I'm hoping diet will make a difference. I have also been trying to

find out why these things attack me, no one else in my family has

been attacked by them. To the best of my knowledge no one at work

has gotten them from me, and we have had guests spend the weekend

without any problems. I just got back from spending 4 days at a

relatives house. I warned them of the problem and also took extreme

caution not to pass them on.

I have been trying to follow a yeast free diet for the past 2 weeks.

I went to the library and checked out the book " Complete Candida

Yeast Guidebook " by Jeanne . I am trying to follow her

suggestions as close as possible, but still have alot of reading to

do. I have eliminated sugar, wheat and all risen bread products,

fruit (natural sugars) with the exception of cooked berries. This

has made me an oddball at Christmas dinner and parties. I have

moderate symptoms of yeast overgrowth. (rashes prior to the

infestation, cemical sensitivity, and toe nail fungus). From this

book I also learned I probably have a hormone imbalance. I am trying

to correct it with progestrone cream and soy products. I also

learned that blood type A persons(after 40 and esp. after 60) have

reduced hydrochloric acid in the stomach which can lead to yeast

over-growth. I am going to try to supplement with digestive enzymes,

maybe glutamic acid, betaine or pepsin hydrocholride. Has anyone

else made similar diet changes? Has it helped?

>Also someone else noted that we are told we are attractive to the

mites because we have a comprimised immune system, but people around

me have gotten the flu and colds and so far I haven't caught

anything from them. Could it be my body is good at fighting off

viral infections, but not bacterial ones?

I think it may be more due to the deiciencies in the detox pathways and then some chemicals stay in the body by storage, and it is their presence that attracts them whether it be directly related to toxicity or the effects of toxicity. When the body is busy addressing everything we put in and on it and everything else, it wears it down after awhile. The thing about the immune system is that there are many subdivisions of it. And over long term disease the systems "switch" from normal mode to the parasympathetic mode. Everything gets turned on full blast and your body starts robbing " to pay ". In that sense it is then a compromised immune system. Because of the overload, you may not catch whatever is going around.

The presence of chemicals in the tissues may explain why some "get it and some don't" or why certain cells may be affected over others.

Also, I did want to add, that stages of these things are so very tiny. One could forseeably carry them for awhile and not become symptomatic right away. By the time one becomes symptomatic enough, and then the process of determining what the hell it is, by that time the infestation is pretty well underway.

Hi, my friends, hope everyone survived the holiday celebrations, or

lack thereof, all right.

On 1 November, I watched a National Geographic special called

" America's Deadly Dozen. " In the show segment on killer bees, the

narrator said " The first thing that the FIRST bee does on biting a

human is to inject a pheromone that immediately attracts other killer

bees. " I know that fleas and lice inject a cold fluid that serves now

as a warning that pain is about to follow, and gives me a chance to

remove the pest before it can do much damage.

The above quote is not exactly an official statement, however I would

trust NatGeo before I would trust other resources. They are likely to

have done a bit of homework. If it is true, it confirms what we have

discussed here.
