, after a lifetime of dealing with fungus and getting practically

nowhere, I can tell you that the brain fog is real, but also that it is

a result of a combination of toxins from the fungus and vitamin and

mineral deficiencies which a bad case of fungus will cause because it

eats what you eat and leaves you with very little depending on how bad

the yeast has become. I would not call it fog as much as I would lack

of brain function and memory due to those two factors. Maybe there is

more also, but that is certainly two bigies.

Some people do get it in the brain and blood in which case, they don't

live very long if they don't get rid of it or keep it down with diet.

A catch 22, you can eat few things while you are starving and the fungus

keeps eating.

While I am thinking of it, for those of you on this group that are

suffering from candida and have direct tv and tivo, you can look up on

your tivo Dr. Kaufman and watch his program. He deals mostly with

fungus and cancer and has written a large book that argues that fungus

is a cancer. He also deals with a few other health issues and has

guests most of the time. Also it is a great place to watch the

advertisements for the latest cures and vitamins etc......

My mother has a cancer spot on her forehead. Since it is not extremely

dangerous to let go for a month or two, my Dr. has agreed to allow us to

experiment with baking soda and my ultra violet machine to see if it

will successfully get rid of it. If it does not show improvement in

30 days or less, the Dr. will remove it. If this works, I will let

you all know and then it is pretty probable that it is indeed a type of

fungus because external fungus responds to baking soda ALONE and also

the violet ray device which also creates some ozone at the same time as

the electrical charge.

Hi Steph,

My aunt removed two cancer spots on her face with our ozonated olive oil

(Nature's Gift) and my mom has removed one with it. It works very well and is

very easy to use, you might want to give that a try.

And although it sounds nice that your Dr. has " agreed to allow us to experiment "

I have to say, it sounds like you have forgotten who answers to whom in this

relationship. You don't answer to him, he can't decide your treatment plan, he

can't force you to do anything no matter what the outcome or prognosis. You are

the paying (yes through cash, cheque, credit card or taxes you pay for his

services) customer. I doubt you wouldn't let a mechanic tell you that he will

" agree to allow you to... " . But we see our relationship so differently with the

doctor. You (and your mom) get to decide if he removes it or if you get someone

else to remove it or if you don't have it removed or what ever you do or don't

do with it. He can only recommend and suggest (although he will try to coerce

and push and intimidate) and you get to decide. You are the consumer.

So take longer than 30 days if you want... what if it takes 31?

Don't let a doctor tell you what to do, believe me he does NOT care for your

mother as much as you do.

Good luck with what ever you decide.

Sherri-Lee,

THANK YOU for this response, and for all the points you made about how

we each must make our own decisions about our health and not give away

our either our power or the sole responsibility for our health to a

medical professional - particularly an allopathic one. I agree with

everything you said and am grateful to you for being so forthright in

telling it like it is and sharing your thoughts here on this forum.

I watched my mother put her life, her power and virtually the entire

responsibility for her health in the hands of a surgeon and an

oncologist, who respectively sliced her nearly to death with a knife

and poisoned her with so many rounds of chemotherapy that her body

became so wasted and frail that she eventually fell into a coma and

died. It's an all too common scenario and a downright travesty as far

as I'm concerned. People need to wake up and realize that by and

large, pharmaceuticals, surgery and radiation are only designed to

treat and mask symptoms, (and generate tons of money for the medical

industrial complex) while never truly addressing the root cause(s)

that has given rise to ill health in the first place.

Steph, I hope you and your mom will take Sherr-Lee's words to heart

and assume a different perspective about yourselves and your health in

relation to your doctor.

You also might be interested in looking at this link, which is a

graphic pictorial diary of using cansema, colloidal silver and clay to

remove skin cancer:

Good luck with your mom. I hope you'll let us know how it goes with her.

Hi ,

I wanted to respond regarding brain fog because I am always looking

for something to clear my head. However, what I am about to suggest

doesn't have anything to do with ridding yourself of the funal

issues. You can take my suggestions or leave it. It's so often

trying this or that to find what works.

B-12 has helped me so much over the years that when I got much

better, I quit taking it. I was taking B-12 shots. I think not

taking it was a big mistake and am just now getting back on it.

There are different types of B-12. It is the methylcobalamin form

that is found in the brain. Check out www.immunesupport.com for more

information on their form of B-12. I actually just ordered their

advanced or highest from of various forms of B-12 that is suppost to

do a multiple of things including increase mental clarity, energy and

even detoxing. It's a bit pricey, but if you don't want to go that

route, the plain methylcobalamin is pretty inexpensive. They're all

pill form, under the tongue. I got kind of tired of the shots so

this is a nice alternative. If your interested, check it out.

I have to also say I still like the piracetam. I'd tried it and then

stop because it seemed to make me tired. I'm assuming the tireness

was a result of that plus other supplements I am taking. I seem to

be always looking for the correct balance. Anyway, I went back on it

and am only taking a very small amount, 1/4 tsp., but it seems to

help clear things somewhat.

Egg yolk lecithin is also another supplement I take that is brain

friendly. When I go off it, I gradually decend mentally but don't

notice it because it's gradual. After awhile I start to wonder what

happened to my brain? Oh, yeah! Egg yolk lecthin. Duh!

Also, a mineral drink I started taking seems to be sharpening my

mental facilities. I've tried two different kinds. One was by

TriMedica that I bought from Azure. It says 'just an ounce' 72

delicious colloidal trace minerals, tropical fruit flavor. I have to

agree, it is VERY tasty. Recently, I orderd a different brand from

ogana. You can get it in a gallon and is considerably less $. Not

as tasty, tho.

Lugol's iodine. Just went on that, too.

Something seems to be working. Although, not what I was before

coming down with cfids, there is a clearing happening when taking the

above.

Oh, I also started back up on the MMS drops, too. It all seems to be

working together. But if you don't want to try them all or don't

have the dollors, I'd suggest trying the B-12. Most people respond

well to adding that to their daily supplements.

I also went off gluten. You know, sometimes I think it's more about

what we eat or don't eat than other protocols that heal.

Thinking about your adrenal problems, you would probably be wise to

include the b's as well as C.

Take care,

Gail

Greetings Gail. Do I understand your post to say that you found a

source for injectable METHYL-cobalamin? The sublinguals I've been

taking seem to work but an injectable would probably be 10X better.

Thank you for your time. Jim

Gail, when I wasn't healing from deficiencies and the candida, my left

arm hurt so bad I could not lay on it or sleep nights. As soon as I

started taking the fulvic minerals it healed and now I can put my arm

behind my back which I couldn't do before. They must be good as I also

have not had any bad side effects from it and take a capful or more

daily. I am sensitive to a lot of things and have not had any trouble

with it yet after almost a year. Also there is a good product made

by Future formulations called Super adrenal stress that contains most of

the B vitamins plus other goodies for the adrenals and comes in tablet

form.

Steph

[Guest guest]

No, Jim. The shots I used were cyanobobalam which is suppose to

convert to METHYL in the liver, but when the liver is compromised, I

wonder how much is converted. The source for the methyl I mentioned

is a sublingual, but they have come up with a very high potent form.

Hi Steph,

Yes, I've used the fulvic minerals and have only praise for them except

for the price. The organa I mentioned run $35 a gallon compared to

about $25 or so a quart for the fulvic.

Hi Gail,

I thought you'd like this-

http://www.stankurtz.com/biomedical/mb12-nasal-spray-summary.html

If you click on " media shows " on the left, there are a bunch of

interviews with people who have had good results using the nasal spray.

I've been using the transdermal dmso/b12 for years but wanted to try

this out - so, got some Source Naturals Advanced B12 Complex with methyl

and adenosyl B12, ground up some tablets with mortar and pestle and let

it soak in water. Poured off the liquid, leaving the binders behind,

into an emptied and washed nasal spray bottle (think it had some sort of

decongestant), closed off alternate nostrils and used it as a normal

nasal spray. Seemed to work just fine.

I had my husband use my nasal b12 concoction, it's hard keeping his b12

level up and it nailed a sinus infection that was trying to erupt.

Nice. Another thing that seems to be helping him with fatigue, eyesight

issues and brain overuse is a few wasabi rice crackers. What? That one

surprised me. Most of his fatigue seems to come from the gut. We've

been gluten free for a few years. I started him with Enzymatica V-Gest

in the morning to get his blood sugars down and maybe this only applies

to his issues but the gut issues moved toward normal and fatigue

lessened(and then blood sugars floated down across a few days). He and

both our kids have serious gut issues, our son has celiac disease.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

This is so interesting. Thank you very much.

I just tried your suggestion except it wouldn't come out of the nasal

bottle I had so used it as a nose drop method. Too early to tell if

it did anything.

What is the dosage of the B12 you take? The pill I had was 1mg.,

which if I'm correct equal 1,000 mcg. That would be close to what

was hinted in the article you sent.

I did not realize B12 is an ozidator. Very interesting.

May I ask what your family eats on any given day at each meal

including snacks? I'm new to this gluten free diet and so far my

diet is very plain. I eat fruits and vegtables, eggs, chicken &

beans. Sometimes I will also eat yogart and cottage cheese, but I'm

thinking that's not really allowed, correct? Does your family stay

away from all dairy? Is goat cheeses allowed or no?

Thanks again. It was so interersting to me. I kind of had to laugh

tho cause I thought to myself the things people do to get well. If

the nose drops didn't work, I was gonna snort the stuff. lol

Thanks,

Gail

Hi Gail,

I used the B12 spray this morning and it completely cleared out my

sinuses (and upset my stomach a bit). Same for my husband and mentally

sharpened us both up. But I think I could only tell about the mental

sharpness because we were talking to each other. Heating season is

rough on the sinuses. I'm using one of those nasal spray bottles where

you press down on both sides with your first two fingers and support the

bottom with your thumb. Seems to work better than the squeeze bottles.

I picked the Source Naturals B12 because it had both the methyl and the

adenosyl, which is supposed to be active in the brain. It's a 5mg

tablet and I think I ground up about 3-5 and put it in about half a shot

glass of water, let it sit for half a day, mix it again, let it settle

and decant. And then just dose it by how you feel, which can be a bit

subtle but should be fairly immediate. Sure beat having to find a

compliant doc, getting a prescription, sending off to a compounding

pharmacy and paying a lot of money all around.

Gluten free is a bit inconvenient but weeds out nearly all prepackaged

and prepared foods which has been good for us in the long run. I have a

Japanese rice cooker and use only arborio (Italian) rice which,so far,

is the only rice not regularly contaminated with wheat flour. In the

winter I make soups and stews in a large pot and we may eat that over a

bit of rice for a few days. In the summer we trade off with salads. I

found European and Asian markets and try stuff. And we mostly skip the

" gluten free " stuff. There's a good pasta from Whole foods, Ryeless Rye

bread and some frozen vegetables, and chicken sausage from Trader Joe's

when I get lazy but otherwise vegetables, curries, soups, stews, that

sort of thing. I found an oatmeal not contaminated with wheat. Good

salsas, but corn chips that aren't poisonous are a bit hard to come by.

I like the cookbook Nourishing Traditions mostly for it's focus on

getting nourishment out of food. People used to really work their food

for nutrition value in the dim past. Sea salt to replace the commercial

salt and the seaweeds in soups and stews and ground up on other foods

are good for adding iodine.

It's kind of an interesting adventure that was forced on us but I'm glad

now.

For breakfast my husband had oatmeal with ground flax seed and inulin,

lecithin granules, whipping cream (without carrageenan) and some

blueberries, a bit of ultra brown sugar from some Asian market, and on

the side some baby carrots and grape tomatoes, a bit of cottage cheese

and two slices of hard salami. Lunch would be similar replacing the

oatmeal with some sort of soup. Dinner could be anything. We don't do

canola or soybean oil, that weeds out lots of junk foods, or high

fructose corn syrup, carrageenan or msg-like stuff. Made me crazy

trying to find a jar of commercial spaghetti sauce not made with soybean

oil.

It seems like gluten is gluten but milk products are all over the

place. We're mostly ok with cheese, cottage cheese, some whipping

creams, Irish butter, one brand of ice cream in a few flavors. It's

totally individual what your body likes and tolerates. No real rules.

Different brands of the same kind of food can be entirely different.

Don't rule out a food because one brand makes you sick.

I was raised by my grandfather who was nearly 70 when I was born and was

from Sweden near the arctic circle. He was always doing crazy stuff

like this to agressively maintain his health and I got to see what age

90 could look like. He still had a job at 85 and could haul those heavy

reel lawn mowers down and back up our basement stairs after sharpening

the blades. He even had one of the original Dinseh(?) colored lamps. I

don't think I tasted white bread until I was about 12.

I'm now having fun making my way through the Schulze videos on

youtube and googlevideo and my kitchen floor is littered with bags of

cayenne and horseradish and bottles of strange, greenish stuff out of

the blender. Now, that man really is crazy.

Wow, one of Dinshah's original light boxes. Too bad you don't have that

yourself. I've gotten great health benefits out of the Spectro-Chrome

method. The nasal B12 is interesting. Thanks.
