Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 what were your symptoms Joe? yes i have found it very helpful; a lot of people are dismissive about parasites - i am open minded though - and think they are a 3rd world only thing. they can i believe be spread more than just by eating (and is that impossible if u think how many meals you eat a yr, some of which are eaten out?)? they (Humaworm) also do a specific candida cleanse but the humaworm itself is anti candidal too. check out the symptoms of parasites and do some reading, perhaps take a look at the humaworm curezone forum too and make up your own mind. i have seen some books (such as prescritpion for natural healing by balch) say that parasites are not uncommon in chronic fatigue. i have found paying attention to gut inflammation (by following the protocols in the 'stress effect' book has been helpfu for me, it helped me reduce HC from 40 to 25mg pretty mucch over night. the stress effect book is well worth a read. perhaps you are eating/drinking stuff that is damaging your gut that can in turn allow candida to flourish? i had problems with fatigue, feeling drunk, 'bad thoughts', food intolerances, fungal nail, 'jock itch' etc - i still have these problems but they are a lot beter on the whole. any questions please ask -if i don't get back to you within a day or two please remind me via email, i don't always follow the threads or answers to them. chris > > Were your problems similar to mine? > How did you find it helpful? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 You have a fortnights break from taking any each month Judith. You might get the trots if you take too much, so don't go down that road. Luv - Sheila My query is that when I went to buy the bicarb, the chap in the chemist was a bit concerned that if I was to use it for a long period of time I will have to watch my blood pressure doesn't go down. Is that a problem and are there any more problems I should be concerned about while taking the bicarb of soda. Thanks-Judith No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Mine were IgG antibodies Negative 2.6 U/mL Normal range <10 U/mL and IgA antibodies Negative 7.8 U/mL Normal range <10 U/ml The lab where you got your test ought to be able to tell you what time range the antibodies would be relevant for. I would ask them. Didn't they give any kind of interpretation of the raw numbers? Mine said, " The absence of both the IgA and IgG specific antibody response to candida, indicates that there is no specific evidence of a recent candida infection and there has not been such an infection in the recent past. " Result 189 with range <100 sounds like a definite Yes to me. What do other people think?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Not accurate Pippa - but it does give a good indication of whether you ought to go for the test to see whether you have candida antibodies. I used to swear by the spit test until somebody tried it and their sputum sent threads right down to the bottom of their glass tumbler - and so she sent for the test (that was before TPA members got discounts on tests from Genova). When the result came back, the result was negative and I was well and truly told off because that particular member could not really afford the test. She actually unregistered from the forum she was so angry, so I never talk about this test now - you can say that I learned my lesson. Play safe and get the 'proper' test done if you think there may be a problem. Luv - Sheila How accurate is the morning spit in the glass test?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yes, I would say a result of 189 is well outside of the reference range and definitely indicates a problem that needs treating with diet and medication. Hazel. www.oneagleswings.me.uk http://oneagleswingsme.blogspot.com/ Result 189 with range <100 sounds like a definite Yes to me. What do other people think? Miriam --- avast!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hi , You have to fight the Candida with both medication and a change in diet. The diet involves cutting out yeast and sugars (including sugar, white flour, pasta, etc) and concentrating instead on complex carbohydrates. Medication such as Fluconazole is also recommended along with natural remedies such as grapefruit seed extract and caprylic acid; probiotics are also necessary. Go to the TPA forum website, click on Files and then select the folder on Candida - there are lots of helpful articles in there. Best Wishes.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 > > my results were 189 and it should be less than 100 is that a mild result?> > Not in my book, - that is nearly 100% more than the highest tolerated level. A mild positive result would in my view be something just above 100. If the ref range goes up to 100, then a "good" level for the antibodies to be at would be up to say 50.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi , I know this is going to sound strange but I don't have symptoms that I can callcandida just low thyroid. Candida symptoms are often the very same as thyroid symptoms, so you might not even realize what is what. Here is a list of symptoms... http://www.candidaexpert.com/Symptoms.htm (please note, I am not promoting the products they sell. I do not know them. This is just to give you some idea about Candida symptoms). But it is your choice whether to take the fluconazole or not. also do you take the probiotics whilst taking the drugs or after? Wont the drugs just kill the good guys? I would recommend to take probiotics every day for the rest of your life. It does not really matter when. You would take the fluconazole only on 3 separate occasions in weekly intervals. Since it is an antifungal, I don't think they would destroy the good bacteria too, but in the scheme of things it does not really matter. You would take another probiotic 24 hours later anyway.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I don't know about the fluconazole, but caprylic acid is quite mild, so you can build up the number of tablets gradually. Nystatin is supposed to be a strong treatment with the risk of " die off " symptoms. Dr Natasha -McBride is a gut specialist and recommends the probiotic Biokult. Again caution is advised when introducing it, in case it creates a " die off " reaction. http://www.gutandpsychologysyndrome.com/ Miriam > What is the difference between the fluconazole,nystatin and caprilic acid?.I'm reading and learning,slowly. > Are their any probiotics you'd recommend?
