Good News

December 16, 2008

HI Cam and ,

Thanks for the uplift. I did the scan yesterday and all in all it was

not too bad. I found out though, that the orders specified full pelvic

and said nothing about the hips. I kept saying are you sure? She must

have thought I was nuts but I must have told him a dozen times during

our session that it was my hips that hurt. Anyway, she called his

office and of course could not get through to him so she did not do the

hips. I have a funny feeling, I'll end up doing it again. I knew it

would be a process of elimination and I am very glad to have ruled out

RA. I don't see him until 1/13 so it is time to relax and enjoy the

season. Thanks,

Val,

Glad to hear that is behind you. Is there a possibility that your doc

suspects that your pelivs is really the source of the pain/problem?

Also....wouldn't pelvic xrays reveal the pelvis and hip joints?

Well....let us know how it goes the 13th...and in the meantime, heres

an eggnog to you!

Hi Cam,

That may be true. He might have thought that the pelvic area was

causing the issue. It just seemed strange because I made such a point

of it and wanted the hips checked. Anyway, we will see what the 13th

brings. Happy Holidays to you too.

I guess it all depends, but I know DrRand has commented on my hip

joints when he was looking at lumbar films...so I suppose its possible

that you are going to get the whole area depending on how big a

picture they take.

Val, that is good, that you don't have osteoporosis. I hope you won't

have to avoid weight-bearing exercise for long. That's a real

important part of maintaining strong bones.

Thanks for keeping us posted.

+++Hi . If course you have antigens to gluten; all candida

sufferers are gluten-intolerant and have Celiac Disease. Candida

causes celiac disease.

Also all candida sufferers have low adrenals and imbalanced

hormones. All you need is this program to correct all of your health

problems.

Bee

February 5, 2009

Did he prescribe you the progesterone cream b/c of your adrenals or something

else?

What is the progesterone suppose to do for your condition?

I ask b/c i have something similar to you - low hormones and worn out adrenals.

Hi Cestli. All candida sufferers have low hormones and worn out

adrenals, that this program corrects. The reason for these

conditions is because candida toxins (and other toxins too) cause all

of the cell membranes to become rigid/stiff which interferes with the

functioning of all organs, and it also means hormones, nutrients and

even water aren't as able to get into stiff cells - see this article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cabout1.php

I do not recommend taking any hormones in the meantime, since they

are very powerful and will interfere with the healing process. So

please concentrate on giving your body " proper nutrients " (diet plus

supplements) so it can heal itself naturally.

Bee

February 6, 2009

Sorry for mistake. He prescribed progesterone pills from compounding

pharmacy bc i am sensitive to many additives and adrenal hormocream

for adrenal problems.My progesterone is very low especially in

comparison with estrogen and it may cause many problem i have reflux

esophagitis, hot flashes, low sex drive,etc.

Low adrenal caused low body temperature not thyroids as other doc

said. I am glad i didn`t take thyroid drug bc even supplement with

thyroid tissue caused severe acid reflux bc it is stimulant as new

doc said me.

The most important that test which I had before: stool test for

digestive problem and blood test for hormones were absolutly

different. I had high prigesterone on first test.

****Hi :

Bee has often stated that people with Candida are guten intolerant and have

poor

digestion and absorption of nutrients. The diet therefore has no grains and

uses HCl to

improve digestion.

**** Your hormones will all be out of whack because they are not getting the

nutrition they

need because Candida stiffens the cell walls and prevents absorption of

nutrition. This

diet will correct all those hormone levels in time. It will not help you to

supplement

individual hormones, because what is really wrong with you is the Candida. If

you improve

your immune system so that it can change the Candida back to it's benign form,

then you

will be able to feed and balance your hormones. I think Bee would say that the

HCl will

help your digestion and you shouldn't need the bile salts.

All the best,

Marissa

The bad news is that lab tests are notoriously inaccurate for dysbiosis.

Also, more than 80% of the time parasites are not detected even in

infected individuals.

+++Hi . All of your symptoms are caused by candida, and they can

be cured if you do this program faithfully. I see you joined this

group January 2007, and yet it appears you still are not doing the

program.

Bee

February 7, 2009

Bee I did follow program as much as I can. I was on diet with no

carbs at all but later added some gluten free grains bc I wasn`t

able to eat many vegetables and much meat and eggs. I have

intolerance to egg yolk, lamb and beef so I ate it in few days only.

I know what you say about intolerance that it is good but I don`t

want more problem in my gut that I already have.

Also i can`t take vitamins except D and E which are not acidic and

amino acids. I have severe pain in stomach and feel overheated from

them or some food recommended for candida.Now I can`t use even Pau d

Arco, coconut oil and other supplements.

I know that most people who have candida can tolerate that easy but

I am not the same. I have learn it from Ayurveda that my type of

body is Pitta ( Fire) and they usually have acidic body and even

mind.My reflux is not only from candida bc I had it long before

candida.

I think this tests are more accurate bc I had the symptoms of low

progesterone and cortisone for a long time but my blood test was

normal.New test with saliva showed different results.Doc prescribed

me progestorone pills and adrenal hormocream from this lab.I don`t

know if progesterone pills are safe bc I got firts symptoms of

candida after progestin shot. But I probably don`t have other option

bc estrogen dominance caused reflux as doc explained me.

I already wrote that I have low body temperature.One doc said it is

probably from low thyroid function but today my integrative doc told

meit is from low adrenal function.It can cause fatigue, mental

confusion, anxiety and even panic.In fact if I would take Thyroid

meds it would cause problem with adrenals bc it is stimulant.I was

taking supplement with thyroid tissue for 10 days and I had very bad

flair up with acid reflux.

In regard of bacteries I think this test is better bc it detect

their DNA. Though it is difficult to believe I don`t have much

candida I can say I feel much better that in the past though not

totally healthy.I was taking Lacto & Bifido bacteries in pills for

one year and when it get too painful to my stomach I used it in

enemas too.I also used Duflican, some antifungals, Candex and

digestive enzymes.

Before you worry too much about the cost of Arimidex you should check with your

pharmacy or insurance company. My Blue Cross insurance pays for it, after my

$20.00 per month copay. My pharmacist said that is is a covered drug, and the

insurance company doesn't question why the doctor prescribes it.

>

> Phil: I went to see my endo today. You remember that my estradiol was 119 in

the latest blood work. She wants to start me on Arimidex 1mg daily! She is

really concerned about all the cardiac risks in my profile, plus the high

hematacrit, and feels the high estradiol is another risk factor that I don't

need. I am pretty sure my insurance company won't pay for it, but she is going

to try. She is lowering my testosterone shots from 150 to 100. She is also

referring me to a urologist because I am having trouble peeing (my prostate

feels like a rock) and a hemotologist for the hematocrit. She wants him to do a

more thorough study of the issue. She raised my synthroid to 88mcg but left my

cytomel as is. The question I have for you is where can I get Arimidex if my

plan won't approve it. I have a written prescription. The CVS pharmacy I go to

said it would be $497 a month out of pocket. Is there a mail pharmacy where I

can get it cheaper?

That is great news you need your Dr. to call your BCBS or Drug plain and tell

them your in need of this med because you are on TRT and need to keep Estradiol

levels down. As for you prostate mine went down getting my Estradiol levels

down took about 6 months but I stopped getting bladder infections and was

starting to void much better faster.

If you can't get the arimidex for less money go at AG-Guys and order LiquiDex it

is the same thing but used for animal research a lot of guys use this and it

works great they use a small needle and pull out there dose with it and put it

in some juice or just squirt it into there mouth.

1mg/ml but this is a high dose I would not take this much when I first went on

arimdex I did .5 mgs everyday when my night time and morning wood started up I

lowered the dose to .5 mgs every other day. If your wood stops your going down

to low so stop the arimidex until your wood comes back that day go back on it

but do .25 mgs every other day wash and repeat until you find the best dose. A

lot of guys like this kind it cost less and you don't have to cut the dam little

pills up.
