Re: breathing problems associated with candida??

[Guest guest]

Hi: Please let us know your name. And welcome. I'm sure Bee will address your

questions

but I wanted to chime in because one of my main set of symptoms was issues with

breathing and my lungs. I believe the term for being unable to draw a full,

complete

breath is called " air hunger " . I experienced frequently, and for me as well, it

tended to

occur at night.

I found that Bee's diet was the only thing that has ever truly helped me. I am

still healing,

but I AM HEALING. " Air hunger " has been tied to thyroid issues which are really

tied to

Candida issues. Our metabolisms and immune systems break down because Candida

overgrowth causes the cell walls to go rigid and they no longer receive

nutrition from our

food.

Personally, I found my air hunger attacks were especially triggered by my having

too much

sugar. I seemed to have a threshold and I could eat a little sugar and just

have other

problems, but when I ate too much, the breathing problems would result. And

" sugar "

means whatever the BODY recognizes as sugar: so that's alcohol, spelt bread,

grains, dairy

(not butter), etc. That sugar-free jelly is also bad because of the toxic

chemicals it's made

with.

Sugar also wreaked havoc on my digestive system because it fed the yeast. My

digestion

was a mess for years. All of this has been brought into line by following Bee's

diet. No

other Candida diet worked for me (and I tried 3) because they all allowed too

much sugar

in their protocols and they did not encourage the good fats which heal the

hormone

systems and the body as a whole, they also didn't suggest the HCl

supplementation which

turned my world around. I was never receiving what little nutrition I was

ingesting

because my stomach acid was too low to digest my food properly.

I encourage you to read Bee's Getting Started material and her explanation of

what

Candida is and how it works. Many healers have a faulty or incomplete

understanding of

the beast and just want to throw herbs and anti-biotics at it, but you have to

strengthen

your immune system so that it can change Candida back into a friendly organism.

Here's one link and the rest are on Bee's site.

I don't know if my problems are definitely caused by yeast.. " Air

hunger " is exactly what I've been experiencing. It feels like there

isn't enough air in my lungs,or in the room, and that my lungs have

forgotten how to breathe. Or maybe my diaphragm, or maybe both. Why

don't my doctors even want to look at this as a possibility? They

won't even test for its presence in my system.

Maybe they don't want to admit that they messed me up in the first

place..with all of the antibiotics. I must admit that I am resistant

to the idea that I have to go on the strict diet. With a family

needing me to cook for them every night, it will be nearly impossible

to satisfy the requirements of the diet and cook food that they will

find satisfying. ~Kari

I am currently having air hunger issues that are getting better day by

day slowly. Back in July I spent 5 days in the hospital getting pumped

up with strong antibiotics and other toxic drugs.

This diet will definitely help you. However, I noticed that you

mentioned you had sugar free jam. Those items are not allowed.

Your kids also probably have candida since they crave sugar also. Give

this diet a try, I am sure it will help you. ALso get your thyroid

tested. Breathing problems is a big issue with thyroid problems. By

the way, this program will also heal an impaired thyroid, too!

This is an interesting topic as I've noticed within the last two

weeks (about when I started the diet) my asthma has sprung up. I've

had to use my neubilizer machine (with albuterol) quite a few times

and even that didn't help much. My inhaler (again, albuterol)

actually makes my asthma worse when I check my peak flows! I'm

trying to stay away from the drugs and focus on getting my Candida

under control, which I now feel may be related to my asthma. I have

an appointment with my Holistic Health/ M.D tomorrow, so I'll be sure

to bring it up and see what he says.

mary, i absolutely believe asthma and candida are related. when i was

a teenager,

after a few years of being a vegetarian, i developed eczema and

asthma, and was

given steroid cream and a steroid inhaler. the inhaler only made my

symptoms worse,

and i can thank my doctor for this if only because when i recognised

that he'd given

me toxins, it began my awakening into health! unfortunately i held on

to vegetarianism

for many years after that. still, i recognised that certain foods

would trigger my asthma,

in particular, garlic! i avoided garlic and got rid of the asthma. i

still had eczema,

however, until i stopped eating about 20 food sensitivities, plus

sugar, beans, grains, and

cow's dairy. until i came here and realised that i was reacting to

garlic because

of its anti-fungal properties, and really went the whole way that i

needed to - no fruit, lots

of good fats, no nuts, low carb veg.

my skin has never looked this good in the middle of winter, and i can

eat small amounts

of cooked garlic comfortably.

it sounds like you're retracing asthma, is that true? i would stay

definitely with the diet but make

sure you going slowly. my eczema increases when i go too fast.

+++Hi there. What is your name? What you are having is similar to a

panic attack, which can happen any time, day or night. But Marissa

explained best by calling it " air hunger. "

> I've had continual problems with yeast infections since the year

1996; the year after my twins were born when I was continually

getting sick and was on antibiotics for an entire winter. I may have

some immune disorder. It's really hard for me to get well once I get

sick with anything. I've had a cough originating in my bronchial

area for over a year now.

don't like to eat anything but fruit and carbs.

+++Like Marissa wrote, please read so you understand this program,

and the foods allowed, and why they are not allowed, etc. Spelt

bread, sugar free jelly and brown rice are not on the diet, for very

good reasons you'll understand after reading.

+++It sounds like your teenagers have an addiction to sweets/sugars,

which is very unhealthy for them. They, too, might have candida

which makes people addicted to sugars and high carb foods, including

fruits. Fruits are one of the worst foods since they make the body

produce more insulin very quickly. Even healthy people should only

have 2 fruit servings per day, along with plenty of " good " fats I

recommend in order to slow the release of sugars into the bloodstream.

> I don't understand if my breathing difficulty has anything to do

with the yeast or not. The doctors are clueless.

+++Yes, your breathing problems are related to yeast for sure.

We are here to help and support you, but please read first. Marissa

referred you to the getting started article, but also read: " How to

Successfully Overcome Candida " in this section on my website:

Hi . Also saturated fats are extremely important for lung health,

since their cell membranes must be constructed out of 100% saturated

fat, i.e. coconut oil, butter, lard, etc., in order for them to be

healthy - see this article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat15.php

Also candida toxins (and other toxins, even your inhaler) makes cell

membranes rigid/stiff so nutrients, the immune system's healing

substances, hormones, and even water aren't as able to get into the

cells where they are needed to do their job - see Candida Causes Cell

Membrane Defects:

I hope that helps you understand.
