Hi Sick of Hives and everybody at Cure Zone. I wanted to attach a link for this woman's post below--post by Sophie 19), that I found when I searched the Candida Forum for "mold allergy," but don't know how to attach the link to her post, so I cut & pasted it instead. SOH--I feel your pain as I get hives too (and I believe they are from consuming foods with mold) and I can releate to all of you battling this. It sucks for sure, but I remain hopeful for all of us to recover and enjoy good health again soon.

I'm going to try Lugol's as suggested by Sophie 19 in her post as well follow recommendations for eating at
http://www.regaininghealthnaturally.com.
The woman on regaininghealthnaturally website speaks of pushing out bad yeast with good yeast(on the premise of like cures like--good yeast push out bad yeast, and good bacteria push out bad bacteria). Something worth researching. I know that when I have gone on Antibiotics , my ND put me on sachromyces boulardi, a nonpathenogenic yeast that would help keep the candida yeast from further getting a foothold (I already was over-run with it but had to be treated for a parasite (entoamoeba hystolitica) with Antibiotics .) I'm thinking: 1) Lugol's to sanitize intestines, then replenish with good yeast/bacteria to re-innoculate (the good yeast thing is still a maybe in my head at this point), along with "sweeping" the intestines with nonsoluable fiber (I just ordered (and have used before and am going back to it) from allergy research group their cellulose intestinal cleanser (no psyllium) and 100% nonsoluable fiber (I have read that nonsoluable fiber helps heal leaky gut, more so that soluable fiber, which can actually work in reverse) and I also ordered a product called ButrEn from Allergy research group--contains butyric acids--a key component to repair/integrity of the lining of the small intestines (glutamine (free form amino acid) is excellent too, but combined with butyric acid would be the best).

I have also purchased a zapper from parazapper and am going to zap daily for about 45 days and do some Liver Cleanses and adhere to low mold diet (the candida has made me allergic to mold).

I realize this post came out as a stream of consciousness and apologize. I am at work and the pile on my desk is stacking up as I write this.

Post by Sophie19:


I have seen a lot of posters recently asking about Iodine and treatment for candida so I thought I would post this site I came across yesterday.



http://www.regaininghealthnaturally.com/Food_as_Medicine/Carbohydrates_Candid...



The reason I am posting this is to TRY and help a lot of those who are treating themselves for candida. I wish I would've found this site two years ago before I completely destroyed my digestion!! I took Antibiotics for a year and a half and have been on an anti-candida diet for two years now (only to get worse and worse and worse as more time passed). And the website above describes EXACTLY how I got worse to an absolute "T." So if you are new to candida treatment, I thought I would try and save you from the candida boards (no offense to anyone please) and how much advice you will get on being EXCRUTIATINGLY strict on your diet and not to touch a single whole grain or piece of fruit! As I said, I did that for almost two years now and my allergies got so bad I was down to eating just about 5 foods (until recently! there is hope! get yourself some iodine!! I will explain more about this below...just keep reading :)). The website above explains EXACTLY how my allergies got WORSE!!!:

"If you keep eliminating foods from your menu as you become more and more compromised/allergic you will just get less and less nutrients, you will likely become weaker and weaker, and the pathogens will grow stronger and stronger. People who do this wake up one day realizing there is so little they can eat and that they are so health compromised. It is too difficult for them to see their way to regaining their health. The longer you let this downward spiral go, the harder it will be to recover."

This is just one little statement that sums up what happened to me but there are SO many important facts on this site. Trust me...I spent a year on the candida boards on and off and I was NOT getting better. The only thing I really disagree with on the site is the necessity of taking probiotics. I am getting SOOOO much better and I have not touched a probiotic. They are a TOTAL waste of money in my opinion but many feel the need to take them so I am not gonna argue there. Just speaking from my own experience, I found them to be completely useless and a huge scam.

Anyhow this leads me to IODINE. YES YES YES I truly feel Iodine will help rid you all of candida problems if you have them...and Iodine has helped rid me of many of my food sensitivities so I was actually able to start digesting and adding fruits and whole grains back into my diet. and I am now FINALLY able to stop eating slabs of meat for breakfast lunch and dinner (which by the way was completely destroying my digestion!). I just really wanted to make my point that whole grains and fruits are sooooooooooo important for the health of the digestive tract and DO NOT be afraid to eat them if you have candida and you can tolerate them. and if you can't tolerate or digest them, get yourself on some iodine and i can guarantee your digestion will be one of the FIRST things that starts to heal so you CAN eat foods like that again.

PLEASE if you are treating yourself for candida READ the entire site (posted above). It will only take you ten minutes and it is SERIOUSLY worth reading. I literally went from having 1 - 2 bowel movements a week to two per day all on my own now! And this is a combination of iodine healing my digestion, and the introduction of whole grains and fruits back into my diet. PLEASE PEOPLE! You DO NOT have to live off of protein to beat candida...it ain't good for ya and in most cases it won't work!! :)
