Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Sierra that is VERY helpful, this morning his pulse was very rapid but not skipping, this afternoon it is skipping, this was after GSE. I haven't felt I've seen much change/die-off with the yeast even with all we are doing, maybe I will try switching, have you tried OLE or any of the other yeast fighters? Have they affected your heartbeat? There is copper in the cal/mag, I will look at this if the GSE doesn't solve the issue, I would think with all the magnesium he needs that I should have at least some Calcium but I could change brands too. I have thought about Mitochondrial issues, he does have balance/coordination/proprioception issues and is quite short for his age (healthy weight though), but he doesn't seem to have issues with fat intake? Thank you so much for giving me a place to start!!! I don't have a DAN, can't afford a DAN doc and am an alt health practitioner so I am trying to do this on my own, but life is ridiculous and Im feeling overwhelmed. I appreciate the input!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 one other thought on the irreg. heartbeats.. i just recently had quite a few for a few days and have an idea of why.. a combo of chocolate (which a new born wouldn't have...) and also sugar. I rarely eat sugar (although I eat a fair amount of carbs..) but sugar puts my own candida OOC... so i do know they can come and go w/ diet..including what you were eating if you were breastfeeding a newborn. (and sugars in the formula..) but the 'cause' can be a lot of things.

Here are a few thoughts based on my experience, which I am still trying to figure out. For me, this issue seems to have something to do with die-off, I notice you are giving lots of yeast fighters, maybe giving too much too fast? Also, GSE is something I react badly too (get racing heartbeat) so I need to use other anti-fungals. Not sure if this is about phenols but don't think so. Just read on NASA site that a link has been found between pollen count and cardiovascular events same as with pulmonary events. I think allergies are a big part of this for me also. Histamine can cause heart issues, so this makes sense to me. Copper can elevate histamine levels. I would only give copper if you have bloodwork showing that your son needs it, otherwise it can cause problems. Electrolytes seem to be a factor in both allergies and other histamine issues, and someone else mentioned some of the supps you listed can affect this. I thought calcium helped this, but could be wrong? Oh, berries cause MAJOR histamine release, so maybe switch to another kind of fish oil? Mito cocktail as described on Dana's view site really helped my heart issues. Maybe some aspect of your son's progress is taxing his mitochondria (such as improved detoxing, etc). Carnitine and CoQ10 are important for heart function, could these be getting used by something else or be being blocked? I see you just added carnitine, maybe that will help. Some of what mB12 does is up glutathione levels, so your son would be detoxing more right now.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Okay (thanks for brainstorming with me) We made a chocolate cake a few weeks back for a birthday and I noticed that night he was way hyper but it was a party and he had lots of foods, so I put in the back of my head, I really should test chocolate some time. He does have balance/coord/proprioceptive issues, in fact this is one of our three major issues we are still working on. He does have excess ear wax and chicken bumps, dry coarse hair, which we thought would just be a lack of EFA's, but maybe it is both a previous lack of + poor obsorption??? We've been supplementing CLO since Sept I think after a year off or so. Sooo, if I gave Betaine HCL (which we have but haven't started), added the mito cocktail, and switched from GSE to something else (what would be the next best antifungal option???) or maybe we don't need to switch the GSE, I am a bit confused on this. I don't see anything that suggest GSE causes irreg hb at least on google. Maybe add coQ10 (actually that might be part of the cocktail, I will check).

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Update: I took his pulse when he got home from school and it was skipping but every 20-30 beats, I gave him 3 drops GSE, 1 Trienza, 1 NoFenol. I checked an hour post and his heart was skipping every 7-9 beats, HUGE difference! I think I am going to switch the GSE to something else and see if his pulse regulates. My theory (at this point, lol) the GSE is making it irreg, it starts to regulate and then I give GSE and it gets worse again. So whats the next best natural antifungal in line to switch to???

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have been thinking this to, that with the die-off producing toxins that get in the blood through the leaky gut plus viral issues increasing that it would be a tremendous strain on the body, perhaps both therapies should always be in conjunction with each other? I started yeast treatments in prep for viral, but maybe there really is a delicate balance. His hb feels great today so I am going to stick with just probiotics and biotin for a day or two until we start his viral therapy (using Virastop) then maybe I will try OoO or garlic or something, the Brainchild Nutritionals rotational treatment looks interesting as well http://www.brainchildnutritionals.com/PDF/Candida.pdf Have you tried other antifungals besides GSE & Silver?
