Two puzzles....whats the Shelley take on these.

[Paul]

Ok, first off Tinnitus. What do you think causes the bulk of tinnitus. It seems
to mystify people in the allopathic and naturopathic world. My own was
thought to be kidney..but I have had every test from allopathy to a Vega
test and they all say my kidneys are fine.....

Second mystery, Nail Fungus. I have a mild case only on my right big toe.
All candida tests come back neg from Smokies. Now I`m sure you know that
good ole vinegar will gradually kill the stuff off....but whats the cause.

[shelley]

Tinnitis has so many precursors it's fascinating. It is usually congestion/stagnation, such as dehydration, lack of electrolytes, liver stones, but it can also be due to toxins such as mercury, arsenic, lead, exposure to pesticides. Sometimes it's just the ear canals equalizing. Sometimes it's due to too many proteins or calcium making the bones/tissues brittle rather than flexible.

Nail fungus can be a localized infection and not be systemic. You could have caught it any number of ways and then keep reinfecting yourself from the same shoes, socks, shower floor, etc. You could have caught it simply by sweating too much while you were eating too many carbs and had "sweet blood" and "sweet skin" syndrome. If you live in a land with mosquitos, and they love to bite you mroe than other people, then you have sweet blood.

Never heard of sweet blood.....I haven`t eaten sugar in years and am on
pretty much an anti Candida diet....

But, you`re right, mosquitos do find me delish.....


BTW...how come it says we are talking to each other at 3 am//// its 9
here in Ottawa Canada.

you have to tell the computer what time it is where you're at. Just click on the Profile link and check your settings, one of the very last options is what time you're in. You have to know what time zone you are in terms of Greenwich. I'm minus 8 hours here in California.

I agree that Nail fungus is most likely a localized infection, but just for completeness Smokies or any other stool test is useless for detecting candida.

Candida is a filamentous organism which grows in colonies and structures. Bacteria on the other hand are single-celled creatures. That explains why bacteria will always show up in stools, but candida almost never does.

[Paul]

Troy....whats up with your pen name.....lol
Yup. Another Simpsons fan here....Doh. When I saw the
Troy from Springfield I had a good chuckle.....but seriously,
why not use your real name on the site..unless of course you
really have come to life.





BTW, Shelley....what is that sweet blood in your post. Googling didn`t tell
me much.

[Paul]

Ok, I did a lot more Googling....so...high blood sugar, well, I must confess
that I was a sugar hound most of my life. I have been off the stuff for two
years and my blood sugar is in top quarter of the range. Is there any way
to bring it down even more......How does one strenghten the Pancreas.

[shelley]

To strengthen the pancreas, you need lots of good skin food. Keep the liver clean, and avoid caffeine.

A tendancy towards high blood sugar can be totally from the diet, as in too many simple sugars and not enough complex carbs, and it can also be these deficiencies:

Low Vitamin C, low nickel, high selenium, high sodium, high/low manganese, low chromium, low sulfur, low potassium
