Re: Leaky Gut, Candida,..my story..please help me.
Hello there.
I know exactly how you feel. I have been struggling with health issues for years. I have had fibromyalgia,
food allergies and eczema most of my life but twelve years ago, after a miscarriage,
Amalgam replacement,a skin infection (and tons of
Antibiotics ) and horribly stressful life situation, I developed chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivities ( perfumes, tap water, any chemicals, smoke - you name it) and
food intolerances .I was bloated, brain fogged- couldn't read either, depressed, slightly mental and desperate. I went through the usual rounds with the doctors and was offered the contraception pill and prozac - thanks Doc. I refused both and spent the next ten years avoiding chemicals and most foods, eating only organic and unprocessed.This, I think detoxed me somewhat. I went to see an osteopath who treated me for metal toxicity with supplements and that helped me feel less poisoned but then I developed a problem taking the supplements. If I eat foods that don't agree with me I have major anxiety attacks. Milk makes me suicidal.
I tried acupuncture and cranio sacral therapy which didn't do much.
Two years ago I went to see a microscopist who told me I had systemic candida and so I went on an anti candida diet cutting out grains - I had already eliminated fruit,
Sugar etc years before.I took oregano oil, raw garlic and coconut oil and drank pau d'arco tea. Within one month the brain fogstarted to lift and I began to lose weight.
Things improved very slowly until three months ago I decided I really had had enough of the whole thing and went more extreme with my treatment. I went on a colon cleanse which involved five days without food taking digestive stimulants and psyllium husk/bentonite clay/apple juice shakes. I then went on
The Master Cleanse for four weeks which was tough.
After
The Master Cleanse my chemical sensitivities are improved by about 85% - I don't get sick and have raging anger at one sniff of perfume anymore. I can tolerate more foods. My fibromyalgia is down to 10% of what it used to be. I have started to get back my memory which had disappeared. I have much much more energy ( I used to crash by seven o clock each evening). I am no longer bloated. I still have to treat the candida though - if I have fruit, I get symptoms.
I researched leaky gut and knew that was me.
I tried
Liver Flushes and using cilantro tincture with chlorella to detox mercury a month ago but this was to hard on my body so at the moment I am concentrating on healing my leaky gut with l glutamine and fermented foods to replace good bacteria and treating the candida.I eat 70% raw foods and chew thoroughly and I try to be very kind to my digestion. I also had a hiatus hernia and have a technique for popping it back in given to me by an osteopath. If it pops back out I experience anxiety attacks.
My success over the last three months has given me hope that very soon I will be a well person - I wonder how that will feel. I have spent years in despair over this but I know now that everyone can heal if they find the right treatment for themselves individually. Looking back, knowing what I know now, I would have done the
Colon Cleanse at the same time as starting the candida protocol. Then I would have done
The Master Cleanse which is a detox and healing cleanse when I felt stronger .
I hope my story helps you and isn't too long( I know how bad that brain fog is).
Good luck,
