?Immune system a bit low
I have recently had a couple of doses of candida, now have an infection under my arms. Itching driving me mad. I am onantibiotics and plan to take acidophillus after Ive finished the course.
I do wonder if my immune system is a bit low, any suggestions to get it improved?
I am vegan (nearly four years).
Answers:
Hi Caringsoul,a good quality vit c would be a starting point, either 500/1000mg is recommended to boost immune system.

Answers:
I would suggest garlic (take this with evening meal if you are taking acidophilus before breakfast) and a good vitamin B complex. I second the suggestion about vitamin C as Gaz recomended.
Also zinc taken before bed.
Herbs that can help stimulate the immune system are echinacea or astralagus.
If you want to PM me a copy of three days food and drink diary, I will gladly take a look at it and see how you might be able to improve your nutrition (I'm a nutritional counsellor and have supported a lot of people through candida overgrowth). I expect the candida has undermined your immune system and this is the root of where you should start to rebuild yourself.
I hope you are feeling better soon

I was going to take acidophillis after the antibiotics had finished, should I take them now before the course is complete?.
I will start vit C. and echinacea. I think I have some zinc.

Hi,
I hadsimilar symptoms as you and used diet to keep at bay the candida. I have not had it return since and have also helped people with similar problems.
You are not alone... keep up withthe diet.
You may also like to try Tachyon energy - I have used it many timesto help speed the recovery of such ailments.
Best of luck.

Itchy armpits?
Have you considered aluminium poisoning? What deodorants do you use? Most commercial deodorants contain aluminium and itchy armpits is a sign of aluminium poisoning.
