My Personal Health Journey

Faith Barnard

I was in my mid 30′s and was in a challenging romantic relationship. I was eating like most Americans, on the run and stress was high in my life. I admit it I’m also a bit of a workaholic. Two years into the above mentioned relationship and I realized something was terribly wrong. I was reacting to just about everything I ate and my ability to digest my food was greatly challenged. I was tired and foggy headed all the time. I had leg cramps and dozens of symptoms.

In fact I had so many symptoms that it was hard to nail down what was going on which only led to more frustration and a feeling I was becoming an hypercondriac. I was use to being active and now I felt tired all the time and I would cry at the drop of a hat.

As spirit guided me I discovered while traveling to Vancouver Canada a book called the Yeast Connection. I read part of the book while in the book store and immediately bought it and when I returned home I took the candida test. I was amazed I had almost all the symptoms of a severe candida infection.

What I learned was it was systemic which means I not only had candida in my gut but it had migrated into my blood steam and thus my whole body was dealing with an candida infection. My first approach was to try to get rid of the yeast infection.

I first went through normal medical channels and was prescribed nystatin a anti-fungal drug often prescribed by doctors. Unfortunately it only worked as long as I was taking the drug. I tried several drugs and finally I was introduced to an incredible nutritionist. She was skilled at iridology and used it as one of her tools for diagnosis. She also used several types of blood work to confirm her diagnosis. In the whole time I worked with her she was dead on accurate.

I took a year where I did not work and I went through an intense detox and candida diet for one year and continued to use her services for several years there after. At the end of the first year I felt fabulous and felt I was starting to get my life back.

However, due to stress and diet though my diet according to most standards is quite good, I started to experience the same issues again in my early 40′s and again in my early 50′s. I not only had challenges with digestion, but respiratory, ear infections, sinus and depression to name a few.

I am 55 now and Christmas of last year everything came to a head again. This time my hormones were totally out of wack. Because I really know my body and nutrition my suspicion was a combination of candida and mercury poisoning.

Back when I was being treated by my nutritionist I knew it would be a good idea to remove my mercury amalgams however the expense of the dental work stopped me. I knew from my blood work I was dealing with mercury poisoning so my cleansing helped but the main culprit was still in my mouth.

As long as I was very strict with my diet and taking a heavy load of nutritionals I had some semblance of a healthy normal life. Add stress and sugar into my diet and eventually all hell would break loose.

At the beginning of this year I started an ongoing mercury and candida detox. Not pretty but very necessary. It took months for the panic attacks to subside and I went about doing research to find a great biological dentist. I found a beautiful lady in Austin Texas who has a passion to get mercury out of people’s mouths.

Her daughter is Autistic and she suspects her heavy mercury exposure as a dentist contributed to her daughters condition. Of course for the most part dentist refrain from publicly admitting the mercury poses health hazards and simply promote non-mercury dentistry for cosmetic reasons.

Please refer to my article, FDA conflict of interest in the “In the News” section of my blog for more information on the challenge of truth or lack of in dentistry due to governmental pressures.

As of today I have half my mercury removed from my mouth and I’m saving up to complete my dental work. It will be a huge day of celebration when I am able to complete my dental work.

The point of sharing my story with you is two fold. One so you may get to know me personally and to know if you are challenged with health concerns that there is hope.

The good news there is much better tools today to address candida. However no one gets an candida over growth without an underlying cause.

This condition left unchecked will effect your digestion, your mind, hormones, and just about every bodily function. It is nothing to fool around with and you must take it seriously. Candida infections left unchecked also can lead to other health issues as well.

Because of the world toxicity, stress, poor diet, and depleted foods candida and related health issues are at epidemic levels. Sign up for our Newsletter and stay in touch with this blog for a multitude of articles and tips and products that can help you get your health back on track.
