Re: DIAGNOSE ME!!! 20yr old female w mixed symptoms!

I think we all may have bits and pieces to the whole picture. Indeed our thoughts and emotions influence our body, but so too does the external and internal chemical composition influence our thoughts and emotions. Many of us have been born to mothers who were malnourished themselves simply due to an array of social and environmental changes/"advancements" in human life: they ate increasingly more processed foods, they took pharmaceuticals, and the food we were given since birth, perhaps even formula milk, was laden with things that have altered and disrupted our body's ability to achieve and maintain homeostasis. As the years go on, we are overstimulated and malnourished. This adds up and sets off a chain reaction of problems and toxins that build up inside that cannot be efficiently eliminated. So if you have hypothyroidism, then maybe Iodine or kelp powder will be helpful. That's one layer. But then you are likely to also have a build-up of heavy metals, Candida, and parasites (and frankly I would argue most of our population does). Underlying all this is likely a magnesium deficiency. But the process of cleansing and detoxing is a tricky one. Eliminating heavy metals (you can try Bentonite Clay or be very careful if you look into Collodial Silver) or killing Candida and parasites all tax the body and the organs that are already struggling such as the kidneys and liver. Trying to replenish nutrients and enzymes, etc. is also tricky because with blockages we can't even absorb them. For example, I believe way too many people are deficient in Magnesium. But many forms of supplementing it allegedly only feed the Candida overgrowth. So it's a delicate line to toe and takes quite a while to peel back each layer. I often have to remind myself and others that we didn't get to this state overnight, so we surely can't heal that fast either. But the body has an amazing capacity to heal and seek homeostasis. It just needs the right support. I don't know if this is helpful to you, but my thoughts are that you, like many of us or at least me, will have to balance cleansing heavy metals, Candida overgrowth, parasites, and past emotional blockages without over taxing our bodies and vital organs, while trying to restore our magnesium, HCL (stomach acid), enzymes, amino acids, and vitamins etc. I use Apple Cider Vinegar before meals for HCL, don't eat any sugar, processed foods, gluten, etc. (my own combo. of the Paleo and Candida diet protocols), yoga (any kind of healthy movement to stimulate lymphatic/immune flow), lots of pure water, lots of varied probiotics (and I'm a big fan of coconut kefir), and alternate between cleansing with antifungals, etc. to restoring with herbal kidney, liver, etc. supplements. I have to continually listen to my body as one day I need 1 thing, and the next something else. Good luck, hang in there, and know that you are not alone! Tweet
