Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 Heres another Michelle From my perspective, in your response on the subject of candida there is a bit of truth and a bit of misconception on someone's part, not necessarily yours directly, that I feel compelled to put my two cents in on. Since I haven't been " contributing " to the list for a while though I have tried to keep up, by way of background to my comments, I think it appropriate to note that my comments are not based on reading a text on the subject, but rather from direct first hand experience with a good number of clients who have come to me looking for answers that the allopathic community was unable to provide. In all but a couple of cases, and then because the people didn't do what was suggested, the individuals have had remarkable success in dealing with their candida problems and are now able to live lives unaffected by what was a constant problem before.. That said, I'll comment on your response. <<Treating for Candida has to be modified for the individual. It is rather complicated and long lasting -->> " Treating " candida in the absence of any testing for the presence of heavy metals, particularly mercury (Hg) in the system is akin to doing what the allopaths do all the time with so many different " disorders " . - and - " treating " it as they do with antibiotics only compounds the problem. In virtually every case of " chronic " or systemic candida - the stuff that just keeps coming back over and over, regardless of what is done, is tied directly to the presence of Hg in the system which protects the yeast colony that is able to live in closer proximity to Hg than any of the " tools " that medicine, allopathic, herbal or other, has at its disposal to deal with it. As a result, when diflucan or one of the other drugs, or herbal preparations are used they kill off ALL the bacteria - beneficial and pathogenic - that are outside of Hg's area of influence, there still remains a relatively good size colony of candida that will multiply and overcolonize as soon as the medicine is cleared from the system. The proper " balance " of beneficial to pathogenic bacteria in the system is 85%/15%. With Hg compromised systems the balance starts at that and gradually declines to 70/30 and with the help of antibiotics - which is what most folks opt for initially - the balance is thrown further and further off until people develop all sorts of ancillary " disorders " that the body must also fight. What also happens as the colony grows in size is that the yeast becomes what I call " super yeast " and instead of just replicating itself by spewing spore as most fungal infections do, this critter develops a rhizome like root that it sends out in search of a rich source of blood - and once tapped in, it spews spores into the bloodstream where it can then go to all parts of the body and find new places to live and prosper. There are a ton of folks that discount the " systemic yeast " problem, but having seen it too often, I can't even begin to buy into that train of thought.
