Just by correcting these two vitamins will make you feel so much better and at least enough to be able to cope and have more energy to look after your baby, and most of all give you hope. Once you have started the vitamins it works very quickly and I would also take some magnesium, all these vitamins will help you with the dizzy feeling the aches and pains and also depression. I find the D3 and B12 make me feel happier, my B12 was so low I have to have regular injections and my D3 was also low that I could hardly get out of bed and I would just feel so bad I would just cry because I used to feel I was never going to feel better but I did so don't give up hope you will get better just keep trying different things until you know what suits your body. One more thing if you are still suffering a mold problem please take a Probiotic regularly. Good Luck....

Supplements may also be effective, such as sublingual types, (methylcobalamin), 1000-5000 mcg. Daily. The symptoms may take months to improve. Dizzyness may continue in the first month, so stay steady. The whole B-complex is needed, low dose. Niacinamide is very calming and may be felt in an hour or so. I recommend 500 mgs. Or less. Sometimes more at one time can trouble the liver and cause nausea. 5HTP with B6, can also be calming, also takes about an hour. I see you're taking magnesium, good, transdermal applications are great because you can feel it when you need it. A high potassium diet, with mostly vegetables is great for nerves and moods. It's good to avoid simple sugars, simple carbohydrates because they disturb moods. Vitamin E and CoQ10 help nerves and dry tissues. Nutrient dense foods are most helpful, good fresh liver, fishes, etc. are great sources of B12.
However, I am tired all the time and dizzy. I gave birth 4 months ago, but have no energy for my baby and running out of milk, which is horrible since he does not tolerate formula and breaks out in eczema so I do want to breastfeed him. I also have eczema on my left ankle bone and on the foot. The VCO has not helped much regarding the eczema or anything to be honest. My condition worsens every day and I am on the verge of suicide, have no energy whatsoever. I also experience signs of depression, OCD and agression. I find it extremely painful to have intercourse and am unable to use a small tampon even. It is extremely hard on my marriage and my husband has become emotionally and physically abusive after this hard period. He does not understand what I am going through. I have become extremely allergic to many substances after the mold, dust, smoke, detergents, strong smells... He does not take me seriously and aggavates it all by not being careful and fighting with me constantly, calling me names and causing me enormous stress every day. My health worsens by day, I have no wish nor energy to live, and I can't even stand up sometimes since I am so dizzy.
I have no idea what is wrong with me.. I assumed aspergillosis or systematic candida, do you think this is what it sounds like? I started taking collagen for my back, which helped, but I have such a strong brain fog, and forget taking stuff, doing daily chores etc.. I did oil pulling with sunflower oil, but had horrible side effects, too much plegm, rash, acne, eczema that I still have etc... Virgin Coconut Oil did nothing when oilpulling.. Virgin Olive Oil has been ok, but I feel not much difference, takes up phlegm a bit, but that is all.. I also take a probiotic shot with vco, and I take some sodium bicarbonate in water sometimes. When it gets bad I inhale some h2o2, but nothing really helps.. It does help to drink a bit for energy, but the day after I have some very bad side effects and I get dizzy and cannot get out of the bed because of the fatigue... I am not sure if this is because of the h2o2.. I also sometimes take magnesium citrate. I do not remember to take any of it regularly due to the brain fog.
My life has been taken away from me and I do not know what to do.. I have cut down on sugar, but I live in Sweden, where even dark bread is made with sugar... And I have such a low energy, and I breastfeed so I cannot change my diet dramatically.. Less bread, no added sugars, no aspartame or sweetners and almost no milk products except for probiotic and ricemilk. I cannot cook due to the pain and most of the food I eat is health portion microwave food. In the last few days I also started experiencing chest pains on the left side. I thought that I was having a heart attack, although no numbness on the left side. The blood pressure is rather ok, but my pulse has always been high, while the bp was sooo low during most of my pregnancy (due to mold?) Now it is normal- 117 -75, but the pulse is 91. I had some cayenne pepper yesterday and it actually went away!! But this morning it was back, which I again remedied with cayenne pepper. The Virgin Coconut Oil I am using every morning is without smell, and a yellow liquid which made me wonder, it seems it's not virgin.. The virgin one is supposed to smell of coconuts, right? Now I am thinking the chest pains are due to the Virgin Coconut Oil (CO?) after reading some warnings..
I am soo so lost. Feels like I am going to die, and when it doesn't I just want to die because I feel so tired of just barely surviving.. I really am on the verge of giving up, I don't want my son to grow up like this, watching his mother dying on the floor, walking like an old woman at the age of 30, not being able to use a deodorant or eat a cake or have a normal life. Watching me crying in agony over back, join and chest pain and screaming and yelling due to instable mental state.. I cannot do this anymore.. You are my last hope, PLEASE HELP ME.. Thank you for existing!
Putting your shirts inwards will help cushion your abdominal area against the intense pressure, and hopefully in time will lessen the pain.
God bless you!

If that is what you have, I'd treat the cause if you're able to figure out what it is. Otherwise, about all you can do is treat the symptoms and wait it out. I'd look up edema, inflamation and strengthening immune system on the ailments tab. Also fever if you're running one and it's high enough to be an issue. It took me about two weeks to get over the worst symptoms and about six to be largely back to normal. One of my ankles will still act up occasionally if I wear heels.

I agree with the addition of EFA's and Vit D. Many benefits to those. I also use GSE for illness but not that many drops as a preventative measure. It might be caustic on your sensitive stomach right now.
Wishing you renewed health.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I did switch from the glyconutritional supplement I was taking to pure inner leaf aloe vera juice. Surprisingly, the aloe gave me the same effects with a fraction of the cost. The only thing you have to be careful of with aloe is that it can cause stomach pains, gas, etc. I found that if I took it with something very acidic, such as grapefruit juice or ACV, I usually did not have a problem. Then one day, out of curiosity, I made up some dandelion coffee (roasted dandelion root tea). I was amazed. Not only was it tasty, but my brain started to clear up part way through my first cup. I did some research, and apparently you need to take dandelion root for a few months before you receive the full benefits. So, I've been drinking three cups (one after every main meal) for quite some time. Dandelion is wonderful, guys! The root helps with sluggish livers, resets your internal ph level, helps to kill yeast, and, although it is a diaretic, it does not deplete potassium from your body. Although I loved all of this, I had to stop taking ACV because too much gave me heartburn. Therefore, I also stopped drinking aloe juice (without the extra acid, my stomach was upset all day). However, with just dandelion alone, my body still retained the extra stability that I had felt with the aloe. So, I don't regret switching over.
I have also started taking some of the Bach's Flower Essences to see if they would help with the stress that can aggravate my condition. I cannot say enough good things about them. They have helped to focus my brain so that I can really see what is causing the stress instead of just dealing with the symptoms. When I started looking into them, I was VERY skeptical. However, I went ahead and ordered some. I made the mistake of taking a few drops directly from the bottle, and it was so strong my head spun. So, if you order/make any, please be sure to dilute them first. They can also be applied directly to your skin. If I have a sore muscle, I'll rub a few drops into it, and, within seconds, there is relief. It doesn't last very long, but there are no side effects and I'd rather do that then take lots of pain killers. When I had a cold, I rubbed some across my sinuses, and it caused them to drain. There are a lot of applications, and I am pleased to see that my skepticism was proved wrong.
Wow, so that's what I've been doing the past couple of months. I did spend some time in China several years back, and I would love to see a TCM practitioner. Unfortunately, I live in the least populated state in America, and there is no one who does complete TCM. We did find some acupuncturists in the nearest town though. I am planning on seeing one of them in the next month or so. I'll let you all know how that goes.
In the meantime, I appreciate all your ideas and your patience. If you think of anything else that might help, let me know. Thank you all so much!

Try 20 drops of Tabasco (it only has three ingredients, no preservatives) in about 4 ounces of water, and drink it. Do this a couple times per week.
Then use only as needed. So many benefits from this recipe.
To The Person with BO.
Use a lemon or lime. roll on counter putting pressure on lem/lime. cut in two and rub on problem area. You will not need to re-apply for 3 to 4 days. No more deoderant and harmful ingredients.

First of all I wanted to ask you if you offer consulations as I would like to pay for your help.
My wife has a strange disorder that completely affects the quality of her life. When she eats certain foods and the list is never constant, her nose suddenly gets clogged up and she has to blow her nose all the time as if she caught the flue or severe cold. Her nose just runs. Because this has been going on for a while she developed polyps. We went to many doctors in Ukraine and a few in the US (not too many in the US as they are expensive and we cannot afford them). In ukraine one herbalist told her to smoke chicory and exhale it out through her nostrils. This seems to have helped with the polyps and her breathing. Oh I forgot to mention that this problem has affected her breathing. She almost always breathes very heavily as if she is struggling to get in air, this is very noticeable at night.
Now in Ukraine one doctor suggested some of her symptoms might have to do with lactic acid. It seems to be increasing albeit slowly. Her symptoms usually worsen if she eats dairy products and at times sugary products. though the sugary products from the US tend to have a bigger impact than the ones in ukraine.
Nose Xrays and lung Xrays were done, they revealed nothing. Sinusitis was ruled out.
Another factor is that after eating food seems to be getting stuck in her intestines, many times she gets bloated. One doctor suggested IBS but again all these other symptoms started coming after the phelgm/mucous I. E runny nose. She has been suffering from this for now close to 10 years. Sometimes when she goes on a detox her symptoms get better or they go away temporarily but nothing has cured her.
We have tried very severe detox programs. limiting meat, diary, etc but while they have helped nothing has cured her.
Finally she cannot seem to take too much raw food as in lots of salads etc, they seem to irritate her digestive system.
Many years ago she was diagnosed with the Epstein Barr virus. I don't know if this is having some sort of effect, but recent tests did not reveal anything, maybe its dormant.
I would really appreciate some help, because when her nose gets blocked it runs for hours and she cannot talk or lead a normal life, Sometimes it gets so red it looks like its going to bleed because of the amount of time she has to blow her nose. I have seen her go through whole box of tissues in a few hours.
Any help you could offer would be appreciated. I am new member here. So could you tell me how I would check if you posted a reply.
And if you do offer consultations over the phone please let me know. I know you are very busy and any help you can offer will be truly appreciated.
Kind Regards, Sol

For the boil I would read the boil section on earth clinic. Many people have had great success with tumeric.
I would also be working on alkalising my diet. I would go on a "greens detox. Juice all green vegetables and have that for at least 3-5 days. Take chlorella and spirulina. Youtube has a ton of info on juicing.
Keep away from processed foods and drinks. For the exzema people have had luck with cutting out gluten and seeing it disappear.

There is a product out called "Go Out Plex. " It's made out of cherries... It is great for pain and inflamation... It's natural and not very expensive... Give it a try if your so inclined...
Good luck,

Eliminating sugar, starch and trans fats is a must for you to start to alkalize your system which should help considerably. In addition, drinking pitcher of water with a 1/2 cup of lemon juice and a 1/2 tsp of baking soda and taking a tsp of virgin coconut oil 4 times a day will relieve gout symptoms if it has not progressed to foar and should clear up the candida.

Neurontin's side effects - numbness of an arm or legs; clumsiness; dizziness; tiredness; weight gain; back pain.
Neurontin is sometimes used for Fibromyalgia, although when you look at its list of side effects maybe it can make it worse. Alpha lipoic acid can be a good alternative for Neurontin if it's for Fibromyalgia or diabetic issues. Scroll down to #5 at http://www.stopagingnow.com/liveinthenow/article/10-drugs-with-great-natural-alternatives
One of Effexor's side effects is a state of near sleep.
Trazodone's side effects include; drowsiness; mood swings; memory problems.
There can also be interreactions between effexor and trazodone when taken together because they both increase seratonin.

You may have a B defieciency like someone said. You should change your diet anyway. But many of your symptoms sound Lyme-like.
Shifra
Now, the B12 will help most with pain, but it will take many months for this. Some places that are numb will begin to tingle as feeling returns. These areas will also become sensitive, temporarily, and some fleeting pain will be felt. I have found that increasing potassium also helps pain. Again, I fully support that one should try to get it in their diet as much as possible, but, I also supplement potassium. It also helps moods as healing progresses. I mix a powder of potassium gluconate, 250 mg. , into about 6 oz. of water. This can be taken once an hour for pain. I admit that sometimes I take 500 mg. in this way, but I do not recommend taking any more that this as a supplement, because side effects may occur that would be antithetical to healing. With food and vegetable juices, one can take many more mgs. of potassium than that, unless sodium is low. If that is the case, then I recommend adding sea salt to any food or supplement that may have too high a ratio of potassium to sodium and chloride. ( I think that may be why people may have a "detox". ) I have had pretty good results with amino acids such as tryptophan, and tyrosine. I have also had very good results with Peppermint oil, oil of Oregano, and DMSO. I sometimes take small amounts of them internally, but mostly transdermally. Someone may scold me, but I do put a rather heavy coat of peppermint oil on painful areas. Maybe these suggestions will allay pain until the B-12 heals it.

Added to the above I would be taking ACV (1-2 tablespoons) in 8oz water per day.
Coconut oil
Raw honey
I would stay away from synthetic vitamins and try to stick with the "super foods".
Chicken broth is great for vitamins and minerals as well.
Stay away from diet drinks and MSG. Diet drinks usually contain aspartame which is poison to our bodies.
They say that health begins in the gut/digestion. I would be looking at my diet.
Would be helpful to know what your diet is like?

thanks for responding and I will take your suggestions, but it is the pain esp in my necka and shouders that is the worst symptom. I am in so much pain. do you know what I cud do for the pain.

I really need help. I am in excruciating pain almost all the time, mainly in my neck and shoulders, but also on the sides of my stomach and lower back. the pain is just under my skin, and feels gravelly, like there are granules in there, and some hard stuff that feels like shards of glass.
Nothing seems to help, not acupunture, (which I find excruciating adn ineffective), or chiro, or massage-it inflames it more etc. The pain is so bad, I find myself not wanting to live-I'm not sucidal.
also I am so tired!! I have had chronic fatigue FOR a long time, but now, I can barely drag myself around, I want to sleep all the time, but I have lots of trouble sleeping. I feel groggy and almost drunk tho I never drink booze.
Also, my feet are kind of numb as are my lower legs. I have all kinds of gastric distress-gas, bloating, belching farting reflux, irritable colon, spittng up, ocassinal nausea
I am totally hooked on food, especailly sugar, carbs and salty stuff, I cant stop. Until very recently I was too thin, but now I am starting to pack on the pounds.
I also feel depressed, enraged, resentful, afraid and terribly sad, negative, I cant remember stuff and have trouble learning new things.
By far, the worst is the pain and the fatigue. I dont think the Apple Cider Vinegar would be good for me as I have candida and vinegar makes me feel awful.
Any help would be greatly apprecaited,
shifra
There are a few solutions you can try:
1) Sit on a comfortable chair with back support and a soft cushion where you
sit.
2) Take some time off regularly if you are going to sit long hours.
3) Don't use underwear with tight and thin rubber band on the waist, or any
other tight shorts or jeans, which will block the flow of blood.
Interestingly, if you are to lie down flat on your back and rotate your foot inwards and use your other foot to hold on that position for 2 minutes then you will discover that after a while that needle pain will disappear or at least become less throbbing than before. I got this inspiration after going for so many massages and always notice that the therapist bend the feet inwards each time. You could also do it while standing upright.
Hope these will help.

I have had so many things from the doctors that have proven so inaffective, that I gave up on them.
I found bathing my hands in vinegar and warm water offered the best relief to the itch, burn, pain. Cycle. However this did tend to dry my skin, so to counter balance that I have alternated between using Almond oil, and lavender oil.
I take orally ACV. And have bathed in HP. 98% better. I found equally as hard to cope with though the fact it would aggrevate me more at night disturbing my sleep patterns leaving me waking feeling exhausted.
Pleased to say with the relief I am now getting and the vast improvement everything else is improving too. Wishing you and all better soon and hope this helps you too.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Have you looked into essential fatty acid deficiency? I didn't see where you are supplementing your intake of efa's and some of your symptoms do sound like an efa deficiency, especially omega 3 and 7. You could do some research into this. The rule of thumb I go by is 15 mg of omega 3 per lb of body weight.
Good luck and health to you.

Strangely though, I recently measured the blood pressure of 3 fat and large kids, and found out that theirs were normal at round about 105/70 range.
Tauhu
These are the symptoms:
1) Tinnitus at left ear.
2) Sleepy.
3) High diastolic blood pressure, 95 - 120. Systolic okay, 105 - 120.
4) Blood pressure easily jump upon a bit of stress, excitement, anger.
5) Weak legs.
6) Needle pain at lower left back.
7) 1 leg seems shorter than the other.
8) Prone to sad thoughts and worries.
I was wondering if fruit is allowed while on this diet? Thanks.

I'm on above supplements for about 15 days (except the ones I started later like GSE, Sellenium etc. ). Since I have started this my joint pains have increased to a great extent, all my joints are very stiff and its hard for me to walk properly. My melasma looks a bit dark at times and my skin is getting very dull and a kind a dehydrated. I get headaches frequently (though not severe) and have vomit feeling as well. At times I feel like dizzi and not alert, at times feel like I will fall, tired and weak. Though I wasn't very health before starting these supplements but since I started them it has become much much severe then it used to be before. Not sure if all is working fine, since read copper detoxification gives rise to such symptoms. Anybody expreinced the same or similar stuff?? how long is it expected to continue?? how would I know if my copper is balanced now/
Recently my GP has taken a blood sample (results awaited in next 2-3 weeks) to test Artheritis, Thyroid (since I have started feeling too cold, I switch on my heater even then others will be moving around in sleevless tops complaining of hot weather), calcium and vitamin D imbalances. Any idea what all could be going on with me??
What were you taking prior to the hives and swelling showing up? Any new foods, personal care products, plants, additions to your home, new pets, new sheets on your bed?

You may not feel congested (breathing fine) but the odor is most likely from mucus and bacteria that have set up housekeeping in your sinus cavities. If you are taking antihistamines for your allergies, you need to be rinsing daily, drinking lots of water, and probably taking the herbal decongestant regularly, because the antihistamine will keep your sinuses from draining (as antihistamine is supposed to do), but this means you will be prone to infection because the bacteria and mucus do not drain out. So, you need to help get that bad stuff out. I hope this helps.

Try a CRT-2000 scan; you may get some very good indicators of what might be the underlying problems.

I was later diagnosed by a neurologist so many things there isn't enough room here to write it in this forum. How-ever another phd report states some thing organic(?)Now I do know that all diseases start in the brain and settle in the base of the spine, when an immune system is comprimised that disease what ever it maybe will arise and cause deep trouble unless treated right away. I did find that organic is mold/fungus; as a young child I lived in a very cold damp house, when I was sleeping room my temp. Would go way down instead of opposite; thus my room was already cold & damp plus my body felt like it was below zero. In the summer I was very cold but my face was burning up. So today I am handicapped and doing my very best to stay above water and beat the system as a science project and either try to reverse my problem or the least try to stablize the problem.
Since I have come into this god send of an awsome website, I am feeling a bit better and not quite as many dizzy spells. My best feature is I have an open mind and willing to try most anything, of course there are a few stepping stones where I do read up on much more of the info. Before just jumping into any situation. I'm the type of person thats in a great hurry to find my cure, but again God allowed me this freedom and this amount of time to do what I need to do. So here I am searching. As I said this American state of mind has found this country to be 100% musty, moldy, humidity, continous dampness therefore we all have chances of mold/fungus(as Drs. quote) according to how we live? enquote: good luck, keep up the good work and keep searching and asking those questions, even if you don't get an answer right away it comes to you in other ways.

Many patients and researchers believe that the normal range should be higher than it is now. Here in the US, the normal range is, 193-982 pg/ml. Some people only feel well at levels above 1000 pg/ml. Some researchers feel that the normal range should include 600-2000 pg/ml. Some people respond well with monthly injections, and others combine them with daily sublinguals. I'm still finding my own range, so I'm taking between 2500 -5000 mcgs. of sublingual methyl B-12 daily. When beginning therapy, it is recommended that dosage should be more frequent and or higher initially, then may be reduced after a month. Potassium levels should be observed because they may drop due to new blood cell formation. I hope this may provide relief for you.

Here are two websites you should refer to:
After 13 years of suffering with Lyme disease, a possible cure has been stumbled upon. A cumulative effect of much research has produced the possibility that salt and vitamin C may be all that is needed to beat this elusive illness.

This is Rosemary from Australia. We emailed each other a few years ago and I got a lot of help from you. I have Lyme 29 years, misdiagnosed as CFS 22 years. Four years of anti-biotics did not work as I was in the last stages and believe I was dying. I used a walking frame for years and a wheelchair sometimes. I was falling over due to lack of balance, had terrible neurological problems, was mostly housebound, etc. My doctor had run out of ideas. I suggested the salt & C. She is a very conservative orthodox doctor, but encouraged me to try the protocol as she sould not see any dangers in my case.
I began slowly building up the doses of salt & C until I reached about 8 grams, which was OK for my very low weight. I knew the salt & C was helping me and 3 years down the track I am on a low maintenance dose and doing really well. The treatment was gruelling and not easy, buit it has worked! I traveled to Canada, USA & Hawaii last year. I hiked in mountains, slept in a tent and did things I only dreamed about prior to salt & C. This year I have been traveling in Australia. I am doing many things I haven't been able to do for nearly 30 years. I can even drive again.
I had very low BP, but salt & C has really helped so much. My eyes are finally yoking together and my neurological damage has mostly reversed. My doctor agrees and is amazed by my progress.
I have a Townsend article which explains how salt & vitamin C cause osmotic shock to Bb. I also have a Pub Med article which explains how Bb cannot reproduce in certain concentrations of salt.
I am happy to send them to you.
I love salt & C and believe it has saved my life.
Kind regards,
Rosemary.

This is not a boring read and I guaranty you will be amazed what is happening . I can say from my own experience with skin issues just like you describe, identical in fact, that what helped mine is head and shoulders shampoo in the blue bottle with selenium sulfide in it used as a body wash daily, a mixture of ACV and hydrogen peroxide equal parts and a little water applied daily for 15 minutes and then gentle use of a buff puff all over and then rinsed off. Daily use of Oxy pads salicylic acid. This regime followed takes some time to clear these up but once started no new spots have appeared for me. I do still have the dark but scaling is diminished and dark fading. I get white spots too where the pigment is lost. There is a fungal component to this and ketoconazole 2% shampoo may need to be used as an alternating wash for a few weeks now and then.
I have suffered 12 years with this and this regime is the only thing that has helped even though slow as the dickens. But this will be my first summer I will be able to wear shorts and sleeveless top with out total embarrassment. I was told it was all sorts of things same as your self, scabies and all right down to the cancer. I am a registered nurse and am telling you what my years of research found that worked for me and not saying it will for anyone else so please don't take as medical advice, just my shared experiences :) I also drink two tall glasses of water with a lemon juice daily to help alkalinize, many pathogens don't like it so helps them from making themselves comfortable in the body. I wish you all the best and answers come for you to heal. Vicki
