Could My Multiple Ailments Be Related To Candida

Posted by Kann (Canada) on 11/21/2014

Hello, I am a 29 year old female. I am 5'2 about 120 lbs and for the most part very healthy. I've been on birth control since I was 15 but recently stopped. I exercise, and eat mostly fresh food. I do not believe in eating junk food or fast food of any kind.

When I was 21 I began to have issues with frequent and urgent urination, brain fog and overall did not feel like myself. I went to the Dr. Big mistake. I was prescribed anti depressants and anti anxiety meds because my anxiety was causing the urination problem apparently.

3 years later after taking my medication diligently, I quit. I never once felt better and if anything I felt even more foggy and more depressed. The Dr. told me I needed higher doses so I changed doctors.

I then developed more issues. Pain and bleeding during sex, joint pain, and extreme tiredness.

Every time I go to the doctor all they can tell me is that I have a yeast infection yet I have no discharge or smell what so ever.

I take the yeast infection pills almost monthly and they do help for a short amount of time but then I am miserable again.

My libido is gone, my hair is thinning and nobody can give me a straight answer. I saw a Naturopath doctor last year and he said that candida overgrowth is a controversial myth that he does not believe in. He told me I had malabsorbtion issues and gave me loads of vitamins and probiotics. Nothing helped.

My family doctor now wants to start treating me for Rheumatoid Arthritis and I know that I do not have that.

Is it possible to have candida without discharge? I was also starting a high protein diet for my type 0- blood but now I've read to stay away from red meat to treat candida.

I was also wondering what everyone thinks about colon hydrotherapy. I'm desperate to get my life back.

I also recently had shoulder pain and numbness in my right shoulder. I went the chiropractor which helped a lot. My family Dr. sent me for an MRI because she believed I had a stroke. I did not have a stroke but the MRI showed "high T2 foci signal changes" they now want a follow up every year!

What does this mean? Every doctor just tells me they are spots and probably nothing. But then why the follow ups?

Please help with any advice, I don't know what to do.

I have been to so many doctors through-out Massachusetts and New Hampshire as well as Boston Mass. etc. with what I thought was all types of infections, I was treated for every thing and any thing until my immune system finally gave up.Every thing I do my very best to do has to be natural. First I tracked down my family history(not that important)but I needed to know of any family diseases, my mother an aunt told me there was a virus where one out of twins died from this virus which doctors say that's very rare case. I have watched an listened to families illnesses. What I find is: We live in a wet/damp earth 24/7 we are introduced to wet or moisture, so it causes much damage to our systems, then if we do not dress warm it adds insult to injury. My best friend's doctor told her she had to move to a warmer climate because of condensation causing fungi/ mold etc. It reaks havoc with the system. Try staying away from antibiotics, most any thing anti--- buy probiotics, one is great/ probiotic plus & Cranberry, this is best taken in capsules rather than drinking the cranberry juice because the sugar is reduced, leave all sweets an sugars alone. Another probiotic is Grape Seed Extract, and cats claw. Please do not take these all at once or together.

The rest is up to you. I just about live in health stores, but first do many web searches. Good Luck..

Kann: Candida is a secondary infection allowed by a compromised immune system. There are many pathogenic organisms that invade the human and entire animal kingdom population.

To prevent any occurrence of infection one must keep the body very clean on the inside. Our toxic environment, foods, and water all contribute to weakening the detox & immune system; the endocrine system is also easily affected.

Common detox or cleanses include heavy metals, parasites, and pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and funguses. Gallbladder and colon cleanses are necessary. Here is the E.C. detox page https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/detoxification.html for your perusal. A thorough detox/cleanse could take up to a yr but you will certainly feel much better when it's done. There are many methods so this can be confusing. Just check back here w/ any questions or updates.

Oh, and try not be despondent as your condition is very common, although it's more prevalent in the over 40's or 50's group. Fortunately for some folks, they find the help they need here and other places on the net. It is sad that many healthcare professionals don't provide much success for conditions like this, as your testimony validates.

You can also go to Youtube for help on detox and cleansing. Subscribe to Ihealthtube and will get further enlightened. Many good published books on this subject. Check out Jon Baron's web publications.
