Thank you so much for this. What you said makes a lot of sense and I will try to follow it. I feel better. This is sort of a scarey time.   [End]

I just found out I’m pregnant and I have systemic candida. I’m probably only three to four weeks at this point and I already notice the usual symptoms I have are worse and harder to control. I don’t know whether it is safe in the long run for me to even continue this pregnancy. Has anybody gone through a pregnancy with systemic candida? What can I do to control these symptoms? Can this harm me or the baby in the long run?   [End]

Hi Andreas, I have very oily skin that’s prone to breakouts unless I use a topical medication daily. It’s become so bothersome lately because I’m a 36 year old woman and still have this problem that started when I was 11. I want it to end. Is there any way to cure oily skin? I read that hormones are the cause. Will flushing the liver balance my hormones and in turn cure my oily skin? Or is there something else I could be doing as well? Thanks.   [End]

Are there any products that dissolve liver/gallstones so that flushing isn’t the only alternative to alleviating our bodies of this problem? Flushing involves so much and a lot of preparation, not to mention all of the colon cleansing that is recommended before and after. It seems I’ll spend the next year focusing only on liver flushing without any room left over in my brain to run my life. This may sound immature or like I’m whining, but I figured I would ask. Products that dissolve the stones I would think would be convenient for a lot of people, including those who say they have trouble ...

I’m a reiki master and I question the validity of it sometimes. I don’t have a very effective practice, although I’ve heard stories from other people that do. It’s all in what you choose to believe I guess. I took the three levels of training but I don’t think I’ve decided to fully believe in it yet, therefore it doesn’t work well for me. It’s a mental block on my part.   [End]

I have candida, but I think I now have some other organism infecting my digestive tract as well. It’s causing loose stools and diarreah and it’s starting to scare me. I’ve been taking natural remedies like olive leaf extract and soil based organisms which usually kill anything and everything in there. But it only works for the day and by morning the loose stools are back. Today I’m having a particularly bad day with the cramping and loose stools, even though I’m taking my olive leaf extract and soil based organisms. I’m not sure what kind of bacteria this could be, but it’s really concerni ...

Andreas, How do you feel about juicing for people with candida as long as I only juice green leafy vegetables? Also, what is your opinion of goat milk kefir as a probiotic source? (even after the candida is gone) I was considering buying some real kefir grains and making my own with goat’s milk. I’m a kapha type. Thanks.   [End]

I hear ya. I’ve been there. When I first became ill I went to see an infectious disease specialist who proceeded to tell me that intestinal candida infection doesn’t exist and when I insisted I have this condition, he called in one of his colleagues to try to help convince me further that it can’t happen. I left there thinking ”these are supposed to be brilliant doctors and they don’t know jack shit” Not to mention the compassion factor was null and void. Thank goodness for my family doctor who IS willing to entertain the idea that this can exist and will prescribe diflucan for me when thi ...

You’re very right about the brain fog thing. That makes it so much worse and thoughts of just throwing in the towel come much more easy and frequent. Yes, right now the brain fog is seems endless and I know that’s a big part of the problem for me. Thanks for your caring and concern. Your post helps me a lot right now. It would just be so nice to snap my fingers and this beast be gone from my intestines forever.   [End]

I’ve had candida for four years and there doesn’t seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Killing the candida and replenishing my gut with good bacteria is the goal, right? Well, that’s an impossibility because I can’t ever seem to kill the candida all the way because I DO have to eat and everything, feeds that horrible, disgusting, vile beast. And, I’ve had no luck trying to implant good bacteria because all the antifungals I take kill the good bacteria along with the yeast. I’m in an endless cycle of killing the yeast, trying to reimplant good bacteria, eating (thus feeding the yea ...

Andreas, I ate some immitation crab meat yesterday that I think had some unfriendly microbes on it which ended up in me. I started experiencing some diarrea and vomiting around 3 am this morning. Right away I took some soil based probiotics which have once before gotten me out of a jam like this within a few hours because they’re so powerful. The vomiting ended pretty quickly (it only happened once) but the cramping and diarrea have been slow in going away so I figured the microbes this time must have been pretty plentiful and strong. I’m alittle worried about dehydration because I’ve b ...

I’m attracted to someone I can’t have because we’re both married. He’s attracted to me too, but nothing will come of it. The problem is, my very mood is dictated by whether he says hi to me the right way or looks at me the right way. I don’t understand why I’m so consumed with how he speaks and responds to me and what he thinks of me. He has a lot of qualities I don’t so I guess that’s why I’m attracted to him and I feel like if we were both single he would be too good for me anyway. I feel small in his presence, even though I know he’s attracted to me too. I guess this is supposed to be t ...

Hi Andreas - I have intestinal candida so I know there’s a severe flora imbalance in my colon. Can a flora imbalance in the colon prevent the vagina from having the correct flora balance as well? I have a lot of trouble with odor and it’s very annoying. I douche and insert probiotic capsules after my period and within a few days the odor is back so apparently the good bacteria are not implanting. Will I have to cure the dysbiosis in the colon before my vaginal flora balance will come back? Any advice? Thank you.   [End]

Andreas - my husband found blood and undigested food in the toilet recently after a bowel movement and is pretty concerned. He’s going to visit the doctor soon, but I was wondering if you have any thoughts on what the cause of this could be besides something very serious like cancer, which will hopefully be ruled out by medical tests. Thanks.   [End]

Oh God it was like dejavu reading your post. My husband isn’t quite as bad in that he doesn’t do it everyday, but I feel the same way you do. It’s rude. Morning just isn’t the time for me. I feel gross and ugly (not to mention unclean) in the morning but he doesn’t get it. Your boyfriend’s attitude isn’t fair and that’s his problem not yours. I wish I could tell you what to say to make him stop. I’m still trying to figure that out myself.   [End]

Hi Andreas - can malic acid powder damage your teeth in a short period of time if you drink it daily for several months? It’s not part of the protocol you describe for liver cleansing, but I’ve been drinking small amounts of it everyday for a few months in between cleanses because it helps kill candida which I have very badly. I also eat miso often because it seems to help. I’m concerned both of these can damage the teeth. I have a little spot on one of my front teeth that looks worn away for lack of a better way of putting it. It’s not that bad, but I don’t want it to continue. My teeth o ...

Hi Andreas - How do you get over internalizing parental criticism? I’m 35 and I thought I was over it, but recently my mother belittled and insulted me and all the old feelings of low self esteem and worthlessness came back. I could feel it in my heart chakra the most and in my solar plexus. I thought over the last few years our relationship has gotten better, but the recent incident made me realize she’s still the same person deep down. But I don’t know why I’m still so emotionally and mentally affected by her. I began a spiritual journey about 5 years ago and I thought I was past lett ...

Andreas - I’m wondering what your thoughts are about living near a pond. I live on the east coast in the humid, swampy mid-Atlantic. In the spring and summer I experience allergies to pollen and my sinuses seem to swell with the allergens and humidity. The air gets so thick here. I am moving and trying to choose between two apartments. One is situated directly by a large pond that would be only a few feet away from the apartment. The view is FABULOUS, although I could feel the humidity in the apartment when I went to look at it. I’m wondering if it is unhealthy to live so close to the po ...

Andreas, I’ve had heart palpitations ever since I came down with candida and dysbiosis in the intestines. Now, I’m trying to use liver and colon cleansing to get rid of the dysbiosis and improve my digestion. I tend not to fear something as much if I understand it, so I was wondering if you can explain why heart palpitations occur when digestion is poor and the flora balance is off in the intestines? I’ve always wondered and sometimes, although the palpitations aren’t severe, I get a little scared. Also, relating to the heart, is it possible if you’re still young to get rid of whatever ...

Andreas - I read in one of your books that thinning hair at the top of the head means some organs, including the heart, are getting clogged with waste. I am female and have had candida for about five years. When the dysbiosis in my digestive tract began, my hair started thinning on top and has slowly been thinning since. I’m in my early thirties. Did you mean that I could actually be getting clogged arteries at this stage in my life? (caused by the dysbiosis and candida waste). This really scares me because even if I continue with liver cleanses and one day (hopefully) get rid of the cand ...

I’ve known my ”best friend” since the 10th grade and we’re now in our 30s. She says I’m her best friend but I don’t consider her mine. All through our relationship I feel she’s treated me badly. So for her to say I’m her best friend is confusing. When we were younger, we would make plans to go out and she ”stood me up” a few times and lied about it later. I know she was lying because I know her very well. We were supposed to move in together once with one other person and all be roommates and she and the other person moved in together on purpose without me and made up some big lie as to wh ...

Hi Andreas, For the past 6 years I’ve been dealing with candida. Around the time the candida started, I started getting sweating episodes and hot flashes a few days before my period and it lasts for the duration. I’m 34 years old, so this has been going on since I was 28. I don’t think I’m in peri-menopause because my periods have always been about every 26 to 28 days and that hasn’t changed. Why is my candida condition causing this VERY uncomfortable situation around the time of my period? I’ve asked around and no young woman I know has the ”hot” thing like I do when she has her period ...
