Jeanne Marie, problems with your menses are definitely candida

related, and also due to all the estrogen-like things obtained from

the environment and foods (prior to the candida diet I recommend).

These estrogen-like substances have been overloading your body and

interfering with your bodies estrogen production, throwing of your

hormones for some time. Candida complicates the whole senario by

making the cells rigid so your body cannot utilize whatever good

hormones are being produced, and it is interfering with functioning

of the organs that make hormones, especially the adrenals.

What you can do is:

1. Take 1,000 mgs. Vitamin C per day, and when you get symptoms prior

to your period start taking 1,000 mgs. every hour (get a good Vit. C

that contains 200 mgs. of bioflavonoids or buy bioflavonoids

separately) until you reach bowel tolerance (get diarrhea) then back

off the dose to 500 mgs. , etc.

2. Ensure you are getting enough Vitamin B Complex - 100 mgs. daily

even when you don't have your period.

3. Take a good cod liver oil (expeller pressed)that also has natural

Vit. E in it - at least 2 tablespoons every day even when you don't

have your period. Garden of Life CLO is a good product.

2. Stimulate your adrenals daily by dry skin brushing.

3. Thump your thymus every day, at least 10 thumps in a row, and

maybe even 3 times a day prior to your periods.

4. Take epsom salts baths every day to help detoxing.

5. Apply a hot water bottle to your abdomen during your menses (do

not use a heating pad).

If I think of anything else I will let you know.

Forgive me if I don't remember but what kind of test did you have

that determined you needed Armour thyroid tabs?

You are always welcome for my help. I love helping.

Jeanne, it appears as if your B complex is missing Folic Acid? You

need to take 4 tablets per day.

What is your pharmaceutical grade fish oil? Many of them are

processed by removing the natural Vit. A and D (the most important

nutrients in fish oils) and then they add back synthetic A and D.

Some fish oils have Omega 3 oils but do not provide Vits. A and D.

D3 is a synthetic form of vitamin D.

It is important to buy the proper brush and keep it only for dry skin

brushing. I do not know what a Japanese synthetic cloth is, but the

brush recommended is made of natural bristles, not synthetic. You

can also stimulate your adrenals by doing rebounding exercises on a

small trampoline.

Why can't you take baths?

If they did the TSH blood test it is not a good indicator of what is

happening in your tissues, but if taking Armour helped you that's

good.

I also have gotten worse and worse periods. It almost feels like a

violent attack on my body the week before and during my periods.

They have gotten worse and worse and put me in bed for about two

days. Only high doses of perscriptions help. I think it is the

Candida.

I feel better during my periods now. I bleed more heavily thats for

sure but less cramps and less headaches.

Do you know why he recommended extra Folic Acid?
