Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 In your case pghaworth going the " cheapest " route will involve a lot more elimination, of any flour or starch product, any grains including fancy grains, gluten-fee grains and corn (a big grain) starchy veggies such as sweet potatoes, yams. You should try to use undenatured whey, selenium, butter, coconut oil, and inulin in your regular diet. This is actually also part of an anti-aging approach. Someone else can answer on the GSE; in my opinion it doesn't do much in the bowel and you may like to use also some of the alternatives. Duncan > > Hello all.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thank you Duncan. I have already eliminated all of the things you have mentioned. I am still taking the GSE but I am also using garlic now. I found some very good supporting info on the use of it for eliminating candida so we'll see what happens. I'm still hopeful that someone can give me some info on GSE tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Apple cider ivnegar is cheaper than grapeseed extract and it doesnt destroy the good bacteria. The obvious thing that is missing from your treatment regime is probiotics which puts back the good bacteria. On the net somewhere (since money is an issue) there is a recipe using cabbage which you let stand for three days. It's called cabbage rejuvenix and is a lot cheaper than using probiotics. Its also important to make sure that your food is all being digested as undigested food (which is common in people with yeast infections) attracts yeast. Apple cider vinegar (preferably raw unpasteurized) also aids in digestion. I'm a single Mum and I found it to be wonderful stuff. It got reid of a urinary tract infection that had become immune to antibiotics and everything else that I tried. hugs - helen From: pghaworth <pghaworth@...> Subject: Grapefruit Seed Extract candidiasis Received: Friday, 8 May, 2009, 7:45 AM Hello all.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thank you Helen. I am taking probiotics as of yesterday. It is the final prong in my approach unless I find something else I just have to add. I upped the GSE to 3x a day so hopefully that will help. I'll keep your tip about the ACV in mind, as money continues to tighten. How would you take Apple cider vinegar? This is one recommendation I hadn't previously heard. Also, how do I " make sure that your food is all being digested " ? Thanks again. > > Apple cider ivnegar is cheaper than grapeseed extract and it doesnt destroy the good bacteria.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi Duncan, its a long time since I've seen your posts. Are you not on the silver list anymore? Anyway, I have a question for you which is: I thought at one time you said Jarrow whey was undenatured but I have since found that it isn't. Did I get that wrong, because I am now trying to find an un-denatured whey here in the UK but can't. They all seem to be pasteurized Have you any suggestions? dee -- Re: Grapefruit Seed Extract In your case pghaworth going the " cheapest " route will involve a lot more elimination, of any flour or starch product, any grains including fancy grains, gluten-fee grains and corn (a big grain) starchy veggies such as sweet potatoes, yams.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 A lady on this list cured herself of candida by taking around 7 acv capsules per day and around the same number of probiotic capsules in the evenings, and cut out the sugar etc and thats all she did. But the typical recommended dose that I have seen is a tablespoon of acv in water twice a day, which is what I'm taking. Great for chronic fatigue syndrome as well.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Okay Helen, now you have my FULL attention. I have diagnosed FM and suspected first that I have CFS but haven't found a doctor yet, nor do I have the money. What does ACV do for CFS and how exactly does it help? > > A lady on this list cured herself of candida by taking around 7 acv capsules per day and around the same number of probiotic capsules in the evenings, and cut out the sugar etc and thats all she did. > > But the typical recommended dose that I have seen is a tablespoon of acv in water twice a day, which is what I'm taking.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Please understand that I dont claim to be an expert by any means. Apple cider vinegar contains malic acid that is claimed to relieve the severity of muscle pain in fibromyalgia. It needs to be the sort that contains " the mother " and is unpasteurized. In Australia where I live, that means you need to buy it from a health food shop and not the supermarket. It costs me around $5 for a bottle which I believe contains 500ml (I cant put my hands on it at the moment unfortunately). That would equte to around $4 in the US. I dont know hwere you come from. One person that gave a testimonial for acv was taking up to 5 tablespoons per day in water to get the relief from fibromyalgia effects. I take it to a 93 year old lady who I know in a nursing home. All her fingernails were falling off due to fungal infections. I got her to soak in it in a 50/50 solution of water. Her fingernails repaired in two weeks. the acv also brought her blood pressure down. She suffered with very high blood pressure. As acv is so cheap and as I am a single mum, it was something I could afford to do for her. I find it's great for chronic fatigue - though the first couple of times I took it, there was some sort of detox effect, but I persisted and then got the benefits.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 My new LLMD prescribed a liquid form of grapefruit seed extract, but I find the taste repulsive! I put 12 drops into water and the taste was so awful I couldn't finish it. I'm curious to know what others' experience has been with GSE. Do you take capsules? Is there a " magic fruit juice " (LOL) that blocks the flavor? Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking about buying my own capsules, then putting the 12 drops per dose he recommended into the capsule right before I take it. Has anyone done that? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Kelley, Yes, I'm going to buy the caps. The liquid comes out in little drops, so it might not be too messy (if I can get my Lyme tremors to relax for a few minutes!). Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
