Vitamins........metagenics

You should ask your Chiropractor if anyone has had that happen when starting the vitamins. I used to work for one and Chiropractic really helped my family and myself become healthier. Also eat a lot of organic Yogurt(Yo Baby Yogurt is really good and not just for babies) and you can also apply the yogurt(plain yogurt) to the infected area. My Doctor recommended eating about 3 servings of yogurt or more a day. I also had migraine headaches but I am now Migraine free if you would like more info on what I did please respond in a private message. Good Luck yeast infections are not fun.

Hi T.---Why did the chiro recommend these vitamins for you? Did he test you for deficiencies?

I am taking a series of wellness classes offered by a Naturopath who has her PhD in nutrition. In her classes we learn that supplementation of isolated supplements is useless at best and potentially dangerous at worst. Unless you are deficient, supplementing can throw your carefully balanced antioxidant and vitamin status out of balance. That may be what is happening to you now. Having said that, I do not trust our food supply to provide me with the nutrition necessary for disease prevention. It is best to supplement with a WHOLE FOOD based supplement, one that gives your body a broad range of nutrients that it can pick and choose from as necessary. I know of one that has 15 published, independent studies to show how it impacts the immune system, DNA repair and protection, cardiovascular health and absorbability.

If you would like any of the articles I have concerning the dangers of isolated nutrients, please let me know. I can also help with other nutritional questions that you might have. I always share my resources so that you can make the best decision for you and your family. I'm happy to help Good luck. D. ###-###-####

Hi T.,

Yogurt is supposed to help prevent yeast infections (eating it, of course). Maybe give that a try if you aren't already.

Good luck

is it dr denboer? metagenics is probably the best brand their is and he goes through rigorous testing with them. it might just be your body resisting your new healthy lifestyle - its called a "healing crisis" where your body gets worse before it gets better. keep on it - youll feel great soon enough!

Ask your chiropractor about proanthocyanidins. Metagenics is a competitor of nutraMetrix. I work with nutraMetrix. (We carry isotonic delivery products, they don't.) Here nor there...one of the products that we have impacts the bacteria that causes yeast infections. They probably have something that does as well.

Or ~ are you using Tide? I used to yet yeast infections from when my mom used Tide. Weird I know, but the doctors identified it!

Now, of course, I drink my vitamins and am on the path to wellness just like you! Good job!

You have to remember that even when using vitamins and supps, the body is going to start getting rid of toxins and all the yucky stuff you've built up previously.

So it may not be a bad thing getting the yeast infections. You might have an overabundance of yeast in your system too. A dark field scan might be helpful to get. I can tell you where to get that, if you're in SE Michigan.

Ask your chiropractor as well. But gynecological troubles are the chiro's area of expertise.

As someone that has worked for a Chiropractor, and had clients that has seen a few - I am sad to say I do have a slightly jaded opinion of them... Especially when they feel they can 'cure' the body.

I also suffer headaches and migraines, which I know from first-hand experience - It is not fun.

However, I can speak from my experience what I know works for me. Reflexology, Massage and MSM (a natural supplement that you can find in the health food store, and it does not cause a yeast infection in the body - at least, not for me.). Oh - and I do take a probiotic as well. I prefer refrigerated probiotics as these are more potent and work best.

I noticed as I had weekly sessions in reflexology (as I was in school - we worked on each other - so it was the perfect way to gauge this), my migraines/ headache pain lessened DRAMATICALLY, along with the frequency. I have a few triggers - and they lessened as well. Massage helped me, too - but not nearly as much as the Reflexology did. I also have a few oils (one from Hawaii) that works on the neurological issues many can have - and it's amazing! :)

As for yeast - this can indicate infections in the body as well. Yeast typically gathers in the colon first. A colonic may help (Colonics are a very good way to avoid a cold if you get one in time - usually just as you feel the cold coming on) Or you could just decide to stop taking these supplements.

If you are really interested in helping your body and getting yourself healthy, the best way is to watch what you eat as that can help your body. Eat raw veggies, raw fruit, nothing processed or greasy. Lots of water (people get headaches if they are dehydrated), less sugar. You eat the way nature intends for you to do so. (There are no 'supplement' trees out there in the forest, right?)

If your headaches are related to hormones, then reflexology and/ or massage can assist you a great deal naturally as well, just as it can if it is stress related. I know I prefer having an hour massage over a 15 minute adjustment any day!
(Remember - Migraines are usually linked to digestive issues, feminine issues or stress. Mine are triggered by sinuses and stress. Reflexology works great for this as it works for both.)

I worked for a chiropractor in Sterling Heights that actually used scare tactics to gain clients. He had the same clients in four times a week, weekly for longer than was necessary for their complaints. The body cannot handle adjustments that often as that can cause damage to the ligaments and weaken them. Many are out to use up the insurance money clients have. It is very hard to find a good Chiro that does not embrace what natural healing should be about. The person I was with decided to touch my son when I had him with me one day when I was just cleaning my massage studio without my permission - he was messing with his neck. I'm lucky I got my son away as quickly as I did, as I have known others that have had seizures from just that. And this guy did not have my son's medical information~ just a 'God' complex.

Although I am not familiar with metagenics, one of a couple of things may be going on so here are some questions that you can ask your chiropractor. Are metagenics whole food supplements? It could be that your body was so full of toxins that the yeast infections are the initial reaction in getting rid of the toxins. The probiotic is definitely good. That helps get the good bacteria into your body. Does the probiotic get the good bacteria directly into the colon in its original form? Probiotics work best by getting directly into the colon, where most of the bad bacteria in the body resides. Hope this helps
