I'd suggest that you not fret over it. Literature available on the internet may suggest and provide you with quite a lot of possibilities. Candidiasis is a very common infection and affects both men and women around the world quite often. I've suffered from varicose veins for quite a while and finally decided to consult a doctor at Vaughan Vein Clinic at Thornhill as a friend had suggested that I do so. After an initial consultation and diagnosis, I was booked right away for an EVLT procedure. I was back at work in less than 2 days! I'd suggest that you un ...

Spider veins have something to do with the Paratyroid gland. Also bile is necessary to absorb the fats you consume and these vitaminks K, Calcium need fat to be absorbed. So when then bile flow is bad you get these spider veins as you get vitamink k and calcium deficiency cause you cannot absorb it. Bile also kills fungus and parasytes, so an overgrowth can ocurr when bile is not present cause of liver and gallblader stones. Spider veins also indicate acidosis, and candida feed on acid forming foods like bread and sugar.   [End]

I also just discovered serious candida overgrowth. Wallaby Organic yogurt (Australian Style)seem to be aggressively attacking them. Especially when used as retention enemas. These pathogens seem to work as a gang. If you have one thing you have a garden variety of things. Example: If you develop yeast,candida or hpylori, it makes your body very attractive for other pathogens to make you their home. The first infection disrupts your body chemistry which makes you prone to diseases instead of health. That’s my take on it. One of my enlarged viens in my arm burst during a treatm ...

Sorry Sharkman, I apologize. Think I was having a bad day. I certainly would not argue with an Elisa test. Our symptoms are certainly very different since I have strongyloides also.

Sharkman, I have read many of your posts and the symptoms you describe don’t sound like strongyloides to me. Strongyloides are known as a silent, and invisible killer--with the exception of rashes from auto-infection If you still have an itchy butt on occasion, you’re not cured.   [End]

I never had scratch marks but multiple paper cuts especially in areas where skin touches other skin groin and perianal area mostly. which were the autoinfect areas for me.

No just random scratch marks some days and rashes. I still breakout heavily (11 years and counting) on my face, scalp, and chest but never where the scratch marks and rashes appear.

Very interesting! What parasites are you infected with to your knowledge. I realize we might not know all of the parasites we have.

Spider veins are familial and are an inherited condition. Bulging veins are varicose veins and are due to the incomplete closing of a mechanism in the vein. They are related to aging. They have absolutely nothing to do with parasites/helminths. You could have done a Google search to find that out of course...   [End]

I guess it depends on what kind you have: Normal veins carry venous blood back to the heart. Inside these veins, one-way valves ensure that blood only travels toward the heart and help equalize the blood pressure along the vein. Faulty veins can lead to a condition of venous insufficiency, which can result in the appearance of enlarged small surface veins (venules) called spider veins. Typically, spider veins appear to have a diameter of 1 millimeter or less, although their actual diameter may be up to 3 mm under the surface. Small varicose veins are usually pinkish red, whereas la ...

pine bark extract and/or grapeseed extract, both internally and topically. both of these have blood building and circulation boosting compounds. you can get cream with pine bark extract in it. i know of one woman who used the internal/topical approach with pine bark successfully to treat spider veins. they are great for your heart and blood health, regardless of how it affects your spider veins.   [End]

I have spider veins which are proving very annoying. Currently on a juice fast and taking herbal mix of japanese pagoda, horse chestnut and butchers broom - supposedly for improving vein conditions. Take some very hot cayenne and ginger in my juices everyday. Apply a cream with vitamin K to close off the vein, again, to no effect. Is there anything anyone can suggest that I might be lacking in nutrient wise, or that I could try to see if it will ameliorate this condition? Run three times a week and exercise around this. Do people think niacin flushing might help? Thanks.   [End]

If you’re doing a cleanse, symptoms like this come up for a while as the body cleanses itself. One of the causes of spider veins mentioned was hormone changes.

Here’s some info from 4 different websites about spider veins. They define spider veins as thin, crooked, reddish or purple lines on the skin. http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_vari.htm Spider veins normally appear on the face, neck, upper arms or thighs and are often characterized by a small round, red spot with tiny red veins radiating outward like a spider’s legs. This condition is known as spider angioma or spider telangiectasia. They are chronically dilated capillaries usually caused by excessive alcohol, medication, or elevated estrogen levels that occur during pregnancy ...
