Re: What I learned from the great candida debate

Funny thread xD
lol I could answer half a question: ​Did Iodine cure Stalagmight and Username?

I can't speak for username (or if she even has/had a candida overgrowth problem) but I'm definitely not cured yet.

I tried nystatin and it worked for a couple of days but the candida came back even stronger. I'm pretty much trying Lugols again out of sheer desperation lol

Right now, I'm taking 100 mcg of l-selenomethionine a day and painting with lugols. I'm still wary of drinking it after the scary experience I had. I haven't seen any results so far except a sore throat every time I take selenium. I'm also burning under the sun (which has never happened before; my skin type had always allowed me to get darker rather than just burn) and my skin started peeling despite not having put any Lugols on my arms. I'm guessing the selenium is causing me to burn easily since I didn't have this problem when I took Lugols on its own.

Since my diet consists of plenty of seafood, I could be overdosing on selenium. Probably Iodine too, even though people on the Iodine forum make it sound like it's impossible to get too much iodine... Tweet
