Re: Dr. Roby Mitchell's testimonial re yeast overgrowth & electrodine
hey, I got lyme disease two years ago, caught it late, so by the time I treated it it had progressed and I wound up doing 13 months of intravenous
Antibiotics . Needless to say, i had terrible candida. I guess it was the 'typical' kind--brain fog 24 hours a day, high distractibility, inability to eat anything vaguely starchy--even starchy veggies--without feeling sleepy, and without bloating up like a balloon. Diarrhea, irritable bowel, psoriasis, never seen my scalp so dry, lots of sudden gray & white hairs (coincident with the candida) and itchy skin; itchy eyes; puffed out face, puffy body, terrible craving for sweets.
I did everything I could and everything my integrative and naturopathic docs could think of to fight it: I went through 10 sets of 10-tab each diflucan. It always helped but the candida always returned. I maintained a candida diet for 6 months straight, no processed foods, no starches, no caffeine or alcohol whatsoever, I got a
Water Ionizer so as to have alkaline water, I drank wheatgrass every other day, drank green juices, ate only vegetables and nuts, switched to raw foods, bought a couple thousand dollars worth of supplements, slow-release oregano tabs (ADP)
Colloidal Silver (MSP research, which my nutritionist swears is the only safe one), garlic pills, raw garlic (i ate 7 cloves at a time, crushed) monolaurin, coconut oil, grapefruit seed extract, caprilic acid, Candex, OxyMag, Septinol, I took expensive refrigerated probiotics everynight, 50 billion caps, I got 12 colonics, I went on a regimen of plant stem cells, I took herbal antifungals (rainforest naturals) I tried amphotericin B, I did sugarfree cholestramine, I did detox IVs and Bi-Carb IV's, this is not even half of it, I went to therapy, I got a Valkion box (more accessible oxygen) a tens machine, ionic foot baths, i spent my book advance, my retirement savings, etc etc, in short nothing worked. Or that is, many things helped somewhat but nothing got rid of candida.
Until iosol iodine. I knew about
Iodine b/c I had naturopathic docs. The first thing she did when she saw me for lyme was put me on iodoral. So I had already done 8 months of 4 tab a day iodoral, with 1 tsp per day celtic
Sea Salt . I'd stopped the iodoral after that for a while, then, a few months back, started it up again just for fun. No affect on Candida. But recently I was researching
Iodine for a friend with fibroids, and read about how Dr. Myers used iosoal
Iodine or else lugol's, painted on women's vaginas, to cure fibrosis in breasts. I was frusterated and it inspired me, so I grabbed a bottle of iosol iodine I had sitting around from way back over a year ago, when I'd bought it for lyme, as an experiment. I'd used it for a week or so and then abandoned it as it didn't end lyme woes. But after reading about Dr. Myers curing all the woman of their breasts cysts I grabbed it and squirted a dropperful of the iosol iodine on my stomach and rubbed it all over my tummy. I also splashed maybe 5 drops into a cup of water and drank that for good measure. Maybe rash but I'm stupid sometimes.
The next morning I pooed out 4 or 5 yellow to cream colored pods of yeast. I hadn't even known yeast came in pods. But I was pretty sure that was what it was and I googled it and looked at it online and that's what it was. SInce then I've been able to eat without bloating up. I've rushed things and started eating dehydrated organic bananas by the pound a bit too soon, but I'm pretty sure iosal iodine is the cure for candida. at least for me. I can think much more clearly. I dabbed some iosol on my temples and at the base of my neck. At first I rubbed iosol over my whole face one night, and the next morning I had a headache and puffy eyes. Too much too fast I guess. I think my head was full of yeast. But today and yesterday I went slower, just a dot here a dot there, at the temples, base of head, crown, etc; I've been rubbing a dropper full of iosol on my tummy every other night or so. I pooed out yeast pods for the first few days. Now I don't. I think I'm much better. If I can stop eating dehydrated bananas i'll have it totally kicked in no time. it's really amazing. Am doing brazil nuts for selenium, high quality celtic salt, lots of lemons and limes for vitamin C, I want to get some magnesium oil for magnesium, right now I have "natural calm."
But anyway, in response to your post, and re: Dr. Roby's Mitchell's post re: Electrodine: Wombat is right. The thyroid needs iodide. Ie, lugol's, or iodoral. Me, I think my absorption was so poor, that that 8 months of iodoral (the pill form of lugol's) didn't actually do much. And lugol's, I ordered some, and will use for thyroid, but
Lugol's is potassium iodide. I think Iosal, which is mostly iodine, is the best form of iodine for candida, and also for uterine fibroids and for breast fibroids. I read that the reproductive system and the stomach need iodine. That is what Iosal iodine is. It is much less concentrated than lugol's, so less irritating to skin; but it is more absorbable and bioavailable, so as or more effective. It won't burn your skin at all. I've rubbed it on my ... ok i hate to say the word... and no bad reaction. I think anyone could do the tampon douche with iosol and they'd be fine. Or rub the iosal on their tummy, on their inner wrists, where-ever.
Also bare in mind that if someone who's iodine deficient takes iodine orally, the thyroid will grab it before any other part of the body can get to it. So to deliver iodine to one's stomach, or to one's breast or uterus, one must bypass the thyroid by applying the iodine transdermally to the stomach or ---ok, vagina.
anyway i don't know if it works for everyone but for me iodoral kicked the candida and i could die from relief. No one should have to live with candida. i'm never taking another
Antibiotic for as long as i live!
