Hi Bex

Oh, Bex. Cleanses are not going to help you get rid of your problem, especially if your immune system is that weak. Yes, I agree that cleanses help the body to absorve nutrients better but when someone's immune system is very weak, you have to be very careful of these cleanses. You have to work on building up your immune system before you go and do them.

I am glad you did Heel's, that is a very gentle one but after you did it, you had to build, build and build.

When I did a cleanse on my husband I learned so much, poor guy, he was my ginny pig and boy, he got so sick, I pleaded with him to let me take him to the emergency room. He was a good trooper and refused because he said what was the point of going through all that if in ER he was going to be given medication, probably strong antibiotics.

When he did the parasite cleanse we could see all kinds of unwelcomed visitors and we didn't stop till the evacuations came clear. It didn't cost very much because we used an herb that my grandma used to give us (My brother and sister)as children to keep us parasite free.

It was really hard for my husband to get rid of the candida. In fact we struggle everyday to keep candida away. The best thing I have found is to give him lots of probiotics in several forms. Capsules, Food, Kefir, fresh made yogurt. I always give him 4 capsules with water first thing in the morning. I don't even let him brush his teeth. He says it helps a lot because he instantly gets a burst of energy. I continue through out the day with the rest. His constipation problem went away. What his doctor told us was that Probiotics are the only thing that can really kill Candida. We did follow a diet that supposily kills it, I had to do it with him so that he would do it. I don't really know how much it worked though. We lost weight and felt very energetic but without the probiotics, it would keep coming back. Now we just take the probiotics daily without a failure and we watch our sugar intake. So far so good. Although you know what, Candida is part of us so it'll never go away completely.
One thing that his doctor told us was never to do a cleansing during the winter because it is very hard on the vital organs.

THe candida diet was for 3 weeks, it wasn't so bad, as I remember.

I ate something that didn't agree with me last night and nothing seemed to work to get rid of whatever it was. I finally made myself a red tea with cat's claw and boy, it cleaned me out. I am feeling great now so I can do some work.

Don't give up Bex, you'll find what you are looking for, please be careful. Always remember that we are unique and sometimes what works for one, doesn't necessarily work for the other.
