Scientific Proof Celiac Is Curable


Posted by: citizen1ita on: October 8, 2009
In: Health/Diet 14 Comments
In 2005 or so I was diagnosed by stool test as positive for gluten intolerance, or Celiac. The
symptoms I had at the time were feelings of early fullness when eating and constipation, as well as
anxiety and overall poor health. I went on a gluten free diet which improved my symptoms almost
immediately. Was on this strict gluten free diet for 3 years until I came across an alternative energybased treatment for allergies called NAET. (naet.com.) Ive talked about NAET in a previous post.
After several treatments for a wide array of allergens I was re-tested by muscle testing and found to
be free of the gluten intolerance. Not scientific proof per say, but I started eating gluten again and
was free of the symptoms I had in the past.
Ive been eating gluten for a few years again now and just recently had an endoscopy for some other
stomach problems Ive been having. They took a biopsy (tissue sample) and tested for Celiac and
H.pylori. They both came back NEGATIVE. So to recap, in 2005 a stool test showed positive for
Celiac and in 2009, just this past month, I had a biopsy that was negative for Celiac. Proving that
Celiac is NOT an incurable disease, but a curable one!
(It is possible, I believe, to be cured by treatment with NAET or BioSET, but it could also be that
going off gluten for 3 years allowed my gut to heal. So, going off gluten for a time may be all one
needs and not necessarily to be off gluten forever. )

B-6 Helps Morning Sickness & An Update on Me

Candida H. pylori Recovery

Since my re-testing of H.pylori and Candida coming back as negative for both, Ive still been having
some stomach problems. The nausea has gone way down, but when I have it it seems to relate to
hypgoglycemia or low blood sugar. And it occurs in the morning still (but not as bad as before) and
usually only if I havent had enough sleep. Still not sleeping a full nights sleep. I attribute this to
A) I believe I have Adrenal Fatigue. Adrenal Fatigue causes fluctuations in blood sugar,
hypoglycemia, and the inability to sleep well. I believe my cortisol levels are reversed, but am
getting testing to confirm this.
B) Ive been tapering off anti-anxiety med and I think I may be suffering the withdrawal symptom
of rebound insomnia. Plus, who knows what else that the medicine can cause.
C) My recent endoscopy showed I have a small Hiatal Hernia which can cause nausea, acid reflux,
and therefore poor sleep. Gastritis also showed up on the test, though the doctor said it was
inactive. The biopsy (tissue sample) tested negative for H.pylori and negative for Celiac so heres
yet another confirmation of that.
Anyway, so I attribute my current symptoms (hypoglycemia, slight nausea, inability to sleep,
anxiety, fatigue during the day) to be caused by the Hiatal Hernia and the Adrenal Fatigue. By the
way, I read that Hiatal Hernia and Adrenal Fatigue usually go hand in hand. The H.pylori and
Candida problem is taken care of and now I have to focus on getting my adrenals, pituitary and this
hiatal hernia corrected. Its like I keep uncovering more layers to discover something elsebut I
think Im gettting to the bottom of it.
My chiropractor is working with me to correct the Hiatal Hernia with manual stimulation. Of
course, most medical doctors and gastro docs dont know that chiropractors can do this. Their
recommendations are purely for symptom reduction. And their only real solution is surgery though
thats very risky and not necessary in my case.
So heres a tip for you pregnant ladies out there: My brother- in- law told me the thing that helped
his wife when she had morning sickness when she was pregnant was the vitamin B-6. Once she
started taking it the nausea went away. But it has to be B-6 by itself, not B complex. You can take a
B complex but you need to take additional B-6. So I started using it and it has seemed to greatly
reduce the symptom. B-6 helps with sugar metabolism which is interesting. I strongly felt that the
nausea related to low blood sugar/hypoglycemia.

What Worked!

Heres what I took for H. pylori. All Natural. These are the product brands and names along with
the dosages my doctor had me take. The doctor who recommended this regimen to me was a
chiropractor who specialized in functional medicine, nutrition, etc. If you found a good
https://candidahpylorirecovery.wordpress.com/

chiropractor who also worked with nutrition, they may just carry these products. Call and find out.
Well, first ask if they have experience treating people with H. pylori. *This is not meant to be a
recommended dosage for your own condition and you should seek the advice of your doctor. *Note:
Apex Energetics products are intended to be used by those who are under the care and supervision
of a licensed health care professional.
Apex Energetics H-PLR (K-32) (the antibiotic) 1-2 capsules 3X day with meals, start with one work
up to two
(couldnt locate this product on the Apex Energetics website for some reason.)
Apex Energetics Gastro- ULC (contains Mastic Gum known for killing h. pylori, other herbs; this is
supposed to help heal the gut) 2 3 X day with each meal
Biotics Research Corporation BioDoph-7 Plus (probiotic, to re-populate good bacteria) 2 capsules 3X
day between meals
Apex Energetics TerrainZyme HCL Prozyme (Hydrochloric acid and digestive enzyme) 1-2 with
each meal
In addition, after I took these products and finished the bottles, I was still having symptoms so I
started taking Colloidal Silver per the recommendations of another chiropractor. I took a 10ppm
colloidal silver, 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) 2X day for 16 days. This doctor told me he uses the Apex
Energetics line too, but had better and faster results with the silver for H. pylori. Either way, I had
already taken the Apex Energetics and feel like they must have helped. The silver I took was made
from a local person. Just make sure and get one thats in an amber glass bottle. And if you purchase
a 500ppm or higher, obviously you would probably not take as much.
So, like I said: I re-tested for h.pylori with the urea breath test after having used these products. (I
waited at least a month) and the result was NEGATIVE. Proving that natural supplements can
eradicate H. pylori.

Negative for both H. pylori and Candida!

June 09 was diagnosed by Metametrix DNA stool test that I was POSITIVE for high amounts of H.
pylori. That was the bullseye. My answer. Showed NEGATIVE for candida. That was actually a
relief and that meant that my efforts to follow an anti-candida diet for about a year (diagnosed by
blood test positive for candida in Aug 08) paid off afterall.
Re-tested (after about a month or so of natural antibiotic treatment) for H. pylori using the Urea
Breath Test in Aug 09 and it came back NEGATIVE. Praise the Lord! The natural antibiotics
worked and I dont have to take those nasty pharamaceuticalsTake that, Prevpac!!! Re-tested

(while I was there, figured why not) with the same blood test that showed positive for Candida in
Aug 2008, and it came back NEGATIVE for candida. So now I had a second confirmation that I am
negative for systemic candida, by both stool and blood test. Praise the Lord! Take that, Nystatin and
Diflucan!
*As far as re-testing goes, you need to wait at least 4 weeks after youve taken your antibiotics
(natural or otherwise) to re-test so you dont get a false positive while the bug is still being cleansed
out of your system.
The Metametrix GI effects test that showed the h. pylori back in June 09 was ordered by my
chiropractor because we wanted a full view of any kind of bacteria, parasite, candida that might
show up. However, because they are like the only company that does this test, I had to wait a very
long 3 weeks to get my results back. Whereas a simple stool test from your average doctor or even
the urea breath test would have yielded faster results. But if you want to check for a variety of
microbes, the Metametrix is good for that, according to my doctor. I used the urea breath test to retest because I only needed to find out about h. pylori and thats all the urea breath test checks for.
Do not re-test by blood because according to one of my D.O.s youll always have an antibody
come up for it once youve had it.

The Diagnosis
Posted by: citizen1ita on: September 13, 2009
In: Health/Diet 1 Comment

After over a year of chronic nausea (and other hellish symptoms) I finally have my diagnosis. Its
scientifically proven by DNA testing. H. Pylori bacterial infection, amount: high. This would explain
my symptoms, even the anxiety and depression to an extent. Of course, with anything in the body
there is most always an emotional component and there most certainly is with me. But, thanks be to
God for an answer. Its NOT all in my head. Its NOT just anxiety. So there. (Will post more
specifically on H. Pylori and what Ive learned about it so far at a later time.)

Candida H. pylori Recovery

But what now? So Im on my round of treatment, natural antibiotics, meaning non-pharmaceutical


because pharmaceuticals, well, are toxic and can cause more harm than good. However, at this
stage, if I do not see much improvement, and I mean soon, I will go that route because as one doctor
(out of many Ive communicated with) has told me, you dont want to screw around with
h.pylori. And its true. I fear what it can become(please God dont let this get worse.)
Christ says, have no fear. I know that. But when fear has been the dominant emotion of your 25
years of life, it is very very hard to break that wall. But I believe in the God of Healing. I believe in
the God of Healing. I repeat to myself. I say the Jesus prayer when Iremember to. Still not good
enough.
I mostly wonder what Gods plan is for me. Why hasnt he just taken my life already? For some
reason he wants me alive still. What is the purpose of my life of suffering? Yes, God has been SO
merciful to me in so many ways, but I cant say in all honesty that Ive ever been healthy or
completely functional. If I am healed, when I am healed, will I go on to become some great doctor of
sorts that helps other people who are suffering in the way that I have? Perhaps my purpose is to
simply be me. (Oh, God, I hope not.) But it has to be a transformed me and hopefully, tragically,
closer to Jesus Christ.

How it all started


Posted by: citizen1ita on: September 12, 2009
In: Health/Diet 7 Comments
Here is a kind of chronological order of the symptoms I had as I had them, as I figure this will be the
easiest way for you to see if your own situation relates to mine.
Beginning: Have had tummy troubles since I was a kid. Was fed a largely processed diet of easy
quick foods like chicken nuggets, corn dogs, etc. And a lot of sugary foods: white flour, sugary
breakfast cereals.
Watched mom suffer panic attacks and also started having panic attacks myself.
Mom and moms dad had stomach ulcers. And therefore, most likely, h. pylori. Probably
inherited h. pylori from mom and candida overgrew from feeding on the sugary white-flour based
diet as well as the anxiety.
Anxiety attacks got worse. Phobias got worse. Was on Paxil for 3 years until it had to continually
be increased in dosage in order to work and I decided to get off it because I started developing bad
night sweats and loss of feeling.
In my late teens I developed a symptom where when I ate a single bite of food I would feel
full like I couldnt take another bite or it would make me sick.
would be constipated for several days.

Candida H. pylori Recovery

Started taking cleansing products (Colonix brand) and starting having colon hydrotherapy. This
only helped somewhat. (I recommend if you get go have a colonic done that you do it in conjunction
with taking a colon cleansing product like Colonix or another product that helps move things along.
Otherwise the colonic on its own may not do much.)
Was finally diagnosed by stool test to be gluten intolerant.
Went on a carefully watched, strict gluten free diet and was able to eat again. Symptoms
improved almost right away.
Started suffering other stomach problems. Was diagnosed by muscle testing to have some
kind of bacterial infection.
took a round of several bottles of homeopathic remedies. Saw no improvement. Went to another
chiropractor-kinesiologist and was muscle tested and found to have a bacterial infection. Second
person to say that. Took a product called Berbercap with Berberine and it seemed to improve my
gut symptoms for a while. Was told to eliminate sugar from diet.
started suspecting that I had candida from all the research I did. But never adhered to a strict anticandida diet because it just seemed too difficult.
-After 3 years of going gluten-free, I came across a technique called NAET which claimed to treat
food allergies. Started NAET and after several treatments was able to eat gluten again without the
symptoms I had before. My overall immune system also improved. Stopped losing so much hair
and smells didnt bother me as much. Overall felt a positive difference. Was eating gluten again.
Also started on a vegetarian diet for about a year. Which basically means a high-carb diet which
candida feeds on. Heavy on Grains, Beans, Soy, Fruit, Veggies, and Cheese. All healthy foods in and
of themselves, but still, high carb, lower protein and lower fat.
Started having hypoglycemia and increased anxiety along with it. Started feeling like I had
to eat every 2 or 3 hours or would feel ill.
Started waking up in the night around 3am-5am every single night feeling hungry and
hypoglycemic. Had to eat or couldnt go back to sleep. Would eat oatmeal (carbs) as my middle of
the night snack.
The waking up in the night continued for over a year. To this day that has not stopped. Cannot
sleep even on Clonazepam and other medicines that cause drowsiness.
Started having nausea at night, this would start around 3pm sometimes, sometimes 5pm. And
just get worse. Had bad anxiety attacks and nausea all night long.
Went to the ER and was given Ativan and an antacid. Even though I never experienced acid
stomach, only nausea. Started taking Ativan and quickly got addicted. Then had the worst anxiety
attacks ever as Ativan isnt meant to be on for multiple days in a row. You can wikipedia it. It has a
very short half-life and can stop being effective after just 7 days. You basically start having
withdrawals after being on it for just a short time. The bad anxiety was from the withdrawals. I was
able to taper off it by starting on clonazepam which Im still on. Clonazepam has a longer life. (But I
still want to taper off it as soon as Im ready.)

-Chronic nausea continued and I suffered a great deal over it. Finally was given a prescription
called Promethazine (Phenergan) and it gave me much needed relief. Have been taking it almost
every day since.
Was diagnosed by blood test in Aug 08 to have systemic candida. My suspicions were
confirmed. (However, this same blood test showed negative for h.pylori antibodies. Later learned
that the blood test for h.pylori isnt the most accurate way of testing it. Turned out I just didnt have
the antibodies) Started following an anti-candida diet as closely as I could which included eating
meat again, raising the amount of good fats, and good organic eggs, and veggies. (will post on anticandida diet later). This helped and gave me some better days and nights for a while.
Still had nausea off and on and still not able to sleep a full night.
In June 09 (almost a year later of having chronic nausea) by stool test (Metametrix DNA based) I
was diagnosed as having a high amount of H.pylori. Bullseye. This explained the morning
sickness a common symptom of h.pylori. The anti-candida diet alone was not going to take care
of the h.pylori problem. Though Im sure it was better than continuing the high carb (sugary)
vegetarian diet which only fed candida and bacteria. And after a year of the anti-candida diet it
didnt make since that I was still so ill just from candida. The h.pylori was the ticker.
Started a natural antibiotic regimen. Check my What Worked Post for that.

Help with Nausea, Morning Sickness, and Die Off


Posted by: citizen1ita on: September 12, 2009
In: Health/Diet | Tips 2 Comments
H. pylori is known to cause morning sickness. And of course candida can cause nausea too.
Killing off organisms causes die-off which can also make you feel sick.
My brother- in- law told me the thing that helped his wife when she had morning sickness when she
was pregnant was the vitamin B-6. Once she started taking it the nausea went away. But it has to be
B-6 by itself, not B complex. You can take a B complex but you need to take additional B-6. So I
started using it and it has seemed to help. B-6 helps with sugar metabolism which is interesting. I
strongly felt that the nausea related to low blood sugar/hypoglycemia.
The number one thing that has helped me with nausea has been the prescription anti-nausea med,
Promethazine (Phenergan). Wish I would have found it a long time ago! May be a drug but
sometimes its absolutely needed. Bonus, it helps calm you down. It can knock you out actually, but
I liked that side effect. * Not recommended for long-term use because this drug is also sometimes
prescribed as an anti-psychotic and sleep aid, and like sleeping aids can become addictive and cause
unwanted side effects including rebound insomnia, raised blood glucose, and more. Read the drug
information on Promethazine before taking it.

Slippery Elm in powder form. It has to be the powder. Take a tablespoon or so mixed in a little tiny
bit of hot water. It just be a paste-like consistency. Take this and it coats your throat and your entire
digestive tract. Sometimes I have to take this before I can take anything else or eat anything else. In
some countries they eat this as a food source so I dont think it matters how much you consume. Ive
consumed lots and I dont think it ever made me worse.
Eating organic eggs. Even if I had to plug my nose and eat them, I knew theyd always make me
feel better. There is something about them that just works. Its the combination of protein, fats, and
nutrients. Sometimes just eating helps with die off. Sometimes white rice was all I could do, but at
least it was something.
The Electrolyte drink: 8-16 oz purified water with 1/8 to 1/4 tsp celtic sea salt and juice of half
lemon.
Taking 1000mg of vit C 3 times a day or more.
Clove tea. I used ground clove in powder and steeped it in tea filter bags. About 1/2 tsp in a tea bag
or more. This also helped relax me for some reason.
Dry skin brushing. Get a natural bristle brush and brush in long slow strokes (not in circles)
starting at your feet up your legs. Then up your arms from your hands. Then your buttocks and
back. Over your shoulders and chest and towards your tummy. Do this morning and night before
your shower is best.
Enemas. Get an enema bag and you can do coffee enemas or clove tea enemas or just clear water
ones. I would do one every week.

Anti-Candida Diet in a Nutshell


Posted by: citizen1ita on: September 11, 2009
In: Health/Diet 4 Comments
Over the years Ive tried the typical anti-candida diet, which is extremely strict and difficult
depending on the particular diet. There are a few out there with some variations. Heres my opinion
on the subject. However, dont go just by what I say, go by how you feel and what your doctor
advises. For me, I just did the best I could. When I felt too sick to eat certain things, I would cheat
and eat white rice. Sometimes thats all I could do. The best anti-candida diet I have found out there,
and the most strict one Ive seen, is by a lady named Bee Wilder. Her website is completely
dedicated to candida and following her strict recommendations. For many, her diet has worked
wonders. For me, I did the best I could and ultimately found relief once I realized that the problem
was bigger than just candida and was diagnosed with h. pylori. PLEASE CHECK FOR H. PYLORI
IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE CANDIDA. H. PYLORI NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED RIGHT
AWAY. If you have candida, you just may have h. pylori too. I read somewhere that candida carries

Candida H. pylori Recovery

h. pylori, or vice versa, either way they go together a lot of the time. But according to my doctors,
you can follow the diet as strict as you can but if you have h. pylori you need to be taking stuff to
kill it. Same goes with Candida. Youve got to be killing it off. Its up to you whether you want to
believe that diet alone can cure your candida. For me, the supplements (listed in my post, What
worked) and the diet were what worked for me.
The basic diet I followed including some recommendations from Bees website, Healing Naturally:
Higher protein (fatter meats better) including eating quite a lot of organic eggs
higher good fats including adding real butter to just about everything, extra virgin olive oil. I
started taking olive oil by 1/2 to 1 tablespoon after meals (Id just plug my nose and down it).
Working up to 3 tablespoons a day. Make sure and take a good enzyme that includes lipase to
digest fat.
low glycemic veggies like asparagus, greens, zucchini.
Bees electrolyte drink helped me immensely! Its basically 8-16 oz purified water with 1/8 to 1/4
tsp good celtic sea salt and the juice of half a lemon. I drank this all the time and Im sure it helped
with the nausea.
I also ate rice when I felt the need to.
I cut out gluten about 99% but at times it couldnt be avoided. This is my point about doing the best
you can. And look, Im negative for systemic candida now.
At times I even cheated with beans even though they are a high starch because I just couldnt eat
meat all the time. Sometimes I suffered for it other times, not. The thing that has ALWAYS made
me feel better is eating organic eggs. Always ate them soft scrambled too, not overcooked to
keep the nutrients. Thats just me. If you check out Bees website she has a whole lot of information
(an overwhelming amount) about the goodness of eggs. She recommends raw eggs and in
particular a raw egg drink recipe she has on her site. I tried it a few times and it was tasty, but
never got over the raw egg thing enough to drink it consistently. Though it never made me feel sick.
I did decrease the amounts of coconut oil and eggs in the drink.
A note on Coconut oil. Some people feel that coconut oil is a crucial part of the anti-candida diet.
For me, I just couldnt tolerate it much. Do what you can. Bee recommends working up to 5-6
tablespoons of coconut oil a day BEFORE going on any natural antifungal like oregano or garlic,
but I never got even close to that and was able to eventually take the supplements in my What
Worked post that included oregano, etc. If youre going to try coconut oil, do a very small amount
at a time at first and work up to more. Like 1/4 to 1/2 tsp with meals. Bee recommends this also.
I started taking the basic nutritional supplements listed on Bees website. Basically I added 1000 mg
of vit C 3 times a day (I believe this helped a lot with the die-off) vit E, a good Cal/Mag supplement
2 times a day, A good B-complex 2 times a day, in addition to taking ginger for my tummy. If you
want to see a more detailed list of supplements check out her website.
I would personally recommend checking out her website. If you want to join her support group she
may be able to help you. I was on her list for a long time and she always answered my questions.
But, if you dont follow her diet strictly she will get onto you for that. She has her reasons, and many
are good. I do not personally agree with everything she advises. But she did help me some.

Candida H. pylori Recovery

I definitely agree with her article on how to start curing candida in steps.
1. eliminate sugar from your diet
2. eliminate gluten and yeast
3. gradually add more higher fat meats and good fat to your diet
4. Stay on the diet until you feel at least a little better, one or two months
5. Take the antifungals (like the ones in my What Worked post or a good oregano oil
supplement. As far as oregano oil, Young Living Essential Oils is a very trustworthy brand and you
get a lot for your money. However you have to buy the capsules and make them up yourself.) only
once youve been on the diet for at least a while, like a month or two. The point is, if you take them
too soon you may experience a worse die-off reaction than you would if you just let the diet work for
a while first. This was definitely true for me. It was several months I was on the diet before I got the
positive for h. pylori and starting taking those supplements which were for h. pylori but also worked
to kill candida too.
A last note on probiotics. Some say that you are wasting your money to take them before youve
used the antifungals. But, in my opinion, and my doctors, you might be better off taking them right
away because its good to constantly be building up that good gut flora. The one I took is in my
What Worked post.
I took Threelac a few times over the years and the first time I tried it I thought it made a big
difference, but it didnt totally cure me. Maybe if I had kept with it back then it would have
eventually worked. Who knows. Its worth trying. It never made me worse. Later I tried it again and
never saw much of a difference. If you want to try it I know a lady who sells it cheaper than most
and offers free shipping and a money-back guarantee. Contact me if you want her info.

How To Find A Good Doctor


Posted by: citizen1ita on: September 10, 2009
In: Health/Diet | Tips 5 Comments
Here is the first of a series of posts Id like to do specifically on what Ive been learning while going
through a several-year long struggle with gastrointestinal, emotional, and other health issues.
Specifically what has worked and not worked to get me where I am, which is beginning to see a
change for the better. Hopefully this information will help someone else.
Lets say you dont have a primary care physician, or dont like the one you do have and want to
switch, but cant get a personal recommendation from a friend or relative. If you have health
insurance and find yourself looking for a doctor on say, your insurance websites directory of
physicians, the first thing I would do is
https://candidahpylorirecovery.wordpress.com/

10/15

28/1/2015

Candida H. pylori Recovery

#1 Decide whether you want to go to an M.D. or a D.O. Both are physicians who have had the same
amount of training and who can prescribe medication. The difference in an M.D. and a D.O. is that
a D.O. can do everything an M.D. does but also has ADDITIONAL training in osteopathic
manipulative medicine, a form of therapy that uses physical contact used to improve the impaired
or altered function of the musculo-skeletal system. They can do adjustments similar to, but not
exactly the same as, chiropractors. In my experience, D.O.s tend to have a more open mind when it
comes to alternative forms of therapy, such as using natural supplements, homeopathy, or Muscle
Response Testing. If youre going to pay a copay to a doctor, you may as well go to the one with the
most training and wider knowledge. That would be the D.O.
#2 google that persons name and see if they have a website and/or any google or other consumer
reviews. If a doctor doesnt have a website, this could be a bad or a good sign. On one hand, most
doctors with expensive looking websites may be more expensive and may not even accept insurance
anymore, but only private pay, because they can make more money that way. You have to call and
confirm that they still accept your insurance. Generally it is good to have a website for something to
go by; hopefully their site gives information on what sort of services they provide and what sort of
conditions they have experience and success in treating, their philosophy, etc. Not to mention you
can see what they look like if they have a pic up, and in my experience younger doctors are usually
more up-to-date and open-minded when it comes to more alternative forms of treatment. Though,
this is not always the case and my current D.O. is an older man and hes great. He also doesnt have
a website.
#3 If you cant locate a website, call the doctor up and notice whether a kind and friendly voice
answers and is willing to answer your questions, or whether a more stern and careless voice answers,
sounds hurried, and asks if you will hold. If the latter, this may be a red flag. For one, they are
clearly a super busy office and you may have a harder time getting in for appointments and longer
wait times when you get there. Secondly, if they arent friendly and willing to answer your
questions this may not be a good office to deal with. Or, the fact that they are busy may be a sign
that this is a good doctor in high demand. Still, the voice should be nice.
#4 When you get the friendly voice on the phone willing to answer questions, here are the questions
you need to ask. Cater these to your needs, but the first few are pretty crucial. The front desk person
may not have all the answers to these questions, but still ask and hopefully they will be willing to get
the answers and call you back.
A) Does Dr._____ have a website?
B) Is this a very large or small office?
C) Does Dr. _____ treat systemic candida? (Will explain this in a sec)
D) Does Dr. ______ treat allergies?
E) Does Dr. ______ treat H. pylori?
F) Does Dr._______ use any natural treatments like homeopathy?
G) Does Dr._______ use Muscle Testing? (a doctor who uses this can often find answers or
indications when youve had trouble finding answers any other way)
H) Does Dr. ______ have success with treating (whatever your condition is-if you know it)?
I) Does Dr. _______ do pelvic exams in the office or would you have to be referred to someone else?
(if you are a woman)

never even examined me osteopathically.)

Candida H. pylori Recovery

The reason you want to find out if this doctor treats systemic candida or h.pylori is that if this doctor
doesnt really know much about these conditions, chances are they are missing one of these
diagnosis in a lot of cases. So many people have candida or h.pylori or both and dont even know it.
Also, more natural and alternative doctors know more about candida than do most traditional
western physicians. Its just better if they know about it because candida can cause so many other
conditions, especially if youre suffering with any kind of gastrointestinal issues. The same goes for
H.pylori.
Hopefully youll be able to get most of these questions answered without being brushed off.
#5 If you can, try to find more than one D.O. or M.D. to visit so that you can choose who you want
to start seeing after getting more than one perspective. See two or three and find out which one is
more attentive, the better listener, the one who asks you the most questions, and go to that one.
Choose the doctor with a balance of both traditional medicine and natural/alternative medicine
techniques.
Good Luck. If you need a recommendation for a practitioner (D.O., D.O.C., D.O.M, Neurologist,
etc.)in the Austin area, let me know. I may have one.

How To Find A Good Therapist


Posted by: citizen1ita on: September 9, 2009

This is more simple than finding a good physician. (See previous post) First of all, a licensed
therapist is someone who can provide ongoing talk therapy. Most licensed therapists are not also
M.D.s, meaning they cant prescribe medications for mood or mental disorders. If you need a
Psychiatrist, an M.D., for medication management, than see my previous post. Personally, I dont
go to my Psychiatrist anymore because all they did was prescribe my anti-anxiety medication.
Thats all they could do. Well, guess what, a D.O. or any other M.D. can do the same thing. If you
actually need emotional treatment other that just medication, you need to find a good licensed
therapist.
However, there are other more alternative forms of emotional therapies out there that have worked
for me, and arent performed by licensed therapists and Ill list those at the end of this post.
After youve done a search for licensed therapists in your area, or located them on your insurances
website, check them out online. See if they have reviews or a website. If they have a website, you can
usually find out all you need to know about them (without meeting them in person) there.
If no website, or even if they do have a website, call or email them and ask:
#1 Do you have a lot of success treating (whatever your emotional issue is)?

#2 Do you do EMDR? If so, do you use the eye-movement, tapping, or binaural beats? (Hopefully
they will answer that they use any and all of them, depending on the client)
#3 Are you familiar with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and do you use it?
#4 Do you use hypnotherapy?
#5 How many years have you been in practice? (In this case, as long as they know the above forms
of therapy, the more years the better.)
Most therapists use cognitive behavior therapy and other traditional forms of therapy, but
nowadays a lot of therapists have training in the above forms of therapy too. Find someone who
does. EMDR especially.
You should be able to speak personally on the phone with the therapist to get these questions
answered, and they should have a kind and willing manner. You should like their voice.
Try to schedule a visit with more than one therapist so you can decide who youd like to start seeing
after meeting with each of them and getting a feel for their personality and their approach, to see
who is a good match for you.
Other non-licensed practitioners who do emotional work are:
lay hypnotists (one organization is the IMDHA)
Bodytalk practitioners (Bodytalk Systems)
EFT practitioners (emofree.com )
I have found relief with Bodytalk and with self-hypnosis. Though many people swear by EFT. My
therapist has had success with clients using EFT, but weve not tried it together yet. I havent had
much success with EFT on my own for my particular issues. At this time EMDR has given me the
most resolution and the licensed therapist I go to does EMDR, hypnotherapy, EFT, and cognitive
therapy.
Good luck.

Help for Food Allergies

Gonna just make this as brief as possible. Visit the respective websites for more info. NAET is an
energy-based technique which treats, yes, even cures, food allergies or food intolerances. Check out
their website for more info and to locate a practitioner. I have gone through the first basic 15
treatments and you might have to too. Say Goodbye To Illness is a must read on the whole

technique and treatments, etc. written by the lady who developed the technique, Dr. Devi S.
Nambudripad. Contact me if you have any questions since Ive been through it. The treatments
involve avoiding the allergen for 25 hours. This was very hard for me at times. Especially when
youre treating an intolerance to iron for example. Airborne allergies are even harder and sometimes
unavoidable. Check out another technique called BioSET which came after NAET but was modified
so you dont have to do the avoidances. If I were you, Id try to find someone who does BioSET and
do that instead because its easier if you dont have to do the avoidance, and if its impossible to
avoid it, with NAET the treatment might not last, but with BioSET it would. I went through 15 or so
treatments with NAET and it helped my overall health. Very glad I did it. Then I found BioSET and
finally was able to be treated for mold successfully. Couldnt treat mold successfully with NAET
because I cant avoid it; its all around here in moist central Texas. The book on BioSET is called The
Food Allergy Cure by Dr. Ellen Cutler. Now, you can either go to someone who is trained in these
techniques and after so many treatments your practitioner can show you how to self-treat at home
or you can check out a third website: Allergy Antidotes for all the above information from each of
those techniques and more. With Allergy Antidotes you can learn to self treat. If you want to buy
vial kits you can on the Allergy Antidotes website or for individual vials at a cheaper price check out
Ergopathics.
Sorry to confuse you with so many different techniques. I recommend going to a trained
practicioner before doing it on your own. There is a yahoo group called Allergy & Illness Free. If you
join it you can get all your questions answered plus tips and stuff while you go through the
treatments.
It worked to cure me of my gluten intolerance and many other intolerances, so try it! It might work
for you!

Cure for Motion Sickness & Balance Problems


Posted by: citizen1ita on: September 7, 2009
In: Health/Diet | Tips Leave a Comment
For years Ive been looking for a cure for motion sensitivity. It seems to me that when you do a
google search the only things that come up are common sense recommendations to avoid the
situations that cause the motion sensitivity, sit in the front seat of the car and keep your eye on the
horizon, or take Dramamine, ginger caps, press on those acupuncture points on the wrist. Yeah,
these things may help, but Ive wondered: Isnt this a problem that can be corrected? Is there a
solution out there?
And, apparantly, there is! So far, I have not been cured because I havent been focusing on this
aspect of my health, nor do I have the money to be seeing the doctor that can help me with this
problem on a consistent basis. But, once Im able to, I will let you all know once Im cured.

First off, let me preface this by saying that Ive read that hypoglycemia can make motion sensitivity
worse, which is interesting. Its like it all goes back to sugar. (Like with candida, bacteria, etc.) An
imbalance of blood sugar. (Low blood sugar which is usually caused by too much sugar in the diet
which causes extreme blood sugar spikes.) Though I dont think balancing blood sugar will solve the
whole issue.
My acupunturist who does NAET also has treated people with motion sensitivity and vertigo with
NAET. So thats something to look into too. He said that its usually caused by a mineral imbalance
(caused by an intolerance/allergy to a mineral).
More to the point, Ive been referred to a Chiropractic Neurologist by my regular chiropractor.
Chiropractic Neurologists have specific training in neurological treatment techniques using motor
exercises and adjustments that can be used to treat all sorts of neurological conditions, including
motion sensitivity, vertigo, dizziness, Autism, MS, learning disabilities, stroke, Fibromyalgia,
Chronic Fatigue, and more. Check out Dr. David Clarks website: Northlake Chiropractic &
Wellness in Dallas, Texas for more information and videos on Chiropractic Neurology. There does
seem to be a cure, or at least real help. To locate a Chiropractic Neurologist in your area check the
American Chiropractic Neurology Board.
Ive been to a Chiropractic Neurologist- not Dr. Clark- hes out of my area, but Ive seen a good one,
but only once or twice. By motor testing I was found to have a weak left cerebellum and prescribed
specific motor exercises to strengthen that part of my brain. So far I have not been consistent with
this but as soon as I am and I go back to this doctor, Ill post an update on any progress. I do believe
in it. I do believe there is a future for me without motion sensitivity where I can hopefully do things
like travel without fear of feeling ill.
