Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Wow! Where did everyone go? It used to be if you asked a question on this list several people would answer or share their input. I guess this list has changed more than I thought. I really miss the variety of health topics related to candida that used to be discussed here. I think most people are not paying attention to this list anymore (I've been guilty of that) or simply found other resources or lists. It's too bad because there were a lot of knowledgeable people that I never see post anymore. In a message dated 12/4/2006 6:30:07 A.M.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Just because no-one has heard of the enzymes you are talking about doesn't mean the list has changed. Keen List Changed Wow!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yes, things have changed! Welcome back. The times have been hard for the group, but some people remain still! People do not stay around when there is too much stress. Stress and candida are not too healthy for the body. not2mild@... wrote: Wow! Where did everyone go?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Many of the " old timers " that I used to see no longer post. I believe the more information = the better. Learning from other people's experience certainly does short-cut the trial and error process. Of course, everyone's body reacts differently and has it's own issues but if you hear five people on the list all got the same results that is something to pay attention to. The more people who actively participate in a group will keep the information updated. Perhaps these people got cured and moved on... I have no idea. I just think we should all work on making it more attractive for people to post. I believe that we are all smart enough to draw our own conclusions at the end of the day and that we don't have to battle over every little issue, fact, opinion or supplement. Appreciate that different things work on different people. Just put your opinions or experience out there, then let it go and let people decide for themselves - people generally will do what they want to do anyway. I would like to see more contributors to the list and more information being shared. A balance between research shared and experiences would be beneficial to all. There only seem to be a few people that are sharing their knowledge and although I certainly appreciate that and in no way discounting that.... I'd like to see more people doing the same again In a message dated 12/6/2006 12:36:05 A.M. Central Standard Time, nieema0@... writes: Yes, things have changed! Welcome back.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Here's my first post. I'm an " old timer " (turning 61 next week---how did that happen???) but a " new timer " to the diagnosis of Candida. I've been struggling with hypothyroidism for about the last 10 years. Have seen many conventional drs who only wanted to go by labs and even though my labs were " good " I was " bad. " I was able to find an endo who would prescribe Armour and that helped tremendously, but when my labs got out of the range she wanted to decrease my dose. I freaked. Then I searched out holistic drs in the Mpls/St. area and found a good one. I knew there was lots going on, but the endos will only spend 5 minutes looking at a few tests. Then if you still don't feel well, you are somehow made to feel it is your fault. So, I was pretty desperate when I saw the holoistic dr. He is the one who discovered that my digestive tract is basically whacked and I am deficient in folic acid, zinc, vitamins D and B12. So I take a fistful of supplements daily plus will soon be giving myself B12 shots and diflucan for 10 days plus my Armour. It's a struggle just remembering everything. I'm trying to stick to the diet the dr provided, but I find it is difficult and it has only been 3 days! I'm allergic to dairy and probably wheat. So, my food choices are getting slim to none. I was a really healthy person for 50 years, so it is hard to deal with all of this. I can get to self-pity mode in short order but try to keep an optimistic attitude. Since, according to tests, my candida is moderately out of balance, I'm hoping this gets under control relatively quickly. I shudder when I read that people have been working on it for years. I would like to know timelines for people on the group---that is, how long before they started to feel better. It all seems too vague right now and gives me a lot of anxiety! Thanks for being here. I'll try to post progress reports and hope to read the same from others. Mar not2mild@... wrote: > > > Many of the " old timers " that I used to see no longer post.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I am not sure if I am an old-timer, but I have been on the list for a while and am still here even though my candida is gone. I find the various opinions on health-related issues here to be very useful, as well as the various people on the list who have such useful knowledge. I also feel I have something to offer at times. I do tire of reading the same things over and over again, and I tire of the arguing. I believe in offering up different viewpoints and letting people take what they can for themselves. I hope the list rejuvenates and continues to be a resource for all of us. One recommendation I have for newbies is to do some of the research yourself in the archives (use the " search " function) before asking for a broad base of information. Many of the answers you need have been discussed here numerous times. After you research, then please do post and ask your questions. This is a horrible and confusing disease, and you are not alone.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 What I like about this group and its moderators are: 1) the list is tolerant of different opinions and none of us HAS to conform to any of the opinions. 2) Everyone (newbies and oldies) has the same choices: Get emails summary or itemized - OR No Email - or just continue to hit delete ... etc., etc. AND etc. All of us can choose to search the archives or not. All of us can pose new (or old) questions to the list and All of us can choose to reply or not to the posts. 3) Unfortunately, because of #1 we all must choose whether or not to bicker, split hairs or argue, etc.. This is one of the more informative lists I (we) have been on. Thanks to all...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Greetings oldtimer Mpls. St. is great. Listen to KFAI Mondays...Health Notes and you can get some good info. Call the station and talk to Kinshasha and tell her NieeMA sent you and she can help you a ton!!! I would not take diflucan, it is hard on the body. If you are doing other things to balance the things missing it is not needed!!! It will do more harm then good. My opinion!!! Oh yes, You can got to Mastel's on St. Clair in ST. and talk to them there, it is a very cool place!!! Mar Heck <MarHeck@...> wrote: Here's my first post.
