++>Thanks Marc I'll look into this.

There are other seaweed/aloe vera products sold in health food stores
or online (e.g., Sea Energy), so it's possible these may be as good
for you, but of the ones I've tried, none were as good as Seasilver.
I think this is because they've done something to it which lowers the
surface tension, which increases absorption (it also doesn't need
to be shaken up before use, which is unique and must also be related
to this processing)

++> Thanks again, very useful information. Can't write much today, having a
bad day. I'll stay in touch with the group when I can.

Kind Regards
Rachel

some other things I've found useful to keep the thrush
under control (but it's never gone away completely yet):

Thanks for list of supplements. I will look into SBO's and Custom
Probiotics. Iused to be too allergic any bacteria to take any form of
probiotics as it would trigger an allergic reaction in my stomach. However
I'm doing better and find I can tolerate probiotics now. Can't tolerate
Grapfruit seed extract since its citrus. Thanks for all the links.

Probiotics -- fight off the bad yeast/bacteria with good
bacteria. Seems like the higher-potency probiotics work
better in general. The highest potency one I've found
(and the one I still have in my fridge) are from
Custom Probiotics:

http://customprobiotics.com/

The founder of this company had chronic candida, and
believes the only way to overcome it is by massive
amounts of probiotics. The dosage I took was 200 billion
organism a day, which is about 100 times more than
what you'll find at the brands in the health food store.

Soil Based Organisms -- there is a class of good bacteria
which is not normally found in the human digestive tract,
but nonetheless it loves to feed on candida and wipe it
out. There are a variety of products out there, but the
one I've been using (and is easy to find in the health
food stores) is Primal Defense:

Citrus (Grapefruit) Seed Extract -- Rachel said she
had problems with citrus, although I'm not sure that
citrus *seeds* are the same thing as eating citrus.
I know that in my own case, eating oranges makes
my ES worse, however, citrus seed extract seems fine.
The best product I've used for this is Agrisept-L, which
is an MLM product but is also something that I never
develop a sensitivity to (unlike the store brand "GSE"):

With all of the above, it would be wise to start with
small amounts (to prevent a massive die-off) and build
up to the recommended dosage (or whatever dosage you
find works best for you)

>>Thanks, Rachel,
Glad to hear you are not giving up and feel that there are things which can
still help you. I was initially concerned that you thought your nerve
damage
was beyond your control. Do you do all you can for your lymphatic system?
I am
such a great fan of lymphatic support--it really helped me so much.
Hope you get the calm you need to recover,
Diane

++>Thanks Diane. I hope to solve my housing problems ASAP and then get loads
of calm and rest :-) Lymphatic support is something else I will look into
when I get the opportunity. Many thanks for the recommendation.

Best Wishes
Rachel
