Re: Asthma & Candida
What has me confused and where im starting to piece things together is, I was a sickly kid and as a young child in the 80s, I was always given shots of
Antibiotics with pills to follow up on for everythibg from colds to sore throats. The asthma hit around 8 yrs old and was triggered by a friends dog and cat.. but mine is the chronic bronchitis kind with a ton of mucous. I just accepted it and over time developed more allergies, but was otherwise healthy or so I thought) and on the thin side and look a lot younger... people think that i am my almost 18 year old son's gf and i get carded to buy rated R movie tickets. I never though of candida because I had one vaginal YI as an adult and that was after taking
Antibiotics after my c section in 1996 (i was 16) and nevet had one again... but looking back to ages 4-9... my girl parts were insanely itchy as a child and i would even squeeze diaper rash cream on it myself and would get in trouble for making a mess... so this started way back in like, 1984 or sooner. Other than bronchitis that I typically just let go, I haven't had any problems.
Fast forward to June this year... my youngest 2 (5 and 8) myself and their dad went to an amusement park for a home school kids trip. Everyone got sick after eating and spending the day there... my 8 year old was the worst. A month later and an ER trip uncovered it was a parasite. So the whole family treated with meds, everyone recovered quickly but I got worse. It spread from my intestines to my lungs... not sure if that was hyperinfection because thats the natural cycle of some parasites.. but I was a mess. It took multiple rounds of meds and now I think I finally have it beat.. but I uncovered some horrifying things that were not parasites. The amount of candida that was killed off from the meds was astronimical and the mysterious ropes i believe was lymph tissue from a combo of junk my body made due to a toxic body and irritation in there.. i didnt not take any cleanse stuff, only pharma meds and water... the mucoid plaque from cleanses and ropes are very different... at this point i am not going to obsess over them because everyone has them and all for different reasons. but I've noticed that since taking the meds, my lungs have cleared up a ton! I just had regular chronic bronchitis when the
parasite started and when it spread, I thought I was going to die because it was ripping pain .. but now my lungs feel clearer than they did prior to the infection this summer. That makes me think my asthma and lung issues are candida related. Those meds will stop anything in your body from absorbing sugar, thats how it kills parasites, so it also starves out candida. I saw more candida and intestinal junk than anything else. That whole time I had no idea.. not a single sign of yeast.. i blamed asthma on allergies and accepted it was just something people get. So, now i am fairly sure that if I start boosting my immune system, stop feeding the yeast and attack it, I might kick this asthma.
The only thing that confuses me is, everyone describes candida as a dry cough.. mine has improved a lot, but there is still a ton of mucous that points towards bronchitis. SOMETHING all these years is making my lungs produce excess mucous... is that candida too? I haven't coughed up anything weird looking... its hard to cough up too.. like a cat with a hair ball lol it kinda just rattles around inside there.
I do have the
Iodine but didn't start it yet. I wanted to do a week on the cosupplements first. My thyroid tests are always one point below the max level for normal for hypothyroid.. which is weird because I'm about 15
pounds UNDER weight, but my diet sucked so I think thats why.
But anyway, are you saying to skip
Lugols and go right for
SSKI ? I was gonna go balls out and go right for the 100mg of
Lugols instead of working my way up. I can deal with detox and die off... as long as it's not going to cause anything that would mimick a heart attack... I panick easy. The sick feeling and cramps I can deal with.
Thanks so much for the info!
