Results with candida: how long it took
Hi, Lajoanna!
I started off with a bang, didn't listen to Mreless and others abt taking things gradually. Pretty strong alk drink made with what I had, cal max instead of pickling lime. Also started oil pulling at same time. This forced my pH into the alialine range, and killed the candida WITHOUT DIEOFF SYMPTOMS!
By end of first day, following observations, which may be related to long-standing candida imbalance resolving:
OFF AND ON THICK WHITE SNOT LIKE RUBBER CEMENT IN AFTERNOON AND EVENING, OCCASIONAL BOUTS OF SINUSES FILLING AND CLEARING, BRIEF EPECTORATION OF PHLEM FROM DEEP IN BRONCHAE OR UPPER LUNGS. MILD PAIN IN LIVER/GALLBLADDER AREA....VERY DRY BLURY EYES ON WAKING.
By morning of second and third days, passed very strange sheetlike substance in urine first thing in morn. Very likely dieoff material.
Used an ES, H2O2 detox bath first, followed by the one with pickling lime at the askmoreless.com site. Then added baking soda to the ES bath as ML recommends. Also used the ACV and H2O2 sprays. I am sure that these helped my skin very much.
During following month, skin under breasts, in creases of groin area, betweem toes, and on heels cleared up. Also, body temp stabilised, indicating interior healing of thyroid, adrenals, other endocrine glands, general metabolism. Digestion improved, regular, no gas, poo like putty w/o undigeted hunks of food, no alternating constipation and trotts!
During this time I also gradually switched from a high meat protein and scant low glycemic index veg diet to abt 2-3 oz chicken a day, abt 1/2 C either/or cooked beans, goat yogurt, highly alkaline greens such as broccoli, kale, beet greens, dandelion, and introduced japanese/Okinawan sweet potatoes and winter squash.
As the spring season progressed, was able to introduce seasonally availabe veg such as asparagus, and seasonal fruit, especially fresh cherries and apricots. [It had been years since I had been able to eat fruit daily w/o a flareup!]
Became pretty symptom-free, pain-free and consistently high energy within that first month.
Have had a few setbacks and fine tuning to resolve which are mentioned in some of my past posts, but have recovered nicely with the alkalizing diet, drinks and baths. No longer living in fear of candida out of control wreaking havoc in my life!
Hope this is helpful and not TMI!
