Hi,

Has anyone on this group done any type of body cleansing (colon,

parasite, liver, candida) since being diagnosed? I am specifically

interested in the candida cleanse at this point as it

is directly related with so many health issues (excess candida).

Hi Sandy,

I don't know anything about cleanses, (I'm assuming you mean some enema-

type procedure) but I once took something called Yeast Buster ( I think

that was the name!) which I bought at a health food store on the

recommendation of a homeopathic doctor and it really helped me

tremendously. If I remember, it is a 30 day course of stuff you mix up

in a blender and drink. However, if you have a candida problem, while

Yeast Buster will help you, you will also need to follow up during and

after that with a yeast-free diet. Have you ever seen a book called The

Yeast Connection? Great book with lots of good information, I found it

quite helpful. YOu should be able to get it at any library or used book

store.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the link. I am still having problems despite my sugar being well

controlled so I was hoping a cleanse might help but maybe not.

While diabetics can have an increase in candida infections, that

should not be the case once your blood sugar is controlled.

Hi Caroline - the cleansing I'm referring to is oral - (no enemas for me thanks

;o)

I eat very little yeast products now that I'm diabetic and assumed with no

sugar and low carbs I would be done with the yeast problems. I think I have

that book actually somewhere in my miriad of books to read - lol. Will have to

see if I can find it. I take probiotics daily and eat the low carb yogurt

almost daily as well.

Thanks for your help.

Sandy, I kept having yeast infections and my doc prescribed diflucan.

I took it and the next day was so sick hubby had to call in to work to

take care of the kids, I was so dizzy I couldn't raise my head off the

pillow. Turns out I was having " die-off reaction " . When you have lots

of fungus in your body and it dies off quickly it can really make you

sick.

Good thing about the diflucan, I didn't suffer from a yeast infection

for YEARS after that. It can get systemic and in those cases a

systemic medication is about the only thing to treat it. Since then I

try to take probiotics to help encourage the " good stuff " in my gut to

grow. The more good stuff the less bad stuff can have room. Other good

treatments can be grapefruit seed extract -- but be sure to check for

drug interactions! I'm not giving medical advice, just sharing what

worked for me and Allie. People with autism often have metal poisoning

and for some reason the mercury causes yeast to grow.

There's no way to 100% rid yourself, to my knowledge, but being

proactive can keep it in check.
