I also mentioned this to my Registered Dietician and to my physician and they said there was no validity to candida overgrowth and weight loss. They said it was just another scheme to sell products. They also said the spit test was not a true measurement of candida.

Who do you believe!!! I just don't know!!!

I don't know...all I know is how well I feel, and I don't trust doctors....but that's another thread...... :yes the products sure don't hurt to take and not having dairy in your diet for awhile would be a nice change for your system. I just know the difference it has made for my DH and I. And best of all the candida symptoms i was suffering from are almost gone!!!! :nod It broke a 7 month stall for DH and I've lost a pant size....go figure??? ensive

Hence another reason why I don't trust doctors. This is not a new concept. It's been around for much longer than many of us have been alive. It's just not necessarily "taught" to all western medicine doctors. It's a natural remedy for dozens of symptoms that lots of westernized medicine doctors would prefer to prescribe drugs for.... or diagnose patients with diseases instead.

Personally, I don't think things like IBS and Fibromyalgia even exist. I think they are nothing more then symptoms of severe candida.... but that's only my opinion. (I also think it's possible that diseases like Multiple Sclerosis could be avoided if caught and treated early... with nothing more then a candida cleanse)


Footnote.... I am not saying all western doctors are bad, just a bad glitch in the system that makes things look bad for the "good" doctors.

I do believe that Candida can slow one's metabolism. One of the reasons we lose so effectively on Atkins is that we are correcting our metabolism through the elimination of all processed foods, flours, sugars, etc.

So it stands to reason that if Candida is thriving in our bodies, then our metabolism is not in balance.

Something else that is scary. I work in a hospital and I process paperwork on organ donations. If an organ donor is rejected by the donor bank, the reason why has to be listed. Yesterday, I processed a rejection due to "Candidas".

i did the test, but it didnt exactly have legs it sort of did but they werent straight it was more like cotton candy looking? make sense? hope so and some went to the bottom - so does that mean i have it? so i give up ALL dairy is that the only thing.thanks

[Mindykins]

You give up all forms of sugar & starch (which you should have already), and all fermented/brine/smoked products (alcohol, vinegar, mustard, soy sauce, lunch meats) and any products that could contain mold, like cheese, mushrooms some nuts. Stay away from fruit until your symptoms clear up. Basically it would mean doing induction again and cut out the products above that are legal on induction.

You know what else candidas causes? HAIR LOSS!! You know how you ALWAYS see that post here about people losing a lot of their hair. I wonder if it is due to candidas? Stands to reason to me....

Missy

With the spit test...if it is clear and doesn't sink then you DON'T have it.

Hey...

Can anyone recommend a candida cleansing product...I'm dying to try this out. If anyone can also recommend a general colon cleansing product i could find at gnc...i'm really interested in trying one out and seeing the results

I feel EXACTLY the same especially after clearing up my husbands gallbladder from being removed with a liver cleanse!!! Heck, tyhe doctors make $10,000 and operation to remove the gallbladder and they are whipping out 4-5 a day.....GEEZ!!! :nono (almost buying a Hummer a day...LOL) Doctor couldn't believe what we accomplished. That gallbladder attack was a blessing in disquise as it got us to be aware of this candida....I don't even miss dairy....both of us feel SO much better!!! it is WAY underdiagnosed....Doctors just keep pumping us with drugs to mask the problem and everyone keeps getting more and more symtoms....it's sad. :sadblinky I'll do natural healing and cleansing anyday to prevent disease.
