Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Fair question, ! Over the years of doing this stuff, I've amassed a whole bunch of sources and assembled a host of search engines, some automated, some manual. The last very interesting piece on the CI came from the archives of the New York Times, to which I subscribe. That allows me access to their archives back to 1851. 156 years.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hi , I've no experience with the Herxheimer reaction; others certainly have. A general toxic overload would put stress on your liver (for de-tox) and possibly your kidneys as well. Not sure if Candida gives the LPS (Lipopolysaccharide ~ from the cell wall) reaction; will look. Lots of fluids (and salt) might be needed to keep things as dilute as possible. I guess you may not feel like eating during the stressful part; in which case (fasting) your liver doesn't get overloaded and with which it can't cope. ...... best wishes Bob > > Hello > I have recently had a candida antibody test done and it has come back > with a positive result.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thank you bob, which ever way I look at it I need to treat the candida, it may be one of the reasons I feel so lousey sometimes and sick everyday at the moment, I find if I have a nap I wake up feeling the urge for a biscuit or something sweet to raise my blood sugar. I also eat biscuits in the night sometimes. Looking back I have probably had this problem for a very long time. I am feeling very tired and sick a lot of the time now. I will go to the chemist and get the fluconazole and give it a go, I dont feel much like eating now so I cant get much worse!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I have recent experience of this though it would depend on the amount of candida you actually have compared to me, I did not do the test. Would you mind letting me know what your actual result was and the range for interest? I found that the very first pill was the worst and I felt rotten for two or three days so I would advise taking a couple of days off work and resting. Like Bod said plenty of fluids and you could benefit from Milk Thistle which will support your liver in clearing out the toxins. It is this that makes you feel rough. Collapse is probably too strong a word here, again depending on toxic load, but a day on the sofa watching nothing very challenging on the telly is how I would guess things might go for you, it did for me anyway. I also took something called molypdenum which helped as well, though I had to send off for that and the milk thistle is more readily available at Holland & Barret etc. I had a dull headache around the forehead for a couple of days, not unbearable, more ache than pain. You can do this! Think how much better you will feel. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Anybody treating Candida should get a reaction with the 'die-off'. It has to go somewhere, and as it is driving out of your system, you are going to feel the effect. The thing is , you are warned about this, so when it does happen, don't think it is another awful, 'orrible symptom that is happening to you, and remember, after a few days, you are going to feel quite amazing. Honestly, stick with this and it will be worth it. luv - Sheila Hi ,I've no experience with the Herxheimer reaction; others certainly have.A general toxic overload would put stress on your liver (for de-tox) and possibly your kidneys as well.Not sure if Candida gives the LPS (Lipopolysaccharide ~ from the cell wall) reaction; will look.Lots of fluids (and salt) might be needed to keep things as dilute as possible.I guess you may not feel like eating during the stressful part; in which case (fasting) your liver doesn't get overloaded and with which it can't cope......best wishesBob>> Hello> I have recently had a candida antibody test done and it has come back > with a positive result.No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi , I hope this isn't alarming, even though it is remarkable if true. I've spent a few hours reading the relevant literature this afternoon as a direct result of this video...and it's clear that they are working on an urgent problem. The work I put up, above, was only the tip of the ice-berg. There's too much to put up in one go, I'll need to 'digest' and sort it. It explains how the change from a yeast to a fungal form takes place in hypoxic conditions. The hyphae that attach to the endothelial layer in the gut (for example) require a binding molecule ~ the mannose (sugar) based glycoproteins that are triggered in the hyphae by HWP1 (Hyphae Wall Protein 1). They're looking for a way to disrupt the 'proper' functioning of the HWP1 ~ amongst other things. Appears that mild acids (acetic even) and hydrogen peroxide will cause the fungal form to die off by apoptosis; the 'safe' way to do it. I wonder if (cider?) vinegar and other formerly recognised remedies will do as well as the 'wonder drugs' intended. It may be that varying the hydrogen ion concentration outside the comfort zone for Candida Albicans will cause it to have a 'breakdown'. High pH with bicarbonate of soda, or low pH with mild acids,it seems as though either will work? The pancreas is supposed to add bicarbonate to the small intestine thereby raising the pH and neutralising the acidity from the stomach. Low zinc would cause poor functioning of the carbonic anhydrase enzyme (it swaps bicarbonate for chloride). So, is this another manifestation of poor zinc levels? Candidiasis?? I'd be unsurprised and thankful, if that is the case. Low zinc is known to be associated with cancers. It also associates with diabetes and with hypothyroidism. My 'penchant' for home-cooked peanuts (no added oils) may be explained, if that is so. (Nuts contain the trace elements needed for 'germination' ~ gonadal zinc is vital in mammals and many other species). best wishes Bob > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hi all, This is fascinating, but cervical cancer is caused by the human papillima virus, as no doubt others are also caused by viruses. So amazing though this discovery is, it isn’t a panacea for all cancers. Subject: Re: Re: Question for BOB Hi The point is that they are finding cancer is caused by a fungus - a fungus like candidiasis and they are finding that bicarbonate of soda is curing these cancers - curing the fungus. Candida is a fungus, and it is possible that bicarbonate of soda will be all that you need to cure your candida. If this is fact, this is a wonderful discovery. I have sent this information to Dr Peatfield to see what he thinks Bicarbonate of soda is one of the most powerful antifungicides there is. It makes such sense to me. What an amazing discovery if this doctor is correct. Luv - Sheila ----- Not happy with your email address?

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Sheila, I posed that question to a youngish qualified pharmacist (non-UK national, may have been doing locum duty) contrasting the use of Fluconazole (OTC at £9.99) with perhaps a proton pump inhibitor and/or bicarbonate for GI candidiasis ~ didn't acknowledge the use for candidiasis of the proton pump inhibitor and bicarbonate to neutralise/alkalinize the GI tract, and mentioned that a longer-term use of Fluconazole might be needed for candidiasis, plus getting medical support for 'systemic' candidiasis. I asked about possible kidney problems with fluconazole and she said it should be OK if the kidneys aren't damaged....? I was asked if it was for me, I said no 'it's for someone else'....they did suspect I might know a little more than the ordinary client (but not that much :-) ) and I said I'm a chemist not a pharmacist...... My inference from this conversation is that there might be some confusion as to the utility of Fluconazole in treating candidiasis...they had quite a few of the standard treatments under the OTC (staff guidance) category. I'll have to look in some more places and see what is the standard guidance for a) oral/vaginal thrush systemic candidiasis c) skin infection I think you meant proton pump inhibitor rather than beta blocker, didn't you Sheila? ...... on reading a little further the re-conversion of the hyphal form back to the yeast form of candidiasis is thought to necessitate longer term vigilance on whatever treatment is used ~ eg, low carb with no sugars etc. ....interpreting what I was told, ..the pharmicist didn't mention the low carb diet ....? so between the medical profession and pharmacists, perhaps a little coordination might be helpful? I wonder what the standard treatment for Helicobacter Pylori would do if there's confusion on the cause of stomach problems.... How are they differentiating between the one and the other? It should be a breath test, I think.....my father had this done many years (decades) after having an operation for ulcers .... best wishes Bob > > Bob > > If the stomach acids might dilute bicarbonate of soda so it wouldn't be potent enough to cleanse all the intestines (small and large) to rid them of candida, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Just a follow up on my candida treatment, I took the Fluconazole on Tuesday and never felt a thing! No 'rapid die off' symptoms or anything, this leads me to believe that although I tested positive to the candida I suspect my levels werent that bad, only 13 points above normal. I will follow the protocol and do it again for 2 more weeks but I suspect I wasnt that infested with them!
