Re: Elemental diet & candida? CFS/Dying Pt2
Thanks for the reply. Yeah it seems elemental drinks do this to many. How frustrating. I basically can't tolerate any protein foods any more, so i have to have vivonex to live at the moment. But im getting much weaker by the day.
Nutritional IV's - yes been trying to get them for months. I actually did one by myself! I eventually got a Dr to prescribe me the IV vials but wouldnt put it in. It was a bit traumatic because Im not used to putting in IV's. I finally managed it but had a bit of a crash afterwards because I was so exhausted from doing it all myself.
I did feel better for about half a day, but that was it. I really need them like twice a week or something. I tried to get it in hospital last time but they were extremely confused that I would want such high doses of vitamins. They said "Wow! No you'd only require that sort of dose once which would last months!" Did not understand high dose IV C. You must have been better than me to do these things because I can't even leave the house, which makes things extremely hard. The only place I can really go is hospital in an ambulance.
I was having good times late at night, able to go to my mums place which is 1 minute from here in a car and go in there for a while, but Im not having *any* good moments any more, just extreme weakness and toxicity. Its very upsetting.
No way to glutathione or NAC, they make me dreadfully ill. Tried them many times.
Im surely having metal toxicity and wish to God above I had gotten my fillings out years ago. One of them I ground down to nealy nothing (a large
Amalgam rear molar) over the last few years. Im sure swallowing all that dust has not helped anything to say the least.
I've been on 10-15g of glutamine a day for a long time, about a year in fact. No help at all with leaky gut which is suprising really. It may be due to taking cortisone which I need to live, but its very damaging.
Thanks again, ~Chris.
