(EDIT) Re: Adrenal Fatigue and Water Fasting
Hello Hollith,
With regard to Adrenal fatigue and Candida overgrowth.
From the account you have given us you will need to resolve your metabolic health problems, but at the same time to also resolve your Candida. Adrenal fatigue is symptomatic of an overall failing endocrine system and where the good news is that BOTH Candida and Metabolic disorders such as adrenal fatigue, can be permanently overcome via
Water Fasting according to thirst.
I think the first course of action would be to eradicate the Candida, as unless this is resolved first, the other health problems you have outlined will not be.
Keep in mind, that you can never totally get rid of Candida. It is present in everyone...always. What you need to do is shut down Candida OVERGROWTH.....to push it back to normal levels......and build up your immune system so that it stays there and prevents further overgrowth. Candida can become infectious in people with compromised/weakened immune systems.
A
Water Fast according to thirst will sterilize your digestive tract within 7 to 10 days and which will be the first step, but I would continue with this fast for up to at least 15 days if at all possible to achieve the maximum cleansing: the reference to your vomiting and your inability to hold down any foods, AND your acid reflux are signals by your body that it cannot cope with external sources of nutrition; these are are also powerful signals from your body that it needs to feed from internal sources (Fasting) and therefore rest your vital machinery, while at the same time healing and cleansing your body for renewed nourishment after the fast is broken. Nothing but nothing will correct metabolic disorders such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and other endocrinal and other metabolic disorders than a
Water Fast according to thirst. This will be the first step, but lifestyle changes including diet will be equally important.
Once you begin to realize that the body is a self-regulating, self-repairing, and self-maintaining organism, given the ideal circumstances and conditions, by allowing the enormous energies needed for digestion to be utilized elsewhere within the body for healing and cleansing, then you should see what I really mean.
Candida will thrive on alcohol & sugars and therefore the breaking of your fast on juices (not fruit juices) should be as free form sugars as possible but where a compromise may be with organic carrot juice and other non-starchy or slightly starchy vegetable juices; then follow these guidelines to the letter................

The fast will go a long way in restoring your metabolic processes and help return the endocrine system to normal but, and just as importantly the adrenal glands can be restored to optimum health naturally by adhering to healthy living principals: proper rest & ample sleep, full body sunlight-exposure, fresh air, and targeted nutritional supplements, together with at least an 80% raw food organic diet, and removal of stressors, are KEY components to adrenal fatigue recovery.
I would advise you to seek out the services of an Orthomolecular Physician or Nutritional Medicine Practitioner who is best able to advise you re' supplementation which will be vital for accelerating your recovery.
More importantly a change in lifestyle mentioned earlier will reap HUGE rewards for your health, and build your immune system to a point where metabolic disorders will become a thing of the past, and your Candida will remain in check and under control.
(EDIT)
I forgot to include this webpage from my archives by Dr David Klein and which I should have touched on earlier in this post..............scroll down in this interview and you will discover why fruit isn't as harmful for Candida as most health professionals would have you believe.
The key with ANY digestive problem and which I have always referred to in my previous posts is to COMBINE YOUR FOODS CORRECTLY.
