Hi bleauberry,
thanks for your post. Wow.. this is turning into a battlefield here. The stuff is manifesting on my skin.. my tongue after the first days on the diet turned BLACK. (Donna Gates "Body Ecology Diet") My tongue has white stuff on it every couple hours again after i have cleaned it.. i try to add some clove oil to my toothpaste and brush it. Plus i got shower gel and nosespray with grape seed extract. And a tongue cleaner from the health food store. So as to not reinfect my own tummy.
Any methods against skin manifestations of candida that have proven effective?
I will try to go the natural route. i mean nature provides with potent stuff, as you mentioned also. What i eat now is raw coconut-kefir, raw sauerkraut, kimchi.. (yes on nardil :S), raw cabbage and cale.. coconut oil. Alkaline grain like seeds (or was it the other way around?).
Seaweed, seasalt.. vegan protein. olive oild. LOTs of Minerals.. probiotic. Natural antifungals.. and so forthSo this should be a cautionary tale to everyone who starts overeating on antidepressants. This just might be what "drug poop-out" really is in cases.
Although im plagued (really) by the severity it has hit me with.. im fighting a battle and i regained brand new hope:)
Think about it guys.. maybe you "got fungus", too and get way too caught up in the whole meds world. My Psychiatrist admitted that he had several guys going away from meds to raw organic food.
And he said this guy he is in contact with is "doin GREAT". He sounded real enthusiastic about it:)I have gone off everything except nardil and low dose ambien(new) now.
My Pdoc and me felt its time to give my brain a break from antipsychotics. Furthermore i got a handfull of xanax just as something in the back of my head if i feel all too crappy during detox.. (or life:S ). Not looking at taking that regularly at all.@Bleauberry: Do you think the skin manifestations should be reason to go slow with antifungals, so as to not overwhelm the body with toxins?
Im not so sure if this should be considered a die-off reaction. I mean its living fungus stemming out of the intestine. Maybe the fungus is trying to go down that route, so as to survive in my body. (now that it has become uncomfortable for the fungus in my intestine)
What do you think?Ps.: Yes i, too am worried about raw sauerkraut and nardil. I eat it slowly, not on empty stomach and got the nifedipine around :s
Just a side note for those cruising the web and not knowing about it: If youre sensitive to tyramine reaction with MAOI, you may die from doing this. Extreme caution advised. Think of it the same way as if you would handle battery acid. (Sauerkraut on nardil is no good idea without knowing what your doing and having an antidote for high BP). at all.
I dont advise everyone to go off their meds.. and i wont go off my nardil either in any near future. But i urgently suggest to try this diet/get candida checked out. And NO binge eating.. change your diet, if that doesnt help change your meds. I came very close to doing that before the candida insight "hit me". Candida makes you crave sugar and carbs!
What i also found really interesting is a link between traumatization and candida growth. Repressed emotions were also mentioned in several places. Very interesting stuff and im getting all caught up in that whole topic lol.
I got a severe case though and a "mutated" strain or what not. Its a more serious one according to my dr. Just forgot the name. Candida .. not albicans sth else.Anyway.. there is sth going on again with me. And i try to embrace it.
Peace Ld
> Probably the most effective substances I've encountered are garlic and berberine. With garlic, the medicine is in the odor, so avoid any de-odorized brands of tabs or capsules. Except the ones that have an enteric coating but are smelly inside. Those are potent.

> In terms of meds, diflucan would knock all the stuff out in about 3 days. I've been on and off it several times at varying doses of as low as 25mg and as high as 200mg.

Even a single dose of diflucan would do that. Even if just one clove of fresh uncooked garlic every other day or so would be very supportive in the battle. Berberine also.
