affecting your GI system, it was in your GI system all along, but

maybe wasn't noticed. Most candida overgrowth happens in the gut

and spreads systemically from there. Even vaginal yeast starts in

the gut.

just had no symptoms.

+++That is very possible Trish. It's good you are realizing it.

==>I had vibrating sensations in my body for years before I found out

I had candida. I think it is the panic the body is feeling

because " something " (candida) has gotten out of hand and the body

isn't able to deal with it.

not vibrate anymore now that you are candida free!

+++No, I don't vibrate any more, thank goodness!

==>It is not advisable to treat your thyroid directly with

medications or iodine. As you overcome the candida thyroid hormones

will be better able to get into the cells, and the thyroid itself

will normalize. Read Bee's Personal Candida Story in the files

(after the folders) to see what I went through - I lost my thyroid

due to too much tampering with medications and too much iodine, etc.

They caused my thryoid to behave very irratically. Iodine is only

required in trace amounts by the body and too many people overdose on

it by taking kelp, seaweed, green foods, etc. There's plenty of

iodine in natural foods like butter and also in ocean sea salt.

> This is the part that I am so confused by as I have just started

seeing this naturopathic doctor who is treating my thyroid with stuff

that contains kelp and bovine thyroid gland. I am also on low dose

of synthroid. I read your story, Bee. Thanks so much for directing

me. But now I am a bit frightened as I have been having more heart

palpitations lately and dizziness starting yesterday. What you are

saying does make sense to me, though. I will probably stop taking

this stuff now and focus strictly on the candida.

+++Trish, the bovine thyroid gland would have been adequate for

supporting your thyroid, if your tests showed you had low thyroid

function, but taking synthroid on top of it is too much. They both

serve the same purpose, however synthroid is synthetic and not

recommended; taking just bovine thyroid gland would be okay. That

might be reason you are getting palpitations and dizziness because

you are getting too much thyroid hormone. Try going off the kelp and

synthroid altogether and stay with the bovine thyroid for a few

days. If you still get palpitations go off it too.

kids and husband want me back to normal.

==>Your kids and husband will get to back to normal Trish! It's

onward and upward!
