Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Dawn, I have heard of kids really getting attached to their band/helmet. There was even a member who had a banded son and the sibling who envied it so much had to have one too (she substituted with a bike helmet). As far as correction goes yes, it is conceivable you could see some changes just after a few days. The head changes every moment in ways we can't even see. Especially an active band that puts gentle pressure to direct growth. That and may have even encountered a healthy growth spurt to top if all off.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I don't know your child's age, but several members have said they saw differences within a week. I doubt it's wishful thinking. Makes you realize why people become so pro-helmet once their baby has had one! My son saw results in 3 weeks, and he was an older baby. He gets his helmet off later today. I really don't know how I am going to deal with it. He fusses every single time I clean it because he wants it back. I clean it while he's in the tub and he knows he doesn't get it in the tub. After that I have to distract him like crazy while he and it both dry! Once he graduates I'm in trouble! I have a bike helmet at the ready.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hello Dawn It is possible to see changes in only a few days. Willow my daughter had a major growth spurt the first wk in her helmet, and we thought we were imagining it as well, but needing an adjustment after a Wk told us we were right.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 It's most definitely possible to see a difference so fast. I posted this very same question 1.5 weeks ago. I noticed such a huge difference in McKenna's head in one week. I even took pictures to see if I was imagining things (They're under the " McKenna " album.) McKenna has been in her helmet for just over 2 weeks and the difference is amazing. I'm not the only one to notice, so I know it isn't in my head. It just reaffirms I did the right thing by putting her in a helmet. Also, McKenna doesn't really feel better with the helmet on (I DO lol cause she's just now cruising) but she doesn't mind it on in the least. Congrats on the great results.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 You are right, Evie. Duncan has never explicity said that inulin is all you need to cure candidiasis, but he has implied it in numerous posts. It's almost as though he doesn't want us to know that there are other ways of recovering from candidiasis other than by using " his " inulin. That is not only my observation, but many others that have privately corresponded with me. In my opinion this is very " FDA-ish, " if you will, and to many, it appears self-serving. He rarely mentions the rest of the protocols needed to beat candida. He also tends to imply that lack of sufficient inulin in the diet is THE cause of GI dysbiosis allowing candida to set in. This is, of course, inaccurate as most of us are here because of antibiotic usage and the detrimental effect it had on our good flora. Antibiotics, stress, and poor diet(too many carbs/sugars and too many acidic foods) are the main causes of candidiasis, not just lack of inulin. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that inulin is a good supplement to introduce in order to feed the flora currently present and allowing it to thrive, but without introducing more good flora through probiotics of one form or another in order to try to " outcompete " the candida as it once did, the remaining surviving good flora will have a snowball's chance in hell of ever taking control of our intestines again as candida already has a foothold and is not going to let go no matter how much inulin you're using, especially if the candida has gone systemic.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Ken- i agree with much of your post, i would add that a clogged up liver (which can result from drugs, antibiotics, diet and/or stress) is for many a huge impediment to recovering from candida overgrowth. flush your liver clean and you have taken a giant step towards rebuilding your digestive strength and recovering. until the liver is clean and working well, relapse is almost inevitable. john g > You are right, Evie.

Ken, Inulin, even native inulin, has stopped antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD). Curing AAD with inulin leads to my view that the AAD would not have arisen in the first place if the inulin had already been in the diet in enough quantity to avoid the dysbiosis. I suggest the good flora population is robust enough to resist stress, and I agree that dietary matters are key. > Don't get me > wrong, I do believe that inulin is a good supplement to introduce in > order to feed the flora currently present and allowing it to thrive, > but without introducing more good flora through probiotics of one form > or another in order to try to " outcompete " the candida as it once did, > the remaining surviving good flora will have a snowball's chance in > hell of ever taking control of our intestines again as candida already > has a foothold and is not going to let go no matter how much inulin > you're using, especially if the candida has gone systemic. Ken It's actually the " thriving " actively fermenting, replicating probiotic populations that outcompete pathogens in the bowel. Nt feeding the probiotic is the reason probiotics only work while you're taking them. In other words, people with a low inulin diet find that when they withdraw the probiotic the symptoms return in a couple of days. Your point about systemic is well taken, but because candida doesn't use inulin to a significant degree, the probiotic organisms in the gut have an excellent chance of using it whether or not you add more probiotic starter culture to the diet. Incidentally, research indicates that a synbiotic might work faster than either prebiotic or probiotic alone, and I agree with that; I just pointed out that using a prbiotic to make a synbiotic adds unnecessary cost to the program. Inulin is cheap for what it does on its own. Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll explain it again -- the long chain inulins appeal to fewer organisms because they don't produce the enzymes to use longer chains. This is in the first few paragraphs of the data you won't read, dude and I keep referring you to -- reading A Comprehensive Scientific Review on my website would do you good. Here's the crucial tidbit: native inulin has a degree of polymerisation of 9 (DP 9); the product I have here is DP 23. This is a big difference to a bacteria that only has enzymes to break the DP of 4 or less. All the retail sources of inulin sell " native " inulin DP 9 but one I know of that sells " sugar-free, FOS free inulin " . I 'm told it's twice the price of my DP 23. Clear as mud ? Please read the data, go away and have a nice life. Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Bill- there really isn't another group. this all goes back, during the past few years the subject of inulin comes up again and again as people move through this group. if you search through the archives its all there. Personally the only inulin i would recommend would come in the form of real whole foods. if you google " inulin foods " you will find a long list of many healthy foods that contain inulin in its natural state balenced together with other vital nutrients. there are other candida forums, a really good one at www.curezone.com, where sales pitches are usually shown the door. g > >> > That 's group of people that he speaks so frequently of had > > very > >> > little success with inulin because they used it as the " cure " and > > not > >> > a part of a whole system, nutritional change?

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Duncan. save your sales pitch. unless inulin is in a food, i'm really not interested. if you were really here to help people, who not post a recommended candida protocal here in the files section or in your web page? or write a book for a reasonable price? why hide the ball? in the past you were foreced to admit that you believe liverflushing very helpful for candida, but admitted that you never mention it because its so well known. well after spending just a few days back here, its obvious that you are not sharing the well know beneficial methods used by people to rid themselves of candida overgrowth again. so how about it... where is your protocal? why insinuate that your products will do the job when you know there are cheaper, better ways to do it, that even you in past were forced to acknowlege. i'm not about to waste my time debating a whose inulin product is superior when there is no proof either way and I disagree with the very idea inulin. if someone wants to buy inulin they are perfectly capable of doing a google search... and in fact, i would recommend it as numerous companies sell it, at a much lower price than you. john g > > ...by the way, your product is no > > appears no different than dozens of others on the market. classic > > salesman's hype to claim otherwise. > > > > g > > G, all the inulins will appear the same to you until you inform > yourself of the difference between " native " and " sugar-free, FOS > free " inulins. > > I'll explain it again -- the long chain inulins appeal to fewer > organisms because they don't produce the enzymes to use longer > chains.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Im sure I already know the answer to the question but out of desperation I had to ask. My girlfriend is buying a house and wants me to move in with her, the problem is when we lived together in my contaminated condo and were forced out she took her clothes back to her old residence and cross contaminated the rest of her belongings. Now that she's sold her house she stored everything in a 16 foot pod. I was thinking/hoping/praying that I could hire a mold remediation company to come in and hepa vacuum and wipe everything down with a germicide. Once they complete the job we plan on putting the few things she owns outside in the sun for a couple of days at which time I would wipe them down again. The only furniture she has to speak of is her bedroom furniture (minus the mattress), she has a chase lounger and a love seat but she plans on giving love seat away. My question is has anyone ever been successful in attempting something of this nature? Im currently taking Duflican ketoconazole and glutathione nasal spray and getting IV's drips that consist of a Myers cocktail, Vitamin C and glutathione. Unfortunately due to cost the IV's will have to be discontinued at the end of April. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I've had some success salvaging some clothes but not many. My GF brings her clothes over in a plastic bag on the day that I do laundry so we can spend the weekend together. Once they're washed and dried I hang them up in the hotel room and fortunately they don't seem to bother me. I agree that this winter has been a brutal one.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Nothing wrong with asking. My attempt was minimal, rather tahn try a lot of things and it did not work.  That was my first exposure.  The second I threw out mostly everything except for a few pieces of clothes that were always disinfected and stored never out in the air. If it sat out I could tell right away and disposed of it. Rather not take chances any more. My first exposure several years.   God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: Tug <tug_slug@...> Sent: Fri, April 2, 2010 1:19:28 PM Subject: [] Re: Is it possible?  I would like to add that my mold exposure lasted 6 weeks and consisted of aspergillus, penicillium and yeast.
