To start, if you are on Lexapro you need to cut it off. But it has to be done slowly to avoid the rebound effect.

I am not capable to advise you more. Any wya, you came to the right forum. I am sure Chris and others will tell you what you better do in your case.

BTW, I salute you for not going back to that doctor. He is like an enemy for you now.

Hi Hollith,

I'm sorry to hear that your having such health issues. Your friend that directed you to this forum is to be commended. There are many very knowledgeable people here, I'm sure Chrisb1 will give you some advice on your condition.

I can't answer you about your problems, just wanted to say I'm glad you decided to post.

listen to your body. It has an innate wisdom, and is not 'against you'. Your instincts are also worth trusting. A homeopath that wants you on an anti-depressant? no. That's completely against the principles and ethics of homeopathy. I wouldn't go back. But I also wonder about this other drug . and the cortisone. Perhaps he thought if you're going to go ahead and take drugs anyway...

If we just get out of the way, good health returns. When you are nauseated, don't eat. When you desire juices, have juices. popsicles have junk in them, unless you make your own out of pure juice. But unless it's summer where you are, they will make your body too cold internally.

good juices (juice feasting)is a very healthy,cleansing thing.
water fasting is also. but you might be better to ease into it with a week of good juices.

Hello Hollith,
With regard to Adrenal fatigue and Candida overgrowth.

From the account you have given us you will need to resolve your metabolic health problems, but at the same time to also resolve your Candida. Adrenal fatigue is symptomatic of an overall failing endocrine system and where the good news is that BOTH Candida and Metabolic disorders such as adrenal fatigue, can be permanently overcome via Water Fasting according to thirst.

I think the first course of action would be to eradicate the Candida, as unless this is resolved first, the other health problems you have outlined will not be.
Keep in mind, that you can never totally get rid of Candida. It is present in everyone...always. What you need to do is shut down Candida OVERGROWTH.....to push it back to normal levels......and build up your immune system so that it stays there and prevents further overgrowth. Candida can become infectious in people with compromised/weakened immune systems.

A Water Fast according to thirst will sterilize your digestive tract within 7 to 10 days and which will be the first step, but I would continue with this fast for up to at least 15 days if at all possible to achieve the maximum cleansing: the reference to your vomiting and your inability to hold down any foods, AND your acid reflux are signals by your body that it cannot cope with external sources of nutrition; these are are also powerful signals from your body that it needs to feed from internal sources (Fasting) and therefore rest your vital machinery, while at the same time healing and cleansing your body for renewed nourishment after the fast is broken. Nothing but nothing will correct metabolic disorders such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and other endocrinal and other metabolic disorders than a Water Fast according to thirst. This will be the first step, but lifestyle changes including diet will be equally important.

Once you begin to realize that the body is a self-regulating, self-repairing, and self-maintaining organism, given the ideal circumstances and conditions, by allowing the enormous energies needed for digestion to be utilized elsewhere within the body for healing and cleansing, then you should see what I really mean.

Candida will thrive on alcohol & sugars and therefore the breaking of your fast on juices (not fruit juices) should be as free form sugars as possible but where a compromise may be with organic carrot juice and other non-starchy or slightly starchy vegetable juices; then follow these guidelines to the letter................

The fast will go a long way in restoring your metabolic processes and help return the endocrine system to normal but, and just as importantly the adrenal glands can be restored to optimum health naturally by adhering to healthy living principals: proper rest & ample sleep, full body sunlight-exposure, fresh air, and targeted nutritional supplements, together with at least an 80% raw food organic diet, and removal of stressors, are KEY components to adrenal fatigue recovery.

I would advise you to seek out the services of an Orthomolecular Physician or Nutritional Medicine Practitioner who is best able to advise you re' supplementation which will be vital for accelerating your recovery.
More importantly a change in lifestyle mentioned earlier will reap HUGE rewards for your health, and build your immune system to a point where metabolic disorders will become a thing of the past, and your Candida will remain in check and under control.

(EDIT)
I forgot to include this webpage from my archives by Dr David Klein and which I should have touched on earlier in this post..............scroll down in this interview and you will discover why fruit isn't as harmful for Candida as most health professionals would have you believe.
The key with ANY digestive problem and which I have always referred to in my previous posts is to COMBINE YOUR FOODS CORRECTLY.

hi again hollith!
i'm so glad you found your way here! ;)
(i only happenstanced upon your original post by a mouse-mistake!)

your body is obviously in crisis and if you start being diagnosed/treated by symptoms you will make yourself crazy.
your body is already telling you what it needs.
candida/adrenals/*blah* - i don't really believe in a *single* diagnosis since it stands to reason that if one thing in your body is out-of-balance, everything else will be too.
your body knows exactly what is going on. the human body is an amazingly resilient, naturally self-healing organism. your own body is an entire ecosystem; an entire planet. how amazing is that! :)

here is some reading for you:

if you want more, you can also google 'natural hygiene' - a lifestyle that advocates fasting, food combining, sunshine, fresh air - all the basics of nature.
(you can also read through chrisb1's posts here - he is our natural hygiene guru, and probably better than google!)

and please, please don't let fear of contagion influence your life - fear will kill you faster than any disease ever could.

be well, be happy
believe in the green light!
