Guest guest Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 FROM: http://www.fyh.com/sauna/Far%20Infrared%20Therapy.htm Normal sweat is 97-99% water; sweat induced by Far Infrared Therapy is only 80-85% water. The rest is composed of environmental toxins that are being mobilized, some heavy metals, urea, cholesterol, and lactic acid. FROM: http://www.infraredhealth.com/article_pages/fir_energy7.html " For the chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia patient, hyperthermic [far- infrared sauna] therapy helps to restore normal autonomic nervous system functioning. This is the part of the nervous system which governs unconscious functions such as muscle tension, sweating, blood pressure, digestion and balance. Autonomic dysregulation is the term used to describe changes in the nervous system, which result in many of the symptoms of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Muscle pain, excessive body odor, digestive complaints, visual disturbances and dizziness are some of the many manifestations of autonomic dysregulation. Repeated sessions of hyperthermic therapy can greatly assist in the restoration of normal autonomic nervous system functioning.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 I was given some lactic acid by a homeopathic doctor to take morning and night. Does anyone know anything about this? I ask because I think it was Sheila who mentioned " lacto fermented " to Candace... I'm wondering if lactic acid be used a kind of food preservative? Is it a digestive aid? Is it good for Candida? I trust my doctor but it's a new thing for me and I'm curious what y'all have to say about it if anything... Thanks! ~Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lactic Acid can be most easily defined as the muscle soreness that arises after exercise. Being a homeopath, he/she is likely to be working on your fatigue and possibly musco-skeletal pain. They believe that 'the same thing that causes your illness, is also the cure'.The rational part of my mind believes this is absolute madness, but I've heard of many success stories here in Oz, but never first hand.

It can be used as a food preservative, not a digestive aid though. >Is it good for Candida? Only if you believe the homeopathic principle works.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Lactic acid is a natural preservative. When whey(not the dry type, but fresh homemade whey from yougurt) is added to fruits and vegetables, their sugars and starches are converted to lactic-acid- producing bacteria. These are called lactobacilli and are present on the outer surface of all living things especially on leaves and roots of plants near or in the earth. Cabbage is an example. Lactobacilli in fermented veggies and fruits not only preserves them, but also enhances their digestability and promotes the growth of healthy flora thorughout the intestine. Since people with an unhealthy balance of intestinal flora, such as candida, could use all the lactobacilli they can get in their diets, lacto-fermented food use can help? IMO How this all connects to homeopathic use of lactic acid I don't know. Ask the doctor! I have experienced positive results with homeopathy on other health issues, but have no clue why it is effective. No big deal. It didn't hurt me, and it sure did help. Life is a mystery! Anyway I know Bee uses cabbage drink for building back up the necessary balance of healthy bacteria within the intestine. It isn't lact-fermented, but it is fermented like crazy. I figure ther fermented foods should help too. I have not had a repeat of candida unbalance since I began eating lacto-fermented foods everyday. Here are two locations to learn more about lacto-fermentation. http://www.westonaprice.org/motherlinda/sauerkraut.html http://www.westonaprice.org/foodfeatures/food.html When Bee gets back on line she will certainly have some comments on lacto-fermentation. Until then we could read more about it and see if we can come to some idea of lacto-fermentation's value concerning beating candida. What do you think?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Dear Sheila & Group, >>>When Bee gets back on line she will certainly have some comments on lacto-fermentation. Until then we could read more about it and see if we can come to some idea of lacto-fermentation's value concerning beating candida. What do you think? ==>Lacto-fermented foods are fine to have on the candida program. There is a big difference between yeasty, moldy or fungal-type foods and lacto-fermented foods. However, some foods, like sauerkraut, must be properly fermented and not just pickled like some commercial products are. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
