Candida

[Guest guest]

Basically it is using either salt tablets or salt dissolved in water along

with equal amounts of Vitamin C. (Do not use processed salt or salt with any

other ingredients in it).

One dose is 1g (1/4 teaspoon salt, 1,000mg C).

Its important it seems to ramp up slowly on it. When my wife first tried she

went too fast too soon and ended up with a massive Herx the first week! Not

a good idea it seems in retrospect!

Many folks have reported great success on it. There is a large support group

that primarily discuss this treatment at

lymestrategies/

I have a large collection of testimonies etc on my free Lyme resource CD

about this protocol. Email if you would like a free postpaid copy of this

computer cd. (see the files section of the lyme-aid group for more info on

it)

Shirley, the Vitamin C/salt cure is an alternative way to treat lyme disease.

Since I have a Candida overgrowth, I cannot take antibiotics, which would kill

beneficial bioorganisms and allow the Candida to spread more widely. The Salt/C

is a program in which a person takes a gram of salt with a gram of vitamin C for

each ten pounds of body weight, four times daily until symptoms go away.

From everything I've read, the antibiotics don't work anyhow, at least in the

long run. They do appear to kill off lyme disease for a time, but most cases

I've read about show it reappearing in time.

I have success in controlling some of my candida issues with a soil based

probiotic called Prescript Assist. It is a great product. I have had several EI

dr's tell me to pour some of a capsule into my coffee enemas as another way to

expedite it into the guts.

Don't know anything about the salt/vit. c cure as have high blood pressure and

can't do that much salt.

Good luck,

Shari

[ ] Candida

Just got a call from the nurse of the doctor that I went to last week, saying

I tested positive for candida. Is this caused by lyme?

Thanks

I have incredible candida problems, going back decades. Yes, it's

related: fighting Lyme distracts the immune system to the point where

it can't take care of the usual business, like handling candida.

Furthermore, the gut problems endemic to Lyme lead to " leaky gut "

syndrome, which makes it very easy for gut bugs like yeasts to get

into the bloodstream and spread.

What it meant for my treatment is that i have to be *exceedingly*

careful about managing gut flora, even more than most Lymies on long-

term abx. Rampant systemic candida is one of the three or four worst

things that can happen during treatment; in my case (and, apparently,

yours) we're already well down that road to start with. It's not a

good place to be.

My LLMD started me off on a full month of daily Diflucan -- which is a

snootful!-- to cut the yeast problem down to size before I took a

single antibiotic pill. Just that much made me feel incredibly better.

I've been on Nystatin daily throughout; and managing the yeast is also

the major reason I take those month-long drug holidays. After four or

five months of abx, my system is so overloaded with yeast I can't

function, and I need the time off to clear it all out again.

Be sure to discuss this in some depth with your LLMD, and ask how s/he

plans to manage it. You will need daily doses of probiotic yogurt (not

sweetened), plus a couple of good probiotic supplements (the best ones

are found in the fridge at the health food store). These should be

taken at least an hour away from your antibiotics, either before or

(better) after. In addition, I can recommend a product called

Threelac, which is a probiotic that's specifically aimed at keeping

candida at bay.

You probably already know that eliminating white food -- and

especially refined sugars -- from your diet is also a really good

idea, to the extent that you can manage it. I also avoid yeast breads

and beer. Other people find it necessary to steer clear of wine and

cheese, but I don't seem to have trouble with those.

Sara, thank you for the info, I will definately make sure my LLmd addresses it,

as I'm sure he will anyway. Thanks

Bridget,

Make sure the LLMD is very specific about dietary restrictions. I have

eliminated all refined sugar, carbs such as pasta (that's tough--I love pasta) &

bread, caffeine, and alcohol. I miss wine & beer--but they definitely feed

yeast!

Sorry you have to deal with Candida, but this too shall pass.

Dara, not sure, it was a blood test though, and a homeopathic MD, she said most

doctors don't believe in it.

well that explains it. I have been thinking about seeing a naturopath along

with the LLMD, so maybe I can find out more there.

Alot of LLMDs are actually homeopathic doctors, is yours?

By definition of LLMD they are not a homeopathic doctor.

LLMD stands for lyme literate medical doctor.

There are some very rare doctors who are both an MD and Homeopathic doctor

though, such as Dr Blaylock but I don't think he is a LLMD.

+++Hi there. Wlcome to our group. Is your name ?

I'm so glad you found us too, since you will discover that this program is the

most successful because it provides your body with what it needs to healing

itself naturally, the way Nature intended. It is mainly done with " proper

(they also feed bacteria and cancer) and eliminating toxins and damaging foods.

You may have many ups and downs while on this program, when you will suffer with

retracing past illnesses, injuries, etc. and experience die-off, detoxifying and

Just wondering if there is a natural remedy for candida instead of

diflucan? I am currently on doxy and clindamyacin both oral. I have a

prescription for diflucan but would rather do natural if I can,

Bridget

[Guest guest]

Diflucan is good stuff. Unlike most of the abx we take, it has virtually no side

effects, and it's much better than nystatin at knocking out candida.

And, as a side bonus, it's one of the better drugs going for busting up Lyme

cysts, which may be why your doctor gave it to you.

No natural treatment -- and precious few antibiotics -- can do this. And since

getting rid of the cysts is one of the toughest parts of clearing Lyme, taking

the Diflucan is pretty important.

Sara:

What dose Diflucan do you take?

Thank you,

PS You are my inspiration! One of your posts about the ambiguity of

rejoining real life really resonated with me. I fantasize so much about the

extremes (i.e. when I'm well I'll bicycle in Viet Nam) but I also think

about what it might be like to just have a normal life again, go grocery

shopping, take the subway, go to my kids' school events, etc..

Thanks for the kind words.

My doctor has me on grapefruit seed extract (NOT grape seed) and Viracin plant

tanins. These are both natural antifungals. I know people with candida who

have also had success using capryolic (sp?) acid.
