1. When Morgellons/USP/Lyme Patients cut back on sugar, all report that their symptoms decrease dramatically.
2. Candidiasis is a disease that stems from poor diet, antibiotic use, and other lifestyle factors. It is a naturally occurring yeast that grows into a fungus, is clinically known to penetrate internal organs and it causes identical symptoms to those reported by Lyme patients and Morgellons patients.
3. The fibers are always identified to be either skin (by the physician’s naked eye) or cellulose or the yeast candida.
4. I believe that the disease Candida is responsible for all symptoms relating to Morgellons and Lyme Disease-that there is no other factor that acts as the catalyst for our disease.
5. I believe that Morgellons is a severe form of Candida, and thus some of the symptoms of bugs breeding inside us, black specks, colored fibers and other symptoms reported by sufferers haven’t been associated with the disease Candida because Morgellons has not been given the recognition or funding it needs.
6. The yeast mutates into a plant-like structure that begins within our bladder or intestines and grows outward, fed by sugar, birth control pills, alcohol, and ESPCIALLY antibiotics, and once it has infested our body it is highly present in our bloodstream (thus the high yeast content when Morgs patients have blood tested).
7. Interstitial Cystitis is disease that is caused by an unknown pathogen that attacks the inner lining of the bladder wall, causing Hunner’s ulcers, and causing the disease IC to form. I have had Interstitial Cystis for the last six years, and no doctor could ever tell me what caused my ailment.
8. The interstitial cystitis diet is 100% identical to the Candida diet.
9. Interstitial Cystitis is now being associated with Morgellons disease. Many Morgellons patients also complain of suffering from the disease interstitial cystitis as well.
10. Candida has been proven to cause all of the following symptoms.
• Bronchitis (recurrent)
• Burning or tingling
• Chemical sensitivity
• Chest pain
• Coughing
• Earaches
• Allergic rhinitis (hayfever)
• Headaches
• Muscle aches and tension
• Nasal congestion
• Head tension
• Numbness
• Painful, swollen, stiff joints
• Shortness of breath
• Sinusitis
• Sore throats
• Swollen lips or face
• Urticaria (hives, wheals or welts)
Cognitive
• Attention Deficit Disorder
• ADHD
• Confusion
• Disorientation
• Drowsiness
• Fatigue
• Feelings of unreality
• Hyperactivity
• Inability to concentrate
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
• Poor memory
Emotional
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Mood swings
• Irritability
• Nervousness
Gastrointestinal
• Bloating
• Oral thrush
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Dry mouth
• Gas
• Halitosis (bad breath
• Heartburn
• Indigestion
• Inflammation
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Lactose Intolerance
• Rectal itch
Genitourinary
• Bladder infection (recurrent)
• Burning on urination
• Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder)
• Fluid retention (edema)
• Frequent urination
• Impotency
• Infertility
• Loss of sexual feelings
• Prostitis
Glandular and Autoimmune
• Adrenal and thyroid gland malfunction
• Cold hands or feet
• Diabetes mellitus
• Hypoglycemia
• Hypothyroidism
• Low body temperature
• Lupus
Skin
• Acne
• Athlete's foot
• Dandruff
• Dry skin
• Eczema
• Excessive perspiration
• Facial rash
• Fungous infection of the nails
• Impetigo (skin infection)
• Inflammation of hair follicles (candidiasis folliculitis)
• Psoriasis
• Seborrheic dermatitis
• Tinea cruris (jock itch)
Women's Issues
• Cramps
• Endometriosis (irregular, painful menstruation)
• Menstrual irregularities
• Painful intercourse
• Pre-Menstral Syndrome (PMS)
• Recurrent yeast vaginitis
• Vaginal burning, itching or discharge
Other
• Conjunctivitis
• Chronic fatigue
• Eye Fatigue
• Excessive weight loss
• Insomnia
• Muscle pain
• Muscle weakness
• Symptoms worse upon waking
• Tingling and numbness
Every symptom on this list can also be attributed to Lyme disease, and they have also been reported by Morgellons patients.
11. These are all factors that contribute to the growth of the disease Candidiasis. (How many of you are currently doing some of these?)
• Alcohol.
• Chemicals and toxins.
• Chemotherapy.
• Chronic constipation or diarrhea.
• Diabetes.
• Diets high in sugars.
• Excessive stress
• Having a repressed immune system due to medication or disease.
• Intestinal parasites
• Multiple pregnancies.
• Oral antibiotics kill off the "good" bacteria in the intestine, which allows candida to proliferate.
• Steroids.
• Thyroid disease.
• Use of oral contraceptives, steroids, antacids, and anti-ulcer medications
These are the tests that can be done to detect the presence of an overgrowth of yeast (Candidiasis).
• Stool candida culture: Checks a stool sample of the presence of candida.
• Serum candida antigen titer test: Blood test that measures the concentration (titer) of candida antigens.
• Serum candida antibody tests: Tests for IgG, IgM, and IgA, which at high levels could indicate candidiasis.
When I stopped eating sugars and ate in a healthy manner, I stopped itching. I have been feeling wonderful. I know that we can directly attribute our problems all to the disease Candidiasis. I am positive that this is the answer.
Too many people are trying to treat a co-infection relating to a supposed parasitic infection, or a bacterial one. Antibiotics make them feel better temporarily for some reason, but I don’t believe they will ever get better because they are feeding the disease Candidiasis.
I think the reason why science can’t find the unidentified parasite is because there is no parasite. This whole disease and all the scary symptoms, including the bugs who come to live in us, to feed on and breed on our overgrowth of fungus, and also every other bizarre symptom that we share across the nation, all relates to this one single disease. If we treat the disease Candidiasis, our Morgellons will be cured, and also our Lyme disease.
I think it’s KILLING us to treat it with antibiotics! There are too many signs that point to Candida as being the lone culprit that causes our misery, and antibiotics are known to antagonize Candida. Please, if you are taking antibiotics, I beg of you to try following the Candida diet. It can’t hurt to try and it is saving my life as well as my sanity. I think many people realize and correctly believe that cutting out sugars will help, but I don’t think they understand that this is the cure-it’s not just something that will make your symptoms subside while you continue to try to fight the real infection with the big guns-“antibiotics”. No no no no no! You are just going to make sure the fungus will continue to thrive and make you more sick!
Thanks for reading this, I sincerely hope that some of you can begin to feel the relief that I am, and that we can all try this out together, because I really honestly feel in my heart that this is the cure. Candida is Morgellons-Candida is Lyme (the one that’s recently widespread-I’m not sure about the tick-spread Lyme disease.)
Candida is also easily contagious-but ONLY by people who have lowered immunitites! Doesn’t that sound like Morgellons too? If this is the reason and this is the cure, I wish so bad for everyone to recover, and for this information to spread to everyone who is hurting, because I want them all to be healed from this mystery disease.
God bless,
Jess
