Guest guest Posted October 2, 1999 Report Share Posted October 2, 1999 Hi, , My thoughts exactly!!! I have an autoimmune disease (which has caused chronic candida, peripheral neuropathy, mild stroke also) and my internist recently told me that just in the last year they have discovered that inflammation causes chronic candida. I know that I have tried EVERYTHING, including the diet, religiously, for over half a year at a time, plus all the herbs ever mentioned for candida, as well as Diflucan and Nystatin, meditation, soul searching, etc. etc. etc. Not a stone left unturned. And none of this has cleared up my problem!!! Now that I have this problem, I find that eating certain things can make it worse (for example, dairy, vinegar, refined sugar), but NOTHING CLEARS IT UP!!! And now I know why! It's because there is an underlying problem with the immune system!! Thanks, , for your thought-provoking post! Love 'ya, Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 1999 Report Share Posted October 2, 1999 Lucy, You're welcome. Get to work on the underlyng problem. The best place to start would be to go to the health food store and get a book on herbs. Make sure it has the warnings in it, because not all herbs are safe for everyone. Then, you can see the herbs your body needs to treat the underlying cause. Also, a herbologist can do this for you. Good luck!!!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 1999 Report Share Posted October 3, 1999 Exactly--if our immune systems work properly, and if our GI tract had the proper balance of good bacteria--candida could not overgrow. But the average person's immune system is 28 to 30% less effective than 20 years ago (proven scientific studies) The foods we eat that are supposed to provide us with phyto nutrients are picked before they are ripe and those nutrients never form in them. We eat food with substance, only calories. Americans consume so much refined sugars, and these become almost toxic anti-nutrients, robbing our body's immune system of effective functioning. Toxins abound in our world, we eat, breathe and drink them everyday. Real--good--food is hard to find, bad food is abundant and easy to get. We are victims of overconsumptive malnutrition --in other words, fat starving people! ---------- From: " Stinnett " <hbbreg@...> <candidiasisonelist> Subject: food for thought Date: Sat, Oct 2, 1999, 7:35 AM I was reading a book yesterday called The Hyperactivity Hoax by Sydney III, M.D. In it, he was discussing the ADD connection with Candida. He pointed out that everyone lives with Candida, so why do some people's body go crazy with it? He says that there is an underlying cause. The causes that he mentions are: immune disorder, a disorder affecting carbohydrate metabolism, overtreatment with antibiotics, use of birth control pills, and abnormalities of the liver, thyroid, or adrenal glands. It makes sense to me that if an underlying problem is causing the Candida, that would be what is making it so hard to clear up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 This is very interesting Amber. I often wonder if the fact that I drank many pints of milk due to extremely severe heartburn during pregnancy was a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 if I had taken let's say ProEFA during my pregnancy and then gave the twins 'Beech-nut " and > ProEFA would it have lessened the degree of their apraxia...is that possible? W/ my 1st child who is a boy and is 4 now I did nothing out of the ordinary and he is so smart (just started reading and has been writing pretty well and has always been ahead in every developmental aspect). My daughter is 2.2 and has apraxia, delayed myelin, GDD, SID issues. I got into all this healthy stuff when I was pregnant w/ her - flax, fish (never even ate fish until I was pregnant w/ her), etc. And I am still breastfeeding and taking fish supplements and flax seed oil. So why is my son so smart and my daughter has so many special needs? Don't beat yourself up! Traci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Now I think there needs to be some clarification as to what , Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah did or did not eat and why. There are 2 viable reasons they refused to eat the kings " meat " . The Hebrew word used in 1:5 is " Pathbag " which translates " meat " , " food " , and " rich food " (such as found at the kings table). So we could be talking about any one of the three meanings for the nourishment in question. Food and rich food are not just meat but all manner of edible goods. To state that they only ate pulse because that was the only " pure " thing he could eat is misleading. You have to understand the history of this period of time. The Israelites were hauled away into captivity by the Babylonians. The first thing any conquering force does with captives is break their will, their allegiance to prior held beliefs. You cannot control people effectively without controlling their minds. Part of what was required was that they dress like Babylonians, worship like Babylonians, and eat like Babylonians. Therefore the first possible reason for refusing to eat the king's food was rebellion to being controlled totally and completely by the Babylonians. Consideration # 2. Short course is that part of Babylonian culture dictated that meat sacrificed to idols was then given to people to eat as a form of worship to their pagan gods. This was considered standard table fare for the ruling houses of Babylonia. Nebuchadnezzar being king had the authority to order everyone within his household to eat what he ate. He was typically served meat selections that came from idol worship. The point here of 's not eating " unclean " food was not that it was meat, but that he would not eat meat taken from idol sacrifice. This was a major affront to the God of Israel. Pulse was a diet of grains used for purification prior to various Jewish rituals. et al.were protesting the eating of sacrificed meats not the eating of meat. There is no reason to believe or even assume that this was a permanent, ongoing thing. There is another consideration that also hides inside this and that is of wines and fermented drinks. It is unknown whether and friends were of the Nazarene sect. If they were, then wine, liquor, even grapes are forbidden by Hebrew law to be consumed. So this too could have a bearing on their rebellion when it came to eating. There is a complete list of foods that can be eaten in Leviticus and a lot of meat sources are perfectly fine to consume. I am not knocking the " maker's diet " in any way. I just think that the reasons they most probably refused to eat from the king's table have absolutely nothing to do with being vegetarian or not eating " rich foods. " . The world at that time was meat eating and has remained such for centuries. What the four of them did was to protest their captivity and protest the eating of meat that was sacrificed to idols which to them was a religious abomination. It was nothing more than that.

Subject: [ ] " Food " for thought From: BiblicalHealthDaily@...(Biblical Health Daily) Food for Thought The Bible tells us: " But made up his mind not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief official for permission to eat other things instead... God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for learning the literature and science of the time. And God gave special ability in understanding the meanings of visions and dreams. " ( 1:8 & ndash;17, NLT) Held in captivity far away from home, and his friends were given the chance to eat the rich food from the king's table but refused, choosing instead to remain spiritually pure by eating only pulse, a mixture of seeds and nuts. Think of the typical America diet, filled with unhealthy processed foods, as a modern-day version of what was on the king's table. understood that the food at the king's feast would taste wonderful, but obeyed a higher plan for both his nutritional and spiritual needs. In turn, he reaped God's rewards. Next time you're faced with the temptation of processed, unhealthy foods, consider how obeyed much more than just his stomach. Jordan's Tip of the Day From the author of The Maker's Diet Tempted? Make a Plan Parties and visits with friends can put all kinds of dietary temptation into your path. For these situations, have a plan in place. Scan the offerings for things you can eat, and stick to them. If you can, eat a small meal before you leave. Then you won't feel the need to load up on unhealthy snacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I've noticed allot of people posting about their pets and the extremes they go to make sure their pets remain healthy. The one thing that I would like to add is give them fresh food and water as often as possible. I feed my dog first thing in the morning with food that's in a sealed bag in the garage where to my knowledge hasn't been contaminated by spores, when shes done eating depending how much is left over I'll either put it in a ziplock and put it in the refrigerator till around lunch time or I'll throw it away repeating the process at dinner. Also, I give her fresh water at least 3 times a day thoroughly washing out her bowl every time. They not only breath the same contaminated air were breathing but if their foods left out all day their now eating the same micro organisms that are floating around the air.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Your WBC is an indicator of infection if it is high. Glad it is normal. The RBC's, Hgb and Hct show the anemia. If your WBC doesn't bottom out that is a good thing. So right now, your blood work is on par for where you are in treatment. You are doing fine.Those meds are playing tricks on you aren't they?
