candida

[Guest guest]

Transferring this message to the forum. For those of you who

have been treated for candida or can offer Sharon some advice, please let her

know.

Luv - Sheila

Hi Sheila,

Im just wondering about the candida problem,as I was told I had systemic

candida several years ago.Myself,my hubby and my 2 kids went to see someone for

allergy testing privately.We were all told we had candida and numerous

sensitivities to foods,environmental and chemical substances.Of course I was by

far the worse!We all stuck to a very strict diet and supplement regime,but it

was quite unsuccesful.My regime was the strictest and I stuck to it for about a

year,as did my family.In the end the person we used to go to suggested we gave

up as we were not achieving the results we should have been..Ive read the

supplements that people advice you to take on this site for candida,all of

which we were all taking and then some and wonder how it would help now as it

didnt do anything then.I cant begin to tell you how many courses of antibiotics

I had from a very young age and for so long through my life.They were like

sweets to me in the end! It obviously makes me feel even more negative as to my

thyroid treatment,if the candida affects that and I couldnt get rid of it

before,then how am I going to fair now? I would post this on the forum,but I

dont know if Ive been sending messages to the right address,or if people just

dont want to respond to my messages.Maybe Im just being my paranoid self....

Best wishes Sharon

Hi

*What* have you been trying supplement wise? Have you tried any anti fungal

drugs eg diflucan, nystatin? There may be things you've not tried that people

can suggest if they know what you have tried -or different combinations. eg,

did you ever try Iodoral/iodine? Please can you be specific as to what you

tried and whether you tried multidosing things at the same time or not.

Dr Orian Truss

http://confucioused.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FF8A179A238F4D57!250.entry

In 1953 Dr Orian Truss discovered the devastating effects of antibiotics in an

Alabama (USA) hospital. During a hospital round Truss was intrigued by a gaunt,

apparently elderly man who was obviously dying. However, he was only in his

forties and in hospital for four months. No specialist had been able to make a

diagnosis. Out of curiosity Truss asked the patient when be was last completely

well.

Lugol's Iodine The man answered that he was well until six months before when he

had cut his finger He had received antibiotics for this. Shortly afterwards he

developed diarrhoea and his health deteriorated. Truss had seen before how

antibiotics cause diarrhoea. It was known that Candida was opportunistic and

thrived in debilitated patients, but now Truss wondered if it might not be the

other way round, that Candida actually caused the debilitated condition.

He had read that potassium Iodide solution could be used to treat Candida

infestation of the blood. So he put the patient on six to eight drops of Lugol's

solution four times a day and soon the patient was again completely well.

Soon afterwards he had a female patient with a stuffy nose, a throbbing

headache, vaginitis and severe depression. To his amazement all her problems

immediately cleared with Candida treatment. Some time later he saw a female

patient who had been schizophrenic for six years with hundreds of electroshock

treatments and massive drug dosages. He started treating the woman for sinus

allergies with a Candida vaccine. Soon she had recovered mentally and

physically, and remained well.

From then on he treated his patients against Candida at the slightest indication

of its presence. Many of his patients made remarkable recoveries from most

unusual conditions including menstrual problems, hyperactivity, learning

disabilities, autism, multiple sclerosis and auto-immune diseases such as

Crohn's disease and lupus erythematosus.

Every experienced naturopath can relate similar success stories. Ironically,

antibiotics are usually not necessary in the first place. In a few per cent of

the cases in which they are necessary their serious after effects could easily

be avoided using fungicides and lactobacilli.

Many people doubt the effectiveness of natural therapies against apparently

serious infections, but my experience leads me to believe that frequently

natural therapies are more effective, without causing the repeated and chronic

infections seen after antibiotics. I have seen patients who have been

unsuccessful on long-term antibiotic treatment recover within days or weeks with

natural therapies.

Hi Sharon

[[...When I first started I had quite severe "die-off" and had to support myself with more supplements to help eleviate that. In the end they didnt know what to suggest and told me that it was not getting better as I was not eating organic foods and the antibiotics in the meat was probably causing the problem,so I gave up!....]]

....it may not have been just the antibiotics in the meat, but the insecticidal /herbicidal residues passing though the food chain.

eg, organochlorine compounds will cause serious endocrine disruption if allowed to accumulate in the food chain....

the same goes for the organophosphates that are still being used....farmers being badly hit...

it appears a high fat diet may help with some of these problems, but can lead on to added weight ~ it makes you feel better with a higher fat intake !

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon,

On the contrary, I use bicarb for my teeth instead of ordinary salt.

the taste is almost none ....... I deduced this a few years ago ( prior to the occasion when 'Arm and Hammer' put out their own sodium bicarbonate brand toothpaste, swiftly followed by all the others ...not to miss a trick....)

I suspect the information was relayed via the US listening organisation / someone working for 'Oxy Inc' in the UK (Occidental Oil Company of which, Armand Hammer was CEO).

....anyway no credit given for this 'minor' discovery....but was obvious to anyone with half a brain (me included)....

some of the simplest remedies are disparaged for their detrimental effect upon the more profitable 'lines'...

as F has discovered on the relationship of high/low T4 and magnesium levels (secrets guarded by big pharma include disinformation amounting to deliberate fraud ) .....not to mention, whopping fines for being found out......

Hi Sharon,

Was your ulcer due to Helicobacter Pylori?

It was the classic cause of ulcers and a tidy source of work for many a surgeon

before the real cause was discovered (and a Nobel Prize awarded for that

discovery).

What antifungals have you been taking Joe and are you taking

these on a regular basis? I certainly have had reports from some of our members

that they have done well on bicarbonate of soda.

Luv - Sheila

I have been struggling with Candida for a number of years. I

have

been using anti fungals for about 3 years. I have

been recommended to try baking soda as an anti fungal. I would like

to know if anyone has tried this, and what their experiences are

and any advice?

I've read that supervision of sodium bicarbonate use would be

advisable for maintaining electrolyte status or ph level. Does

anyone know what this is about? What things do I need to look out

for in using baking soda?

Thanks

I've tried caproyl, kolorex, olive leaf extract, Proseed triple

yeast defense, Oreganum Plus. I have been rotating these every 3

months, but I talked to others who say to switch

every 1 or 2 weeks. If this is true I might have wasted a lot of

time.

I've been trying the baking soda since Friday, Jan 22 at 1 tsp

in the morning.

I'm still not sure how baking soda works in the body.

Does the baking soda clean out the digestive tract; does it move

through the rest of the body to other organs?

Does it kill the Candida by raising the ph level or just a

chemical reaction?

Is there a danger of the body becoming to alkaline from taking

baking soda?

Can I balance the electrolytes by adding something to the

diet?

Are there symptoms I should look for?

Thanks for the article you sent from Bob the Chemist. I think

I'll have to read it a few times.

From what I understand adding baking soda can affect the

electrolytes by adding more salt.

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying to figure out how

this works. Searching the Internet doesn't seem to be that

helpful.

Thanks

[Guest guest]

Hi Joe,

Not about Candida but some info from Dr M re Acid Alkali balance.

She recommends magnesium carbonate instead of sodium bicarbonate as the western

diet is already high in sodium.

I not sure if this would do the same but something to think about.

My daughter is about to try this and also has candida so maybe she will see some

improvement.

Hi! Joe

I suffered very badly with Candida/thrush for at least ten years, doctor tried

me on everything but to no avail.

The only thing that did help was plain LIVE yogurt (kept in the fridge) which I

applied to the area of discomfort and I also used to keep a bag of ice cubes as

it was the only thing (short term) that gave relief) after use I put the used

cubes in a clean bag for use again... Never tried the baking soda though..

It was so bad that I scratched myself raw to the point of bleeding!!! I just

could not help myself... the heat and the itching was so bad.

Just a point though ( may help )after my complaining time & time again the DOC

sent me to see a private consultant, who diagnosed Eczema. He said that because

a few of the test results came back with Candida my Doctor just kept treating me

for that...

Don't know if any of this info will help but I hope it does..

Here is a link to a website with clips from an interview with

Dr.Aspley by R S Bell. He talks about fighting cancer. He says

other bicarbonates can be used such as calcium, magnesium ant

potassium. I'd like to hear more about this. I'm not sure if the

amount used would be the same. Let me know if you find out

anything.

http://www.curenaturalicancro.com/pdf/sodium-bicarbonate.pdf

Dr

Semonchini says that for candida, sodium bicarbonate can be taken orally.

He recommends 1 teaspoon before breakfast, but I think it better to start on

half a teaspoon for one month, and then build it up gradually.

1

teaspoon in 1 glass of water before breakfast. Half that dosage for

children.

Take

it for every day for one month: stop for two weeks; and then take it again

for another month.

You can

buy Bell's sodium bicarbonate from Boots Chemist or Sainsbury's Supermarket.

Their sodium bicarbonate is as a remedy for indigestion.

You will

find lots of information re Candida/treatment/diet etc in our FILES section

which you can get to by clicking FILES on the Home page of this forum's web

Hi hilary - have

you ever been tested to see whether you are actually suffering with Lichen

Sclerosis. Many sufferers of hypothyroidism have this complaint and it can ONLY

be treated successfully with a steroid cream called Dermovate. I would point

out that to get a true diagnosis for lichen sclerosis, you need to have a small

portion of tissue removed from the affected area which is then analysed.

As far as Candida

is concerned, we are talking about candida that takes over your gut. Read about

this in our web site www.tpa-uk.org.uk -

click on Hypothyroidism and then click on 'Associated Conditions' in the drop

down Menu and then click on 'Candida'.

For Candida I am going by symptoms. I also did the saliva test which

I failed. From what I have studied there is no accurate test for

Candida. As for anti fungals I would rather use natural substances.

I don't think my doctors would be open to Candida treatment.

I had a number of mercury fillings, but I had them removed a few

years ago.

I don't know what is causing the problem. I always had problems with

things such as brain fog as early as a teenager. I fell into

depression during my teenage years. I enrolled in an accounting

program in 1989 and made it through the first year and then I got

stressed and haven't recovered yet: easily exhausted and stressed,

muscle tension, trouble concentrating and thinking clearly.

Maybe it's from thyroid problems. A doctor I'm seeing said my iodine

was low, or maybe from low stomach acid. Maybe from eating too many

sweets and drinking when I was younger. I'm just starting to learn

this and it seems complicated.

[Guest guest]

Ok i was about to mention iodine, there is a good iodine group on

" iodine " . I think iodine helps detox certain metals (inc

fluoride, bromine) from our bodies?

It seems a bit of a controversial issue though.

may be worth speaking to the iodine people - their moderator has worked with Dr

Brownstein I believe, who wrote a book about iodine.

Chris

[Guest guest]

Hi Joe - you should be tested properly to find out whether you

have candida antibodies. You should not be guessing at a diagnosis and treating

it. Why would your doctor not be open to Candida treatment - doesn't he realise

the seriousness of such a disease and the effect this has on your other organs.

The best natural antifungal you can use for Candida is GARLIC.

Dear Joe,

The Iodine Health group could inform you about Iodine deficiency. Quite a few of them have experience with Candida as well. If you read the articles on www.optimox.com about optimal iodine levels they explain how the current RDA and acceptable urine levels are based on some very dubious scientific reasoning. Unless your doctor is someone informed about this, if he says you lack iodine chances are that you really do need some because most doctors are not informed about this and miss low iodine levels and underdose when iodine needs supplementing.. There is a protocol for dealing with low iodine called the Iodine Protocol. You can find it on the above mentioned site or www.breastcancerchoices.org or my site www.iodefrance.com.

I have been following the iodine protocol because I have Hashimoto's disease, RT3 and fibrocystic breast disease. When I read about all the things that low iodine can cause I considered myself very lucky to have got a thyroid problem first and not cancer! I think my mother had the same kind of problems and she died of breast cancer. She probably had thyroid problems because she was depressed and a few other things but she was given anti-depressants. Nobody thought to check her thyroid.

I don't wish to be alarmist but I think iodine is worth spending some time on.

Have you considered that there might be a parasite connection to this? it is

something to think about, www.humaworm.com has good info and you can order there

product from there quite cheaply i have found it very effective.

could it be that the candida is able to exist becuase of parasites? Just

something for you to think about

muscle tension, trouble concentrating and thinking clearly.

Maybe it's from thyroid problems. A doctor I'm seeing said my iodine

was low, or maybe from low stomach acid. Maybe from eating too many

sweets and drinking when I was younger. I'm just starting to learn

this and it seems complicated.
