Candida is making my life miserable

[mycatislove]

I've done the oregano thing, just be aware it will kill the good and bad guys in the gut... it is powerful! If your candida isn't getting under control, especially since you have tried all kinds of things, it may be time for a heavy metals test...if you have toxicity, that will prevent even the hardcore prescription meds like diflucan from killing the overgrowth of candida. What sort of anti yeast diet are you on? any type of restrictive diet if you have a chronic systemic issue, will only work as long as you are on the diet, most of which are just not realistic/sustainable for long periods of time. Like if you are eating low fruit, etc, and go back to that, the candida overgrowth will come back eventually, so you have to try to get to the root of what is causing it in the first place

You know I have heard that about the heavy metals.

One thing first though, my symptoms are actually getting better, but I realize that's not a measurement of how well I really am ...

I'm on just your basic candida diet (but to be up front and honest, I cheat weekly in regards to sweets and grains..raw sweets and sprouted grains [I'm working toward getting more raw]). I am not %100 raw. I know that the critters will just keep coming back if others factors are present, like heavy metals (well I have heard this, makes sense though) and parasites (which I do have above the norm). Like you say, the root is the only way to go..and I can't imagine being on any candida diet for a long period of time. I cuoldn't agree more. I did have a blood test done and I saw heavy metals in my system. I am not sure if they're from the mercury fillings or just life in general.

I don't do prescription meds but I am on herbal antifungals, do take probiotics and supplements.

But something tells me I need to endure several detoxes that are yet to come and that I will be challenged by having to find out the root cause(s).

The other thing is that I have an apt to have 2 of the 4 mercury fillings removed. I don't know if this is really necessary. I'm still really going back and forth on it. And dentists do have varying opinions on it of course, which doesn't help us. Maybe it just comes down to a case by case for each different person and their needs.

Thanks for your reply
