QUESTION #1
 
I have been treated multiple times for Candidiasis, yet it continues to return almost as fast as the medication is stopped? Do you have recommendations about treating Candidiasis? It seems to be more and more prevalent, and the doctor has prescribed antibiotics and anti-fungals, which don't seem to be working. What's the natural way out?
 
Thank you for any help you can give me!
Janice!
 
 
ANSWER
 
Thank you for the question Janice.
 
Yes I do have an answer!
 
I am getting a lot of Candidiasis questions lately. For those few who do not know what Candidiasis is, you and I can try to educate them as I can bet my last dollar that at least half of all of you reading this has it laying quietly there in your system waiting for just the right moment to become serious?
 
Candidiasis basically is a chronic yeast (Candida) infection, which can be both inside the body or the outer skin areas. We are all equipped with some yeast in our systems but when we are over run by it, there lies the problem. One of the reasons this condition is so common lies in the fact of sugar and fat filled diet so many Americans consume. Sugar and fats feed yeast into an overpopulation. It is also very common and mostly undiagnosed fact with individuals who have compromised immune systems, women who are pregnant or taking birth control pills, and especially people taking antibiotics are more prone to yeast infections. And that's quite a significant portion of the population. It doesn't always appear as the problem and isn't looked for by the traditional medical community until it becomes a vaginal yeast over abundance in women creating burning, pain and cottage cheese looking discharge.
 
Luckily, there is a lot you can do about it. First, cutting out refined and simple sugars, alcohol, processed fruit juice, and refined carbohydrates is a must until the culprit is brought under control and the good bacteria is brought back to keep it in check. 
 
Some individuals who experience an overgrowth of intestinal yeast significantly under-produce hydrochloric acid in their stomach. This affects the acid-alkaline balance of the entire gastrointestinal tract, leaving it lopsided on the alkaline side, which encourages the growth of yeast. This problem is usually brought about by the use of antacids and medications such as Nexium, Prilosec, Tums, etc!
 
It is imperative that you rebuild and keep a healthy intestinal ecosystem with probiotics and digestive enzymes "good" flora in your system which will kill over abundance and balance the yeast. Probiotic supplements is a everyday must when imbibing in sugar and/or alcohol and/or fat laden foods daily, or if antibiotics have been ingested at anytime. Next is to set about a kill all rogue Candida in your body with Ionic Silver Water - "3 Tablespoons three times a day for one week then 1 Tablespoon twice a day for the next two to three weeks" You did not say if the Candida is manifesting itself as a vaginal infection but I suppose it probably is if you have it so prevalent. In that instance you will need to do two or three Ionic Silver Water douches. These douche's are fantastic and work like a miracle cure, fast and effective. One usually works but I like to be thorough and recommend douching two or three times over a three day period with 1 Tablespoon of Ionic Silver Water in a quart of warm water. Douching is not a recommended procedure for female cleanliness, as it usually removes needed bacteria, but Silver Water does not destroy the good bacteria and in fact makes it healthier?
 
A bit of advice for you and those reading ? If you take an antibiotic you must supplement with probiotics throughout the entire process of taking them as and at least a week after to assure your bowel system and immune system can function properly for you?
 
I hope this bit of information helps and find you free of that horrific yeast soon!

QUESTION #2 Animal question!
 
Hello Lena,
 
I'm not sure if you can help with dogs but here goes. Jake, a Black Lab that is very dear to me has been diagnosed with Addisons disease, The Vet said he has all the sign, but can't be sure without a blood test. He was very sick for about a week, could hardly walk, throwing up etc. The vet said he had kidney failure and would die. He gave him antibiotics and an IV to flush his kidneys. Well it seemed to help a little, but Jake soon was back to square one. He was taken to the animal hospital and stayed two days. The vet said it wasn't kidney failure. He was given IV's for 2 days and a shot of percortine. It's been a few days and Jake seems to be fully recovering. The down side is Jake will need a percortine injection once a month for the rest of his life. This sounds like cortesone to me, and I know that is not a good thing to take. My question: is there a natural substance that would do the same thing? By the way, Jake is 3 years old.
 
Thanks,
 Jim
 
 
ANSWER:
 
Thanks for the question Jim. Poor thing. It's like watching a baby that can't tell you what's wrong. I don't know if he is too far along, hopefully not.

Dr. Garland says animals are really just little people and he has worked up a protocol that is proving to be very good at getting them back to health, if anything can. He has worked up different protocols for different pet problems and geared it to their weight...

Here's the one he recommends for Jake...

BE A GENIUS...BE PATIENT!

Is patience difficult for you? A man in Los Angeles, California was arrested for negligent discharge of a weapon after shooting his toilet bowl five times with a 38 caliber handgun. He claims that he just got upset. He couldn't take it any longer. His daughter had flushed a hairbrush earlier in the day and clogged the pipes. So he shot the offending toilet. I have no word on the toilet's condition, but the man's patience was long gone.

I once learned a valuable lesson about patience. I came across a box turtle while walking home one day. I brought him home to examine a little more closely. My intention was to keep him for a few hours and let him go.

I put the turtle down and waited for him to come out of his shell. He
didn't. I pulled up a chair and waited some more. He didn't budge. I
sang to the turtle. Still no appearance. I  told turtle stories. I coaxed him with food. But nothing worked.

Finally, I had to leave. So I barricaded the porch in case the turtle decided to leave, too. After all, I still hadn't gotten a closer look.

The turtle decided he had had enough. When I returned, the porch was empty. He apparently didn't think much of my barricade.

I learned a valuable lesson from that turtle. He just bided his time and waited. He wasn't much interested in food, songs or stories. He only wanted me to go away. So he patiently waited until I left. Then he left, too.

It?s been well said: ?Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is
genius.? Be a genius. Be patient.

Where, oh where,
Is dear little Nellie?
Where, oh where,
Is dear little Nellie?
Where, oh where,
Is dear little Nellie?
Way down yonder
In the pawpaw patch.
 
Come on, boys,
Let's go find her.
Come on, boys,
Let's go find her,
Come on, boys,
Let's go find her,
Way down yonder
In the pawpaw patch.
 
Picking up pawpaws,
Puttin' 'em in your pocket,
Picking up pawpaws,
Puttin' 'em in your pocket,
Picking up pawpaws,
Puttin' 'em in your pocket,
Way down yonder
In the pawpaw patch.

Paw Paw, pawpaw, Graviola and soursop, all the same. Is grown on a very small Graviola tree in the Amazon jungle and some of the Caribbean islands.  The pawpaw is also said to be native to the woodlands of the eastern U.S. The American Indian is credited with spreading the pawpaw across the eastern U.S. to eastern Kansas and Texas, and from the Great Lakes almost to the Gulf. The graviola tree (Annona muricata) produces the delicious fruit commonly called paw-paw, which is widely consumed by indigenous peoples.
 
Individual fruits weigh 5 to 16 ounces and are 3 to 6 inches in length. The larger sizes will appear plump, similar to the mango. The fruit usually has 10 to 14 seeds in two rows. The brownish to blackish seeds are shaped like lima beans, with a length of 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches. Pawpaw fruits often occur as clusters of up to nine individual fruits. The ripe fruit is soft and thin skinned.
 
A number of animals such as foxes, opossums, squirrels and raccoons will eat the fruit. But a great thing to grow around deer as goats, deer and rabbits will not eat the leaves or twigs. The Zebra Swallowtail butterfly's larvae feed exclusively on young, pawpaw foliage, but never in great numbers.
 
The skin of the green fruit usually lightens in color as it ripens and often develops blackish splotches which do not affect the flavor or edibility. The yellow flesh is custard like and highly nutritious. The best fruit has a complex, tropical flavor unlike any other temperate zone fruit. At present, the primary use of pawpaws is for fresh eating out of hand. The ripe fruit is very perishable with a shelf life of 2 or 3 days, but will keep up to 3 weeks if it is refrigerated at 40º - 45º F.
 
The name of this plant is sometimes spelled Papaw - and in that form is often confused with another fruit that sometimes goes by that name, the Papaya, Carica papaya. (The latter is in a totally different family than our Pawpaw, and can only grow in tropical areas.)
 
Native Americans used the pawpaw fruits as food and the bark for medicine and fish nets. Extracts of paw paw have been used as an emetic (inducing vomiting), by Eli Lilly in 1898.
 
Not only is the fruit tasty and healthy but the Pawpaw tree bark and twigs,  may well prove to be the ultimate cancer-fighter. Studies by the National Cancer Institute already show that Graviola extract is 10,000 times stronger than top chemotherapy drugs...
 
Yet its incredible precision hunts down cancer cells while leaving healthy cells completely alone! Graviola just seems to 'know' which cells to kill and which to avoid. There's no nausea, no hair loss, no weight loss, no weakening of the immune system.
 
Could this prove to be "The magic bullet" scientists have been seeking for so long. Dr. Garland uses the PawPaw as a cancer treatment in a portion of his cancer patients, with great results!!! But I'm not sure the pharmaceutical world will hone in on this inexpensive treatment!
 
The Pawpaw taste is a mix of banana, pineapple, and mango and contains a high level of amino acids, vitamins A and C, potassium, along with other nutrients still under study. According to the Purdue University Crop Fact Sheet, the Pawpaw is more nutritious than apples, peaches and grapes in most vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and food energy value. Nutrient rich in Vitamin A, C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Essential amino acids, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Cystine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Threonine, Tryptophan and Valine. Unless refrigerated, it lasts only two to three days but in the fridge it lasts up to three weeks. You can substitute pawpaws for bananas in many recipes including banana bread. Because of its custardy texture, it's ideal for drink mixes, baby food, and ice cream. Because of its blendability and aroma, it is used in cosmetics and skin products. According to one pawpaw expert on the Internet, "If you have tried them and don't like them, suspect your sample to have been unripe, or from an inferior tree.
 
Mashed paw paw also makes a great face mask and aids wound healing, while the liquid extract is made from the paw paw leaf and is a rich source of the antioxidant nutrients beta carotene and vitamin C, which explains its relevance in helping to prevent and treat cancer. Also several acetogenins have been isolated from Graviola (PawPaw tree) twigs shown in a chart at ACAM.
 
Its anti-tumor efficacy against human ovarian carcinoma in athymic mice were demonstrated in studies in 1993.  There have been over 100 scientific papers published on the chemistry and biology of the paw paw compounds.
 
Paw paw is not toxic according to studies with beagles (dogs). It appears to be impossible to 'overdose', 32 capsules 4x/day were non toxic because it caused vomiting.
 
In clinical trials with human research subjects, generally using one capsule 4x/day, some breast cancer patients experienced partial or complete tumor reduction.
 
In men with prostate cancer, some patients experienced subjective benefits as well as tumor reduction and PSA decreases. One patient even took half the suggested dose (mistakenly) and still had great results.
 
There were good results with lymphoma - Non Hodgkins where white cell counts were reduced, as were lymphocytes. A patient with stage IV lung cancer also had subjective and objective results.
 
Hundreds of human research subjects have used paw paw, with many types of tumors. Significant reductions in tumor sizes has been seen (verified by CT, etc.) There have been reductions in tumor antigen levels (PSA, CA27/29, CA125, alkaline phosphatase, etc.)
 
There have been very few unwanted effects, some itching and some nausea/vomiting but many have reported 'increased energy'. There was no hair loss, no GI bleeding, no bone marrow depression.
 
Benefits have been seen with cold sores, shingles, toe nail fungus, acne, athlete's foot, eczema and psoriasis.
 
So not only is PawPaw great eating but great medicine as well! I'm sure we will hear much more about this down the road...
