Help - Throat/voice problem
Hi,I am a 40 y.o. male desparate for a solution to a throat condition that I've had for 6 yrs.
Brief history: Travelled in Asia for long time, picked up the usual stuff along the way - giardia, diarhhoea (long term) etc. Then back home.
Moved to flat with the a damp/mold problem and then probs really started including Candida, parasites, viruses etc. Anyway that's all been sorted now through TBM/naturopathy. The only problems left are candida and my voice. Symptoms:
Constantly clearing copious amounts of thick white phlegm which is preventing me from projecting my voice. It sounds strangulated and have to force air out. Lack of resonance.
Phlegm can also be thick, gelatinous, globular when symptoms not so bad, ie looser.
Sometimes hard to clear throat at all. When tongue clear of white coating, throat is easier to clear.
Occasional sinus blockage.
Otherwise in good health. Good diet (80% alkaline at moment). Low diary. Dietary factors seem to make no difference.
Have observed symptoms go from average to bad then to average again.
When throated is externally squeezed, I am aware of a rotting vegetable odour that emerges!
I am truly clueless as to what I can do about this. Whatever changes/supplements I have made/taken have made no difference. Maybe bacterial/candida?
I am blessed that I have found this forum and hope someone could share any ideas that they have with me.
Thank you....
Peter

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
At least part of the problem is damp - move if you can. Candida means the immune system is a bit under par. Try live yogurt/lactobacillus.. If you can get a decent soy milk use that and avoid cows milk.
Just for voice problem try Arum Tryph [used in the past for Clergymans sore throat.]
But the problem is deeper than that .
If you travelled extensively you almost certainly had a number of vaccinations and these may be at the root of the problem . Post details of past jabs?.

Thanks for response. I moved from that apartment 4 years ago.
Vaccinations included typhoid, cholera, hep C (immunoglobulin?), tetanus booster and yellow fever.
Eating a lot of Kefir (admittedly from cows milk, albeit organic) at the moment which should have high probiotic content.

Warts - have had problems in past with warts on feet. Very small eruptions on hands in summer heat.
Very easy to fall asleep. Only exception is if I wake in the early hours and if I don't settle immediately my mind can then race for hours.
Yes to shiny ish skin, not greasy.
Normal feet in bed. Rarely stool in rising. Moderate breakfast, normal 1000h. Occasional itchy skin.
Never headaches except as result of treatment or detox. Two maybe three blows to head as kid resulting in concussion, momentary loss of unconsciousness.
Not sensitive to touch/pressure. Enjoy/feel good in open air. Rare desire for cold drinks, occasional sour burp and no inflammation of eyes.
Thank you passkey for your help. I am truly appreciative!
Regards,
Peter

We have 2 remedies here Thuja and Nat Sulph.
The indications point more strongly to thuja so lets take that 1st.
My normal proceedure is to use a single divided dose .
on 3 sucessive nights take Thuja 1] 30c 2] 1m 3] 10m . Take the tablet 10 min after brushing teeth and rinsing mouth. Do not use a medicated toothpaste. Go straight to sleep [hopefully] . Report after 7/10 days
Oh dear Xmas is here = say 1st few days in Jan.

Hi Passkey,
The 10M dose is not available on this website. Having mailed the webmaster of this site, he said it's only available on the US site (URL ??). He also said that the first two doses should be adequate. Maybe you are the same person, I don't know. Either way, I'm now confused. Can you clarify / revise your last posting?

Peter
