John, Those sorts of foods also feed candidia & other fungal, yeast, etc. & will make you sicker. Sugar also very, very bad. I stay away from it as my ears ring really loud & my face will totally blow up, mostly around eyelid & cheek areas. Good to know you will try these natural steps as this is for a cure & not just to cover up symptoms. Feel free to reach out to me anytime. Smiles, Lori Banta
