Re: cfs/leaky gut study, supplements, alkalizing etc.

Multi, there are immunoglubulins in undenatured whey as well, so many

people are benefitting from the treatment without taking the Ig

separately The whey works for fatigue as well.

Hi Vicky,

I've had cfs for 17 years, since getting glandular fever. Had

different antibiotic courses over time, read about candida in 1996

(Leon Chaitow book) and it seemed everything to boil down to it. In

1997 found a great nutritionist who could see candida,

mineral/vitamin deficiencies and intolerances with a vega test

machine. On her anti-candida strict diet + supplementary regime I had

an almost total remission of symptoms for 2 years. Then I lapsed on

diet, overdid things, she moved abroad and could not find anybody

similar using her diagnostic/treating method. On re-introducing all

foods I've put on a lot of weight (which i had lost no effort on the

diet). Then explored the heavy metal issue and through a hair found I

have chronic mercury poisoning (removed my silver fillings) and

almost all people with Hg have candida overgrowth: apparently it acts

as some kind of shield between mercury and the fatty linings of the

intestines (Hg has an affinity for fat). So I'm detoxing from Hg now,

which brings on more candida due to the moving around of the metal

(increased oxidation) . I'm currently taking Candex, Culturelle and

another probiotic (50 billions live cells), but not so strict on diet

as very apathetic atm. I'm new to group, so sorry if the topic has

been discussed before. Most people with cfs have viral issues too

(like myself) probably due to inhibited/overactive immune system,

some have fibromialgia with it or other. Best wishes,

Barbara

Hi and thank you for all the information. I'm have fibromyalgia and

psoriatic arthritis and have suffered from candida. I have a number

of food sensitivities as well. Too much to list, truthfully. At

times I lose my happy outlook but I have learned to live with it all.

Nonetheless I have decided to try and figure out what I can do to

improve my daily life.

I believe my " journey " started a lonnnnng time ago when I was five

years old and had a terrible ear infection in both ears for quite a

while. The doctor ended up telling my mother that he " could not in

good conscience prescribe anymore antibiotics " , that my body would

simply have to fight the infection itself. My mother said one night

she rocked me literally all night long while I cried and screamed and

suffered while the infection burst in both ears.

Following that I spent several years living overseas and had about a

three year period where I was prescribed several rounds of

antiobiotics for strep throat. I just couldn't keep the bugs away.

I understand birth control pills also help create the environment for

candida to get out of control. I took those for about five years and

had to go off them.

I'm presently looking into alkalinizing my life. I have bought some

barley grass, alkalinizing drops for water and since I cannot tolerate

NSIDs, I am trying an online non-prescription anti-inflammtory.

I dearly do not want to take humira (for the psoriatic arthritis), as

the doc recommended, but might cave into it pretty soon.

I'd like to try the Braggs Vinegar recipe you mentioned but I have

Braggs and found out that one of my food sensitivities is to apples!

*sigh* Nonetheless, thanks for mentioning it. A nurse friend of

mine believes all our health issues begin in the gut and that once we

get that fixed that many of the food sensitivities we have will go

away as well. She is the person that started me seriously thinking

about having a more alkaline body.

Just squeezing a fresh lemon into water will also have an alkalizing

effect. Cheap and easy!

I think that depends on the price of lemons, LOL. They are NOT cheap here!

The body maintains a very tight control on blood pH within a very narrow range

through homeostasis. If your blood pH changes to something outside that range,

you are dead. Anyone who talks about acidic/alkaline blood pH has not studied

physiology or has gotten some wrong information.

That being said, I agree with Duncan that using whole lemons in moderation is

OK, or juicing in such a way that you get a lot of pulp.

beware on the cranberries and lemons. both are quite acidic (which is why they

can be eating on candida diet) but if you have problems w/ acid reflux...watch

out. go it slow.. i had major problems w/ both. maybe once the candida is

cleared up then the acid reflux will get better two- or maybe they are two

different issues.but either way keep that in mind.
