I take 1 100mg capsule a day.
B17 was reccommended to me by an ambulance attendant a while ago now and I have just got some and will see what happens. I also have 2-3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed in my juice every morning. This also contains B17. It is like drinking a glass ofjuice with bread crumbs in it but it is bearable and I have felt healthier since takin it. I have been taking the flaxseed for months. It is a good form of omega 3 and fibre.
I buy mine in Tesco’s and it is expensive as is the B17 but if it works I don’t mind.
You can find out more about these supplements on the links below.

I hope this is helpful and if anyone has any other helpful hints please let me know and I will post it on here. I do think that taking the supplements has made a big difference to my immune system. When I am at work I am surrounded by people with colds and coughs and I know I have had my flu jab and that helps a lot but feeling in good health when having a sore throat has been wonderful. I don’t have that run down exhausted feeling like I did before with colds. I am hoping that it is to do with the supplements and boosting my immune system. Immunology is the way to go for well being I am sure. Saying that, my hair is a mess..I have had alopecia for 4 years and have lost my eyebrows early this year since taking immune tablets, its a small price to pay and the wigs I wear take the worry away.
