Pumpkin seeds and strange symptoms
Hi all
This is the first time I've posted in this forum but am beginning to supspect more and more that
parasites are the root of my problems.
A brief history: I'm 28, have suffered from candia for 13+ years. Been on and off the diet constantly, taken tonnes of antifungals and various other supplements and still the candida persists. I'm 5 foot 4 and weigh eight stones. I was in Africa approx. 16 years ago, for few months. (I was also born there but now live in the UK). Doesn't seem to matter how many times I go on the diet, the candida returns. Do you think
parasites may be the main issue? I suffer from 'itchy butt' syndrome a lot!
Recently I've been eating these cereal bars containing pumpkin seeds. This week I started to feel really ill - very nauseous and generally awful. The other night, not long after eating one of these cereal bars, I got a really itchy bottom lip and all these blisters started appearing there. When squeezed (sorry!) they produce a clear liquid and itch/burn like hell. Could this be a die-off effect? I've eaten pumpkin seeds in the past and felt just as awful, but heard they were anti-parasitical and tried to keep going.
I've just bought a large bottle of
Grapefruit-Seed-Extract to help. I also take garlic, MSM, aloe vera juice, probiotics, vitamins and minerals.
Thank you loads for any input!
