CANDIDIASIS (chronic fatigue syndrome) is an infection caused by Candida albicans, a ubiquitous, normally harmless yeast (saprophyte) of your skin, mouth, vagina, and intestine. Under certain circumstances of reduced immune status this organism becomes a parasite and therefore pathological (disease creating) when its competitors---the normal bacteria of the gut---are killed by long term use of antibiotics, allowing them to proliferate unchecked. Hypochlorhydria, the reduced production of stomach acid (usually the result of salt restriction), allows the Candida albicans to move into the stomach -- an unusual location. Stress will cause the reduction of stomach acid after stress reaches the point of decompensation. Food allergies change the lining of the gut in a manner very similar to celiac disease which causes an increased nutrient concentration in the gut---this hyperfertilized environment is very attractive to C. albicans. The overgrowth of the organism eventually spills over into the blood stream and, thus, infests the body proper.
Prevention includes being aware of your intestines and knowing your digestive and absorptive abilities and patterns. Do pulse tests for food allergies, avoid long term use of antibiotics, and as you grow older take betaine HCI and pancreatic enzymes before meals to offset the normal decrease in production of stomach acid. Be sure to take these digestive aids if you are under stress; deal aggressively with any disease that lowers your immune capacity!
The diagnosis of candidiasis may be from symptoms. However, if you want a sure diagnosis, get a blood test for antibodies against Candida albicans or a skin test (very similar to a TB tine test). A positive test is a sure diagnosis. A negative test may or may not be revealing. Anergy is a state in which the immune system is so exhausted that it can't even react to a diagnostic test!!
Symptoms of candidiasis include forgetfulness, irritability, fatigue, nausea, flu-like joint and muscle pain, and a high emotional state. Gastrointestinal symptoms may or may not be present (i.e., diarrhea, dyspepsia, gas, etc.). Most of the patients we see have been on oral Nystatin for some length of time with little or no positive effect. No wonder, since Nystatin is not absorbed into the body properly and therefore only controls the C. albicans in the gut.
Treatment for candidiasis includes treating food allergies, hypoglycemia, chemical sensitivities and any concurrent infection (i.e., herpes, EBV, CMV, etc.), and correcting indigestion. Hydrogen peroxide and enriched aloe vera juice may be taken orally at 1 oz. b.i.d. upon arising and retiring (we like H202 that is mixed with aloe vera which makes it palatable and makes it easy to take). Also, there is no danger in this diluted form. Hydrogen peroxide 10cc in a DMSO 10cc and 5 percent dextrose solution; 500cc should be administered IV to kill the systemic infestation. It takes 10 - 12 infusions to get the desired effect.
Germanium orally and IM is a good adjunctive therapy as it helps get oxygen into the cells. Remember Candida albicans is anaerobic and doesn't like oxygen.
Replantation of Lactobacillus acidophilus, a friendly resident of the gut and a primary competitor to Candida albicans, is a useful part of any treatment program. Use the retention enemas with 4 oz. of warm water containing 10 billion organisms (empty twenty 500,000 organism capsules into the water). A retention douche of 3 oz. for ten minutes weekly is suggested. The external genital area in both male and female may be washed with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution. Sixteen ounces of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide can safely be added to bath water. Autoimmune urine and blood therapies can be very useful in stimulating specific antibody production.
CANKER SORES (cold sores, fever blisters, aphthous stoma-stomatitis) can be precipitated by stress, consumption of certain foods as in food allergies (do the pulse test), and certain deficiencies. The canker sore is differentiated from herpes in that it only occurs on the movable oral mucosa of the lips and cheeks.
Treatment should include avoidance of allergens, zinc at 50 mg t.i.d., lysine at 1,500 mg/day, vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU/day, B-complex at 50 mg each t.i.d., and vitamin A at 300,000 IU/day as beta carotene.

CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA (irregular heart beat) is a common complaint of persons with food allergies and hypoglycemia, assuming organic heart disease has been ruled out. The classic for this syndrome is the "Chinese restaurant syndrome" which is caused by sensitivity to MSG. Many a patient with sudden irregular heartbeat and palpitations has called the ambulance thinking they had a heart attack. By the time the ambulance arrived, they no longer had symptoms. A history of eating out, especially at a Chinese restaurant, is the give away.
Deficiencies that cause cardiac arrhythmia include B1 (i.e., beriberi), B3 (i.e., pellagra), B6, chromium, selenium (i.e., Keshan Disease, cystic fibrosis), magnesium, potassium, carnitine, and CO Q10.
Treatment of cardiac arrhythmia includes avoidance of known allergens (MSG, sugar, etc.), autoimmune urine and blood therapies, chromium at 50-100 mcg t.i.d., B-complex at 50 mg t.i.d., selenium at 100-300 mcg t.i.d., magnesium at 1,000 mg/day, potassium at 500 mg t.i.d., plant derived colloidal minerals, carnitine, and CO Q10 per label.
CARDIOMYOPATHY (Keshan Disease, muscular dystrophy of heart) is recognized by the WHO as a selenium deficiency disease. This is the type of heart disease that makes individuals a candidate for heart transplant in the eyes of the orthodox physician. It is typical that $1/month in selenium supplement would prevent this disease supplement would prevent this disease and the need for a $250,000 procedure that carries a 20 percent mortality rate. This disease is also found in cystic fibrosis patients (one of the telltale signals that genetics has nothing to do with cystic fibrosis). Cardiomyopathy is known as "mulberry heart disease" in pigs and "white muscle disease" in cattle, sheep, and horses. It is interesting that veterinarians have eliminated this disease in animals with selenium injections and oral supplementation of diets. Again this is an example where it just might be better to go to your vet.
The diagnosis of cardiomyopathy is made from an ECG (electrocardiogram and a x-ray or CAT scan in an orthodox cardiologist's office. The earliest signs are S-T and T wave changes. At this point, diet correction (avoid margarine and fried foods) and selenium supplementation will reverse this if the diagnosis is correct. The neglect of this will result in severe fatigue and sufficient heart muscle changes for the cardiologist to be able to justify a heart transplant.
The treatment of early cardiomyopathy includes selenium at 350 mcg t.i.d. or 1,000 mcg IM, plant derived colloidal selenium, vitamin E at 1,200 IU/day, and essential fatty acids at 5 gm t.i.d. I have personally seen individuals who have survived quite well with only selenium supplementation. They still have mild S-T or T wave changes, but they have been working out in the rice fields as a field hand for 25 years after their diagnosis and treatment with selenium.
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (slipped tendon, perosis, angel wing) is caused by compression of the median nerve in between the tendons of the forearm muscles by a shrinking of the circular wrist ligament that holds everything together. This compressed nerve causes radiating pain in the palm of the hand and wrist, especially when the underside of the wrist is forcefully tapped with an index finger or a reflex hammer. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by a deficiency of arsenic, manganese, and choline.
Treatment includes B6 at 75 t.i.d., zinc at 50 mg t.i.d., plant derived colloidal arsenic, manganese, and choline. All of these nutrients are found in Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula. Compare this with the orthodox therapy of wrist surgery!
CARSICKNESS (motion sickness, seasickness, airsickness, or motion sickness) is common in some individuals when repetitive angular and linear movement occur at the same time. Fixing the gaze on a single geographic point can help in seasickness when the patient is on deck but is a fruitless exercise in other forms of motion sickness. Symptoms include "green at the gills" feeling including vertigo, nausea, and vomiting.
Prevention of motion sickness includes the use of scopolamine transdermal patches (can be worn behind the ear) or Dramamine (both medications can be purchased at the pharmacy without a prescription). Herbs that are useful for motion sickness include ginger.
