Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I don't know how redundant I am being here and if I am I apologize but in my many years of struggling with this illness I know that killing it in the gut, the intestines is only the beginning. Actually that's the easy part. You then have to approach and attack what you <may or probably> have residing in your muscles, bone marrow, cells, brain, other organs, etc. It is vicious, tenacious and extremely difficult to cure!! And very expensive because if you have an advanced case (that is when it has grown outside the gut) then you have to invest in equipment, like Hulda 's " zapper " or other devices or make your own oxegenized or (I forget the term) another kind of water there is an expensive machine used to make it. That is why I am still struggling with it. I have almost cured it before but when it got so expensive I was getting exasperated and gave up for quite awhile and then it came back with a vengeance worse than ever. So as much as I would like to ignore it---I know it can kill you. There are stories about it attacking people's brains and after an autopsy the brain was found covered with yeast, as well as the heart and other organs. Sorry to get so graphic but this disease sucks and I hate it and so should you---everyone should take it very seriously because believe me--it means business!!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi Diane, You sound angry. I certainly know how it feels and it is very angering to have candida and I used to hate it too. But now I am thankful for what I have learned by having candida. The many life lessons, spiritual journey and never ending health information. It's ironic that us with candida who are ill are actually healthier than most people, if you know what I'm saying. The body is most amazing and is capable of healing itself, we just need to give it a few tools. Holding onto anger and having hate in your mind and body will not allow the body to heal. We should not have to kill candida, the body will be able to change it back into what it should be if we build the immune system and have strong minds. have you heard of emotional freedom technique? this could be helpful in getting rid of your anger towards it. also self hypnosis is good. good luck in getting healthy!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Janet, What you cannot handle are fundamentally aldehydes, as your liver is not making aldehyde oxidase, which is molybdenum dependent. It take s a pretty good diet and intestinal functino to get adequate amts of this mineral. And as a supplement, when is the last time someone told you to use this? Whosoever you are using for advice, if they dont have a strong handle on liver chemistry and physiology, then you are receiving inferior advice. The proof is in the pudding, yes. Now, that geing said, of course it is possible that there are other aromatic compounds which you are also sensitive to. But the point is simple. If you can smell flowers and evergreen trees and what not, then you can handle their oils. Note that all ess oils are not created equally, just like herbal products most asssuredly are not. There is a wide variety of qualities, and the results are substances with altered properties, from what is 'supposed to be'. So, exercise caution, but for your sake, and others, dont write off the entire field of essential oil therapy, as it one of the most powerful on the planet. scott _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Gingersnap1964@...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 from my understanding the solvents used in essential oils are mostly made of wax, resin and other essential oils. some times alcohol is also used, but it is removed during a distillation process. are there other chemical solvents that are used in processing essential oils that could be potentially harmed for people who have chemical sensitivities? what essential oil company makes the highest grade essential oils? thank you.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi Momoko, It is my understanding that chemical intolerance and essential oils do not mix due to the VOC's. However, if the odor disapates quickly and I would not have to be there, maybe I would treat a non-sick home with some as a preventive to airborne illness. Maybe a big maybe, but not to kill mold since dead mold will make you sick too !! Would you like some info on MCS and VOC's from essential oils ??

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 With MCS even natural occurring VOC's will make you ill. Should be avoided. Plants have natural occuring VOC's , that is the problem too. Then natural properties : For example limone from lemon peel is also a pesticide, for MCS'ers not good, cedar, natural pesticides, still are natural, but not good for any MCS'er God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: " momoko_uno@...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I use rosemary oil (pure-no additives at all) to " mask " mold. I do this when I find myself in a place that's suddenly moldy and I have to get out quickly. Even if I do the mold lingers in my nose and the rosemary oil kind of erases it for me. This is simply a panacea-I know there's no " curing " involved here, but if I can sniff on the rosemary oil as soon as possible sometimes my brain doesn't have time to register the mold and I can prevent a migraine.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Wow, that is great that you have that. I sometimes wish I had something nice to smell to mask odors. I would be cognizant of the same thing as you, that it is not a cure, only a panacea, but it would help so much emotionally. Rosemary is an antifungal and you say it can prevent a migraine so it is " doing something " that is good and helpful, and maybe not just a panacea for you after all. ap ---From: surellabaer  I use rosemary oil (pure-no additives at all) to " mask " mold.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have not used the Thieves proprietary blend from Young Living. I do know that it is also a generic name from years ago. The story is interesting: it goes: Century after century, bubonic plague outbreaks decimated the population of Asia and Europe for the better part of a thousand years. Out of this period emerged a legend of four thieves who were captured and charged with robbing the dead and dying victims. When the thieves were tried, the magistrate offered leniency if they would reveal how they resisted contracting the infection as they performed their gruesome acts. They told of a special concoction of aromatic herbs, including garlic, cloves and rosemary, that they rubbed on themselves before committing their crimes. I have personally used tea tree oil, pure 100%. From at least 3 brands. I have also used a blend, similar to Thieves, from Young Living also, called 'MelRose', which has 2 species of tea tree, rosemary, clove. (Thieves has lemon and cinamon too). It helps slow bleeding from small skin wounds. Really amazing how it works. Also helps the initial healing process. Tea tree for healing skin wounds is amazing too. Helps prevent heavy/thick scabbing, then it seems to prevent or lessen the scarring. I had a project where a Young Living oil rep used the melrose on baby wipes to clean all contents of contamination, mold growth and mold debris. If I were to do it again, I'd buy the dry untreated wipes in bulk, and mix my own oil mixture to soak them in. She found it to be an acceptable cleanliness. Otherwise she could not tolerate the unclean items. What do you mean by " chemical free " cleaning product. It's all chemicals. It's the nature of them that matters. I ask clients to tell me what they currently find effective and acceptable.That gives a good idea of what I can recommend. The essential oils I've seen are all 100% oil. They may be extracted with solvents, but that would only leave trace contaminants. I find that most typical cleaners are not as offensive as one would think. They are certainly not as " hazardous " as some websites lead you to believe. Much of the hazard rating info is based on high concentrations (sometimes pure) of the particular ingredient. But the chemical has very low concentration in the final product. So it's back to " the dose makes the poison " .

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just as a precaution you can read from this site has much info on it. We are all different and tolerate different things, I would not like however for anyone's MCS problem to get worse. " ...Agents whose exposures are associated with symptoms and suspected of causing onset of chemical sensitivity with chronic illness include gasoline, kerosene, natural gas, pesticides (especially chlordane and chlorpyrifos), solvents, new carpet and other renovation materials, adhesives/glues, fiberglass, carbonless copy paper, fabric softener, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, carpet shampoos (lauryl sulfate) and other cleaning agents, isocyanates, combustion products (poorly vented gas heaters, overheated batteries), and medications (dinitrochlorobenzene for warts, intranasally packed neosynephrine, prolonged antibiotics, and general anesthesia with petrochemicals). Multiple mechanisms of chemical injury that magnify response to exposures in chemically sensitive patients can include neurogenic inflammation (respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary), kindling and time-dependent sensitization (neurologic), impaired porphyrin metabolism (multiple organs), and immune activation.

I don't buy any so called green cleaners because even those do not always disclose the ingredients on the list, only most of them, since there is No Truth in Labeling they get away with it. I have found that I can breathe 7th generation dish soap unscented but I cannot use it as it burns my hands. What is in that green cleaner I wonder ??
