michelle it is so difficult to tell what is the culprit when you are sensitive and allergic to many things. just a change in air can set off a reaction in your body which is usually an unpleasant feeling. i am very allergic to mold. the physical feeling i get from it is an irritation sometimes accompanied by itching. the heart palpitation inner shakiness was very new to me and would happen always at times when i took fish oil gels and other supplements in gelatin caps. for a period of 2 weeks i was off of the fish oil caps and taking other supplements in g-caps and still getting awful wei ...

dear michelle, in an earlier post you had said that you were getting internal shakiness after taking SF722. it is possible that you have an allergy to gelatin. SF722 is in gelatin capsules. gelatin contains glutamate - as in monosodium glutamate - MSG. this is an excitotoxin which can literally over-stimulate nerve and brain cells to death. some people are very allergic to gelatin. i was getting internal shakiness everytime i took fish oil in gel caps-3 or 4 caps at a time. i thought it might be an allergic reaction to the gelatin or fish oil, so i stopped those. i noticed that every ti ...

I did say colloidal silver in the eyes. They do it to infants so I figured that it was safe. I would not do it for long term though. For stress reduction - Magnesium 5oomg in morning & 5oomg at night is very calmimg. The b vitamins especially b6 & zinc. Deep breathing, yoga, or any kind of excercise will also do alot to calm the nerves. Taking baths in epsom salt at night will calm the entire body & stop the itching. Benadryl is great to stop an itching frenzy. Massage gently & lovingly with oil you feel most comfortable with. Shea butter is very moisturizing & non irritating for me. C ...

i think that candida is (or can be) an irritant to the whole system and therefore causes a nervous type of energy which affects how you think - at least it seems to be this way for me. a clear system = a clear mind. i believe that it also works the other way around. a clear mind = a clear system. mind and body work together. i have found that when i treat only the physical aspects of candida that it is a long hard road. the mind, or mental ”issues” must also be addressed. i always get candida overload after long bouts of mental stress. magnesium & b6 can help as can lots of physical excercise.

i think a white coated tongue is a sign of stagnant energy. fungus can grow where there is stagnation and darkness---like a pond of stagnant water sometimes has a coat of fungus on top. i think we candida sufferers need to get our energy circulating more clearly. that is why we need colonics & enzymes to move stuff for us - we have blocked energy. worry and micro-analyzing food intake and thinking about germs can help to further block an already disrupted flow of healthy energy.   [End]
