MoreHi all,
Just wondering how long it takes for symptoms like tingling and twitching muscles take to go away. The brain fog lifted a few days after I started the candida diet and I do have a little more energy, but my hands and feet still tingle and I still have muscles that twitch randomly.
Cheers,

Good to hear that the brain fog is gone. This means your leaky gut is under control which is great news.
Now that you are convinced that one can actually get cured, you need to know about the delays, right? One wish he could just put a schedule and get all organized about it.
Well it does not quite work that way.
How long depends on
-how quickly you will clean your intestine (are you taking Bentonite clay shake 4 times a day followed by the same quantity of water (your kidneys will love this)? Olive oil? flax seed oil?)
-How well you supplement your deficiency in essential nutrients: candida eats our magnesium, one apple a day or mag supplements are important.
-How quickly you clean your liver and kidneys.
- How efficient you are at addressing YOUR specific needs.
Furthermore, the symptoms are likely to come back. When your cleansing organs: colon, kidneys and liver - are going to be in better shape they will clean your body more eficiently and in the process they will release toxins that are going to bring back the symptoms... which will be good news .... it will then mean that you are on the fast track .
So don't focus too much on the symptoms as much as on the treatment.

This is a reply to # 540,998Hi Jhan,
I suffer with brain fog quite badly.
Are you saying that leaky gut is the primary cause of it? I guess because undigested food particles and toxins leak from the intestines and enter the blood stream leading to the foggy head feeling.
How can I resolve my leaky gut problem? I am desperate to get rid of my fog after having it for 5 or so years!!
Just so you know my background I've been on the ant-candida diet for a month now, am taking anti-fungals, probiotics and have done several Colon Cleanses and and 2 Liver Flushes so far. I feel OK apart from the fog!
Many thanks.

This is a reply to # 541,002You're right,
Brain fog is due to undigested food particles and toxins that leak from the intestines and enter the blood stream leading to the foggy head feeling.
coffee enemas will solve your brain fog problem. Purchase an enema bag, put lukewarm plain coffee in it (see Curezone main page/Cleanse for the complete protocol). Once a day.
When your brain fog is cured, your enema bag will still be useful for the salt enema that cleans further up the intestine. Another must.
For now coffee enemas. Until the brain fog is under control.
Soon, you will want to leave the antifungals aside, opting for garlic instead, go slowly, one step at a time but antifungals gets rid of the entire natural flora of your intestine and this does not help the metabolism. In the process you will want to take acidophilus supplement or plain yogurt with a spoonful of flaxseed oil, or Threelac. I like the yogurt, flaxseed better. This will help restore the natural flora of your intestine. Garlic will only reach your colon if you eat it whole. Once your brain fog is under control, try 3 full cloves of garlic, first thing in the morning, for a few days in arow, instead of antifungals. With yogurt, so as to restore the natural balance of your colon.
Which Colon Cleanse did you do? Did you use Bentonite & Psyllium SHake? You should mainly focus on your colon until the brain fog is gone. Yes, chronic brain fog is related to leaky gut, however an occasional brain fog means your colon is dealing with tons of toxins, this then means you're in the healing process but your colon is a little overwhelmed. In other words, like I said to Elio, the symptoms WILL come back. You 'll simply need to go back to coffee enemas to solve it quickly.
Drink a lot, try and aim at doing so for two weeks: one big glass of juice 2 hours after each meal, followed by the same amount of water (vegetable or fruit juice, fresh is the best, apple juice is a good option, because it contains pectin and magnesium... and candida eats up our magnesium). This will help both your colon and kidneys.
You should take lecithin supplement, one for every meal, this will protect your nervous system, and your brain.
Sleep a lot, your body needs the rest to be able to recover and most of the cleansing of the body takes place during our sleep.
Carry on,
Jhan

This is a reply to # 541,005Many thanks for your advice Jhan.
Sorry, I should have been clearer in my previous post. I have not done any P&B shakes yet but I have performed around two plain warm water enemas per week for the last month.
Whilst I find them pleasant and very useful in removing unwanted waste, they haven't helped relieve my fog.
By the way I must clarify what brain fog means to me. It's a feeling of detachment and spaciness like having my head surrounded in perspex, plus cognitive issues like memory problems, and difficulties finding the right words when I speak. The fog is always there. It never goes.
Do you think coffee enemas will make a real difference compared to the simple warm water ones? Maybe remove more toxins??
(PS I am taking Fungal Defense right now plus Caprylic Acid. I am moving on to Primal Defense next week and will start taking garlic too as you advise).- Re: Brain Fog - to friendly bear sleepygal

It sounds like we have the exact same problem. Nasty brain fog that is ruining our lives! I do have other symptoms which aren't as bad. The fog never goes away does it. I am currently drinking a colon shake every day, doing plain water enemas 2-3 times a week, have done 2 Liver Flushes with some stones, have taken fungal defense, currently taking primal defense and green foods. Also taking other supplements. I am wishing you good luck on getting rid of the fog and if you find anything that works please let me know. I have just started L-glutamine for leaky gut so I will let you know if it works.
Take care, Tammy- Re: Brain Fog - to friendly bear friendlybear

This is a reply to # 541,013Hi Tammy,
You're right, our plights seem very similar!!
It sounds like you're doing all the right things though so I'm sure you'll see some benefits soon.
I just took a look at your list of messages and saw that you first came to this site 3 months ago so you have a good headstart on me!
One thing I keep reading on this site again and again is the importance of a clean detoxed liver. That and a tip-top digestive system seems to be the key to better health.
Like me you've only done 2 Liver Flushes so it's early days yet. I think you need to do at least 6 to 8 to feel the full benefits which I really hope includes a clear head. I eliminated around 150 stones after my flushes which is great but the fog remains :-[
I'm going to keep doing them though.
What's confusing me slightly is the cause of the fog. Some say it's because candida yeast literally excretes a type of alcohol that makes us feel drunk all the time and others say it's to do with leaky gut and toxins in the blood stream. Maybe it's a combination??
Stay in touch and let us all know of any breakthroughs.
Take care.

This is a reply to # 541,008Did your brain fog get worse when you started the Fungal Defense? Mine did. I was on a break from work, thank goodness, because I was having a hard time functioning. I figured it was just die off, but I was so thankful to be through with that regime. I feel immensely better since starting the Primal Defense and RM-10 at higher doses than pre-Fungal Defense. I am also doing the Innerlight's Supergreens. Something's working.

This is a reply to # 541,020Hi Bev,
Yes, my fog got worse on Fungal Defense too! My tongue got more coated than ever as well. It was like the FD was just making the candida really angry :-]
I finished my 2 weeks of FD last night and took my first dose of Primal this morning and I'm praying it does some good soon.
Has your fog gotten better after starting PD?
And if you don't mind me asking what is RM-10?
Best wishes.- Re: To Friendlybear bevpirt

This is a reply to # 541,030Hi Friendlybear,
My fog has lifted some after finishing the Fungal Defense and starting back on the Primal Defense. I am using 3 in the a.m. and 3 in the p.m. along with the same amounts of RM-10. RM-10 is the mushroom immune enhancing formula by Garden of Life. Have you read Jordan Rubin's "Patient Heal Thyself?" This is where I learned about a lot of his products. You can get it free from most sites where his products are sold. Very interesting and informative. Many testimonials of folks turning around their candida just on these products alone.
I am also using the Innerlight Supergreens to get more alkaline. Have not been diligent about checking pH, but the lift in energy I am feeling may be a synergistic effect of everything as well as the gorgeous weather where I live. Seems like I have been sleeping through the night more often than not and having lots of dreams, sleeping more deeply.
I am also trying other things like the morning tonic from "Nourishing Traditions" It has Noni juice, H202 drops, azomite minerals and cod liver oil. Then a few days ago, I added magnesium taurate by Cardiovascular Research Inc. There is a wonderful post/link about magnesium on the Depression forum several days ago, which is where I learned about it.
So lots of good things. Keep at it and you will eventually find what works for you.

Regarding brain fog, I have had it 5 yrs all the time. If I did'nt have it I would feel ok also.
I know I have leaky gut and am doing colon cleansing and have done 2 liver flushes, anti-candida diet. How does a coffee enema help with brain fog. I heard that it can make you more acidic and then your body won't heal.
I just started L-Glutamine. Any other suggestions? This brain fog is seriously ruining my life. Thank you.

This is a reply to # 541,005Dear Jhan and others,
It's great to find that a site like this exists. I've had my brain fog for 16 years now, and Candida was one of the first possibilities suggested to me. However, a couple of years ago I followed a rigorous 6-month program --strict diet, antifungal herbs, and Colloidal Silver -- and while I felt fine otherwise, the brain fog remained. I concluded that perhaps Candida wasn't the problem after all. Now I'm looking back into this. Yesterday I did my first saliva test, and sure enough cloudy stringers appeared in the glass. (How accurate is that test, anyway?)
At any rate, maybe I wrote off Candida too soon. I have reasons to suspect other kinds of toxicity as well, so I've started some of the detox measures suggested in the book The Chemistry of Success, by Somebody Lark -- coffee enemas, PB drinks, and an organic, liver-friendly diet. Also I did a gentle liver cleanse for 10 days with grapefruit juice and all of that, and I'm planning to try Hulda Clark e's liver cleanse a few times.
That said, I have kind of a grab bag of questions, and I'll be grateful for any sort of responses:
1. I bought an enema at a hospital supply store with a rubber bag. Is there a danger of the rubber leaching into the coffee thus exposing me to yet another toxin?
2. Jhan, you said that the coffee enema was the cure for brain fog, and I'm certainly going to give it a try. Assuming it is in fact what I need, how long will I have to to the enema before I feel some relief? Also, I'm wondering, if I do have Candida, wouldn't at least some of my fog be caused by the Candida organisms themselves in my brain tissue, not just by toxins? (Or does the Candida just count as another toxin?) If the two are in fact distinct, any idea how to drive the Candida out of the brain tissue?
3. I'm intrigued by this ThreeLac product. However, I've taken lots of probiotics before (including almost 3 months of primal defense at 18 caps per day) with no improvement in my brain symptoms. Given that probiotics only treat the gut, how helpful are they for a truly systemic infection? Do you think ThreeLac is worth bothering with? And are there any other Candida remedies you might recommend? (I think I've tried nearly all, but one never knows.)
4. I'm also looking into overacidity and oxygen depletion for the first time, and thanks to the book I mentioned earlier and all of your comments on this forum, I'm beginning to see the connection of these conditions with Candida and brain fog. Naturally I'm going to test my pH and can follow the alkaline diet easily enough, and I've stepped up my exercise to get more oxygen into my blood. But are there other therapies anyone can suggest for acidity and low oxygen, something that might give faster results? For example, I read that ozone therapy is great for boosting oxygen levels -- does anyone know the best way of getting it into one's system, and where one might buy the appropriate equipment, if necessary?
I've emphasized Candida an awful lot here, but I'm still not certain I have it. I'm assuming that the detox measures will help whether I do or not.
I'll stop here and see what kind of suggestions you all can offer. I appreciate this immensely.

This is a reply to # 541,002Hi friendlybear,
I have had a problem with brain forg in the past, then I discovered a large number of minnor symptoms that all suggested candida infection. I found a website (link below) that explained it quite well how candida can cause leaky gut and then brain fog and allergies and all sorts of other things that would not occur to you until you read it. I am on ThreeLac now (+colostrum for the leaky gut); my brain fog lifted about three weeks after starting to take it.
Hope this helps,

You are french or at least speak french if I'm not mistaken, right?
As far as cleanses go I am investigating simple milkd detoxes and cleanses. Since I no longer have my colon I don't want to strain my digestive system. If you can make some suggestions I would really appreciate.

This is a reply to # 541,009Hi Elio,
I'm Canadian, born in Lac Megantic, a small town nearby the Vermont border and raised in Sherbrooke city. I might have passed you on the road one day in the past!
Congrats! Getting over brain fog without enemas is a challenge. You have a special sitution that needs to be addressed and just as much as I wish I could tell WHEN I am going to be over with all this cleansing, I can't, even in my case. I just look at the small improevment I achieved, like yours: getting over the brain fog using only oral means. And I keep going, for the next step.
You use mild means: do you use the Bentonite & Psyllium Shake? Or were you advised not to? I currently take then 4 times a day. I honestly think you should not go at this pace, but once or twice a day would be good. THat is if it's mild enough according to your practician.
I've read your posting about the pad, I have no answer but you are on the right track, your skin has a great detox potential. You should try skin brushing. Which consist simply in brushing your skin, dry, every morning, it enhance circulation and gets rid of dead skin tissues and toxin expelled during night time> Read all about it in chapter 8 of Dr. Jensen book online:
//www.curezone.org/books/online/bowel/default.asp
You should use the bath he talks about. I have also used clay bath which he does not mention, great detox practice.
Drink plenty, I have two glasses of juice between meals: 6 a day, followed by the same amount of water (when it's not apple juice) 12 glasses a day. If you can find a shop where they make fresh juice: (I have a juice maker, but I am too lazy, I go to the stand nearby my place and) get one fresh carrot juice a day, it does marvels (followed by the same amount of water).
You really should read Dr. Jensen's book, he says it all from niacin to pectin. Must read, download it or purchase it, it is a fantastic tool. I am reading it now, tks to Shelleycat, and I wish I had read it before.
Also, when you get your result for the hair analysis.
1- keep me posted
2- read my posting below about metal toxicity, I've wrote it thinking about you, meant to share the little I know.
Keep going, you're on the right track!
