Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Daryl Please don't be so hard on yourself. I have felt the way you felt and screamed at my kids and husband at times also. When you herx, it really brings out the emotional symptoms too, especially irritability and rage. It is so hard when you don't feel good to get and take all this stuff--especially if you are going to feel worse before you feel better. It is a real hard road to go down. You are not lazy. The fatigue and pain and depression can be overwhelming. Try to do take just one supplement at a time and maybe just do one other thing to detox on top of it---like take a detox bath or coffee enema or colonic. Notice those are or's not ands!!! You are not going to be able to function if you are herxing too badly. And I can tell you just from my experience--we are all different---that I can't outlast the herxing. For instance, if something makes me herx, I can take it for weeks without ever feeling any better and most likely feeling worse and worse. So I have to back off of it. The thing I tolerated the best was primal defense. That was it. I couldn't do another yeast killer with it. I took it for a year before I added oil of oregano. I can't tell you how many things I have had to back off of because the herxing got crazy with no end in sight. And yet, I have improved remarkably!! So you don't have to throw everything at yourself to improve. AS far as mycoplasma goes, olive leaf extract kills myco's and some rheumy's even have used olive leaf for mycoplasma. Again, I could not tolerate olive leaf, it gave me the same herx as doxy-- even stronger probably because it kills candida too. There is a candida website and they are constantly endorsing liver cleanses. As far as diet, just change what you can. You can get really down if you cut out everything at once. Go slow in making your modifications. I would first try cutting out grains. Many people with candida have leaky gut and react to gluten. I would cut out most bread, cereal and pasta. If that goes well, cut out most starches like potatoes. I will tell you that I have tried the sugar free diet for more than a month at a time and it made little difference. Some people notice a very big difference.It just depends on your body. I think yoiu should get The Maker's Diet. It will be out april 6th. Try to follow that if you can. It is supposed to be very powerful. I ordered it and am getting a free jar of coconut oil from dr mercola's website becasue he so strongly endorses this book on diet and health. Good luck and please don't be hard on yourself. You need to keep your thoughts positive and believe that you will find healing. God's love and peace to you kathy -- In , " anita kessler " <AnitaK001@m...> wrote: > DARYL, I AM SO SORRY YOU ARE HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SUGAR CRAVINGS ARE ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST OBSTACLES. MAYBE YOU REALLY SHOULD LOOK INTO HYPNOSIS AND THAT WOULD ELIMINATE AT LEAST ONE PROBLEM. DETOXING REALLY IS SCARY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE OUR BEST HOPE. ANYWAY, DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF. JUST KEEP GOING AND GIVE YOURSELF A PASS WHEN IT GETS TO BE TOO MUCH. LOVE AND PRAYERS, ANITA > > Re: Anita-about micoplasma test > > I am sorry that I didn't call you over the weekend-I am having problems keeping up with this detox.I had so much pain and fatigue that I didn't take all my supp. or cut up the garlic.If I was wealthy, I would have somebody bring me all that stuff in bed. My sweet cravings are getting worse, no other food seems worth eating. > > Anyway, Dr. Mason on Green Valley Pkwy. #269-6507 is the Dr. who said that I had mycoplasma, Patty was with me and he tried to give me a strong, short dose of antibiotics. He didn't believe in candida or breast implants harming me. I never went back to him again. I still haven't found another Dr. who believes in micoplasma. I wish I could wake up tomorrow and find that this whole thing was a dream. > > I screamed at my husband yesterday in from of all the neighbors and my 2 yr. old son. I am so angry at everyone and everything. I wish that I was a stronger person that could handle this whole mess, and try to cure myself. > I never want my little boy to see me act like a raving ,crazy lady again. I just can't believe that I'm still in pain after almost 6 yrs. I look in the mirror and am so mad at myself. > > I can't think straight and my son is getting so independant. Just trying to get him into the car to go to the babysitter is getting too hard for me. My husband looks at me with such cold eyes, it's so different than the proud, loving looks from him I used to receive. > Anyway, I know that we all have it hard, I just want to detox and try to put my life back together. It just seems like all of you are so much stronger than me abour keeping on the program for yeast. I could be getting better right now!! Why can't I just do what I'm supposed to do??? I just feel like I'm too lazy to get well. > > Sorry about the depressing note-Love, Daryl > >> > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
