Don't apologize for telling the truth. Before I knew better I went to a homeopath who "diagnosed" people all day long with candida and heavy metals using a ectrodiagnostic device.

"Candida yeasts are generally present in healthy humans, frequently part of the human body's normal oral and intestinal flora, and particularly on the skin; however, their growth is normally limited by the human immune system, by competition of other microorganisms, such as bacteria occupying the same locations in the human body."



http://en.m.wikipedi...iki/Candidiasis

 

I don't see how this is any different from doctors who would prescribe SSRIs for any condition under the sun. There will always be a lot of doctors looking to just cash in.

 

Everyone has candida but it's only a problem when there is systemic candida overgrowth. I have it all over my toe nails, my elbow and I have some fungus on my back. It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination for there to be a fungal issue in my stomach as well. 

 

The majority of our neurotransmitters are produced in the gut. It is like our second brain. If our stomach is unhealthy then it can effect mental health as well.       

 

Yes it would be a stretch. Please cite something showing the majority of ours NTs being produced in the gut.

The difference is that device does not have FDA approval for diagnostic purposes. Candida infections are diagnosed by microscopic examination or culturing so little is left to the imagination. Sure there are doctors out for money but this isn't like prescribing SSRI's.

"In extreme cases, superficial infections of the skin or mucous membranes may enter into the bloodstream and cause systemic Candida infections."

"In immunocompetent persons, candidiasis is usually a very localized infection of the skin or mucosal membranes, including the oral cavity (thrush), the pharynx or esophagus, the gastrointestinal tract, the rectum, anus, perianal/perirectal or ano-rectal area (in men as well as women), the perineum, the urinary bladder, the fingernails or toenails (onychomycosis), and the genitalia (vagina, penis, etc.)."

Stress response is noticable once someone has experienced stress failure. Zinc, Molybdenum, Silica, oils, Amino acids, are all in need along with exercise and magnesium chloride baths to reset oneself.

Thanks, can you expand a little as to why these supplements would be beneficial to "reset oneself"? I presume you mean normalise the HPA axis....

Just to provide an update guys. Taking fluoxetine at 40mg has very significantly muted my stress response symptoms, so when my HPA axis is activated by a trigger it affects my functionality MUCH less. I don't really experience very much physical symptoms anymore, just moderate cognitive symptoms.  My stress response symptoms playing up would affect my cognition (and nervous system) severely, if I ate/drank a trigger (which was basically everything), ate too much carbs, let my blood sugar get too low, did any activity which required stress on the body, such as walking up stairs, picking something up. So loads of things would affect my cognition... Now it is still affected, but no where near as much. I am much more balanced and STRESS FREE throughout the day, I'm able to remain functional socially and able to get a basic low pay job and work all day mostly without being affected too much apart from the odd joint pain and mild fatigue. I'd say Im about 75-80% there. 

 

I can get my personality mostly across, have good humour, sit one to one with someone and have a fairly good conversation, whether it be for social or work reasons, my cognition can still be affected by certain triggers, but I just keep away from the worst of them. I still have issues connecting with people but I'm definitely getting there. 

 

 

Anyone with a similar story, please share! :)

ALL DRUGS are bad in the long run, in this case they are a chemical crutch.
I forgot to memtion sublingual B12 and organic D3, those two are vital for anyone who has been exposed to tap water and processed food.
Then theres the GMO wheat. Gluten is a glycoside that chemically burns you from your gut to your blood/brain barrier. Check out 'Grain Brain' and the talks the author does to explain things to the laymen. All the supplements I mention are extremely potent and dosing amounts recommended on their bottles labels should be quartered to start with, food should be thoroughly chewed and largely green vegatables.
Diatomascuos Earth, D3 and Phosphotidyle Choline are potent regenerators and in NO way should be taken daily unless they have good dietary support. Everyone has different needs, so get an appetite and try not to feed your parasites!
Oh! And don't forget the medicinal herbs, Alfalfa, basil, olive, St Johns Walt, etc.
Alfafa would cheer anyone up! PC returns cognative functions. Molybdenum activates the enzymes that clears the brain fog(you will only need 4 hours sleep a night!!). Zinc helps the mind focus. All this stuff needs B vitamins from natrual sources, if your urine goes clear, you may need to eat more(to get the B vits), so some light activity could help. Most vitamins sold on the high street are synthetic and so feed microbes not you.
Please, anyone reading this should be aware that compartmentalising nutrient issues can be a daunting experience, so please don't unless your symptoms point towards a dangerous condition. Instead just eat the best you can and make sure D3 and the minerals are present in your diet.
For parasites I recommend the Digestive Resistant Carbohydrate theory for replacing microbes, perhapes with some Herbs and Essential Oil thrown in?
When your body accumulates enough minerals it matures mentally, then you'll find your long term memories reside outside of the brain in the higher self where intuition can be formed to help mental cognition. When a brain regrows it regrows along old paths of thought and behaviour, so be very aware of a replay scenario of some old traits that may creep up on oneself or behaviour triggers from ones environment. Find valid reasons TO continue the rebirth, because thats what feeling better means in the long run.

Let me break it down for everyone. Now I can't sight a reference here because it's all common knowledge.
Most carbohydrate gets reduced to simple sugars inside the body one way or another. Each glucose molecule gets its hydrogen ions liberated by twenty eight Magnesium, so do we get energy from 'sugar' or the minerals from plants(chlorophyll)? The minerals get used up, they run out of electric. We can get energy from the air we breath, the attitude we embrace, they can't prove it empirically, does that mean we can't? Life is relative to the observer, let's be clear on that point of freedom.

When Silica levels in the body return to optomen many great abilities are restored. Some people are shocked by new found life skills. I believe Silica creates channels throughout the flesh that allow photons to balance throughout the bodies system. No one likes fast change, so be kind to yourselfs by applying supplements subtlety. I don't blame anything for the dietry shortfall, not because of the overwhelming factual reasons, but because the blame game is an illogical and always an eventual massive waste of anyones endeavour.

The Fluoride that some drugs use from thier activity is of course a heavy metal. Iodine and Magnesium can help displace the spent drug residuse along with a multitude of other substances to allow the cell to recover it's function.
D3 isn't a vitamin, its a mineral carrier, a hormone, a stronge analgesic, a fluid balancer, a DNA modifier of potentially two thirds of the human activated DNA. DNA is a library for the cell and is a product of it's environment. You will NEVER see genome drugs that work long term. The cell WALL controls the cell. The intercellular conective tissue traps cellular acidic waste to release the waste slowly into the bodies waters. Silica is an important component to the protien matrix of the intercellular connects.

Please Don't believe the official hype, when it comes to immunity, Genetics, Drugs, Gravity, Moon landings, etc. I'm not a flat earther, or a truther, but I have spent many years with good comprehension skills.

This guy strikes me as a hippy, and he probably is big into vitamins and minerals.

I would listen to him and take whatever basic approach he recommends as far as supplementation.

Wish people could add to this topic. 

 

I had some mixed results with LDN. Sometimes the opoid rebound would help restore some kindness and more loving emotions. Which is so very welcome considering I used to have an abundance of those when I was healthier.  Sea Iodine from Life Extension in 100mcg doses can help with cognition various times. I notice more thought, sometimes even quite more intelligent thought, but also some aggression. This could be die off or other factors. 

 

Some of my issues may be viral and infection based. Warts keep coming back, my eyes have deep dark circles, skin sometimes a bit yellow especially on my face, red and pink spots on my face on and off, toe fungus (back fungus cleared up w special shampoo), lot of allergic rhinitus, possible sensitivity to mold, face significantly dries up on and off, feel weak the majority of the time, blurry vision, and PEM (Post-exertional malaise), plus many symptoms of MS and CFS. My last doctor told me I look like an aids patient (I been tested for HIV and it's negative).  BTW I have low Testosterone, very low Estrogen, low thyroid, low copper, very acidic PH. Lot of cognitive impairment, difficulty processing information, negative minded perspective, prone to stress, very anhedonic, often joyless, poor motivation, visual issues with grey tones and yellow tints of color, frequent hunger, pains in my neck, etc.  Cognitively my mind just doesn't flow usually, a lot of lack of thought and just immense cloudiness. 

 

I think it would do a lot of good to try and examine causes. These things just don't occur out of no where.  Infection and viral issues have crippled the functioning of a lot of people.

Zinc has helped a lot of people. For me it helped me return to a few hobbies and reengage with friends last year.  No need to be insulting.
