Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi all ~ first I want to say thank you SO much because I have suffered from a mysterious ailment for almost 3 years now ~ I had just about every test and examination by my doctor and specialists and no-one could tell me what was wrong. However after reading your articles on Candida and starting on Cream of Tartar ~ I am slowly starting to get well. I have more energy and am slowly starting to get back to having a social life. Thank you all!! My question is however ~ during the illness I have suffered terribly from swollen ankles at night and abdominal bloating at all other times ~ and still do. Is there a natural diruretic I can take for this? Or is there certain fruits or vegetables that act as diuretics? Looking forward to hearing back from you all.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 One of the best diuretics is water. Make sure you are drinking plenty. Your body will hoard it if it thinks you are not going to give it more. I swell every period and sometimes for no reason. I up my intake of water and with in a couple days I am back to my normal self. Though I should say too, over loaded Candida count can also cause this problem. Yeast is rough on everything, right down to the cellular level, where the water retention starts. Put your feet up often and rub your tummy (up the right across the middle to the left, down the left then across the bottom to the right) I use this circle massage whenever I feel yucky in the tummy. Good luck and give it time. It took a long time for you to get to where you are, it will take time to get you back to normal! , " Amanda " <amandahfinlay wrote: > > Hi all ~ first I want to say thank you SO much because I have suffered > from a mysterious ailment for almost 3 years now ~ I had just about > every test and examination by my doctor and specialists and no-one > could tell me what was wrong.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 In addition to drinking more water (muscle tested for appropriate tension for your body), I use Nature's Tea by Unicity. It's a natural cleansing tea that works wonders for bloating, water retention etc. All natural.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Natural diuretics are as close as your nearest Dandelion patch. They don't call it Pissenlit in French for nothing. If your yard is snowed under like mine is right now, see if your local health food store has it. Or Chickweed, or Cleavers, or Corn Silk.... The list is long. If you'd like something nicer tasting, with fungus fighting qualities to boot, ask me for a sample of totally yummy Rainforest Treasure Tea. ienvan Ien in the Kootenays http://freegreenliving.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 There are quite a few herbs and foods that help as diuretics, but as strange as it sounds, what you need to do is drink MORE water. I know it looks as if you are already holding too much because your ankles are swelling, but that will stop once you start drinking more water and helping your system flush out toxins. If you are not drinking much water now, start slowly, but build up to what is recommended by The Water Cure--which is half your body weight in ounces. You take your weight, say you weigh 150 pounds, then half that would be 75 pounds, so that would be 75 ounces of water you'd drink daily. You should also--if you can stand the taste--add a quarter teaspoon REAL salt (like Himalayan salt, or Celtic Sea salt, NOT table salt) per quart of water. This adds the minerals your body needs. If you don't like the taste of the salt in the water (I don't) you can always put the salt on your food, or just stir some up in a small glass of water first thing in the morning and then quickly drink that glass, then follow with something you like, either more plain water or juice.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 There is more to treating a yeast infection than Cream of Tartar. Continue to learn more about how diet changes can help, especially getting off foods that 'feed' the yeast, such as sugars & refined carbohydrates, which quickly turn to sugar after you eat them. A high protien/low carb diet will help get rid of excess fluid retention. Also, take some vitamin C & then lie down. That always works, according to my sister. You should add probiotics to your health regime. That will not only help in your fight against the yeast infection, but will help or stop the abdominal bloating. You should ask your doctor about checking to see if your ovaries are ok. Abdominal bloating can be a sign of ovarian cancer. I don't mean to scare you & the probiotics may be the help you need, but it's worth checking out. J > Candida and starting on Cream of Tartar ~ I am slowly starting to get > Well.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 You need to clear your lymph glands. the lymphatic system is a network which includes the spleen, thymus and tonsils. It carries the sewage of the body away from the tissues and neutralizes it. If not working properly you will experience aches and pains, inflammations, swelling, fatty deposits, cellulite or bloating. Most overweight women have sluggish lymph glands. Foods to avoid:anything that contains chemicals, preservatives, food coloring, artificial flavoring, stabilizers etc. most fast food, packaged or prepared foods. Avoid fatty foods, excessive animal proteins,sugars and simple carbs Sweets, white rice, white flour, white pasta. Do: drink lots of water so that the lymph can flow properly and carry away the toxins eat fresh fruit, homemade juices, veggies that are raw or steamed pure apple juice, pure cranberry juice, no sweeteners. can use 1/4 of each to 1/2 of water. essential fatty acids, (EFA'S) are much needed for a properly working lymph system, flax seed, flax oil, fresh raw nuts and seeds,avocados, cold pressed oils. Herbs for cleansing the lymph glands: echinacea and astragalus combined: Tea 1 cup 3 times a day tincture: combined, 1 teaspoon 3 times a day Wild indigo root: tea , 1/3 teaspoon root for each cup of tea, drink a cup 3 times a day tincture: 1/4 teaspoon 3 times a day do not take if pregnant or nursing Cleavers: tea: 3 tsps of the herb to one cup water 3 times a day tincture: 1 teaspoon 3 times per day Not for diabetics or hypo glycemics golden seal: tincture: 1/2 teaspoon three times a day. ( have something good tasting to wash away the taste but leave it in mouth as long as you can, it will enter the blood stream faster) tea tastes horrible only for strong hearts: 1/2 teaspoon per cup of water, 3 times per day.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks for this info (wasn't intended for me) however I am currently working my way through a Certificate Four in massage and this weekend I am starting my elective subject " Lymphatic Drainage " this info will come in handy.
