Yes tinnitus is pretty common when you have candida. As far as I understand it, it is about candida being in your sinus and ear canal. Vitamin C and the spa steam room help a lot on the short term basis. As getting rid of candida will, on the long term.

I went very far until I could get a candida diagnose. My digestion was very bad so I could not absrob essential elements. Even then, the doctors would only come up with an anemia diagnosis (which in their book explained my chronic fatigue).

A few months later I found out about candida, thanks to my brother's chiropractician. It had been some 15 years that I had Sugar 'intolerance symptoms': 15 years of candida. It is a deal to heal but I am almost there. I am lucky I did not loose my job in the process - mainly because I had asked for a very slack schedule so as to finish my Ph.D. I am lucky I could finish it with the brain fog- as a side effect of detox! I actually had to stop detox for a few weeks in order to do the final sprint!

Garlic flush is something you should do sporadically or for a week at the most. Very efficient!

Shellley is a fantastic reference, do you know she has her own forum: Ask Shelley, a good place to post a tricky question.
Most of what I have learned was from her!

Hi there,

As for your use of garlic, I would recommend pure garlic cloves over the processed, dehydrated stuff. Call me a purist but it's hard for me to say how much of a healing effect that would have.

If you want to take raw garlic, you can take small pieces with LOTS of water about 15-30 before a meal (at least 2 glasses of water!). It's also helpful to take a green powder to coat your stomach before the garlic (like wheatgrass or spirulina) which also helps fight candida.

Other garlic ideas are to chop it up fresh and throw it on your food or eat small pieces while eating. It is a LOT stronger, but I think it is more powerful. I have never felt much healing from the shake=on kind ; )
