Oh I am sorry, I like this group

[Guest guest]

Well I like this group everything is on here. Health issues and others. Do not mind me, I tend to over react on everything. Plus I have some health issues such as fungus to ask about. All pills for fungus seem to be hard on the Liver and I do not want to take them.. At present I use the Greek Yogurt, and liquid probiotics. also ionic liquid minerals. I was told probably 20 yrs ago that I have Candida I think it is all the same. Is there any herb that would be good for Candida. sharonLooking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?

Well I cant say for sure about people fungus pills---but I killed my cat stupidly with fungal medication---which they didn't tell me affects the liver. Only looking back now do i realize what happened--because they tried to tell me he had a tumour---when in effect it was his liver that had swollen up from the medication. I can't live my stupidity down to this day. I would be very careful about that kind of meds myself now. Cheers Beakerley983 wrote: Well I like this group everything is on here.

How can you get past having hurt your friend? You had no way of

knowing what this pill could do to your pet. It is time to stop

feeling guilty about it. It was a hard lesson to learn but learn you

have. In turn you can share your experience with other people and

help to educate. The more education people get the healthier our pet

will be. Edith

Just remember when you gave that to your friend (cat) you did it with

nothing but the best intentions. It is the vet and big Pharma that

should cary the guilt not you, they know what they are doing and they

get all kinds of medical journals on this stuff everyday, the kind of

journals that us civilians are not privy to. I know this because I used

to work for a vet. Through working for this vet and reading some of

those journals I know better than to ever put (spelling is an issue of

mine lol) ibruprohpine in my own mouth, let alone most the drugs they

give our animals.

 

For future reference people need to know that most vacines you give your

animals can kill them. I am not saying they will, but there are many

cases that they do. A trusted vet friend of mine told me that. She is

a holistic vet and she quit being a traditional vet for that very

reason. Find a good holistic vet, they are out there and they have all

come from the same training traditional vets have come from, they just

extended their education farther. As for the laws on vacines with your

pets you can also get around that with certian blood tests. I myself do

get the rabbies vacine for my dogs (all 7 of them), but I live on a farm

and they are in the woods all the time... but that is the only vacine

they get.

 

There I go againd running my mouth out on the keyboard... Anyway, my

original point stands, - you did everything you could to help your cat,

your intentions were nothing but good with love, don't beat yourself up

anymore, it was their fault not yours. Janette

Candida: An In-Home Anti-Fungal Program

 

When you want to fight candida and eliminate the fungus-like yeast,

you have to address it with a variety of weapons. Certainly friendly

bacteria is one of those weapons, but the trick is in how much you

take. A good anti candida program is to spend 2 to 3 weeks taking all

the right supplements in large quantities. Here's the program:

 

• Start by taking small quantities of acidophilus

(http://tinyurl.com/24ajq) and bifidus (http://tinyurl.com/26rur). One

of each for a few days, then 2 of each, and so on. Take your

probiotics with a glass of water first thing in the a.m. on an empty

stomach. Get to 10 of each, then add one spectrabiotic

(http://tinyurl.com/6gzqa). I would suggest opening all the capsules,

pour the powder on a tablespoon and swallow it with water (unless you

don't mind all these capsules going into your body – that's a lot of

capsules, although they are vegetarian). Build up to 10 acidophilus,

10 bifidus and 10 spectrabiotic a day. Stay at that level for 2 weeks

and then start decreasing the amounts until you get to what is

comfortable for you to take daily and maintain your health. For

example, I personally take 3 each of these probiotics a day.

 

• When you start taking 10 of each of the friendly bacteria every

day, start taking fresh organic garlic every day.

 

Some call garlic the ultimate antibacterial, antifungal and anti-viral

medicinal food. Garlic is recommended in this nutritional program for

its healing properties with candida. Garlic is best used fresh. Raw

organic garlic destroys bacteria, boosts immune function and may help

prevent cancer.

 

Garlic is high in sulfur, which is one of the most important minerals

needed by your body to do its detoxification work.

 

To maximize garlic's superlative antibacterial, antiviral, and

anti-parasitical activity, use it in the following way: Before going

to sleep at night, finely chop 1 to 2 cloves of garlic. Put the

chopped garlic on a tablespoon and swallow it with water. Do not chew

it. There will be absolutely no garlic odor on your breath if you do

not chew the garlic.

 

Your first bowel movement after starting will have a garlic odor.

This is a wonderful sign that this superfood was active in your GI

tract while you were sleeping and regenerating. Garlic tirelessly

patrols your intestinal tract all night long, as a " toxic-garbage cop "

helping to neutralize, dismantle, and eliminate bacteria, viruses,

parasites and carcinogens. "

 

Build up to 3 cloves every night. Do not eat raw garlic more than 2

weeks in a row.

 

• You need to get to the level of 10 each of acidophilus, bifidus,

spectrabiotic, and 3 cloves of garlic - stay at this level for at

least 2 weeks. Candida should no longer be a problem.

 

You can then reduce everything and drop amounts slowly until you get

down to 5 of each and no garlic after 3 to 4 weeks, then drop the

amounts further to 3 of each and you should stay at these levels of

friendly bacteria.

 

• Drink this tea once a day:

 

" The following sweet herbs can be used daily as support for the

intestinal tract. In the initial stages of this healing process, I

recommend that you use this tea once or twice a day for the first

three months.

 

The ingredients for the tea are anise, caraway and fennel seeds, and

ginger. Take a heaping teaspoon of each of the different seeds and

add water to make a cup of tea. Slice two or three thin pieces of

organic fresh ginger. Bring to a boil and continue to boil for 5

minutes. This tea is very calming to the stomach, especially if you

are going through any uncomfortable detoxification symptoms. It

reduces gas, nausea and bloating. Ginger is known to be a very strong

antibacterial and antifungal agent. "

 

• High quality fiber is important in the fight against candida.

Research has shown the health benefits of a diet high in fiber. They

include regularity, lower cholesterol, protection against certain

forms of cancer, and stabilized blood sugar levels.

 

To maintain intestinal hygiene, you need about 35 to 40 grams of

different fiber sources everyday (e.g., bran, cellulose, lignin,

pectin, etc.), all found in different organically grown, ripe seasonal

fruit, whole grains, and colorful vegetables. Eating these foods

provides the added fiber that will bulk up in your intestines, gently

sweeping the colon clean of extra estrogen, hormones, toxins, waste

debris of cellular metabolism and soak up excess cholesterol. Do not

try to " mega-dose " on one type of fiber, like oat bran, as you need

each (all) of the different basic fibers for proper bowel cleansing.

 

The following foods are particularly known to add to the healthy

condition of your intestine, specifically because of their fiber

content: Flax seed, also known for its anti-harmful bacteria

properties, prunes, mangos and coconut meat.

 

• Virgin coconut oil: One of the most amazing aspects of coconut

oil is its ability to fight infections. When coconut oil is consumed,

the body transforms its unique fatty acids into powerful anti

microbial powerhouses capable of defeating some of the most notorious

disease-causing microorganisms. Even the super germs are vulnerable

to these lifesaving coconut derivatives. Coconut oil is, in essence,

a natural anti bacterial, anti viral, anti fungal, and anti protozoal

food.

 

Coconut oil's anti microbial effects come from its unique composition

of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). Coconut oil is composed of 48

percent lauric acid, 7 percent capric acid, 8 percent caprylic acid,

and .5 percent carproic acid. These medium-chain fatty acids give

coconut oil its amazing anti microbial properties and are generally

absent from all other vegetables and animal oils with the exception of

butter.

 

MCFA are natural substances the body knows how to use for its benefit.

They are harmless to us while they are deadly to certain

microorganisms. For example, most bacteria and viruses are encased in

a coat of lipids (fats). The fatty acids that make up this outer

membrane or skin hold together the organism's DNA. Lipid coated

viruses and bacteria are easily killed by MCFA, which primarily

destroy these organisms by disrupting their lipid membranes. MCFA,

being similar to those in the micro-organisms' membrane, are easily

attracted to and absorbed into it. Unlike the other fatty acids in

the membrane, MCFA are much smaller and, therefore, weaken the already

nearly fluid membrane to such a degree that it disintegrates. The

membrane literally splits open, spilling its insides and killing the

organism. Our white blood cells quickly clean up and dispose of the

cellular debris. MCFA kill invading organisms without causing any

known harm to human tissues.

 

The potential coconut oil has in treating and preventing a wide

assortment of infections is truly astounding, ranging from the flu to

life-threatening conditions such as AIDS.

 

• Enzyme therapy (http://tinyurl.com/mkwo): Systemic enzyme

therapy is used to reduce inflammation, stimulate the immune system,

improve circulation, help speed tissue repair, bring nutrients to the

damaged area, remove waste products, improve health, strengthen the

body as a whole, and build general resistance.

 

Digestive enzyme therapy is used to improve the digestion of food,

reduce stress on the gastrointestinal mucosa, help maintain normal pH

levels, detoxify the body, and promote the growth of healthy

intestinal flora. Digestive enzymes also serve as replacements for

the body's pancreatic enzymes, leaving the pancreatic enzymes free to

perform other functions in the body such as boosting immunity.

 

Take three digestive enzymes on an empty stomach three times a day and

three digestive enzymes with each meal.

 

• Avoid excess fat in your diet: Excess fat is the culprit in

candida, more than sugar, per se. When fat levels in the blood rise,

so does blood sugar, because excess fat inhibits insulin from

performing its function of escorting sugar out of the bloodstream. The

excess fat lines the blood vessel walls, the cells' insulin receptor

sites, the sugar molecules themselves, and the insulin with a thin

coating of fat, thus blocking and inhibiting normal metabolic

activity. Too much sugar in the blood is as life threatening as too

little and can result in serious illness or death. Yeast, or candida,

is a constant presence in the blood; it serves as a life preservation

mechanism, blooming when there is an excess of sugar in the blood

stream to bring blood sugar down to a non-threatening level. When the

sugar is distributed and used by the cells of the body, the yeast

quickly dies off as it is supposed to. If fat levels stay chronically

high due to a poor diet, sugar will remain in the bloodstream and feed

the large candida colonies instead of feeding the 18 trillion cells of

your body. Starved for fuel, these cells can no longer metabolize

energy, and you become tired, and feel rundown. Because all

carbohydrate, fat, and protein that we eat is converted to simple

sugar (glucose) if it is to be used by the cells for fuel, the way out

of this cycle is to consume less fat. When fat levels drop, the sugar

starts to get processed and distributed again, and the yeast levels

drop because there is no longer excess sugar available.

 

Our recommendation is to use coconut oil for cooking and no other type

of fats (butter, margarine, olive oil, ....etc.).

 

• Take 6 to 8 capsules of wild-crafted blue green algae

(http://tinyurl.com/g1iz and http://tinyurl.com/iw4k) because of its

incredible nutrient profile, especially the carotenoids family.

Carotenoids are potent antioxidants needed to enhance the health of

the digestive system especially the intestinal lining.

 

• Take an antioxidant supplement like Coenzyme Q10

(http://tinyurl.com/f1f7) - two capsules a day with food. Read the

research at the end of the article about Q10 and Candida.

 

• Here's a list of foods that feed yeast and that you should

avoid, not just to stop the yeast infections, but to stay healthy forever:

 

Breads with processed flours (white or brown), pastas from processed

flours, bottled juice (even if the juice was organic, because of

pasteurization the sugar in the juice become processed sugar), wine,

beer, and dairy products (cheese and milk products) because they

create mucous that feeds the yeast.

 

• Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of pure water (not tap water) in

between meals.

 

You might go through candida die-off periods where you are not feeling

good (bloated, congested....etc.). Don't stop the program, because

candida will come back even stronger. These feelings should go away

quickly.

Title: Does gastrointestinal Candida albicans

prevent ubiquinone absorption?

 

Authors: Krone CA, Elmer GW, Ely JT, Fudenberg HH,

Thoreson J. Applied Research Institute, PO Box 1925,

Palmerston North, New Zealand. cakrone

 

Ubiquinones (coenzyme Qs (CoQ)) are essential for

oxidative phosphorylation in yeasts and humans,

although the isomers present in each are different.

The human coenzyme Q, CoQ10, is administered orally

for the treatment of heart disease and other

disorders. Some patients, however, require much higher

doses than others to attain a therapeutic CoQ10 blood

level. We propose that one possible explanation for

this variability is Candida colonization of the GI

tract. Many common medical treatments including

antibiotics and anti-hyperchlorhydric agents increase

the risk of GI tract Candida colonization. Subsequent

uptake and utilization of supplemental CoQ10 by the

yeast could diminish availability for the human

subject. Data from one patient and an in vitro pilot

study using two pathogenic strains of C. albicans

support this hypothesis. If C. albicans in the GI

tract can hinder availability and interfere with

therapeutic effects of CoQ10, it could be of clinical

significance for large numbers of patients.
