I followed her advice for supporting mitochondrial health. I got my detox pathways up and running again, as per Dr.
As much as this illness has consumed me, it really was a true wake-up call. I gave up on allopathic medicine and knew it would be my responsibility to heal myself. That was fine, until the medical establishment failed me.repeatedly.
Before I became ill, I thought chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases could merely be 'managed.' In blind faith, I had accepted what the medical establishment tells us. I had been preparing to study biochemistry in grad school. Before my experience, I'd have been skeptical too. If the preceding paragraph sounds like hyperbole to you, I can't say I blame you.

(Mind-blowing, isn't it?) After several months of research and trial and error, I discovered the adrenal issues were a symptom of a much larger problem - severe leaky gut and gut dysbiosis. I kept getting weaker and more exhausted by the day. I'm not a dramatic person by nature, but I assure you, some days I wasn't sure how much sicker one could get before the body just gave up altogether. I experienced constant congestion and back-to-back sinus infections. Some days it was so bad it prevented me from knitting/crocheting, two of my favorite pasttimes. I started developing arthritis in my knees and fingers. I suffered severe chemical and mold sensitivities and began to develop hives. I'd literally feel poisoned, especially after eating. I had a Candida infection (resulting from allopathic drugs) that never went away. I researched and researched, pouring over everything I could read online. So I quit my job and school and took time off, expecting to recuperate within a few months. I eventually realized my adrenal glands were shot. Over a year and a half ago, I became sick.

I doubt it's a cure but it seemed to help Candace a lot with stomach problems and joint pain, which are two of my worst symptoms. Seems good, right? Lord knows we have problems down there, both from the disease and the antibiotics/etc we're taking. The basics of the diet's goal (from what I gather as a newb) is to heal the gut. I can't do anything crazy like actually going out to a yoga studio or something.) (Side note: when I say she's my 'yoga teacher' I mean I do her 15 minute gentle yoga for beginners videos on my good days. This diet seems to be the homeopathic remedy she recommends the most. I'm already receiving good treatment at Stanford in their CFS clinic, but haven't really got anywhere in the few years I've been there. Short story is she was really sick with Lyme and has mostly recovered using a combination of 1.
Has anyone tried the GAPS diet? I'm usually NOT a diet person (our bodies evolved to digest anything, foragers and scavengers, yadda yadda yadda.) but I stumbled on it while reading a blog by my yoga teacher ( ) who has Lyme disease.
