Re: CAUTION: PLEASE READ..... I'M CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR MOM.

Hello! It is wonderful that your mother has reached a nice age of 90!! THAT is inspiring to me (36 years old) and makes me feel good. I am so sorry your Mom is suffering from this. It is a horrible thing to have to deal with.
NOW....... I just want to say that I am suffering HORRIBLY from candida and I am trying to heal myself with some probiotics.
Most everyone here is VERY VERY informative and VERY helpful and supportive about the various products. My ONLY concern is that with your Mother being the age that she is, I would HIGHLY suggest that what ever treatment you deside to go with that you go VERY VERY slow.
Die off can be Very harsh and sever to a normal younger healthier person, so the one thing you wouldn't want to do is have her health become at jeopardy due to very heavy die off. Let her body adjust to what ever she is taking.
EXAMPLE: My personal experience is that the girl at the health food store gave my hubby a bottle of Candate and a bottle of EXTRA strenght Acidophillus and a bottle of Grapfruit Seed Extract (GSE) Now.... I was told that the Candate had NO DIE off and was gentler than the Acidophillus. She wanted me to take 2 candate pills in the morning and 2 at night. Then to add to that, 2 acidophillus pills in the morning and 2 at night and then to gargle with 3 drops of Grapefruit-Seed-Extract in the morning and night and to DRINK 5 DROPS of Grapefruit-Seed-Extract in a HUGE mug of water!!!!!!!!!
WELL...... LET ME TELL YOU.... I was so scared that I only took 1 CANDATE pill and gargled with 1 drop of Grapefruit-Seed-Extract (THANK GOD) and a few hours later........ I thought I was going to die! I felt DRUGGED out, had no control, my heart raced off the charts, my eyes bugged out and vision was a MESS, I had bad diahrea and it was a HORRIBLE scene I shook so perfusly and chattered my teeth (nearly broke them out of my mouth) that my hubby had to hold me and my neighbor (who is a nurse) thought I'd bite my tongue off!.
Now what I do is break open a capsil (1) and put a 1/4 in some yoguart ONCE a day, and gargle with 1 drop of GSE a day in a HUGE 16 oz mug. So far I'm still haveing die off but it is milder and the die off isn't nearly as harsh.
I'm just worried about your Mom. Sounds like she is great otherewise and I wouldn't want to hear that she is suffering worse from the treatments although I do highly recommend you try something however small, to help her get better. Any thing you do at all for her is better than not doing. So bettering the diet and doing maybe a little probiotics would be a safe bet.
Good luck to you and her and please keep us posted! :) Tweet
