Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Find a Biofeedback Practitioner that works on the SCIO and have a health scan done. This will be able to help detect what may be the issue. The link below is a list of SCIO Practitioners. http://www.thequantumgallery.com/ What I'm picking up is the metabolism is off due to smoking ( which is what it does ) it can take 1 year for every 5 years you smoked for your body to get back to normal. Thyroid is out of whack. A Dr. can give you a test, but chances are it will be negative as these tests aren't accurate. Stress is the biggest cause of health issues, once again the Biofeedback will help with relaxation and stress reduction and reduction of symptoms caused by stress amongst other things. I am alive because of this process. I was in adrenal shutdown and nothing the Drs. were doing was helping. After a 4 hour session on an EPFX/SCIO/QXCI machine I started to heal. 2 years later I am offering that same benefit to those willing to give it a try. I could even work on you in a Distance Healing session. You can go to my website www.quantumassociatesofutah.com and check out the information there.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hello, I am sorry you're having such a hard time. Quitting smoking is HUGE and congratulations its the first step in getting your health together. Now these symptoms are your system trying hard to detox in an unhealthy environment. You must support your liver, milk thistle every day. In addition you should add fresh greens to your diet like dandelion and kale. Juicing is helpful but hard on your liver so it is advisable to juice some greens with 1-2 apples and some ginger and a few carrots. But dont' juice too many veggies at once because it will tax you liver, you should only juice what you would eat in a day. I would suggest Kombucha tea as it is very helpful in giving a 'pleasant' sensation while helpiing to detox and suppport the liver (please search Groups and the net for this healthy homemade affordable drink and consider brewing it yourself). Get on a very good 'green' multivitamin which derives nutrients from natural sources such as broccoli, etc. Do not use Centrum or other highly processed supps as they can cause more problems because your body will not absorb nutrients. Stay calm, and if you're really serious about getting ahold of this thing check out the courses at http://www.dhamma.org Good luck. Luana Need a quick answer? Get one in minutes from people who know.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Candida albicans, and other strains of Candida are yeast that normally inhabits our digestive system: the mouth, throat, intestines and genitourinary tract. Candida is a normal part of the bowel flora (the organisms that naturally live inside our intestines, and are not parasitic). It has many functions inside our digestive tract, one of them to recognize and destroy harmful bacteria. Without Candida albicans in our intestines we would be defenseless against many pathogen bacteria. Healthy person can have a millions of Candida albicans. Our immune system is suppose to keep it under control, together with " friendly " bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus , B. bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, S. thermophilus and L. salivarius, ...). If the number of friendly bacteria is decreased (antibiotics, pesticides, chlorine,...) in relation to a number of Candida, the immune systems is weakened or other conditions for yeast proliferation occur (diet high in sugar, improper pH in the digestive system) Candida albicans will shift from yeast to mycelial fungal form and start to invade the body. In the yeast state Candida is a non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism, while in fungal state it is invasive and can produce rhizoids, very long root-like structures. Rhizoids can penetrate mucosa or intestinal walls, leaving microscopic holes and allowing toxins, undigested food particles and bacteria and yeast to enter the bloodstream. These condition is known as Leaky Gut Syndrome, one more name for the food and environmental intolerances. If you: crave sweets feel sick all over have taken many antibiotics have seen many physicians and have not found help developing food allergies Then Your health problems are probably yeast connected. Same of your health problems could be caused by intoxication: mercury, fluoride or lead toxicity, or the Epstein-Barr syndrome, or an allergy or a glandular imbalance, or almost anything, but most likely you've got a combination of problems. By treating and preventing Candida overgrowth, you will make your body much stronger to deal with the other conditions. If you have no trace of a Candida problem (unlikely), you will still benefit from a thorough intestinal clean-up , and your overall condition will improve regardless of what you are suffering from.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 You have all the classic signs of a yeast problem. The antibiotics contributed to it, whether they were the initial cause or not. They interfere with the beneficial bacteria in your gut & that lets the yeast that lives there overgrow since it's competition has been killed or depleted by the antibiotics. (that's what antibiotics do you know...kill bacteria, bad AND good) The yeast can mutate & infect any area of your body. btw, animals are fed antibiotics so they will gain weight! Guess what they do to you??? (the way they fatten livestock is to put them on a grain diet & feed them antibiotics.) Yeast needs sugar to eat so you will crave sweets & high carb foods, which quickly put sugar into your blood. so you have weight gain & have cravings, etc. The mood swings are part of that picture too. The high sugar/high carb foods will set up a cycle of reactive low blood sugar when the body secretes too much insulin to get the overload of sugar out of your blood & that will lower your blood sugar too much, resulting in cravings, mood swings, crying, etc. until you can eat more sugar & get your blood sugar back up & it starts all over again. The specialists can't find what's wrong with you because they don't have a test that will diagnose it, since yeast lives in your body anyhow. And they weren't taught much about fungus/yeasts in medical school anyhow except for maybe 3 hours, so they don't know to even look for it. Not speaking ill of them...they only know what they have been taught & are very good at that. The best way to confirm yeast is your problem is to go on a program to combact it. When you begin to feel better, then you will know that is your problem. It does take time to get your system back in order, though. First of all, try this diet for a couple of weeks. no sugar..this means syrup & hidden sugars in foods, too. Read your food labels...even some canned veggies have sugar added. High fructose corn syrup is a sugar, btw & it's in a lot of foods, so watch for it & avoid those foods. If you don't know what an ingredient is, look it up. If it ends with " ose " though, suspect it is a sugar of some kind. no grains...they quickly turn into sugar in your bloodstream. ...this means no bread, no crackers, no cookies, no cakes, no rice, etc. This includes whole grains for now. no starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn, etc. High starchy foods quickly turn into sugar too. the exception to this is carrots. Carrots have a lot of antifungal properties, so you can have them. no fruits except green apples at first & some low carb berries with no sugar added. Fruits are good for us, but most have too much sugar & right now, you are trying to keep your sugar consumption low so as not to feed the yeast. You can eat lots of other good veggies though. A nice big salad would be good, since you will be getting some raw veggies into your diet this way. At first, you may feel very bad. This is called the herkzeimer reaction...I probably mispelled that...;-) It happens when something you are doing is actually helping you. In your case, the yeast will not be getting their 'sugar' fix & they will get all stressed out & release toxins that make you feel bad. Just know that at first you will feel bad. Then after a few days you will start to feel better. Keep it up. You can gradually add some 'forbidden' foods back into your diet. - - - - The following supplements will help kill off the yeasts. Try a couple at time for 2-3 weeks, then switch to another two. Pau D Arco Caprillic Acid Apple Cider vinegar...get the real kind with it's mother. ....get this at your health food store if your grocer don't have it. It's the cheapest antifungal supplement you can use, btw. It makes malic acid, which kills any fungus in your blood. Apple cider vinegar should help with the condition that caused your heal spurs, too. Oregano oil....or get the real Mediteranian oregano in your grocery store. It costs more but is better. Olive leaf extract note: do not take any of the above with probiotics as they can kill them off, too. Take your probiotics at least 2 hours before or after the above antifungal products. - - - - Add Probiotics...to put the good bacteria back in your gut & get it back to its normal condition. probiotics actually make B vitamins, which will give you energy. If you get yogurt as a source of probiotics, get one with live active cultures & NO SUGAR added! Plain yogurt is what you are looking for. Good probiotics to look for...bifidus acidophilus. Try to get enteric coated capsules so they will get past the stomach acid & be released in your intestines. - - - - Take vitamins & supplements that will help control your blood sugar & support your overall health, etc. If your body is deficient in a certain nutrient, it cannot fight off any kind of infection very well. B vitamins...source of energy & help with blood sugar control magnesium...this mineral actually helps control your blood sugar ....try to get at least 300 mg a day of magnesium. chromium picolinate...same as above, only more so. I would take one 200mcg capsule with a meal at least. You can take more if you want, but not more than 3 a day unless you are diabetic. other vitamins you should add: Vitamin A (don't over do this one...look for the daily RDA) Vitamin E (get a natural, mixed tocopherol kind...I take 400 IU a day) Vitamin D (at least 400 IU a day) Calcium (look up suggested amount...1,000 mg a day or more?) other trace minerals..maybe a good multivitamin will have these If you are bothered too much by craving, the above nutrients, especially chromium picolinate & B vitamins & magnesium will help a lot. If you need more help, take L-Glutamine - between meals...with NO OTHER PROTEIN or within 2 hours of any other protein source/food It will help your cravings. It's even been used with some success with alcoholics & I've tried it for carb/sugar cravings & it does help! Oh yeah, get off the antacids & get some digestive enzymes with hydrochoric acid instead. Or take some apple cider vinegar. When you have enough stomach acid, it triggers a valve to close that prevents the stomach contents from getting up into your esophogus. If your body is not making enough acid, you will have this problem. The probiotics will also help with any digestive problem you might have. You especially need them since you had your gallbladder removed. Take Milk Thistle to help your liver every day, too. Cabbage & other cruciferous veggies(brocolli, etc) have Endol 3 carbonal. That helps kill of the helicobacter pylori bacteria that can cause ulcers.

They have natural carbs. Low carb diet is just like any other diet works as long as you are on in FOR LIFE. You get off the diet, and the weight will be back plus extra pounds on top of it. Besides, our body does need carbs, and completely eliminating them from the diet is not a good idea. Larissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not for losing weight, even though limiting carbs for many people will help with weight loss. The diet I posted was for diagnosing/treating a systemic yeast infection. Fruits do have natural sugars. Potatoes are a starchy vegetable. These are both good healthy foods. But for someone with a yeast problem or a diabetic, these foods have to be limited. I have 4 diabetics in my family & if they eat fruits or potatoes, their blood sugar goes up high. Your body's blood glucose rises when you eat sugar, even though it is a 'natural' sugar from fruit. Same for high starchy foods. Your body has no trouble converting starches, even good carbs, into higher blood glucose levels. That's the sugar in your blood. That's fine for most folks, but is bad for diabetics. For persons with systemic yeast infections, a higher blood glucose feeds the yeast. That'w why the diet limits high fructose fruits & high starchy foods.
