I posted a question to Shelley about this problem
and wanted to get feedback from this forum as well.
I have a fractured molar and it has a large amalgam
filling. The dentist wants to remove it, replace the
filling and crown the tooth.
* How important is the ”dam” and alternative air source?
When I questioned her about her protocol she says
they use water and high pressure suction. IS this
enough?
* Is the mercury leaking out because of the fracture?
* Should I just have the tooth pulled?
* Do crowns typically cause problems? [End]
[retrieve this message]
Went to the dentist tonight for a cleaning and she
discovered a fractured molor. It has a large amalgam
filling (of course!) and she recommended removal of
the filling and then a crown. Here are my concerns:
* Safe removal of the mercury. When I questioned her
about her procedure, she uses water and high pressure
vacuum. Doesn’t use a dam or alternative air source.
* Are crowns good ideas?
* BIG QUESTION: Can I just ignore this tooth? Not
do anything. Or have the tooth pulled?

Cortisol is a hormone that is produced by the body
(adrenal glands I think). The levels of cortisol rise
in response to stress.
The levels of cortisol are linked to fat storage in
your body. The more cortisol you have (if levels are

Go to doctor and get cortisol levels checked (blood

something like it for this.
Everyone is different though. I have a systemic candida
problem, but have never had thrush in my mouth and my
vaginal infections are minor and infrequent. And yet, I
have major candida elsewhere to contend with.
Yogurt (unswetened, no fruit) is okay. MAke sure it
has the live acidolphlous added. You’re smart to stay
away from sugar, dairy and wheat.
Good luck to you,

Hi shelley,
Bought some acv w/ mother and took a tablespoon the other
night. It was great! I know that we should take it in
enema form, but is it okay or advisable to take 1-2 T. daily?
I’ve been reading about it on the ACV forum, but wanted to
get your opinion. I’m trying to follow as many of your
suggestions as I can. Will make the moroccan chick tonight.
Bought some yogi teas, they smell yummy. It’s okay to have
tea even though most of my candida books advise agaisnt
tea or coffee?
I also got stevia packets. Do you think it;s safe to
use stevia occasionally? I’ ...

Was your blood tested for possible beta strep (group B)
infection ? This could be a reason for the miscarriage.
Rocephin is a powerful, broad spectrum antibiotic that
is given by IM (intramuscular)injection. Each shot of
Rocephin is equivalent to 30 doses of amoxicillin. So,
you got about 90 doses of amoxi if they gave you 3 injec-
tions. That’s a lot of antibiotics. I’m curious. Why
were the doctors giving you such high doeses of antibio-
tics? Were you running a high fever and they suspected
a major infection somewhere?
Tell me more about your situation, nikkij. [End]

I would like to try an ACV enema (my first) over this
long weekend, but was just wondering how fast does this
work? I’ve been reading the posts about enemas, but they
didn’t tell how fast this works. Do I need to take some-
thing prior to doing an enema?
Thanks for your help.

I was reading your post and was wondering where you
live? If that’s too personal a question, I apologize.
I live in the USA - in North Carolina - which is in
the southern part of the US.
I’ll be glad to send you epsom salts if you are having
a difficult time finding them where you live.

Raider,
What is MLM? Shelley didn’t recommend agaist threelac; she
just said that this type of probiotic was the carnivious
kind. I didn’t experience any die-off or really any obvious
benefit. so decided to stop taking it.
But what does MLM stand for?
Thanks, suzy [End]

I ordered ThreeLac in July 2004 and Global Health
required that I ”join” the company for 65.oo in order
to buy future orders of threelac at $49.95. I did
because of all the threelac hype, but after reading
Shelley’s opinion on it and assessing how this product
has made me feel, I threw away the remaining 10-12
packets unopened.
Why did the company bill me that amount in July if
it wasn’t supposed to start until October 1?

that you perceive that Global Health Trax is manipulating
consumers who are sick and desperate fo ...

Karlin,
Thanks for responding with the answer ! I’m concerned
about the cleansing, especially the flushing because some
of the people really had some bad, painful experiences.
Basically, I have lots of symptoms, digestive, muscular,
neuro. etc. I had a candida problem about 10 years ago and
its back but is more systemic.
I’ve never done organ cleansing and my diet has been bad
all my life, so I shouldn’t be surprised that it came back.
My gums are red and I have gingivitis; but found a really
great toothpaste at GNC last week. It’s natural and has

Last fall I noticed a vibration or buzzing sensation in the
center of my chest. It felt like a motor running on very
low. My dr. ordered heart and MRI of brain but they came
back normal.
The buzzing sensations continue and I’m more aware of them
at night because my body is still. The muscles in arms and
legs will twitch and spasm from time to time.
I just figured out that I have a candida problem and food
allergies as well. Could these all be connected?
Does anyone reading this post have similar problem? Please
respond.

I am newly diagnosed with candida and recently found this
curezone site. It’s great ! I have never done a liver
flush and have read all your stories with interest.
Here is my question: How are the stones from the liver
and gallbladder excreted? Through the urethra or by the
rectum?
Thanks for getting back to me.

I’ve never cleansed before and have been reading all these
reports from people cleansing and passing large stones that
were in their livers or gallbladders. Here is my question:
(which sounds stupid to even ask) ”How are the stones
excreted? Through the urethra or by the rectum?”
Hope someone can stop laughing long enough to reply to
me ! Thanks so much.

svenis,
It sounds like you know something about threelac that the
rest of us don’t. Share with us. I’ve been taking it since
July and haven’t really seen the results I had expected and
have been considering changing probiotics.
I know that the FDA pulled this product for a while to
investigate its safety but allowed it to be sold again.
What do you think?

Hi Shelleycat,
If you could answer the following five questions I would
greatly appreciate it. I’ve been reading all your suggestions
on curezone and came up with some questions.
1. Should I still take P&B shakes if I have difficulty
swallowing ? Everything gets stuck in my throat.
2. I’m very sensitive to caffeine - should I do the coffee
enema anyway ?
3. Do you recommend 3lac as a probiotic? What kind should
I get to put in plain yogurt ?
4. IF I take cod liver oil do I still have to take fish
oil in capsules?
5. Do you think vitamin b-12 inj ...

Hi Zelkyla,
I’m sorry that you’re feeling so badly. I’m just
getting started with my candida treatment program and
it’s kind of disheartening to hear everyone say how
difficult this thing is to beat. And all the supplements
are so very expensive.
I’ve haven’t done an enema but I guess I’ll do doing those
in the near future. I had a colonic last February and liked
the way it made me feel - really cleaned out and lighter.
How did you learn how to do an enema? I understand why you’d
be concerned about passing all that white cotton stuff and
wondering how much is left inside ...

Yes, I have noticed that my urine has a distinct,
foul smell. I first noticed this about 10 months

(what isn’t due to the candida problem!?).
An interesting story: I went to a massage therapist
(a new one) last December and towards the end of our session, our session, she was doing massage and reflexology on
my feet. She stopped the massage and told me that she
was getting a weird feeling as she massaged a certain
area on the sole of foot - the area that relates to
bladder. She wasn’’t even able to continue the mass ...

Madelle,
Thank you for responding. Lots of good suggestions from
you. There is no time for a walk at lunch - I have maybe
15 minutes to eat. Try to meditate some though. I have an
aide 1 hour in morning and 1 hour in afternoon. She’s often
pulled for other duties though. If I told my supervisor
(principal) about this, I could count on being transferred
to another school next school year. He wouldn;t be very
supportive.
I agree about soy. It doesn’t agree with me either. So, the

I was referring to the free test where you put your first
morning spit into a glass of water and see what happens. If
your candida is under control, the spit should remain floating
on top of the water for a good while. If it develops legs
and starts to dangle down into the water eventually settling
on the bottom, you have a candida problem. Or so the theory
goes. [End]

Last fall, I noticed that I had a vibration or shuddering
feeling in the center of my chest. It felt like a motor
running on low and was very distracting, especially at night.
Of course, I went to a doctor, and had several expensive
tests done: cardiac echocardiogram, MRI of the brain, carotid
artery ultrasound. All of these came back ”normal”.
The vibration in the chest has gone, but sometimes it does
come back there or in my head. When it’s in my head, it
feels like a mild electrical buzzing. Sometimes my left cheek
goes a little numb. Doc ruled out MS. Thank God.

I know stevia doesn’t have the same chemical make-up as
sugar, and I think it’s plant-based, so it is okay to use
in my candida treatment ?
Also, I’ve been using vegetable glycerin as a sweetener -
Gail Burton in her candida-free cookbook recommends it - but
it really has a funny taste. Anyone else use glycerin ? [End]
