Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 What is the Yeast Busters? drink lots of distilled water, are you feeling ok? are your bowels moving 2-3 times a day? you need a colon cleanse with good ingredients (no sugar or yeast) herbs. if you have a reaction to one food do not eat it again for a while. let me know about these!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2000 Report Share Posted September 24, 2000 BTW, WELCOME to all the new members!! , You're not the only one who gets the red, burning face after eating something you're not supposed to. Last weekend, I had a beer at my mom's house and a little while later she worriedly asked, " , where did you get so sunburned at? " It's been in the 50's and 60's around here and rainy - not quite weather to get a sunburn in. She acted like I secretly took a trip to Florida or something...LOL. Well, she doesn't believe/understand the candida thing so I just told her I was allergic to the beer (close enough). ~ In a message dated 9/15/00 10:12:23 AM Central Daylight Time, jhedges@... writes: << hi there i am a new member to the loop. I was wondering if you could help me or send me in the right direction. I am taking the Yeast Busters Kit, and have radically changed my diet. My symptoms display temselves on my face. So far I am the only person I know that has this reaction. When I have something I am not supposed to I get the reddest burning face, and then I get almost blister like things on my cheeks. I know it sounds odd but it feels like I am burning from the inside out. It is not an attractive look. I was on an elimination diet for a month. That one was not strict enough, so I am super healthy woman, yet now my reactions to food seem to be changing (ie tomatoes, as of yesterday I cannot tollerate them) and getting worse. I was told that this is natural, it has to get worse to get better ... I am releasing toxins etc. My face was clearing up when I was just treating it with diet, but then when I added Yeast busters it went into a tailspin. Does this sound right to anyone? My other symptoms - yeast infections, allergies, and fatigue have all gone away, but this face thing is getting a bit much. Are there any websites or recommended books that may be helpful? I have all the important ones - Yeast Connection etc, but what i am looking for are specifically for strict elimination diets. thanks for listening have a great day >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 Matt: i would say it is a cleansing period. when i have experienced cleansing i have gone as much as 5 or more times in a day, consider it a good sign. do you feel better at the end of the day? i would think you would. try some other herbs with the diet. pick 4 or more & rotate them every 4 days & see how that does. I like Oreganol, other likes Tree Oil (i hope that's right) i've never used it, of course Garlic, I'm sure others will give you others. your doing good!

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 , I can't suggest an alternative medication for your thyroid, but if you have had cancer, you might want to consider some form of oxygen therapy and also parasite cleanses. You can find out about both on the oxyplus list at .groups. You might want to post your question on that list as well. And as far as cancer and parasites, you might want to look at Hulda 's book, "The Cure for all diseases." There is a supplement called IP6 that is supposed to kill cancer cells. I ordered it from someone online, but I would think it would be available at a health food store--if you know of a good one in your area.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 : Personally, I say Go Natural..... if you can get your doc to prescribe it! Ask for Armour..... I will be starting a product called Bio-Throid, My doc ordered it directly from the pharmaceutical company.... it combines the natural with the synthetic..... I've included the URL below... http://www.bio-tech-pharm.com/products/thyroid.html Also if you've had cancer, I suggest getting a book by Winters called "Killing Cancer" he has a whole protocol to use that includes Red Clover tops..... I've seen it work first hand when I was running a health food store.... Most ppl don't Stay on it indefinitely but they do repeat the protocol once every couple of months!

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 : Since you must have thyroid 'replacement" your best bet is Armour or West-throid, both pig thyroid extracts. These have the best thyroid sustainability and the least side effects. Suggest that you access www.hacres.com if you want overwhelming data that cancer can be reversed naturally.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 : Joy has some good suggestions. There are many natural remedies that can influence malignancy. None 'work' on their own. There needs to be an intensive program. Use Hulda 's work but integrate that with the Hallelujah Acres work.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 You have multiple hormone deficiencies. Rearranging T3 and T4 isn't going to fix you. You will need to take enough Armour plus DHEA, testosterone (progesterone?). Here's a quote from the old Broda site: Some potential symptoms of thyroid and endocrine imbalances : fatigue , dry skin , constipation , headaches , birth defects , diabetes , cancer , hair loss , chronic fatigue , high cholesterol , muscle weakness , overweight , underweight , depression , decreased sex drive , premature aging , PMS , hypertension , mental disorders , multiple sclerosis , nervousness , heart palpitations , intolerance to cold , intolerance to heat , allergies , fluid retention , arthritis/gout , osteoporosis , candida , infertility , repeated infections , brittle nails , endometriosis , memory impairment , heart attack/stroke , cystic breasts/ovaries , hyperinsulinemia , nutritional imbalances , low immune system , acne/eczema/psoriasis , low blood pressure , joint/muscle pain Thyroid imbalance can have an effect on every cell , tissue and organ of our body . Therefore , early diagnosis and treatment are vitally important in assuring maximum health and prevention of disease . Frequently , thyroid imbalance occurs in conjunction with other hormonal imbalances such as estrogen , progesterone , testosterone , DHEA , cortisol , growth hormone , melatonin and insulin . Identifying deficiencies and replacing these hormones can often have a profound positive effect on averall health .

My son's tests results aren't exactly like yours, but they are confusing his doctor (low T4, very low TSH, T3 was high). What I want to know is, should men with hypo be treated differently than women? My son's doctor didn't know of different treatments and so far, all I've read is that women tend to need a higher dose of thyroid. I just can't believe that's the only difference since our hormone make-up is different. Are there any doctors or programs who specialize in men with thyroid problems?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 First you need to get FREE T3 and T4 tests, the others are useless. needs adrenal hormones but just doesn't pay attention to this---your son might too.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hi Rob, Sounds like you are between a rock and a hard place. Do you have any short term disability through your work? Another tactic may be to file for disability if your doctor would be willing to say you could be out of work for as much as a year. With all the surgery, you might qualify. I would contact Social Security and see if they have any good suggestions. Believe it or not, sometimes they come through with just the right answer when you need it most.
