I have been taking candida cleanse pills for about a week now. Yesterday, I went to see the doctor for an ear infection and was prescribed ciprofloxacin. I am wondering if anybody knows if it's safe to take both of these at the same time? Should I discontinue the candida cleanse? Thanks.

a doctor committed malpractice against me. and his colleagues perpetuated it, almost killing me. i now have copd. from malpractice. when i catch a cold it never stays a cold. it always turns into bronchitis or pneumonia. i was a patient at world renowned national jewish center for respiratory and immunological disorders in denver, colorado for four years, as an outpatient.they thoroughly educate all their patients about their medical problems. but i still would get pneumonia or bronchitis from every cold. i started learning about vitamins and supplements. for most of my life i pooh poohed it. but , after all, modern medicine is only 200 years old. people have been healing with plants, vitamins and herbs since prehistory..
after seven years of trials i first had to get the candida albicans out of my system the doctor put into me with an injection. i listened to doug kaufmann of the your health channel. i did what he suggested. it took two bottles of caprylic acid,which i bought from the vitamin catalog. from the doctor i got a two week supply of diflucan and a month supply of nystatin. i added probiotic acidophilus, multi enzyme formula, psyllium husk caps, chickweed, all to cleanse my colon and restabilize the ph levelthat too many antibiotics knocked out of shape. i'm immune to many antibiotics now including power hitter antibiotics. because of the candida albicans in my system, when i caught a cold it would linger, ane i would suffer. it took two super power hitters of antibiotics at the same time to begin helping me. i had to go around wearing a pick line in my arm, in case i needed emergency steriod i'v's. finally i got the idea to ask my doctor about the possibility that candida albicans was the cause. i talked him into diflucan. within two days i began to heal. this was a few years before i began experimenting with vitamins and herbs. after i got rid of the candida albicans, i started the regimen to cleanse my colon. but i got tired of having to go to the emergency ward every time i got a cold. and the $50.00 copays were murder on my finances. within the last four years i think i've got the cure. here it is:
4,500mg. vitamin c
2- 400 i.u of vitamin e.
2- 8,000 iu of vitamin a
3- 200mcgs. selenium.
a potent 75 vitamin with chelated minerals
do this in the morning, but must be done as soon as you feel the first symptoms of a cold. drink plenty of water abd stay away from caffeine. it is a diuretic. in the evening take another 4,500 mgs of vitamin c. i will not promise this to work on every cold, but given my history, it should help a good many people. but you must take these as soon as you feel a cold coming on. if you wait until the cold get a firmer hold on you, you must take this regimen every day until the cold is gone.
IT DOESN NOT WORK ON THE FLU but i stock up in august, during the dog days of summer. also key to knocking out the cold, with this regimen, you should, ideally, shut down and stay in bed for the day, if you can. if you cannot, on cold days bundle up well. stay away from chills. and avoid stress as much as possible. drink plenty of water. nothing better has come around for me. when you can't breathe, nothing matters. i simply got tired of felling like that. i hope this can help some people. maybe not all, as everyone's systems are different, but it should help many others.
i agree! a cold is not a disease. it is a virus before i found the vitamins, i had pneumonia or bronchitis three times each year. these vitamins are immune boosters. this is why you need to start taking them as soon as you feel the cold coming on. and no, it is not a known cure. i discovered it out of necessity to keep from sinking into bronchitis or pneumonia. bronchitis and pneumonia can be either bacterial or viral. the vitamins will knock the bejesus out of your cold when you first feel the symptoms. because it gives you a strong group of immune boosters. if it is viral, it will help you. if it is bacterial you will know, if you get sicker fast, and coufgh up green sickly sweet mucous. you will get sicker and cough up more and more green stuff. go to the doctor to get antibiotics only if it is bacterial, not viral. after tantibiotics you will need probiotics to restabilze your ph level. most doctors only know about pharmaceuticals. drugs control disease vitamins cure.
i think i'd rather believe the good doctors at national jewish who diagnosed mer. yes you can get copd from malpractice you have no idea how long i was sick from that malpractice. long enough to damage the airsacs in my lungs. a high resolution lung ct, found the beginnings of emplysema in my lungs. and i saw the ct.and they explained it to me very well. there is also anotyher another way you can get emphysema. the hereditary form of it, but only one percent of one percent of all emphasemics have the hereditary form.
you know, if someone is fed poisonous chemicals over a long enough period of time, they can develop leukermia.
you cannot find emphysema with an exray until 50-60% of the lungs are gone. i high resolution lung ct found the beginning traces of emphysema in my lungs. my brother in law is a surtgeon. he looked at the ct and told me it would take 15-20 years for the emphysema to show up in an exray. i get winded walking short distances now. i use a hepa air purifier to help clean my air and hopefully slow down the destruction from emphysema. if my brother in law was right, in about 10 more years i will be on oxygen.
Nlvag, yes!!! my point exactly. colds do mutate fast. that is why i say you must take these vitamins as soon as you start to feel it first symptoms. if you wait long enough for the cold to kick you in the behind and you take these every day as long as you feel symptoms, it will minimize your suffering, ,because you are taking some powerful immune boosters. it is a cure if it makes the symptoms go away.. one thing to remember, though the fda won't like it?:
drugs control and illness. naturalpathic meds will heal.

sparta, i get colds from touching something that a sick person has touched. i started to get sick the other day. my mobility scooter broke down while i went to pick up my paycheck. the store is down the row from crest food store. i had to get my electric bill paid that day, and i was 1 1/2 miles from home. i got he scooter into crest food store, hopped on a store scooter and paid my bill. i had to pay medride to come get me and my broken scooter home. that evening i felt a sore throat starting.i started drowning in rhinitis. and coughing. bang!. i immediately took the vitamins and here i am two days later. i was well yesterday. vitamins and herbs cure. pharmaceutical drugs control.
those scooters in grocery stores are ridden by every tom, dick and harry and their dogs. every time i use one of those storte scooters i get sick. every time. but for the last two years, sick, no more. if i pick up a bacterial infection i'm screwed. but still i take the vitsmins for the immune boost to help with some of the symptoms. i get my antibiotics. while i take the antibiotics i double up on my probiotics. after i finish the antibiotics i return to normal on the probiotics.

nadia, i can tell you are not a doctor, because you do not know what you are talking about. any prolonged damage to the alviola sacs in the lungs can cause emphysema, as it did in my case. the high resolution ct that found it doesn't lie. but you did.. prolonged exposure to heavy air pollutants can cause emphysema. and then, ask any doctor about the 1% of 1% of emphysemics whose disease is hereditary. talk to my aunt vitina whose emplysema is in the advances stages, even though she never smoked a single puff. but her husband smoked cigars for years around her
in people, who claim thery never smoke around their kids, national jewish center researchers found a byproduct of nicotene in the kid's urine,called cotinine. if you smoke around your children they will have a 50% increased chance of developing childhood asthma before the age of five. this comes from the american lung association. both my parents were heavy smokers. my brother developed childhood.i, chronic bronchitis.
because my parents were heavy smokers, my brother developed childhood asthma, and i developed chronic bronchitis. i missed quite a few days of school because of chronic bronchitis. my brother outgrew his. i did not. so it wasn't a far leap for doctors who kepy me ill with severe upper respiratory infections,(for twoyears) i went through enogh of doctors defending the one who committed malpractice on me.they almost killed me.they left me with the beginnings of emphysema, as shows in the high resolution lung ct. i do not need to hear from one who doesn't even know what she's talking about, in defense of those charlatans. nadia..
Chi du jour, hmmmmm. better go back to nursing school. if any agent completely removes all symptoms that is a cure. but if you were trained in pharmaceutics, unless you got training in homeopathic cures you know nothing about homeopathic cures. many medical people resist homeopathics. do you want to know why? for one thing, most doctors are only trained in pharmaceutical medicine. the most inportant thing to remember, pharmaceutical drugs do not cure anything. they control disease. homeopathic, , natural cures cure. most importantly, doctors know if cures were found for every illness they'd be put out of business. the fda knows natural drugs, if they did't control the homeopathic industry with threats, alot of pharmaceutical companies would be put out of business.

I've suffered from musculoskeletal pain since 19 (I'm 42). Diagnosed with Graves Disease in 1992 at age 24. Went into remission and never had any permanent treatment.
About 2 months ago, the following symptoms occurred in this order:
1.Significant hairloss (in male pattern). I have an identical twin and he does not have this problem. I took Minoxidil/Proscar/Avodart and it came back, so I'm fine here now, but it was a symptom.
2.Edema in the right foot, traveled to calf, then both legs, then abdomen, then upper arms. Skin feels sunburn. On the left arm, there is a diffuse light rash. Right arem is fine.
3.My skin is in pain whereever it touches or presses. The pain is sharp and sunburn feeling.
4.My arms, legs, hands, and feet fall asleep, completely numb in the middle of the night.
5.I'm a male, but, my skin in the arms, legs, butt and abdomen look like I've had 3 kids - I have cellulite appearance, stretch marks, wrinkles and bumps (that are hard and tender) underneath the skin (mainly in my inner thighs). And before you call it fat, keep in mind, I am 5'9/142lbs, exercise and mostly vegetarian.
This has been going on for two months. I have done the Master Cleanse (I have thrush/Candida tongue) and about to start juicing.
I've been to the doctors and this is what comes up consistently:
*Elevated RF, Cortisol (went to normal on repeat), Aldosterone, FSH, Low Testosterone % (Total was fine). Nerve conduction study showed a muscle issue.
I've seen Neurologist, Cardiologist, Vascular, Hemotologist, Nephrologist, Primary, Dermatologist. Rheum wants me to do Prednisone. All the other specialists think it's inflammation of unknown origin. All the standard tests for autoimmune have shown nothing. Standard inflammation tests are normal - CRP, etc; Dermatologist wants to do biopsy. My new age friend wants me to eat raw for several years blaming it all on diet (but she's a mess herself, so....). My twin brother did steriods, eats whatever he wants and currently has no health issues.
I had pericarditis in 2006. My cardiologist believes it's all systemic. I am a very moody, anxious, ass and I used to think I was causing this by my personality, but, when I was on high dose prednisone for the pericarditis (almost died), my physical pain went away, but my mentality and personality changed to such a degree that I realized and I believe that I have chronic inflammation which causes my personality faults. I literally felt the way I did when I was 5 years old in my mind. I felt like I escaped my body and mind. That's how profound it was.
I don't want to take prednisone because of the side effects, but I think what's important is to find out why or what is causing this. My Rheumatologist says, "regardless of what is causing it, you need to treat it". I'm on the fence, wanting to taking it to stop this flare because I DON'T want this edema and skin breakdown to be permanent (I'm still single trying to be a stud, you know).
None of this is normal health. Any good advice, insight, feedback would be a blessing. Please only serious feedback. Thank you.

So heres a little background... I realized I probably have a problem with Candida (yeast) overgrowth due to antiobiotic use a while back, sinus infections, and a diet full of dairy, meat, and processed foods instead of fruits and vegetables (and low fiber).
Before I started any type of treatment for this, my "stools" were irregular, maybe 2 times in 3 days, and I would often either be constipated or have really loose, smelly diahrrea (sorry).
I first started on the Candida Diet and only ate berries, meat, vegetables, and everything else in extreme moderation (except for some alcohol on the weekends). I then started using Candida Clear by NOW, its a blend of potent anti-fungal herbs which got pretty good reviews. I started taking this to help with the Candida, and thought I would also do a colon cleanse concurrently to make sure there wasnt some kind of blockage making my candida worse. I used Oxy-Powder, which uses ozone (oxygen) to cleanse the digestive system. I think my bowels might really be screwed up though, because when I took the recomended dose (4) I didnt get much results. Once I upped it to 8 pills, I got the effects I had expected but while it said to expect 3 bowel movements a day, I still only got 1 or 2. I also take Dr. Ohhira's probiotics to help replenish the good baceria. Together, this approach led me to lose a lot of waterweight and my acne got MUCH better over a week or two.
After doing this for a while I decided to use a psyllium (fiber) based colon cleanser to see if it would work better than the oxy-powder. I am still taking Candida-fighting pills but now taking psyllium twice a day. I expected this to increase my bowel movements and maybe even pull out a few "ropes" like you see from Colonix (psyllium is the main ingredient in the system). None of this has happened - since I started taking the psyllium I have felt bloated around my midsection and clogged up. I've gone back to only having bowel movements of about 2 in 3 days.
Now my main question is: could the candida be why I am so clogged up? Could it be from eating too much meats? What should I do now? I just want to clear out my gut, and now I'm afraid the psyllium I thought would help is lodged in there and might not come out... what supplements could help?
