Sorry your having a tough time with yeast problems. i havent experienced anythign like this.

i will ahve a look into it and see if anyone else i know has been through this sort of thing.

Olive

Natural health food store treatments usually don't work for this.

Ask your doctor about nystatin and diflucan.

Olive-

Candida is yeast, otherwise known as thrush, which you said you also had on a post for advair side effects.

Yes, Candida, yeast and thrush are the same except that thrush is specifically speaking of the mouth.

Advair doesn't cause a fungus through out the entire body.

Nystantin or Diflucan will not contain a yeast in fection that is over much of my skin, and in all all orifices.

First, I am allergic to Diflucan.
Second, I am experiencing liver problems and the powerful drug Diflucan and others just as or more powerful harm the liver too. So I'm not willing to take this type of drug.

Also, I was on Lamasil for many months. I can't remember how long exactly how long I was on it. It could have been 3 or 6 months.

I was also using Lamasil cream because every drug including Diflucan failed.

The fungus was so severe it was growing in pink lines on my legs, my groin looked like someone beat me there and it was just growing everywhere on my my arms hands feet and so on. The inside bends of my arms were bright red and it was just growing.

The doc did a scraping of my arms and checked under the microscope. It was fungus.

As for the woman at the natural food store giving me a successful treatment.

Well, success or failure will tell the story.
So far I am already getting obvious results.

I am eating exactly the way she told me and it is a ridgid diet. I am sticking to it.
I am taking the "meds" she told me to take.

The rages are leaving. Today, I did not have one rage. I did not have one head ache.
The groin yeast infection no longer needs a an antifungal cream. The oral thrush is leaving and for the first time in years, my tongue is almost pink, not white or inflamed red. The skin on my fingers are begining to heal. I lost over 2 inches in bloating in my belly. The swelling in my face is gone.

I am not using lasix and I am not swelling so far. I have saliva and I am not using Salagen.

SO, I would say with this much response in 2 days of rigidly following this woman's directions tells it's own story.

I DO believe in doing things naturally and this includes Eastern medicine.

Eatern medicine was here before Western medicine. In the past I've been treated with Eastern medicine when Western meds failed. The Eastern meds succeeded.

Also, consider all of the people living in countries who use Eastern medication and they are not dying off. They are using herbs, vitaminds, tea's, the smoke of herbs, accupressure and accupuncture.

I suspect you and I may be at different ends of the stick concerning what type of medical care is believable.

Animal,
Sorry to hear about your problems, but good early news they are improving.
You say you are off steroids, do you mean all of them, oral and inhaled?
If you have been using inhaled steroids and didn't religously follow these instructions then you would more than likely end up with thrush right through your system..>>
"Rinsing your mouth with water after each dose may help prevent hoarseness, throat irritation, and infection in the mouth. However, do not swallow the water after rinsing."
What did your doctor say about your condition, what did he prescribe for you?

Nilstat is one of the safer oral drugs for thrush, but I hear you need long courses of it.

Orson which is the one pill treatment for thrush when it goes right through your body?

Hope your natural diet keep working and please let us know what the outcome is

Yes, I am off of ALL steroids including pills and inhalers.

I know the Prednisone takes many months if not close to a year to stop it's activity, after being on high doses for a long time.

I remember this being explained to me when I was hospitalized and kept on high doses through an IV.

Today is great!
I don't have much energy and feel weak.
The natural food store woman "Jeannette" told me I would feel worse in the beginging.

Finally, I am not nervous, aggitated or anything close to that.

I'm amazingly relaxed.
I feel so blessed.

Oh yeah, I stopped all of my inhalers too.
I am taking 1200mg of Theophilline. Theo-24 and that is all I'm using for Asthma.

It appears the yeast was kicking off Asthma too.

So far the only thing I have is a mild swelling in my feet and calves. Lack of activity can do this and I may still have leaky viens.

Last night I put a pressure sock on my left foot/leg and it's fine. Now, I just need to put one on the other foot/leg. LOL
