Tired of taking synthetic and so called food ’based’ supplements. Looking into Food Research Products Dr. Robert Teil formulated. Does anyone know of them? I just began taking their multi, calcium and CoQ10 very recently too soon to see any difference. The product are expensive and I only plan on taking a few of their line and the rest as need. I was low in calcium but eat very little dairy so I thought I’d give their calcium a go. If anyone knows of this line. Please tell me what you think if it. I believe God gave food and herbs for our nutrition and healing!   [End]

I am new to learning about Iodine. Is there information on the different forms of Iodine? My supplement company WR sells Iosol Iodine? What is the difference between Iosol Iodine and Lugol’s? and all the other forms? I’ve been slow to try Iodine even though I’ve tested low for it before. Endocrinologist was not concerned about that and my Integrative MD is cautious because he has seen iodine supplementation not go well for some of his patients. I’m not sure how much he knows about it. Seems like one time I thought I’d figured that out but I can’t remember perhaps it was due to fol ...

I have been dealing with abdominal discomfort and pain for 7 months. At first it just felt like ’menstrual cramps’. I thought it was just some hormonal shift. I have been into menopause for 4 years. This discomfort progressed- worse with stress and I had a bit of that, harsh winter, some family illness and I lost my little dog etc. Pain felt like sore belly muscles. I was tensing up my belly and had to really concentrate not to tense. I focused on this strange pain because I’ve had strange pains pretty consistently for the past 5 years. 4 years ago had undiagnosed URQ pain for a year. ...

For the past 5 months I’ve had abdominal pain which began as a mild cramping feeling and advanced to more of a muscular pain in my belly area. It followed a time of bad stress and loss.  I have been working on a premise that this abdominal pain was caused by an ulcer or a Muscular Myofascial issue, but I’ve recently been told by my Chiropractor that I have parasites. I think he used a Toftness Radiation Detector to determine this. He gave me the Chinese herbal Coptis/ aka Golden Thread and told me to take 3 droppersful, 2 X a day. I plan on taking Coptis because it helped me feel ...

- Life losses got in my way this winter to do a strict Candida Protocol and now I have intermittent abdominal pain that is thought to be an ulcer but may have a muscular skeletal element as well. I am again preparing a Candida Protocol with the goal to eradicate any Candida overgrowth, help heal hypothyroidism and heal leaky gut thought to be causing me food allergies. One big complaint for me last Nov (one I’d suffered with for many years) was rashes. I had been dealing with painful rashes (dermatology defined as Seborrheic Dermatitis) behind both ears, at my belly and sometime ...

Hi candida911, I can relate to what you have said.. only I have just been preparing to fight candida not purposely fighting yet. I have been researching. There are many different views of what to do and it bothers me that there is no definitive gauge to diagnose or know for sure if things are improving from efforts. I have been plagued with rashes. I have been trying to improve my mucosal lining / leaky gut for years, gave up gluten and nightshades which helped my digestion and achy joints. I ate vegetarian, vegan and later Paleo -all organic, local real 90% unprocessed foods and w ...

Again, Thanks for more info. I trust that God leads me as well but sometimes there are so many theories and ideas to sort through I get confused.

By intuitive I mean to really listen for what your body is asking for -- I had been craving egg yokes for a bit, salads in the summer, soups and meats in the winter meats and lately anti-fungal foods. I think we need to pray for wisdom and claim the details proclaimed in Psalm 139... ”...For You formed my inward ...

The main symptoms that lead me to believe I have candida have been three itchy rashes, one below my stomach and the other two behind my ears. My alternatively friendly MD pegged the rash below my stomach as candida so that’s what started my quest to fight candida in my body. The rash behind my ears I believe to be Seborrheic Dermatitis. I have been thinking candida is the reason for all of these rashes. BTW my MD suggested putting OTC Miconazole 7 (sold for for female yeast infections) on my stomach rash. I did one dose before I left but backed off because I don’t trust OTC or prescription ...
