The Person that posted on Biliary Obstruction

[nova502]

I caught a post on the 20 stating that Candida can block the biliary tubing.  The person who posted this I would like to get their email and chat with them, I have candida and maybe this is what is causeing my right quadrant pain.

Look up this candida forum ,it’s the best!! & below Dr Truss article for your info

Lack of energy and digestive disturbances, arthritic joint pains, skin disease, menstrual problems, emotional instability and depression. All symptoms of what I call the 'antibiotic syndrome' which have greatly increased in frequency in recent years.
On further examination, more symptoms may be discovered. Most of the gastro-intestinal tract is tender when pressed, especially the small intestine, liver and gall bladder. There may even have been a gall bladder operation that failed to improve the condition, sometimes even worsening the symptoms.
There could be a history of thrush or oral, anal or vaginal itching. When these are present the diagnosis of Candida is obvious but it may also be present in the absence of these manifestations and that can be somewhat confusing. The yeast or fungus Candida albicans, of course, thrives during antibiotic treatment. I regard it as reckless negligence to prescribe antibiotics without simultaneous fungicides and replacement therapy with lactobacilli afterwards. I believe that this practice has greatly added to our vast pool of a chronically sick population.
However, the 'antibiotic syndrome' is not just due to Candida. I regard it more generally as a 'dysbiosis' where the wrong kind of microbes inhabit the intestinal tract, not just Candida and other fungi, but many types of pathogenic bacteria including coli bacteria which are normal in the colon but become disease-forming when they ascend into the small intestine.
If the problem has existed for years, there is usually a lack of gastric acid which then allows the stomach to be colonised by microbes, causing inflammation with pain and later, ulcers. The toxins released by the microbial overpopulation cause in addition chronic inflammation of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas and intestines. I regard it as rather likely that a chronic inflammation of the pancreas is a major contributing factor in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes.
Bacterial attack
Specific types of pathogenic bacteria appear to cause or contribute to specific auto-immune diseases. One variety of coli bacteria, for instance, produces a molecule that is very similar to insulin. When the immune system becomes activated against this molecule it may then also attack related features at the beta cells of the pancreas
Another type of bacteria, Yersinia enterocolitica, induces an immune response that attacks the thyroid gland and leads to Grave's disease with a serious overproduction of thyroid hormones.
Ulcerative colitis is linked to overgrowth with pathogenic microbes, the same as Crohn's disease, osteoporosis and ankylosing spondylitis. In ankylosing spondylitis the vertebra of the spine fuse together causing stiffness and pain. Other joints may in time become affected.
Klebsiella, another type of pathogenic bacteria, produces a molecule that is similar to a tissue type found in people with this disease. When klebsiella numbers in the gut decrease, related antibodies in the blood decrease and the condition improves.
Rheumatoid arthritis is linked to other bacteria, called proteus. Proteus is also a common cause of urinary tract infections. Women suffer urinary tract infections as well as rheumatoid arthritis twice as often as men, while men usually have higher levels of klebsiella and three times more ankylosing spondylitis than women.
In addition microbial overgrowth dam ages the intestinal wall so that only partly digested food particles can pass into the bloodstream, causing allergies. In this way all auto-immune diseases can be linked to food allergies.
While rheumatoid arthritis is a frequent feature of the antibiotic syndrome, and I regard it as relatively easy to cure, not many sufferers of this disease seem to be interested in this natural approach. The other day a young man with severe rheumatoid arthritis knocked at my door to collect money for a medically sponsored walkathon. When I told him that I do not give money for drug treatment as it can be overcome with natural therapies, he shouted: 'You are mad!' and left visibly upset.
Other auto-immune diseases that have so far been linked to dysbiosis are psoriasis, lupus erythematosus and pancreatitis. When remedies are given that bind bacterial endotoxins, these conditions usually improve. A further consequence of dysbiosis is susceptibility to food poisoning as with salmonella bacteria, while a healthy intestinal flora prevents these from multiplying and causing trouble.
Staphylococcus aureus or golden staph cause serious infections in hospital patients. It has been found that not only golden staph but also other infections are greatly potentised when they occur with a Candida overgrowth. As Candida overgrowth is a natural outcome of the standard hospital treatment, it is easy to see why golden staph is so deadly in hospitals.
A similar picture emerges with AIDS. People do not die from the AIDS virus but from Candida-potentised bacterial infections. I also see the antibiotic-induced dysbiosis in babies and infants as the main cause of their frequent infections, glue ear and greatly contributing to cot death.
While it used to be uncommon for children to have more than one or two infections a year, now more than six is the norm.
In the 1940's Candida was found in only three per cent of autopsies, now the figure is nearer thirty per cent. There are, of course, other factors that can cause dysbiosis - the contraceptive pill, steroids and other drugs, radiation treatment and chemotherapy - but the main culprit is, without doubt, antibiotics.
Closely related to Candida are the mycoplasms or pleomorphic organisms. These have been shown to be a main factor in the causation of cancer. Therefore, antifungal therapy has also major benefits in cancer treatment.

I think you should also go to :

http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/candida.html

before self-diagnosing yourself with Candida.
If you've ever actually seen someone with AIDS with a true systemic candida infection, its a horrible sight.
Thrush and vaginal infection is not uncommon, but to just tell someone based on symptoms they have candida, without an actual true test is harmful.

A naturopath told me i had this once, and i followed their instructions by taking caproil ( a mixture of capriylic acid and olive oil ),
psyllium seed, and betonite clay. I also couldnt eat any refined sugar, fruit, bread... basically anything known to man.
I did this for over a week and it made me insanely sick, i was told i would feel sick at first, but it got to the point that i was bedridden and yellow to the skin.
I went to the emergency and i had high liver inflammation, and temporary jaundice.
I stopped immediately and my skin came back and my liver calmed down. But it really wrecked my body and was unnessesary.
Very scary, i'll never let someone wihout any professional tests diagnose me again.

The antibiotics theory is correct though. Negligence to just prescribe antibiotics at the whif of a pen seems to be the way of many doctors these days, and can definately cause us problems later, especially bacteria that can become immune to antibiotics.

Look up this site [the quack page is one of the links] there’s plenty on testing

http://www.panix.com./~candida/

Also read this “Doc Darren” [ he’s a genetic engineer] he has some interesting things to say on diagnosing a yeast infection. Your right about quacks it’s a wonder your not dead consuming that lot,I would suggest you stick to conventional medicine at least there’s some knowledge about the active ingredients & drug interactions etc; BTW its not a candida infection that kills HIV patients its bacterial infections.
[ that are given the potential to cause death by a yeast infection ]

That was actually kind of interesting.
I know im lucky im still alive from that.. it was quite scary.
Im not so sure if there truly is a big "die off" stage, as the quacks tend to say.  I think its because they dont know any controlled dosage for the natural products and it just makes a person sick. It might not be really doing anything either, just making a weird reaction with the body.

Have you personally been diagnosed with it and successfully treated it?

I dont believe in the Great Smokies lab or all these send away labs. Its also on Quackwatch...
You should always look out for so called "labs" saying that they have different tests that most hospitals and stuff don't know about.

I'd be much more comfertable if i knew the place, like our labs around my hosptials.
If i can get an actual test from there showing candida, that would be great!  

I especially wouldnt wanna go on that diet AT ALL if i didnt know for sure what my problem is.
Its a BRUTAL diet. It'd make you sick in itself. Not alot of nutrients there.

Write me back with some more info... tell me if you agree..

Tests for a yeast infection are notoriously  unreliable  Though two tests that top the league, are PCR testing, looking for the DNA fingerprint of a pathogen & looking for Metabolites produced by yeast in the urine, the way I was diagnosed was to take A/F & see the reaction [as per doc Darren] my GP treated me for three months unfortunately the consultant I was subsequently referred to was corrupt & gave me a diagnosis of “Placebo” I’ve been treating myself since [with my GP’s help in the background] if you feel you may have a yeast infection I would visit the candida forum where you can access the searchable archives there you can research all aspects of a candida infection.
I will add that if you decide to try A/F  beware that you treat yourself realistically, base the dose on a least 400 mg of fluconozole [Diflucan] or 500 mg Terbinafine  [Lamisil] for three weeks! [latest research] The health risks of this dose are minimal, against the enormous potential benefits of identifying your health problem

Forgot the diet. Adopt a no sugar low carbohyrate diet dont starve yourself eat the required amount of calories
good luck
