There is hope

[Guest guest]

I have been feeling very frustrated about still testing positive

with the candida, and I was begining to think that my efforts were

not producing any results... until last night. I realized 2 things

last night as I was lounging around watching TV. My toenails look

better than they have in years. My particularly badly infected

toenail is almost looking normal! It still has the discoloration and

the roughness, but the thickness of it has gone down by more than

half! Then as I was brushing my teeth I noticed that my tongue

looked normal. I know that sounds weird but some of you will

understand. I have lived with a blotchy swollen tongue for many

years and I just realized last night that it has been at least

several weeks if not a couple of months since my tongue was blotchy

and/or swollen. FINALLY I feel like there is hope and that I am

making progress! It's been nearly 5 months since my surgery and I

have been taking all of the supplements as well as severe diet

changes and I was frustrated beyond belief! Now I feel like it is

happening, slowly but surely, and it is all worth it.

Thank you guys for encouraging us to stay on track and continue to

work away our illness. I would not have had the will power to keep

this up without all the encouargement on this board. Although now

that I am getting used to it, I sincerely prefer the diet changes

and can't even stomach the thought of a fast food meal. I haven't

even tasted a french fry in months! I'm still eatting sweets, but

not nearly as much as I used to. No more ice cream or candy except

for the occassional square of chocolate and the organic brownies

that I can't give up! LOL
