When I was about 10 or 11, I had a very vivid dream about a little boy playing on a lawn. It is 20 years later and I still remember every detail of what he looked like. When I woke up from the dream I knew that this was my son. I don’t remember questioning or doubting this, just that I got up, accepted the fact and went on with my day. Which is weird because I was not brought up in a faith that believes in reincarnation. Anyway, do you think this was a recollection of a past life or a glimpse into the future or just a regular dream? I know that no one can answer this for me, I just w ...

Not sure about this, but I had this several years ago and went to my gynecologist about it - I actually had a small cyst in my breast in addition to the very severe premenstrual breast soreness. He told me to CUT the CAFFEINE and get more vitamin E in my diet, wait 2 cycles and only come back if it still hurt - and I didn’t have to because the soreness stopped. Anyway, that was my experience.   [End]

if you do have what is described on NUSPA and the NPA studies, I think you can beat it because I did several years ago. it took me about 6 months to get rid of it but after I started the protocols i noticed an improvement each month until it was totally gone. this is what i did: 1) switch to organic soaps and shampoos (ie Dr Bronners peppermint soap, Burt’s Bees products, etc). Use the laundry detergent that is free of perfumes and dyes, use borax as a laundry booster instead of bleach. do as much of this as you can. i still wore makeup for my job, but try to switch to as ma ...

Shelley, I also took DE during my parasite cleanse a few years ago. The product I used was called K-Min from Nutritional Counselors of America. They are in Tampa Florida. You probably know this bu DE are actually fossilized remains that are mined from the ground. Common uses are as swimming pool filter aids and in the garden to ”cut up” insects, through the physical mechanism you mentioned. I think it is safe to take in capsulized form but I personally would not ingest anything that was not intended for human consumption... Hope this helps, I used to take 4 capsules morning ...

Definitely recommend the Burts Bees. I have horrible reactions to mosquito bites and it really works. I wear it everyday for ~5 months a year in the southeast U.S.   [End]

Shelley- I’ve been grinding a tablespoon or two each of flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds in my coffee grinder at night, pouring into a thermos and adding a few raisins and a sprinkle of cinammon. Then in the morning on the way out the door I boil some water and pour it in. I drink this for breakfast on the commute to work (I do have to keep shaking the thermos to keep the powder suspended). It’s sort of a mix between a hot tea and a (drinkable) oatmeal breakfast... Questions: 1) Does pouring the boiling water over the ground seeds affect the nutritional / other benefi ...

jackie, the only vegetable juice i can stomach is cucumber - and i love it. i would not think that would cause a problem with your candida but i’m not entirely certain... good luck   [End]

Not sure I can do this for 10 days. Have read some detox books and did a 2-day juice fast a few weekends ago to ”practice”. I am planning to go to the natural foods store tomorrow to get the maple syrup. Does it matter what brand or type? Also, why is the maple syrup necessary? If the body needs sugars for nourishment, why not just drink a freshly-juiced fruit or even eat a piece of fruit or two during the day? I’m sure there’s a reason, can anyone explain? I just finished a drink with 8 oz spring water, fresh juice of 1 lemon, and ~1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder, I think it tastes fin ...

Shelley, I take a detox bath about once a week, with sea salts and/or Epsom salts. I soak for about 15 minutes and then lie down and sweat. My question is, what does the salt really do besides make you sweat? Where I live, I can go sit outside for 20 minutes and I will sweat just as much. Does this do as good as the detox bath? Just curious, I work out in the yard all weekend and am wondering if I really need to do the detox baths, since I am continually drinking water and sweating it out all weekend... Thanks for any suggestions...   [End]

Healing: I read in one of your other posts tonight that you are working with Dr. Biamonte. He is also the doctor that I used several years ago, and so I imagine you are probably sending the same samples, etc. I highly recommend him, although I recall it was rather pricey. Brain fog was never one of my symptoms, so I can’t offer much there... Good luck!   [End]

healing, i’m no expert, but in my situation i cleared up my candida overgrowth several years ago, and i have been able to return to a ”normal” (lack of a better word) life. however i was on the strict candida diet for 6-7 months before my energy levels went up (and the candida overgrowth was deemed in-check by my nutritionist)... i admit i have lapsed back into some bad habits, but since going through the whole candida episode, i have learned about nutrition and really do not crave sweets at all any more. in fact, if i eat them i usually feel sick. this is completely opposite to ...

Shelley, I have been reading your forum and several cleansing / detox books in the past few months. I have no major health complaints (several minor) but I want to get back on track with my diet and lifestlye. A few years ago I did an extensive parasite cleanse / candida cleanse that was supervised by a nutritionist with great results. Since then I have lapsed back into a bad diet - caffeine, processed foods, refined sugars, etc. I wanted to do the Master Cleanse but have never done any kind of fasting before. Several of the books I have read say that you should start off w ...

Chloe- I really had never heard of candida but had started talking with a nutritionist relative to some skin problems that I was having... I completed a parasite cleanse and candida cleanse under the supervision of the nutritionist. These are the things I did / changes I made (some of which were related to the skin condition, I had no initial complaints about my digestion or energy levels - it wasn’t until AFTER I completed the program that I realized what a poor state of health I had been in...): 1. Candida diet for 6-7 months. I did a pretty good job - occasional che ...

Sorry for butting in - i read the site frequently but do not normally post... I thought I would mention that while completing a candida cleanse a few years ago, I passed both mucus and candida. Over the course of the several-month process, I believe that I passed the mucus earlier by a few months. Then later I passed the pure white candida that very closely resembled cotton balls, although mine was more stretched-out than in a ball shape (sorry). I did not have the internet back then although I was under the supervision of a nutritionist... Needless to say I was very surprised ...

I also wear my heart on my sleeve, so I know about that part of what you are talking about. It may be tiresome to those around you, but at least you don’t keep everything bottled up, which could be worse for your health... One thing that has helped me over the years is to realize that you need to enjoy the small, ordinary things in life - the things that you spend the most time doing. Even though I am a Christian, I have found a lot of uplifting and helpful phrases and teachings from books on Buddhism and other Eastern religions / schools of thought. Any Barnes & Noble, etc has tons ...

Dr. V - Just received my first order of foot pads today, and I had a few questions: 1. Is it safe to use the foot pad on my foot with titanium rods, screws, and wires / pins in my ankle? I broke my ankle this year and it had to be totally reconstructed. Any concerns here? 2. Also, can the foot pad increase circulation or do anything that would dislodge any existing blood clots? When I had the broken ankle, my foot was elevated for 3 months - I have seen commercials on TV recently about the dangers of blood clots, but none of my doctors had mentioned this possibility to me ...

Caroline, Yes, this is a real physical condition. I had this infection several years ago and beat it. It was an agonizing experience, and if you can encourage more scientic, objective research into this condition through your programme, you will be doing a very good thing for all sufferers past and present. My infection set in after an encounter with lice in a hotel room while traveling. The lice were eradicated within one day but the resulting infection remained. After a few months of seeing several doctors and dermatologists, I pursued help through a nutritionist. My mai ...
