Here is my post from another forum briefly explaining my problems.
Long story short, I'm under the impression I either have candida and/or human parasites. I purchased a home in May 2010 and immediately started having an awful rosacea and all over body reaction. With any amount of heat or physical exertion my face becomes swollen and inflamed in a way that is different from Rosacea. I have grown to understand my skin reactions, as most everyone with Rosacea probably does. This is different. My hands, feet, face, and arms are all the main areas of irritation. I thought it was formaldehyde due to the home being so new.. I purchased two Airpura V-600 units for $1500. I removed the carpet, replaced with $9000 worth of formaldehyde free bamboo with no relief. I removed the bamboo and lived on concrete for about a month with no relief, so I eventually sold the home. Even after moving, my skin has yet to settle at all.
Reasons to believe Candida or Parasites.
My water had a dark color and would leave a thick brown film anywhere that it rested. The toilets would have the film overnight and it would be about 1/4" thick around the bowl. I eventually had the city flush the lines in my area and the film no longer appeared. Makes me wonder if maybe my water was contaminated in some way.
I took oracea for about 1.5 years but eventually stopped, as I do not have acne rosacea. 3 months later(around the time I was about to move into the home), I started oracea again in hopes it would reduce some inflammation. I had a huge flare within 2 days to the point my face was swollen and extremely oily. I stopped oracea and gave it another try with the same result.
I have had a mild case of balanitis for about 17 months. My wife has had yeast infections immediately after we became sexually involved. She has treated herself with diflucan and other prescription medications more than 5 times only to develop another infection immediately after we have sex again.

With that said, this is my plan.
I have started a diet that consist of only about 10-15g of carbs per day. I eat only meat and low carb organic vegetables.
I purchased candex, but have yet to start as I would like to slowly work my way into it to reduce die off.
I have been taking Dr. Ohhira's probiotic as often as my body can handle it. I have a reaction with my skin burning and being excessively hot within 3 days of taking half the dose.
