Hi

Take a look at the cleanses on the site. You will be

amazed at the rubbish that will pass, from mucoid

plaque, threads of candida and may be parasites.

Hello all,

First of all, I'm so glad I found this

group! I've been

having Candida problems for a while now. I

permanently live with the

worst sinus problems, as well as several other

symptoms.

I started taking about 12 billion friendly

bacteria a day,

along with a strong dose of Pau D'arco. I wouldn't

say that I've

gotten miraculously better, maybe just slightly

better.

I've only been taking this for about a month

and a half. But

I don't know whether the reason why this hasn't gotten

significantly

better is because I'm not taking enough friendly

bacteria, or because

a month and a half isn't long enough, or because

taking Pau D'arco at

the same time is killing the friendly bacteria that

I'm taking.

Is it counterproductive to take both of them at

the same

time?

In addition, one of those things is making

constipated, so I'm

starting to wonder whether it's actually doing me any

good.

Any advice? I'm noticing that my mood is

really starting to

go down the drain. It's hard to be happy when I'm

feeling so sick

and unhealthy all the time no matter what I do.

Thanks!

[Guest guest]

Thank you very much for all the advice! I will start the cleanses

tomorrow.

Is it productive to take Pau D'arco along with the probiotics? Or am

I just killing the probiotics that I'm taking?

On another note, I've heard that constipation may be part of the die

off effect, so I don't know whether the constipation means that I'm

getting better or worse...

It's also really difficult to not eat all the stuff that feeds

candida. It almost seems like candida is fed by most foods! I can

stay off the sugar, but not eating organges, bread, pasta, wheat, or

rice ever is proving to be quite a challenge.

Pau d Arco is bark from a South American tree. In addition to having

antifungal properties, it's good for your liver and I believe cancer.

When I get back home I'll reference my book and let you know. Any

Health food store should have it. I buy mine in bulk from

www.mountainroseherbs.com

Regular every day coffee has chemicals in it that can damage your

liver. Organic coffee in the stores near me goes for around $8 for 12

ounces as compared to $6 per pound from him. His enema bags are

resonable too.

> Hi Rick,

> What is Pau d Arco and where can you find it? What does it do?

I've heard of coffee enemas. , with the systemic candidia, told

me she has done coffee enemas before. The site link you sent stated

that regular every day coffee would not be effective. Is that trur or

just hype?

How are the liver cleanses beneficial to people with candida? I

thought that they were mainly for people with kidney stones.

Hi - I'll step in here until weighs in.

In very simplistic terms.....

There is a school of thought that says that the reason Candida gets out of

control in our system is that that the digestive system is out of whack -

not enough bile to digest food properly. Undigested food leaks into the

blood stream and makes us feel very sick. Candida, then, proliferates to

help with digestion on some level (although is comes with its own set of

problems too - mainly excreting its own toxins)

The reason that digestion is so poor is that the liver is congested and is

unable to deliver sufficient bile (so necessary for proper digestion) to the

digestive tract.

In the course of a lifetime - especially in this day and age of high

pollutants everywhere (in our food, in the air, etc), the liver develops

" stones " and " chaff " . Think of the liver as a big seive - most everything

that goes into our body is filtered through the liver. Often the liver, not

knowing how to handle a certain toxin, will simply surround it with

secretions and retain it. Over time, the many ducts in the liver get

congested with these toxins and the flow of bile gets greatly lessened.

Therefore, in order to get the bile flowing and get the junk out, liver

flushes are recommended.

All systems in our body are connected. If one system is not working

properly, it will affect the others. So it is with the liver and the

digestive tract.

Theory is, get your liver clean, bile flowing and then your digestion will

improve and there will be no need for the Candida to hang around. (BTW,

following a Candida diet certainly works - I followed one religiously for

almost a year - but if you stray from the path, you're right back where you

started. So, unless you want to watch every morsel you eat for the rest of

your life..........!!)

I would suggest that you go to www.curezone.com and read as much as you can

on the different body cleanses. There is SO much valuable information

there. I know when I first heard about the concept of liver flushing about

a year ago, I was rather aghast at the whole thing. And it took me more

than 6 months to get up the nerve to do one. My Candida has not yet cleared

up (I only started the liver flushes in September) but I can tell you that

with every flush I feel better and better.

So do as much research as you can (I suggest you also read " The Key to

Health and Rejuvenation " by A. Moritz) And good luck to you in your quest

for good health. - p

Hi - I looked up Pau D'Carco in " The Key to Health and Rejuvenation " . It is

also known as Lapacho or Taheebo or Ipe Roxa. Here are some excerpts from

the book....

The ancient Incas used the bark of the Lapacho colorado tree - which grows

in the warmer climes of S. America - to treat various forms of cancer.

The active ingrediant is lapachol and the herbal remedy is valued for its

ability to strengthen and balance the body's immune system.

" Lapacho is used in the alternative treatment of cancer, AIDS, and Candida

albicans overgrowth and fungal problems as well as other diseases of the

immune system. Moreover, lapacho is highly valued for its ability to

detoxify the body, particulary the liver, kidneys and intestinal

tract..............it helps to reduce counter-reactions to antibiotics,

allowing other medicines to work effectively in reducing the danger of toxic

effects upon the liver. In other words, it can be used with other medicines

and minimize their side effects "

Hope this helps - p

[Guest guest]

abebuia impetiginosa (a.k.a T. avellanedae) is tree species in the family

Bignoniaceae (catalpa family) native to rainforests throughout Central and South

America. Mainly exported from Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, its common names

include lapacho, pau d'arco, taheebo, and ipe roxo.

Popular reports indicate that the bark of this tree and of several other related

members of Tabebuia and Tecoma curialis are used in Central and South American

folk medicine to make a tea that is used to treat a wide range of maladies, from

arthritis to ulcers to diabetes to cancer. As a result, many herb companies and

health food stores in the U.S. are vigorously promoting lapacho teas as a

virtual cure-all.

Medical researchers have indeed found that some compounds in the wood of this

tree, mainly Beta-lapachone and lapachol, have anticancer properties. However,

these compounds are also highly toxic (causing side effects such as severe

nausea and anemia), and thus far have not proven their worth as a valid cancer

treatment.

Therefore, I strongly discourage cancer patients from attempting to treat

themselves with lapacho. While it may be that teas made from this plant are

genuinely useful to treat less serious ailments, none of the health claims made

by herb companies have been backed up in controlled scientific studies. It's

entirely possible that the teas offer nothing more than a placebo effect and are

just a waste of money. If the teas do contain significant quantities of the

anticancer compounds, they could very well cause some nasty side effects.

I've been taking Pau D'arco for about a month and a half, and I have felt no

side effects. Although I'm taking it to treat Candida, not for any cancer

related issue.

It's supposed to be a good anti-fungal. I can't say that in my case I've found

a miracle drug for candida just yet, but many people swear by it as a treatment

for candida. I'm sticking by it for a while to see what happens.

I'll let you all know how it works out.

I would take Pau D'arco separately from the

probiotics.

I was very constipated when I started taking ThreeLac,

the company said that this would be a symptom of die

off.

The more flushes you do you will find you will be able

to eat the offending foods.

Hi Liane,

Look at some of the info at http://www.pau-d-arco.com .

As long as it came from the inner bark of the taheebo (Tabebuia

Impetiginosa or Tabebuia Avellanedae) tree it should be OK.

I like to make it three quarts at a time because three 8-oz glasses of it

a day lasts 4 days. According to the directions I have, 1/2 cup plus one

tablespoon of the tea will make 3 quarts. I simmer it in a stainless

steel stock pot for 20-30 minutes. I store it in the refrigerator in a

glass gallon sun tea jar after letting it cool and straining it through a

piece of linen cloth.

HI PAM,

Whoops- excuse capital lock!

I've used Pau d'arco as a tea for candida and immune building, but

I've not used it intensively.

As a tea it is rather delicious, a pleasant, woody taste. I have not

noticed any side effect. If you have a bad yeast problem, perhaps you

could get die-off symptoms used at high dosage,

Not tried Pau d'Arco but I have heard good things about it. I think it

helps with detoxing and cell respiration.

I have always heard that the best way to make Pau d'Arco tea is to use the whole

bark, not

any powder and absolutely not a tea bag. Then you simmer the bark for 25

minutes. There

is a purple bark and a brown bark. The brown bark is what I was told to use for

medicinal

teas. I have heard the same for other teas, that the taste is better if you

don't powder it. I

can't seem to remember why this would be though.

Hi Jeanne. Coarse bark is best, and yes you do strain it.

[Guest guest]

The taste is definitely better from the bark than the tea bags, I

think - absolutely no comparison!

It's best if you simmer it, also. This has become one of my favorite

teas.
