This is the first brand I used in my SOZO detox. This is a 1.5 lb bag. They also have in 9oz container.
I first learned of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) a few years ago during a Detox that included a parasite cleanse. DE comes in multiple colors and grades. It can be white or brownish-gray. It is seperated by grades: food, feed and pool grade. When used it can produce die-off from killing off things like Candida or Parasites if those culprits affect you or your pets, I would think this side effect can also be evident in use with pets. there are ways to work around the die-off to ease symptoms. USE CAUTION TO PREVENT DUST INHALATION!
This article really digs down deep into how DE goes above more than just parasite cleansing. It helps with ridding of bedbugs, ants and other crawling insects, heavy metal toxicity (which is another thing I have been doing) all the way to Lupus…
100% diatomaceous earth kills insects by ingestion and/or dehydration within 48 hours. Works indoors and outdoors when kept dry. Treat for Earwigs, Millipedes, Centipedes, Silverfish, Cockroaches, Crickets, ants, fleas, carpet beetles, bed bugs, grasshoppers- Tractor Supply Product Description for safer-brand-diatomaceous-earth
This is step 2 to the Candida Flush. After you resolve the Candida-Yeast, I think I started practicing this somewhere about 2 weeks after my dietary changes. The reason this is step 2 and you just don’t skip ahead is simple. If you are having sugar cravings it is impossible to fast. This also is recommended to allow your blood sugar levels to be under control.
When you eat matters for metabolism, sleep, preventing disease for health. Eating late disturbs sleep, cause your body is digesting it may keep you from falling into your deep sleep cycles. I’ve always been told, its best for your body not to eat past 6, to get the best sleep. The best way I can explain this is to say that while your body is digesting food, that’s it’s very focus. When you are fasting or doing liquid nutrition for periods of time your metabolism gets boosted and your body has more energy to apply toward healing. Here is also incentive to eat healthy during fasting. If you are eating processed foods it takes more than the unnatural times for your body to process/digest the food. This not totally related but is so interesting I had to share below at the You Really Got to Read This!!!
Intermittent Fasting:
Some of the info I got was from Dr. David Jockers…
Benefits of Fasting:
You will see tremendous results physically, mentally, emotionally. Your body is smart enough to know how much fat it needs to survive.
In cancer patients – usually told to eat as much as possible and given calorie boosting foods. Doing this feeds the cancer and causes metabolic inflexibility.
Super Hydration During Fasting Period:
Add more and more water daily to get to a gallon of water.
8-12 ounces of water per hour while fasting shorter fasts.
Balance salt intake with water intake.
Use pink salt ¼ tsp per gallon.
Lot of liquid nutrition such as bone broth and protein shakes for these individuals takes stress off of the digestive system without fasting.
5 Types of Fasting:
Simple fast – 12 hours between last meal and first meal o e.g. 8PM to 8AM – gives you 4 hours to do the major part of digestion, and then 8 hours for the liver to do a full cycle of the blood stream.
Cycle fast – 16 hours between last meal and first meal 3x per week o E.g. 8PM to 12PM – 3x/week o Move towards a 2-1 cleansing ratio. You will see better and better results.
Strong Fast – 16-18 daily hours daily
Warrior Fast – 19-21 hours daily o Start with a simple fast. Do not jump into this level.
1-Day Fast – Full 24 hour fast each week
Another Resource for Fasting was Dr. Mercola
This will improve the regeneration, recovery, and repair of mitochondria, which are important for signaling pathways that dictate how healthy you are. How do we obtain dietetic ketosis?
§ Peak fasting – intermittent fasting
§ No food for 3 hours before bedtime
§ Not eating for 13-18 hours of your awake hours.
§ Eat only for 6-11 hours of your awake hours.
My Fasting Preferences
I chose the SIMPLE FAST Method or would do liquid nutrition (bone broth) in the mornings or before bedtime to decrease digestion and amp up my sleep cycle.
Here is a great example for processed foods to avoid. For example eating Ramen Noodles (which I used to eat daily)… Did you know Ramen noodles contain Tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), which is a byproduct of the petroleum industry and food additive frequently to preserve cheap processed foods. It is one of those chemicals that is neither digestible or beneficial in any way for your body. A gastrointestinal specialist conducted an experiment with a time lapse video inside the stomach, comparing both fresh and preserved ramen noodles. After two hours of digestion, the results were staggering. Dr. Kuo recorded 32 hours from the pill camera. “What we’re seeing here is a stomach contracting back and forth as it’s trying to grind up the ramen noodles,” Dr. Kuo says of the beginning of the video. –Read the full Article Here

Since my first detox (also known as a Candida Cleanse), I’m constantly learning new things about Candida. Each step unlocks another door to more information. Fighting yeast has been one of the most beneficial things from my detox. I contribute a lot of my weight loss to it, pounds around the belly that wouldn’t go away melted when I began treating yeast. It’s justly, called the Yeast Beast because it can be difficult to control and can result in behavior side effects. It affect weight loss and I can’t remember my source right now, but it can contribute to extra pounds in the spare tire, if you know what I mean (the flora in the gut can weigh up to 6 pounds, I’m assuming that in typical circumstance – from a speaker of a NSP Seminar). There is not just one way perfect way to fight Candida, there are many things that work. Candida is a big issue, I have been learning about in the world of Autism and it’s amazing that it affects behavior so extremely. Below, you will learn more about how heavy metal toxicity can make candida worse, I’ll cover all these things, what I use to combat it and more in this post.
Candida is the imbalance of opportunistic bad bacteria (a fungi) in the gut caused by to much Candida yeast. It affects adults and children just the same.
Eating foods containing Sugar, White Flour or Yeast (most of your processed foods)
Consumption of Alcohol
How to detect it
The fastest way to detect is if you have a white coating on your tongue.
The following symptoms below
not necessary to test for it
Symptoms – What it does to you
It can affect your glucose levels and contribute to diabetes. It causes a vicious cycle to your blood sugar levels to fluctuate, triggering hormones that generate a never-ending constant craving for sweet, carbohydrate-rich foods. It would seem this craving can never be fulfilled even when you binge out. I plan to explore this further and update more info.
Slows down your metabolism, Constantly Tired
Lack of Sexual Drive
Disrupts normal detoxification processes
It can interfere with your appetite.
Brain Fog
Heart
Chronoic UTI’s or Infections
Leaky Gut
IBS Irritable bowel Syndrome
Gas/Bloating
Joint Pain
poor skin
Chronic Yeast Infections
Severe Allergies or Itcy Ears
Runny Nose
Improper nutrient absorption
Indigestion
Weak Immune Function
Heavy Metal Toxicity interferes with the ability to keep Candida under control. This was a real problem for me and even Rye for a while. Chelation under the protocol we are using with Heavy Metals can temporarily increase yeast, but below I will cover helpful supplements to manage it. This means that if you or a loved one has Autism, they are very susceptible to yeast and their symptoms may be flaring without a connection being made.
How to Combat it
Candida yeast feeds off sugar overrun in your gut. It acts like a parasite to its host. It gives off toxins, it creates cravings to control its host. The symptoms of the toxins it releases can alter your behavior. You can have extra weight in your gut when Candida gets overrun. Change the way you are eating a few weeks to several months (you’ll see cravings leave). Now you can change your diet back to your old way of eating and the candida can come back, keep it in check. The best ways to defeat Candida are Diet, Sweetener Alternatives, Anti-Fungal and Immune Supporting Supplements, Diatomaceous Earth and Essential Oils, lets look at these now:
By Diet: Avoid Fruit while you are getting the Candida under control. Go with a Low Sugar Candida-Diet. Stuff like Veggies (avoid starchy veggies like corn, potatoes, yams, beats and peas), eating Garlic, High Quality Protiens (organic-grassfeds), gluten free grains (Rice/Millet). Cook with coconut oils (350 degrees or below). Bone Broth.
My friend, Casey found and shared this blog that was very interesting and provided lots of info for a Candida detox. I highly recommend this read, it puts the whole process into perspective to help you attain your goal to attack your Candida!!!!
Changing Sweeteners: Substitute Sugar with NuStevia (make sure you click to read why you don’t want to use Stevia from the store.) The main things are benefits are greater and negative stevia side effects are less likely. This type of stevia is about 30–40 times sweeter than sugar. There are also no fillers, leaving you bloated.
Probiotics are recommended to take at night or on an empty stomach for best absorption. When you are taking anti-fungal supplements above, take 2-4 hours apart from probiotics.
Essential Oils: Remember EOs are by far more potent than herbals and can be used topically more often till symptoms subside without risk of over consumption. The best oils for Candida I have read about are: Oregano, Myrrh, Lavender, Cinnamon and Turmeric Oils. You could do oil pulls with these oils (diluted in coconut oil)
Die-Off
Don’t be scared of Die-Off it’s already occurring on a small basis, it’s temporary and treatable. Pau D’arco, Vitamin-C, Garlic and Milk Thistle Basically, it’s the Candida releasing toxins as one last attempt to take over, similar to parasites. This can be prevented by taking a little benonite clay, ground flax seeds* or chia seeds, cause they will help absorb the toxins and pull them out. Activated charcoal* can assist pulling toxins out too. Grapeseed extract, pau d’arco and Candida ease are some other great ways to fight the yeast/Candida. A liquid diet can help, it takes the stress off your body for digestion and allows your body to put energy toward healing. My die off experience: When I got the a rash it was on my arms, chest and mid section and the top of my legs. It lasted a day – a day and half. I was already doing the chia and flax seed at the time. It was recommended to pause the use of the VIVI and ONLY in response to the die off take extra Liposomal C-LRA (keep in fridge-2tsp/d) which you learn about next. Here is a great video by Dr. Axe and Jordan Rubin about ridding the Candida. Here is another resource from Robert Scott Bell, Remove inflammation and regenerate tissue from the effects of Antibiotics… Take along with Aloe to get it to your gut for repair. This who mentioned it in his presentation with the Truth About Cancer, The Ultimate Symposium. Here is his direct protocol. https://www.natural-immunogenics.com/…/2-oz-59-ml-dropper.h…
“On important thing to remember is that probiotics are bacteria too, just good bacteria. Some of the natural antifungals are not selective enough to only kill bad bacteria so you should make sure probiotics are doses at least 4 hours away from antifungals. – See more at: http://www.fightautismandwin.com
Ground Flax seed and Activated Charcoal can cause absorption of Rx medications, take hours apart.
Until now, I had been using a Bone Broth Powder, I’ve been very satisfied with it but it gets expensive.
Inspired by the video below, I made my first bone broth. I’m so excited to share it was pretty much as easy as it looked.
Prep Bone Broth in 1 Min – Crock Pot It!
So I want to share my variation of this recipe.
I got a 6 pack of organic chicken legs from Walmart.
Onion, celery, carrots (of Course I forgot carrots)
Apple Cider Vinegar
I added Garlic, Turmeric and Cayenne Pepper, Peppercorn Seasoning and Himalayian Salt.
Filtered water, fill to about 2 inches below lid
Bring contents to a boil, then simmer for recommended hours on the low setting of the crockpot.
It was delicious with Crackers, even my husband decided he could do that for lunch, suggesting noodles would be a nice add! Sounds like a good excuse for me to get him a hot Logic mini, for lunches to avoid the microwave.
I was consumed with a sweet tooth and cravings ruled my life. If you want to break up with sugar, this product may be for you. Now if you are a sugar-holic like I was you won’t like this at first. It’s an acquired taste, but I went off sugars and this is now my preferred sweetness!
I use a non-GMO brand called NuStevia Pure White Stevia Extract is extremely concentrated – 1/32 of a teaspoon will taste as sweet as 2 teaspoons of sugar. 3/4 of a teaspoon will be as sweet as 1 cup of sugar. I tend to find it cheapest on Amazon… see How to Buy and Save below.
I want to help explain the differences in Stevia (online resources for these facts are listed below) to help you better understand which product is better for you. NuNaturals has 2 types of Stevia that I am focusing on in this post. Their products are NON-GMO, gluten-free and vegan. You should be aware of the three main categories of stevia, including green leaf stevia(1), stevia extracts (2) and altered stevia (3) (like Truvia). So let me show you how NuNaturals has products that I prefer from categories 1 and 2. What I use is the Pure Extract (cooking and home use) and the Rebaudioside Extract packets for on the go.
1)With whole-leaf and crude extracts, benefits are greater and negative stevia side effects are less likely. This type of stevia is about 30–40 times sweeter than sugar.*In NuNaturals product line you must be sure it says PURE Extract. This doesn’t contain any fillers like Maltodextrin. See How to buy Links below!
2)Some brands that make stevia extract by extracting the sweeter and less bitter part of the stevia leaf (rebaudioside), which doesn’t have the health benefits found in stevioside. This type of stevia may be a better option than other regular sweeteners, but there aren’t many studies available yet showing its effects.*The individual packets of this product has Maltodextrin as a filler. NuNaturals website mentions this: White Stevia Powder contains the flowing agent maltodextrin, a food grade carbohydrate derived from grain, making it easier to measure. Tasteless, maltodextrin is the perfect medium to use with our NuStevia extract. It is my understanding that Reb99 is the extraction of rebaudiosides from the whole-leaf extraction, basically an extraction from the extraction. This is the information they offer on Maltodextrin tab for a better understanding: Maltodextrin is a simple carbohydrate. Maltodextrin is not a sugar, it is 99.96% carbohydrate and .04% sugar. The amount of maltodextrin in one serving of NuStevia White Stevia Powder is nutritionally insignificant, and should not effect blood sugar levels in most individuals. The source of maltodextrin used in NuStevia White Stevia Powder is from Identity Preserved (IP-Certified) Non-GMO corn. So why does NuNaturals need a flowing agent in the NuStevia White Stevia Powder? The Stevia extract NuNaturals uses is so extremely concentrated that 1/64 tsp. is equal to 1 serving. We add maltodextrin to help the Stevia flow smoothly out of the packet and also to make measuring easier. See How to buy Links below! 200x sweeter than sugar.
3)The worst option is altered and overly processed “stevia” like Truvia. It’s really not stevia at all by time a product like Truvia goes through a 42-step process to make this processed sweetener. Truvia only contain less than 1 percent stevia. WOW, just 1%! Although I don’t recommend these are available at most any local shopmart.
How to Buy and Save
1) Green Leaf Stevia: The Nutstevia site sells this in a convenient shaker or a 1 pound tub. Their price is $13.99 for the shaker and the 1 pound tub is $148.79. However, the iherb price $9.79 is best better, Amazon prices I found at the time this article was written: 1 oz $10.99 or 1lb $122.05! (Prices were based on time of writing article and are subject to change at anytime without notice.) I prefer this product, most affordable as sold by the shaker!!!
2) Stevia Extracts (Rebaudioside Extraction): Remember this is a little more expensive because it’s much more concentrated sweet. At NuNaturals you can get 50 packets for $5.99 or 12oz tub containers for $23.99. However, the Amazon price is usually better, these are the prices I found at the time this article was written: 1oz Shaker of Reb99 $17.99, 100 easy carry packets $13.59, 12oz Container $17.58. I tend to feel a little more bloated when using this product, perhaps it’s because it has a filler.
3) Altered Stevia: Available at any local shop-mart, I don’t recommend buying this product.
*I called the NuNaturals company and had a rep explain the what is in their products. I have reported what I understood of her explanation – 7/20/17. Full Disclaimers.
Have you ever heard of tapping? That’s what she ask. She said it was very effective.
This is what Denise (Sozo Life and Wellness) shared with me during my Gall Bladder Cleanse. This is important to do this before a Gall Bladder and Liver Cleanse for emotional cleansing. Sound nuts, maybe… but our organs like the Gallbladder and Liver are affected by Anger, Biterness and Unforgiveness and those can often be found the root of problems in our health. Dont’ hold on to it, release your freedom to heal with…
Emotional Freedom Tecnique (EFT)
She suggested googling Mercola and EFT. This is a library for Emotional Freedom http://eft.mercola.com/. Examples of tapping in areas of insomnia, stopping a habit, health, healing, emotional struggles, forgiveness, anger, pain, stress, depression, anxiety/fear. I didn’t just do it once… I did it mutiple times.
Tap it Away, Tap till it’s gone!
If you have things stressing you, try this in the area of your life that applies. Baggage, Bitterness, Unforgiveness, Loss…
I did this and found much emotional release in multiple areas of my life . I was hanging on to years of emotional baggage. It was recommended to me to do this before my liver and gall bladder cleanse so that it would be more effective… because our emotions directly affect our liver health.
Works great for Kids too! Teach them Tap Away anxiety!
I used this with my oldest son. We work on areas of Fear and Anxiety.
So over a month ago, I decided to cut out the sugary drinks and replaced them with my new fav SEASONAL Thrive Lemonade mix. Since going on Thrive and making gradual sacrifices to create new habits I had started losing weight. When I say gradual, I mean if I feel hungry I munch on a few Thrive yogurt bites to satisfy my sweet cravings. I also snack on a few ThriveLife peaches, apple slices or blueberries. These are things I normally wouldn’t have eaten.
The Lemonade mix does have some sugar, but is a sweeten to taste product. Instead of adding sugar I chose to sweeten with Non-Bitter NuStevia . This is based solely on my personal experience I have not dieted, done additional exercise so your results may not be the same as mine!
This post began shortly before summer vacation and our Beach Camping trip left me with some setbacks. We chose to eat out more than usual to really give me a break from cooking/cleanup. It was great except, I don’t really trust the water supply in restaurants and tend to do sodas. So I put back a few extra pounds.
But today, Sept 22, 2016 I’m happy to report my record low at 148.8. I was 152 breastfeeding my oldest when I discovered I was pregnant with my lil guy, so this is the smallest I have been in just over 7 years! Horray!
A diet change of any time can be overwhelming at first! When we first discovered that Rye was having Thyroid Issue we wanted to try and restore his Thyroid naturally! Our choice to go Gluten Free wasn’t life threatening, so we had time to gradually transition. If you have an intolerance or life threatening allergy this will not work for you, but has some resources that help for kiddos. Some research I blogged about why we did it. Based on some reading I did, going Gluten, Soy and Casein Free (Milk- we still do some dairy – as cheese) seemed to be a road less traveled but had found some improvement and I call that success!
It was tough at first to find foods that Rye would eat that were Gluten Free. They seemed to be a different consistency. But I found some resources that got me started looking for specific brands. Recently it seems, you can find so many more things that are NON-GMO and Gluten Free at the local grocery! Today, I am even looking into Ancient Grains.
Here are some of the things I mentioned that we used with Rye you can find deals on some of these items here.

I was consumed with a sweet tooth and cravings ruled my life. If you want to break up with sugar, this product may be for you. 
Now if you are a sugar-holic like I was you won’t like this at first. It’s an acquired taste, but I went off sugars and this is now my preferred sweetness!
1) With whole-leaf and crude extracts, benefits are greater and negative stevia side effects are less likely. This type of stevia is about 30–40 times sweeter than sugar. *
