I really dont know how or why this works for me but I had hypoglycemia to the point of having to eat every few hours and not being able to handle any type of fast carbohydrate. I started taking about 3 grams (6 capsules of 500 mgs bladderwrack kelp) and in about a week hypoglycemia was about 80-90% eliminated.

\For histolytica I took tindamax instead and had no side effects from it or paramomycin. Have read the histolytica can be resistanct to flagyl and that tindamax is preferred. Perhaps if you havent started the paramo you could request tindamax and start over. Hardly anyone gets side effects from tindamax and if youve waited to take the paramo then you actually might need to start over anyway. Most side effects are caused by the drug itself.   [End]

have you considered that it might be possible that the enemas are ridding a colon parasite instead of yeast? Lots of parasites invite candida and the candida serves a purpose. Once the parasite has been eliminated candida is also eliminated (decreased).

this is just a thought.. if your lips got worse with vitamins/minerals then that might be a sign of a vit/mineral deficiency.
