Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hello I really appreciate this website and look forward to communicating with everyone. I have been sick with something for approx 8 or more years. I was diagnosed with CFS in 97. The doctor said I had chronic EBV and their wasn't really anything I could do about it. I thought about the candida theory because of antibiotics for acne as a teen and various other illnesses. I have communicated with different people regarding my health issues and of course so many people are on a differnent page when it comes to the chicken or the egg. I have been told that CANDIDA while may cause some discomfort will not make me this sick i,e. disabled and home bound. I have been told that Cell Wall Deficient(CWD) bacteria disrupts our immune system getting inside the white blood cells paralyzing them thus causing immune dysfunction leading to all these other problems like Candida and all the viruses. I have been told that 90% or more with CFS test positive for Lyme disease and that CFS is really just Lyme disease. I have been told that Chlamydia Pneumonia is the cause of CFS and candida is just a co-infection. I just remeber when I first became really ill my mouth was soooo dry and coated with what appeared to be yeast on my tounge. It all seemed to go downhill from there. Antibiotics helped with some symptoms but I'm so confused and don't want to continue if I'm going to really mess myself up more than I am just to try an empiracle regimen of antibiotics. I wish that I could find some natural antibiotics that target these things with out disrupting my immuune system and guy flora. I feel my immune system is being depressed further by being on them but the scare tactis seem to be in full force. Lyme and Candida are so similar on the questionaire that it really frustrates me not to mention the false positive or negative theory behind Lyme testing. The worst part is, I test negative on everything except for EBV and Lyme was a maybe with some bands positive but not CDC positive. That's a whole different story. How did you guys know this was the proper path to take? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 All of that sounds very similar to what I and i'm sure many others have been convinced of by doctors over the years. In my opinion, doctors condemn many people to lifetimes of chronic illness because they are unable to think outside of their medical model and consider alternative, natural therapies that work, despite the abundant empirical evidence for them. Because of the unfortunate reputation many natural therapies get, this is often a last resort for many people. It should be the first line of treatment in my opinion, but then that does away with the cashed-up pharmaceutical companies who provide our doctors with so many nice things. If in 8 years the doctors haven't got you any better, what have you got to lose? It's time to let go of what all the doctors have fed you about illness, and open your mind to health and healing. If you really do have chronic EBV or Lyme Disease, antibiotics will not help you because they are viral, not bacterial, infections. This program is probably the only solution for such illnesses. For the first time in years, i'm starting to feel well again after an episode of chronic fatigue and many years of low energy and poor immune system functioning and related problems. This is after a bit over two weeks on the program. Matt > > Hello > > I really appreciate this website and look forward to communicating > with everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi, I read your message, and while I don't have experience with CFS or the other diseases you mentioned, I thought your question 'how do you know this is the path to take' was a really good one.. and it got me thinking it was time for me to formulate an answer to this... In July of last summer I had pneumonia bad, had to take strong antibiotics for two weeks, and remember feeling worse than ever afterwards. I was sitting in my doctor's office looking at my check- up xray, and she told me that my lungs were fine, and that my health was better. I told her that actually, I felt a lot worse - sure i'd stopped coughing or having lung pain, but I had all these other symptoms (i made a list): was exhausted, had diarrhea/mucous in my stools, showed her my tongue which was completely covered in white, told her about my sinus problems, lethargy, acne, yeast infections, trouble concentrating, constantly stressed, urinary tract infections, back pain, tingling in the legs/head i felt sometimes, swollen lymph nodes all over, bouts of depression, panic attacks, etc. I explained that some of these symptoms I've had for years, others come and go. She told me I had to just rest and drink lots of water and I'd be fine, she didn't take any of my symptoms seriously (according to her many were either normal or stemming from my own imagination), let alone try to treat them together. needless to say i was devastated, frustrated, i think i actually remember crying in her office. That's when I knew that i was ready to not accept her opinion on my health. I knew there was something wrong with me, an imbalance, and that i wasn't ''imagining'' symptoms - it just couldn't be possible that I felt this bad 'normally'. So, after doing some research on my own I discovered Candida, and in August started going on candida diets - cutting out sugar, grains, sweets, processed foods. About 2 months ago I found bee's group, and began her diet, cutting out additionally seeds, nuts, all grains, soft dairy, and started incorporating the supplements and good fats. I guess I know this was the right thing to do because: 1) I feel better on her diet than I did before I know i still have a ways to go for all my symptoms to dissappear, but so many have started fading -- my sinus problems are practically gone, my energy levels are up to the point where i feel like i can function and handle my life, i'm no longer depressed, my tongue is clearing up daily -- still a bit of white towards the back but the front part is PINK!!! , i don't have halitosis anymore, i have some color in my skin now (not pale and sickly like I was). i don't have randomly tingling skin anymore, sinus headaches brought on by light, sugar cravings, indigestion/bloating. I'm not stressed and all over the place emotionally, and I am remembering how it feels to be positive. 2) I feel 'die-off' on this program Everyone says you feel better before you feel worse, that healing naturally causes healing reactions, and I definitely have had my fair share of hard days and recurring symptoms these last 6 months. It hasn't been easy, and though it seems like feeling worse would not be proof that this program is working - it actually empowers me some. I think to myself: if i've been taking such good care of myself, and eating well and taking all these supplements, then any adverse reactions I feel are part of the process of my recovery. It just doesn't make sense otherwise: sure, if you have too much to drink you have a hangover - sure, if you eat crappy foods your stomach hurts - but if you're taking care of yourself 100% then any symptoms are healing reactions. 3) My symptoms are constantly dissappearing, and reappear only if i 'cheat' I haven't been perfect these last 8 months, but i have been getting better and better every day (even with healing pains). What really reinforces my resolve is that when i have cheated, huge symptoms come back. Like 6 weeks ago when i caved in and ate chocolate, I woke up the next morning with a horrible urinary tract infection -- i hadn't had one in 6 months! This also has made me realize the link between diet and health. In summary, I think this program is a godsend. I wouldn't have it any other way - and I look forward to my own progress everyday, it is quite exciting to see and FEEL such positive results. All signs for me pointed to this program. Bee - if you're reading this - thank you so much for having put all this energy/time into creating and maintaining this group for us. I am so thankful that I found you - I just don't even want to think about what kind of state I'd be in right now if I hadn't followed your expert guidance.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 > How did you guys know this was the proper path to take? > > thanks > This program just made sense whereas some of the things doctors said didn't necessarily and I loved my doctor in Austin. He was very alternative minded and definitely knew about all the problems candida can cause. However, he also believed in food allergies, rotation diets, and avoidance of foods you are intolerant to. That was the only thing that seemed too good to be true on this program - that I could eat healthy things I have a reaction to as long as the reaction is tolerable. Also, with all the stuff I have tried, and I have tired A LOT, I was still sick and getting worse so like Matt said in his post, why not give this a try. It's a healthy way to eat even if you don't have candida overgrowth. I think you will find that you will start to feel better. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" That's why I set up my website and called it " Healing Naturally by Bee " because this program does improve anyone's health, not just those with candida. When the immune system becomes normal (strong enough) it will become capable enough so it will reverse any diseases you listed above, including candida. ==>Viruses, bacteria, candida, etc. cannot just be " killed off " and expect the person not to have further problems. That's why antibiotics don't work. This program treats the cause, not the symptoms or disease itself. It treats the whole body holistically by giving it what it needs to do its job, which is healing and maintaining health. Only the body can heal itself!
