In September 09 , I fell ill suddenly and was brought to hospital. I experienced a severe blotchy, raised rash on my arms, legs and stomach. I had an extremely high temperature, low blood pressure, a urinary tract infection, severe joint pain to the point I couldn’t move my arms or legs at some stages, swelling of my joints, strep-throat, complete loss of appetite and abdominal pain.
I spent 3 weeks in hospital where the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me and carried out test after test, giving me all sorts of medication that only made the condition worse. As I was let home, the sickness persisted and I was housebound for a month afterwards . Eventually when I was sick and tired of getting no results from doctors treatment, I went to the integrated center of medicine in Naas, Dublin. There having undergone some tests , the doctor was able to tell me I had leaky gut syndrome and a very bad candida infection in my blood.
I was given a candida diet plan that wasn’t easy to follow, but eventually I was back to my self. Its been a year now and I’m worried the candida never went away, I’m always really tired , lacking energy, no concentration , bloated and have a bad case of thrush that won’t clear up and is causing me pain. I’m a bit worried at this stage because it’s been going on for a long time and I feel going to the doctors is no use because they don’t seem to be able to treat it. Is there any answers to my problem? I’m desperate.

Yes, Sarah it sounds like the Candida infection is back. Unfortunately some people are very susceptible to Candida and have follow a stricter diet all the time. You have to figure out at which level the diet needs to be maintained…Some of the programs that I’ve reviewed here are quite good and many have found relief with them. Anyway start taking some of the recommended herbs and beginning following a Candida eliminating diet. Thanks for sharing and all the best in regaining your health!
Sarah here’s some quick advice for you that you may not be aware of(I’m sorry I don’t have time to elaborate on them, you will have to google it):
1: Make your own kefir and when you get excess kefir grains that grow – eat them.
2: Drink ozonated water between meals.
3: For vaginal thrush ozone therapy in the from of vaginal insufflation(putting ozone gas in vagina).
To repopulate the vaginal flora blend 5-10cc’s of kefir grains and insert with syringe, repeat daily untill symtoms dissipate.
I would add one more thing which is spirulina the reasons being many but in relation to Candida it:
1: Directly kills it.
2: Stimulates the cell mediated immune response which Candida strongly suppresses through induction of IL-10.
3: Beneficial to the friendly gut flora.
4: Is broad spectrum antiviral.
Just take it for the rest of your life, as much as you need.
