Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I don't know about any work related to this, but ussually when the mucous membranes are under challenge (for xample during a flu episode) produce a lot of secretions, but In my chronic oral patients I never seen this before. In the other hand some mucosal secretion have a high candidacidal activity mainly saliva, althuogh in other mucosas the secretion are sinonimus of infection I mean at the vaginal mucosal level, but in this mucosa the response are quite diferent that in the oral mucosa. taking togheter, it is low possible that the excess of secretion are due to oral infection by candida, unless you have an infection at the lower respiratory tract (lungs, or deep in the throat). prime_9981 <prime_9981@...> wrote: I appreciate the responses and suggestions of all who have posted stuff on mercury fillings.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Hi Al, I found your comments about mucous interesting.I am the same way.I have been on the candida diet for 10 months and don't consume any dairy due to a milk allergy.I can't seem to get rid of all the mucous.Donna Is it just me??? > > > I appreciate the responses and suggestions of all who have posted > stuff on mercury fillings.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Yeah...Donna (and Laurie)...i know what ur talking about. Milk??? Oh man...don't even ask. I've developed an aversion to milk and all other dairy products. It's like...if anyone wants to know how they can punish me the most...i'll tell them...give me milk to drink. I'm just curious though...what specific symptoms do you have when you drink milk or consume any other dairy products? As i've said already...not only do i have a lot of mucous generally all the time...but...it's even worse after consuming dairy...and i get this weird, awful taste in my mouth and my tongue becomes white and " icky. " Donna...you said that you've been on the candida diet for 10 months...wow..that's amazing, at least for me...who is still trying to be convinced that i do have candidiasis. Do you see any improvement in your condition after being on the candida diet for 10 months? What other type(s) of treatment are you going thru, if any? I hope you don't mind my asking...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Hi Donna Mucus is the body's reaction to am irritant. Typically it is dairy, but also often gluten (wheat, oats) is the cause. Have you tried to go on a carbohydrate free diet for a while? www.mandalavillage.org/lec/ Is it just me??? > > > > > > I appreciate the responses and suggestions of all who have posted > > stuff on mercury fillings.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Hi Al, I get low blood sugar when I consume dairy, it took me many years to figure this out. When I would go on the Dr. Atkins diet I couldn't lose very much weight, I would eat a low carb salad, and fall a sleep right after because of the ranch dressing I would put on it. I was so addicted to ranch dressing and real cream in my coffee. I would also bloat out and look about 6 months pregnant, I also broke out with a yeast ringworm looking rash if I over did the dairy. I've always had mucus problems until I cut out dairy and wheat, I did this following the ER4YT diet.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 When I first tried Atkins, I couldn't lose weight and it messed with my hormones and my menstrual cycle was off. I'm a blood type A, I have followed the program from ER4YT to LR4YT and I couldn't lose weight at all as written. I have to cut carbs way back compared to the typical A type diet. A really good book for people who want to lose weight is the Metabolic diet by Wolcott, it showed me that I really need to cut carbs to lose weight but not to much or I will get to agitated. So basically I follow the food lists from the blood type diet and cut my carbs down to a minimum. by doing some other supplements I have gotten my Candidiasis under control very well. Supposedly type O's basically have a harder time with Candidiasis. Laurie Re: Re: Is it just me??? Laurie, I am sure I would do much better in the mucous dept if I cut out dairy and possibly wheat. I did not cut out dairy when I did Atkins. Maybe that was why I couldnt lose weight . Who knows? I did just dig out the E4YT diet book and ironically since I am type O found it funny it was similar to the candida diet. Have you beeen following it. Are you type O. I also noticed it said we should limit molds aka mushrooms. and vinegar. I guess another example of no coincidences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hi Al,I was on many courses of antibiotics for recurrent throat infections which were the result of the mouldy classsroom that I was in for the last 6 years .The last course of antibiotics was levaquin ,which is a very strong antibiotic,and it caused me to develop oral thrush and chronic fatigue.I was given one day of diflucan which caused massive die off.I laid on the bathroom floor most of the night with abdominal pain.At the time I thought it was a reaction to the drug but I began reading everything that I could find on candida.I later returned to my doctor armed with Crook's book and got two weeks of diflucan and nystatin,and started the diet.Although I felt a lot better-no more sinus or throat infections,I still felt exhausted all the time.After 5 months I decided to go to a natural health clinic and had a live blood test done.It showed that I still had a lot of yeast in my blood.(It was a 3.5 with 5 being the worst.)I then began taking aerobic oxygen that the blood tester said that he had seen excellent results with.I felt worse for about two weeks,but after a month I could feel a big difference in my energy level.I also did acupuncture at this time.I was left with many severe chemical sensivtities,so I asked my doctor at the environmental center for 6 weeks of diflucan which I am taking at this time. I am also rotating several antifungals at the same time.I have used other natural antifungals in the past as well,and primal defense. As for the milk allergy,I get abdominal pains,and become very gassy. I still don't have milk,wheat,alcohol,sugar,and very lillte fruit.Hope this answers your questions.Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hi ,I haven't had any wheat in 10 months and have been trying not to have any gluten containing grains for the past several weeks,but I haven't seen any difference.I do eat brown rice.My weight loss has been a concern lately as well,as I have lost 20 lbs.and can't afford to lose any more.Donna Is it just me??? > > > > > > > > > I appreciate the responses and suggestions of all who have posted > > > stuff on mercury fillings.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hi Gigi,I guess it depends on how sick you are.I had chronic fatigue and was off work for 8 months.I just wanted my life back and I knew I was on the right track because I felt so much better.Other people in my town that have gone through what I've been through said it took about a year of the diet and even though it has been a few years ago for them,they still must avoid sugar and one of them avoids wheat.If she has a glass of wine,she can feel a slight return of her symptoms.I never thought when I started that it would go on this long.Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hi Gigi, I never had the itching in the rectum, until I got diarrhea from a high enzyme fruit and veggie drink. The Candidia was in my small intestine and moved into my large intestine, so maybe when you started eating more veggies it moved into the large intestines? Also if you eat a lot of dairy on Atkins it to could have feed the bad bacteria. Laurie Re: Re: Is it just me??? Thanks for sharing that. I am confused since when I cut all sugar and most carbs on Atkins the symptoms of itchiness came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 I love coffee, I use a silk soy creamer in mine. I will never give it up unless I felt it was doing harm to my health, according to Dr. D'Adamo its beneficial for blood type A's. About the itching, take a hot bath with Hydrogen Peroxide (food grade 35%) buy at a health food store, pour 1 to 2 cups of it into a very hot tub of water and the itch will disappear, it might tingle slightly but will disappear. Have you ever heard of ozonated olive oil, it work wonders for that kind of itching. You could also do some enema's with beneficial ingredients. Laurie Re: Re: Is it just me??? PS I love coffee and dairy. That will be the biggest challenge for me. I have easily stopped all alcohol as the itching is enough to drive me crazy. I am sure if it stopped with restricting milk and coffee it would be as easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
