Is this the last dot in this puzzle CFS and EBV

So a misaligned Atlas, Candida and EBV all contributing factors to an ms misdiagnosis, What a mistake they are making and with people lives too.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ackground

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disorder characterized by a state of chronic fatigue that persists for more than 6 months, has no clear cause, and is accompanied by cognitive difficulties. It was initially termed encephalomyalgia (or myalgic encephalomyelitis) because British clinicians noted that the essential clinical features of CFS included both an encephalitic component (manifesting as cognitive difficulties) and a skeletal muscle component (manifesting as chronic fatigue).
Various unrelated infectious diseases (eg, pneumonia, Epstein-Barr virus [EBV] infection, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections) appear to lead to a state of prolonged fatigue in some persons. Generally, if this condition is accompanied by cognitive difficulties, it is referred to as CFS.
The cause of CFS is unknown, but the disorder is probably an infectious disease with immunologic manifestations. EBV has been excluded as a cause of CFS, even though EBV infection is one of the many causes that may lead to a state of chronic fatigue. CFS is not synonymous with chronic EBV infection or chronic infectious mononucleosis.
Because no direct tests aid in the diagnosis of CFS, the diagnosis is one of exclusion but that meets certain clinical criteria, which are further supported by certain nonspecific tests. The diagnosis of CFS also rests on historical criteria (ie, otherwise unexplained fatigue for more than 6 months accompanied by cognitive dysfunction). The absence of cognitive dysfunction should exclude CFS as a potential diagnosis.
Because no cause of CFS has been determined, no effective therapy exists for CFS.
For patient education resources, see the Back, Ribs, Neck, and Head Center, as well as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Fatigue.

Diagnostic criteria

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),[1] in order to receive a diagnosis of CFS, a patient must (1) have severe chronic fatigue of at least 6 months’ duration, with other known medical conditions excluded by clinical diagnosis, and (2) concurrently have 4 or more of the following symptoms:
  • Substantial impairment in short-term memory or concentration
  • Sore throat
  • Tender lymph nodes
  • Muscle pain
  • Multijoint pain without swelling or redness
  • Headaches of a new type, pattern or severity
  • Unrefreshing sleep
  • Postexertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours
The symptoms must have persisted or recurred during 6 or more consecutive months of illness and must not have predated the fatigue.
The CDC case definition also states that any unexplained abnormality detected on examination or other testing that strongly suggests an exclusionary condition must be resolved before further classification is attempted. Conditions that do not exclude CFS include the following:
  • Any condition defined primarily by symptoms that cannot be confirmed by diagnostic laboratory tests, including fibromyalgia, anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, nonpsychotic or melancholic depression, neurasthenia, and multiple chemical sensitivity disorder
  • Any condition under specific treatment sufficient to alleviate all symptoms related to that condition and for which the adequacy of treatment has been documented, including hypothyroidism for which the adequacy of replacement hormone has been verified by normal thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, or asthma in which the adequacy of treatment has been determined by pulmonary function and other testing
  • Any condition, such as Lyme disease or syphilis, that was treated with definitive therapy before development of chronic symptoms
  • Any isolated and unexplained physical examination finding, or laboratory or imaging test abnormality that is insufficient to strongly suggest the existence of an exclusionary condition, including an elevated antinuclear antibody titer that is inadequate, without additional laboratory or clinical evidence, to strongly support a diagnosis of a discrete connective tissue disorder
In children, CFS is poorly defined. Most studies of CFS in the pediatric age range have followed the CDC criteria. However, whether the adult CDC case definition can be applied to children and adolescents is debatable.
Children have typically been referred to specialty clinics after extensive screening by their primary care physician has yielded negative or nonspecific test results. Therefore, common short-lived causes of fatigue are effectively excluded. The length of fatigue (6 months) also effectively excludes many common illnesses and probably should be retained in any forthcoming pediatric case definition.

Candida and liver toxicity




LIVER TOXICITY CAN BE CAUSED BY CANDIDA OVERGROWTH
 SO YOU WANT TO DETOX AND CLEANSE THE LIVER THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS FROM THE INSIDE OUT
SEE HOME PAGE FOR TRETMENT DETAILS AND FREE INFORMATION 


  CLEANSING THE LIVER AND THE CANDIDA CONNECTION
Candida may lead to liver overload, the liver ( we only have one) performs over 500 functions it , metabolizes carbohydrates and proteins, synthesizes and stores vitamins, regulates hormones,  processes a very large amount of blood, synthesizes clotting factors,  forms urea , metabolizes medications, and produces bile, to mention only  a few so it is a very important organ.  
The liver neutralizes harmful substances so that they can be carried to the intestines and kidneys for excretion.
Excreting potentially harmful compounds that are generated in the body and acquired through exposure to the environment is known as detoxification. 
  Toxins in the body are generated as normal by-products of cellular metabolic process and may include dead or digested bacteria, hydrogen peroxide, cellular debris, and carbon dioxide. 
So with all these jobs to do including cleaning up, the liver dose not need to deal with extra toxins from the gut and although short term cleansing or flushing may help a long term plan is needed.

Candida overgrowth can lead to the gut leaking toxins into the blood stream leaky gut syndrome and toxemia can follow. 

Candida overgrowth can form over 70 known toxins that can overload the liver.  
The bowel is the primary zone to address to cleanse the liver.  
A toxic bowel ensures a toxic liver, because with the number of toxins produced from candida overgrowth the liver is put into overload.
Candida overgrowth and its by products can lead to the  formation of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, which create innumerable problems throughout all body systems, these toxins are poisons and have to be converted by the liver into alcohol, which explains some people’s symptoms of drunkenness even though they seldom, if ever, indulge in alcohol .  
Candida must be killed off slowly so as not to further overload the liver.
Homoeopathic liver drops may be used to support the liver while detoxifying it, this combined with the candida 3 way control plan will give long term results.
 Gallbladder disease
A diet high in refined carbohydrates (cane sugar) may decrease bile flow, increase blood cholesterol, and decrease vitamin E levels, leading to stone formation.
Candida overgrowth may also indirectly affect hormones that promote bile secretion. 
I have found in practice that the only true cleanse is one that starts in the gut, control candida, cleanse the intestines and reinocculate  with good bacteria, the liver will not be overloaded and will be able to repair itself, if this is done the liver should in normal circumstances be able to look after itself. 
FATTY LIVER DISEASE
The liver is said to be fatty when more than %10 of its weight is fat , this is usually symptom less and is most often associated with excess weight,  excessive drinking, diabeties, hormone imbalaces,and high cholesterol treating candida overgrowth will help by reducing weight , lowering cholesterol, balancing hormones, and balancing sugar levels. 
Remember Alternative Medicine can work in with Western Treatment

Alopecia - Causes and Reversing Hair Loss

[Download in printable PDF format]
There may be one or multiple factors leading to hair loss, which may be summarized as follows;
  • Local Factors
  • General Factors
  • Psychological factors
  • Liver -Toxins
1. Local factors:
Some of the local factors or conditions associated with hair loss are:

(a) Leaky Gut Syndrome:

Certain local skin ailments are known to lead to hair loss. Local skin infections such as overgrowth of C-albicans which include; fungal forms, metal toxicity, mycoplasma infections or, what we refer to as "vague and inconsistent symptoms" are at the root cause for all chronic illness known as autoimm

Alopecia - Causes and Reversing Hair Loss

[Download in printable PDF format]
There may be one or multiple factors leading to hair loss, which may be summarized as follows;
  • Local Factors
  • General Factors
  • Psychological factors
  • Liver -Toxins
1. Local factors:
Some of the local factors or conditions associated with hair loss are:

(a) Leaky Gut Syndrome:

Certain local skin ailments are known to lead to hair loss. Local skin infections such as overgrowth of C-albicans which include; fungal forms, metal toxicity, mycoplasma infections or, what we refer to as "vague and inconsistent symptoms" are at the root cause for all chronic illness known as autoimmune disorders.  Autoimmune disorders known as mycoplasmas or  ""Cell Wall Deficient Forms"" - the ""Stealth Pathogens"", are the underlying cause(s) of a myriad of conditions including; eczema, psoriasis, fogging brain, memory loss, lethargy, forgetfulness, ADD/ADHD, Chlymadia, Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, MS, Lupus, ALS, Lyme Disease, Diverticulitis, Crohn's Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Gastritis, Colitis, athletes foot, chronic yeast infections, ""jock itch"", yellowing toe nails and/or fingernails, itchy scalp (see parasite booklet) onset of peculiar vision symptoms, bad breath, all digestive disorders and more are ‘all' contributory factors to any ‘vague and inconsistent' condition usually missed by conventional medicine.

(b) Local exposure to toxins:

Overuse or abuse with chemical based shampoos, soaps, lotions can be one factor in hair loss.

(c) Scalp carelessness:

Unhygienic measures in scalp care may lead to air loss. For instance, infrequent head wash, over exposure to harsh sun without protection, exposing the head to industrial fumes.

2. General factors:

(a) Deficient Nutrition:

Overall deficiency of nutrition may affect the growth and quality of hair. Deficiency of certain vitamin B's, vitamin A, may also lead to hair loss (or too much vitamin A as well). The deficiency in proteins, iron, especially minerals, may affect hair loss including short to long term alopecia. Iron deficiency in most cases is due to an overabundance candidiasis/fungal forms.  B-12 while important to our health, can be chelated (pulled out) from the red blood cells due to certain microorganisms feeding on this vitamin. In short, spherocytosis results and can lead to hemolytic anemia. Other symptoms can include excessive bleeding (if client is taking Warfarin or Coumidin) - these are dangerous blood thinners- (rat poison). This is another contributory factor in loss of iron - leading to anemia. One must be under the care of a nutritionist with knowledge in these potentially dangerous drugs. These drugs (chemicals) result in potential mal-assimilation or a mal-absorption syndrome. It may occur following any prolonged acute or sub-acute disease such as cystitis, colitis, chronic acid reflux, Irritable Bowel Syndrome; the list goes on! These digestive disorders are all linked to pleomorphic bacteria, or better known as Mycoplasma Infections plus the overgrowth of C-albicans and fungal forms. (Refer to Life Sources, Inc. "Leaky Gut Syndrome" booklet in how the necessity to eradicate these health conditions as to their ability to contribute to a very long list of "vague and inconsistent symptoms".)
These pathogens are conditions mainstream medicine usually do not give much, if any attention to, yet, are usually the result of over-use of pharmaceuticals, leading to chemical sensitivities resulting from heavy metal toxicity (can be job related as working in a lab in which one handles chemicals without wearing proper laboratory attire) and, the over-use of antibiotics.

(b) Hormonal variations:

Certain hormones including androgen, estrogen and in most cases the lack of progesterone causes variations during different phases in life may contribute to excessive hair loss. (See the Booklet on the necessity for progesterone, like Nature's Balance Progesterno Creme!) Thyroid hormones form another important group of disorders responsible for hair loss in some cases. Post-partum depression and child-birth is another example due to the loss of progesterone. *This a huge factor most women only blame on depression alone due to the realization this ""little bundle of joy"" has now added ‘good stress' along with the word, "Stress"!

(c) Post-acute-ailment:

Certain "acute" diseases result in a Compromised Immune System and may result in the loss of hair.  Again, this cannot be overstated; Overgrowth of Candida, or C-albicans, fungus, metal toxicity and bacterial forms can either all by themselves or all together (usually this is the case) set one up for the inability of the immune system to function normally creating the mal-absorption of the body's ability to function. A total depletion of minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, essential fatty acids and hormones results in hair loss.
As an aside, the loss or thinning of eyelashes and pubic hair can be a ‘subtle' hair loss condition as well and points in the direction of hormonal imbalance.

(d) Medicine and Drug induced:

Certain chemicals and medicines (prescription drugs) have known toxicity on the hair roots and growth. Long term use of chemotherapy, cancer medication, steroids, antibiotics, antiepileptic, antihypertensive medications to name a few, have been observed to produce hair loss in some patients. Don't forget to include the use of the birth control pill which creates "Estrogen Dominance" and, throws of the delicate balance of testosterone, and progesterone again, contributing to the loss of hair.

3. Psychological factors:

The mind plays a vital role in maintaining the health in general developing a wide range of disorders.

Some of the examples of emotional stress may be summarized in brief as follows;

(a).  Intense anxiety about any important matter.

Sadness or depression in one's life, which may be arising from marital disharmony or job dissatisfaction results in tremendous stress that contributes to a dysfunctional social structure.  Grief due to an unexpected event in one's life such as loss of a family member, loss in business, a major set back in life, including a long-standing fear and apprehensive habits. Unhealthy attitudes such as aggressive behavior, violent expressions, hurried and impatient behavior, can be contributing factors.

(b) Emotional stress

Emotional stress is an epidemic condition prevailing in the world today.
Worrying about anything, anyone or just about everything sets us up for the disorder affecting the physiological functioning of every part of our immune system including "hair loss".  Simply, the loss of hair is a ‘sign' that there's something out of balance within the immune system!
In a nutshell, stress resulting in the aforementioned health conditions and personality type may play a larger role than suspected or recognized in the resulting of hair loss, therefore, the major criterion to decide the correct line of treatment for hair loss.

4. Toxins residing in the liver;

The most common factors include; industrial toxins, intoxicated water (with high levels or minerals and metals), local dermal infection, parasitic infestation and local allergic ailments which is a result of these mentioned plus more.  Talk with your health care professional about detoxifying your liver. Liver toxicity may be the most important reason for this condition, and a liver cleanse would be highly recommended.
Life Sources, Inc recommends the following; should be adjusted accordingly to each individual's needs.
¼ to ½ C George's Aloe Vera Juicemorning and before bed for "sealing up porous portion of colon".
1 Olive Leaf Extract 3x daily (minimum) - liver support and eradication of candida/fungal forms/minute parasites
3 Alpha Factor - 2xs daily  (bovine colostrum) modulates immune system for acute phases. May adjust to limit amout taken according to individual.
5 Immuzyme® 3x daily - Proteolytic (proprietary formula) anti-inflammatory enzymes target all vital organs, including detoxifying metals and repairing damage down to cells, tissues and muscles from the over-active immune response creating inflammation.
2 Daily Health® Enzyme - amino acid formula - 2 taken 10 minutes before each meal.  The best ""all in one"" proprietary formula includes; a multi-vitamin (minus B-12), digestive enzymes, amino acids, and a special blend to restore the liver by boosting the gluthathoine levels.
1 OPC-165 - 3x daily (or more as needed for stress)- 50x stronger than vitamin E, 20x more powerful than vitamin C
1 Probiotic with each meal. Restores the ‘friendly bacteria' in the digestive tract.
Milk thistle - Liver support.  The recommendation is based on manufacturer.  Supports liver, and, must be taken until symptoms subside.
Just An Ounce -  ½ capful -2x daily in Magnetized Water. Replaces missing and extremely important essential minerals daily missing from our diet.
Selenium - 1- 200 mcg "only" daily.  This may well be one of the most important minerals needed for the liver.
1 Squalamine (LSI's from Norway - Omega 3's) - Evening Primrose Oil or Flaxseed Oil.  Important immune support, and, raises your (healthy) HDL's!  Also, helps prevent cancer and fights the homocysteine build up in arteries and capillaries.
We recommend a follow-up appointment at least 3-4 times yearly.
"If you can't see it, it doesn't exist".  Now, who said this?
Or, "your tests came back normal".  There's nothing wrong with you.
Now, who said that?

re previous thisisms post (my record)

As I suspected post removed and permanently banned, Jimmylegs doesnt disappoint, she is so predictable

My info re thisisms-as reply will prob be deleted


There is a condition called Candida it can be caused by stress, poor  diet or most importantly Antibiotic use and for that last reason is why Western Medicine deny its existence.

It can cause obesity but at the same time it can cause the exact opposite WEIGHT LOSS

It also can cause SUGAR CRAVINGS

It can also cause VITAMIN DEFICIENCY.

I would post a link but you would be better for you and others to google Candida and ---------, whatever problem you may have, it can also cause Diabetes.

There is a lot of info out there, thank goodness for the internet. Also dont get sucked into some money making scam, just consider it as a possibility.

There is also info on this site under Diet, as a sticky, subject healthy gut, as it also causes Leaky Gut Syndrome.

Hope this info helps you and others too, 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have ppms, I am vegetarian - have been since four. I may occasional eat a little bacon, rarely. I have one white coffee per day. I only started eating ice cream in the past years and never ate sweets but now have a craving for sugar. There is so much written about the diets but then why do I have the worst one?

I was very active - running alot.

I have tried the Jelinek diet but lost so much weight my doctor threatened to hospitalise me. (5.5 stone). I am not a big person. When I tried to question him about the diet, he avoided me and would not answer my questions - maybe he did not have the answers. I do not know anyone with ppms who has improved on the diet. Maybe rrms is a different disease/story - I don't know.

Don't flame me - I stopped posting last time a got flamed.

I currently take Naltrexone, 4 aminopridine - none with any success but I am scared stupid if I stop. I have tried MIS416 for two plus years. I tried stemcell in Germany with no sucess.

Hope this is of interest, take care.

The Candida Epidemic-this is a must read

The Candida Epidemic – On the Rise

Candida Epidemic – On the Rise
By David Gersten, M.D.
 Tess was a sweet, intelligent, fifteen-year-old girl who suffered severely from a mysterious illness.  Her doctors at Kaiser Permanente told her she was crazy — that there was nothing wrong with her physically.  Traditional doctors rarely use comprehensive nutritional lab tests to diagnose a chronic illness.  For this reason, the Kaiser docs only found one abnormal lab result in eight months, which gave them no clues.  For eight long months Tess ran a fever of 102 to 104 degrees.  The final diagnosis?  “Pull yourself together young lady.  You’re just depressed.”
After Kaiser had given up on Tess as a “loony,” her mother, a long-term patient of mine, asked me to evaluate Tess.  Amino acid and immunological testing showed severe metabolic impairment, and an immune system similar to that seen in AIDS patients.  Tess definitely was not crazy.  But she was very sick.  After three weeks on specific nutritional supplements, her eight month nightmare was over.  She was finally in recovery. What was Tess’s mysterious illness?  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) caused by a kind of yeast called candida albicans.
The Politics of Yeast
William Crook, M.D. wrote “The Yeast Connection” 15 years ago, and vast amounts of good research have been performed since then.  Unfortunately mainstream medicine still believes that candida can only be a problem if you are massively immuno-suppressed, either due to cancer, chemotherapy, or AIDS.  Feelings run hot in Medicine.
San Francisco physician, Dr. Robert Sinaiko was sued by the Medical Board of California for treating a boy with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) with Nystatin.  Judge Ruth Astle, who has no medical training beyond a five day seminar, presided over the case and decided that there was no basis for treating ADD with anti-candida medicines.
Dr. Sinaiko lost in court, was fined $95,000, given five years probation, and a host of restrictions as a doctor.  He was not sued for harming a patient, but for treating candidiasis.  He has since closed his practice.  One can only wonder. In September 1999, the Medical Board of California concluded that Dr. Sinaiko, M.D. had “departed from the prevailing standard of practice of medicine” by using antifungal drugs and other questionable methods to treat three adults and a nine-year-old child for nonexistent “Candida” problems. Sinaiko was assessed $49,472.79 for administrative costs and placed on five years’ probation with stringent supervisory conditions. However, in 2005 the Medical Board reversed all of its positions and Dr. Sinaiko was able to resume practicing medicine after being unable to practice for 6 years.
 Symptoms Abound
 If you or a loved one have any of the following symptoms or diseases, candida may be part of the problem:
Fatigue; CFS; Insomnia; Depression; Muscle weakness or pain; Abdominal pain; Hypoglycemia; Asthma; Intestinal gas or bloating; Heartburn or indigestion; Constipation or diarrhea; Sugar cravings; Frequent vaginal yeast infections; Headaches; Pain or swelling in your joints; Loss or decrease in Libido; Menstrual irregularities; Severe PMS; Sinusitis; Eczema; Psoriasis; Impaired memory or concentration; Panic attacks; Attention Deficit Disorder; Allergies.
With a list of symptoms this long, it should be no surprise that an estimated thirty percent of Americans have candida overgrowth (also called “candidiasis”).  That’s seventy-eight million people.  Now, very few of us will get as sick as Tess was, but we all need to be vigilant.
Let’s look at what candida is and how it can wreak havoc.  Within our gastrointestinal (GI) tracts we should have a healthy balance of candida (a kind of yeast) and “friendly” bacteria.  When you have just the right balance between the good bacteria  and candida in your gut, all is well, and the friendly bacteria are fed by the candida.  However, a number of things will throw off that balance, of which antibiotics are the chief offender.
When you take an antibiotic for your strep throat, sinus infection, bladder infection or anything else, that antibiotic kills unfriendly bacteria.  The problem is that the friendly bacteria in your GI tract that kept candida in check are also killed.  When that happens candida can get out of control, proliferating in your GI tract.  Birth control pills, some steroids (prednisone), and stress can all make things even worse.  If your immune system is not strong or your gut is not balanced, candida can ruin your health.
How It Hurts You
There are a number of complex mechanisms bywhich candida causes illness.  First of all, candida releases a number of toxic chemicals of which acetaldehyde and ethanol are the most common.
Second: Candida overgrowth causes intestinal inflammation and weakens the gut wall, producing a leaky gut.  If you have a “leaky gut,” large, undigested food particles can enter your blood stream.  When that happens, your immune system mounts an attack on the food . . . and you develop delayed food allergies. If, for example, you develop a food allergy to dairy, each time you eat dairy, your immune system will respond as if dairy is a foreign substance, and whatever symptoms you have will flare up. With delayed food allergies, which account for 95% of food allergies, your body does not begin to respond to the offending food for 6 to 72 hours after you’ve eaten.
Third: over time candida slips directly into the blood stream, causing systemic candida or “candidiasis.” Candidiasis can cause 50 ore more symptoms. Many experts believe that candida can colonize throughout your body.  The growth of candida cell colonies is a controversial subject among researchers.  Research will someday reveal why numerous trials of antibiotics increase the risk of developing candidiasis so dramatically
Candida overgrowth also causes short peptides (strings of 5 to 10 amino acids) to leak into your system.  Many of these peptides act as neurotransmitters.  These peptides send very unfriendly messages to your brain.  Not only that, they block neurotransmitter receptor sites throughout your body.
Every cell in our body is covered with tiny openings (receptor sites) where other chemicals come to nest.  Dr. Candace Pert, who discovered the opiate receptor, has shown that cells throughout our body have receptor sites for endorphins, the “feel good” chemicals our bodies make naturally.
When you are happy (or exhilarated through exercise), your brain releases endorphins throughout your body.  This causes receptor sites all over your body to also become “happy.”  But with candidiasis, toxic peptides can block your endorphin receptor sites, so your body literally loses its ability to feel good.  This is just one example.  There are hundreds of toxic peptides that can pollute your body when you have candidiasis.
 The Cure
If we suspect that a patient has candidiasis, we order a stool analysis test.  If candida is present, the lab will test to see which specific drugs and herbs among those available will actually kill it. I also order a blood test for candida antibodies. If the IgA result is elevated, that person has candida overgrowth in their digestive tract.  If the IgM result is elevated, that person has systemic candida.
Here are the four most important steps in treating systemic candida:
1.  Treat with a drug or herb that will kill candida.  Among medications, we frequently use Nystatin,  Diflucan, or Nizoral.  Some herbs include caprylic acid, uva-ursi, plant tannins, undecylenic, garlic, and olive leaf extract. Herbs can be effective in treating intestinal candida, but are not very effective for systemic candida.
2.  Replenish your GI tract with lots of friendly bacteria, namely acidophilus for the upper GI tract and bifidus for the lower GI tract. VSL is the strongest probiotic I know of, containing 250 billion friendly bacteria per capsule.
3.  Candida diet.  Anything that makes candida grow must be avoided including sugars, sweeteners, fruit, bread, aged cheese, and alcohol (beer is the worst). We provide patients with a complete printed list of which foods to avoid and which foods are good for them.
4.  Treat food and mold allergies.  Food allergies are determined by a blood test.
The results of proper treatment of candidiasis are profound. Tess fully recovered from her serious illness after we put her candida back in balance.  If you have any of the symptoms listed above, you should seek out a physician who understands candida, and do the simple testing.  Treatment will change your life.
  ADD/ADHD
I’ll write more in the future about ADD/ADHD. For now, a word about candida.  When I’m asked to evaluate a child with ADD/ADHD, the first question I ask is, “Has your child received a lot of antibiotics?” If so, chronic ear infections are the most common reason for repeated antibiotic treatment. ADD is not a “Ritalin deficiency.” The vast majority of kids I’ve treated for ADD/ADHD as well as the spectrum of illnesses (including Asperger’s Syndrome) have done very well. Sometimes the antibiotic-leaky guy-candidiasis equation is not the whole picture. For now, I hope this is food for thought.
Finally, some things for you to consider. The lab work is essential in making the diagnosis of candidiasis, but here are some other things to consider. Systemic candida can cause a coated tongue, toenail fungus that won’t go away, jock itch, and severe vaginal yeast. If you have areas of yeast that won’t go away, consider those symptoms as the tip of the iceberg.
It should be obvious that what we eat has a great deal to do with our health.  Likewise, if we have yeast overgrowth, the food we eat will not be fully absorbed, toxins will flood our bodies, and dozens of seemingly unrelated symptoms can arise.  Check out your gut.  A healthy gut is the doorway to a healthy body.

Candida-mothers and their children

As Candida has been ignored by the NHS since the 80's,  it has been allowed to manifest unchecked, I fear that mothers have passed it on to their children through infected blood and that in my opinion is why we have sick and obese children.I also fear that it may be responsible for infant  deaths i.e. heart and lung related.

Candida invades the blood and therefore can affect our total being. Are they making us sick and only think our hope is in drug remedies, from diabetes, asthma,autism to cancer.

ndida Yet again, the NHS needs to face it and join the dots and stop ignoring it and do it NOW!

This all is so worrying.
