Supplements

I ended up in hospital last night because of drinking too much water. I had low electrolytes. I must have drank up to 6x24oz. 144 oz and more. I did this to wash out the candida. But I washed out potassium and magnesium. When I got to the hospital I called a staff member in Dr. Dan's office. It was 10 pm Saturday night and I left a message. I knew that the hospital would call Karabatos, my internist. My thyroid test was low. And Doc. K wants me to see him this week. I want to see Dr. Dan and Dr. Fernandez first. I have heard from both of these doctors, even though it is the weekend. I have gone over the list below verbally with Dr. F. He says that I should not take the OSR and the Kandida Plus together. That is my mistake. So this week we will get this straight with these doctors.
These are the supplements that I am taking recently
1) one OSR with one heart energy and one ACX stopped on 5/02 after speaking with Dr. F
2) KandidaPlus started taking approx. 3/05 along with two Kandida Plus sometimes up to six a day. I take one ATAK and one activator 1
3) I stopped taking Emotional wellness the week of 3/25 . I still take cognitive calming at 4 a day.
4) I was taking Yeast cleanse from Solaray up to 4 a day. This supplement has caprylic acid, Pau d’Arco grapefruit seed extract, and tea tree oil
5) I was taking  tea tree oil at 1000 mg a day

Yeast is found

The blood test for the yeast came back negative, but I went for the treatment anyway. I am on a supplement that is called Kandida Plus and I purchased an ebook by Linda Allen about the candida yeast. Both have helped immensely. When I eat anything with the least amount of sugar, I get depressed. But now more so. It seems that as I progress there are more white cells that fight the yeast released into the blood stream. As the yeast is killed the white cells are floating around awaiting for something to kill. When sugar is introduced more of the white cells are pouncing on the culprut and I feel it more. But I am healing. More up time than down.

Update post medication stoppage

I have been off medications now for 2 months. The going has been tough. But through support of supplements and the staff members at Yachter Chiropactic I have made it this far. I went off of the antidepressants cold turkey. After about one month the brain was getting very stressed. I called Dr. Dan Yachter and left a message. He called back within 2 hours and started the support that he said he would give. He got me in to the nutritionist as soon as possible and had Dr. F stop whatever he was doing and work with me to give me the support that I so desperately needed at the time.
Never have I been given the support to get off these drugs before. I have tried to do so six times since 1993. Once ending up in the hospital after reducing gradually for one year.
I have the implant still and it has saved me many times. But that is all that I am on, and the supplements. No drugs. I am chemical free at this time. No thyroid, no cholesterol medications either. Truly drug free.
Doctor Dan holds a series of lectures called the Extreme Make Over. I went off the medications before the EMO but with the support of the lectures and the culture of support that surrounded me I was able to come off the drugs. I know that I am not out of the window of danger yet. I have to prove to myself that this will work. So far it has. The following is an essay that I wrote at the end of the EMO.
I knew I would not lose a lot of weight on this EMO because I am toxic in lead and until I get some of that pulled out the weight can wait. But what I wanted to write about was the fact that I went off of all my antidepressants all at once, just before I started the EMO.
I had been on the antidepressants for eighteen years and on seventeen different ones during those years. Every doctor that I had during those years told me that I would be on the drugs all my life.
Only that no matter what drug I was on or combination of drugs I was unstable emotionally. Constant depression hung on me even when on three or four pill cocktails. I was told that there was no other way. I had to take the pills and maybe a little exercise would help. When one is that depressed one does not fill like moving any part of one's body. I would go to work half alive, sometimes contemplating suicide. I never got past the contemplating to the planning stage because the support that my husband and my art gave me, kept me going.
In 2008 I received a VNS implant. It stimulates the vagus nerve as it goes into the brain and causes serotonin to be produced. It was the first time in my life that I experienced joy. I a mean I experienced it at a different level than I had ever felt it before. Now I had something to fight for. Now I knew what life could be. But it took a mammogram finding a cyst in one of my breasts to shock me into trying even harder to lose weigh and get my health back. So I started correcting my diet. I lost 40 lbs in 6 months. I went gluten free and pulled other things out of my diet, But the depression was still there. Even with the VNS and three antidepressants.
Then a relative suggested Dr. Dan. He looked at my x-rays and determined that the curvature of the neck that he calls the Arch of Life was not curved at all. This in itself would have caused my depression. So we started the adjustments.
At the same time Dr. F started the detox from lead. I was feeling so good that I went cold turkey off the antidepressants. I did not tell any one. I lasted about 4 weeks until I had to call Dr Dan and said that I might have to go back on the drugs. He got me into Dr. F, who put me on some great supplements to balance the brain as it needed it at that time. I came back to near normal faster than any antidepressant had ever done for me. I have up and down days, mostly up now and with out the drugs that have ruled my life for eighteen years. When I needed support to just get through those tough days when coming off the antidepressants. the staff, and especially Dr. Dan were there to tell me I would, I could, do it. This support has meant the world to me. No doctor has supported me in my quest for health as he has. I know that I have come home to where God wants me to be with my health.
The next battle is the Candida (a yeast ) that I believe that I have. It causes depression and many other health problems. But I know that I will be able to conquer this problem with the guidance of Dr. Dan and his staff.
I received the results from the candida test and it was negative. I am still going to do the protocol for the yeast infection for I have information that leads me to think that the blood test is wrong. The spit test.
When on gets up in the morning, and before anything is put in one's mouth one spits into a clear glass of clean water. If the spit clumps and then strings downward or becomes cloudy one has candida. Mine did. For three days straight. Since I am so sensitive to every other problem (gluten,soy, milk,) I think that even just a little bit of the yeast would cause a problem. I can't eat even a little sugar, good or bad,without getting severely depressed even now.

The Nutritionist is Working!

When I started this blog I knew that I did not write enough to have a following. But I wrote to document what I thought would be substantial events that would mark my way to depression free life.
I have made several discoveries since I started with the nutritionist and chiropractor.
I have lead in my system. In order to detox I am on several things. Basically a lot of green foods. Herbs such as cilantro, turmeric. I eat a lot of garlic and onions.

Occasionally. I over do it, and pull out to much lead into the system and suffer greatly for it.
Bentonite clay is a natural clay, very large surface molecules and will bind the heavy metals to itself. Then as the fluids are increased as one drinks pure water the lead is washed out of the system and the body begins to heal. When sweat is added to the mix and one sweats profusely the toxins continue to pour out. I have a sauna suit which I wear after I take a hot bath.

Heating up the body core and making oneself sweat is central to the detox. But I always hated exercise. So twenty minute baths and then crawling into the plastic suit, then under a quilt makes me sweat. The hotter the bath the redder the feet, the better the sweat. Usually it helps a lot to do this.

Heavy Metals are stored deep within muscles and bones and when pulled out with clay, or other substances they re poison the body. The effect usually takes 3 to five days to get through. This is why detox is hard. But knowing that you have pulled out poison in order to rid yourself of it, withstanding the depression is easier.

Part of my depression was that I never knew why I was depressed.
I was never told:
You may have allergens
You may have inflammation in the body
Your body pH balance is wrong.
You may have Heavy Metals in your body
You may have fungus in the body.
You may have unknown infections in your body ( dental, in colon)
Your digestion may be screwed up, not being able to digest protein
Your immune system may be messed up. Immunity would stop problems like cancer, colds and other viruses that may be in your system.
You may have pesticides that are in your system.

Pesticides are neurotoxins for bugs. They were actually created during WWII to shoot at the enemy. They called it chemical
warfare. After the war the scientist and their companies wanted to continue to sell this poisonous crap so they marketed it so that bugs would be killed through damaging the nervous system. That's fine for the bugs. Not for humans
I also have problems with this. I tried to "bomb" the kitchen for roaches. I got very sick the next three days. Stupid me. I tried to clean up the aftermath with no gloves on the hands and no footwear.Walking in it barefoot. I had done this in the past. Don't we all walk in our homes with no footwear after a bug bomb? The residue stays on the furniture and carpet, well, forever, right? Absorption city occurred. Sickness in the form of intense anxiety and some depression occurred the very next day. This lasted for about 3 days.
I have been going through all of this list above for months and although I have down turns, usually through my own ignorance, I can use my brain more rationally now than before.

Chiropractic Care

Dr. Fernandez the nutritionist that practices with Dr. Yachter my chiropractor in Lake Mary about 25 miles north of me here in Orlando. I started with the nutritionist because the chiropractor suggested that I do so. I started the chiropractor on November 18th, 2009, my 54th birthday. 

Cilantro and Chlorella

Cilantro is a herb that is used in many spanish/latino dishes. But it is a powerful detoxifier of mercury and other metals from the body. Metal toxins cause inflammation which causes depression. Also metal toxins cause vision problems and headaches.
Chorella is a fresh water algae that chelates, or binds to metals in the body and helps to push the toxins out of the system.
Used together, these two are very powerful in pulling these metals out of bone, connective tissue, muscles and into the blood then into the elimination system.
Filtered Water and plenty of it to wash away the toxins. Also pay attention to getting the solid waste out. Do this with glycerin suppositories. People can use any good laxative that works for them. Glycerin suppositories work under an hour. It is done and over with.
A good read is the following link http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2174137/cliantro_for_mercury_and_heavy_metal.html?cat=68
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt's video which is mentioned in the above link is proof positive about the cilantro/ chlorella connection.

Letter to Edna

Thanks, I hope you mailed it to John's address. She will get it sooner than if to her own address.
I am still finding things that I am allergic to. I have a appointment with a nutritionist in a couple of weeks . No insurance for that. So pray it is money well spent. Cassie went to the same person and it helped her anxiety.
Work is finally picking up somewhat. Scary for a while. I am cooking for myself whole unprocessed foods and have completely changed my diet.
List of foods that I am allergic to or am sensitive to
Milk, eggs, soy, gluten, yeast, artficial sweetners, sugar, sugar alchols tomatos, cilantro.
I have a lot of inflammation in my body form all the allergies. I have read that mercury and heavy metal posioning can cause many allergies. This nutritionist can do a heavy metals toxicity panel on me. Or at least give me more info on the problem and how to deal with it.
