As far as I know, also from experience of others finasteride may supress your autoimmune balance and can lead to candidosis. I have also found some points related to that in other posts.
Forgot to mention, as far as what I eat now, I eat basically anything but enjoy being a bit more fit after losing some weight from not eating so much crap. I do have an occasional beer or wine with no problems. I do drink caffeine now again and again, no issues.
hello mitch,
congratulations for your recovery, I hope I will follow your path.
I read your old posts and you are talking about thyroid.
The fact, for me, is I have blood results that show I am a little bit hypothyroid (t3 and t4 are low and sometimes below range, tsh is between 3 and 4).
In addition, I have the strange feeling of having something in my throat and sometimes it hurts (especially today as I went out last night and was completely drunk lol). I too have the impression of having a close throat and it make me difficult to breathe normally.
Did you have such symptoms ? Iām more and more convinced there is something wrong with my thyroid, and that it causes lots of other problms I have.
sorry to hijack yout thread!
I did have the feeling of an ache in my throat or closed throat. It was right where my thyroid is located. When I really pushed myself or my diet was junk I would really feel it and would end up massaging the ache.
Hi Mitch.
I studied some more on Candidosis and its vide variety of desease that it can do to its beholder. One of the major issues if candidosis reaches the systemic state is fucking up thyroid functions. It mimics hyperthyroidism which is dry skin, acne, no perspirationā¦ list goes onā¦
When you treat candida it takes up to a year to make it inactive. You have to follow a strict uncompromised diet, simply you have to avoid feeding this shit. Then it takes 2 more years to remove it from your body. So the whole process of getting back to normality takes 3 years.
It means no sugar, caffee, bread, rolls, milk and its by products. You also have to eat less and more vegitables. Turkey, chicken and some types of fish is generaly ok.
When I follow your protocol you wrote that it took you from 2003 when you realised what is going on up to 2007 to finaly feel completely normal.
This really shows a high propability that you where dealing with a post-farmaceutical fungal toxication which you treated for almost 4 yearsā¦ that would fit to the whole hypothesis.
I have another question to you.
Did you avoid milk in your regimen and its by products. I ask because I eat Greak salad almost every day now and I am not sure if FETA chees is not slowing down my detoxificationā¦ in other words I am not sure whether I feed my candida with feta or not.
If you could please also share some more experience on what you ate I would be very pleased.
Cheeersā¦
You said that candida mimics hyperthyroidism. I had hypo.
I did avoid milk products. It was tough and I was pretty screwed by this whole thing.
I did eat lots of veggies. I also did alot of brocholli, green peppers. I stayed away from lots of oats, nuts, Drank lots of juices. carrot juice. I did eat lot of turkey which took some time to acquire the taste. Stayed away from beef. Tuna was a weekly meal but fresh tuna, not canned. Salmon as well. Ate lots of salmon.
I will think of more and list them later
Mitch
Mitch. What is your blood type??
I have 0 Rh +, which is considered a āhunterā. Most types of meat are pleasent, except pork. Moderate levels of vegatables should be in my diet. Milk and its by products completely forbiden with an exception for feta and mozarella chees, which is kinda neutral.
I am not sure, I want to say type A. I will check to make sure. I know according to my blood type I wasnt supposed to eat a lot of meat.
Well, I just checked. I am type A.
So your profile would be:
Meat: ONLY TURKEY (all the rest is very bed for you, go and check it out:))
Fish: especialy those fat types like salmon are ok. (2-3 times a week)
Dairy: forbidden
Vegatables: lots of vegs (most important source of nutrients fo type A)
Bread: some types are forbidden
I did eat a lot of turkey and salmon. some tuna as well. I lessened my dairy intake as well. I dont eat a lot of bread to begin with.
Now where live its really tough to find turkey. Its mostly pork or chicken so I eat more veggies.
Mitch.
Did you have some kind of imbalance between morning and evening state of your mind.
I usually wake up refreshed now. Then right after breakfest I get some brain fog and libido decreases a lot. Then around midday my brain gets better and both my mental and physical condition balance itself that I can think of something else but this shit.
How long it takes to return to the normality when the whole day would be balancedā¦
As far as my state of mind goes, Ive got 3 young girl under 13 so Im in a constant fried state of mind. Seriously, I keep my breakfasts light, I used to have a heavy breakfast and it would affect my brain fog. I have a bigger lunch and light dinner if anything at all.
I usually have a piece of toast with tomato, olive oil, maybe some garlic, a habit I picked up living in spain.
I know in the past I really had to watch how much I ate and when otherwise my brain fog was bad.
Mitch. Did you ever consider having 5-alpha reductase type II deficiency??
Many of us due to reduced amount of hairloss, lipid problems (alergis), lowered libido, fatigue think it is the reason for our disorder and consider it irreversible.
TO be honest when I first realized what trouble I am going through that was my first idea too. I imagined it was due to enzymatic defficiency.
What d you think about that?
Cheers
Im not sure what you mean with a deficiency, can you explain??? If we had a deficiency of this would we not have had a hairloss problem? Isnt that what fin does, block this???
Yes you are right. But usually when this nightmare begins hairloss is somewhat reduced (at least it my case). Since I began to avoid any product with hidden SOY in it, my hairloss returns, which is something that I wouldnāt imagine to be happy about before:)
I wanted to check if you had some similar impressions and adressed it first to some enzymatic defficiencies.
Now I know that it is not an issue.
Mitch.
Tell me exacly which fruits should be ok.
Cheers.
I went through a stage where I ate lots of apples, oranges too. I stayed away from kiwi, strawberries.
I also ate lots of mangos. Some grapes but not too many, I think because the price got so outrageous.
Not a big fan of bananas.
I always had apples in my work truck for the trip to work and a few during the day.
Hi. Thanks for your answer.
How about fat. We have to consume some fat. Did you get it from olive oil, butterā¦ or something else?
Did you take any supplements,mineralsā¦etc?
I went through a stage where I ate lots of cashews but they werent good for my digestion. I ate meat but not a large amount. Maybe once a week.
Hi. I have to tell you that I had the most amazing medical consultation just yestreday. I took the whole bunch of blood tests and was logicaly explained what is going wrong with me. I will tell you that in details tomorrow. I am really impressed.
Mitch. During your mess, have you ever had chlamydia pneumoniae tests done?
