Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I just read this article and I think I may have this, because I have fungal on my thumb for 2 years now. The doctor had prescripbed some internal med. which did not function well with my body, then he gave me external med. for my nail, which is not really helping. I don't know what else to do, because I am getting an allergic reaction to some clothes items. It makes me itch and then I have a rash near my waist-line. Is there a cure for Candida?

I will post the rest of these in the next few days What is Candida? Candida is a yeast which inhabits the body, generally arising in the colon. However, the word is generally used to refer to when the Candida yeast has grown out of control and begun to create harmful effects within the body. Thus to say, "I think I have Candida", would mean that you have an overgrowth of the Candida yeast/fungus. Candida feeds off the food that you eat, especially sugars and starches. This takes away from the nutrients which you need to survive. Candida then begins to produce its own waste products. These wastes are toxic to the system and cause most of the sickness and disease which plagues man. Candida is controversial. The medical profession denies its existence, except in very limited cases, making it very difficult (probably impossible) to get a medical diagnosis of Candida even when an overgrowth has been confirmed by a laboratory test. Despite this situation, public awareness of Candida has continued to grow, helped no doubt by the long list of celebrities who, quite unperturbed by its lack of medical status, assert that they have had it. Candida albicans is a yeast-like fungal parasite inhabiting the digestive tracts of nearly all adult humans. Normally, Candida peacefully co-exists with other microbial passengers in our bodies. However, it also appears to be a cause of a wide variety of disorders ranging from bad breath to serious neurological disorders. It’s also controversial – at least among the mainstream medical community Candida is the popular term for Candidiasis (Candida overgrowth) - a condition first identified by American physicians in the 1970s. Moderate amounts of Candida live in every one of us without causing any harm, but when given free rein to grow unchecked, e.g. by wiping out the surrounding bacteria with broad-spectrum antibiotics, Candida can change into its fungal form and spore through the intestinal wall into the rest of the body. Once through, it rampages around the body producing a multitude of symptoms. Common symptoms of Candida There are too many symptoms to list them all here. A minority of sufferers have numerous symptoms; the vast majority have thrush + a few others; not every sufferer has thrush. Group 1: The damage to the intestinal wall allows undesirable toxins to permeate into the bloodstream. This condition called ‘leaky gut syndrome’ often leads to: Food allergies Foggy brain Migraines Muscle aches Group 2: Once through to the rest of the body, Candida has the ability to disrupt the endocrine system causing symptoms such as: (Candida on finger nail) Thrush (white spots in the mouth) Fungal infections of the nails/skin e.g. athlete’s foot Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder causing frequent, burning urination, most common in women. Estimated that 40% of the female population will suffer from this) Weight gain or weight loss PMS Menstrual irregularities Joint pains Ear infections Asthma Chronic tiredness Hay-fever Allergies Sinusitis Sensitivity to perfume, tobacco smoke and gasoline Group 3: Symptoms in the intestines include: Bloating Diarrhea and/or constipation Flatulence Itchy anus In addition, Candida involvement has been implicated in some cases of other illness e.g. ME/CFS, Endometriosis. Causes of Candida The popular perception is that Candida is the consequence of antibiotics usage. The medical profession dismisses this as fantasy, saying that antibiotics could not have that effect in a healthy individual. But it may be that antibiotics act as the ‘final straw’ where health has already been compromised, most probably by one or more of the following: Use of the contraceptive pill or HRT (hormone replacement therapy) Use of natural progesterone cream Use of other steroids (hydrocortisone, beconase, prednisolone etc.) Use of immuno-suppressive drugs Repeated use of broad-spectrum antibiotics e.g. for acne Dental mercury amalgam poisoning Other heavy metal poisoning e.g. lead, cadmium Chemical poisoning from the home, garden, workplace etc. (Candida) Hormonal changes e.g. puberty, pregnancy, menopause Stress - usually as a contributory factor It has been known for decades that Candida flourishes in the presence of progesterone which explains why so many women get outbreaks of thrush when pre-menstrual. Candida is not just the result of a faltering hormonal system, as it in turn aggravates the situation by binding to hormones, making them incapable of arriving at their target sites. At this point new symptoms appear, adding to the misery. This is the first part of a multi part series on Candida. ly; I am not certain how many parts this will be. Candida is raging amongst us. There used to be a funny phrase: “The fungus among us”, or “…a fun guy to be around…”, this could not be farther from the truth. This is not a fun topic. As you have just read, there are many conditions brought to us thanks to an overgrowth of Candida. In this series, we hope to educate you on Candida, its symptoms, what it’s caused from, and how to handle it. Many people get a rash or a broad-termed yeast infection; the doctor prescribes a pill that you only have to take once (with each out-break apparently). Use a lotion or a salve for a week (again with each out break). We want to treat the cause, we don’t want to treat the symptom. If a fire is burning in a pan, you put a lid on it to smother it. Cut off its supply of oxygen…starve it. Why not do the same for Candida, and other yeast-like infections-- -STOP THE CAUSE! Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thank you, I'll try that. From reading the list of symtoms, I might have it. I am developing minor rashes. Does anyone know of any vitamins, oils or creams that will decrease the yeast produce? I haven't been feeling good, but can't go to a doctor right now, don't think it's gonna help, but I need to do something. I feel depress about my symtoms and not knowing what else to do.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I believe that Candida is best cured from the inside, but there are a couple of Vick's Vapor Rub organic look-alikes in the archives that should work on the fungus.
