Hi everybody,

I have a new job and my health is still going better.

I have a better idea of what made me sick.

Chronic candidiasis lead me to candida hypersensitivity. Then the spreading phenomenon common to MCS sufferer lead me to new sensitivities. First happened yeast sensitivity. Then years latter some food hypersensitivities, chemical hypersensitivities and mold/dust hypersensitivities. Finally I had to deal with some electromagnetic sensitivity. All theses hypersensitivities put a major strain on immune system and on detox pathways. These sensitivities contribute to overflow my body with immunocomplexes which in turn create inflammation and suppress cell-mediated immunity.

Then chronic candidiasis come and goes and cannot be fully eradicated. My sensitivities get worse when my chemical load gets high (alcohol, candida die-off, cigarette, mold, gluten or chemical exposures). Chronic candidiasis comes and goes with time and with antifungals intake. Chronic candidiasis gets worse when my load gets also worse.

I did several genetic testing and I have major problem with liver detox pathways.

My problem is a complex problem. It is a typical case of environmental illness. My candidiasis is not an infestation. Most problems link to candida are due to hypersensitivities reactions to candida yeast: inflammation and continuous leaking of canditoxins to which I became hypersensitive.

Some people may be expose to the same toxins without experience any symptoms. My symptoms are due to a specific sensitization to these mycotoxins. Then happened the spreading phenomenon and all the other hypersensitivities.

Symptoms of chronic candidiasis are hypersensitivity symptoms. Inflammation due to sensitized tissues to constant overflow of canditoxins to which I became sensitized over time.

The biggest challenge in our case is to understand that these hypersensitivities reactions may create any possible symptoms depending of your genetic profile and your biomolecular chemistry.

Antifungals are only a slight part of the solution.

One should devote himself to detox day and night. Every means are acceptable when it comes to decrease hypersensitivity reactions. Neutralization/titration, environmental control, diet, avoiding chemicals, sauna, enemas, colon clensing. Nutrient IV's are the most important because we often lack precursors (amino acids, vitamins and minerals) of many enzymes used in many major detox pathways that are nor working properly after years of environmental illness. One also needs IV glutathione to conjugate with immunocomplexes and get rid of them.

ION test is very indicative on your mineral and vitamin deficiencies. I need IV because my gut absorption is not good due to environmental illness and candidiasis. Also, I react to thousand of things and there is too much excipients in oral supplements. They contribute to keep my load too high which is the last thing you want when it comes to heal chronic candidiasis due to an environmental illness.
