I have an interesting problem. To make a long story shorter...two years ago I took an anti-candida nosode. I did this while eating a low sugar diet. It worked extremely well in clearing up symtoms such as acne.

However, about a week into the nosode treatment my skin started getting worse, specifically when I ate meat or alot of protein in general, but not sugar. I was 26 at the time and had never had any problems with meat or protein before, only excess sugar.

I continued with the nosode until my GI tract shut down for about 7 days..very scary. I had a feeling it might be the nosode, so I stopped taking it. The next morning my GI tract began working and has ever since. However, I am left with symptoms I didn't have before taking the nosode...1) Rash on cheeks, and forehead 2) Coating on tongue
3)My skin still breaks out in acne when I eat meat..but not when I eat sugar 4) GI tract that works but is still very sluggish even when eating notorious foods such as beans, etc...
beans, etc...

I have since had the coating on my tongue analyzed for bacteria, and it came back postive for Pseudomaonas Fluorescens ( bacteria found in rotting meat).

I am therefore looking for a nosode of this specific bacteria (P.Fluorescens) to try and rebalance my GI tract. I have used copious amounts of Probiotics (Bio-k brand, well respected) , but they only help marginally.

Furthermore whenever I eat anything with antifungal properties such as garlic, onions, olive oil my cheek rash gets worse.

I would appreciate any thoughts on my case.
Thank You.

OK you have treated yourself isopathically. You have repeated the dose and have established an artificial dis-ease state which belongs to the isopathic substance rather than to you.
If a proved remedy had been given then it would be easier to help. Instead you require a remedy HOMEOPATHICALLY similar to this new state to restore balance.
This means you give a full case before the isopathy was used and after. It also means you don't use further isopathic substances which will only complicate things further.
Post as much useful info as you can with ths in mind for further consideration.

Thanks for the insight Frank,

Pre - Candida Nosode...

1) Very healthy, maybe one cold a year. Athletic, always hot, sweaty. Didn't mind cold. Shy to talk to groups, but not friends. Quick temper, could lead to fights. Tend to take a viewpoint and hold on to it strongly. Skin would get acne, also oily when consuming too much sugar. Fair skin, pink tones. Slightly obsessive about appearance, especially skin. Very self-aware..too much. Will over analyze situations. No GI tract problems, except for appendix removal. High levels of gas only when eating alot of fibre (40-50 gms).

Post- Candida Nosode

2) Skin rash on cheeks,(red, bumpy, form crust, flaky skin, real attractive!) worse with heat, worse with anti-fungal foods (olive oil, garlic, onions). Coating on tongue, which is worse at the base of the tongue, also worse with anti -fungals. Prominent grooves down middle of tongue, didn't have before. Sluggish GI tract, appears to be stagnant, little or no gas even with high fibre. GI tract hurts, achy pains. Tempermant much the same pre-nosode. Quick temper, with angry thoughts. Still shy in front of groups, to talk. However, I am now very depressed much of the time, due to rash on skin. Constantly trying to think of ways to get rid of the bacteria in my GI tract. Feel that no one understands what I am going through.

However, I have not had a cold or been sick at all since taking the nosode. Still sweaty and do not like heat. Hard to concentrate on work, extracurricular activities, due to obsessing about getting rid of bacteria in my GI Tract, as well as fixing my skin.

Thanks to everyone for their opinion.

Can you supply any details about tis isopathic substance you took? Reckon going to have to start clearing that out with Sulphur but would like some more on the 'enemy within'.

Sorry to interupt the thread, but just curious - why would the consumption of meat trigger worsening of symptoms? I was just wondering.

Why? As is disordered. Meat is hard to digest and remains long in GI tract. Here there is sluggishness and also presence of 'rotting meat bacteria' on tongue. Meat then aggravates or increases stress in this area.

Yes, the substance I took was a homeopathically prepared nosode of candida albicans 30C.

Also it would appear that the meat causes worsening of my skin because of thr reason frank mentions, that the predominnant bacteria in my GI tract seems to favor meat. This is the case with Pseudomonas Fluorescens , which is a non-fermenting, but rather a putrefying bacteria. The normal human GI tract is supposed to contain predominantly fermenting bacteria. I have upset this balance by killing off the yeast, which let this other bacteria room to grow. I have not been able to fix this situation yet.

Thank you for the thoughts, I appreciate the discourse.

That comment about meat being hard to digest puzzles me. I've heard it said many times before, but there's nothing that settles better with me than a few slices of venison. And this follows many years of strict vegetarianism.
I suppose it's because we are all different. Some more adapted to eating meat, some veggies.

OK Sulphur 200c in medicinal solution to start. Make up as follows. Get a 100ml amberglass bottle with a good seal from the chemist. Pour in 50ml distilled/purified water into it. Next add 10ml of vodka. Drop a pill of the sulphur in. Bang bottle on palm of hand 4 times and take a tablespoon as a dose ONCE ONLY. Store bottle in cool dark place in case require second dose.

This should begin to clear out the artificial dis-ease. Be warned yor skin is likely to get worse before it gets better. The stomach flora will need attention too. Post progress two days after remedy.

To follow..calc carb.
