Re: Question on Yeast

[Guest guest]

If this was me, I'd be taking him to a good nutritional therapist, and

getting him evaluated for food allergies, and put on an anti-Candida regime.

I did this diet with my husband five years ago, and you can eat as much as

you wish, provided you avoid any foods that contain yeast, or bovine dairy

produce and any foods to which your son is currently allergic. Some food

allergies are misleading, because severe Candida overgrowth can mask them or

give " false positive " results. Your son would benefit from using grapefruit

seed extract internally (strongly anti-fungal), and from a strong

acidophilus/lactobacillus supplement. Caprylic acid can also help.

Ultimately I'm sure he would benefit from constitutional homoeopathy - but

once the overgrowth is cleared. It can be stubborn. Herbal remedies can

antidote the high levels of mercury and aluminium - I was put on yellow dock

for mine.

I'm sure you will get much good advice for this. Good luck with getting it

cleared. Don't despair - it can be done.

Love, light and peace,

Sue

Sharon...

I have no answer for you ... but my question..

how do you get rid of the mercury and aluminum to lower his levels???

Somedays, I must admit, I'd like to go back to being an ostrich.... bury my head

in the sand and not know about ..

constitution trashing politicians

vaccinations

government education (aka public schools)

my life was peaceful... I dutifully did what I was told LOLOL ... ok, so, no I

Really wouldn't want to go back to this because ultimately, I hope to get my

children healthier.... but man ... sometimes it's just TOO MUCH.

<<Your son would benefit from using grapefruit seed extract

internally (strongly anti-fungal). . .

We were having a discussion on disinfecting kennels naturally, and

somebody mentioned using GSE for that and also for mange. Another

girl wrote in that she doesn't recommend using GSE internally or

externally because it is used as a preservative instead of

disinfectant and because even as a preservative it's not natural.

Supposedly there are many studies proving that GSE only works because

it has synthetic preservatives - parabens. Anybody hear anything

about this? I am going to ask for her studies, but I hadn't heard

this before.

Thanks

We take alfalfa and kelp supplements which are supposed to help

detoxify the body and remove metals. Onions are also supposed to be a

natural chelating food, and we do eat lots of onions and garlic.

Manganese is also important in the diet - nuts, barley, whole wheat

etc. Vitamin C is good antioxidant and powerful chelating agent.

For mercury, chelation therapy is supposed to work well. High mercury

levels have been associated with candida, so high yeast AND high

mercury isn't too abnormal (I mean together).

For metal toxicity (especially aluminum) a diet high in fiber is

good. Especially apple pectin, which binds the metals in the colon

and helps excrete them from the body. In one book I read it said that

many researchers believe that aluminum cannot be chelated out of the

body as some metals can, but I would certainly do more research on

it!! Others believe oral chelation will help.

Calcium and magnesium are minerals the bind with aluminum and help

eliminate it from the body (used in chelate forms)

Garlic is great to detoxify.

Lecithin helps heal the brain from possible metal toxicity

extra vitamin B complex plus extra b6 and b12 - some people even have

doctor supervised injections as b's are very important in ridding the

intestinal tract of excess metals and removing them from the body.

HOpe this was of some help.

now you really have me curious .... candida as in the same candida that is

treated with meds such as monostat on the allopathic side?

Candida are tough lil buggers to get under control. I would suggest looking

at a parasite cleanse to go along with any candida cleanse. Yeah, I know the

thought of being wormy isn't much fun but most of us are. There's a great

book called " Guess What Came To Dinner " . It's very enlightening. Once you

kill off the other invaders, it's easier going with the candida.

<< Yes, this is what she means. I was battling this, too, and am not having

I use it internally all the time. Have friends that use it to.

No problems here.

have you been to the Nutribiotic site? I think it's www.nutribiotic.com

Morning-Mist>>Or were you meaning grape seed extract?<<

Grapeseed extract is an antioxidant and great for arthritis (I use it on my

dog).

I think she meant Grapefruit Seed Extract, which I had mentioned on that other

list (Hi! {{waving}}) I hadn't heard what she is talking about with the

parabens but I am looking forward to her response re: studies, etc. I used it

quite a bit for my dog's meat when she was on raw food, and I bought mine from

the health food store. It is NutriBiotic, standardized extract of grapefruit,

unfiltered formula, from certified organically grown grapefruit. Ingredients:

Vegetable glycerin (67%) and CITRICIDAL (33%) (I guess that is their name for

the extract). OK, here is what the label claims: " NutriBoitic Liquid

Concentrage contains CITRICIDAL. CITRICIDAL, is a natural quaternary compound

synthesized from the seed and pulp of certified organically grown grapefruit.

The process converts the grapefruit bioflavonoids (polyphenolics) into an

extremely potent compound that has been proven highly effective in numerous

applications. CITRICIDAL is used by healthcare professionals worldwide as

nutritional support for individuals with certain health concerns. "

he's going to the homeopath!)

Hi I just wanted to comment on this subject as I am having an on going

battle with Candida with my 4 year old who has thrush and I am wondering if

I will ever get rid of it. We do the acidophuls eveynight, she was taking

caprlic acid which was helping a lot but when we moved she decedied that she

would not take them anymore. I tried Grapefruit Seed Extract taste nasty

even when you put it in juice and she will not take that. I tried getting

her to take extra vit c she does not like the way they taste so she will not

take those. I tried oil of oregano taste affull. I have not been real good

about the diet as you are supposed to eleminate yeast products, wheat

products, rice, dairy, fruit. Ugg what a battle what to do I wish any one

battleing this lots of luck. Better then what I am having.

Given that Citricidal (GSE) is also anti-parasitic, it should deal with that

too...

Here is the info on parabens and GSE. I haven't even read it yet, but

I have to head out to clean the barn - if the tractor will start

again.

Aspects of the antimicrobial efficacy of grapefruit seed extract and

its relation to preservative substances contained.

Pharmazie 1999

Jun;54(6):452-6 (ISSN: 0031-7144)

von Woedtke T; Schluter B; Pflegel P; Lindequist U;

Julich WD [Find other articles with these Authors]

Institute of Pharmacy, Ernst Moritz

Arndt University, Greifswald, Germany.

The antimicrobial efficacy as well as the content of preservative

agents of six commercially available grapefruit seed extracts were

examined. Five of the six extracts showed a high growth inhibiting

activity against the test germs Bacillus subtilis SBUG 14,

Micrococcus flavus SBUG 16, Staphylococcus aureus SBUG 11, Serratia

marcescens SBUG 9, Escherichia coli SBUG 17,

Proteus mirabilis SBUG 47, and Candida maltosa SBUG 700.

In all of the antimicrobial active grapefruit seed extracts, the

preservative benzethonium chloride was detected by thin layer

chromatography. Additionally, three extracts contained the preserving

substances triclosan and methyl parabene. In only one of the

grapefruit seed extracts tested no preservative agent was found.

However, with this extract as well as with several self-made extracts

from seed and juiceless pulp of grapefruits (Citrus paradisi) no

antimicrobial activity could be detected (standard serial broth

dilution assay, agar diffusion test). Thus, it is concluded that the

potent as well as nearly universal antimicrobial activity being

attributed to grapefruit seed extract is merely due to the synthetic

preservative agents contained within. Natural products with

antimicrobial activity do not appear to be present.

another report:

Eisei Shikenjo Hokoku 1996;(114):38-42 (ISSN: 0077-4715)

Sakamoto S; Sato K; Maitani T; Yamada T

The components in a commercial natural food additive " Grapefruit seed

extract " and the ethanol extract of grapefruit seeds were analyzed by

HPLC and LC/MS. The HPLC chromatogram of the commercial grapefruit

seed extract was quite different from that of the ethanol extract of

grapefruit seeds. Three main peaks were observed in the chromatogram

of the commercial grapefruit seed extract. By comparison of the

retention times and the absorption spectra with those of authentic

samples, two peaks were ascribed to methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate and

2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenylether

(triclosan). Triclosan was also identified by LC/MS by using the

negative electrospray ionization method. (I don't think triclosan is

a natural product)

and yet another:

J Agric Food Chem 2001 Jul;49(7):3316-20 (ISSN: 0021-8561)

Takeoka G; Dao L; Wong RY; Lundin R; Mahoney N

Western Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U.S.

Department of Agriculture, 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, California

94710.

Commercial grapefruit seed extracts (GSE) were extracted with

chloroform. The solvent was evaporated, and the resulting solid was

subsequently analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography,

electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance

(NMR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis (by proton-induced X-ray

emission [PIXE] analysis). The main constituent was identified as

benzethonium chloride, a synthetic antimicrobial agent commonly used

in cosmetics and other topical applications. This compound comprised

8.03% (n = 2) of the liquid GSE sample. Higher amounts of

benzethonium chloride were found in powder GSE samples.

(ie...things are not always what they seem. If there were a true,

natural preservative, don't you think that all the 'big guys' in the

industry would be using it...since they are well aware that the

word " natural " sells?)

The accusations from German researchers are that it¹s contaminated

with Triclosan and benzethonium chloride and doesn¹t work as an

antimicrobial unless it is contaminated. The makers of Citricidal,

one of the most popular GSEs, claim that part of GSE is similar in

molecular weight to both of the named contaminants and that the test

results are showing a false positive. Without going into details of

gas spectrometry, this is feasible.

Sophisticated adulterators of essential oils use the same principle

because you can¹t distinguish between items of similar molecular

weights. Citricidal began independent testing for the absence of both

Triclosan and benzethonium chloride several years ago and issues a

certificate of analysis to that effect. They provide details of all

tests, both for and against on their website. Because the supposed

presence of the contaminants is from pesticide spraying of the fruit,

Citricidal has changed to certified organic fruit for production.

Their test results haven't changed.

There are compelling reasons not to use Parabens:

Parabens were considered innocuous until quite recently. Research in

the UK at Brunel University (1998) established that parabens were

oestrogen mimics. Upsetting the oestrogen balance is considered to

have significant effects including lowered sperm counts, breast

cancer, osteoporosis, and autoimmune disease. The response to this

study from the cosmetic industry association in Europe, COLIPA was

that the findings were irrelevant as they believed that parabens

didn¹t penetrate the skin. There is no scientific validity to this

claim. Skin penetration is affected by many factors such as heat,

hydration, occlusion and chemical synergies. Parabens are also

noted as a cause of allergic dermatitis. Methylparaben has been noted

as a suspected mutagen. It is also moderately toxic by ingestion.

Parabens are also suspected allergens. The Brunel University group

published this statement as part of their research findings:

" Given their use in a wide range of commercially available topical

preparations, it is suggested that the safety in use of these

chemicals should be reassessed, with particular attention being paid

to estimation of the actual levels of systemic exposure of humans

exposed to these chemicals. The acquisition of such data is a

prerequisite to the derivation of reliable estimates of the possible

human risk of exposure to parabens. "

> I think she meant Grapefruit Seed Extract, which I had mentioned on

that other list (Hi! {{waving}}) I hadn't heard what she is talking

about with the parabens but I am looking forward to her response re:

studies, etc. I used it quite a bit for my dog's meat when she was

Hi, I also going through thisat the moment for myself and my 3 year

old dd. I just have a couple of comments:

First, please make sure it is Candida. Apparently, it may not be in

my case. There are other yeasts that overgrow also, but i have yet to

find out which. So, I am using probiotic supplements but am still

waiting to get the right individual to oversee yeast elimination and

chelation. While my daughter is fairly hale and hearty, I have a

knackered liver... no not cirrhosis... :-)

I wish! I have not been able to drink " successfully " for many

years ...lol (sorry, no I would never wish, just being silly)

I am so vaxed that I have three W.H.O. booklets stapled together.. 6

monthly cholera, yellow fever, smallpox - I have had it all and much

much more... I also have a mouth full of dental amalgam that I have

been gradually replacing, and took antimalarials weekly for 17

years... stopped when I turned 18. It is surprising that I still have

a liver at all.

Do be careful when chelating because basically you are pulling these

toxic elements out of the place (where your body has stashed them in

an effort to lessen their effect) - right back into your bloodstream.

From the bloodstream, the first place they gravitate towards is the

brain. Ask me, I have a memory like a jack in a box. It comes and

goes all the time I get dizzy with the effort to remember things. At

one point, I was on the verge of ADD diagnoses until I somehow found

an outfit in LA that supports orthomolecular treatment for

neurological issues and mental illhealth. That prompted me to look a

little more closely at mercury, what happens to it and how it behaves

when it is in our body. So, please, please be careful.

The most recent book I have read that tackles this subject (among

others) is " Stop the Bellyaching " by Mansfield. There are

many other authors as well as that debate the immune system and will

invariably also have a section on yeast overgrowth.

I wish you all the best.

Sharon, i had the same thing with my daughter. none of her friendly bacteria

present in her gut due to antibiotics in my drip after c-section.

We both took excellent probiotics. She took Jarrow dophilus which make one

for infants so has an infant strain in it as well. it worked. i was nursing

and so treated myself for candida rotating pau d'arco, garlic, caprylic acid

remedies every four days. I also took psyllium.

it all resolved in a week or so. she had a nasty diaper rash and that went.

good luck,

kim

It absolutely can be done but theres sometimes a lot you have to do -

supplements, diet etc so it feels impossible but its possible. for my candida

many years ago, i had a session on the rife machine ( a frequency generator).

zapped it.

i was much better after that.

Many of them do belong to the Candida family though. Albicans is just one,

but the most common, I think...

I grew up in West Africa - out in the boonies. Idyllic while I was

there. The boarding school in Lebanon at 7 - not so idyllic. So, yes,

I guess I have been around. I also lived in the States in the 80's.

Youngstown and Cleveland (hmmmm.....)

I do recommend it and I rate it very highly but it is by

Mansfield,MD - not sorry! Stop Bellyaching ISBN0.285.63618.9

It is one of several books i keep on hand and use regularly.

Another one is The Immune System Cure by Vanderhaeghe and Bouic, PhD.

ISBN: 1.903116.36.8 I kind of pick and choose what works for us or

is relevant as I find it all a little bit overwhelming.

I wrote the original e-mail and thought I should correct myself on

something. We take alfalfa and kelp as they are supposed to help

eliminate metals that are coming into your body - not eliminate ones

already in your body. They work only in the intestinal tract and

supposedly have little effect on past exposure and other pollutants

already deposited in bone and other tissues. Kelp is high in sodium

alginate which helps prevent/reduce absorption of (besides barium,

cadmium, plutoniom and cesium) strontium, a heavy metal which has

been linked to several cancers. I believe they said studies have

shown they reduce absorption by as much as 83% - can't remember off

hand. The Nuclear regulatory commission advocate 3 oz a week or 2

tablespoons of alginate supplement a day to prevent strontium 90

absorption.

Though you do need to be careful when elminating anything from your

body (as one lady mentioned putting it back in the bloodstream), the

other things I mentioned are good for anybody to incorporate into

their diet - onions, garlic, vitamin C, high fiber diet, b vitamins

etc.
