detoxing?

[Doodle]

I have been attacking my candida with supplements, and recently started taking primal defence... well, I dunno if this is a full on sign of it working, but i sure am detoxing! I have pimples phlegminess, heaadaches, and extreme exhaustion... it said on the blurb that I could feel "flu like" but I poo-pooed the idea, thinking it would be nothing compared to the initial LC detox... but WHOA.. this is really something. What do y'all think?

ACCORDING TO A LOT OF WHAT I READ AND HEARD, YOU SEEM TO BE EXPERIENCING "DIE OFF". APPARENTLY, THE CANDIDA DOESN'T LIKE GOING WITHOUT A FIGHT, SO YOU FEEL 10 TIMES WORSE BEFORE YOU GET BETTER. OH JOY :(

POOR YOU, HOW AWFUL! WHAT IS THIS STUFF YOU ARE TAKING? THE ONLY SPECIFICALLY-FOR-CANDIDA SUPPLEMENT I HAVE SEEN (AT HOLLAND & BARRETT), CALLED "YEAST RAIDERS" HAS ACIDOPHILLUS AS WELL AS AN ANTI-FUNGAL IN IT, SO GUESS WHAT HAPPENS? MY "COLONIC HYDROTHERAPIST" WOMAN TOLD ME THAT THE ANTI-FUNGAL (CAPRYLIC ACID) KILLS THE ACIDOPHILUS. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? *AND* IT COSTS £17 FOR A MONTH'S SUPPLY! THANK GOODNESS I WAS TOO MEAN TO BUY IT! ;)

I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER *SOON* :there:

yeah, I have wondered about the caprylic acid killing pro-biotics thing too... I wonder will anyone else be able to shine some light on this for us. In the mean time, I am just going to act like the drama queen I am, and moan and groan on the sofa and make my husband run around in circles for me ;) .

HUSBANDS ARE HANDY THINGS TO HAVE AROUND, AREN'T THEY? ;)

I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE INFORMATION ON ALL OF THIS. I WANT *RID* OF THE CANDIDA, *NOW*! CALL ME LAZY, BUT THE M.S. REALLY *IS* ENOUGH FUN FOR ME TO HANDLE :lol:

WELL, IT'S 11 A.M.; I GUESS IT'S JUST ABOUT BREAKFAST TIME :D

WELL, TODAY IT IS A REAL "AMERICAN'S BREAKFAST". NO, NOT THE WHOLE WORKS, BUT 200 GMS. OF TOFU, BLENDED WITH 2TSPS. EQUIVALENT OF SWEET-N-LO (AMERICAN GRANULATED SWEETER-NO ASPARTAME), A GOOD DOLLOP OF ATKINS MAPLE SYRUP (ORDERED WHEN I WAS ON HOLIDAY OVER THERE-CONSITENCY OF WATER, BUT WHAT THE HELL? IT HAS NO CARBOS AND NO CALORIES) AND A WEE BIT OF CREAM TO SMOOTH IT OUT. IT'S LOVELY, BUT I'M GOING TO CRY WHEN THE ATKINS SYRUP RUNS OUT, WHICH WILL BE SOON :tears:

BREAKFAST IS A TRIAL TO ME. I'D RATHER SKIP IT, BUT THEN I JUST EAT MORE THE REST OF THE DAY, SO I MIGHT AS WELL.

I NEED TO WIN THE LOTTO SO I CAN AFFORD ALL THIS EXPENSIVE AMERICAN STUFF. IF I'D KNOWN I WAS GOING TO FIND SUCH A GOOD USE FOR THE MAPLE SYRUP I'D HAVE BROUGHT MORE HOME!

I NEED TO SEE IF I CAN FIND SOME MAPLE FLAVOURING OR OTHER GOOD ONES. I HAVEN'T TRIED VANILLA ESSENCE IN IT YET, THOUGH IT MIGHT WELL BE LOVELY. I WONDER IF A SPOON OF COFFEE MIGHT BE ALRIGHT...*ANYTHING* TO MAKE THE TOFU MORE PALATABLE! ;)

FOR BREAKFAST, I USED TO EAT SHREDDED WHEAT WITH SOYA MILK AND A PIECE OF BUTTERED TOAST. IT WASN'T EXCITING BUT I LOVED IT. ALL THOSE LOVELY CARBOS! :daze:

I MEANT TO ASK, WHAT IS IN THIS "PRIMAL DEFENCE" STUFF, AND WHERE DO YOU GET IT?

YOU AND I REALLY NEED TO MOVE TO THE SOUTH OF ENGLAND, OR THE STATES; BETWEEN THE TWO PLACES, THEY SEEM TO HAVE EVERYTHING ;) I AM ASSUMING IRELAND IS ABOUT AS LC FRIENDLY AS THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND. AM I BLASPHEMING, OR IS THAT ABOUT RIGHT?
