Hi Judith,

I have used Olive Leaf Extract, in addition to other remedies, for

yeast. When on doxycycline, my yeast problems were especially

difficult (I only took OLE at night, well after the antibiotics,

since there has been some suggestion [not documented] that OLE could

interfere with the effectiveness of the antibiotics). Anyway, to get

to my point, the yeast flared up badly after I had stopped taking OLE

for about a week. After taking the OLE again, the yeast got

manageable. However, I have found that OLE by itself isn't really

enough if the diet is too heavy on yeast friendly foods though.

For diet, sometimes I eat a lot of onions, and they are kind of nice

sauted, or steamed with some salt.

When I really want something sweet, I like powdered stevia in my

yoghurt, or in my tea, although it's a sweet taste that some people

don't care for. It helps with the desire for something sweet and it

doesn't seem to be a problem with yeast.

Hope this helps

Laurie, how do you know when you have a yeast problem or when it gets

worse? If it's a female thing, you don't have to go into a lot of

detail. Sugar usually makes me feel worse, but I don't know if

it's a yeast thing or just sugar affecting my immune system.

Hi Mike, Judith,

I'll try, but first, here is a reference that lists some common

symptoms. Rather yucky stuff...

http://www.health-science.com/candida_albicans.htm

" Common symptoms may include some combination of:

Anxiety

Depression

Chronic Fatigue

Irritability

Food Cravings for Sugars, Yeasts, Vinegar, Lactose (dairy)

Hypoglycemia (Candida intercepts vital nutrients in the gut)

Headaches

Joint Pain

Aching Stomach or Intestines

Bloating

Constipation

Diarrhea

Itching rectum

Burning stool

Gas and cramps

Adult onset allergy

Compromised or Weakened Immune System (friendly bacteria are

the " front-line " defense for the human immune system

Delusions, Violent and/or Suicidal Tendencies (advanced stages)

"

Personally, and this is something they don't mention in the list, is

painful cracking at the corners of my mouth. My dentist told me it

was fungal and I tried a creme for it, which worked.

Otherwise, personally, sinus/ear infections which I believe are

fungal in my case, signal a yeast overgrowth for me.

Um....burning stool and itching rectum, gas and gut cramping are part

of my personal experience...

Cravings for carbs - it's like the yeast makes you want them, and

it's a strong craving. Stevia helps with the yearning for something

sweet, but it doesn't satisfy that yeast-generated craving.

I have an assortment of anti-yeast supplements that I keep on hand

and rotate, although when I'm not on antibiotics, I can keep it under

control with a strict diet (sigh), but I can personally attest that

this is difficult and I pay for my lapses in control.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you want a list of what I keep on

hand for yeast control,

Laurie Lassesen

Hello Laurie,

I would appreciate that list you offered on what you have on hand for

yeast control. I would like it if you wrote me direct so I can print it

easily.

My Thanks,

January 27, 2001

,

Could you cc it to the list, cuz I would very much like to have it.

Additionally, I have this question , for you or for anyone.

If rotating yeast treatments (as we've noted , rotation is often needed),

among the yeast remedies you've used and will list have you been able to

develop a sense of which one when, or is it merely rotation.

Also, if you do this list (it's asking a lot and though you offered I

wasn't exactly comfortable asking even though I'd love othe info) might

you indication something about dosage--ranges?

Thanks. And please don't wear yourself out on this.

Though, since I've not been online since early early yesterday and not

thru all the mail, you might have addressed this all on list already.

Thanks.

Judith

New Life has a colostrum with antibodies for candida you might want to

look into.

Cindi

July 12, 2006

Ive been taking it consistently for a week now (started before then

stopped because I left it somewhere), but was actually recommended

it to clear a viral thing that has been hanging around in my body

since I had glandular fever years ago, and secondly to get rid of a

parasite. Hopefully it will help with candida as well, but the real

test for me (as this is my main concern at the moment) is whether I

stop coming down with the awful viral infections Ive been getting

every 1 - 2 months.

Since Ive been taking it my bowel movements have been more regular

and my stools are formed differently, but I haven't noticed anything

unusual come out. My overall feeling of wellbeing seems to be on the

rise, but Im not consistent enough with my diet and supplements to

be sure (yet) that it is the olive leaf. Ill update about it again

in a few weeks! I found this site interesting

I have found Olive Leaf great when I need a natural antibiotic if I take

it at first sign of cold or infection it clears it quickly, it's

something I always keep in supply, I did used to take it consistently

but at present am spending a lot of money on dental work having fillings

replaced so maybe later if I need it, my candida is so so much better

and helped by having fillings replaced. I might not need many

supplements at all soon!

Its not even a whole week since my last post about this but I've

been on olive leaf for 2 weeks now and suddenly my energy is

improving! Traditionally I would go up and down, but I've felt

consistently terrible for the last 4 months with not a single day in

that time of feeling that I have any energy. But in the last week

Ive really started to perk up, and the last few days Ive had periods

of up to 5 hours at a time where I've been bouncing off the walls! I

can't remember the last time I felt like that. In fact, the other

night I was up until 2am because I was buzzing so much I couldn't

sleep, and I wasn't even tired at work the next day. I feel stronger

as well.

I've even been a bit slack with my diet lately, and while I don't

suffer extreme candida symptoms like some, I would expect by now to

be feeling pretty awful and I don't.

I don't know how effective it is on candida, but hopefully its

starting to clear the viral stuff from my system.

I read somewhere that candida takes mercury outof the body. I'm wondering then

if candida overgrowth may be a response to mercury leakage.

Using large doses of olive leaf extract, I got rid of these yeast things with

long arms (someone mentioned it on this site). Then my my mental abilitiy hugely

improved. I had to drop out of a law degree because I became so academically non

functional. I did nursing because it was less demanding. Then I became so bad I

couldn't do anything academic. I used to just wander round university without

getting to class. Then I found a report of what it was. Mecury causes some sort

of mutation of normal yeast. It wasnt until I used the olive leaf at six times

recommended dose for around ten days, that this stuff came out. And each time it

did, I felt as sick as hell two days beforehand.

That sounds both promising and scary! (The sick as hell part). Ive

been feeling a lot better since taking olive leaf but despite lack of

brain fog, lately my concentration has been getting worse. I find it

sooooooo difficult to do my work. In fact, I feel the olive leaf is

making me hyper, its like I have ADHD! Have you Helen, or has anyone

else experienced this?

Thanks,

Take one third of a cup of Aloe Vera juice each day - it takes about 4 days to

feel the difference. If it makes a distinct difference then it's likely you have

a bit of a leaky gut causing the ADHD effect. It's commonly reported that people

think there must be 'an upper' in Olive Leaf Extract. The Aloe Vera jiuice will

seal any leak.
