Doc,
I need your expert advice. A lot of doctors here in Manila do not understand or consider Candidiasis.

Im a 33 y.o. Guy from Manila, Philippines. I came across A blog documenting her struggle against candida and parasites. Her name is Terry and she mentioned that candida infection might also lead to parasitic infection of the body. How do I know if I have it?

I'm currently sick. As of date I'm dealing with several illnesses: chronic dizziness (like I'm in a constantly floating in a boat feeling) , tinnitus, spinning dizziness ,falling and sinking type of feeling, brain fog, migraines, anxiety disorder, panic attacks, depression, gastrointestinal problems( gurgling, acid reflux, food sensitivities), allergic rhinitis , post nasal drip, body weakness, loss of appetite(recently) .

Why i think i have candida? Well for the longest time I had gastro intestinal problems, allergic rhinitis and migraines.
The anxiety and the dizziness that happened To me recently seeemd it's caused by something else and not psychological in nature. It's hard bec no one believes in this theory of mine.

Here's a chronological summary of my illnesses:
Currently
Taking rivotril (clonazepam-anti anxiety); zescita (escitalopram-anti depressant)
May 2014 - dizziness intensified. I couldn't tolerate sitting still. I End up reclining or lying in bed to feel relief.
Jan 6 2014 - had a bout of vertigo dizziness
Jan 9 2014 - went to a neurologist was diagnosed with vestibular migraine. Was prescribed with vertigo medicine and calcium channel blockers to suppress the migraine but it didn't work.stopped taking it after three days. Only the rivotril was giving me relief though the downside to that is I need to take it daily again. Developed tinnitus and occasional arthritic pain on my left hand(sign of an immune attack)
Oct-dec 2013 - started getting in and off falling sinkin feeling if I'm seated or woken g Ina computer. That feeling would last for 2 seconds and will go away.
Along this time I had stretched my rivotril and zescita intake and weaned/stretched it to 9 days.
Feb-sept 2013 - thought I only had anxiety and depression and managed these illneses by taking anti anxiety medication and anti depressant medication.
Feb 2013 - went to see a psychiatrist to seek help regarding my anxiety problems. Aside from the constant ruminating of anxious thoughts I get other symptoms like Chest pain, tightness of chest dizziness, palpitations, muscle twitching, insomnia, developed depression, etc.
Dec 2012 - two days free Xmas I had my first panic attack ad anxiety attack which led to hyperventilation. What triggered the panic attack was a dizzy spell which was like a really bad one. I thought that day I was going to die.

Oct 2012-dec 2012
On several occasions id wake up from early evening naps feeling delirious like I don't know where I am. I'd snap back to reality but it was really making me anxious.
Also my body started getting tired all the time like I'm always sleepy.

Jan 2012 had an MRI To rule out any problems in my brain bec I was constantly getting migraines . Before it was seldom now it was like once a month. Results show no brain problem.
Dec 2011 had gastrointestinal problems . Due to stress/pressures from work I developed high acidity and food sensitivities.
I was prescribed with proton pump inhibitors and antacids to relieve myself of the pain. Stuck to the antacid for almost a year (till 2012).

2000-2012
Had on an off allergic rhinitis. I took antibiotics and anti histamine to control the post nasal drip.
Had on and off migraines and took Advil and paracetamol to deal with the pain.

2000-hospitalized for acute appendicitis (no X-ray just diagnosis) bec of intense pain in my gut and was given antibiotics thru IV for several days.


What's also making me pinpoint candida is the diet that I had. I love eating processed foods, junk foods, sugar, desserts which feeds on candida. Plus the fact I have a history of anti biotic use and gastrointestinal problems

I read during research on the net that migraines and psychological problems are linked to candida.

What got me really worried lately are my dizzy spells . They're intensifying and if ill base it on my neurologists diagnosis there's apparently no cure. I believe I don't have vestibular migraine and that dizziness is linked to toxins caused by something in my gut.

how can I be able to zero in on the if it is candida, h.pylori or parasitic infection?

Your advise would really mean a lot to me. I feel so alone on my struggle bec no one gets what I'm feeling even my family:(

By the way what are your thoughts on Dr. Humiston's Anti Candida Protocol?

It'd mean the world to me to hear from you. Thank you and I hope this email reaches you.
