My mother had often been on antibiotics & did not know to replace her probiotics. She smoked during pregnancy. I was never breastfed & thus didn't get my initial inoculation. I was on many rounds of antibiotics as an infant, and at least twice every year after. So, I believe that my intestinal track never had the opportunity to be colonized with its essential L. acidophilus, B. bifidum, and B. longum probiotics.
My symptoms of candida overgrowth multiplied over the years: consistent ear / throat infections, many colds & chronic flu-like symptoms, mood swings, depression, severe insomnia, hypoglycemia, increased irritation with heat or humidity, chronic yeast infections & bacterial infections. At age 21 my body gave up: within a period of a month every muscle & joint in my body was in acute pain for no apparent reason. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. My 20’s were much worse than my teens. As the Candida overgrowth took over, the simpler symptoms of minor immune suppression like colds, flues & yeast infections gave way to more challenging chronic bladder infection, kidney infections, pneumonia, chronic fatigue and abdominal pain.
At age 11, a chiropractor recognized that I had Candida Albicans Overgrowth. Unfortunately, back then, the information on Candida poor at best. He simply gave me a list of foods to avoid & told me to take acidophilus. My mom bought me the acidophilus, but I was on my own with the diet change. Come on… what sugar addicted 11 year old is going to adhere to a strict Candida Albicans diet without help? Especially when the food prepared at home didn’t change! So, I had an idea of my problem & felt helpless to do anything about it. The acidophilus couldn’t help on it's own.
Because I had so many health challenges, I started researching nutrition in my early teens. I was learning that sugar fed Candida Albicans. So I would try to stop eating sweets - unknowing that candida overgrowth causes a physiological sugar addiction... But the candida reacted so strongly to its food supply being cut off that I would react like a PMS mad drug addict needing her fix until I gave in & ate sugar again. And so began my decent into psychological eating disorders so private, no one noticed the personal hell I was going through. I’m so happy that I was a fitness fanatic: I was able keep my body lean & strong despite this problem.
My late teens & early 20’s continued in this way: learn more, try it, break down, Candida got worse. I read every source of information I could find on treating Candida Albicans Overgrowth. Even when I completed what a particular cleanse said to do, it didn’t help.
I finally recognized that no one protocol would work because the majority of information & natural treatments for Candida Albicans were incomplete. Important knowledge & steps for full recovery & maintenance of health was missing. Heck, I hadn’t even come across any information that addressed Candida Albicans Overgrowth being Systemic. It's pretty hard to eliminate candida from your organs and brain tissue when the cleanse given to me only treats the intestines!
So I decided to get serious about researching Systemic candida overgrowth, put all the pieces of information together to make a protocol that works.
And now i freely share this information with everyone so that. hopefully, you don't have to suffer like I did.
