aloe vera whole leaf gel helps me and i feel more energy and pains in gut diminish i get lily of the valley whole leaf gel works better than the juice if you get either keep very refrigerated gel seems to last longer in the refrig. and does more i think. i get by the gallon used to get discounted. i think 1/2 glass at a time but i only do a few ounces all day for money costs.

also kombucha i have a friend drinking swigs helps with my energy foir a while i think it has probiotics and other nutrients.

the seaweed help lots and lots of it over time i would get angry just doing xeroxing in a store that was otherwise a happy place for em. i was sensitive to my laptop computer getting sick in the belly from using it.

i had a test done and it showed my mineralization was so low the magnetic resistance in my body was very low.

after some months of the seaweeds i got better in my iron magnesium calcium iron and so forth.

and the bacterial infection (more than the candida I can attest to) makes the sensitivity to electronic EMF as well.

the minerals really help - from these antural sources. seaweed is also 15% protein and the minerals are in easy to assimilate form i read even in ionic form and it is a natural vegetable.

see my foods for structure article

see right column vertical website menu. look in table of contents and just above for the link.

when i had the money and lived by the ocean as well i was doing a lot better even in my early 60s.

someone wrote about probiotics yes yes yes I agree from my own experience if this gives you more encouragement to hear from someone else.

yukka is for intestinal issues but i did not know it was for the inflammatin there - thanks to the writer.


nourinsh the pancreas - it is the pancreatic enzymes and the dampness and weakness there that helps the candida and is limiting the anti parasite pancreatic enzynes. dr christopher has a good formula i use and i also encapsulate powdered cedar berries. whole dried juniper berries also help. cinnamon is good get non irradiated - get from health food store i chew the pieces and crsh the hard pieces. it helps the pancreatic juices enzymes and i do feel betterr eating a bunch of little pieces.

also for the adrenals - cubeb berries help they also clear the lungs and help the immune system - little black peppercorns. I get from my local herb shop.

also boldo leaves are very good i get from Frontier or herb shop and can get from herb products company in no hollywood calof near LA.

i get from my local store - all these herbs - The Herb Corner Melbourne Florida ask for Cecilia she is the owner and knows me. they have a website as well. The other store near here is Mama Jo's sunshine herbals in Indian Harbour Beach Florida near melbourne. ask for jo ann. johnanna is the master herbalist jo ann her mother works the store.

Hi SevenPoints-
I must admit that I started scanning your post after the first dozen paragraphs. I suggest that you visit Bee Wilder's website and join her yahoo group(it's called candida group on her website.) Her diet may sound crazy but it has worked for many people and helped me with IBS, candida, leaky gut(though she doesn't believe in Leaky gut). http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/

The supplements she recommends are cheap and effective. She's a major advocate of removing toxins from your life and eating to heal.
Also, you should know that my friend was diagnosed with severe adrenal fatigue, candida, parasites, she had vertigo, major hair loss,brain fog, depression, skin rashes, food allergies , mercury poisoning- and after 4 years of not healing was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease and is currently undergoing an alternative laser treatment that is working. She's finally found the key! Her white blood cell count was 22- when the average is in the thousands! I suggest that you get tested - but go to a specialist because the normal test that is given is not conclusive nor is it accurate.

Dude, you have extreme fire/heat in the skin. It looks severe.
Since I'm a professional herbalist, I view things through Chinese principles. Therefore, what I share will be on that level and may differ quite a bit from the way modern medical practitioners explain things.

It has to be determined if you have excess or deficient conditions and knowing if you possibly have both and in which part of the body. Also, an evaluation should be done to determine whether you have too much dryness or too much moisture. Either excess of dryness or moisture can lead to excess heat and/or stagnation. Finally, you have to determine whether there is the excess of heat or cold.
Once you determine these things (or it can be determined by your local practitioner), THEN the proper herb blends can be applied with greater success.

My advise would be to contact an herbalist who makes all his own extracts from scratch and custom blends them to your particular/specific needs. An herbalist is different from a naturopath or homeopath. With a proper regimen, you should notice significant healing in 2-3 weeks.

Hope this helps.

The Herbalationist

Hi Seven,

From all the great details you left It is pretty clear to me that all your symptoms are related. They aren't as seperate of conditions as you think.

Poor eating habits can cause Candida which leads to leaky gut which strains your immune system. Eliminate slows and cleansing becomes more difficult through the normal channels. Adrenals gather their strength from nourishing minerals. They can be taxed from Candida because your body isn't absorbing the all the nutrients from the foods you eat.

The good part?
It can pretty much all be fixed all at once.

The bad part?
Its a long road to recovery but the only way to do it is through particular diet. Namely the Body Ecology DIET. This is the best and most healing diet in the world in my opinion. It helped me overcome food allergies and chronic Acne like no other diet could. I used to have really bad Acne before this.

It sounds that you have already started on learning many of the healing foods. Adding cultured foods and probiotics is going to be an absolute must. I would also recommend adding supergreen food shakes (health store) this will help powerpack your nutritional deficiences. The diet addresses the candida and is very strict but works very well. I would start doing colon cleanses. Try starting with oxycleanse. Keeping the bowels moving at 2 or 3 times a day is a MUST when healing or the toxins will move through your skin ( I.E. your rash).

This will take 3-6 months and it will be a journey but you will heal. After a few months I would contact me and I can walk you through a few more cleanses that will progess your healing (what kidney, liver, and parasite cleanses to do). For now it sounds your body is too weak to do anything except a food and colon changes.

GOOD LUCK! let me know how your journey towards health and happiness goes!

...a raw living foods diet. Add to this cultured vegetables. This will allow the body to repair itself. There is no need to over complicate things. Use grasses such as barley grass and sea vegetables such as dulse. This will go a long way in helping you heal. Then back it up with good exercise ( rebounding preferred). Lower toxicity in your life. Use healthy products and reduce toxic loads from your environment. These all create a toxic load on your immune system. if you can remove that load you aid the immune system and help it redirect energy to dealing with other things. This in turn = healing.

Also look into emotional healing from things like TAT and EFT.
Use visualizations to also help guide your immune system to help heal.

Focus on wellness and give up looking at symptoms and the meanings behind them. What we focus on grows. if we focus on symptoms we train the the subconscious mind through the limbic system to create stress responses that are unnecessary and that hinder the immune system. To retrain the limbic system we must stop all negative thinking and reframe our thought processes. Again what we focus on grows and manifests in physical reality. There is more and more Science backing up what sages have known for thousands of years. We become what we think about.

One thing that has helped me is the "Hay Diet". This diet is similar to the Alkaline diet. It incorporates the proper food combining principles. The main idea to this diet is to never combine protein and starches in the same meal. These two food groups require different chemical processes during digestion. When someone with digestive problems or dysbiosis combines these foods, neither of them get fully digested, leading to fermentation in the gut. This becomes a breading ground for pathogens, bacteria, viruses and fungi. When these critters are abundant in the GI track, they excrete harmful waste, overwhelming the detoxification organs. If the elimination organs are not functioning properly, these toxins may try to find there way out through the skin. This diet will help tremendously with digestion and in turn help clear up so many other problems related to that, such as skin issues.

The other thing I would suggest for the Adrenal Fatigue is an ancient exercise called the Five Tibetan Rites.

http://www.mkprojects.com/pf_TibetanRites.htm


These movements are yoga like movements that have been studied by scientist that believe that they have an incredible impact on the Endocrine system, including the Adrenals.
good luck to you

I will be honest and admit I did not read all of your post because for one thing some of the issues addressed are not ones I am familiar with.

I have had some experience with the hypoadrenal issue tho.
First, a urine test seems to be far more effective than blood tests for uncovering the problem. At first I did not have a doctor who would prescribe a urine test & told me my adrenals were fine, tho I had the symptoms. My present doctor did let me get a urine test, & the result of that was he put me on hydrocortisone which has helped greatly.

stopthethyroidmadness.com has lots of info on adrenal supports & symptoms.

There are on the net hydrocortisone products you can buy.
Check out Isocort, or other adrenal products on Vitacost & elsewhere. Before finding the new doctor I got on Isocort & it did help, but not as much as what he prescribed. It doesn't work right away. It takes a few weeks for you to see the difference. I started with 8 a day but maybe should have taken more. Just ordered one that got good reviews at Vitacost & hope it works as well, because it is less expensive than Isocort. (Can't see my doctor, out of town, for awhile & am definitely having low adrenal symptoms again so am upping my dosage.)

Here is my story on parasite cleansing in case anything in it helps you.

Hi everyone who's replied and read this message; hopefully this post shows up in the right place.

I'm feeling better in some ways. The skin reactions have minimized a great deal, and I don't look like I did in those pictures after I shower!

Things I've done so far:

-Quercetin daily

-Molybdenum

-Watercress

-Probiotics

-Digestive Bitters (Yummy! I've come to like them!)

-B5/Vit. C/B-Complex (tried nutritional yeast but it made me itchy again)

-Still some Betaine HCl and Digestive Enzymes

-Herbal (fairly gentle) liver and kidney flushes

-Cellulose Fiber Powder (I'm not finding it too harsh and things are coming along with, ahem, good regularity)

-Started taking Seacure; no adverse reactions I've noted, and I feel it's helping with the gut issues

-I finished another bottle of Aloe Vera Juice; the brand was "George's" - they claim bitter constituents are removed, and absolutely no water added

And food-wise:

-Still absolutely no grains, not even gluten free ones. Been a bit hard, but I think it's doing me good.

-No seeds

-Not many nuts, mostly pecans I seem to do okay with, but my body tells me if I've had too many

-Lots of coconut products, which I love, but am trying to taper down - I think I might be a bit sensitive to them...?

-Still no concentrated sugars, except fresh fruit

-Many veggies

-Lots of fat

-Tried eggs once; no skin rash, hurray! But I did feel icky after. Will try again, away from other food, to determine if they're problematic

-Nearly all protein from red meat and fish. Feels easier on my stomach than nuts and beans!

-Tried Sauerkraut again, but didn't like how I felt

Thanks for all your suggestions. I haven't tried the Body Ecology Diet, but haven't put all fermented veggies out of my mind yet - just maybe not for now. There are some things I've yet to try.

Hopefully I'll get my saliva cortisol test soon. Based on the results and how I continue feeling, I'll decide or not upon other courses of action.

Take care everyone.

Hello Sevenpoints.
I have never posted on the forums before but your message really made my want to help out as much as I need helped out myself, lol. I feel your frustration about being young and unable to go out and party like my friends and eat normal stuff without feeling really crap. I'm 25 and can't hardly even remember the last 6 years of my life and I don't want to waste another minute. I have had systemic candida and thus leaky gut, caused by mercury poisoning since age 13. My dad owned a bottle of pure mercury (where he got it don not know) and used to let me and my brother play with it in the kitchen, in our hands! ...wtf! I also used to take recreational drugs on a daily basis, this unfortunately led to Depersonalization, but thats another giant altogether. I am also very inwardly angery most of the time about whatever decides to pop into my head. But anyway ...
I have tried many things over the past 4 or 5 years to get rid of it all, whatever 'it' exactly is. The anger, tiredness, acne, weightloss, etc. but nothing so far has been successful.
I will not suggested massive a list of things to take or to do, as I know that it can be very overwhelming and expensive to say the least and many don't work.
There are a couple of things that I would do that can never be bad for your body.
If I were you, which I practically am it seems in terms of health, I would alkalize you body. I've been doing a lot of reading on how crucial this is. It think it will get rid of a lot of biological imbablances and make it much quicker and easier for the body to heal.
So this is my plan:
I have chosen to try Alkalizer Drops in plenty of filtered water along with cutting out Sugar and refined foods. I wouldn't use bottled water as it leaches plastic into the water and the less said about my tap water the better. I bought a Wellness water filter which is still in the post.
I have also started drinking homemade milk Kefir. If you can't take dairy, you can make Kefir with rice, oat, soya, coconut milk.
That is all I am going to do for a few weeks or months until my body feels ready to try some other things. No extreme diets yet. The body needs nourishment, especially with leaky gut, you can't afford to be living on restricted diets. IMHO.
I would suggest you at least try the alkalizing of the body as a place to start. I will keep you updated.
You can email with questions or ideas or whatever. Good luck all! GB!

I had all the same issues you had....

i also had a bunch you haven't listed....

I wast tested for a ton of stuff... couldn't find anything... i started using natural medicine... and found diatomaceous earth... which is supposed to cleanse your digestive track... i started expelling worms .....

it turned out i had stomach worms the whole time... asciaris.... i was basically disabled for 18+ months with these things. we thought I had some mystery illness.

i would deworm yourself.... get some diatomaceous earth as well.... it helps bind the toxins as you pass stuff... i use it in conjunction with a lot of prescription dewormers my doc has me on now.... but if it wasn't for the diatomaceous earth i wouldn't have even known

everything you wrote sounded like i wrote it. i have the same thing and done all the same things and nothing is working. please tell me you figured it out. i have adrenal issues and itching to every food.

Hello friend!
I cannot believe it! I have all of the same symptoms! It is almost scary that our stories are exactly the same. After suffering with the same rashes (and I cant stress enough, horible itchy rashes) ALL OVER, fatigue, food and chemical intolerance, frequent illness, and just plain feeling shitty I am willing to try anything. I also notice that the severe symptoms became more apparant in my late teens and early twenties. I also caught a bad virus recently and felt like I was having a 24hour panic attack! What the heck is that! And in the last couple years I have felt that there are issues with my adrenals. (sexual disfunction) I dont understand what this is and why we have the same exact story. I have also read many other similar stories but yours is so similar its scary! I believe the problems started with my frequent use of antiboitics growing up (which cause candida overgrowth). Other problem factors include birthcontrol pills, tricyclene for Acne and steroid creams. Not to mention a high Sugar diet and the probable GMO, pesticides, and artificial ingredients in the majority of food. I have eliminated most sugar, all gluton, all dairy and all processed food from my diet. It has helped some. I also moved from High elevation to low elevation which also helped with dryness. I know that the hundreds of doctors and dermatoligists are wrong about their diagnosis (eczema). I agree that this is caused bycandida and leaky gut syndrom. After trying every cream, diet, and homeopathic remedy known to man, I finally got a doctor to prescribe me an antifungal. I took a series of three days. I felt like shit but noticed less itching. My rashes have subsided but I still feel random little itches all over... Which i believe is from the leaky gut. Please let me know if you have found anything that helps. You are not alone! ~Love and light~

Have you looked into Lyme disease and it's co-infections Bartonella? Because of your rash it looks like the bartonella rash. It's difficult to treat and can manifest as digestive issues and severe food intolerances . I don't know if you have any of the other symptoms like joint pain, exhaustion, stiff neck etc.. Your naturoapth would need to order the tests for yoru through Igenix labs. Other than that I would look into treating it as a bacterial infection and start taking the herbs that kill Lyme - even if it's not the protocols for Lyme are excellent at killing off parasites and all types of bad bacteria. Ozone therapy is also really good.

Hi! Thank you for post. I am quite sure I have the exact same (or nearly exact same) problem!

I just recently have been exploring gut as the problem and am quite certain it is. You seem younger perhaps, and my condition may have been longer or more gradual. I mention this as the triggers for rash, and malaise are quite clear now though. For example, coffee almost instantly causes a rash, and eating certain things gives me tingling in the areas the rash will appear, almost imperceptibly, but within minutes of eating.

I really have been searching for a long time as this has affected me perhaps 7 years and gotten worse slowly and in waves.

I decided to post the things that I have found and recently worked (affected) the condition!

Here are the two things that seem to affect the condition (I'm not a doctor so please be careful and consult a doctor too first, especially with the first medicine as it is dangerous I believe):

1) Oral Antifungal medication (Flucazole and or Diflucan) This without a doubt affect the rash and caused it to go away within 3 days and the effects felt within a day. The rash cleared for a month at least. This medicine made me nauseous and may have actually lead to bruising on my arms! Really pretty intense stuff and definitely worth questioning, but it without a doubt had the desired affect and led me to believe it is indeed at least partially a fungal infection/imbalance. Perhaps I did not stay on it long enough or balance my body after to achieve long term success.

2) I've been on a Chinese Medicine (as I reside in Shanghai) named 百癣夏塔热片 or written as Baixuan Xiatare Pian. It seems to essentially be herbal and a laxative as it really just has me in the bathroom at least 3 times a day - and to be honest I have never felt better because of it! Really it seems to be having a long term impact and definitely is making me remember what it feels like to be healthy again. I am taking 3 pills 3 times a day. and will for about a month to two months I believe.

Those two things said it is still in process. I'll let you know.

As a side note I believe this condition came about in me after living in Korea for 2 years and not eating so well there as well as being put on an IV of Antibiotics for Bronchitus. I always wonder if that upset the balance of my body and the more I read about digestive disorders the more I think it could be the case. - just thoughts though no solid scientific analysis.

I'd love to know if you solved this as well and would be happy to post pictures here too.

First, I thank you for posting everything, cause it inspires people with same issues, I have many of the same issues an also have taken most of the same precautions to help counter the problems, An have run into the same wall. I
Also in the beginning of this journey dropped lots of weight. Super vaganism and juiced everyday, I still continue this process with a smile, But i eat just more protien now also, finding out , that you really need some meats for certain minerals, but with that said i am facing same kinds of break outs, 2 baths a day, help calm the skin from severe cold weather which my skin totally hates, but i am totally rashed up. Broke out an also fill with black an blue marks from psorisis. I have to mentally find ways to not get depressed from this, but when i read your situation, I learned a lot about myself, thank you for sharing, I want to say again thank you an i think my skin is detoxing trying to pull all toxins out of skin. But the harsh reality looks not so well, i have not had the power to take pictures of it, i think this step would really help me grow. But so bad hard to see. I will send some information i have gotten from dermatologist an herbalists an allergist, i also do not take certain medications but having the certain test done is important, better to know what you are fighting than not know. Also how sensative to foods an certain minerals helps believe me. In the beginning I used to eat things with soy, finding out soy causes more problems, then i stopped immediately. I would like to share some of the postive experiences to maybe help you an also, get good ideas also, believe me not so many people to talk to besides doctors an somethings they say completely wrong,
Again thank you for posting, I have read this 2 times an found somethings I also may have over looked, keep posting we can help an find solutions together as community.
Romey

This post is from years ago. I hope it still finds you. Your symptoms sound a lot like mine a few years ago. I was miserable. I once ran 2 miles home because a combative woman approached me at a night club. My fight or flight response was to immediately run home. That's how bad my anxiety was. I literally flighted the scene. I am still healing from anxiety, leaky gut, adrenal fatigue, food intolerances , rashes. But I have improved quite significantly, almost 100%...

These are in no particular order...

My First and most effective remedy was WATER. I drank a lot more water than what I had been. I realized I'd go all day without drinking plain water. Hydrate hydrate hydrate. Second, ENZYMES. our bodies need enzymes for it to function and remove waste. Enzymes are also great at disarming parasites! Living enzymes are essential for life. I bought NOW brand Papaya enzymes. If chew a handful of them and flush it down with tons of water. I once did this all day. No food, just enzyme supplements and water and I was shocked to see what came out of me in the toilet! It's like draino for your gut. ALSO, Fresh Fruit!! Fruits high in vitamins/enzymes/antioxidants. Fruits are absolutely essential in healing. There are a lot of people who frown against eating fruits with candida infection and they are misinformed. But as humans, we evolved off eating high fruit diet. Fruits are extremely high in enzymes. It's the Lack of enzymes in the modern diet that allow invaders to take over our bodies. Protease Enzymes literally dissolve the protective lining of parasites. (Look it up) Fruits most high in protease enzymes are Kiwi, Papaya, Pineapple. Now, people have a hard time digesting these fruits only because they're not ripe enough. Fruits MUST be fully ripe (almost to the point of spoiling) before it can be consumed. Unripe fruits will reek havoc on the digestive tract. I let my fruits ripen in the window seal so the sun can hit it. They'll also taste better. Third thing that helped me, SAUERKRAUT. (Or Kimchi) Not the regular lifeless pasteurized one. I'm taking about the probiotic Live food you can either make (best) or find at your local health market in the refrigerated section. Cabbage has been proven to heal stomach lining! And probiotics are best when you know for a fact they're still alive as you're eating them. Fermented foods heal! Our gut bacterial accounts for more cells we have in our bodies (x10!!!) probiotics are essential. High stressed people lack the good bacterial in the gut. Gut bacteria are also responsible for the immune system as well as your mood! Healthy bacteria in the gut create The Feel Good chemical, serotonin. Sauerkraut can literally Change your mood AND heal the gut lining. Win win.

Fourth, Belly breathing! We MUST breath with our diaphragm, Not the chest. Most high anxiety people chest breathe. Belly breathing took me a while to master because I was so used to chest breathing. When you breathe, notice if your belly or chest is expanding when you inhale.. if your chest is rising, you're breathing wrong. Practice expanding your belly when inhaling.

Fifth, Meditation. It can be as easy as you make it. Sit still for any length of time and visualize a healthy you. Get in the habit of positive self talk. Say in your head throughout the day "I am healing" or anything positive that motivates your body to heal. Our inner voice is perhaps the most important tool to heal our body.
Lastly, I eliminated foods causing inflammation, pain, distress, mucus:

Wheat (inflammation)
All animal products: All Dairy, Eggs, Meat (mucus)
Canned foods (high in toxins)
Processed/Packaged/junk foods

It's as simple as GETTING BACK TO NATURE

"You are what you eat" is so true.
Dead processed foods = dead body.
Dead animals = dead body.

LIVE LIVING PLANT FOODS = Live healthy body!

AND!! CHEW CHEW CHEW YOUR FOOD! Until it's liquid in your mouth! This is the first process of digestion and it's highly overlooked! Digestion Starts in the Mouth, not the stomach.


Other things that helped me:
Juicing veggies
Oil pulling
Magnesium supplements (known as anxiety mineral)
Natural oils instead of toxic lotions
Water and coffee enemas
Castor oil packs over liver/stomach
Replace table salt with Himalayan salt
Herbal teas
