I've never really heard of Biofase but if I need to later I might look into it. I don't believe I have a Candida problem.

On Friday last week I did a high dose of Borax. About 60 mg for the day. Didn't really notice anything on the day, but the following day after lunch I suffered bad headaches for the rest of the day and was sensitive to light as a result. Haven't had that in a long long time. So I went back to a light dose (6mg per day) Borax over the weekend.

Yesterday I did a carb load day experiment. 200 grams Potatoes with lunch, a green banana smoothie in the afternoon and a big Apple, and another 200 grams of Potatoes with dinner (200 grams is quite a big serve on my plate), and my usual 4 tablespoons of Potato Starch. Its not affecting me. I've managed to stay off Dyclofenac for over a 9 or 10 days as well so nothing is getting masked. I'm not as pain free as I would be if I were to take Dyclofenac.....but its also not affecting anything I do physically. Most of my problems come from sitting for long periods (pain) and I can fix it by getting up and moving. I seem to not be affected by Rice, green bananas or potatoes. I wonder if this is due to Potato Starch since I have only tried these things since taking PS.

My moods have changed. A calmness had descended upon me over everything I do. No anxiety over anything.

I'm eating starchy carbs every night of the week and sometimes for lunch too! Who would have thought. I have less fear about which foods might be affecting me (normally eat 25 - 40 grams of dark chocolate per night which I used to have a question mark over) with the exception that I won't eat processed foods/drink, and I won't touch fruit juices either. I'm continue to eat mostly meats, eggs, fats, veges (broccoli, cauliflower mostly), no dairy and now add in a bit of starchy carbs. Am less concerned about how dark chocolate might affect me (usually eat 25 grams at night) after dinner.

All considered....so far I'm miles away from where I was just 5 weeks ago before I started on PS. I've had some weird dreams too (like last night). I wake up and start doing things (like last night I checked my alarm clock), and then realise I'm not awake....I'm still asleep. Its difficult to know if I'm awake or asleep at this point. My body is asleep but my mind is fully conscious. Other times I wake up from dreams, only to wake up again from another dream. A multi layered dream state if you will.

I can't wait to see what is going to happen when I get hold of some soil based probiotics. So far the only probiotics I've taken is a local natural fermented Sauerkraut.

Anyhow, the benefits are far outweighing any negatives.

I also found this link yesterday which explains things in more plan English and has some good info on volumes of RS in foods.
