bifidus infantis

Posted on May 5th, 2008 by Bird : Bird Bird
More on this amazing critter.  After 15 years in the dark, I have seen the light.  I didn't believe my eyes for quite awhile expecting to crash as I had so many times before but something was working.  I googled candida and bifidus.  Then I started testing my new freedom harder.  Quite hard.  Without limits. 

Wow.  Pan pizza twice in a few days.  Toast for breakfast.  A milkshake with a burger.  Bread pudding with rum sauce.  Linguini Alfredo with clam sauce and cheddar biscuits.  A grilled ham and cheese sandwich.   I'm obviously bulletproof in just a matter of days thanks to "Babylife" by Solaray.  No die-off symptoms either. 

Bifidus Infantis must've been what was missing in my colon.  I've since read that there are three kinds of Bifidi you can try one at a time and that you should even try them in combination if one doesn't work.

Wow.  For me it's like being handed a new life ... today right now.

Simple sugars move through the intestines too quickly to cause problems.  It's the complex sugars a person gets from eating grains that candida thrives on.  Candida moves up high in the digestive tract and forms a pocket in the duodenum.  That's what makes it so hard to cure.

What did I try before?  Lots of lactobacillus, enemas, lots of Emergen-C, garlic, olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, citrus seed extract, oIl of oregano, pau d'arco, golden seal, colloidal silver, super digestaway, cold cayenne, dong quai, years of  gluten and estrogen free diets, and many yeast pharmaceuticals, and  multi-vitamin miracles.

Wow. 

Babylife.

THREE MONTHS LATER
I passed this along to some of my friends with the same problem, different symptoms, and they got relief too.  Months later things are better and better for us all.

It was hard to recognize how strong and steady the improvement was going to be when I jotted this post down  a few months ago because I was taking three things at once when I started.  I had to figure out which one was working.  My ability to take medicine waxed and waned.   The fact that I wasn't barfing and getting migraines after eating whatever I wanted was proof enough to keep me trying.  The sinus problems are very minor now.  The yeast infections are under control.  Still working on decreasing the intensity when the progesterone kicks in during my monthly cycle. 

My friend was looking at having his gallbladder removed.  He didn't know what was wrong with him and neither did his doctor ... although they both suspected celliac disease.  After talking to him about this for a month or more, I literally put him in the car, took him to the store, put the bottle in his hand and he almost bought something else instead.  I pointed out that we came for Bifidus Infantis because that's what he wanted to try and the Babylife by Solaray had the greatest amount of that ingredient.  He took some in the car on the way home and he was immediately converted.  Now he's the one telling people , even strangers, about it.

If you've got this problem, I know how miserable you are.  Start with a single scoop each day and see how it makes you feel.  I take two or three on a day when I recognize symptoms coming back.  I use those symptoms as a reminder to stick to the good habits I learned  when I thought I was a celliac and mellow out my diet for a few days.   I'm  taking primadolphilus by Nature's Way now too. 

Celliac disease is especially poignant to me now that I know just how those treefrogs feel who are dying in the rainforest.  Fungal infections on their skin look like athlete's foot.  The dis-ease affects the electrolyte balance in their bodies and ultimately causes their hearts to stop. 

I can't tell you how many times I sat on the bathroom floor totally dehydrated, constipated, waiting for the estrogen to kick in and start my menstrual cycle as I barfed ... because candida love progesterone and can extend the time a woman's body produces it.  So while the candida is reproducing like mad waiting for the massive die off to occur when the estrogen finally does kick in ... what would cure me then?  Drinking electrolytes (Emergen-C or Gatorade ), but it took two days to recover. 

I asked the treefrog expert who discovered that it was a fungus that was causing all the problems (she's at the university where I work).  She says probiotics work for frogs in the lab too, but how are you going to treat them out in the field?   I say let's find a way!

Bifidus Infantis eats fungus.  Make a paste out of the powder and water.  Put it on your athlete's foot fungus.  The itching stops immediately.  The skin heals in hours not days.  Try it on the outside first if you want.  Then try it on the inside.  There's lot of information on the Web about probiotics.   Explore all you want!  But if you want relief from celliac disease and candida, go this way!

Progesterone kicking in, a lot of stress from many different aspects of life bearing down, monkey mind going full tilt … I found myself getting really sick yesterday at a time when I could scarcely afford the luxury of being so perfectly miserable.  As a result I took a teaspoon of bifidus infantis three times that morning (once every two hours) as the symptoms would disappear and reemerge.  The most I'd ever taken before was half a teaspoon across a whole day.  I added a total of five primidolphilus tabs chasers.  I'm very pleased to report that it appears that it was the right thing to do.  I avoided the misery I have come to know so well. over the past fifteen years.  By afternoon everything had smoothed out.  I wouldn't be writing this if I didn't believe it could help other people too.

I started with allergies that became sinus headaches and turned into migraines because I didn't know what to do.  Things kept getting worse and worse until I was getting sick almost everyday.  Since I started taking bifidus infantis I don't have those problems, especially since I discovered that taking more actually works when a little bit doesn't do the job!  Babylife is a probiotic I get from the co-op.  The product is available in the refrigerator located on the end of the isle by the vitamin section.  It's $16 a bottle and it lasts several weeks.  If you've got sinus problems, I'd try this for sure because it's something your body needs anyway. 

This week I'm working on four murals, two art shows, painting my neighbors house, and I faux finished two walls in my house (yesterday).  Talk about an energy boost.  This was impossible just a few months ago.

What food allergies?  No more migraines.  No more PMS.  I take a dose of probiotics weekly now.  When I remember.

I only remember to take it now when I'm under a tremendous amount of stress and I've done something like … sleep in the chair because I'm mad … and my body gets outta balance.  Oh yeah, that's when I notice familiar symptoms creeping back.  BLAM!  I hit 'em with a dose of bifidus, get off the seratonin train and stop filling myself with carbs (as that same pattern emerges yet again) … Voila!  I escape the consequences once more!  (While becoming ever more conscious.)
