There is something wrong with this...

[Guest guest]

There is something so odd about candidiasis.

The body is designed to heal itself. Take a broken arm, for example. The

process our own body initiates to repair this potentially very serious

affront to our well-being is nothing short of astounding! (I recently rented

from Netflix a very well-produced Discovery Channel series on the human body,

and literally watched it through teary-eyes, because the various processes

the human body accomplishes to repair itself are absolutely phenomenal!)

Now, take candidiasis. At some point, we ignorantly added something

harmful to our bodies (antibiotics), and all hell broke loose. Fair enough.

But

when we remove this offending substance (by stopping the antibiotics), our

bodies don't heal. And even with the passage of time, and the addition of

very expensive probiotics, and supplements, and diet modification, and

exercise, our bodies still will not do what it does with a broken bone -- which

is

heal it.

In other words, if we break a bone -- our bodies heal it. If we cut or

tear our skin -- our bodies will heal it. If we smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a

day for 10 years (a horrible thing!) but then stop -- our lungs will

regenerate. But if we take antibiotics and harm our gut -- we're screwed for

life.

There is something so fundamentally wrong with this picture.

I have had candidiasis now for almost 20 years. I stopped taking the thing

that did the damage (antibiotics) nearly 17 years ago. Still, no healing.

Not only is my body not healing itself, but no amount of probiotics,

supplements, diet modification, or exercise thus far has assisted in the healing

process.

This is not normal.

Furthermore, if antibiotics are so incredibly damaging -- to the point that

they can damage a body in such a way that it will never repair itself, and

the person can only look forward to a life of diet modification in order to

SOMEWHAT control it -- than why is the medical community refusing to

acknowledge the existence of something so heinous?

I am no medical doctor, but there is something not adding up here. Surely,

there has to be something else, something deeper occurring with people with

chronic candidiasis.
