I have been suffering with fibromyalgia for couple of years, and realized candida was a contributing factor. I also suffer with depression from the syndrome, which I found on here also connected to the candida. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm not an expert, or doctor, but I sure have read my share of books on health, and it's been a struggle to find good information about helping myself. I share my experience on my www.squidoo.com/stemcellrenewal, and on my green4blog on this site, what I went through daily and what I did to help myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope other's may learn something new, and well at least you may enjoy looking at this green-living site. Enjoy the information, and hope it may help others heal too. &lt;/p&gt;

Much disease is attributed to an acidic body resulting from the bad foods that are prevalant today. &amp;nbsp;If we eat foods that alkalinize our body and avoid foods that acidify our body then many diseases can be avoided. &amp;nbsp;Dr William Wong published an article claiming that daily intake of cream of tartar will kill off the bulk of yeast in 30 days, although severe candida infections can take years to fully eliminate. &amp;nbsp;Since cream of tartar is cheap at the bulk food store, why not give it a try? &amp;nbsp;A PH test strip will tell you if it's working. &amp;nbsp;More info at &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.totalityofbeing.com/FramelessPages/Articles/YeastInfections.htm"&gt;www.totalityofbeing.com/.../YeastInfections.htm&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Everyone talks about it but what are the exact steps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Diet now carbs, sugar fermented foods. My question how do you no when the yeast is out of your body so that you can introduce probiotics? 2. Can you kill the yeast with oregano and garlic alone and if you need something more what is a natural solution? 3. I am confused as some experts say that yeast thrive in an acid enviroment while some say the opposite. I understand that you need to GI tract to be slightly acidic to reintroduce the good bacteria - what is the case with that? &lt;/p&gt;

See &amp;quot;Your Body's Many Cries for Water.&amp;quot; There is a whole chapter on AIDS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Semen has immune suppressing properties not only to ensure survival of the sperm while it goes to fertilize the egg, but also to suppress the mother's immune system during the pregnancy so that her body does not attack the foreign body -- the fetus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Semen is not absorbed in the vagina, so vaginal sex does not introduce the immune-suppressing qualities of the semen into a woman on a regular basis. But it IS absorbed in the rectum. Dr. B says:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;With repeated secretion of semen into a male or female rectum, the immune system suppression is unavoidable -- not because of a &amp;quot;virus,&amp;quot; but because of chemical properties of the semen itself. Women who participate in anal sex to avoid becoming pregnant should be aware of this immune suppressive property of semen.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

Well</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;After several years of being seriously ill and emaciated with severe food and chemical sensitivities and debilitating fatigue I realized that systemic candidiasis was the major player and cause of my chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and multiple food and chemical sensitivities. &amp;nbsp;I am completely well today and without the use of any supplements or magic bullets. &amp;nbsp;I simply changed my diet; eliminating high glycemic foods, fungi, moldy foods such as corn and bananas and fermented foods. &amp;nbsp;As my terrain changed and my ph became more alkaline (I was largely macrobiotic but went easy on soy sauce and miso at first - and didn't overdo grains) my health rapidly improved. &amp;nbsp;As the liver and lymph clears through better eating habits and the adrenals are strengthened by eliminating sugar, caffeine, and stress, the candida will continue to diminish. &amp;nbsp;As candida sensitivity lessens then fermented foods can be added; miso, cultured vegetables, sauerkraut, kimchee, kefir, etc... &amp;nbsp;Amalgam fillings and root canals should definitely be addressed and slowly and carefully replaced and care should be taken when selecting and eating fish. &amp;nbsp;Strengthen qi with chi gong or tai chi and or yoga if you have the time or inclination. Check out Louise Hay's emotional cause behind candidiasis - it's very telling. &amp;nbsp;Also, spread the word to any parents you know whose children or babies suffer from food sensitivities (not IgE mediated allergies) reflux and or exzema that fungal dysbiosis and leaky gut of the small intestine is almost certainly the cause and that dietary modification, cessation of unnecessary antibiotic usage, and supplementation with probiotics will quickly ease their condition. &amp;nbsp;Best of luck to all!&lt;/p&gt;

Your giving advice for symptoms that have a grip on people rather than giving advice to people that may have certain symptoms. The only way to effectively balance any individuals chemistry is to determine their own bodies specific biochemical individuality. What works for one person, is ineffective for another person, and for a third can make them even worse. We are so conditioned to practice and receive allopathic medication that we fail to realize the greatest need in medicine is to treat the person.&lt;/p&gt;

I never get colds, yet I travel the same subways all winter w/everyone coughing and sneezing all over the place, usually w/o putting a hand or a tissue up to their mouth! &amp;nbsp;Think about that. &amp;nbsp;Gaye&lt;/p&gt;
