To Kl and Lu
KL, Gee, i didn't know that about baking soda. I always felt that was the one thing that helped relieve the burn. I just got a call from my health food store that a cream I ordered came in. It is Tetra-something. Made with colloidal silver and many other natural things. I saw it advertised in a health magazine, and its supposed to be good for yeast and excema, rash and burning, etc. I'll go get it tomorrow if this snowstorm lets up.Lu, I am amazed at what you told us. So there is hope. Are you the Lu that used to post here along time ago? I think I remember your name. Are all of your candida symptoms gone away? I have questions as KL does about what made it go away. Was it prayer, diet, supps? Must be something that triggered healing. Are you past menopause? I'm 53 and it seems to be worse in the last few months. Seems that when I was diagnosed with diabetes and went through menopause at around 50, that it really flared up. I'm not good with my diet as I should be. Its hard to be the only one in my house who has to eat different. Then I love to bake, its my hobby and I'm good at it. I also crave sweets terribly. I think that the yeast in my body screams for sugar all day long!!! KL, it is so true what you said that this makes you feel like your going crazy. It is driving me insane!
Val,
Yes, I used to post here but now am feeling nearly well, and am also working full-time.
I've given some thought to what made a difference for me. I did everything to get well. I went on the classic candida diet, I took diflucan, amphoteracin-b, probiotics, the miracle II (I think that's the name) products, some protocol developed by a nurse, took months off work, etc. All this got me was 30 pounds lighter and a terrible case of brain fog. In short, I tried everything.
Once the talk about liver cleansing hit the board, it dawned on me that my MD had me nebulizing glutathione. It said it would be good for my liver. I never gave it any thought because I could barely think at the time. All I knew was that I had developed asthma from smoking and the glutathione was healing my lungs (I do not smoke now). Recently, I've been thinking maybe it was the effect the glutathione had on my liver that made the difference. Who knows? And, it probably wasn't any one thing. I was also taking regular saunas. The more I think about it, the more I uncover forgotten protocols.
Yes, I am mid-50s and menapausal. Hopefully, near the end.
I don't have any symptoms of yeast. BUT, I'm still so paranoid about getting sick again. I felt as though I was dying. In fact, I truly believe I was dying. I also had a bad case of h-pylori that was hell getting rid of. I do have fatigue but that can be related to many things.
Anyway, I hope this helps. I'm leaving tomorrow and will not return until the end of the month in case you need more info.
