Guest guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 HI , CS seems to stuff me up more. I just gave up. I have asthma so it just seemed to make me miserable. I have Olive Leaf...duh...just remembered. Mine says to take only 2 capsules per day...should I take more since I am fighting something? I have 500 mg. capsules. It says 6% Oleuropein..whatever that means. Thanks again for the help...I just would like to avoid the antibiotics...but a couple more days like this and I am going to take them. moons --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 I am so thankful that this list talked me into taking MSM. It has helped with my asthma so much!! I haven't had to take my inhalers at all like I used to. I think this is either viral or bacterial, because I just keep getting a little worse everyday. I doubled up on my olive leaf ...I started it last night. 2-500mg. capsules in the am and 2 in the pm. I don't feel like I am worse today...so that is a good sign. Only time will tell. Otherwise I will break out the anti-biotics. moons ---Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).Version: 6.0.264 / Virus Database: 136 - Release Date: 7/2/2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 , Thanks for the information on how much Olive Leaf to take. As far as the CS, it stuffs me up like an allergic reaction. I get more congested, but I also feel like my nasal membranes have swollen as not to let enough air through...it is not a good feeling at all. I had it with a medication I once took...I start feeling smothered...like a bad asthma attack. So if I do decide to take the anti-biotic...I should be alright if I keep up with the anti-fungal herbs? I will give the Olive Leaf a few days and then decide. Thanks everyone for putting up with the whining of me me me me me...LOL *hugs* moons (who's not sleeping tonight....gonna go take some more olive leaf...nite.) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 I am glad your book told us how to take the biotin. I was under the impression that taking one dosage in the morning was enough. This could be important information if you want to get well. Do it right! LIZ D Re: DAVE Dave, You have to leave all sugar alone for the first couple weeks...then introduce the natural sugar (as in fruit) a little at at time. Eat it in the morning only and limit it to 1/2 cup. Also some fruits have more sugar than others. I read in my book (The Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook) that if you take biotin after every meal it helps keep the yeast from growing as fast. I need to read this book from cover to cover! I am starting again on this diet strict. I varied from the diet slightly yesterday and am paying for it today! UGH! moons --- rabbitbrain@... --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Nice information Moons, I saved this on my disk. No more relying on that stupid archive search and my bad memory. Thanks! Liz D LIZ Health and Guidelines for Candida Control This is from Zoltan's book..I am going to paraphrase a bit. This is after you have the candida under control...I think it is good info. Do not eat any sweets on an empty stomach. Have a meal first or a complex carb. or protein snack before desserts or sweets. Do not eat sweets first during a meal. If having eggs and pancakes, eat the eggs first, then the pancakes if they include syrup. If the pancakes are plain or covered unsweetened , cooked fruit sauce, they are not a sweet and can be eaten first in a meal. If having sweet applesauce with a meal, eat a quarter of the meal or several bites before the applesauce is eaten. If possible eat desserts 1 to 1 1/2 hours after a full meal of foods. If possible, limit desserts to one serving daily. Everytime you eat a real sweet food or dessert, take a biotin tablet(300-500micrograms). This helps inhibit the yeast and keep new yeast from growing. Up to 2 or 3 tablets can be taken daily(300-1500micrograms). Take on B-50 complex daily as well as using the biotin. Take a vitamin b-50 complex once or twice daily for life and at least 500 millligrams of vitamin C daily. There is much more in this book. The book has tons of information as well as recipes. I learn something different everytime I open up the book. These guidelines were at the end of the book in the maintenance section..but thought it was great information period. moons --- --- rabbitbrain@... --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.
