Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi , Yeast symptoms are different for all kids, but for ours were pretty straight forward, like any yeast infection we had; itchy, redness, pain upon urination, etc. Yes, we just use the adrenal cortex in addition to potassium, C and lots of B5. She eats plenty of protein and frequent meals. She is doing great with the Armour and just the supplements, just get a good adrenal cortex. I found one from Nutricology that is organic, fwiw. 250 mgs of adrenal cortex, 2 x a day. No, we are not sugar free, she is 5, we try to limit the sugar, but you know, it's summer and she likes her ice cream. Doesn't seem to awaken the yeast. Hope your girl does well with the chelation. [ ] Re: Yeast is GONE! , This sounds like wonderful news. Excuse my ignorance, but how do you know that the yeast is gone? What are the symptoms that have disappeared? (The whole yeast issue has me somewhat perplexed). I can't recall if you decided to use the adrenal cortex extract for adrenal support or not? Does your dear girl follow an adrenal friendly diet (no sugar, frequent meals, frequent protein)? I have not 'seen' yeast myself, with my own chelation, but I am following these discussions closely because I have a daughter (with adrenal problems) to chelate.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 If she gets yeast with chelation while eating sugar, she may self-limit. Yeast infections are very uncomfortable. The worst part is the simple carbohydrate craving (which turns into sugar) with yeast. When we saw her doing that, we redirected to fruit (still a carbohydrate, but complex carbohydrates). That was somewhat helpful. Better yet if you can redirect it to protein, but not always possible. Her favorites were saltines, but we found an acceptable organic whole grain cracker that she did " almost " like as much as the white flour saltine. Still saying, for us, you could not connect the yeast with how much white sugar things she consumed, so limiting sugar may be the magic bullet for some, but not everyone. [ ]/was: Re: Yeast is GONE! > My girl is 18. I won't be able to control her sugar intake at all. > I'm finding out that it's a good idea to chelate kids before they hit 18. Yep. I'm finding that it's immeasurably easier to control my kids' diet than my own. One thing that helps me is to go off sugar for 2 weeks and then re-evaluate -- I need to kind of lie to myself about how long and start to feel a lot better before committing, if that makes any sense. Any chance yu could convince her to do no-sugar for a very short while, just as an experiment?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 They only way I could go no sugar was to keep GSE handy. Within hours I was craving sugar like crazy...like I would have chewed through a bag of sugar if it meant I could have some! The GSE helped a lot and then having lots of different foods that tasted good around was also what helped me do it. When the food ran low it made it very easy to cheat and fall off the wagon. Maybe plan out a great menu for a week or two...make it more fun? That and removing as many sugar foods as possible. That is what I am going to have to do to get myself back on the wagon. I did feel better, no GI issues at all, a first for me. HTH, lanellici <lanellici@...> wrote: > My girl is 18.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 LOL, not ever having had yeast, I guess this was optimistic, boy, makes cocaine sound like tame stuff. You might try the Transfer Factor, I swear it is the colostrum that has ridded us of the yeast. Keeping her on it for 3-4 months, then just doing 3-4 days a month, will keep you posted, but it is gone. [ ]/was: Re: Yeast is GONE! > > If she gets yeast with chelation while eating sugar, she may self-limit. If only. The self-limiting has worked very well with artificials, but everyone in my family (including me!) is more than willing to put up with pain/rotten moods for sugar. In moments of yeast-free sanity we can make better choices, but once yeast gets going none of us is rational and we'd sell our grandmother for a chocolate chip cookie.

I tried TF ages ago, but there was so much going on then I couldn't tell what was what. Congrats on your girl getting past the yeast -- that is wonderful .

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Well I sure hope it works for you. If yeast is a product of a dsyregulated immune system like Andy has been saying forever, then it makes sense that boosting the immune system would make the yeast disappear. The yeast did become more manageable about round 40, meaning we were able to treat it and have it abate consistently, but it never left completely. This is different than the 50 rounds commonly reported, but we always did 3.5 days so thinking our 40 rounds would equal at least 50, 3-day rounds. Since this is the only thing we have changed, just the TF chewables for the last month, have to think that is it. They now have an advanced formula, which is what we use. It comes in chewables and also capsules. Might be a coincidence, but certainly worth a try. Wondering if we should push our luck and add some antivirals....
