Hey Lizzie,

Yeah, I have Amenorrhea since I started the program February of 2005 but before

that I was bleeding to death from uterine fibroids so I think Amenorrhea is

superior to that! I figure that my body will bleed when it is ready.

When I was studying pre-med we learned that Amenorrhea can be caused by stress

or over-exercising as in marathon runners. Worry is one of the causes of illness

by the way. Trust yourself to heal and see the doctor only if you're really ill.

Has anyone else experienced amenorrhea/could anyone give me any

Hello Lizzie,

I also took very poor care of myself as a young adult---and had all the

symptoms of candida, AND had the doctors telling me I was imagining this

syndrome. Finally, I found out and strictly followed Bee's plan (Dec. 2005).

I skipped my period for 10 months one year, and never had a regular cycle

since my teenage years.

Also, I had tender, lumpy breasts, hair loss, fatigue, osteopenia,mood swings,

the whole bit.......now all of this is in the past! Truly, I am healthier than

ever before and I am almost 40....so read the articles and stick to it.

you will be amazed with the results! Good luck!!

Thank you.

I'm mainly concerned because my periods were fine up until I started

fighting off the candida. I take lots of supplements, including

quite high dosages of all the vitamins (especially vitamin C, I can

take ten grams a day and not reach bowel tolerance, that's how much

I need it!) and a decent multimineral. I know that the RDAs are

based on the bare minimum a healthy body needs to survive and I've

adjusted my intakes accordingly!

I eat plenty of organic meat, fish and butter (a large proportion of

my income goes on proper food and most of the rest on supplements

and reading material!), so I shouldn't be lacking in anything from

them. I take my vitamins A and D as halibut liver oil capsules, so

I'm getting my fish oil. I can't get much sunshine for the vitamin

D, though - I'm very pale and burn within ten minutes!

(As for the breast lump, I decided when I was sixteen and my mum had

breast cancer that if it ever happened to me, I'd have them both

taken off. I just can't afford to see the kind of doctor who would

be able to treat cancer without using chemo, so that's a non-

starter!)

I have definitely been finding your articles very informative since

I joined the group. I even made my mum join so she could read them

too! I've unknowingly been following much of your advice over the

last couple of months (for example re: the not cutting out animal

products, I know some people advise that for candida but it didn't

make any sense to me, and having read your articles I'm glad it

didn't!)

I'd like to know if you have any extra advice on supporting the

liver. I take milk thistle and dandelion, and I was already doing a

liver pump every so often, but I think I really did break my liver

with all those years of treating it so poorly! I forgot to mention

in my initial post that, as well as the drink and drugs, I was on

various medications from the age of 13 up until last October -

Ritalin (which I stopped at 16 when I finished compulsory

schooling), Paxil, and Epilim (these two from 16 to last year)!

Knowing what I know now about the importance of nutrition in mental

health, I am so resentful towards the doctors who prescribed them.

I've always scoffed at people who say the medical profession is one

big corrupt conspiracy, but now I've had to reevaluate everything I

ever knew, I can see that it pretty much is. The majority of doctors

really truly think they're doing the right thing when they prescribe

all these pharmaceuticals, that's the most tragic thing!

Thanks for your help, this is a valuable thing you're doing with

this group.

I'm sorry to hear you were so ill - you're right, amenorrhea IS

preferable to that! People are always telling me not to worry, to

relax, and I'm just starting to be able to. It's a learning curve!

I've been practising deep breathing and trying to stay away from the

things that get me worked up. I haven't watched the television news

for about a month now, for example!

==>Lizzie, have you looked at the Supplements List in my article?

The best multimineral supplementation is ocean sea salt, which

contains over 84 minerals, plus cal/mag as recommended. Most

multiminerals will create an imbalance unless " all of the trace

minerals " are included, which would be almost impossible in a

tablet. Also your body requires 7 macrominerals, including " true "

sodium and chloride, which are salt, found in a good ocean sea salt.

Salt also aids digestion and helps the body pull nutrients out of

foods.

==>The minimum vitamin C recommended is 4,000 mg but it's great you

are taking more because your body obviously needs it.

> I know that the RDAs are based on the bare minimum a healthy body

needs to survive and I've adjusted my intakes accordingly!

==>Macrominerals are required by the body in amounts over 200 mgs.,

but some are recommending way too much of certain macrominerals,

particularly calcium! Re-check your supplements against my list.

D, though - I'm very pale and burn within ten minutes!

==>Even though halibut liver oil contains vitamins A & D it does not

contain Omega-3 unless your product states that it does - that would

be almost unheard of. Your body requires 2,000 - 3,000 mg of total

Omega-3 per day to offset the higher amounts of Omega-6 in your

diet. Re-read that section of my article; where it discusses Cod

Liver Oil and Fish Oil - also see the Cod Liver Oil Folder for

brands, websites, etc. and if you take only fish oil in the summer

because you get vitamin D from the sun you need to supplement with

vitamin A only.

ocean sea salt drink and dry skin brushing are more effective.

Sometimes taking too many different things overwhelms the body,

that's why I've kept supplements to the basics only.

Well, I was drinking to excess basically every weekend from about

the age of fifteen. I drank a lot of ale, the flavour of which I

love - and miss - and wine, whisky and bourbon. I used to go to

nightclubs when I was still at school - I looked a fair bit older

and more sophisticated than I really was, so I had no problem

passing for 18, or over-21, if the club required it. I got into the

hard house scene when I was 17/18 and began experimenting with pills

and powders, and I look back on that and wince at what I've done to

myself, and wish so hard that I'd known better. Of course, needless

to say, I was living on sugary foods and processed crap. Oh, and

curries!

Eventually I made myself so psychotic that I got in trouble with the

police, was electronically tagged and on a curfew for five months

(and my friends would bring round a tub of Ben & Jerry's and a

bottle of wine every night, and I moved away from stimulant drugs to

cannabis - so that didn't do my any good!) and my life since then

has been a gradual straightening-out process. Although I was still

drinking on a regular basis up until the end of March (spirits only

for the last two years - I haven't drunk beer or wine since 2003).

I've learnt self-control over a long period of time, and it's been

very valuable since I'm having to be so harsh with myself. The food

cravings have been TERRIBLE this week!

One thing I've come to realise is dreadful - all that time I was on

the medication, I never had a blood test to check for my liver and

adrenal functions. I still haven't. When I see this new GP on

Tuesday, I'm going to ask for a complete work-up just so I know. I

shan't be accepting any prescriptions for drugs from him, but I'd

like to know what state I'm actually in! I can't believe I've been

so let down by the " experts " .

I've checked, and you're right, my fish oil doesn't specify any

omega fats (I just assumed - I should know better, eh?!), so I'm

going out tomorrow and buying something to remedy that.

I've never really liked salty foods so I don't get much salt. If I

go a a day without any, as I did one day last week (I didn't even

realise it, because I don't often add it), I find myself hideously

fatigued. I was pathetically weak and reading some of your

information made me realise that lack of salt was probably the

cause. So I steeled myself, drank some sea salt and lemon (YUK!) and

I had a lukewarm bath in Epsom salts with added sea salt and

potassium salt. I felt heaps better just an hour later. I won't be

making that mistake again!

I've just read over what I've written and what's shocking to me now

is that all the time I was doing all that drinking and drugs, I

didn't see any problem with it. I honestly had no idea, except in

the very vaguest sense, how bad it was for me. And most of my

friends still don't know how bad it is for them! I feel so sorry for

my generation: we were taught by society that excess is a good

thing. Excess is going to end up killing us.

[Guest guest]

Heh, yes, I've got an unopened " variety pack " of Tampax that I

bought because of course I was due on ... it's been gathering dust

on the shelf in the loo! So even when it starts up again, I won't

have to fork out for them.

I don't really know the role of hormones with candida, except that

of course they play a part. I know progesterone is what kicks off

the bleeding when one has one's period. I'm just concerned because,

especially with this lump, I have some sort of vague idea about all

this oestrogen going around in my body and no progesterone to

balance it out. My mum had breast cancer partly due to being exposed

to too much oestrogen over her lifetime (she had a three-week cycle -

argh!) and I know I should try to relax, but I can't help but

worry! I'm practising deep breathing and cuddling my cat to deal

with the worry. It seems to be keeping me calm.

Does anyone have any more information about how oestrogen and

progesterone work (or don't!) in the presence of severe candida?

I've read all the files in the women's issues folders.

Thank you, it definitely helps to know it's not just happening to me!

[Guest guest]

Hi Lizzie,

Thank you for sharing your story with us. It's is very sad that your

generation were indulgent, and so misinformed too. It shows you have

great strength to not have beer and wine since 2003!

Do check and re-check the list of supplements, and also ensure any

supplements you buy do not contain other stuff or vitamins that you

do not expect. One of our members found out that her chlorella

contained calcium which made her total intake too high, causing

cramps.

Good for you on trying the lemon and sea salt drink; if you use only

the amounts in the recipe it is very mild tasting. You are on your

way girl! You'll be a sassy diva in no time!

Cheers, Bee

==>Hi Lizzie. There is a great explanation in my article " How to

Successfully Overcome Candida " for problems with periods, hormones,

etc. under " How candida overgrows, causing symptoms, diseases and

dysfunction " :

" Hormones regulate your various body functions by traveling through

the bloodstream to vital areas of the body. Yeast toxins interfere

with this process. Hormones are produced by the body, and they enter

the bloodstream, but they have trouble getting to their intended

destination. Once they arrive, they have difficulty penetrating

rigid cell membranes (Candida makes all of the body's cells go

rigid). Even though you may have plenty of hormones in your

bloodstream they can't do their intended job if they don't achieve

adequate levels in the body's cells! Such hormones include thyroid,

estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and many others, even those

that regulate digestion and the release of digestive juices. "

In addition to Candida making body cells go rigid, a modern diet of

bad oils and fats changes the cell structure as well, which should be

50% good saturated fat.

I'm being so, SO careful with my supplements now. I had a high-

strength vitamin B complex which I was assured by the customer

service person I spoke to on the phone was yeast-free. (The

ingredients list didn't say it contained yeast, but then it didn't

say it didn't, either!) A few hours after taking it, I had to go to

sleep, I was so fatigued - and when I woke up five hours later I was

tearful and hideously tight and bloated round the middle. The B-

complex was the only thing I'd been doing any different to the last

few weeks, so I immediately suspected that. I gave one of the

capsules to my parents who opened it, had a sniff and concluded that

it was in fact yeast-based.

What a disaster.

That was ten days ago, and bless my dad, he took me out and bought

me some extra Vitamin C as I was nearly out and knew I'd be needing

a lot, some echinacea, and some caprylic acid and oregano oil. And,

of course, a yeast-free B-complex!

I felt so crappy that I really wouldn't have got through last

weekend without my parents' support - I was about ready to throw in

the towel. It's really horrible having to fight something all the

time. And like I said, the food cravings this week have been so bad!

But at least I know what's caused them. In April, I thought I'd

probably be okay in about 6 months or a year, but having done all

the reading I have in the past few months, I now know it's going to

take a lot longer than that because I'd actually made myself pretty

seriously ill to start with. There's not a day goes by that I don't

regret my past! But what's done is done, I suppose.

Again, thank you for taking the time to run this group, it's helping

me fill in a lot of the blanks and seeing where I had been going

astray in trying to deal with the candida.

i.e. oregano oil. " More is not better! "

==>My what a time you had with the wrong B-Complex. As you now know

the label must state it is yeast-free, etc. as listed in my article.
