Hi,
Yes i still take silica, but i dont take the phytolacca berry any more in worry that it will kill off my sperm, which i have read about.
Well i have had acne (spots) and this rash for along time now and i was wondering if it was candida so i was tested and it turns out that i do actually have it.
I did however take antibiotics ages ago so this is probabily what started it off.
Is there anything that i can do?
I dont really want to take any drugs that my doctor gives me they allways give me alot of unwanted side effects.

Thanks alot.

you can either give a lot of specific symptoms on your digestion, moods, discharges, skin, etc. personality - to give us a good overall pciture of yourself to help see your remedy - or - you can buy the homeopathic candida remedy. there are also homeopathic remedies specifically for candida treatment sold in various pharmacies and health stores.
it is important that you cut down on sugar, yeasty foods incl. foods fermented to be produced whilst treating the candida - obviously still eat a balanced diet though!!..

erika last decade
Also, i am sometimes very depressed, my digestion is ok but i feel that the antibiotics killed off all of my good bacteria so i needs them to properly digest my food, my skin is acne prone, and i often like my own attention i am anxtious sometimes and sometimes argue alot at people.
 
windwaker last decade
Yes in the UK.

a lot of uk pharmacies sell homeopathic combination remedies for candida treatment. Even Boots sell their own! for the single remedy candida albicans you can ring or email helios pharmacy, or any of the other uk homeopathic pharmacies. with helios pharmacy you can speak to a homeopath I think for advice on potency if you phone.
I am wondering if your diagnosis of candida is reliable - what sort of test did you have to diagnose it??? if it is reliable then use the candida remedies, but if it is guesswork then yo uare better sticking to more traditional homeopathy and giving a lot more detail about yoursel - thirsty? cold? warm? what makes you argue? + more

Thanks for the info,
I did a saliva test, this is what it said to do:

'when you awake in the morning, before you put anything into your mouth, work up some saliva and spit it into a clear glass of water. You may want to spit in the glass 3 or 4 times, just make sure you have enough saliva in the glass to cover the surface of the water. You want to observe the reaction of the saliva in the glass about every few minutes for up to 30 minutes. If there are strings coming down from your saliva, if the water turned cloudy, or if your saliva sank to the bottom, you probably have candida!'

I did that and the saliva sank to the bottom in strings and the water went cloudy.

I don't know this test - it sounds interesting though! Not sure whether it would be reliable or not.

Hi,
I found it here http://www.stopyeast.com/saliva.html although multiple websites recommend it, look on google.
 
windwaker last decade
candida- I looked on the site and it looked very impressive, but I'm not convinced by the test as there is no reference to why they think this test should work (no research/names of 'inventor' etc).
out of interest do you have any of the other symptoms they say come with candida or is it just your saliva bothering you at present?
 
erika last decade
You need to be sure it is Candida for starters. A lot of candida infections are mixed up when they could be bacterial, parasitic or combination of the above. Candida mainly becomes a problem when it damages the intestinal wall causing leaky gut, altering the immune and gut environment and wreaking havoc with...you.

Get a good doctor with a complementary attitude and get a CDSA test done. Great Smokies in the US will do it. Australians can use Histolab (Sydney) or Analytical Research Labs (Melb). This will confirm the presence of yeasts, parasites and bacterias and tell you the state of your gut. When this indicates a serious problem, you need to eliminate the cause and heal the gut to restore balance. This can be complex business.

For candida, there is plenty of info out there on using herbs as a potent treatment that IMHO is a better option than homeopathy in the initial stage. My homeopath won't attempt yeasts. Supplements can include GoldenSeal (Berberine), Pau D'arco, Grapefruit Seed Extract (Citricidal), Olive leaf extract, coconut oil and a few others.

Be aware that until the gut is healed, supplements can be a waste of time and your immune system may respond by throwing up intollerances to foods because of the wrong particles leaking into the blood stream.

There is a lot of misinformation about Candida around. Stick to the facts and definitive tests and assume nothing. Work with open minded practitioners and for the herbs, a herbalist. Be sure about what you are treating before treating it. Be prepared to handle herxheimer reactions as you kill pathogens off that may make you feel rubbish for a day or two.

windwaker - hi
did the acne start after you took the antibiotics? how long a course of antibiotics was it and what did you take it for? - this would be a good place to start to find out whether you need another remedy. I'm not convinced you need the candida remedies - they may well be a waste of your time and money.
candida can give rise to lots and lots of symptoms I agree - but you would need more than the acne and saliva to be sure you have candida - i.e. bloating, wind, food sensitivity problems, sometimes all sorts of other ones.
let us know also a bit more about yourself - to give us information imagine I am designing a clone of you and tell me what would be the main characteristics in some detail!! Don't worry I can't really clone!!!:)

Hi,
I went on the antibiotics because of the acne, i was on them for about 2 months and this was when i got the rashes.
I stopped the antibiotics straight after.

I too have them symptoms, bloating, wind and food sensitivities (i.e. lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance)

Which other info would you like about me? In order to make my double that is. :-)

I appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Tom

Marl thanks for the advise, i was thinking of getting a proper test done anyway.

I have just put an order in for them herbs :D.
 
windwaker last decade
gaertner 30c - 3 doses daily for 3 days may help if there are residual effect left from the antibiotic treatment.

Tom-

I'll throw in my opinion if you want another one. I think candida is an emotional issue. I think it is attracted to negativity and we usually have to go thru several layers to get it honestly out. I don't see why homeopathy couldn't be a helpful part of this! That's good news.

I only give you my opinion bc many of us health-minded ppl w/ candida will run around trying to be perfect to heal, when that kind of thinking (fear and perfectionistic drive) is making the candida stick in us in the first place.

I really like _Nourishing Traditions_ by Sally Fallon, and _Patient Heal Thyself_ by Jordan Roubins (sp?).

Take care!

I do agree that problems like candida, parasites and other gut pathogens are attracted by the emotional in the first place. My homeopath is using the combined approach of slow 30C remedies to ease the mental that allows these problems and uses bowen in conjunction to help the body.

Essentially though, I maintain that the actual pathogen needs a more robust removal technique or combination of techniques combined with homeopathy to change the environment that encourages it.

Tom, looks like the 2 months of antibo's certainly helped you along. I had a similar bad experience a month ago on 3 very potent drugs for a short period of time to eliminate an entrenched parasite though I cannot be sure it was yeast. Candida is a normal resident of the human digestive tract. The real problems occour when it transitions from blobby form to a spidery root like form that breaks the gut barrier and causes a leaky gut. I also am IgA deficient (1 in 600) people which decreases my protection factor. (you may want to test this too).

Regarding the herbs, try to find a good herbalist to guide you through and rotate the herbs around so the yeast does not get tolerant - like 4 days for each on rotation. Herbal tincture is a great way but start gently on the dose. Slowly and patiently is better. IMHO the saliva test is neither here nor there so try to do the CDSA even though it is not cheap. There is no point attacking just one thing if there are others down there to fill the gap!
 
marl51 last decade
whether emotional, parasitic or whatever - gaertner 30c will help your guts get over the antibiotic effects and begin to heal - your skin should benefit also. you may need to continue after the 3 days suggested - if you wonder about this after taking it then come back with your symptoms and see if a few more doses would help.
