Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hi Milena Years ago I found I was reacting to homemade chocolate chip cookies. It was either the shortening or the wheat used that was setting me off. Everyday usually mid afternoon the dreadful mood would seep into my consciousness and it would be all I could think about. This lasted for a couple monthes at least. At the back of my mind I didn't want to end it. I had always thought that if you change your situation then things will get better. It is better to run away somewhere and see if things change I thought. Things were going okay for me so why the incessant need to pull the plug...and it was a severe need to do this...probably like what you are going through right now. Anyway I read a book discussing brain allergy symptoms linked to certain foods we eat. So I stopped eating these cookies and a few other things and viola the issues started lifting even the depression that I was feeling at the time. The main foods to beware of are wheat and other gluten grained foods, chocolate, milk products (even a quarter ounce cream in your coffea), corn. There are quite a number of others from peanuts to certain vegetables for some people. I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yes. It's important to remember that the feeling is not real and just a trick of your brain chemistry. I would suggest you read Ross's books, The Diet Cure and The Mood Cure and have your boyfriend read An Alternative Approach to Allergies which explains and gives case studies of this. You should be able to figure out how to fix this issue with amino acids but obviously avoiding the substance is important too. EFT can really help with this. A good liver cleanse also since our emotions are stored there. Sorry I'm in a bit of a hurry this morning but didn't want to forget to post. If you need some resources I can get you some tomorrow. BTW, birth control pills can cause this too. Sharon > > I agree with WIL! EVEN if it is to " test and spit out, " the amount recommended > >by MMGM to play with of the MMS seems EXTREME!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Willem, Wow, it's so nice to hear I am not alone. I know what you are talking about.......Dr. refers to this as a cerebral allergy. Very common if you are also suffering from adrenal fatigue, which I am. I have stopped eating sugar, milk (accept for kefir and greek yogurt), soy, gluten, corn, nuts, etc. I do not mix my proteins with carbohydrates because I know that they are processed at different rates which causes fermentation in the body, thus feeding the candida. I have only found 1 restaurant so far where I can eat without breaking out in hives or becoming agitated, socially uncomfortable and depressed. I never know when something will make me feel bad. In addition, my outdoor allergies affect my mood so badly that I don't want to go outside. I get VERY anxious and uncomfortable around other people. It's just overwhelming. I'd like to hear what you have been going through and what's working. Thank you for taking the time to respond. It's great knowing there are people out there that understand. I don't personally know anyone going thru what I do and it's hard when people look at you like your crazy.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hi Milena, You've touched on a number of topics. I can relate to the social discomforts you mentioned. Part of the problem for me in this area has been greatly lessened by drinking more water. Without going too much into psychic phenomenon as it isn't really the place for this forum, I am quite empathic feeling the emotions of other people. When I'm around other people, especially groups and crowds I seem to channel a lot more energy through me and find I get very uncomfortable until I down a lot of water. The water helps ground the body energetically. If you look into the 'water cure' this may be helpful. Initially the water cure involves supplementing with a little sea salt to help draw water into the cells. In a nutshell I can describe what I've learned with my candida-digestive issue: My main issues began after an MMR vaccination. In the early nineties mercury preservative was still being used as a preservative and caused a lot of problems for people especially children. For me I had to stop eating meat as my abdomen would bloat like a soccer ball and I developed extreme brain allergies to wheat and milk products. Many years were wasted trying to figure out a diet that works for me. From a science perspective mercury kills bacteria hence the preservative use. After a vaccination or inhaling the vapour from a broken thermometer, etc the liver will dump the mercury into the intestines. Mercury will kill a lot of the beneficial bacteria but surprisingly the candida albicans absorbs mercury according to research. Research has also shown that white blood cells will bypass candida with mercury in it. The environment is now set for flourishing candida and the irritating toxins they produce. I wont go into the chelation process in this post but I can ad this if people are interested. By far the most beneficial thing I've been doing is having stir fries. Each dish is at least 50% veggies usually about 70%. with rice, rice noodles, millet or even just corn chips. The high veggie content is easily digested by the body beating the candida as well as my body benefits from all the vitamins and minerals.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Willem, you are right on with this. Please note that fluoride binds all toxins and metals to the body, making it hard to chelate. So I will add to what you said...to drink and use only purified non-fluoridated water and keep all fluoride out of the body. This means no fluoride toothpaste, nor fluoride medications. Mercury binds with fluoride and is stored wherever there is calcium. After getting rid of fluoride I felt A LOT better. Slowly I am recovering from toxic affects of poisons and toxins that fluoride kept in my body. > > Hi Milena, > > You've touched on a number of topics. > > I can relate to the social discomforts you mentioned.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Like Milena, i get tyeh same thing... social fears, mostly unfounded, and physical discomfort, i think im allergic to gluten but the celiac test came back negative... i have been wondering about candida for a long time, and i d like to re start the anti candida diet but feel like i need a refresher course in what to eat and how to stay on top of the cooking as i cook for me and my kid, who is ten, and a Mum who gets diverticulitis and has watermelon stomach. She eats what she likes and no amount of saying, hey, you get this and that and the other thing and they are ALL related to a bad diet of white flour.. gluten and candida. She doesnt want to change and my kids dad is often here and they all pressure me to eat the usual deal with protein and veges and heavy carbs etc. its frustrating cos my health is suffering for it. I have been avoiding gluten and usually that results in an almost fart free me but right now, it seems like hell is in my bowels! I dont like the way ppl look at me when i try to explain that gluten hurts me and ppl i my family act like i am being trying if i dont want to eat what they want to.. and its fukunstrating cos i often WANT TO eat what they are having, and if i cave in and do that, i feel terrible and pick my face a lot. I also get inflamed skin on my face and all the areas where i have picked look heaps worse.. so i get depressed and dont want to go out. I also went very depressive and agro for a while there and alienated all my friends.. fair weather friends its true, but I foudn that i became sick to death of all their bull, the one sided ness ofthings and ppl acting like i could be treated as a second classs friend by a groups that is very cliquey and now i dont have hardly anyone to talk to... but in some ways its better than spending time wieth ppl who think its okay to abuse me n various ways. I feel like im starting over but i would love some tips about how to get my family to realize that my diet is an important part of helping myself emotionally get motivated for making a new start on my career.. i feel like im fighting an uphill battle.

I presently enjoy well water in the country but when I visit friends in the city I'm disgusted by the water there. My body is likely warning me to not drink it as your post is suggesting. It's hard suggesting the water cure to people when it tastes so terrible. > > Willem, you are right on with this.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Do not buy ANY flavored yogurt. Most have aspartame on the label and is hidden under " natural flaorings " . If you are lactose intolerant, whole Foods sells a cultured coconut milk without ANY sugar.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 That type of depression is called Passive Suicidal Ideation. Not well known or talked about either. I am a social worker and didn't find out about it until I suffered severe depression after losing my fiancee to cancer, 3 months before we were supposed to get married. I was 53 at the time and had never been married, so it was a HUGE loss. When I found out there was a name for it, I calmed down a lot and started working through the feelings. Then, I found LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) and it has helped me a lot too! It is not a cure and isn't without some adjustments. Including diet change, which is advocated when you have Candida anyway, but it has helped me a lot. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I felt like that after Christmas when I got a 24 flu which lasted 2 weeks!  It didn't help that I broke all the dietary rules.  I get off balance easily & I wasn't taking my vitamins.  I'm doing an elimination diet now.  I feel really good if I just eat vegetables & brown rice & lean meat.  No fruit for 3 weeks.  I could get used to feeling so good!

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hello grace, I heard about this before. What kind of doctor do you see to get it and what exactly were the changes you experienced ? ________________________________ From: tobdncng <tobdncng@...> solarplanet75@...; candida Group <candidiasis > Sent: Tue, April 26, 2011 1:25:06 PM Subject: Re: Extreme reactions -- suicidal  That type of depression is called Passive Suicidal Ideation. Not well known or talked about either. I am a social worker and didn't find out about it until I suffered severe depression after losing my fiancee to cancer, 3 months before we were supposed to get married. I was 53 at the time and had never been married, so it was a HUGE loss. When I found out there was a name for it, I calmed down a lot and started working through the feelings. Then, I found LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) and it has helped me a lot too! It is not a cure and isn't without some adjustments. Including diet change, which is advocated when you have Candida anyway, but it has helped me a lot. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Thank you VERY much. Willem. I'm not sure about this. There is nothing going on in my life, aside from these reactions, that is upsetting to me. I have a wonderful and supportive family and boyfriend. I have a good and stable job. I just seem to have reactions to foods/environment. I'm going to start to see a therapist that deals mostly with how to handle stress too. You are very kind to offer an ear and suggestions:-) ________________________________ From: etherial <solarplanet75@...> candidiasis Sent: Tue, April 26, 2011 6:08:16 PM Subject: Re: Extreme reactions -- suicidal  Milena This reaction you are having may not just be brain allergy - food related.

I know what you are talking about.......Dr. refers to this as a cerebral allergy. Very common if you are also suffering from adrenal fatigue, which I am. I have stopped eating sugar, milk (accept for kefir and greek yogurt), soy, gluten, corn, nuts, etc. I do not mix my proteins with carbohydrates because I know that they are processed at different rates which causes fermentation in the body, thus feeding the candida. I have only found 1 restaurant so far where I can eat without breaking out in hives or becoming agitated, socially uncomfortable and depressed. I never know when something will make me feel bad. In addition, my outdoor allergies affect my mood so badly that I don't want to go outside. I get VERY anxious and uncomfortable around other people. It's just overwhelming. I'd like to hear what you have been going through and what's working. Thank you for taking the time to respond. It's great knowing there are people out there that understand.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Such a lot of great info. Thank you.  I do have to increase my water intake. My main problem right now is that the lithium I take is acting as a diuretic so I am pretty much dehydrated. Water goes straight through me. I do take sea salt throughout the day, to no avail. Any suggestions? ________________________________ From: willem <solarplanet75@...> candidiasis Sent: Sun, April 24, 2011 11:22:55 AM Subject: Re: Extreme reactions -- suicidal  Hi Milena, You've touched on a number of topics. I can relate to the social discomforts you mentioned. Part of the problem for me in this area has been greatly lessened by drinking more water. Without going too much into psychic phenomenon as it isn't really the place for this forum, I am quite empathic feeling the emotions of other people. When I'm around other people, especially groups and crowds I seem to channel a lot more energy through me and find I get very uncomfortable until I down a lot of water. The water helps ground the body energetically. If you look into the 'water cure' this may be helpful. Initially the water cure involves supplementing with a little sea salt to help draw water into the cells. In a nutshell I can describe what I've learned with my candida-digestive issue: My main issues began after an MMR vaccination. In the early nineties mercury preservative was still being used as a preservative and caused a lot of problems for people especially children. For me I had to stop eating meat as my abdomen would bloat like a soccer ball and I developed extreme brain allergies to wheat and milk products. Many years were wasted trying to figure out a diet that works for me. From a science perspective mercury kills bacteria hence the preservative use. After a vaccination or inhaling the vapour from a broken thermometer, etc the liver will dump the mercury into the intestines. Mercury will kill a lot of the beneficial bacteria but surprisingly the candida albicans absorbs mercury according to research. Research has also shown that white blood cells will bypass candida with mercury in it. The environment is now set for flourishing candida and the irritating toxins they produce. I wont go into the chelation process in this post but I can ad this if people are interested. By far the most beneficial thing I've been doing is having stir fries. Each dish is at least 50% veggies usually about 70%. with rice, rice noodles, millet or even just corn chips. The high veggie content is easily digested by the body beating the candida as well as my body benefits from all the vitamins and minerals.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Jill, I understand EXACTLY how you feel. I anguished over the looks I get from people and the judgments. I have found that I have to put my health first. I have stopped talking to any friends that I feel are not supportive. One girl would always call me " bubble girl " as a joke about my not being able to eat a lot of different foods, etc. and always being sick. If there are people that you just cannot walk away from -- husband, family members -- try to give them some information that explains in better detail and tell them you are doing this so that you are healthy enough to be the best wife, mother, daughter.... Go see a therapist that can help you reframe things so that you don't feel like such a victim. Because that's what I feel like at times. There's a book called " 29 Gifts " that has really helped. IT's about a woman that finds out that she has MS within 1 month of her wedding and she's just 31 years old. It helps you to stop focusing on yourself and your health issues so that you can see you have a lot to offer. By getting outside of yourself, you end up feeling much better. I hope this helps. I'm in this struggle with you. Yes Jill.....there are people out there that are going through the same stuff and feel the same way. We will help you through to the other side.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I went into in-patient treatment. Then, was put in out patient at Loma University Behavioral Medicine Center in Loma CA. They have a great leader there and she uses the book Feeling Good. Lots of great exercises in the book that helped too. If I could afford it, I would go again. The other thing I would like to try is an 8 week meditation course in San Diego, based on the book Full Catastrophe Living by Kabat-Zinn. Not sure on the last name, but it is a great book. They have been doing this for a long time now and the program has been replicated in a lot of places, with excellent results. I would go to work on getting rid of my chronic pain. And so that I could be calmer. I am stressed a lot of the time. Money worries due to being on disability and health issues, plus other personal stuff. My long term goal is to get off the antidepressants because I think they are part of the problem for me. Have to stay alive in the process though. Anyway, I hope that helps.
