Angelofeventide...thanks for posting your experience!

I just wanted to post back as well since I haven't much since I started working with the Hotze Clinic in Houston. You mentioned you will be on 3 months of Nystatin...I am literally finishing my 3 mos. up this week! I feel so much better and stronger. Seeing that doc was the best investment we ever made. Yes, I said investment. :) It's not covered by insurance but when you get so severely sick you just want to die...paying out of pocket for care that REALLY addresses your issues is priceless.

I NEVER thought I would be one to follow a healthier eating plan. WHAT? You want me to not eat that yummy bread the restaurant brings before dinner? WHAT? You want me to cut out sodas? My first 30 days of no sugar/no yeast was a real turning point for me health wise. I started reading Mike Adam's website...www.healthranger.com and then went over to his news site...www.newstarget.com and literally read every single article he's ever posted or written. I began to make my own connections related to my health.

I went to the Hotze Clinic with the following complaints....candida, insomnia, no energy, severe, severe hormone imbalance - female and thyroid...I even told them I felt like my body was slowly dying...my body wasn't absoring nutrients (no matter how healthy I ate) but I gained 85 pounds in 2.5 years! OH...I also have PCOS, I don't ovulate and I have insulin resistance.

In the 3 months since seeing them...my cycles got normal for the first time in YEARS, no more brown bleeding, I was able to wear high heels the first week with NO FOOT PAIN! (I know that sounds minor...but for a woman like me, it makes me feel feminine!), One month in, I was able to jump out of bed normally - NO SNOOZING!!! The brain fog has significantly decreased but every once in a while, it's there...I am still unbalanced with my hormones, but we will get to the dose eventually. I have lost at least 15 pounds so far eating no sugar/no yeast. I have lost 4 pant sizes and even bought new workout pants in a smaller size this weekend. When I eat that way, I don't get tired after meals, I don't get bloated and sick like my hubby does (eats poorly). AND...my favorite thing of all...I FINALLY have the CAPACITY to work out again!!!! I have been going to the gym the past week....ahh...I missed it so.

Here are some of my blood tests so you can see where I started and where I was at my first follow up 2 months into this: (PCOSers have horrible scores!)

Total cholesterol
199 (was 251) under 200 is good

HDL (good) (cardio will make this number higher)
41 (was 32) want it over 50

LDL (bad)
133 (was 170) want it less than 99

Triglycerides
123 (was 245) want it less than 149

Free T4
1.83 (was .85) normal is 0.9-2.0

Vit D
41.4 (was 15.4) want it between 50-100

I am on armour thyroid and 4 other natural bio-identical hormones (my body doesn't make it's own hormones anymore...hope it will correct itself!). Good news...I actually today am decreasing my thyroid med for the second time! (thanks to Iodine forum on curezone)!

Hope this helps someone...either Hotze Clinic or a ND in your area may be able to help you. My tongue is FINALLY this week PINK AGAIN!!!! WOOHOOO!!! I will do my best never to let myself get that sick again....

knowledge is power. :)
