I think I have an addiction to sugar, I don't know how else to describe it. I can't say it is sugar cravings, because I don't always want it or want it and have to have it. Sometimes when I'm out and there are sweets around, if I have 1 I'll continue to eat then until I feel stuffed or almost sick. Other times I'm fine and I can leave them alone. I eat well. I'm a Holistic Nutritionist and I know I how bad sugar is for me. I am hypoglycemic, although I have been good for quit awhile, now symptoms even when I have these bouts of eating sweets, except feeling sick and then rather tired the next day. I also get a very sore throat when I eat wheat or sugar. I have been taking Collodial Silver and my throat is not as bad. I've done candida cleanses in the past and my diet is just vegetables and some meat. I take Digestive Enzymes, Acidophilus and Bifidus.

Is there something I can take so I can resist the sweets?

Dear Cary
Candida yeast Is a big factor in these sugar cravings.
When the body is being invaded by candida (via antibiotic use most likely) The cravings not only apply to sugar but breads,pastries,carbs,dairy,cheese,ice cream. These All need to be stoped as they "Feed' the candida yeaST. People that eat alot of these things i just listed HAVE CANDIDA in their system.Once Candida has been elliminated 100% you will nOT HAVE THESE CRAVINGS.

READ A BOOK CALLED "SUGAR BLUE'S" AFTER READING IT YOU WILL NEVER EAT SUGAR AGAIN.

No one can give you "Will power" that is up to you. If you understand the damage sugar does to the body its simple to see the outcome.
Sugar is an aquired taste; once you totally stop eating sugar,you will have a badtaste for sugar when it enters your mouth.
How long was the candida detox? I can post some links on this if you like.................................

Dear "Lordcary",

yes, you can take something so you will resist the sweets... the homeopathic remedy indicated according to the totality of (characteristic) symptoms. This will balance your Vital Force and metabolism and also regulize/normalize your cravings (and aversions).

I think to focus on Candida would not treat the cause of the disease (since when is the germ the cause of any disease ?? you need to be susceptible towards it, which depends upon the proximate and fundamental cause, i.e. your constitution, temperament, predisposition and inherited/aquired miasms etc.) thus you have to go deeper. The homeopathic remedy will strengthen the Vital Force and your immune system will be able to handle Candida too.
I know a lot of patients who tried all those crazy diets (without any success) and feel bad when they only eat a piece of sugar, but once they got their homeopathic remedy it was much easier to overcome this problem as you will have support at the bottom of the cause, the disturbed vital Force.
Even because you are hypoglycaemic it is a vicious circle, there are times when the blood sugar drops down and you will hardly be able to resist to eat sugar or sweets (you will get irritable, angry, hyperactive like Arg-n for example ?? possibly). It let me think a bit of Arg-n and Lyc (especially Lyc who often eats enzymes for digestion, both crave sugar and are aggravated by them). But a complete homeopathic anamnesis is necessary with subsequent evaluation of symptoms (esp. mentals, physical generals, § 153 symptoms etc.) to ensure a rapid, gentle and permanent cure.

Best regards,
Katja

I agree Katja,The well indicated homeopathic remedy that fits all aspects of this persons symptomology will do wonders. The maintaining causefactor (stop dairy,sugars,carbs,breads) does need to be addressed and cAnnot be overlooked.The faulty dietary intake feeds this candida.

Dear Gina,

I agree that the faulty diet feeds candida but in most cases it is not the cause of the disease as it is caused by many different factors (including emotions !!).
Candida is mainly a disease of sycotic origin thus it is unlikely to vanish by mere change in regimen (diet) as Hahnemann propagated for diseases which are due to faulty living habits. Diseases, which are caused by chronic miasms require chronic miasmatic treatment, thus I think to focus only or mainly on diet and supplements is superficial and will not cure permanently in most cases.
I agree that diet may be of support, but once the homeopathic simillimum is applied and the cause of the disease is treated, the patient will be able to introduce more food in their diet.
Of course each case needs to be looked at individually and only a detailed homeopathic anamnesis will reveal all possible causes (which need to be addressed) and the necessary homeopathic remedy and auxiliary treatment.

Dear Gina
I am Holistic Nutritionist and I eat well - lots of vegetables and some protein. I've done candida cleanses periodicly, I was very strict for 1 whole year a couple of years ago. I don't eat any of the things below, except occasionally when out, if I have a sweet I can't stop with one, I'll eat 6 or 8, it's like I can't stop until I feel sick. I've been doing Colloidal silver and am now doing Argentum Nitricum 30ch which is silver nitrate, I've only done it 2 nights so don't know what the out come will be although I have woke up earlier the last 2 mornings and am more organized first thing, usually I'm very anxious in the morning about all that I have to do and what to do first. I will do the homeopathic questionaire when I have some time, my mother is going into hospital this week for heart surgery.

Taking Arg Nit does nothing if the casetaking does not indicate. Taking Arg Nit just because its "silver" is NOT homeopathic analysis. Homeopathy is energy medicine the casetaking and symptom analysis is not done the same as taking herbs/coll silv. and or supplm.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I fully agree:If the proper casetaking has not been done you will not find the simillimum cary.

Katja posted:"Diseases, which are caused by chronic miasms require chronic miasmatic treatment"........................................ .....------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes again agreed- You need to have your casetaking done in full with a classical homeopath who fully understands MIasmatic prescribing.

Why dont you start by seeing this link: National Center for Homeopathy
see "what is homeopathy"+ "how does it work"..........
Not only does the Well indicated remedy need to fit but the proper potency,the proper dispensing,the proper miasmatic predisposition needs to fit,and the proper dosing. more on homeopathy at

I know homeopathy is not the same as taking herbs/coll silv. and or supplm. I have read about it and taken a couple of worshops on homeopathy. I've taken a few different remedies over the years recommended by my naturopath. Last year I had a complete work up done by a Naturopathic Doctor because I had anxiety very bad & some depression, she recommended Metallum Album. I was function and getting things done, but the anxiety was awful. She switched me to Bryonia and I quit working at my business and found a part-time job because money was an issue. I'm more relaxed now.
