Hi, I just bought my GR8-Dophilus. It says to take  1 with or before a meal. Also it says take 1-3 a day. With the Jarradophilus that I took before I always took 2 at a time 30 minutes before a meal and sometimes just the one time in the morning.Should I not take the GR8 30 minutes before a meal and by itself? Also would one in the morning before breakfast be enough? Thanks Doug

Douglas, one capsule of probiotic is about the right amount of organisms to colonise about 2 CCs of fecal slurry if the ecology is about 50% out. They will still have to be fed in order to adhere to the gut lining and maintain the bowel population even though it’s being evacuated.
You can readily see why the dose-related effect runs you into dozens if not hundreds of caps or more than a pouch of VSL#3 per day. Using VSL#3 that as a guide, the 450 billion organisms in a single dose would be contained in about 100-150 capsules.
So, a probiotic of 20 capsules per dose seems low-end even as a starter culture.
By feeding the culture a few spoonfuls of prebiotic you can grow the balance of the organisms you need in a day.
all good,
Duncan

Try adding a small amount of Virgin Coconut Oil to your diet daily to
see if it might help. Try adding maybe 2 or 3 teaspoonfuls a day
of Virgin coconut oil to your diet. When I tried it the gas and  bloating
started to cease almost immediately.

3. Anger, Acceptance and Coconut Oil?!
Posted by: “a_lorraine” alisonlorraine  yahoo.com alisonlorraine
Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 8:43 am ((PDT))
I can honestly say that I’ve had a lot of anger regarding my health (and resulting financial) situation.  The two are inextricably intertwined as we damn well know.  Especially in the United States where anything medical and long-term can easily bankrupt you, along with the attitude that “it’s YOUR fault”.
When I suddenly became allergic to 30 different foods, I started to fear what was on my plate.  Anger and frustration were among my reactions.  Sitting down to a meal became a stressful event, one which I had to repeat several times per day, since not eating was not an option.  So my frustrated, reactive state was constant and daily, and not easy to deal with.  Never mind the clueless attitude of “medical professionals”, none of whom seemed to have a clue.
Eventually, I was being told that I was “crazy”, “anorexic” and/or “mentally ill” at a time when I was very physically ill and had no idea what the hell was going on.  I was spending gobs of money, overdrawing every source of funds that I had chasing these horrific symptoms that no one could explain.  This went on for several years; I lost everything I had worked for, credit and all down the toilet.
Yeah, that made me angry.  DUH!  Why anyone would be surprised at this really blows my mind.
In my case, I can’t attribute my anger level to coconut oil–I do notice increased agitation after too much dairy–but not coconut oil.  But I did notice that my level of anger went down after I ACCEPTED it as my own, acted on it, and stopped allowing others–who’ve never had candidiasis or the resulting financial nightmare that goes with it–to trivialize my situation.
Onward,
Alison

I would like to ask if people in this group have haital hernia?
I had one in the past and now it is gone but still have reflux.
I have red hernicould be result of gluten intolerance but it may be also from inflammation from candida or high esonophylls count  in gut.

5. Nystatin for Oral Suspension Price?
Posted by: “psychomutts” alukasick  sbcglobal.net psychomutts
Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:04 pm ((PDT))
Hi. My MD prescribed a month’s worth of Nystatin to treat a bad case of oral thrush, but the price seems to be ridiculously high – over $300 to fill the prescription at Walgreens (and yes, it’s generic made by Paddock Labs).
Nystatin USP, 50 MMU (10 gm) — 1 bottle is over $30, and apparently it will take 10 bottles to fill the prescription.
Does this seem right?
I’ve been through the posts and read that people have been on Nystatin for months, even up to a year. How can anyone afford it?
Thanks.

6. Garlic AND probiotics…

Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:04 pm ((PDT))
We’re encouraged to take both garlic and probiotics to combat candida
problems.  But since garlic has antibiotic properties, doesn’t it kill off these
very expensive probiotics were taking if we take them at the same time, or
even on the same day?
What’s the point of taking good bacteria if we’re going to kill it off with
garlic?

Carmen,
Thanks for the website you gave me. Very informative. Have you, or anyone
else in this site followed the candida diet, then did the antifungal
treatment,  then finished with the probiotics.
I am wondering how long you must stay on each step. i.e., how long do I
stay on the diet for before I move on to antifungals, etc?
I believe my candida trouble is coming from my amalgams (have about 12). I
am going to concentrate on getting them out first, than (possibly) chelate,
then  do the candida treatment.
thanks again everyone,
Tiffany

8. HELP – how to continue with biomed?
Posted by: “emilynk.chan” emilynk.chan  yahoo.com emilynk.chan
Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:04 pm ((PDT))
Hi Listmates,
I have been doing biomed on my son for 2 years with little progress.  Biggest problem is my son seems intolerant of most of the supps I gave and he falls ill easily and then becomes even more intolerant of the supps.  So these 2 years have been like start-stop, start-stop for me with little progress.
Just recently I started doing antifungals on him and restarting on supplements again.  But as soon as I add more supps (esp vit B’s), he starts to show signs of distress with a lot of aggitation, temper tantrums, spaciness, unable to focus, increased verbal stims and other stims, unresponsive.  So a week ago I decided to stop most of the supps and then he became relaxed, happy with little stim and performing much, much better at therapy class, no more teeth grinding.
The only supps he was on before I stopped this time round were zinc, Magnesium citrate, Vitamin B6, P5P, Biotin, MB12 shots, Methylfolate, various probiotics, transfer factor, taurine.  A wek ago I stopped everything except zinc, probiotics, transfer factor and antifungal medicine with occasional charcoal – and he began to feel and perform so much better.  Despite that his OAT and other tests shows that he still has a lot of deficiencies – like VitB6, folic acid, B12, selenium, Vit D, Vit E.
I am really puzzled – so does that mean I will never be able to upload him with all the supps that he needs?
Any input would be hugely appreciated.
REgards,
Emily

I had something similar happen to me recently. I was so irritable that I made myself mad with my own movements/paper rustling. (I hadn’t been taking the coconut oil for a few days so I don’t know if that had an impact.)
I finally figured out that it was probably hormones so I went home and put on some hormone cream and that calmed me down.
You may want to check with an Endocrinologist to see if there is a hormone imbalance contributing. Jen

I do not want to stop it but wonder if anyone knows of any things one could ingest to put one at peace when that happens. I know cognitive (psychological) therapy in and out but the physical effect this has on me seems to precede any efforts to do something about it. Maybe it will wear off after an hour and maybe I am already over stressed today too. Doug

10. PANDAS/ strep question
Posted by: “emilynk.chan” emilynk.chan  yahoo.com emilynk.chan

Can someone please help me with my son’s lab tests for PANDAS/ step:
ASOT – Positive 200IU/mL (reference range – less than 200)
Antideoxyribonuclease – B antibodies – <50U/mL (reference range <187)
1. Does this mean my son has strep and/or PANDAS?
2. What are the treatment options?
Many thanks for any input
Regards,
Emily

Yes actually. I feel better and my digestion is better. My weight is holding, not going up anymore. I still have a ways to go with the gut though because I still have the apple shaped stomach. I sometimes have  a relapse of symptoms if I indulge in sugars/breads but the response is not a big as before and I can recover more easily now by resuming a healthy diet. Side note.. someone here suggested a while back that skin candida rashes could be treated with Seabreeze. I did try it and it worked like a charm. Thanks, Jen

I am going to try using DMSO ointment with Miconazole for my candida cellulitis. I know I have to be very careful. I do not know much about DMSO. Can you put Dmso on an open ulcer? Should I put Miconazole on first then apply Dmso? I need any advice I can get. I am sure no doctor will help me with this. I cant find a doctor that treats Candida skin infections.

I didn`t ry this combination but I do use Valerian tuncture according to Ayurveda recommendation. It helps a lot to stop such symptoms like palpitation and pain. Because I can`t tolerate most bitter antifungals it is my only supplement I use on regular base.Black Walnuts is very astrigenic so I can use it from time to time only.Intake of bitter and astrigenic herbs and strick diet is not recommended more that for 2 weeks in a raw bc it can make immune systen even more weak. I think it was my case when I was taking PauD Arco and other antifungals for a long time.

started to cease almost immediately.

3. Anger, Acceptance and Coconut Oil?!

Posted by: “a_lorraine” alisonlorraine  yahoo.com alisonlorraine

I can honestly say that I’ve had a lot of anger regarding my health (and resulting financial) situation.  The two are inextricably intertwined as we damn well know.  Especially in the United States where anything medical and long-term can easily bankrupt you, along with the attitude that “it’s YOUR fault”.

When I suddenly became allergic to 30 different foods, I started to fear what was on my plate.  Anger and frustration were among my reactions.  Sitting down to a meal became a stressful event, one which I had to repeat several times per day, since not eating was not an option.  So my frustrated, reactive state was constant and daily, and not easy to deal with.  Never mind the clueless attitude of “medical professionals”, none of whom seemed to have a clue.

Eventually, I was being told that I was “crazy”, “anorexic” and/or “mentally ill” at a time when I was very physically ill and had no idea what the hell was going on.  I was spending gobs of money, overdrawing every source of funds that I had chasing these horrific symptoms that no one could explain.  This went on for several years; I lost everything I had worked for, credit and all down the toilet.

Yeah, that made me angry.  DUH!  Why anyone would be surprised at this really blows my mind.

In my case, I can’t attribute my anger level to coconut oil–I do notice increased agitation after too much dairy–but not coconut oil.  But I did notice that my level of anger went down after I ACCEPTED it as my own, acted on it, and stopped allowing others–who’ve never had candidiasis or the resulting financial nightmare that goes with it–to trivialize my situation.

Onward,

Alison

4. Haital Hernia

I would like to ask if people in this group have haital hernia?

I had one in the past and now it is gone but still have reflux.

I have red hernicould be result of gluten intolerance but it may be also from inflammation from candida or high esonophylls count  in gut.

5. Nystatin for Oral Suspension Price?

Posted by: “psychomutts” alukasick  sbcglobal.net psychomutts

Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:04 pm ((PDT))

Hi. My MD prescribed a month’s worth of Nystatin to treat a bad case of oral thrush, but the price seems to be ridiculously high – over $300 to fill the prescription at Walgreens (and yes, it’s generic made by Paddock Labs).

Nystatin USP, 50 MMU (10 gm) — 1 bottle is over $30, and apparently it will take 10 bottles to fill the prescription.

Does this seem right?

I’ve been through the posts and read that people have been on Nystatin for months, even up to a year. How can anyone afford it?

Thanks.

6. Garlic AND probiotics…

Posted by: “Paspenc5  cs.com” Paspenc5  cs.com lemonade19882000

Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:04 pm ((PDT))

We’re encouraged to take both garlic and probiotics to combat candida

problems.  But since garlic has antibiotic properties, doesn’t it kill off these

very expensive probiotics were taking if we take them at the same time, or

even on the same day?

What’s the point of taking good bacteria if we’re going to kill it off with

garlic?

7. candida diet/ naturally thriving site

Posted by: “daisytiff228  aol.com” daisytiff228  aol.com litldaisytiff

Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:04 pm ((PDT))

Carmen,

Thanks for the website you gave me. Very informative. Have you, or anyone

else in this site followed the candida diet, then did the antifungal

treatment,  then finished with the probiotics.

I am wondering how long you must stay on each step. i.e., how long do I

stay on the diet for before I move on to antifungals, etc?

I believe my candida trouble is coming from my amalgams (have about 12). I

am going to concentrate on getting them out first, than (possibly) chelate,

then  do the candida treatment.

thanks again everyone,

Tiffany

8. HELP – how to continue with biomed?

Posted by: “emilynk.chan” emilynk.chan  yahoo.com emilynk.chan

Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:04 pm ((PDT))

Hi Listmates,

I have been doing biomed on my son for 2 years with little progress.  Biggest problem is my son seems intolerant of most of the supps I gave and he falls ill easily and then becomes even more intolerant of the supps.  So these 2 years have been like start-stop, start-stop for me with little progress.

Just recently I started doing antifungals on him and restarting on supplements again.  But as soon as I add more supps (esp vit B’s), he starts to show signs of distress with a lot of aggitation, temper tantrums, spaciness, unable to focus, increased verbal stims and other stims, unresponsive.  So a week ago I decided to stop most of the supps and then he became relaxed, happy with little stim and performing much, much better at therapy class, no more teeth grinding.

The only supps he was on before I stopped this time round were zinc, Magnesium citrate, Vitamin B6, P5P, Biotin, MB12 shots, Methylfolate, various probiotics, transfer factor, taurine.  A wek ago I stopped everything except zinc, probiotics, transfer factor and antifungal medicine with occasional charcoal – and he began to feel and perform so much better.  Despite that his OAT and other tests shows that he still has a lot of deficiencies – like VitB6, folic acid, B12, selenium, Vit D, Vit E.

I am really puzzled – so does that mean I will never be able to upload him with all the supps that he needs?

Any input would be hugely appreciated.

REgards,

Emily

9a. Re: Cocunut oil

I had something similar happen to me recently. I was so irritable that I made myself mad with my own movements/paper rustling. (I hadn’t been taking the coconut oil for a few days so I don’t know if that had an impact.)

I finally figured out that it was probably hormones so I went home and put on some hormone cream and that calmed me down.

You may want to check with an Endocrinologist to see if there is a hormone imbalance contributing. Jen

I do not want to stop it but wonder if anyone knows of any things one could ingest to put one at peace when that happens. I know cognitive (psychological) therapy in and out but the physical effect this has on me seems to precede any efforts to do something about it. Maybe it will wear off after an hour and maybe I am already over stressed today too. Doug

10. PANDAS/ strep question

Posted by: “emilynk.chan” emilynk.chan  yahoo.com emilynk.chan

Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:05 pm ((PDT))

Can someone please help me with my son’s lab tests for PANDAS/ step:

ASOT – Positive 200IU/mL (reference range – less than 200)

Antideoxyribonuclease – B antibodies – <50U/mL (reference range <187)

1. Does this mean my son has strep and/or PANDAS?

2. What are the treatment options?

Many thanks for any input

Regards,

Emily

Yes actually. I feel better and my digestion is better. My weight is holding, not going up anymore. I still have a ways to go with the gut though because I still have the apple shaped stomach. I sometimes have  a relapse of symptoms if I indulge in sugars/breads but the response is not a big as before and I can recover more easily now by resuming a healthy diet. Side note.. someone here suggested a while back that skin candida rashes could be treated with Seabreeze. I did try it and it worked like a charm. Thanks, Jen

12. I need advice with DMSO and Miconazole-Duncan or anyone

Posted by: “mike” ikelo  yahoo.com ikelo

Date: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:10 pm ((PDT))

I am going to try using DMSO ointment with Miconazole for my candida cellulitis. I know I have to be very careful. I do not know much about DMSO. Can you put Dmso on an open ulcer? Should I put Miconazole on first then apply Dmso? I need any advice I can get. I am sure no doctor will help me with this. I cant find a doctor that treats Candida skin infections.

13a. New remedy for candida

I didn`t ry this combination but I do use Valerian tuncture according to Ayurveda recommendation. It helps a lot to stop such symptoms like palpitation and pain. Because I can`t tolerate most bitter antifungals it is my only supplement I use on regular base.Black Walnuts is very astrigenic so I can use it from time to time only.Intake of bitter and astrigenic herbs and strick diet is not recommended more that for 2 weeks in a raw bc it can make immune systen even more weak. I think it was my case when I was taking PauD Arco and other antifungals for a long time.
