detoxing and anxiety

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if anyone has experienced increased anxiety while trying to

detoxify the body of candida?

My problems all started back in January. After a series of laser acupuncture

treatments to rid my body of heavy metals and while taking several

anti-candida meds and following an anti-candida diet, I started experiencing

severe and

chronic anxiety attacks. They are getting so bad that I am becoming terrified

to leave the house. However, I refuse to become a shut-in and I continually

push myself to go places. They seem to really get me while driving,

especially on the expressway. Because of this I am only driving locally and am

letting

my hubby do the expressway driving. I hate this! I love to drive on the

expressway and do not like to depend on other people. The longer this continues

the more scared I am becoming. And I am well aware that fear of having an

anxiety attack can bring on another.

I am very familiar with panic disorder as I have had problems with it

throughout my life. But I was always able to manage before and keep it under

control. I take extra care to manage stress these days so as to prevent this

problem

from getting out of control. Was taking Paxil for it for about a year but

weaned off of it per my doctor's instructions.

I have noticed a direct correlation between detoxing and increased anxiety.

Lately, I have been experiencing constipation and feel so awful when my body

is unable to eliminate on a daily basis. Per the advise of my doctor, I have

started doing coffee enemas every other day to assist my body. I normally feel

wonderful after these enemas. I almost feel like my body is rid of all the

junk that is causing my nervous system to go haywire. And the anxiety seems to

diminish drastically afterwards. So I think there is a link between the

yeast toxins and the anxiety.

However, I have also noticed that I get very anxious when I am obsessing

about my health. This too can bring about an attack in me. I routinely

meditate,

pray, and do EFT (Emotional Freedom Therapy) for this.

I feel so frustrated right now. The candida is starting to go away, I can

see it. The rash on my face is disappearing, the thrush is going away, and I

have so much more energy. In my heart I know that I am close to ridding my body

of the candida! I think I am herxing, going through a healing crisis. My

doctor told me that he has noticed a big improvement too. I just don't think I

have the strength to continue to struggle with the anxiety that is going along

with the detox.

Can anyone relate to what I have just described? Any suggestions or

comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Sue;Have you analyzed the products

that you are taking?Everything has a

side effect,some worse than others.I

have been using 1 teaspoon of Chlorella

daily for years and have absolutely no

yeast problems and it detoxyfies

also.About 6 months before getting the

DX of scleroderma my miuth was

absolutely white,I could not taste and

the nausea was scary.Whether it was the

chlorella or the methotrexate that fixed

the problem I do not know but I take

just one teaspoon daily just in

case.You can find quite a bit of info

online. Lynne

Hi group,

Lynne suggested that I send a listing of all the vitamins and supplements I

take to her to see if there may be any negative interactions between them. She

also suggested that I send a copy to the group to see if anyone else had any

insights.

I am experiencing some pretty severe anxiety attacks lately and I am

wondering if part of the problem may be some negative interactions between

supplments

and vitamins.

I am detoxing my body for candida and am finally starting to get the upper

hand; however, I am experiencing some terrible anxiety and wonder if this is all

just a herxing reaction or something more.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks so much.

Yes. This is fairly common due to the rebalancing of your body chemistry.

Severity varies by individual but eases and passes after a time. Duration

depends on the severity and depth of the problem, overall health and steps

taken to purge the toxins. Ex: drinking copious amounts of clean, filtered

water can help, as can few, small, light vegan-type meals, mostly raw and

without spice or seasoning, etc.

You may have taken on too much, too fast. Generally, it is wise to do these

things singularly over time and to give yourself time to adjust and

stabilize before taking on the next foe. This tends to make the battles

less severe, but prolongs the war. The question is balance: If you have the

physical, mental, emotional and spiritual strength and stamina to fight the

entire war at one time without reinforcement or resupply, then you can do it

all at once. If your reserves are limited in _any_ way, then you must limit

your battles to those you can manage effectively at any given time. Cost

must NOT be the factor in these decisions; it does little good to save money

if it costs your life.

> I hate this! I... do not like to depend on other people.

There are two strong spiritual components here: (1) mandated dependence; and

(2) fear of anything but the second death. You may, or may not, wish to

explore those.

Obviously good signs!

That depends on from where your strength comes.
