Re: [NTH-Adrenals]what I did for Candida

[Guest guest]

Pat,

I'd be glad to tell you what I did. First I was on the vaginal cream

(pre diflucan days) for 8 weeks. Then I was put on oral nystatin for

months, I cant remember how many it may have been several years. I

tried the " rainbow diet " but found that to be fairly useless. I did

cut out sugar and if I had known then what I know now, I would have

cut out wheat (I am celiac) I wore only cotton underpants and if I had

to wear hosiery, I cut the crotch out. I boiled my underpants. Sleep

without underpants. And after showering,bathing or swimming I used the

blow dryer to dry off before putting underpants on. This may seem

overly vaginal but that was sort of where I felt alot of this began

and ran amok and when it got out of control, that is where I was the

most uncomfortable. Of course this was 20 years ago back when doctors

wouldn't even talk to you about candida. The only resource I had was a

savior of an osteopath and the book The Yeast Connection. Then once

diflucan came out, I think I took that for about 5 to 7 days. I

believe that is what finally cleared it up, but that was years after I

started. And, finally, I will not accept a prescription for

antibiotics unless absolutely neccessary and then only if I am given a

dose of diflucan with it.

My allergist actually tests for candida on his skin test now. So if

you haven't, you may want to check with your allergist to see what

help they can offer you.

Hope this is helpful, good luck

I forgot to mention that some of the symptoms of Candida are the same

as AF.

Thank you, . I can see why you beat it - you pursued it with a vengeance.

Yes, Dr. Crook was a pioneer when it comes to recognizing and treating yeast. I

think the Nystatin and Diflucan will be valuable to me as the anti-candida diet

will not cut it for me. I've pretty much been on it for several years already.

I know the sinus and ear congestion are fungal- very difficult to get rid of.

You're right, symptoms are similar to AF, and I don't always know which is

which.

Thank's for sharing your experience.

Sincerely,

Pat

Pat,

I would also like to add (because I just remembered) that I also took

lots of Acidopholis and other probiotics to replenish the good flora

that the Nystatin and Diflucan were removing. I also took some

supplements but cant remember for the life of me what they were,

probably in the Yeast Connection Book.

Yeah, I did hit it with a vengeance. You know you have it bad when

your GYN takes a swab and says " Oh my God, look at this " and shows it

to you! It was so bad, he didn't know what it was and tested me for

all kinds of horrible things like syphilis and gonorrhea. It really

freaked me out! As for uncomfortable, there are no words. And that was

just the GYN part!

I'm going to add more probiotics, etc. just to keep down the overgrowth. I'm

sure I probably have " leaky gut syndrome " which has allowed more of the stuff

into my bloodstream to travel to other organs. I'm wondering how many people

have been misdiagnosed with different cancers (prostate, etc.) and other

infections that were really yeast infested? It has been in our family a few

generations, and at age 4l my mother (she's fine now except for yeast) was

diagnosed with cervical cancer. My brother who was diagnosed with prostate

cancer is OK now as well. I seriously doubt that they ever had cancer. Your

doctor of 20 years ago may not have been as uninformed as some of today's

doctors.

Thank's so much,

Pat
