Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi Barb, thanks for your info. I have had every allergy test known to science--both external and food--and some more than once, beginning when I was about 6 years old and ending a few years ago when I threw my hands up in fear and disgust at doctors. So it isn't any thing obvious, and it pretty much has to be something I am getting internally. Perhaps it is some sort of combination of things. I was tested for mold allergy, it was negative. I also ran the mold test on my house, also negative. I am a health 'freak' (or so some of my friends and family think) and don't use any thing but organic / natural cosmetics, soaps and cleaners, etc., and I use olive oil as body lotion. I eat organic food too. My diet is pretty bland. I do use coffee and tea, which I am sure is not good with the caffeine. But I have given them up for months at time and still have the symptoms. In fact, I usually get worse when I try to clean up my diet. (I've been told this is because of toxins being released. ? ) I'm thinking maybe systemic candida is to blame? Or partly? I took the candida spit test and failed. I used to get a lot of vaginal yeast infections in my teens and 20's. I have not had one for many years but perhaps it is systemic now? Any one have a good method for getting rid of yeast? I have heard Nystatin works best and fastest, but have also heard it is very hard on your body. ?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Very strict low carb diet, such as Atkins induction. Actually, diet alone should do it slowly, if the diet is ultra low carb. Plus an antifungal such as Nystatin, is a good idea if the candida is systemic. I actually used Caprylic Acid (derivative of coconut oil) which is said to be as good or almost as good as the Rx antifungals. Eat coconut oil, too. Getting rid of candida can be slow, and it can't really be controlled while it is being fed sugars, fruit, fruit juices, grains, etc. ANY carb or sugar feeds it. Even whole grains which are digested as sugar, and feed the candida. If I was doing it now, I'd also add some other supports, inulin, which feeds the " good " gut bacteria, and a good probiotic containing as many bifidus species as possible. Bifidus are the natural human gut bacteria that we want to encourage. But basically candida cannot be totally eradicated, it is pretty much universal in humans, it is when it gets out of hand it becomes a problem, and the modern high carb diet really encourages it to overgrow and become a toxin. sol scubjay wrote: > I too would like a safe, mild, even SLOW approach to getting rid of > excess yeast. > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
