Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Hi Rhonda, I think Geoff gave you a great suggestion about looking into 's thyroid disease . Also many thyroid tests when not done by an endocrinologist are not doing the RIGHT tests . The recent TSH ( blood test) guidelines have been recently lowered and a standard GP or internist might not be aware of this . I would go to an endo with the exact complaints you have and get re tested . If you have done this already you could always get another opinion from an endo in a teaching hospital as they are more informed of what is current . Also many things including anemia's can give symptoms similar to yours . When all is exhausted you may just have a low body temp . Not everyone falls in the norm your temp may be your Normal my brothers normal temp was 100 we are all different but before assuming this I would exhaust every possibility first . Discuss these concerns with yoru GP/ internist and see an endo . warm regards , socjog PS a great site is about.com and then type in the search thyroid wonderful site for thyroid info . Hello group: Does anyone here have experience with an extremely low body temperature? I'm always freezing, and when I went to the doctor a week ago my temperature was 95.2. At home it sometimes reads in the 94s. My thyroid tests normal. Is anyone aware of anything else that would cause this problem? Thanks, Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Honestly I take dozens of temps everyday as I work in a hospital. It is rare anymore to find anyone who makes it to 98. Most are in the 97 range, even lower. It is never considered to be a problem. It is now the norm. Terry **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Terry - is it because they're all sick people in hospitals, or are healthy ones registering 97-ish too? Was it taken in the ear, under tongue...? Is body temp supposed to shift so much when you're sitting vs standing or when it's cold out or hot out? I have intolerance to cold and hot, and my temp was as low as 96.3 under tongue, and the highest has been 98.3 all within a few days. I was careful not to drink or eat for 30 min, and I tried to be sitting for 20 min. m - I started taking ADB5 Plus by Biotics. I was taking just adrenal cortex glandular, but my nutritionist recommended this one based on the muscle response test. My cortisol was through the roof when I had an unknown abscess in my tooth, so she wanted to give me something for it so the adrenals wouldn't crash. I haven't taken my temps recently, but I seem to be not so sensitive to hot and cold (or it's because I started dressing in layers). - that's very interesting! I have no idea how long I've had candida (I seem to have it in my brain, and I know for sure in my lungs), but it's good to know that I might find relief soon. It's just not coming fast enough!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 .. I've had lung problems for years. I've often wondered if candida is causing problems. What are your lung symptoms and are you sure its candida? IF you do research on it, it seems it only occurs (or is documented) in very sick people (like HIV etc patients). -m > > - that's very interesting!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 When I took Diflucan, within in 20 min my lungs start feeling irritated, and my nose runs, and my sinuses clear up a little bit. As the day goes on these symptoms subside, and when I take Diflucan again the following day the same thing happens. So most likely yeast is dying in these areas. I don't think you need to be very sick to have candida elsewhere in the body - some people reported having a lot of junk come out of their eyes after waking up, or heavy wax buildup in the ears. I think yeast can migrate just about everywhere if left untreated. On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 10:52 PM, M <yoonit@...> wrote: > .. > > I've had lung problems for years.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 M, lung problems usually relate to low glutathione, and that relates to lack of raw food in the diet, as the precursors must remain uncooked. Lung issues usually disappear with undenatured whey, selenium, vitamin C, B, and a smattering of other antioxidants. Duncan > > .. > > I've had lung problems for years.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi Duncan, My lung problems definitely did NOT clear up, although I took whey and selenium for almost a year, before I discovered my candida problem. I took the whey because I felt less hungry afterwards, and I had found out I ate too little protein. I had loads of raw food, took vitamins and resveratrol. And yet, I had to call 911 because I was nearly suffocating on several occasions. White slime was coming out of my lungs  that was candida. My lungs problems disappeared when I treated candida in the guts, and when I inhaled garlic odor or powdered nystatin. Basically, candida disappears when you eat the right stuff and take the right supplements. Whey and selenium are somehwere on that list, but pretty far down.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi, I will answer to that question as well, as I had severe lung problems for years, and it turned out it was candida. It started when I was in puberty, several times per year I had phases of 1 or 2 weeks, when I couldn¹t breathe normally, I felt I didn¹t get enough air into my lungs as if they where blocked by something. I tried to force it, yawning, taking deep breaths, expanding my rib cage by force, struggling like a fish out of the water. I thought it was asthma, or bronchitis and saw a few specialists, but nobody could find anything in spite of loads of tests. It was not hayfever, either. As I could still work, do sports, go out, sleep, feel good with it, I did not enquire further. I also suffered from frequent sinusitis It was only a few years ago, at the height of my candida troubles, that it became really bad. I had real attacks of suffocating, sometimes I was fighting for hours to get enough breath, in fear of dying. Sometimes after a deep breath, white goo was coming up my throat and out of my mouth. I had to call the emergency services to give me oxygen. The specialists I saw checked me for everything, heart condition, asthma, puncture of the lung, viruses, bacteria, etc. - but not candida ! By the way, the volume of my lungs was ok, and I did get enough oxygen, although I felt like I was suffocatin. Only one year later, when I did stool tests for my constant diarrhea and found out about candida, it dawned on me, that the lung condition might be due to that as well. I waited for another episode of suffocating, collected the white sputum that came out of my mouth and took it to the doctor. He first did not want to believe that it could be candida, because ³this is something that only terminal AIDS-patients in intensive care suffer from². And he also said: ³If you had candida in your lungs, you would be in hospital². Mind you, at that time, I had already been out of work since 5 years because I often was too weak to walk. I really BELONGED in a hospital, but as nobody knew the cause, they thought ³it¹s all in your head². When the result proved positive (candida had grown in a petri dish), my doctor still wouldn¹t believe it. ³That was candida contamination from your mouth or throat². So we did a candida test of the tongue, the cheeks and the throat  and they were negative ! We did the sputum test a second time, and it was positive again  hugely positive, they can tell by the amount of yeast growing in a petri dish in a given time. For a last confirmation, my doctor wanted to do a so-called bronchoscopy, where they insert tubes deep into the lungs and suck the mucus out. This is to prevent contamination by throat or mouth flora, and is seen as definite proof of overgrowth with a given microbe. But I never did it, because this is an extensive operation, where they put you under anaestetics. The problem was that I had to make the appointment 3 weeks earlier, and each time when the day arrived, I happened to have no lung problems. When I DID have lung problems, and called the doctor to ask: ³Can I come today, it¹s happening again ?² they were fully booked. On top of that, I had already started with my candida treatment, because my diarrhea was so severe, that I could not wait any longer. So my condition and my lung problems got better, before we could finally do the bronchoscopy. That means I do not have any definite proof of candida in the lungs, because some doctors still do not believe the sputum analysis. ³Too much scope for error² they say. And the official teaching is that candida in the lungs only happens when the patient is dying anyway (mostly from AIDS). I also called the manufacturer of Nystatin, and spoke to one of the scientists. She was quite shocked to hear I had it in my lungs, because that¹s a sign for a severe malfunction of the immune system (I do not only have candida, I also have chronical Epstein Barr, Chlamydia, Clostridia and several Herpes viruses. I am only 40 and on a pension for disability). What I have found out now is that the yeast can travel by the lymphatic system. Some of the lymphatic tubes have direct access to the intestines  they pick up fats to transport them to the heart, and also hostile microbes or fractions of them. Originally, this was intended as a communication path between intestines and immune system  hostile microbes can be presented to the immune system, in order to prepare an immune response. Unfortunately, in the case of candida, the clever yeast uses it to travel throughout the whole body (of course, only possible when the immune defense is down). And by this system, it can also reach other mucuses, like the lung and the sinuses. Unfortunately, this is often overlooked, when people talk about systemic candidiasis. Yeast does not necessarily travel through the blood, and you do not necesserily have leaky gut, if your candida leaps out from the gut. That¹s why the situation in my gut corresponded with the situation in my lungs and my sinuses  when I had a relapse with bloating and diarrhea, it would not take long and I had blocked sinuses and problems breathing. Probably there was an overpopulation in the gut, and some yeast decided to emigrate. On the other hand, when I was doing quite well on supplements, sinus and lung cleared up. @: Sorry to disagree with you, but Diflucan cannot act in such a way 20 min after ingestion. Normally, even beverages sit in the stomach for 1 - 2hours, before they are transported into the small intestine where their nutrients can be absorbed. Vegetables and fruit up to 4 hours, and longest is sardines with up to 9 hours ! And the medicine stays as long as the food or beverage it has been ingested with. According to the manufacturer, maximum plasma concentration and activity of Diflucan is 1  2 hours after ingestion, if taken without food and between meals. Second, it is impossible that yeast is dying 20min after you have taken a pill. Diflucan is not fungicide, it is FUNGISTATIC. This means it does not kill the yeast, but merely prevents it from growing and reproducing. This is why a treatment does take some time ! You have to take the medicine until the last yeast cell dies of old age. There are very few real fungicides. Amphotericin is one, garlic another one. So, sorry again, but from the ³symptoms² you describe it does not look to me like you really have candida OVERGROWTH in your lungs. An occasional yeast cell is normal and can be found in most lungs. Did you have any problems before you took Diflucan ? Any difficulties breathing or white mucus ? regards, Am 22.01.2009 15:40 Uhr schrieb " McCartney " unter <katie.mccartney@...>: > When I took Diflucan, within in 20 min my lungs start feeling irritated, and > my nose runs, and my sinuses clear up a little bit.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 , people who have candida in their brain, suffer from severe neurological disorders. For instance, they wouldn¹t be able to write a comprehensive e-mail and participate in a group. It is called fungal meningitis and some people do not survive this experience. Here is a desciption of the symptoms: ³The most frequent findings are fever, nuchal rigidity, altered mental status, confusion, headache, nausea and vomiting, disorientation, focal neurologic signs, and seizure activity. In children with VP shunt infections, a more subtle picture is described [436]. Characteristic findings in this age group include lack of nuchal rigidity and fever in only 1/3 of cases. More common are signs of shunt obstruction (progressive head enlargment is frequently found) and nonspecific symptoms such as poor appetite, poor activity, and vomiting.² http://www.doctorfungus.org/mycoses/human/candida/cns_neurosurgeryrelated.ht m Then there is the hypothesis  but it¹s only a hypothesis ! - that there is also a slow and chronical process, with no apparent signs of inflammation. These people develop lesions /plaques in their brain which are then often diagnosed as multiple sclerosis, alzheimer¹s disease or something similar. But again, this is a serious, debilitating condition. These people are often under home care and /or sitting in a wheelchair. The brain fog commonly associated with candida is caused by its toxins and by lack of vitamins and minerals. This can also be achieved by candida in the gut. regards, Am 22.01.2009 4:14 Uhr schrieb " McCartney " unter <katie.mccartney@...>: > - that's very interesting!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Duncan.. That's an interesting idea. Except that I take all those supplements already, except for whey, which I've tried numerous times which seemed to add to my phlegm. The only time I didn't have the phlegminess was years ago when I was doing juice fasting. So I've always suspected some sort of dysbiosis or protein allergies or...? My saliva test showed very low SIgA. Any thoughts on that? thanks, -m > > > > .. > > > > I've had lung problems for years. I've often wondered if candida is > > causing problems.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well, M, you're not taking undenatured whey so are you taking any glutathione precursors at all to reduce lung inflammation? I'd suggest trying a better or another undenatured whey product, even though you get some phlegminess, before using cystine, because many health benefits arise from using whey and selenium besides glutathione increase.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I thought Jarrow unflavored whey was on your " approved " list(?) But I repeat: it didn't help.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I did take Diflucan on an empty stomach for nearly a week. Today I happened to take it with my meal, and there was no irritation in the lungs/chest. Maybe it's just in my bronchial tubes or esophagus and not my lungs. I don't have mucus coming out, but I do feel like I can't get a deep breath in a lot of times. This has been going on for years (and I'm pretty sure I've had candida issues for years), but I attributed it to my chronic sinus congestion due to allergies. I'm also taking other antifungals (contains garlic), so that could be why I'm having these symptoms. Maybe they're working synergistically. I do metablize medications quickly - a 12-hr medication would only last 6-8 hours. According to Pfizer: " Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) in fasted normal volunteers occur between 1 and 2 hours " It's referring to peak, so it is possible to have side effects before that, right? How old does the yeast have to be before they die? Days? Weeks? I'm assuming days since only 1 Diflucan is usually prescribed to treat vaginal infections.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hi , you wrote: >Today I happened to take it with my meal, and there was no irritation in the lungs/chest. Maybe it's just in my bronchial tubes or esophagus and not my lungs. Or it has become resistant to Diflucan. This happens when you take Diflucan on and off, and don¹t ³pull it through² until you have solved your yeast problem. You are not killing yeast, you are just making it more resistant and teaching it how to defend itself against Diflucan. The same happens with antibiotics and bacteria  this is why you are required to take antibiotics till the end and not stop it after a few days. And yet there are loads of resistant bugs. >I don¹t have mucus coming out, but I do feel like I can't get a deep breath in a lot of times. This is what I had for 20 years, when I still considered myself ³healthy² but was full of yeast (I had all the other symptoms, like itchy anus, sugar cravings  but I was very very fit and strong !). Only when my health took a downturn, I started to produce white stuff and feel suffocated. >but I attributed it to my chronic sinus congestion due to allergies. I had chronic sinusitis, but there was no connection with allergies. Today I think it¹s candida as well, because it tends to get worse when the overall candida population grows. Candida strives well on mucus, and lungs, guts, throat, mouth, vagina and sinuses are all covered by mucus. >I'm also taking other antifungals (contains garlic), I am not taking antifungals that CONTAIN garlic, I eat whole garlic cloves. I guess that¹s more efficient. >It's referring to peak, so it is possible to have side effects before that, right? Well yes, but if your lung problems are caused by candida, then they should improve as soon as you are beginning to control / defeat candida. You might try inhalations with oil of oregano / garlic / nystatin powder / olive leaf extract, and see if there is any effect. Bring 1  2 litres of water to a boil, pour in a bowl, add a few drops of the etheric oil, bend over the bowl and cover everything with a big towel. Now inhale. I did that when it was really bad, and it helped. If your sinus problems are caused by candida, you might as well try a nose rinse with salt water or bicarbonate water (not too strong, it might irritate): close one nostril with a finger, and hold the other in the bowl with water. Now breathe in slowly, sucking up the water. As soon as the water reaches the back of your throat, spit it out. This requires some practice at the beginning, but it¹s great to heal your nose. There are also so-called Neti pots available, traditionally they are used by Indish yogis. >How old does the yeast have to be before they die? Days? Weeks? Sorry, no idea. >I assume it is days since only 1 Diflucan is usually prescribed to treat vaginal infections. Yes, and in most cases, this is for nothing. The yeast is coming back. All that you achieve with a ridiculus 1-day treatment like that is create Diflucan-resistant yeast strains. Doctors who prescribe such ³treatments² should be tared and feathered. good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hi m, I had problems after taking too much NAC. It can be toxic. I developed ³benign muscle fasciculations². This is little muscle tics or contractions, as some people have in their eyelid when they are tired. I had 24h a day on up to 5 different spots at the same time ! That went on for a year. Although it might be benign, it¹s a nuisance. I had problems finding sleep at night because those muscle cramps kept me awake. I would say: stay away from NAC. regards, Am 24.01.2009 1:41 Uhr schrieb " M " unter <yoonit@...>: > Shouldn't NAC (as a source of cysteine) help > with glutathione production? > > -m > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well, , it's better to not stop taking the undenatured whey and selenium anyway because the glutathione is crucial to health, and as you probably saw in the research, most lung problems are related to low glutathione. Using that info is how several people I know who had COPD or asthma stopped their symptoms. One even went off her oxygen and booked a trip that she wouldn't have otherwise. The second biggest contributor to asthma, not as common IMO, is low nitrous oxide, which relates to vein wall tonus. Arginine is made in low amounts from arginine and ornithine also in the whey. You can take more arginine or use Noni juice to increase nitrous oxide production. Toxins created by candida and dysbiosis are broken by glutathione of course, but the information applies to people with no candida symptoms as well.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 M, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a drug, an amine protected version of cysteine that is rapidly hydrolyzed in the body to the amino acid cysteine. This amino acid is toxic in its free form so NAC dosing is limited by its toxic side effects (such as headache, dizziness, blurred vision).
