Re: Help Needed For Teenage Daughter! I am confused.
Man this forum is the blind leading the blind.
Spit test? Really?! The spit test is not a reliable way to diagnosis candida. Why is everything that doesn't have a name considered candida on Curezone?
I didn't read all the replies but has anyone mentioned lupus? Sounds like she has a lot of symptoms of it.
Candida is a normal part of everyone's body; its only when it over-grows that it becomes a true issue. You don't "kill" candida, you get rid of the low immunity so it doesn't over-grow.
Depriving the body of its primary fuel source (glucose by way of carbs) will only make things worse.
I can hear the naysayers say "well when your low carb protein gets used as glucose." Yes but no where as efficiently as carbs. What is protein's primary job? To rebuild and repair.
Do not put your young daughter on this quack diet.
I'll leave you with this: If low-carb (no carb) high protein, high fat actually worked to alleviate a candida over-growth, why is it that so many members here have been on this very diet for YEARS and haven't gotten better?
Study physiology, understand how the body works instead of relying on people who have no business diagnosis people over the internet, and it will lead you in the right direction.
I know this post will get flamed by all the members here, but I wrote it in this fashion to help you and your daughter. PM me and I can point you in the right direction.
No need to waste money on tons of supplements, holistic docs who will guess or most of the members here who have been "sick" for years.
