It turns out this man is one of my pharmacists at a small, family run pharmacy that I have been using for years. Just the fact that it is a pharmacy and had a full aisle dedicated to homeopathic and natural remedys and supplements caught my interest.
I went in to fill a 'script for my thyroid meds and while I was waiting for it, I figured let me get some lecthicn and ox bile for the gallbladder flares that I was having. This man comes walking down the asile, introduced himself and asked if I needed any help and we got to talking and I gave him my background on the gallbladder issue and my thryoid and how after 2 years of meds I am still suffering with severe hypothyroid symptoms.
Long story short... He is a pharmacist for 39 years and a Nutritionist for 29. He believes in micronutrients and that many of our diseases/ailments come from poor nutrition. But... he's not one of those that says eat the food pyramid and you will be fine. I made an appointment with him and we met. I brought him all my bloodwork from the past 2 yrs (since diagnosed with thyroid). The consultation was about an hour and 45 minutes and that man went though every single page of my bloodwork, asked about my history, what I am currently suffering with, certian illnesses that may run in the family (hypothyroidism tends to run in familys, as does Lupus which my sister suffers from).
Get this.... I am thinking pharmacist right... is gonna want to just give me medications and drugs. He pointed out that my tests indicate that i have absolutely no essential fatty acids and no magnesium in my body at all, and that this will cause the brainfog, confusion, weakness, fatigue, muscle cramping and spasms, extremely dry skin. I also have almost no iron either. I asked about the heartburn and told him about the athlete's foot and very very tenatively mentioned candida overgrowth.
Well... his reaction to that was that he agreed, I most likely do have a candida problem as well as others. What a wonderful relief to have someone in the medical community acknowledge this.
It was very interesting to hear what he had to say, the supplements he provided and even more important is right now that I am starting to feel a little better. Not fighting the candida yet, as he said my entire body is so out of balance that would do more harm than good. Best thing right now is to get me more centered on the EFA and Iron and Magnesium, address the heartburn with a GI "revive" drink which helps re-establish the akaline state of the stomach, told me to start taking probiotics daily and give me d-ribose to help rebuild the muscle that has completely deteriorated in my body over the past 4 years. Oh and he also suggested some dietary guidelines to follow as I am not getting enough protein, veggies, fruit or water. (by the way - great book is the Nutrition Alamanac by Lavon J. Dunne)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071373381/002-1383542-2077663?v=glance&n=28...
I haven't followed all he has given me yet. But I am getting there and I have to say with just the addition of the vitamins and fish oil/flax oil I feel so much better!
I see him again on Friday - if any one is interested I will let you know what he says.

yup, congratulations. after a few months of being convinced i had candida and doing self-treatment with all kinds of things, i found a doctor too. an amazing, fabulous acupuncturist/chinese medicine specialist, and it's thanks to her that i am walking and talking now. she did the most elaborate lab tests (stool and urine), and then i was like an open book to her. it turns out i don't have candida, which was totally under control, but another bacteria that's making me bloat and giving me gas; that the brain fog and all cognitive symptoms are because of lack of essential fatty acids and severe malabsorbtion problems; it turns out i was severely depleted of vitamins and had a subclinical B12 deficiency anemia!!!, and consequently critically depleted of antioxidants, and my liver was totally messed up and not able to function properly.
today was my third treatment, and i have TREMENDOUS improvement. first she gave me 4-5 shots of B12 while waiting for my results, and then started with electro-acupuncture, antioxidants, and custom-made(!!!) vitamins. interestingly, she did an acup. treatment on my thyroid, even though i thought i never had problems with it, because in chinese medicine it's apparently related to the function of the liver. results: first the fatigue went away, 98 percent! then the brain fog. it was gone in a couple of weeks. and the lightheadedness/confusion. that's all gone! my thinking is crystal-clear. the coordination of my fingers is a little off, but she says not to worry (i couldn't type for a while...)
she is doing a highly individual treatment now, and working very very slowly, and very "gently," as she says. no detox yet, no cleansing or things like that before my body is fully replenished and back in balance, otherwise it can't handle it. so what was my point? ah, an advice for people on this board: do not diagnose yourself!!!! unless you have the expertise. there are many things that can cause the symptoms that candida gives you, and after so much reading and researching, i tend to side with those that think candida cannot exist on its own, there is an underlying problem, a malfunctioning organ or a dysbalance, that needs to be properly diagnosed. there are really good people out there and the right labs for that. i know, i am paying tons of money but i was in the deepest of dungeons for three months, seriously, and having my life back is like a blessing.

This is a reply to # 301,299Hi TBO! i know, i am in california and it's much easier here. I had a friend recommend me her doctor. I would start by asking around. Ask for a naturopath or a licenced acupuncturist. here is a good site to get info on naturopaths: http://www.biohealthinfo.com/index.html.
personally, acupuncture has had an amazing effect on me, you should give it a try. ideally it would be someone that combines acupuncture and herbal treatment, as most people do. licenced acupuncturists also have access to labs and can do the necessary labs. I would say just ask ask ask and make sure it's someone that has years of experience in acupuncture, while at the same time keeps on top of all the recent stuff that biolabs have to offer. i wish i could be of more help, but i am sure there are good people in chicago!

This is a reply to # 301,297Hi,
Isn't it incredible how widely different we all are... I had a shot of B12 once, 1/2 the recommended dose for my weight and I was gasping for air for 3 days. I couldn't stuff enough iron or folic acid into me to match or assimilate all the B12. First I started gasping, and when I took some iron it helped a little, then the "gasping" started again. Taking any more iron after that just made the symptoms worse.
Same with other minerals too. Frustrating to need minerals so desperately and not be able to take much.

ob,
why do you think you need minerals? Just wondering
I find you situation to be very curious. I still feel there is something you are missing that is causing the problem such as an enzyme maybe.
I have very strange type symptoms also when I consume sugar. My reading of course...again....led me to magnesium. I can't help but feel there is most likely one key element missing here.

This is a reply to # 301,315Michelle,
I'm thinking about what you are asking.
Why do I think I need minerals? Because I have a few classic Ca & Mg def symptoms. Only occasionally I get low in iron now, so the same symptoms I already described are not consistently urgent.
I do quite well when I eat a mostly vegetable diet and I get lots of minerals that way through food, but I still need more, because of the long standing symptoms.
I'm wondering about what you said about sugar. What are your symptoms and how do you relate that to minerals? I do know that it takes vit B1 to metabolize sugar, and may lead to def symptoms of that. Also, because Sugar is so highly acid forming it erodes the Ca reserves, since Ca is broken down in an acid medium.
Maybe my symptoms do have to do with sugar, since it's hard to keep my blood Sugar on an even keel. Up,down/up,down, etc. What are you symptoms when you eat Sugar that are non candida symptoms?

This is a reply to # 301,366When I eat Sugar I feel tense all over, anxious, hyper, like I took speed or something. Sometimes my heart races and I feel brain fog or buzzy headed as I refer to it.
Sugar metabolism trouble can be a glaring magnesium deficiency.
The more I look back at my whole life the more I think I have been deficient for a long time. Many symptoms have cleared up and disappeared when I supplement. Although, some still linger though not as severe. I really only started myserious candida fight on Jan 13 and I feel I have made lots of progress. I think it was more about minerals that anything else. Taking the minerals even seems to cause die off for me.

Yes, the list of symptoms for Mg deficiency is very long, one ofthem faulty Sugar metabolism. How do you get your Mg, only in concentrace or do you take it before bed at night like some people here.
In my mind I can't figure which comes first, the cart or the horse. Did I have Sugar metabolism problem, which "eats up" the minerals? Or do I have mineral def, esp Mg that CAUSES the Sugar met prob and candida to grow? I'm tossing this around.

I don't know if we will ever figure this whole thing out. I know for a fact I have candida and have had it for quite some time and this is my second time. Now it could have very well been exacerbated by a lack of minerals or caused by the lack of minerals. Or the candida could have caused the deficiences. We may never know what came first, but obviously they both make the other worse and worse.
I truly believe 95% of my problems are related to mineral deficiences. And mineral troubles take time to fix. Of course , when you have candida they take even longer because of malabsorbtion issues.
In any case, I take about 40 drops of concentrace daily throughout the day. I also take a multi 3 times a day that adds up to 100 mg of Mg and I take extra Mg that totals 400 Mg. Mg is best absorbed in many small doses so I spread it out throughout the day. Basically I pop pills with every meal and before I go to bed. As soon as I drop off taking the Mg , the burning feelings start to return. For instance a few nights ago I had realized I had forgotten to take all my vitamins for the day , by nightime the burning was already starting. I took everything...about 30 pills right before bed. But I felt lousy in the morning, I am sure it was because most of it was not absorbed. Magnesium needs as many small doses as possible.
Anyway , there are lots of ways to get magnesium. There is a magnesium oil recommended by Dr. Dean that I used also when I was very ill. Spray it on, leave it dry, then wash off. Or you can put it on the back of your hands and tops of feet a few times a day and it absorbed thru the skin bypassing the digestive tract completely.
I think Calcium is also as important, to me anyway. But prior to taking mg I was a mess. A real mess. And Mg takes a long time to get back up to normal; amounts. of course I had to catch a stupid stomach virus and I am sure I lost most of what I had acomplished with all the diarrhea I had. Oddly, everyone else also had vomitting, but not me. I was not even sick to my stomach, just had terrible diarrhea, like 10-15 times every night about 20 minutes apart. Everything I ate came right out. I was not even taking vitamins during this time because I was so afraid of causing more bowel movements. Although part of me thought,this might be good since food is passing thru so quick, candida might not be getting anything. So maybe it actually helped, but it did drain me of alot of nutrients. I basically started all over again the second week of March, and I am playing catch up now.
In any event, I say it really makes no difference which came first, they both must be addressed if we are to get well. You told me once before that you felt good while taking concentrace...have you started taking it again? If not maybe you should consider it. It has helped me tremendously, and you are partly the reason I started with it because you said it helped you.
I am also going to start on a green drink, green pills, ph booster for my water as well as eating tons of yogurt. I am going to punch its lights out or at least give it a run for its money!

This is a reply to # 301,404Michelle,
I do welcome your support. As we said before, all of us here are the family support that we don't have at home. So thanks for your input and to bounce things off of.
Yes, I started taking concentrace again. But only 2 drops per 12 oz. glass of water. BTW I also put in the same glass 2 drops of AlkaLife drops and with the pH strip it comes out to 7.5 - 8. I keep forgetting to put concentrace on my HFS list. I will get the big bottle. I notice a difference already as far as mood just with the few drops a day.
You said you are taking pH drops for your water? What is it?
I'm interested in the Mg oil you put on your skin. Do you have a link for that?
One of my favs for getting Mg w/o ingestion is a strong Epsom Salts foot bath right before bed. 20 mins then I let that dry and go to bed with my feet well socked and warm. Otherwise, on a daily basis, I get Mg in my liquid multiple minerals and extra as liquid Mg chloride, about 200 mg/day. I bought Mg citrate fizz powder, but not been brave enough to try that yet.
Yes, about Ca. It's another I have so much trouble with. If I add it, outside of a multiple, it creates defs in K, Mg, and iron. Maybe ok if I take even more Mg. Ca seems to have the highest pH.
You mentioned how much of a mess you were. I remember. Your posts were really frantic. I'm really impressed by your bull dog attitude and your progress. You inspire me.
I do think getting to the root of the first/essential problem is key. Then I can work my way back. But I feel I have to get to the root of whichever problem comes first. Otherwise, I end up just treating symptoms, even if treated naturally, it's still just treating the symptoms. And the longer one has chronic problems, the more it affects the DNA, making it REALLY difficult to heal. When it gets to that point, we're looking at the mitochondria of the cell and its aqueous proteins acting as semiconductors of electromagnetic frequency, which polarize the cell, thus affecting the DNA.
I'm also looking into Phase I/Phase II detox pathways, liver and pancreas issues and (above mentioned) electro medicine.
If you ever really want to start a candida foundation, let me know. I have a great nutritionist friend who is very forward thinking, eager to do cutting edge treatments and new science.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Oh yes... what is the skin Mg you spoke of?

Well, I might sound like a bulldog, but believe me I have my fair share of downtime. And the last few days I have been emotional and my feelings are getting hurt alot by family members who seem totally disinterested.
BUt I want my life back, bad. And I have lived along time being sick and I am through with it. There is so much more information out there for people that what was available the first time I got candida. In 1992 there was no internet and no info. All I had was Dr. Crook Yeast Connection and I followed it to a T and got completely better. One thing we all have to remember is healing the body does take time. And last time it took me 5-7 months before I felt better and 1 year before I ate normal food again. This time , it is probably going to take longer, but I do have much more in my arsenal. I mean after all , I did not get this way overnight, it was a long time coming. And looking back I can see how warning signs I was given. Now I am paranoid about every body function. Now I believe the body sends messages when something is not right so I question every headache, every intestinal twitch, even a pimple raises an eyebrow, lol. I hope when I get better I am not living obsessed. I don't want to become like Rockefeller. Geez, who knows what kind of emotional or mental fallout there will be from being so terrified. Either I will be a frightened little mouse, or learn to appreciate life and live it to its fullest. Hubby and I already have plans to by mopeds and cruise the shoreline this summer. That is my goal to be better by summer. Probably will not be healed entirely, but at least be able to live normally.
Here is the magnesium oil Dr. Dean told me about
http://www.globallight.net/magnesium-oil-8-oz.html
I will be taking
this ph booster...claims to get water up to a ph of 9.0 - 10. That ought to fix those little $%^%^%$.
http://www.ph-ion.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=215
This is the green drink and capsules I mentioned
http://www.ph-ion.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=210
I looked around and I like these products because they seemed to not have filler junk. I really do not care what it tastes like, I just want bare bones alkaline supps without the sweetners etc. I would eat dirt if I thought it would help, lol.
( I hope no one says that it would help after reading this, lol)
Anyway, I will experiement with these products when they arrive. Oddly tonight I was 7.0 all night and most of today. But all I have been eating is salads and yogurt, tons of it. I am the healthiest sick person there ever was.
So what does your nutritionist say about your mineral issues?

This is a reply to # 301,418I wrote you a long reply and lost it, darn! Well, he's been helping me with my mom and blood Sugar issues and cell rejuvenation and inflammation. Now that I'm sorting out my mineral problems I will ask him what he thinks about that.
Thanks for the links. I ordered some Mg gel, as the oil you have to put in the bath, or so it says.
The pH booster looks real good too, maybe more complete than what I have; at least it has more info than the Alkalife site I buy from. I still have a half bottle Alkalife drops so I will let that get low before ordering the pH booster.
About family... I cried a lot too, which didn't change anyone and did me no good either. I had to hear all their health probs too. They laughed at me for bringing my own zucchini to Christmas parties and drinking special water, etc., and all my pills. They told me I would feel better if I ate normal food like steak and potatoes and chili and corn dogs, barf. Guess I just got numb, then from there I just learned to buck up and do my own thing. It does get scary though when you think you might end up dead on the floor and no one will notice for several days.
In the meantime your friend has a crowd gathered around while she laments over her latest failure at the hair stylist. "What in the world am I going to do?" The hair is too long, too short, wrong color, wrong weave, husband hates, and your mind is blitzing on the fact that your problem REALLY IS a life and death issue and no one knows and you can't explain it to any degree that anyone would understand. If you try they look at you as though you just spit out moon rocks no one knows what to do with. "Huh?" someone says to you. "Yeah," someone else says to the hair person. "What do you mean it's orange? Is not..." lol phew! long rant. They can identify with the horror of orange hair, but they just don't know what to think about microbial toxins. "Oh... Micro tax?" someone asks. "Yeah, I'd like to do that 1040 short form this year." Sigh, what ya gonna do?
I can either look back and think of all the s/he done me wrong or I can be the bulldog and say f/u... I'm getting joy. It all depends on what you want to put your identity into. I might sound corse and crass, but I had my choice to wallow in the dirty frustrations under the carpet (where I put them so my family wouldn't know how I really felt) or I could put on a smile. Sometimes you just have to get tough, even if you feel like a mouse flattened by a truck. I know you can do it. Once in awhile I fall down, but hardly ever anymore. if I fall down I'll let you know. At least now I know who's listening.
