Major itching? > > Thanks for any ideas/solutions/information. > > TerriLynne ========================== Hi again TerriLynne, How much internal cleansing have you done? Fasting? Dietary changes? There are several essential oils that are very good against candida or any fungal infection externally. They can be used, mixed with a good carrier oil, and massaged into your skin daily. Here are some that are really good for candida: Tea tree, rosemary, myrtle, German Chamomile, lavender, bergamot, lemongrass, melissa, myrrh, petitgrain, thyme and geranium. You might consider douching with a 100gm carton of natural yogurt, thinned with distilled water, with living acidophilus and adding in 5 drops of German chamomile, lavender and tea tree and douching twice a day. You will also want to stay away from any yeast containing foods (vegemite, melons, yeast breads, fermented beverages, mouldy cheeses, fermented vinegars, salad dressings, nuts, biscuits, old cereals, canned citrus juices, cake mixes, hamburgers, ice cream, all dried fruits, oranges, pickles, yeast powders, tomato sauce, sugars, fungi, buttermilk, sour milks, processed and smoked meats, malt products, barbecue sauces, olives, mayo and chillies). Avoid all refined carbohydrates, all known or suspected allergic causing foods and dairy. Do take a clove of garlic a day with a teaspoon of EVOO daily. Take a good probiotic. Eat lots of fresh vegetables and sprouted whole grains. Taking goldenseal or barberry in capsule form will help to control candida in the intestinal tract. Also Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis or S. virgaurea) has saponins that act specifically on Candida. Use it as a tea maybe to wash down the goldenseal/barberry caps with. Maybe the yeast in your ears won't cause any problems but why wait? Best to start eliminating this thing as quickly as possible. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hi Don, Okay, questions: **You might consider douching with a 100gm carton of natural yogurt, thinned with distilled water, with living acidophilus and adding in 5 drops of German chamomile, lavender and tea tree and douching twice a day.** Does a 100gm carton of natural yogurt equal something like an 8-ounce carton? **You will also want to stay away from any yeast containing foods ... vinegars, ... sour milks, ... and chillies).** So would this mean no apple cider vinegar, tinctures, etc.? No yogurt? No cayenne or ground habenero in herbal formulas? **Do take a clove of garlic a day with a teaspoon of EVOO daily.** What is IVOO? The suggested diet pretty much overwhelms me. I don't mind parting with the refined stuff, meats, canned foods, etc. But it basically looks like lots of salads with no dressing (ug) and limited fruits. Is that pretty much the way it is? Thanks much, TerriLynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that pretty much > the way > it is? > > Thanks much, > > TerriLynne ======================= Hi TerriLynne, Drastic? You bet. But so is having Candida overgrowth. 100 gm carton, of yogurt, would probably be about a half cup maybe. As for the ACV, tinctures etc, how much do you use daily? If what you use is very small then try it with them and see how you feel. Yogurt is allowed as long as it has live probiotic organisms within but don't overdo it.. EVOO is Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is radical but you either feed the candida or you starve it to get rid of it. Your choice. You can use a lemon and oil (lemonette dressing?). Hehehe Add in some garlic, rosemary maybe even some thyme or oregano. Necessity is the mother of invention. Or was it mother was the necessity of invention. Hmmm.... Basically, eat all raw. Cleanse. Use the goldenseal/barberry caps and drink some goldenrod tea. Douche when needed and massage your skin daily with some blend of essential oils in a carrier oil or base oil if you prefer to call it that. Cleansing, going all raw, utilizing very good probiotics and prebiotics and adhereing to a very strict non-yeast diet are some of the keys that will help you rid your body of the overgrowth and bring it under control again. You may never totally eradicate candida from your body. I do not know if this is even possible. But you can get it under control again and right now I will tell you before you ask, " IT WILL TAKE AS LONG AS IT TAKES " ! There is no set time period. Rebuild your body girl, treat it like it is God and give it the very best every day and you will reap the rewards from so doing. It will only be difficult and burdensome if that is how you choose to view it. You might also consider fulvic acid and inulin to help rebuild your friendly intestinal bacteria. These are the guys that will keep the candida under control along with the bad bacteria. Peace be with you TerriLynne, and remember that no matter which choice you make it will be the right choice for you right now and we will be here to help you no matter what. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Sounds a LOT like the SCD diet!! Even if you don’t wan to follow that specifically ( it did starve all the yeast in my dd’s system though) check out the sites for really yummy recipes that won’t feed yeast. http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info and http://www.pecanbread.com Also… many of the ladies on the Lichen Sclerosus list use boric acid in gelatin capsules inserted vaginally for yeast and bacterial infections. It also helps to keep the ph in balance. As we age, the vagina becomes more alkaline and even with out an infection, that can burn the outer skin.

That wasn't my point and I guess I should have not even stated that. However, I do agree that the body has to be in balance in all areas and this includes micro-organisms. Now as there is no single person that I am aware of who has a perfectly clean body, then it is probably going to be awhile before we find out the truth to the above. Personally, I am not certain that candida is even necessary in the human body but then again it is going to be some time before I find out the truth of that one. While we adhere to the concept that we need to ingest solid or liquids to survive then we are going to have to put up with micro-organisms both good and bad and I don't know any breatharians personally to talk with. So I am glad you are prepared to be educated otherwise as am I. Peace be with you Nikki. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

However, we aren't dealing with a massage here so I would suggest a 10% dilution of 10 parts of sunflower oil and 1 part of Tea Tree oil. Apply it nightly before bed and in the AM after bathing or showering. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
