In 1953 Dr Orian Truss discovered the devastating effects of
antibiotics in an Alabama (USA) hospital. During a ward round Truss was
intrigued by a gaunt, apparently elderly man who was obviously dying. However,
he was only in his forties and in hospital for four months. No specialist had
been able to make a diagnosis. Out of curiosity Truss asked the patient when be
was last completely well.
The man answered that he was well until six months before
when he had cut his finger. He had received antibiotics for this. Shortly
afterwards he developed diarrhoea and his health deteriorated. Truss had seen
before how antibiotics cause diarrhoea. It was known that Candida was
opportunistic and thrived in debilitated patients, but now Truss wondered if it
might not be the other way round, that Candida actually caused the debilitated
condition.
He had read that potassium iodide solution could be used to
treat Candida infestation of the blood. So he put the patient on six to eight
drops of Lugol's solution four times a day for 3 weeks and soon the patient was
again completely well.
Soon afterwards he had a female patient with a stuffy nose, a
throbbing headache, vaginitis and severe depression. To his amazement all her
problems immediately cleared with Candida treatment. Some time later he saw a
female patient who had been schizophrenic for six years with hundreds of
electroshock treatments and massive drug dosages. He started treating the woman
for sinus allergies with a Candida remedy. Soon she had recovered mentally and
physically, and remained well.
From then on he treated his patients against Candida at the
slightest indication of its presence. Many of his patients made remarkable
recoveries from most unusual conditions, including menstrual problems,
hyperactivity, learning disabilities, autism, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis
and auto-immune diseases such as Crohn's disease and lupus erythematosus.
Every experienced naturopath can relate similar success
stories. Also some alternative medical practitioners have realized the curative
potential of anti-Candida therapy, as for instance Dr William Crook who wrote
several books about the successful treatment of allergies and hyperactive
children. [2007]
