Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi Duncan, Thanks, I'll do what I can. I have not heard of scottish thistle root or anything like that, but if I have a list of inulin foods, I maybe able to go through them and find out what we do have. I have the selenium, I'll take that too. Would you say the most important supplements are - selenium, a green food supplement, undenatured whey, inulin? what about a fish oil supplement, vitamin C, vitamin E? . > > , > > You're at a definite disadvantage and your road to health will be > much more difficult without the cash to buy supplements.

Wecome to our group. > > Now, I will try to keep this short, I have Candida mostly in the neck and throat.Also my neck has turned a stained red which varies in intensitie with pain. (my painometer) I have a substantial supply of Nystatin suspension and Fluconazol pills. I was presribed these by a > doctor that I can no longer see because he does not take insurance > and my paying him $200 a week is impossible. I talked with my last > doctor who recently retired and he said not to take either without a doctor monitoring liver/kidneys. ==>Nystatin suspension can contain sugar, so check it to make sure it doesn't. Even nystatin powder can be perscribed and dispensed incorrectly - it must not be the kind that contains talcum powder which is only intended for external use. That said, nystatin will not harm the liver in any way because it does not get past the digestive tract. However Fluconzol will do damage liver, and the doctor was right that it shouldn't be taken without monitoring. However, natural antifungals do not cause any problems, except they do create die-off symptoms. I recommend you start on the diet first, plus supplements, which kills off a lot of candida, according to my candida program, along with coconut oil and Pau D'Arco tea which are antifungals too. Please read through my main candida article thoroughly so you understand why you start this way, and when to add one of the natural antifungals I recommend. ==>Since my website is suspended, you will find my candida article on the Group's Files (see the left menu). > He was also steadfast in his belief that my teeth were the cause of this problem although he would not give it the name of candida. The doctor that I cant afford gave it that name after a fecal test. Well here is the dilemne. I had my teeth removed a few weeks ago.

The only way I could sleep last night was after 2 percocets (left over from teeth removal) which dont do anything for the pain but did allow me to sleep even if only for a few hours. Please dont tell me to go to a doctor, I have seen most of the yellow pages and was at one Tuesday, he took blood and said return in 3 months. SCREW DOCTORS. > > I am sure that my teeth had some to do with this, but I also had some major shoulder surgeries.

And when I am coughing that stuff up, that is the expedition from hell! ==>I understand where you are coming from about doctors Ron. We've all had similar feelings and experiences. I believe your neck and throat was mainly caused by having your mercury fillings removed which released the mercury mostly into your throat and neck. There are very precise procedures dentists must follow when they remove them. > > My bottom line question is this, what can I do short term to > alleviate this pain. Vodka and grapefruit dont work either. ==>You are better of getting a pure white willow bark at the health store - it won't do damage to your body but it will help with pain. Also oil of oregano is just as powerful a pain killer as morphine, but because it is antifungal you can't use much of it right now. However, you can sniff the bottle. < Also, should I just take the Nystatin and Fluconazol? ==>No, I suggest you stop taking them, and start on my diet and take all of the supplements like I recommended above. Later you can take the nystatin but not the Fluconazol. > At this point, its not like I have anything to lose just because I am not paying some educated idiot to monitor my blood and maybe give me the results in a few months. Also, due to my teeth being removed, I have lost 20 pounds since May 24th, I am kind of limited on what I can eat, but a lot of eggs, soups pasta and fish. I dont see why that would cause this sudden onset of pain, or is it possible that it is the " die-off " from having my teeth yanked? Regaurdless, I would appreciate your comments for short term relief. ==>You should not eat pasta my friend - re-check your whole diet against my lists - see the handy lists in our Group's files (left menu) in the Candida Diet Folder. > > PS sorry so long, but this has been one hell of a ride and is awfully hard to condense. ==>No worries Ron. I highly recommend Bee's Raw Egg Drink, but as my article states always start coconut oil and butter at low amounts (they are both antifungal) and only gradually increase them every 4-5 days so your die-off symptoms aren't so severe - even nausea is a die- off symptom. See the Group's file (left menu) for the Recipe Folder - I think it is in with drinks. ==>Also do everything you can to detoxify - there's some information in my main candida article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " and I wrote another one on how to detoxify effectively but I will have to email you that article later. Did you know that good saturated fats chelate out mercury and other heavy metals? I suggest you slather the outside of your throat with butter and apply wet heat to it as much as you can. Do not put a heating pad directly on, but you can use a hot hand towel and put the heating pad over it. ==>Also start on vitamin C; get ascorbic acid crystals and baking soda and mix them 50/50 - start with 4,000 mgs and take 1,000 mg every hour until you reach bowel tolerance (loose stools), and then back off a little on the amount. If you do not reach bowel tolerance increase the dose 500 mg until you get loose stools. Keep increasing the amount that causes bowel tolerance every 3 days to a higher amount up to whatever your body can handle, which I suspect will be around 20,000 mg per day or more. Do not ever stop taking large amounts of vitamin C suddenly - gradually decrease it the same way you increased it. ==>Also start on vitamin B complex and buy niacin (B3) separately. You need to take 50 mg vit. B complex twice a day and also start with 50 mg niacin twice a day - ensure you do not buy the non-flushing kind nor niacinamide because they won't help like " true " Niacin (B3). Keep taking the same B complex every day, but increase the niacin every 3-4 days by 50 mg - therefore on day 4 take 50 mg niacin 3 times a day; on day 8 take 100 mg twice a day and so on. You will get a niacin flush which causes itching, tingling, redness and flushing, particularly around the head, ears, face and neck. That's a good thing and it is important for detoxifying and for oxygenating the blood. ==>The other supplements are very important too so get started on them as soon as you can. The whole program works together to give your body what it needs to heal itself. At the same time do not push your body too much. Except for the vitamin C and niacin treatments above take the recommended doses of everything else. I hope that gets you off to a good start Ron.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi Bee, Thanks for the informative answer. I was reading your website for a couple days prior to disconnection. Hopefully this can all be worked out shortly. I have made a list of the things that I need per your recommendations, but I can't find anything about the pau d arc tea. Is this a recipe or a supplement that is available? Oh and you were right, the Nystatin suspension is only a meager 50 % sucrose. Imagine that little detail.

You can purchase tea bags in most health food stores which give the directions on the package. Or you can find the raw Pau D'Arco bark that is made into a tea - the instructions are in my main candida article. For more info on Pau D'Arco see the groups files (left menu) and look for the Candida Antifungal Folder. Pau D'Arco is also known as taheebo or L'Pacho. Imagine putting 50% sucrose into a candida treatment? Did you know that when antibiotics were first made into pills they were coated with nystatin because they " knew " antibiotics caused candida overgrowth?

Start with 1 teaspoon 2-3 times a day and only gradually increase it by 1 tsp every day to minimize die-off reactions. It is also better to have it with meals that contain protein. Try Bee's Raw Egg Drink, which is in the " C) Recipe " Folder in our Files - find it under Drinks. Pau D'Arco tea is considered a mild antifungal but you might have to start with less per day and only gradually increase it too. " More is not better. " Allow time for your body to adjust to each increase, otherwise you overwhelm it and you will have more symptoms. Since the main focus should be towards building up the immune system, even antifungals aren't that important, except coconut oil and butter because they provide so many other health benefits in addition to being antifungal.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 > Hi Dave, I felt compelled to reply to you. I took about three tablespoons of coconut oil yesterday (just started the diet) and had one of the worst nights of my life (am also daking Pau'arco tablets). I (sorry to be specific) vomited the whole night! I could not imagine my stomach to hold so much food. Was really an eye opener (or shall I say stomach opener). From what I have been reading it looks like it could be die-off or I over did it but I think coconut must be so powerful that it should be approached with caution. Bee does say start slowly. It feels great to have a falt belly though! best wishes Perihan > i take up to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil at the time. about 1 hour > later i always have enourmus stomach hurt and headdache for about 3 > hours. i´have not thought i get some die off only by coconut oil or i > am false? the only thing i take at the moment among coconut oil is > pea´d arco tea. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vomiting is one of the ways the body gets rid of toxins. Luv, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 > > hi: > > i've been very strict with the diet for a little less than a week and > i can't tell if what i'm experiencing is die off or not. i don't feel > like i have the flu or anything; however, i have horrible bloating and > gas...my clothes barely fit. i'm fatiguing easier than usual. is > this die off? and will it end soon? these are the reasons i went on > the diet in the first place! Hi there. What is your name please? Bloating, fatigue, gas, etc. are also die-off symptoms. Candida produces carbon dioxide when it is being killed off, which is gas. There are numerous symptoms caused by candida, which occurs both when it is overgrowing and when it is being killed off. To understand healing symptoms see this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php Here's a good article about fatigue and candida: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat10.php The best to you, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Sorry, I forgot to answer your question about " how long such symptoms last. " Since such symptoms are caused by the body working hard at healing itself, how long they last is dependent upon a number of factors: 1) How closely you follow the diet and take all of the supplements. 2) How long you've been unhealthy. 3) How much damage was done to your body by poor nutrition, candida, and other illnesses, etc. 4) What your parents' " nutritional status " was upon your conception. 5) Your mother's diet and toxic levels while you were in the womb. 6) The levels of other types of toxins in your body. There may be other factors as well. Healing naturally isn't pleasant but it is necessary for the body to get through it in order to detoxify and to re-build. Also, during natural healing the body will " retrace " all previous illnesses, diseases, injuries, medical and dental treatments, etc. according to Hering's Law of Cure: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu1_1_2.php Getting well isn't a steady uphill climb toward health, where you feel better and better everyday. It has its ups and downs, but as time goes on your good days will increase and your bad days will decrease, and eventually, if you follow this program, long enough, you won't have any symptoms like me! It took a long time for your body to get into this poor condition, and it take 1 month of natural healing for every year you've been unhealthy, which for most people nowadays is since they were conceived. You have to decide for yourself whether you want to heal your body naturally or not. It is very tough to do, but well worth it. You'll also learn how to maintain your health life-long. You are lucky, since you've discovered you have candida and can do something about it, while other people are waking up one day with cancer and have no hope.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I have been reading in the group about die off. What does that mean cold die off, yeast die off, herpes die off etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hello Cordell, I've started on a candida diet around the 1st of june. I admit i've fell off the wagon here & there but i've been feeling probaly just like you. Some days I feel like I'm on death's bed. I've been getting pains I've never had before muscle spasms, muscle twitches, muscle aches,headaches, jaw aches,mood swings, etc. I think you get my point. I started on the candida diet when suddenly i seemed to have acid reflux after a year of being on antibotics alot. It's been very hard especially since I have a 5yr old & 18 month old baby. I feel really bad for them because its hard for me to be the mother I want to be to them right now. I'm right there with you on how your feeling. I guess it takes time & how bad & how long you've had candida to start to feel good again & get past all the die off symptoms.

I also had it, along with severe acid reflux, stomach ulcers, cramps, gas, bloating, etc. until I cured my candida over 20 years ago. > > So anyway, after trying many different " cleanses " , raw food diet, and even fasting to no avail, I luckily stumbled across Bee's page on Candida.

Many symptoms will also come and go during the healing process, in addition to your body " retracing " all previous symptoms, illnesses, diseases, organ malfunctions, injuries, etc. - see these two articles to understand more about the healing processes: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal2.php http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php There are other moments of course where I feel like I have lots of energy and focus. But I'm getting all kinds of weird feelings ie. mood swings, tingling, weird pains in different parts of my body, weird feelings in my head and eyes and the list goes on. +++Those are all typical symptoms. Many people experience emotional ups and downs too, which is explained in that 2nd article above. > > From what I've read this is most likely what is called die-off. But I guess I just need some validation and some encouragement to continue on with this diet. It definately isn't easy... +++You can be assured that your body will heal itself the way Nature intended IF you continue on this program long enough. Please ensure you are taking all of the supplements too, since the diet and supplements work together. +++Be sure to follow the steps recommended in Curing Candida, How to Get Started: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php +++For encouragement and inspiration see these wonderful Success Stories by members of this group: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/success/index.php The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
