Hurt my gut system very badly 12 months ago from antibiotics I took for Lyme. These were wide spectrum antibiotics for several months, mind you. My gut was ravaged; I scoured every Internet site for how to heal my gut and tried all the food elimination diets I read about. In all honesty to you, the reader. When I finally gave up trying so hard to heal it, it healed. It took about a year. I do have some food sensitivities, but the foggy headedness, thrush in mouth, etc is down 95%. My advice should you choose to follow it, is to stop eating sugary snacks, salty snacks, and anything ...

Thank you so, so, much for this post! I came across molybdenum this morning when i was suffering drastically from what felt like toxicity of my system from candida. In fact, it was so intense that any type of natural herb or antibiotic (ginger, turmeric, etc) sprinkled on my food would cause me to go toxic and get weak, with cramping, joint pain, etc. I found Molybdenum Chelated by KAL at the Vitamin Shoppe in San Jose and its dosage is 250 mcg. I took it twice to day, and I can literally feel the former toxicity being converted into fuel for my body. IT is absolutely unbelievable. H ...

Anyone else experience psychadelic images / themes in their dreams from the die-off of candida? I started drinking beef bone broth and it threw me into an anorexic episode for a day or so, and last night the dreams were so intense I couldn’t believe it. Spinning stars/galaxies with eyes blinking and spinning on them... Skulls with tongues stuck out, morphing into other skulls... Cartoonish in character. A reunion with my deceased mother where I swore we were actually there, together, touching each other. The psychadelic nature of dreams due to dieoff is something I hadn’t heard fr ...

It’s very easy; dump in millet and quinoa into the glass pyrex, add in the spices, fill up the pyrax about half an inch with water, and bake at 350 degrees until the millet and quinoa have cooked. Yes, it will become dry and slightly crispy when done (usually about 25 mins or so). Eat this every day for a meal. As an added bonus, use chicken bone broth instead of water. Good luck!   [End]

This isn’t a herx die-off, it’s the symptoms of candida overgrowth. Highly discourage use of protein shakes, it will stress out your kidneys and other organs. You can eat chicken breast, yes. In my opinion, you need to begin eating raw salt-less sauerkraut immediately to heal this. Look on youtube for how to make it, it’s very simple and can be done with only cabbage. Candida has many symptoms, that can disable a person no matter if they’re a bodybuilder or not; my guess is your system is under lots of stress from your diet and this will need to be resolved for the real herx re ...

A diet including raw, salt-less sauerkraut with every meal will most likely result in massive progress for your daughter. There are a million videos on youtube of how to do it. You just need a stainless steel crock and cabbage, plus time for it to ferment. Candida hates sauerkraut, it is its kryptonite, if you will. Good luck!   [End]

Hi, The symptoms you are describing (being cold all the time, being thin, etc) are indicative of a person who needs to eat warming foods. Drinking detox tea is usually made of bitter herbs which are cooling to the body. Coconut oil is not going to warm you either. Right now your body is spending a tremendous amount of energy trying to keep your baseline up, so my advice having been in your position is to eat warming foods and spices. My guess is that you will see relief when you begin to introduce more warming foods and spices and eliminate everything cold. Avocados, coconut oil, etc ...

Sexually transmitted diseases are typically cleared by modifying your diet. But you must stick with it for a typical 6 month time frame. The herbs and spices you mentioned are great, but I suspect you haven’t seen change because the underlying diet you eat encourages the infection to live. Eat: primarily grains, seaweeds, legumes, sprouts, herbs, microalgae, and small amounts of spices. Cook them if you are a person who gets cold easily. For at least 6 months, avoid: All tobacco, coffee, fruits, nuts, and oil bearing seeds (flax and cold pressed flax oil are ok). Avoid sesame ...

The symptoms you describe are consistent with candida. In particular, - white spots on tongue -bad/ strange breath -throat hoarseness/ congestion, feeling of something in throat and many of the others. The nail fungus, and the athletes foot, are classic examples of external body fungus being caused by your bigger internal fungus issues. You asked for thoughts on diet - and you didn’t list your diet, but I am guessing that you are not eating foods that kill candida. Realize that eating anti-microbial foods is how to kill candida. Supplements are great to support, but diet ...

I would not wait to see what the next blood work panel shows. If it was me, and I have been in your situation - I would stop these drugs. I would not bother with cleansing or adding supplements. Yes, I would help my kidneys and liver out more. I would not take Diflucan. And I would not worry about detoxifying yourself. Instead, I would eat a diet that kills candida. This means removing all sugar, yes, but also eating foods which specifically are on a search and destroy mission when it comes to candida. Understand that there are foods that go after candida by robbing it of t ...

It could be caused by the room - especially if it is a dark, cold room - which breeds dampness - in both the physical sense and also within your body. Realize that antibiotics aren’t all that causes candida in your body. Eating a diet of foods that breed dampness inside of you will cause it, and relatively easily too. My thought would be to eat more warming foods and spices. This means amaranth, quinoa, millet, aduki beans, mung beans, turmeric, coriander, etc. If you eat these consistently, you will kill candida. It can’t live in a dry environment, which is what you’re creating in y ...

Hi Stanley, This is a great start; however my personal opinion is that the protocol you’re on isn’t enough to do it. If you have a tough case like me, and I have the worst my doctor has ”ever seen”, you’ll need to add foods that are warming and spices that are warming to your diet. These will in effect negate the dampness in the body caused by candida. Realize that sugar elimination is just one part of the equation (in my experience). So as an example, I eat millet and quinoa baked in a glass pyrex pan with dried ginger, berbere powder (from the eithiopian store), cut up lee ...

Good job on going on the hydrogen peroxide. As you know it creates an inhospitable environment for the candida, and is completely safe for the body when taken appropriately. I agree the candida is often worse than lyme was itself!   [End]

Hi, The quickest way to see if you have mold issues is to look at your tongue. You will see green on it, towards the back, if the mold is in your system. If your tongue is perfectly pink the entire length without any green, then my guess would be it’s not mold. Otherwise, you’re right - the the symptoms can mimic other things. But the tongue is a great litmus test for mold.   [End]

This is exactly the approach that yields true healing. Consistency over time - and belief that the body will heal! Bravo. I am 90% there myself after 6 months.   [End]

My mentor completely healed himself from lyme - using raw garlic cloves 2 times per day and 1 drop of pure 100% oregano essential oil 2 times per day.   [End]
