I’m writing because I have had a continuous problem with candida (female) AND toenail fungus. I had been prescribed Diflucan – and even multiple courses did nothing at all to improve the condition.
There is so much contradictory information about what feeds it, how to get rid of it, etc.. Laser treatment I’m sure will be temporary – but my nails look really nasty, thickened, and picking up from the nail bed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I’m soaking in vinegar, or apple cider vinegar, using eucalyptus, Tea tree oil…. I was thinking that coconut oil should probably be helpful- thinking about what growing things resist fungus where they grow.
[tab=30](here’s background info on me…. I’m 62 yo female; have Hashimoto’s, and I’m being treated with Armour thyroid. My temps are still not consistently getting higher than 98.0. I stopped taking estrogen after reading Peat- now just take progest-e. Hot flashes at night improved, but still have them.
The Armour thyroid has made my hair thicker, and stop falling out. And my high combined cholesterol (but still high) has gone down but my HDL is still decent (57). Trigylcerides still very high.
I’m taking pregnenolone, Progest –E; B12, D3, ubiquinol, and Magnesium Citrate (the only thing I can feel an immediate effect from- in a fire, I’d run back in to get it!). I also have a fast resting HR (105) without 1 BetaBlocker which I’ve taken for 15 years (never increased the minimum dose).
Also have this chronic problem: Pain in right side near liver was so bad that I went to the ER. Ultrasound showed no obvious problems (no ulcer, no gallstones, but “slightly fatty liver”). But I’ve been having problems with heartburn for a long time now.
Drink baking soda in my strained oj- Drinking it w/o baking soda used to KILL me! I use coconut oil liberally. Get HB from eating fats- icecream sits in my stomach for HOURS, and HB is miserable. I don’t eat much chicken/pork.n (sorry, hate liver- but will start making chicken liver… although RP says it’s not good for thyroid.. and see if it hurts my stomach). Have HB even after my stomach is empty. When I lay down at night, it gets bad. Even baby aspirin hurts. I don’t know if I have too little or too much stomach acid.
I’ve been gluten free, but I don’t feel ANY difference if I eat wheat/gluten or not. I’m at the point of giving it up being GF, because I can’t see depriving myself unless it’s making me feel better. (any recommendations here?) I MUST eat starch or my temperatures won't go up past 97.7.
Sorry if this is TMI- but so many of you would have probably made suggestions re my diet, so wanted to let you know… Thanks a bunch!
