Re: Body cleanses

[Guest guest]

I haven't done any cleanses, but I was told that candida is in higher incidence

with diabetes. Someone did ask about colon cleanses right after I joined the

list. It must have been a couple days before you joined cause I think we joined

within a week of each other.

Body cleanses

Hi,

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

liver, candida) since being diagnosed? I did a few last year but went from

being borderline to diabetic (not that I think the cleanses brought it on as

they 'should' be great for you).

I am specifically interested in the candida cleanse at this point as it is

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

Yes, candida is definitely up there with illnesses such as diabetes, MS and many

many others. I just wanted to be sure it was " safe " do to a cleanse as I'm not

positive my doctor will be " up " on body cleanses, although he is an excellent

doctor and very up on treatments with alternative meds so he may surprise me!

While diabetics can have an increase in candida infections, that

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

Candida is everywhere in the environment. Even if you

could " cleanse " the body of candida, which is extremely doubtful, it

would be right back in a matter of days.

Thanks Debi - I'll talk to my doc about it. Just seems odd now that I have the

sugar under control - maybe I need to try the diflucan. (though not looking

forward to being sick - but glad I have been forwarned!)

Re: Body cleanses

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.

Hi Sandy,

Ive been taking a lot of Diflucan lately - I just did six months of chemo, and

had the yeast infection from hell - and I really mean hell. I ended up taking

200mg a day of Diflucan during each chemo cycle, life would have been unbearable

without it.

Actually, one of the symptoms when I was diagnozed T.2 was a yeast infection

which would not quite go away.

It was explained to me at the cancer clinic, that because I was a diabetic, I

would always be prone to yeast infections, it kinda goes with the territory,

My GYN told me that if you use the same kind of anti-fungal over time

it loses effectiveness. Just wanted to throw that out there in case

you find the diflucan isn't working.

HTH, and get better soon!

Hi a,

I knew about the candida and type 2 diabetes - I have had problems since I was a

teenager unfortunately but didn't expect it to get worse after diagnosis

recently and getting sugars under control. Doesn't make sense. Wonder if years

of too much candida in your system can bring on diabetes?!

I am glad you are a survivor and hope you are doing well by the way. My mother

in law is battling breast cancer.
