Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Can any doctor order these tests? I went to my sliding scale clinic and that doctor was utterly convinced i do not have systemic candida ( i am a textbook case) and flat refused to even consider testing!!!!! Do I need an N.D., can i just find *any* doctor who would be inclined to take me seriously? (of course naturopathic medical people will be more open, will they not?) Thanks! Louise From: <dieguez.jorge@...> Subject: Re: systemic candida candidiasis Date: Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 4:38 PM I believe your dr tested candida antibody in blood igg, igm, and iga. It doesn't mean candida in blood. It means antibodies. When you have systemic candidiasis and you are immunecompetent, this test should show reliable results. If the test was negative and your immune system is working " properly " , you probably don't have systemic candida. This test can show false negative when the person is immune deficient. Candida immune complexes is a very reliable test to detect systemic candida. > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Any MD can order candida immune complexes test. IGM, IGG, IGA, are the 3 main antibody types found in blood. IGE can also help. If this test is negative and you don't have any severe immune deficient state, you don't have systemic candidiasis. Remember, the systemic concept is different when you evaluate intestinal candidiasis. When candida is in the gut, its toxins are able to cross the gut barrier and get the blood stream, so you are going to feel a general toxic state because these toxins are circulating in your body and affecting many organs. > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Worse than that, how many people die from causes that could be directly linked to candidia?

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I have some information posted on my blog: http://healingfromlupus.blogspot.com It just lists a few things I have tried myself (SCD, Nystatin) with some reference articles - the tags on the right should guide you to the related content. Currently I'm trying the Phase I diet by Cousens, MD. I'm raw vegan, so the switch wasn't as severe to me as it may be to someone who is consuming processed foods on a regular basis. I didn't find the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to be much help. The first time I took Nystatin it worked well, but this last time, I'm still having a hard time shaking the Candida. It probably had something to do with all of the sweet fruit I had in my diet. The candida started again because I came down with c. Difficile and a nasty parasite prior to going raw vegan. It landed me in the hospital a couple times so the doctors decided to try to treat them with a couple different kinds of antibiotics. A year later, I still have c. Difficile and am working to get the Candida under control. Fun times I'm pretty opposed to Diflucan. It works well, but is murder on the liver, and I don't have the strongest one to begin with. Cami > > I have a friend who began on LDN and has a worsening persistent sinus condition. We think it may be candida as it has not responded to a few courses of different antibitotics. Would someone please give me information about dealing with candida? Thanks very much in advance. > Jackie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I would imagine - and maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong - that most people don't know they have it until they hear about it and get tested for it.
