Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hi , I'm in my thirties now and for more than twenty of those years discounted my problems to allergies. I tried mattress covers, allergy shots, pills, the septoplasty helped enormously (deviated septum would not allow any drainage of my sinuses_, but what i'm seeing it all come down to is candida. I've been on an anti candida health plan for nearing on a year now - most importantly, NO SUGAR, NO BREADS, NO VINEGARS, NO DAIRY - and unless I stray back to anything with the latter ingredients, the allergy symptoms (swelling hands / feet, allergies to outdoors and dust mites...) are all pretty much gone. I've also had insane luck using pharmax's synbiotic intense. i just clamored about this on here yesterday. but seriously, after the first week of using it my lower back pains in the morning disappeared! i'm not exagerating and they had been getting progressively worse for a year and a half! i thought it was back issues, not candida build up! i had no clue. also, tingling sensations gone. i also do weekly chelation foot baths and the yeast is still POURING out. So, I plan on following this plan for probably another year. If I were you, given all of my experiences since I was a kid (many not mentioned but all connected to this candida condition!), I'd highly recommend you get with a doctor in your area who gets it, and begin candida treatment. Here's a great home test you can do to evaluate your likelihood of having candida, http://www. .org/candidatests.html. i'd also recommend if this looks right to you, that you get dr. crook's book, the candida connection. it outlines in easy terms what's going on and what you can do to help. once you clear out the candida your system will work more efficiently. if you deal with just the one allergy, you may find yourself like me suddenly - allergic reactions to everything that you used to be fine with! seriously. candida. hope this helps. Re: best bed cover for dust mite ? Hi all: I think I may be allergic to mites also. Or is it mold? Or is it all kinds of dust? Or is it food? Or candida? As you can see I'm very confused. I've been trying to figure this out for years and am still not sure. Maybe it's " all of the above. " Am also investigating weak adrenals as a possible cause of constant phlegm/inflammation in lungs. I'd like to hear what other's symptoms are like. How do you react to dust mites? My main problem has always been lots of phlegm in the chest and throat clearing etc. -especially in the morning. I bought mite covers for the pillows a year ago and didn't notice any improvement. Maybe it wasn't enough. Thanks! -m > > Hi all!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I have never heard of chelation foot baths, are they something you can safely do at home? Re: best bed cover for dust mite ?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 michael it's definitely best to listen to your body and your intuition and follow their guidance! it sounded like you were on the fence and i just know that there are a lot of good treatments and many not so good. i thought maybe you had had some bad experiences healing due to that. but if you think it's allergies and adrenals you definitely should take care of those and make sure your immune system is happy again! best wishes. Re: best bed cover for dust mite ? Hi and thanks much for the comments. As I stated in another message, I've been deakling with this for years. I have tried MANY natural candida treatments and no-sugar, low- carb diets etc etc and I'v enever felt any different. Which leads me to wonder if I even have candida anymore. Maybe just allergies and weak adrenals. Time for some more testing I guess. I'm not sure about that spit test into the glass of water..seems like everyone fails that, and then Threelac gets to sell more product. As for the written tests (and books -I've read just about all of 'em) I usually flunk them. Very confusing........

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Your problem with dust mites should go away once your immune system is stronger. I would attack the cause, not the symptom. You most probably have leaky gut and candida overgrowth. Treat those and the other problems should go as they are a symptom only. Keen Re: best bed cover for dust mite ?

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Have you made absolutely certain that you need the steroids? Have you tried a second or third medical opinion?

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Are you taking something to help your liver? Keen Re: best bed cover for dust mite ? Gayle: That sounds like me. I've also considered that I probably have liver congestion, which would also explain my severe indecision (according to TCM theory)... -m > I have also gotten up every morning coughing up phlegm and have had lung inflammation for a long time. My kinesiologist says it is from exhausted adrenals and congested liver. > > Gayle > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 You must be patient, these things take time. The liver heals very slowly, but usually very well. Keen Re: best bed cover for dust mite ? Hi Keen: Currently I'm taking some milk thistle from Planetary Formulas. I've used a few TCM liver formulas in the past, like " Free and Easy Wanderer, " with not much results. Maybe I didn't give it enough time (as usual).....
