Hoodia Think Will Lose Weight...Youdia Will!
I Thought I Was Going to Die (A Story of Candida) - A first person article about candida (thrush) and how the symptoms can be scary. Dry mouth, dry throat, sore tongue.  The danger of it advancing throughout the body.

It was around 2 a.m. the last time I caught a glimpse of the Grim Reaper out of the corner of my eye. I jumped from the bed with a fierce burning in my throat and it had shut off my airway. The only breath I could get was from sucking with all of my might through my nose. Water helped of course and when I finally reclaimed my wind, my throat burned like crazy. A little of juice from a fresh lemon seemed to cut away the acid that lined my throat.

It took about 30 minutes for me to completely recover enough to go back to bed.

I have become a self-appointed expert in the fields of Reflux, Acidophilus, and Candida.

Acidophilus is available over the counter in capsule form. I keep a bottle on my dressing table even though I have learned how to prevent Reflux. Candida is a whole other deal.

I have Candida (thrush, yeast infection) almost every time I have to take an antibiotic. By the time the antibiotic clears the infection, bronchitis, or cold, I have contracted the Candida.

Candida is not easy to conquer. I take 4 of the acidophilus capsules twice a day. In addition to that, I keep several small canisters of the flavored yogurt and will eat one of those at night before going to bed. After about a week I have the bad bacteria on the run.

There are good and bad bacteria as far as our health goes. With 60 to 70 million Americans suffering from various digestive diseases, that means we need to pay attention to those little critters working 'round the clock inside of our bodies.
