Candida help!

topic posted Fri, August 31, 2007 - 11:25 PM by  offlineWhitness
Hello all

Aria, for a the concentrated mineral electrolye supplements, would you recommend VITAMINERAL GREENS? I have been battling candida for some long time now, and I am also dealing with the brain fog, so I am just trying to get it all figured out here...

I also just did a 7 day fasting cleanse of clay and psyllium, greenlife, vit. c, whole beet plant supplements and wheat germ oil (through VIT-RA-TOX, V.E. Irons, I do recommend) and I had a colonic every day for the 7 days, and 5 days after my cleanse is over, the candida nd inconsistent bowel symptoms are still there! but boy did I sure get out A LOT of mucoid plaque, feet and feet worth. I did a very strict anti-candida diet this past spring and was better, FINALLY, by June but then I enjoyed good foods too soon after, and I totally relapsed. I am so sick of putting all of my energy into this and I don't feel grounded. it's been very frsutrating esp since I have worked so hard, and I know many of you understand this, Just looking for any other bits of good information...maybe I should try a liver cleanse?

Oh, alsi in a 3 day stool test I had, I had a malabsorbtion of fat, so I was taking oregon grape but I also heard that can through off the balance of your intestinal flora, so who knows...thanks!!!

I appreciate any help.
Blessings,
Whitney

    Did you do probiotics to replace the bad with the good?

    Also, after such an intense round of colon cleansing you may have disrupted the normal nervous input to the bowels. After doing colon hydrotherapy I noticed I was actually more constipated and I was told that colon hydrotherapy can interfere with normal bowel function, I know that I won't do it again.

    Finally, all detox's require an exit strategy. You can't just jump back into eating anything and everything; and without support many people end up doing something they later wish they didn't: pizza and beer, box of chocolates etc.

    Sounds like you are grasping at things that may or may not be related to your issues: another liver ceanse, oregon grape, whats it all mean? There is no substitute for a professional opinion and a good naturopath should be able to pinpoint the problems and devise a sound treatment plan. Good luck.

    Yes; Water with minerals, elements, ions and electrolytes all these are the foundation of your being. This is what I do for my clients and what it dose is rebirth of the body, mind and soul.

    Colon lavage is my tribe. All my information is their, you can read all about minerals, elements, ions and electrolytes and how they are SO important for the being on a cellar level.

    Candida lives on the mucoid plaque and it loves an acidic invirment, so if you drink about 8 oz, of minerals and elements at night before bed,your colon will be Alkaline no mater what you have eaten that day.

    what I use is all natural and it has a 150 minerals, elements, ions and electrolytes.
    Scientist knows if we humans have 150 of these elements in our foundation we are DISEASE FREE and old age is a disease.
    That’s why all my clients become younger and healthier then they have ever been sense birth.

    Trace Minerals are the Foundation of Health
    Chemical balance within the body is facilitated by the manipulation of minerals. An abundant and replenished mineral nutritional supply is essential to excellent health. Always remember that the body can use minerals without vitamins, but it can’t use vitamins without minerals. Minerals are the solid foundation upon which all nutrition is built. As important as vitamins are, minerals are even more important. Many vitamins and other complex chemicals needed by the body are actually manufactured within the body itself. The minerals, however, which are the basic building blocks making up these complex substances, must be nutritionally present, or the system is lacking its essential ingredients. Poison
    The body has many systems to keep in balance for health. While minerals do the majority of the heavy work, the trace minerals can be compared with the small weights on a balance beam. These tiny weights, though small, are absolutely vital for achieving optimum health. When complex systems are being considered, it is the fine tuning that leads to optimal performance.

    Electrolyte
    Due to electrolyte positive or negative charges, they are capable of transferring electrical energy throughout the body. Electrolyte is in a liquid form and is capable of conducting an electric current by the movement of its dissociated positive and negative ions to the electrodes.

      Have you tried Jatoba bark? You can brew it as a tea or take caps. It is a known anti-candida herbal medicine that comes from an amazon tree. www.amazonmedicine.com/Indivi...03.html and scroll down.

        Of course this does not replace the previous advice about colon lavage and probiotics. This is just another tool to use with those procedures.. Jatoba tea can be used for colon irrigation as well. Be sure to boil the bark for at least a half hour.

      Wilburn,


      "what I use is all natural and it has a 150 minerals, elements, ions and electrolytes.

      What exactly do you use? Capsule, liquid, are the minerals mixed, where can a person find them?. . .

    Candida is a parasite. All of your cleansing is quite commendable, by the way. that is wonderful that you are so diligent in trying to help heal your body and bring it back into homeostasis. Candida can be quite tricky.
    I noticed in your post that you said "I enjoyed some GOOD FOOD" What does good food mean to you? Does that mean sugar and dairy?

    I would suggest that you try a parasite cleanse. This is from Paul Pitchford's nutrition "Bible" called "Healing with Whole Foods". It is an incredibly wealth of information concerning health through nutrition, cleansing, and emotional health. Every kitchen should have a copy.
    In this cleanse. You THOROUGHLY chew a quarter cup of uncooked brown rice before you eat anything else in the day (this serves to lure the parasites, candida, to the surface of your digestive organs), then put one drop of oregano essential oil and 3 drops of GSE (grapefruit seed extract) into a half cup of water. Chug the oregano oil-GSE-water cocktail, then wipe your lips with a towel (because it freakin' burns). Taking the burning cocktail o'health serves to kill parasites and candida after the brown rice has drawn them close to the surface of your GI tract.
    do this for a week, then take a week off, then do it for another week. Then, for maintenance you can wake up, brush your teeth, then take the oregano oil-GSE cocktail before you eat breakfast. You can do this forever.

    Did you know that candida will secrete pseudo hormones into your bloodstream that travels to your brain and MAKES you think that you need to eat sugar. It's crazy. This is a strong statement.....but parasites (including candida) actually control your actions.

    Hey. Try taking chlorella tablets too. They are an uber mineral rich form of algae that is crazy rich in minerals and nutrients. They are expensive, but having really high quality foods into your diet will help your body to only want those things that help to bring it back into balance.

    Much love.

      From what I've read, the candida is always present but only becomes a problem when conditions are favorable for it's development. like acidic conditions and accumutlation of waste. Does anyone have any hard data or clarification on this point?

        Heatherlee--you sound experienced with candida...did you rid yourself of the little pests and if so, did you notice a change in your constitution? like a difference in your appetite for sweets?

          My knowledge comes from a deep interest in holistic health. My sisters have had severe candida problems as well as some of my male friends. I did a bunch of reserve for them. My fiance, Mojohito, is also a nutritional consultant, with a special interest in chinese medicine. I just happen to know a lot about different parasites...I, thankfullly, have never done a candida cleanse. But I have done intestinal parasite cleanses, because EVERYONE has got intestinal parasites....if you have lived in a house with pets you have parasites. (Look at those older guys with big beer bellies....their guts are packed with parasites) After the parasite cleanse I definately noticed a change in myself. I didn't crave sweets at all....intestinal parasites will actually secrete a psuedo hormone into your blood stream that travels to your brain and commands you to eat sweets...no joke. My skin was much smoother, I didn't feel heavy after meals, and I had more energy.

    candida is NOT a parasite or anything that you want to get rid of from what i've learned.

    i suffered from candida for years and tried everything.
    i ate NO sugar including refined, natural, fruit or otherwise... that also included any grains for 6 months and it did NOTHING.

    i found relief through the teaching of Dr. Doug Graham's 80/10/10 diet... but even if you are not into 80/10/10 or raw food, he talks about candida and what i have learned from him has CHANGED MY LIFE.

    i was living in fear of eating any sugar, because i thought candida was this terrible thing that was taking over my body and my mind - and that i had to kill it.

    according to dr. graham, candida is ALWAYS present in our bodies, exisitng as a survival mechanism to keep us alive when our body cannot handle and breakdown the excessive amounts of sugar that we are putting into our system.

    the problem is FAT. NOT SUGAR. when we overconsume fats it inhibits the body from being able to break down the sugars for use, and when the liver cannot work hard enough to break the sugar down because of the excessive amounts of fat (it can take up to 24 hours for fats to be broken down into useable simple sugar compounds by the body, whereas sugar is broken down in as quickly as 30 minutes and being used by the bloodstream)

    so excess fat = sugar not being able to be absorbed = liver working overtime= liver can't keep up = candida colonies being activated to 'eat' the excess sugar so that we don't go into insulin shock and die.

    candida is saving your life right now.

    when the excess sugar disappears, the candida can't survive and dies.

    if you want to cure your candida, eat no fats at all for 48 hours.

    according to dr. graham, any candida problem can be cured in 1-3 days of fasting or juicing depending on the severity. you just have to get the FAT out of your system so the simple sugars can be used by the body properly again.

    check out dr. grahams website for more info. www.foodnsport.com under FAQ there's stuff about candida and eating fruit.

    it changed my life.

    k :)

      I've always understood that Candida was a naturally occurring bacteria in our systems as well. What Kyla mentioned makes a ton of sense, I haven't read the information she shares anywhere and that's most likely because the *root* cause of overgrowth is probably not very well understood.

      The *root* cause of many diseases are not truly understood. I'm glad I read this.

        hey katrina,

        glad to share what i've learned.... it was out of left field to everything i had heard as well but i was at the point where i was ready to look at it from a different angle.

        hopefully more people will hear about this... so many are suffering from candida needlessly.

        all the expensive solutions and the intense diet and the tinctures and pills and powders are trying to tackle the symptoms, just as you say... not the root.

        good luck!

        also - dr. graham who is the one where this info comes from... has a forum linked to his www.foodnsport.com website where you can discuss lots of issues with other people... if you ask him a question directly he'll often answer you... which is a great way to learn more!

        hugs,

        kyla :)
