Re: to JV

Hi - I know I am not John, but I think I know what he means. In general, something like steroids are very hard on your body and the immune system - they break it down. More specifically, steroidal meds contribute to candida. That is why many folks on steroidal asthma inhalers develop oral thrush, and I am sure my use of steroidal Flovent for asthma contributed to a candida growth in the lungs, as well as white patch on tongue. And in fact, the reason I needed something for asthma in the first place was because candida was wreaking havoc in my lungs, mainly due to leaky gut, so you see, you can go around in circles with western meds. Western medicine practices are great for crisis intervention, but not for building health.

Traditional western meds mask symptoms - never do they offer true health and rarely do they ever "cure" stuff. Often the masking of one symptom causes others to "pop out the other side" so to speak, because it is not eliminating the problem, just hiding it. It wil almost always surface somewhere else, perhaps in a somewhat different form. So, then you think you have a "new" thing, so Dr. patches that up, then 2 months down the road, a side effect of that med will cause another symptom, so doc gives something else to squash that. It is a brutal circle. Tweet
