Candida Recovery

Info on the parathyroid, parotid, betaine Hcl

The sole purpose of the parathyroid glands is to control calcium within the blood in a very tight range between 8.5 and 10.5. In doing so, they also control how much calcium is in the bones, and therefore, how strong and dense the bones are.

When the parathyroid shuts down -- stress causes this -- then you don't get enough hydrochloric acid in the stomach to break the calcium down. This provides the perfect environment for candida to grow.

How can you tell if it's working? Muscle testing, or kinesiology, is a quick and simple way to test it. It's not scientific and of course these methods would be refuted by "medical professionals".  Personally, I have found that a kinesiologist can provide me with just as or more accurate diagnoses as medically trained professionals.  

What can you do to make it function again? There are two products that I am aware of, because I had to take both of them (not at the same time, but when I ran out of one, the doctor put me on a different one). One is called Parathyroid or Parotid (can't remember) and it's made by Rajuuva. The other is called Para Thyrolate, and Progressive Laboratories makes it. I know that Dr. Piller's office, The Naturopathic Center, sold it to me.  A google search will find you several sources, see below for some. This is what it looks like:

I found this brand on Amazon but I never took this one:

The Parotid

The parotid gland is responsible for the first stage of starch digestion.  I'm not sure exactly where it is ... near the jaw or in the neck. You can ask Dr. Piller's office if you want to do muscle testing for it.  At some point I was not digesting my starches so he put me on 2 per day (one in the morning and one at night) of this product. You can now buy it at amazon.com. Click the link below to go directly to amazon.com to make a purchase.

(I am an Amazon affiliate, and if this bothers you, buy your product wherever you want. I don't generate enough commission to warrant a minimal payout.  As of June 2020 it's been three years since I got any Amazon commission.)

If you do have a problem with your parathyroid, you are likely not digesting proteins, as mentioned elsewhere.  Betaine Hydrochloric acid will help create acid in your stomach. 

Take Betaine with meals to help digest proteins.  You want to get a brand that has TABLETS, as opposed to encapsulated pills.  Encapsulation will cause the betaine to wait until it is in the intestinal tract before starting to work, and you don't want this. You want the Hcl to start working in the stomach. I took the Standard Process brand from the USA, and I cannot tell if the Natural Factors brand is in tablet form or not.

Remember that calcium is a protein, and it needs acid to digest.  Therefore, if you are not digesting proteins, you are not getting enough calcium either!  This is crucial.  Consider taking pre-acidified liquid cal-mag to get calcium into your body. This will help your muscles relax, and will help you sleep if you suffer from insomnia, as I did.  Shop around to find a brand that does not contain sweeteners.  (Fruit flavor does necessarily mean there is fruit in it, but check.) Below are some I found on Amazon. I bought mine from Dr. Piller's office years ago.  Our local health food stores carry it. Shop around if you must. The last one shown is sweetened with stevia and xylitol.

"Treating the vagina alone is often a waste of time and money," says William Crook, M.D., author of The Yeast Connection.  "Although vaginal suppositories may help, we also need to concentrate on putting the right things in your body to take care of the source of the problem."

On a website that no longer exists, http://www.healthyideas.com/healing/vitamin/ail/yeast/more2.html, it said  "But since these medications (i.e. Monistat) won't kick candida out for good, and since yeast infection recurrence is common, doctors say you have to be a bad host if you want to stay yeast-free."

And you know what they mean by this? It means you are responsible for maintaining a sugar-free yeast-free diet with acidophilus for a healthy intestinal track.

So for all of you who keep asking me "Do I have to go on the diet? Is there any other way?"

No.
