Minutus

Hi Joy, All,
I'm open to any suggestion, but I know that a serious Candida case is very
difficult to cure with only homeopathic remedies.
Maybe I'm lacking the skills, but in the past I tried remedies such a Med
and Sep etc, based on the disease picture and (local) peculiarities etc,
complementary to the individual remedy, but failed to reach satisfactory
results in such cases. There was progress and success, but in my opinion to
minimal and to slow.
Most of these cases are caused by excessive use of anti-biotics and
cortisones. This changes the normal Candida to a hostile very persistent
pathogenic yeast. This is a very unnatural situation for a living being (it
only should have occured after death), created by a aggressive outside
intervention, maybe to change it back we must do something similar but in a
reverse direction?
It is true the body is able to produce capryl acid, but to overcome the
(local) candida in a short period of time the body needs 2700-3600 mg daily.
I guess this is beyond the capacity of the organism?
When we reinforce the vital the force it will manage the Candida the best it
can, and maybe after many years drive it gradually back and some lost ground
is taken back, but will it be wiped out and brought back normal and natural
proportions? This a real problem, I read 1 to 4 persons has this infection
due to modern medicine and diet.

I love to hear your opinion and experience in such cases.

Kind regards, Piet

Hi Shannon,

Thanks for this advice, a recommendation to use virgin coconut oil for
cooking and baking makes this list even more complete.

Kind regards, Piet

Dear Piet, "excessive use of antibiotics and cortisones" - have you
considered a bowel nosode as an intercurrent rx? Probably Morgan for
the Kali carb and Dys co for the Arsenicum. Gaertner is often the one
considered for h/o antibiotics but I think linking in with the rx that
have worked so far for the children might be better. Just a thought.
Best wishes, Joy

Good information on Candida. Thanks to everyone for this. Rosemary

Hi Joy,

Yes, I considered them and they are still an option (Like Sep, Sulph, Sil,
Thuya etc) although the Bowel nosodes are based on bacteria (They are very
clearly in Frans Vermeulen's new book Monera)

I will also consider the Candida Parapsilosis nosode.

A clear explanation what might be going on:
(http://www.newtreatments.org/doc.php/Wi ... rience/177)

"Overgrowth of yeast in the intestines is probably the real cause for Gille
de Tourette Syndrome, just like overgrowth of microbes in the intestines is
probably the real cause of autism, ADHD and several other mental disease.

Even if there is a genetic factor, it only means that you might have a
higher tendency to get yeast overgrowth.. But then, it's still a minor
factor. Factors like diet (high carbohydrate diets can cause yeast
overgrowth very easily) and antibiotic and medication use are the real
factors..

Yeasts produce toxins which then get absorbed in the intestines. The liver
tries to detoxify the blood up to a certain extent, but even small amounts
of these toxins can upset the brain and activate certain brain zones which
can cause the tics. Or the hyperactivity in ADHD, or the psychosis in
schizophrenia, or symptoms associated with autism."

I also read that 90% of the Psoriasis patients have a Candida infection, so
maybe more auto-immune diseases like Arthritis, Asthma etc are as well
accompanied with Candida ?

Thank for your thoughts,

Kind regards, Piet
