Slide 2:
This article will talk briefly about candida and smoking based on a real case of a patient. After 10 years and over a dozen doctors, this man had to finally diagnose himself by doing internet research. Then, he found a good doctor in California and began the candida treatment about 3 weeks ago.
Slide 3:
Over the last couple of weeks, most of his symptoms have receded with the exception of mucousy eyes and dark circles. Could this be because he hasn’t quit smoking? While he knows that smoking is not good, what are the direct effects it has on his treatment and chances for recovery? Does anyone know exactly how it compromises my recovery? He’s trying to quit but with everything else (including eating such a strict diet), he finds it very difficult.
Slide 4:
Quitting smoking is indeed a hard thing to do. Smoking does do a lot of harm besides just the general “bad for you lungs” information. What another person did that least made it a little less unhealthy (if that is possible) is she switched to an “all natural, no preservatives” brand. She actually went through withdrawal of all the chemicals they use on normal cigarettes!
Slide 5:
Her family and friends also have seemed help her to cut down as well. Her theory in the switch was to cut back on at least some of the extra chemicals and deal with the nicotine problem later. Besides damage to your lungs smoking also decreases the oxygen levels in your blood and being that most tobacco is cured with sugar it also will feed the yeast and increase blood sugar levels. Her advice would be however to get yourself healthy and deal with the smoking issue when you feel you are emotionally ready.
