My Personal Experience With Candida

At the age of 64 I was having severe problems with a sore throat developing in the night and by morning they were getting worse, even when taking huge amounts of vitamin C and zinc lozenges in the night. This always lasted about three weeks with coughing up huge amounts of mucus night and day no matter how diligently I treated it. But then as it left my throat it moved up into my sinuses and huge amounts of mucus flowed from the sinuses, night and day even with the most diligent treatments I could give it. This always lasted another three weeks before clearing up. This was a total of six weeks. It was happening four times a year and I noticed I could almost mark my calendar as to when it would start again. This was half of the time! I was tired and weak.

I already had suspected I had candida for quite a while. I consulted two doctors about it and they agreed I had it, although they would not have thought of it if I had not suggested it. Always their prescription was the same thing: the candida diet. I tried very diligently to follow it. I did not achieve any noticeable results.

After fighting the sore throats and sinus infections for two years, I found a specialist in dark field microscopic blood analysis and had a test done. Within ten minutes he was showing me live fungus eating a red blood cell! Then the count of the white blood cells was extremely low. The white blood cells have what looks like five fingers. Even worse than the low white cell count, was the fact that not one white blood cell could be found that did not have at least one “finger” missing and at least one other finger short. Some only had one finger left! The fungus was consuming my red and white blood cells rapidly! I virtually had no immune system.

This specialist put me back on the same candida diet. I knew it didn’t work and so did nothing. At least I thought I was doing nothing. By chance I discovered ionic silver at this time and began taking small doses of it. From that time on I did not have the incurable sore throat. At first I did still come down with the sore throat in the night, but it was quickly treatable. Then the sore throats ceased. When I went back to the dark field microscopic specialist, he tested me again. He could not find any sign of the yeast infection; no damaged blood cells; normal white cell count; improved health of the red blood cells. He looked puzzled. He asked me what I had been doing for it. I told him the only thing I had changed was using the silver. He then said, “Whatever you are doing, keep it up!” He obviously had not expected much improvement, even with the strict diet. Without the silver, I do not think I would have lived much longer.

It is also recommended that the diet and medications be investigated.
