Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 I mentioned earlier how my mouth had become very sensitive and it felt very tight and almost like it was burning. Bee, you said this was part of the healing. Over the past two weeks, it has gotten a lot worse. My tongue actually has cracks in it and my whole mouth and lips hurt. The only difference in the past two weeks, is I have finished the product that I had bought to kill Candida before I found this loop and had started using garlic. By the end of last week I was up to 5 cloves a day. Is this still the healing process? I did not take any garlic yesterday and I am going to go out and see if I can buy some garlic pills today. I am wondering if the raw garlic is too strong in my mouth at this stage. The minute it comes in contact with my sore mouth, I am in agony. Also could you tell me if it is normal that my tongue is more white coated in the morning when I first wake up and then as the morning goes on, the whiteness starts to leave? Thanks, Les Quote

Thanks, Les ==>Les, thrush symptoms are commonly more worse in the morning. Do ensure you are breathing through your nose and not through your mouth. When you go to bed ensure your nose is clear and practice nose breathing - see Breathe Right Folder for exercises. ==>It is possible you increased the garlic too fast? You were up to 5 cloves very quickly eh? Try cutting back on the garlic and see if your mouth symptoms are less severe. It isn't because the garlic is raw, it's because garlic kills off candida and any weak areas, like your mouth, will become more inflamed and irritated by candida toxins, which are healing symptoms, and it increase any existing symptoms. Your body could also be detoxifying more through your mouth. Our bodies detoxify through any orifice it can. At one point my body detoxified through my eyes, for 3 months. It was horrible to say the least. ==>Do ensure your diet is right on - double check with the lists in the Candida Diet Folder. Any dietary indescretions will also increase symptoms in your mouth. ==>Ensure you taking all of the supplements and ocean sea salt recommended because burning in the mouth can also be due to a lack of B vitamins and zinc (contained in ocean sea salt), but zinc is only required in trace amounts so it is not advisable to take extra supplements. ==>Having low iron levels can also be a problem - have your blood tests ever indicated anemia? Eating beef liver twice a week provides B vitamins & iron, or take dessicated liver tablets. Most liver supplements are derived from the wrong source of iron however, i.e. from plants, called non-heme iron, which isn't absorbable by the body. Your body needs heme iron which is highest in liver. ==>Do you have adequate saliva, because candida can block salivary glands. You can massage under your chin and around the underneath edge of your jaw up to your ears to open up salivary glands. ==>Also avoid all toothpaste because any additives or sweeteners will aggravate your mouth. Try only brush with baking soda made into a paste with water for 5 days to see it that helps, or just dry brush your teeth with a soft brush. ==>Coconut oil will help soothe the burning - hold mouthfuls and swish it around well for about 2 minutes at a time. Do help your body detoxify by: 1) Drinking Pau D'Arco tea -again hold mouthfuls and swish it around for up to 2 minutes; 2) lemon juice & ocean sea salt in water as recommended; 3) dry skin brushing or jumping rope or rebounding on a trampoline; 4) coffee enemas and 5) Epsom salt baths. I hope that helps. Let me know what helps the best. Cheers, Bee Quote
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Hi Bee, Thanks for your advice. ==>It is possible you increased the garlic too fast? You were up to 5 cloves very quickly eh? I think you may be right that I increased the garlic too fast. I as anxious to get the Candida out of my body. I cut back on it yesterday. I also think my mouth is my weak area so it makes sense that this is the area that is suffering the most. I found I was more stuffed up and I had a lot of mucus the past week. ==>Ensure you taking all of the supplements and ocean sea salt recommended because burning in the mouth can also be due to a lack of B vitamins and zinc (contained in ocean sea salt), but zinc is only required in trace amounts so it is not advisable to take extra supplements. I am taking all the supplements. I was not drinking the sea salt and lemon 6 times a day though. I was having a hard time coming to terms with adding all that salt to my body so I was not doing this. It is amazing how being in pain made me rethink this decision. I went out yesterday and bought the things I needed and had 4 glass of it yesterday and one so far today. I could not find sea salt that actually said " ocean sea salt " so I am not sure if I have the right kind. I will check next week, for with it being our Thanksgiving weekend, the store I shop at was closed yesterday and today. ==>Do you have adequate saliva, because candida can block salivary glands.

I am doing the Coconut oil, Pau D'Arco and the dry skin brushing. I have never tried the enemas. This is another one of my blocks that I will have to overcome. I will go back to the files and read up on them. Today my mouth is not as sore as yesterday so there has been a bit of improvement. Thanks again. It sure is great to have you teaching me and others what to do. Les Quote

As you now know " more is not better " - you cannot push the body to heal any faster than it is ready to. It just causes you more discomfort. Consistency, patience and time are important in order to heal naturally. > > ==>Ensure you taking all of the supplements and ocean sea salt > recommended because burning in the mouth can also be due to a lack of B vitamins and zinc (contained in ocean sea salt), but zinc is only required in trace amounts so it is not advisable to take extra supplements. > > I am taking all the supplements.

I live Calgary, Alberta and here celtic sea salt (ocean) is sold under the name of Nature's Cargo, and it is available at all health stores. ==>Also avoid all toothpaste because any additives or sweeteners will > aggravate your mouth.

It does take awhile to screw up the gumption to do enemas. My mother did my first one when I had candida, but after that it was a breeze. And it made me feel so much better I couldn't believe it! > > Today my mouth is not as sore as yesterday so there has been a bit of improvement. +++Yippee! Something is helping to make your mouth more tolerable for you. > > Thanks again. It sure is great to have you teaching me and others what to do. +++You are so very welcome Les. It is very fulfilling to me. Luv, Bee Quote
