Having worked as a practitioner specialising in candida for many years now it never ceases to amaze me how candida affects people in such diverse ways, as the following day’s work illustrates:
9.00 am and the first client of the day rings the bell. I open the door and it’s a full 5 seconds before I recognize her. What a difference! J-M (aged 45) consulted me two months ago having, as she put it “had candida for life”. She was suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, unable to work or go out very much and had almost total allergy syndrome, eating only chicken and potatoes. She had battled with her candida all her adult life and was pale, bowed, exhausted and miserable. In that first appointment muscle testing revealed imbalances to suggest an extremely high level of candida overgrowth, in fact it was off the end of my scale! So we identified a programme of herbs to support her de-toxifying organs and kill off the candida overgrowth. In the second appointment, once the programme of herbs and nutritional supplements was well under way, we were able to use muscle testing to identity foods that would not interfere with her body’s energies. She was therefore able to gradually introduce a more varied diet without having to use guess-work, something she was very grateful for as it meant she could be sure exactly what suited her body. So today, two months later, there she was at the front door looking completely different. She was upright, rosy cheeked, and vibrant. She fairly bounced in to the treatment room and told me how she was now able to get up every day and was even considering applying for jobs. Her partner was thrilled, and she was over the moon. We muscle tested and found the candida had completely gone and her food sensitivities were significantly reduced. She still needs to avoid some of the grains, coffee, sugar and cows’ milk products but she says it’s a small price to pay……..!
10.00 and a 13 year old girl comes for her first appointment with unexplained tummy pains, bloating and nausea. She’s had a whole battery of tests at her local hospital which revealed everything was normal so her Mother was getting desperate, particularly as the hospital had hinted that the pains might be psychosomatic. We needed the full hour and a quarter I allow for new clients to screen through her body looking for every conceivable imbalance which may be causing her symptoms. We found imbalances to suggest candida was present and that her ileo-caecal valve was inflamed and not functioning as it should, causing her discomfort. We used muscle testing to identify herbs which would suit her particular body bio-chemistry (everybody has a different bio-chemical make-up) to kill off the candida overgrowth and probiotics to help re-populate the gut with good bacteria. I used kinesiological techniques to re-balance the ileo-caecal valve and the tummy pains had gone by the end of the session. We set the next appointment for a month from today and I’ll look forward to hearing whether the treatment has relieved her symptoms in the long term.
11.15 and time to snatch a quick cup of green tea and listen to my messages before the next client.
11.30 An eight year old girl comes with her Mother for her second appointment. They initially consulted me because she had been diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and the doctor had commented that Ritalin would be necessary unless her behaviour improved. She was having 2 or 3 violent outbursts every week, often going into a rage and throwing chairs at school. So her Mother brought her to me to see whether anything could be done nutritionally as she’d read about how diet can affect mood. Muscle testing revealed imbalances to suggest candida as well as a need for zinc and fish oil, so I recommended a vibrational anti-candidal programme which I find works extremely well for children too young to take herbs. The programme is 6 weeks during which time I hadn’t heard from her so I was looking forward to hearing how she had got on. Her Mother told me in hushed tones, with tears in her eyes, how she had not had one outburst since starting the anti-candidal programme, and muscle testing revealed no imbalances to imply candida now. She was now well settled at school and her teacher had really noticed an improvement in her ability to focus and concentrate, as well as the dramatic change in her behaviour.
12.15 Lunch! Very welcome!
1.30 I’ve been treating the next client for the last 5 months. She initially consulted me because she’d been suffering from weeping, infected eczema all over her body since birth (she’s 42 ). She tried Chinese herbs some years ago, which relieved the eczema for 3 years before it returned with a vengeance. So she’d basically learnt to live with it. Muscle testing revealed imbalances to suggest that candida on the skin was a big factor in her eczema so we began a very gradual anti-candidal programme. When candida cells are killed off they split and release their toxic contents and this can make eczema very much worse, so it’s important to kill off the candida very slowly in such cases to avoid overloading the body with toxins. We also found through muscle testing that hyperoxiginated saline would be the remedy of choice to kill off the candida cells and my client began by taking one drop twice a day and worked up gradually over a month to 10 drops twice a day, with no worsening of the eczema. Today muscle testing indicated that the candida is still present but at a very low level, so she will continue with the hyperoxiginated saline at the same dosage. Her skin is the best it has ever been. She reported feeling so much better as a person as well, which was a bonus she didn’t expect.
2.15 The last client of the day is a lady coming for her third appointment who consulted me initially to improve her digestive health. She has bi-polar disease and is an out-patient at a local hospital and also sees a counsellor. During her first appointment we found imbalances to suggest a high level of candida overgrowth, and that food intolerance played an important role in her lack of well being. We used muscle testing to identify herbs to address her candida and identify her food intolerances. She felt better almost immediately with the treatment and couldn’t believe how well her digestion improved. A bonus of the treatment was that her mental health improved enormously too and she told me today that she wasn’t feeling the need to visit her counsellor any more and she’d been discharged from her bi-polar treatment at the hospital.
4.00 I sit down at the computer to do some work (writing this!) and prepare for my day leading a workshop in beginners’ kinesiology tomorrow. Thank you for sharing my day with me. I hope you found it as interesting as I do.
