Regarding the Maker's Diet. I did an 80% raw food diet with 20% cooked foods, all vegan for about 5 years. Then I heard how bad carbohydrates are etc, etc, and switched to a higher protein, meat, cheese and egg diet for a few days and my stomach did sumersaults.
From what I understand about the Maker's Diet, which I recently read, it is not a cleansing diet, rather, it is a diet particularly aimed at getting people with gut problems such as candida, yeast, Chron's Disease, IBS back to health. If you have these sorts of problems it is best to almost cut out grains to start with, as the fibre will irritate the lining of digestive track. They also focus on healthy flora, probiotics and healthy soil micro-organisms. I found when doing the raw food diet that I didn't have any problems with candida or yeast.
The Maker's Diet is more a way of life. I have found the diet quiet usefull in reintroducing heathy animal products back into our diet slowly, such as home made organic yogurts. We still however, eat a lot of raw salads and fruits on a daily basis, this is what the good bacteria love to feed off. I also take the probiotic formula enliven and have become a rep for onegroup to get the product cheaper. You can see their product
www.misecret.mionegroup.com .
I have found even when we have naughty b'day parties with iced cakes and bought fruit juices that we don't come down with colds like we used to when we are on the enliven product. Normally the sugar would feed up the bad bacteria putting them out of check and causing a symptom (the cold) but the enliven formula keeps it in check. I only use 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon daily but make sure I take it with my raw juice in the morning which is it's food source to multiply (kind of like brewing your own yogurt but your tummy is the jar
). Hope this makes sence.
I would encourage anyone who wants to clean out candida without pill supplements to grow some of your own vegies and so that they have healthy natural micro-organisms in their diet, even if it's only a little bit of spinash. Also include a lot of raw foods, try and have a side salad each with your main meal. For snacks b/w meals reach for an apple instead of a cooked slice. Also try taking a powdered formula like enliven and sprinkle it in your juice in the morning or your breaky cereal with some chopped raw apple if you can. Never take antibiotics. Probiotics will naturally help build up your bodies God given deffense system. Antibiotics will blow it away and make way for something worse to take hold.
