Candida Sucess?

I have been here on this site 4 years ago and would like to know if anyone has been sucessful at beating Candida and getting it under control?


sure. several people that I recall, using different methods to boot. the common denominator appears to be finding the underlying cause, by getting toxins out of your life and out of your body. under this broad statement fit many methods.

It seems like liver flushes are helping alot of people. Since I have been on this board, I would say that candida is still a big issue but information about liver cleasnes,acid alkaline and lyme disease are also discussed due to their relevance to candida.ALot of people may not be getting well yet but they seem to be getting somewhere at least.


for me it was liver flushing, diet, exercise and a host of other holistic things, rather than antifungals, probiotics or assorted sup (though i tried them all in the past)


John,
What type of liver cleanse did you do. My doctor says a liver cleanse wouldn't be very helpful. He said something about it not really getting much out but bile. I didn't really get the whole reasoning behind it but he said not to do it, waste of time and energy.
I'm so tired of hearing yes from one person and no from another... It's sooo frustrating.. It makes me very confused on what to do...


My daughter and I recovered fully and a couple of friends and a colleague I helped also got better. In all cases, we found out what was damaging our immune system and first treated that. Once the cause of immune incompetence was dealt with, the yeast was fairly easy to get rid of.
The only reason to treat the yeast directly is to alleviate symptoms while the real cause is being researched then dealt with.
Real causes I have found included toxic mold (friend), bedroom pesticides (daughter)and Mercury (colleague, me)


My daughter has it too. So we decided not to have any more kids. She was born like it took me 25 yrs to get. We cant eat wheat, corn, dairy, potatoes, sugar, fruit, and no beans except garbonzo and no nuts. It is the immune system part cause I had perfect health most of my life unti I was a teen. So what can we get for the immune system. I am using Candex, Aqua Flora to kill it, Udos, Custom Probiotics and Primodophilus to replenish flora and MSM, Ester C and cal mag as a suppliment. What do you recommend for immune cause I know ours is shot. Sincerely


Immune therapy depends on what's wrong. And what's wrong depends on what's causing the damage in the first place.

Infants can be born with Candida infections and develop gut dysbiosis from the get go. The baby can become allergic to the Candida, which means he or she is reacting allergically 24 x 7 x X. This is enough to completely imbalance the immune system and cause other symptoms. Other than that.....

Xenobiotics like Mercury, PCB, Dioxins etc. can be passed from mother to child via the placenta then via mother's milk. The xenobiotics are immuno-toxic and can cause allergies, which again triggers the immune system 24 x 7

You may live in a home that has been treated with pesticides or fungicides and again you and the child can develop allerdies to the agents in the home

You may have specific food intolerances caused by missing or mutated enzymes

Your best cause of action is to find a Doctor that treats environmental illness. He or she will evaluate your immune system and if something is wrong, investigate its cause


I agree with you about getting a good doctor. The problem is that it is really difficult to find someone who is REALLY well versed in the complexities and variance of symptoms with individuals. What is needed here is a person who will individualize your treatment. Many alternative doctors overcharge for their services,put you thru a battery of expensive tests,dont adequately explain test results,put you on a protocol and if it doesnt work for you, they kind of lose interest. Many people on this board have run the gamut with alternative doctors only to end up dissappointed and unfortunately out alot of money. I dont mean to be negative here or take awasy acknowlegment to the doctors that are qualified and have helped people. I am just saying that there are some who cannot afford this type of extensive medical care and are trying to glean as much help as possible from others who have been helped from outside doctors.


Great post Steve!
I'm just wondering what kind of bedroom toxins your daughter was exposed to and how did you manage to remove them?

Also did you simply remove mercury fillings or did you follow up with chelation therapy?

In one case, the back of a wooden wardrobe, which was against an outside wall was covered in black mould, filling the room with highly immuno- and neuro-toxic mycotoxins.

In my daughter's case, I found that a normal, shop bought carpet was treated with high concentrations of Permethrin (pesticide), 3 pieces of bedroom furniture whose varnish contained Pentachlorophenol (PCP) (fungicide) and 2 bedside tables whose wood stain included Lindane (pesticide).

In my case I removed amalgam fillings and chelated the body burden of mercury using oral DMSA and DMPS over 2 years.

Before the toxins were treated, antifungals worked for as long as the therapy was maintained but Candida returned within days of ceasing treatment.

We treated symptoms for several years before getting to the root of the problem, which once fixed, effected a permanent cure


Steve,
thanks once again for your excellent .

> In my case I removed amalgam fillings and chelated the body burden of mercury using oral DMSA and DMPS over 2 years.

Did you use DMPS monthly injections? For how long? Also how long before you started to notice real improvement?

If you could answer any of those questions or just give more info. on your chelation expereinces I'd be really grateful.

I used mainly oral DMPS and DMSA. I would take the capsules 3x per day for 3 days then a 2 week break. Drank loads of water.
Mercury levels went down steadily over a 12 month period until they were under what is considered 'normal' non-pathogenic levels. Once Mercury was reduced I could successfully get rid of the Candida. Over time the Mercury levels slowly drifted back up again, although there was no external source, indicating a persisting body burden. 2 further 6 month courses permanently reduced the levels. The last 2 challenge tests, where Mercury was virtually absent caused quite severe blistering of all mucous membranes, to the point I could only eat soup for a week. No idea why.
