**Background **
Mom (f 64) and I (f 28) had been struggling with candida for several years (mom 6 years, me 2 years) she would be so itchy and red that she could no longer sleep plus would have an oozing discharge from under her breast and her skin would flake off ( Dr gave her a pill in the beginning ( lamosil I believe but I could be wrong )but she ended up with a fever 102, hives, chills and body aches so bad she couldn't get out of bed plus the candida became even worse) so we started trying every home remedy we could find. Instead of having the rash all day everyday it became a nightly problem only but did not disappear. Cue 4 years later I started having a rash on my cheeks, thrush, and itching under my chest plus a oozy discharge from my navel I managed to get rid of it for a few weeks but it kept coming back. We also had insomnia sometimes only sleeping 1 to 2hrs a night.
Both of us had darker skin along candida hotspots and our arms( mom used to call me her chocolate chip as I was so dark when I should be golden brown)
Mom was diagnosed with fatty liver so she had quite a bit of swelling in her abdomen plus many liver spots.
***trying Black Strap molasses***
Fast-forward 2 years and through pure chance I found out about Blackstrap molasses for painful menstrual cramps and upon further research I found out it had ⅕ of your daily iron in it plus it is 50-97% absorbable as I was also struggling with pms and anemia I decided to try it despite it possibly triggering the candida.( so did my mom )
I AM SO GLAD I DID!!!!!
It did trigger a rash on the 1st day but we persisted as we both finally got a full night's sleep!!!! We felt so well rested finally!!! It was worth the rash!!!!
We decided to take wormwood to control the candida somewhat...But
***Within 3 days we noticed no more itching!!!!! No more rash!!!!! We both are feeling better then we have in a long time!!!!
*** Dosage***
started with 1 tbsp once daily went to 3 tbsp throughout day***
My research showed you can take 6 tbsp but please do you own research
As this has a lot of potassium about 700 mgs per tbsp ( drs say 99mgs per day but apparently we can take more do your own research please)
**** side effects****
Die off is not fun those 3 days were terrible but as we hadn't slept for so long it was worth it
People warn about sugar spikes but I have noticed it Dropping my sugar instead mom did as well(she's had hypoglycemia since childhood she knows the signs)
Made me super sleepy to the point of dizziness for the 1st week after that it balanced out and I can take it anytime of day now
I started loosing weight and needing to eat more as my metabolism has kicked into gear ( plus sugar levels dropping)
In the first few days my urine smelled really strong and was very dark plus I needed to pee more often this slowed down after about a week or two
Week 2
I started having mood swings
( but still the sleep was worth it)
Week 3
I started noticing pains in my bones and body to (but I could still tell this is helping me I'm getting better so I continued) taking niacin helped with the aches
Week 4
I started losing my appetite but was still getting hungry faster so I made myself eat( it was hard) but still feeling better as my body felt stronger
Week 5
My fingers started swelling up and hurting (but again I still know this is helping) niacin helped and this only happened on and off through 2 days never happened again for me
Week 6
I feel awesome no side effects or die off symptoms I feel great!!!!
Though mom just started having mood swings lack of appetite and the swelling fingers all at once(probably cause she had those problems so much longer???)
But still no rash!!!! We're sleeping every night full 8hrs!!!! Body feels stronger and swelling of mom's liver is going down!!!! Skin color is clearing up!!!! More energy!!!! Age spots on mom are going away!!!! Her hair is turning back to brown most of the top of her head was silver!!!! My hair is fuller and has more volume!!!! We feel awesome we keep getting stronger!!!!
Ps uncle tried this too
His many liver spots are going away!!! And his skin is clearing up
