Joni, so sorry to hear of your health probs.
I will let others give you more details on CS, but I would definitely make
and take it, whatever any others outside might say, even if it were only to
lower the bug-load in the body. A lot of us make up a spray with CS, sea
salt, xylitol, DMSO, all things that can be looked up on archives and search
engines. This can be used on skin or in any orifice. We also inhale it via
a nebulizer.
Yesterday I had a look at a site which addresses a lot of the things you
mention, although it is supposedly about depression and magnesium. It's
very long, but worth a read. The author also recommends virgin coconut oil
for
fungus, candida, etc. http://www.coldcure.com/html/dep.html#codex and you
may have noticed recent postings on coconut oil.
I will append some quotes below to give an idea, but it is over 100
pages-worth on the article page alone, let alone links.
Some other things I would definitely do given my time over again: colonic
irrigation - that could get rid of a lot of toxic waste, and someone wrote
once that they actually saw what looked like clumps of cotton wool passing,
which they assumed was candida. Maybe, nice thought. Something was
freeloading inside.
Gamma globulin I would feel was too dangerous. I would
run a mile. Even if it were not foreign proteins in the substance itself,
and other people's DNA too, no doubt, it could easily have some preservative
in it that might affect you, such as thimerosal - how would one ever know?
Another thing I would do all over again, as it has pulled me out of the pit,
is computer assisted dermal screening, which works out what you need, and
then with some electromagnetic process embeds the appropriate homeopathic
frequencies on a bottle of water, so that it has the same effect as if it
had been prepared to the exactly right potency for your particular needs.
If you missed recent correspondence, let me know.
Also, the people on the Rife discussion group have tallked a lot about
Lyme - there may be someone near you who can help.

The virgin coconut oil is definitely worth looking into; you can google that
alongside your chosen "problem".

http://www.coldcure.com/html/dep.html#codex : "I have found some
evidence that intestinal yeast overgrowth will cause the kidneys to be
unable to recycle taurine, with taurine being lost into the urine. Yeast
overgrowth of the intestines is also blamed for many of the arthritic-like
complaints often found with scleritis, and is the likely cause of scleritis.
Consequently, any effective treatment for Candida yeast should also prevent
scleritis. I have found that coconut oil and garlic are effective,
particularly when used with taurine. Taurine in these doses should not be
considered nutritional in nature, but medicinal, and I don't recommend it.
The human body only contains 70 grams of taurine, and supplements of 24
grams per day seem much too high and I took that dosage for only several
weeks. Actually, I think that anything that treats inflammatory or irritable
bowel disorders would be beneficial in treating or preventing scleritis.
However, Kefir is the absolute cat's meow for preventing and curing
scleritis. Since I started Kefir (I backed off garlic and coconut oil
completely), I have had zero incidence of scleritis (for many months now),
thus showing, IMHO, that taurine preservation by elimination of Candida
Albicans using Kefir is vital to the cure for scleritis.
Dry mouth and dry eyes are some of the most irritating side effects
of many prescription anti-depressant drugs (and some other drugs). Dry mouth
and dry eyes are usually symptoms of magnesium (and possibly potassium and
taurine) deficiency. Dry mouth and dry eyes are very easily treated with
oral ionizable magnesium - the nutrient your body is likely starving for.
Use of synthetic tears and other simplistic wetting techniques including
chewing gum are not solving the nutritional deficits that cause the problem.
Magnesium and high potassium content foods such as bananas, potatoes and
other whole foods are greatly preferable to drugs. I have found that my
health improved greatly simply by using balanced potassium/sodium salts
[Morton's Lite Salt - which contains iodide (iodine)] rather than by using
plain table salt (sodium chloride). Use of plain table salt can easily lead
to imbalances between potassium and sodium.
Dry mouth and dry eyes, particularly when coupled with insomnia often
precede other better-known magnesium deficiency symptoms. If promptly
treated with magnesium more serious magnesium deficiency disorders such as
anxiety and depression can be prevented.
What about my arrhythmias? They have been totally absent now since I treated
my toe with iodine. This tells me that at least some benign cardiac
arrhythmias are caused by fungal infections, or the breakdown products of
the fungus.
How about using iodine to treat other fungal infections? How about
oral thrush? Well, scientists treating AIDS patients in Kenya, disapointed
at the lack of efficacy and expense of antifungals (Contrimazole,
Amphotericin B and Nyastatin) have turned to dirt-cheap two percent
Providine Iodine mouth washes with astonishing success.
Five years ago, I complained of a severe yeast infection, and after seeing
many physicians, and after being treated with many antifungals and
antibiotics in the intervening years, I continued to have the problem until
I used coconut oil.
Also, Candidiasis (yeast overgrowth in the colon and mucous membranes) is
well known to cause magnesium malabsorption, thus causing depression, heart
trouble and colon cancer. Put these observations together, and presto,
coconut oil looks like it is a cure for depression, cardiac arrhythmias,
myocarditis, endocarditis and lone atrial fibrillations (LAF).
Much more research needs to be done on the effectiveness of coconut oil in
curing Candida, but for now the evidence suggests a good quality Virgin
Coconut Oil is one of the best weapons in killing Candida. Much information
is on the internet concerning the use of coconut oil to treat yeast
infections. It is also an excellent topical anti-yeast agent for treating
vaginal yeast infections.
Finally, the oils in coconut oil have been tested against Candida yeast.
Both capric and lauric acid found in coconut oil in very large amounts, were
totally, absolutely, completely lethal to Candida yeast
Long-term use of powdered sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to brush teeth
to increase the oral pH thus ridding the mouth of acid (which damages teeth)
as instructed by dentists, can cause cardiac arrhythmias if one is low on
taurine. The same problem occurs from ingesting too much dietary sodium
chloride (salt). The main problem with brushing teeth with sodium
bicarbonate is that the sodium ion is directly transported via lymphatic
drainage to the heart, thus directly upsetting the delicate potassium
balance which is otherwise benefited by magnesium. What would be a better
oral de-acidifier for dental hygiene? Why not use magnesium carbonate or
magnesium hydroxide mouth washes? My daughter, who studies neuro-psychology
at The University, says that I was messing up the "action potential" between
potassium and sodium, thus triggering arrhythmias.
How is "Leaky Gut Syndrome" treated? First, identify and avoid things that
irritate the gut such as food allergens, alcohol, caffeine, sugar (excesses
cause intestinal yeast overgrowth) and drugs. Second, probiotics
(life-sustaining bacteria normal and required in the intestines) such as
acidophilus lactobacillus (available at pharmacies, health food and grocery
stores) are needed to maintain and replace intestinal flora killed by excess
magnesium ion. Only the strongest, fresh (refrigerated) available should be
used, in a sufficient amount (6+ billion viable microorganisms per dose) and
at a frequency (3 to 5 doses a day) to terminate diarrhea nearly overnight.
Taking probiotics at times of the day different from magnesium only makes
sense. Just like we would never take antibiotics at the same time of taking
probiotics, we must not take magnesium with probiotics. There seems to be
zero risk of overdosage using quality products, but mixed probiotic cultures
may not be useful particularly if un refrigerated, because they have the
habit of killing each other in warm environments when stored for a long
time. If you want to get really serious about GI health, do what I do, use
refrigerated 450 billion bacteria VSL#3 packets several times a day. Gas may
be a side effect until the body adjusts. Ask the store clerk which
probiotics have been shipped and maintained in a refrigerated state and
which are the strongest. Third, psyllium husk fibers or bars without added
sugar are very helpful in providing intestinal bulk and harborage for the
intestinal flora. Some researchers say that damage to the gut repairable
using probiotics takes from 3 to 6 months, even though diarrhea can usually
be terminated within a few days. Consequently, we must avoid the temptation
of early withdrawal from these life- and health-sustaining agents.
Glycine (the second component of magnesium glycinate) chelates (removes)
mercury from the body, and may be superior to even magnesium taurate for
people with heavy metal poisoning in the short- or near-term. Citric acid
and cysteine also remove mercury and appear safer for long term use than
glycine."
