so I guess the solution is still the same -get rid of the yeast and repopulate the bowel with good bacteria-then never find yourself in this situation again. My plan at least.

Excellent point. We do have to stop running from germs. I suppose we all get a bit discouraged by the fact that diet improvements seldom prove to be enough once we are on the sickly side of the tracks. Balance is key, all or nothing more and more means nothing! Really its back to basics, liver health, and a clean colon. Funny how your uncle got out of that. Of course, all that alcohol could be keeping his tongue clean. And with all the alcohol breaking down into aldehydes and sugars, I don't suppose the candida has any need to leave the colon with that promised feast everyday. :)

Thank you!! I was getting kinda worried and paranoid for a while, then I just thought no germ theory for me. Louis Pasteur even acknowledged toward the end of his years that the environemnt of the human body has a definate effect on what will survive and thrive. So, I will replace my toothbrush every 2-4 weeks - only because my father-in-law is an orthodontist and I get lots of brushes for free. And, I can relax as long as I don't think about all the possible mold spores that I could be inhaling into my lungs at this possible moment with every breath...

Hi Jake,

I agree with you a thousand percent that we are too sterile. I ignore a lot of the advice not to touch this or that, or lick this or that, and I refuse to use antimicrobial soap. I clean, but not fanatically. I'm sure my counter tops would look horrendous under that black light they use to show contamination of E-Coli and stuff.

I think the point about the toothbrushes, though, is IF you have an exisiting condition of THRUSH, then you could be re-infecting yourself by using a toothbrush that has been used to clean a mouth that is full of thrush. If you did not have thrush as a kid, there would be no reason to switch toothbrushes often to avoid re-contact.

A white coated tongue is a sign your body is expelling waste nothing more. It can be taken as a sign we are effectively cleaning ourselves. Your uncle's tongue wasnt white because he is accumulating, not expelling. As long as the stomach is busy digesting/breaking down foods, the white coating receeds.

I think you are so right. Really bothers me to think of people who go
on alcohol and coke binges for weeks, spend a little time in rehab
and they are good to go. And look fine. Granted they may pay for it later,
but they don't suffer long. Not that that's what I want to do, God knows
I'd be dead or at least end up in the hosp., but to try to do so right
and still feel and look like Hell, doesn't seem right. Saw small article
about "parathyroid" [controls/produces stomach HCL] but haven't been able
to find much more about it. Do believe this [HCL] and intestinal flora
is what keeps bacteria/germs under control. These two along with bile
from the liver is where digestion comes in. Don't produce enough HCL
and not having good flora [from taking freaking antibotics] and you
got double trouble. Undigested food feeds bad bacteria, next thing
you know you've got leaky gut, now you livers gone into overtime trying
to clean all things from your blood stream that doesn't belong there.
Stones form, now you have no or low HCL, no good intestinal flora and
lack of sufficient bile, boom, constipation. Stress kicks into high gear,
and it all goes down hill real fast from here. Had someone tell me the other day, "my father was a meat and potatoes guy, coffee and beer was all he drank, lived well into his 80's, and was never sick. How come?" My guess is he had a strong stomach, didn't take Antibiotics and didn't worry too much about anything.
Man, what a lucky guy. You hear germs won't live where thay can't surrive.
So if you had proper amounts of HCL, food would be digested correctly,
nothing for germs to live on in your gut, no need for Antibiotics .
Didn't mean to ramble. If you find more about HCL, PLEASE, be sure to
post.

Thanks

Ah the idiot doctors! They are the ones who pull the trigger. I can honestly say that all of my health problems are due to the doctors. Every single one is iatragenic. If only my mother had known and trusted her instincts. I could go on all day about this one. You know you never know where your path is going to lead but when you get here you have perspective and know where you have been. This is what I have figured out thus far.

If you take a baby and completely give him the wrong food (cow's milk) which is an assault on him immature immune system. He gets no antibodies from mamma or the correct balance of nutrients for his optimum development. Vaccinate him with all sorts of poisons that his little immune system was never intended to come in contact with. Bring him home to an environment that is constantly being disinfected with poisonous toxins. Wean him to foods laden with poison - hormone and Antibiotic laced meats and foods that are no where near being fresh, grown out of season, limited variety also full of poison. Let him eat that all of his growing years. Then begin the occasional assault with Antibiotics (he is getting ear infections from drinking the cow's milk because most people are allergic/intolerant of it). Remove his tonsils or put tubes in the ears. Start brushing his teeth with toothpaste with Triclosan in it. Wash his hands with antibacterial soap. Continue to sterilize the environment. More vaccinations. Buy him tennis shoes with antibacterial materials. Feed him more processed food. He hits puberty and starts to use anti-perspirant, containing poisonous aluminum, holding in all of the toxins that should flow freely. Put a few Amalgam fillings in his mouth. He begins to have acne. Supress it with Antibiotics for a few years. Some how his resilient body endures because it is young but the assault never ends.

Zoom ahead years and you have US! The doctor's were "the experts" and lined their pockets with money while playing God. They are not going to admit that this is the case but we all know it is. They wanted to help people but their egos got in the way. They did not know how to listen and they did not know what was normal. They have not learned by their mistakes. My old Sicilian ex mother in law would say, "The doctor will make you sick, stay away." Very dangerous and ignorant when we do not listen to the wisdom of those before us. Very dangerous to have no culture to keep us on the right path.

Judging by the state we are in and seeing the problems of the newer generations (obesity, diabetes, ADHD, autism, allergies etc) I would say we're are in a heap of trouble now and it is going to take a while to rebalance this. If we figure out a way to cure ourselves, we are obbligated to make sure this does not continue to happen. I always promise this when I ask to be healed and I will not stop turning over the rocks until I find a way. May we all find a cure.

I agree totally.

I had a couple viruses eleven years ago and took a bunch of Antibiotics because I didn't know any better. I was sick for a week each time I think.

I don't use antibacterial soap, except at work, because that's all there is. I only use vegetable oil soaps, and eat berries off the ground most of the year. I have been learning about wild foods for the last couple of years, and I never wash anything that I eat in the parks here in town, and I have not been sick in ten years.
I haven't been to the doctor since then, except to check my cholesterol, and it was 156, considering I've eaten meat and dairy all my life, that is good proof to me that Liver Cleanses work. And my dad has high cholesterol, but he is taking a half-dose now, because he eats super healthy now. :-)

My friend is on medications for allergies, depression, and carries around constantly a small bottle of anti-bacterial lotion. He is in a very bad spot in health and will probably not get any better, he's also at least 70 pounds overweight, doesn't exercise, and drives everywhere. He gets sick all of the time. He had his galbladder taken out a few years ago, and all of this makes me very sad. I tell him about all the cleases I do, and he just says where's the proof, I tell him I haven't been sick in ten years, I can eat anything I want, as much as I want, and not feel like crap ever.

So there is my two cents about killing every germ in sight is a very bad idea!!
