AceShowbiz - The last song recorded by Whitney Houston before her untimely passing last February has been released. A duet with "American Idol" alum Jordin Sparks from Salim Akil-directed movie, "Sparkle", the upbeat track titled "Celebrate" was premiered Monday, May 21 on Ryan Seacrest's radio show.
"Just gonna celebrate, come on yeah, come on and celebrate/That's what I want, I wanna celebrate," Houston and Sparks, who portray mother and daughter duo in the musical film, sing in part of the chorus. At the end of the tune produced by R. Kelly, Sparks can be heard giving a "We love you, Whitney" shout-out.
The release of "Celebrate" came just one day after Houston's legacy was celebrated at this year's Billboard Music Awards with a tribute performance. On Sunday, May 20 night, Sparks delivered a rousing rendition of "I Will Always Love You" before presenting a posthumous award to Houston's teenage daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown.
After the tune made its debut on Ryan's radio show, Sparks took to her Twitter to post, " 'I celebrate YOU, you celebrate ME!' #Celebrate #Sparkle." She later used her account to share her thought on reactions to her Houston tribute as writing, "I am overwhelmed by the kind words about the tribute last night! Thank you! I was a ball of every emotion possible! #whitney #celebrate."
"Sparkle" is a remake of the 1976 music-themed film of the same title. Inspired by the story of The Supremes, it follows the journey of the three Williams sisters, who begin singing in Harlem in the late 1950 before finding fame as a girl group. Their sudden rise, however, unravels their personal lives. The movie is set to open in U.S. theaters on August 17.

SITE NEWS - Page 1
19/12/15 - Shown below are some shots recently taken for a corporate calendar for a local business. The calendar is also illustrated to the right.
I think the key to a good local calendar shot is to be a simple uncluttered composition of a recognisable location, which should remain easy on the eye for the entire month, and I hope Ive managed to achiev that with these images.
This was my first all-digital project, mainly for reasons of time and cost constraints, and Im pleased to report that the customer is happy with the outcome. I was additionally tasked to provide some local scenes to illustrate the companys website, which were also shot specifically for the project and were also well received, so all in all, a successful project which fulfilled the brief. But now Im itching to get back to my lovely old film cameras and make some slightly more arty images.
30/09/2015 - I know, its been an age since I put anything new on here. Ive been a bit busy with the framing, and maybe just a bit lazy, but Ive admitted to not being prolific, and I have been making photos, so dont be too harsh on me.
After a long period of lurking, I finally signed up to the filmwasters online forum, so Ive been posting pics fairly regularly on there for the last year. Its a nice, friendly, supportive community and has inspired me to find the time to take more photos. Theres a link to filmwasters.com just a little further down this page. Id recommend a visit - theres always something interesting being discussed.
The five photos to either side of these words were taken at Glastonbury Festival in June this year.
Itd been five long years since my last visit, and I wondered if it would live up to my memories... but I neednt have worried. It was every bit as fantastic as I remembered.
I took along a recently aquired Olympus OM4 with a 35-105 Zuiko lens and an assortment of black and white film. I only succeeded in shooting a couple of films over the weekend, and while Im reasonably happy with some of the shots, theres plenty of room for improvement, so Ill just have to try for a ticket to return next year.
Im thinking its about time I freshened up the galleries on here, so I intend to spend some time preparing some new images and will aim to get them up on the site before christmas.
I dont want to simply add to whats already here, as I personally dont think stuffing a site full of images does any favours to the photographs, the photographer, or the viewer. I reckon less is most definitely more in this respect, so my refresh will be to replace rather than increase the content of the galleries.
04/09/2014 - A pair of exhibitions I managed to get to in August, from different ends of the photographic spectrum. The National Theatre in London is showing Charlie Waites Silent Exchange until 20th September, and I reckon its well worth a visit. Ive long been an admirer of Charlies work and have a number of his books, so this was a good opportunity to see some familiar images along with some newer work. Photography books are great, but they can sometimes seem to constrain a photograph, both physically and by the printing process, which can leave the photos looking a little flat. Theres really nothing to rival standing in front of a beautifully printed and well-presented original print, and in my humble opinion, this show hits the spot.
Click here to visit www.charliewaite.com
The second exhibition I visited was the Taylor Wessing 2013 Portrait Prize, currently showing at the Beaney Institute in Canterbury. In truth, Im not really sure where to begin with contemporary portraiture. Some of it looks great, but a lot of it I just dont get. I have a kind of emperors new clothes feeling about it. The first thing that comes to mind is so what..? But I suppose thats the subjectivity of art for you... My personal opinion is that the power of the portrait should be in the portrait, not in the caption. Having said that, the winner is a great portrait deserving of the prize, and the whole exhibition is beautifully printed and nicely presented (as it should be). My pick of the bunch... the third prize winner, a serene black and white portrait of Kofi Annan.
12/08/2014 - Im delighted to have had a busy week mounting and framing exhibition prints for fantasy artist, Danny Flynn, who, as well as being a supremely talented and imaginative artist, is also a bloody nice bloke.
Said exhibition is the world science fiction convention at Londons ExCel Arena. Pretty high profile, eh..?
Danny is responsible for the jacket art on a good number of sci-fi, fantasy and horror books by such well known authors as George RR Martin, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clark, to name but three.
Click here to visit www.dannyflynn.com
Thanks, Danny, for placing your trust in me to get this important job done for you, and the very best of luck with the convention.
11/07/2014 - Its been a little while since my last ramblings, so I thought its time for a few new words. In truth, Ive no idea whether any of this ever gets read, I mean, I know the site gets visitors, the stats from my web host tell me that much, but as for anyone being interested enough to actually read, digest, understand, agree or be affronted by anything I write... who knows? But I think Ill continue to write, just on the vague chance that my occasional thoughts and opinions should chime with anyone out there in the real world.
This site doesnt have a specific links page. Theres a few links to various sites scattered about the news pages, but theyre a disperate bunch, and may be easy to miss, so I thought Id offer up a handful of my favourite photo sites in one easy to find bundle. Theres a mix of inspiration, information and opinion. Just click on a name and I hope youll be taken to something you agree is worth seeing. And if, after seeing some of my favourites, theres anything you think I should see, then please do let me know.

If you didnt see it, youll probably be able to find it on the BBC iPlayer, for however long they make these things available for
Having written recently about a couple of big name exhibitions in the capital, it was nice to be able to see a lovely little exhibition closer to home, when the Whitstable Horsebridge Centre showed Trevor Crones West Blean Wood.
I have a copy of Trevors first book, The Intimate Garden, which I often reach for when in need of some inspiration, as many of the locations are local to me (as is West Blean Wood). Trevor is one of those people with the rare ability to see (and capture) the pictures that the rest of us just walk past, and he makes beautifully detailed traditional darkroom prints of his elegant compositions
Trevor doesnt appear to have a dedicated website, but his work can be found on the Arena and Mirage group sites.
Click here to visit www.arenaphotographers.com or www.themiragegroup.co.uk
02/09/2013 - The News page has been looking a little bloated of late, so Ive decided to start a fresh page. Older entries are still here. You can find them by clicking the link above.
As mentioned in my last post, Genesis, the latest project by Sebastião Salgado exhibited this summer at the Natural History Museum in London. I visited last week, and spent an hour and a half mesmerised by the great mans work (I could have spent far longer, but the kids have a threshold for this kind of thing...). If you dont know Salgados work, please do take the time to find it online, but be warned, viewing on a monitor does not begin to do justice, so if you get the chance to see the actual prints on a gallery wall you should jump at it.
Click here to visit www.amazonasimages.com
The exhibition has sparked a degree of debate online, being sponsored by a major South American mining company which is reported to have a less than perfect environmental and human rights record. There is ample comment on this elsewhere on the web, and I dont feel qualified to add to it. All I will say is, in spite of the apparent sponsorship controversy, Genesis is a remarkable project. Its a monumental, awe-inspiring, uplifting, humbling acheivement, and the results are simply beautiful.
The Natural History Museum is such a photogenic building. Little stonework details and vignettes everywhere you look, and thats without taking in the exhibits. The only problem is, its just so very busy. I wonder if theyd close it for a day for me, so I could enjoy it in peace...
This snap reminds me of one of those M C Escher abstract drawings.
Some more countries from which this site has been visited to add to those previously listed: Ukraine, Hong Kong, Norway, India, Mexico, Luxembourg, Croatia and Malaysia. As always, wherever you visit from, you are most welcome. I humbly thank you for dropping by and hope you enjoy your time here and at least consider coming back sometime soon, and dont be shy, if you have any comments on the photography or my ramblings, please do drop me an e-mail. I promise Ill reply to every one.

QE 2 will sail to Asia as a 500-room floating hotel
Dubai, January 17, 2013
Iconic cruise liner MS Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), which is now in Dubai, will be re-launched as a five-star 500-room hotel in Asia, it was announced today.
QE2 will be moved today to Drydocks World Dubai for undertaking classification checks prior to her renovation as a luxury floating hotel, said a QE Dubai statement.
QE2 Dubai has created a large consortium to convert the ship into a five-star hotel, which will be managed by a prestigious international chain.
The Oceanic Group, a group of deeply-experienced advisers to cruise operators and managers in Asia, will take the lead in managing this project while Drydocks World Dubai will carry out extensive technical and operational checks prior to her move into Asia.
The vision for the QE2 is for her to become a landmark cultural and tourist attraction -- a beacon of luxury, glamour, quality and tradition -- in the heart of a leading Asian city that shares her rich maritime heritage and is prepared to give this very special ship the prominent waterfront home she so richly deserves, said the statement.
The consortium will spend many millions of dollars on the ship to restore her to the splendour of her glory days, it said.
"A number of Asian cities have expressed interest in securing this historic attraction. We have firmed up with an international tourist city in the Far East as her first destination," the statement said, without naming the city.
Before her retirement to Dubai on November 11, 2008, the QE2 took regular cruises around the world. It was earlier owned by Cunard.
Khamis Juma Buamim, chairman of Drydocks World & Maritime World, said: "We are greatly privileged to be part of this move to create history with this project, which is perhaps one of the most defining moments in maritime travel. We are pleased to be in partnership with the QE2 consortium and the Oceanic Group in the very challenging project. I have no doubt that together we will achieve total success in this endeavor."
Daniel Chui, managing director, Oceanic Group, said: "The QE2 is starting the next exciting journey of her long and illustrious career. We feel truly privileged to be part of the consortium that will take responsibility of this incredibly important piece of maritime history. We are honored that we have been chosen to manage this project to restore a truly historical icon to the days of her former glory. We promise to give the world a truly spectacular attraction."
Plans for the upgrading of the QE2 also include a shopping mall with the finest world leading brands, a QE2 Café offering meals similar to those served during cruises, three Michelin-starred restaurants, convention and meeting facilities. There will also be an onboard maritime museum displaying QE2 memorabilia and her rich history, along with a collection of treasures of Dubai, the statement said. – TradeArabia News Service

As a Colorado native and having grown up in Denver I have a special appreciation for the Rocky Mountains and the Ski and Resort community of Telluride. After graduating from Metropolitan State College in Denver with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Philosophy, I moved to Telluride to start a business at The Peaks Resort and Spa. I owned and operated this profitable and successful business in the hotel for 13 years before selling the company and beginning my real estate career.
Having lived in the Telluride region for nearly 20 years and also personally building and selling 2 custom homes in the area, I possess a unique first-hand understanding of owning and selling real estate in Telluride. As a broker with Telluride Sotheby's International Realty for 7 years, I have averaged over $10 million in sales annually. I successfully represent both Buyers and Sellers in achieving their real estate goals. One of my most recent sales of a $3 million luxury property in the Town of Telluride was depicted on HGTV, House Hunters television show. I represented the Buyer and House Hunters featured our tour of Telluride real estate and my assistance with the Buyer in their purchase of their dream vacation home in our beautiful town.
Over the years I have seen the incredible potential of growth in Telluride. I have been told by many clients that Telluride is one of the most beautiful places in the world with character and style. I enjoy traveling worldwide and have seen many amazing places, but believe that returning home to Telluride is a privilege. I am also privileged to work with Telluride Sotheby's International Realty at The Peaks Resort & Spa. In real estate, the three most important principles are location, location, location. With my office location at The Peaks I have access to top-notch resources. I will help you make wise investment choices in real estate purchases or sales while providing excellent personal service with integrity and honesty. Let me show you your home, whether vacation or permanent residence, in one of the most incredible places on earth.

Independent News & Media has denied that it is in discussions with the Daily Mail & General Trust to sell The Independent and its Sunday sister title.
An INM spokesman quoted in the Irish Times said: "Any discussions with UK publishers were solely in connection with shared services."
The denial follows The Observer story, Mail considers bid for Independent. I was sceptical in my initial reaction yesterday because it doesn't make sense for the Mail group and, despite his problems, I couldn't see Tony O'Reilly throwing in the towel just yet.
But there are dramas ahead for INM's British and Irish papers. The Irish Times claims that "deep cost cuts and job losses are expected at INM operations before the end of the year" and the UK division "is likely to suffer the heaviest cuts, with the group expected to seek 100 to 200 redundancies in the coming months, a reduction of up to 40% of its workforce."
As part of INM's cost-cutting process, the UK division has been holding talks with a number of other publishers. Aside from DMGT, there have evidently been discussions with the Telegraph Media Group and Trinity Mirror.
So what form will the cost-cutting take. The INM spokesman referred to
sharing services in order to deliver "substantial efficiencies" and to "create more efficient editorial work flows". It all sounds like out-sourcing to me.

For months now I have wanted
to take down the wall coat rack
in my small entry way. And FINALLY!!! with
the help of my wonderful husband~
it's gone and in it's place is
something more useful and
easier on the eyes. ;)
Here is how my entry way looked
(wow, this picture makes my entry look VERY small)
Anyway...that's what it has looked like
for a few years now.
4 hooks...one for each of us!
But~~>no room for guests and not easily
reachable for the little fellas in our life.
Time for a change.
I talked my hubby into helping me. I
wanted to DIABM (do it all by myself)
but truthfully...I'm not
real comfortable with the air compressor
or the nail gun. Plus, I found
it handier to have his assistance
while measuring and leveling!
YES! He is the best!
I headed to Lowe's and bought
2 pieces of MDF board.
1- 5 1/2" tall x 8ft
1- 3 1/2" tall x 8ft
My handy hubby cut
them to size for me.
We decided what height we wanted them.
And to this, there was no rhyme or reason really.
We based it off of the
previous coat rack.
Then decided a good height for
the little one's by having our
3yr. stand by the wall.
Using the nail gun we
secured 'em to the wall.
I used paintable caulk and caulked the edges, tops
and bottoms.
For the record:
But I gave it my all.
Once dry, I taped off the edges
and the top along the wall.
And painted using the color of
the trim in our house.
I gave it two good coats and
removed the tape. Oh-and I put the
outlet cover back on.
Took me some
running around to finally
find the best price on hooks.
~~>At Target of all places.
Naturally, my last stop.<~~
I bought double hook robe hooks
(that sounds redundant, lol)
and single hooks in oil rubbed bronze.
The hooks were the bulk of the cost.
Otherwise this DYI project was
very affordable!
And yes, I do still
stop and stare!
What a simple, affordable
project to breathe new life into our entry.
It even looks bigger!
Lots more hooks and the kids can reach!
And this is what my 3yr old uses some of the
hooks for:
(hee hee)
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Hacton Cruck
Hereford, Herefordshire
In glorious Herefordshire, a superb renovation of a medieval hall, with a super-stylish kitchen and the master bedroom snug under the thatch
£76 p/n
How to book
If you have any questions or want to enquire about dates, use our form to contact Phil Williams or see their website for more information.
From £76 per night
From £530 to £980 per week
Hacton Cruck is a remarkable survival – a medieval hall now in a condition beyond simple restoration (cows would feel out of place), but one feels this is what the original builders would have delighted in; the hall is already 250 years old when the Great Fire of London starts. The details are so good you won't notice them. (But do.) The arching cruck beams are original and the tapesteried space in the main room is a perfect combination of height and flagstoned floor. Here, living, cooking (in an ultra-modern open-plan kitchen) and eating happen. A wood-burner is flanked by sofas and underfloor heating in winter completes the comfort of the house deep in snow. Where better? The bathroom and twin bedroom are on the ground floor; above is a double room snug under the thatch. WiFi and music live on the entrance gallery. Logs are close by for autumn visits. Outside, the small garden and barbecue area are freshly hedged and lead back past the bulrushes to the village pub and beyond. Hereford, Dore Abbey and Hay-on-Wye provide nearby civilisation; and Skirrid (the Holy mountain) and the Brecon Beacons, freedom.

A magical house set in peaceful Herefordshire countryside...perfect. The open hall house has been beautifully restored, with lovingly-made oak furniture and fittings throughout. Comfy beds, all mod.cons. in the bathroom and kitchen area and all gently warmed by underfloor-heated sandstone flags with a log burner in the corner to top-up the cosy atmosphere. If you are interested or involved with the restoration of ancient buildings then this is the number one place to stay. There is so much to impress here, just being immersed in the medieval charm of this place is a joy. Do not miss this!

The most amazing place! Full of history and beautifully restored. The furnishings are superior, all the facilities you need. Peaceful environment. We loved it so muchwe're going back for a third time! Probably the best holiday cottage we've stayed in.
Hacton Cruck is wonderful and we feel privileged to have stayed in such a fabulous place. Thank you so much and I do hope we will be able to visit again soon.
What a beautiful place. We felt like Lord and Lady of the Manor staying at Hacton Cruck. The building itself is fantastic but unusually for self catering accommodation, everything inside it is top quality (e.g. Denby crockery, Hypnos beds, Christie towels). The owner obviously has very good taste. Our only issue was with how drafty it was. For most of the year, I don't think this would be a problem but we went shortly after Storm Doris and we did struggle to keep warm at times. This won't stop us from going back though, we fell in love with Hacton Cruck, the place is magical.
Staying at Hacton Cruck is always a special experience: this time it was a wet weekend, but it didn't dampen our enjoyment, especially with the plentiful supply of wood for the fire.The atmosphere is created by the obvious long history of the building, by the quality of the furniture and all of the domestic arrangements, not least the many tapestries on the walls. it is also a very good centre for visiting places of interest- we found it an ideal place for any Kilvert enthusiast- not only is it pleasingly close to many of Kilvert's locations, but the local vicar was one of his friend
This was our second stay at Hacton Cruck and it was as wonderful as the first time. We still sat and admired the workmanship that has gone into the restoration it's superb. We never venture far during our stay preferring to remain in the cruck as much as possible, we were cozy, warm and very comfortable. We will definitely be back.
This is our 4th year at Hacton Cruck. The house is beautifully restored and after days spent walking in the Brecon Beacons its wonderful to come back and relax together as a family in front of the fire. The magic of the place for us is that with the kids aged from 5-9 we can all be together in the one big open space whether we are cooking, reading or drawing by the fire. It's a great testimony to how well the house is looked after that in the 4 years we have been coming there , there seems to be no wear and tear at all. Historic beauty matched with all the mod cons a family could need.
We spent a glorious Christmas here. That beautiful open space twinkled with fairy lights and there was a real Christmas tree in the turn of the stairs. The fire was roaring and my jaw dropped. What an amazing experience to stay in such a unique and lovingly presented building. Everything works and there is a feeling of generosity throughout. Loads of chopped wood and kindling, ground coffee, spices, boxes of teas, comprehensive Denby crockery including jugs, meat platter, casseroles. Fantastic 16th century table. Dilys, the caretaker, found a vest I'd left behind and posted it unbidden, wow..
Hacton Cruck is a truly special place. The building has been lovingly restored and provides a luxurious environment within a piece of history. We received detailed directions and a friendly welcome once we arrived, and then were left to enjoy our week of seclusion. Fixtures and fittings are excellent, the wood pile well stocked and the tapestries beautiful. If there is another medieval hall surrounded by apple orchards that is available as a holiday destination (which I doubt) then it still wouldn't be Hacton Cruck, because this place is unique. Wonderful.
We were delighted to find such an interesting holiday property as a medieval hall and Hacton Cruck did not let us down. It was amazing to walk in and see the restored interior. There's lots to look at as it is filled with historic details and touches. It is also very comfortable and well equipped and out-ranks many other cottages that we have stayed at. Hacton Cruck sits apart from the village among trees so sitting outside is peaceful and private. Many things made this place special such as its history, the log burner and the well visited bird feeder. We will definitely visit again.
Remarkable restoration, renovation and modernization - this is truly a unique cottage experience surrounded by centuries of history, sensitively rescued and updated with the highest level of craftsmanship, imagination, design and aesthetic. It's also wonderfully tranquil, very private with nothing else except the sound of the birds and animals in the distance so it's a terrific getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life (although you can still check in with wi-fi....). The kitchen has all the amenities, and the beds are really comfortable. Congrats Phil on reviving Hacton Cruck!
Amazing restoration. Really good compromise between medieval look and 21st century amenities. The conversion is to a very high standard and the furniture which Phil made from his own oak trees is really beautiful. Hacton Cruck makes an excellent centre. We visited Hereford, Hay-on-Wye and Abbey Dore as well as many of the excentric and beautiful medieval churches in the area.

Franz Kafka
(3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-language novelist and short story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work, which fuses elements of realism and the fantastic, typically features isolated protagonists faced by bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible social-bureaucratic powers, and has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt and absurdity. His best known works include "Die Verandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), Der Process (The Trial), and Das (The Castle). The term Kafkaesque has entered the English language to describe situations like those in his writing.

Broken Arm
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
The Broken Arm,[1] also known as the Broken Arm of Dorne,[2] is a region in eastern Dorne where the Dornish peninsula juts into the narrow sea. East of the jagged coastline are the islands of the Stepstones.[3]
According to legend, a land bridge called the Arm of Dorne once connected Westeros and Essos. The Broken Arm and the Stepstones were created when the Arm of Dorne was shattered by the magic of the children of the forest.[2]

Toyota recalls 5.8 mln cars over airbag safety
Toyota Motor Corp is recalling about 5.8 million cars at home and abroad over potentially faulty air bag inflators made by Takata Corp., including those used as replacement parts following a 2010 recall. Ryan Brooks reports.
Toyota taking a hard hit from the ongoing Takata air bag scandal. It plans to recall 5.8 million MORE cars around the globe... including some Corolla and Yaris models made in Japan, China and Europe. They all include air bag inflators from Japanese firm Takata. Which have exploded and sprayed metal shrapnel into drivers' faces so far its claimed at least 16 deaths and more than 100 injuries worldwide. Recalling cars with Takata's air bags has become the costliest- and largest- car recall in history. The latest bringing the total to around 23 million cars - a bill expected to hit 10 billion dollars but SHOULDERED by its customers- Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen and nine other carmakers. Takata is crucial to carmakers because its one of the only suppliers of seatbelts and airbags. The faulty inflators lack a drying agent, linked to the explosions. This latest round of recalls excluding the U.S.- where Toyota's already got a recall for cars made during the same period in full swing.

WCCO Radio News Anchor Attacked While On His Way To Work
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A radio news anchor is back on the job in Minneapolis after a robbery assault that sent him to the hospital.
WCCO's Steve Murphy is a familiar voice in the Twin Cities. Murphy was jogging from his south Minneapolis home to the bus stop last week when he spotted a suspicious SUV slowing down near him. Murphy says the men inside the SUV threw him face down on the sidewalk, choked him and grabbed his wallet.
Murphy stumbled to a bus and the driver took him to Hennepin County Medical Center where he was treated. He says one of three men arrested in Anoka County last Thursday for a similar aggravated robbery could be involved in the attack on him.

How a group of surfers and Central American villagers banded together to fight a multinational company and save an environmentally fragile stretch of Costa Rican shoreline.
Pavones was a forgotten Costa Rican backwater located on the Golfo Dulce at the southern end of the country. "[S]ocial castaways" of every stripe found a home there, while surfers could ride waves that were "the stuff of surfing lore." By the mid-2000s, however, the town became the setting for an epic battle between Granjas Atuneras, a company that sought to establish the world's first yellow-fin tuna farm at the mouth of the Golfo Dulce, and a motley assortment of poor townspeople, surfers, and ex-felons. Drawn by the classic "David versus Goliath" narrative that pitted haves against have-nots, Evans (English/Lake Tahoe Community Coll.; In Search of Powder: A Story of America's Disappearing Ski Bum, 2010) began to report on the people and events that made the story so compelling to him. Among the many interesting individuals he met was Danny Fowlie, a former surf enthusiast and convicted drug smuggler who put Pavones on the map by building roads, a hospital, a cantina, and an exclusive ranch. He also interviewed the head of Granjas Atuneras, Eduardo Velarde, a businessman-turned-aquaculturalist who wanted to "follow in the footsteps" of underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau by establishing fish farms to feed the world demand for seafood. As the battle between anti- and pro-fishery proponents unfolded, Evans uncovered fascinating back stories about fishing practices that have led to the serious depopulation of different tuna varieties and bitter quarrels over money and property rights that led to Fowlie's personal downfall. The author's deep engagement with the narrative more than makes up for his "[in]experience in writing about surfing and aquaculture." However, the narrowness of the book's focus will likely limit its overall appeal to readers.
An informative and well-documented story for readers interested in the intersection of business and ecology.

Kitchen #4: Bai's Rescued Orphan
Name: Bai
Location: Gramercy Park, NYC
Favorite Kitchen Resources
1. Broadway Panhandler: the staff is very knowledgeable and they have everything
2. Chef's Catalog: They've got good prices and wonderful customer service.
Why my kitchen is fabulous: it makes the most of a small space.
When I bought the apartment a year ago, the kitchen had been the victim of what may be the worst renovation ever. It had floor-to-ceiling granite, lots of wasted space, no drawers at all, and not an outlet close enough to plug the stove into! (It was an investment property for the previous owner, who "fixed" it up in the hopes of a higher price).
To save money, I kept the granite and the existing new appliances, but redid the layout. My kitchen now boasts five drawers, a dishwasher, and plenty of counter and storage space. Dinners for 12 are a breeze.
3 Compelling kitchen cooking/design tips:
1. For fellow New Yorkers or anyone with a tiny kitchen: splurge on custom cabinets, it makes a world of difference, and you get a much more useable space.
2. Under-cabinet lights and a light above the stove are essential
3. Go smaller and narrower for appliances – especially for fridges and dishwashers.

|Candida, Kind of looks like a jelly like mucus
|Lighter colored candida
|Candida, Kind of looks like a jelly like mucus
|Lighter colored candida
What a great blog! Thank you for being so willing and open to sharing your experience! You commented on my blog (Advocating for Health: The Many Faces of Health and Illness) and I wanted to reply to your comment as well. You asked how I've been doing all in all since my surgeries ... and I assume with my auto immune diseases as well? I have also had/have Candida, which really kicked off the series of infections and then a massive hormonal fluctuation by way of an unplanned pregnancy, which all triggered my auto immune diseases about 5 years back. My spine condition existed prior - for about 20 years - and right about now I am not doing so well overall. My surgeries helped to "correct" my overall pain associated with my back in 1997, but I started to experience new deterioration, degeneration and early onset osteoarthritis above my fusion region in 2006, along with increased overall pain and nerve issues. In late 2006, early 2007 I began to see signs of the auto immune diseases. I have Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis. I also have a third they are not sure of yet, and are awaiting the results of treatments to see what symptoms remain a problem until they look further. In addition, around the same time I began to show signs of PCOS. One of the reasons I am anxious about starting treatments for my auto immune diseases is directly related to my history of Candida, .. along with my flares, which create chronic skin issues and fevers. Anyway, that's the situation in a nutshell. If you'd like to talk further I am more than willing and interested! You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. It's easier than doing a back and forth thru the blog comment sections. Blessings to you! CatReplyDelete
I have been suffering ftom what appears to be Candida and/or Pinworm Parasites for 7 years.I have
seen numerous Gastroentronologists--Of couse, they all ordered the same fecal tests, which all came back Negative because these tests are useless and totally inconclusive. And, get this; Only 5% of all parasites known by man today have even a chance of ever showing up through any of these "dumb fecal tests", and here's the kicker--The 5% have "a maximum" of only 20% chance of ever showing up at all. I have many photos of this Candida-- I will be glad
to send you some really good photos, but you will have to tell me how to send photos to you and remaon anonymous. Please respond ASAP.
I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis a few years back and I didn't know why it had exacerbated just a few years ago. I started taking coconut oil for the last two months and it has started clearing all my symptoms of digestive issues, my arthritis is in check and my menstrual issues have almost cleared themselves up. I was diagnosed with endometriosis last fall and I had no idea what it was or how I got it but I wanted it out of me. I read research on coconut oil and the health benefits so I just started using it. I started with a TSP a day because of"die off" symptoms. They are pretty awful but the result was WELL WORTH it!!!! I no longer take anything for my stomach issues, no hormones(thank goodness because I would have been sent to prison if I would have stayed on them), and I don't take anything for arthritic pain. I also have quit smoking because coconut oil will pull toxicants from your system and if you try to smoke it makes you physically ill. I would research more on coconut oil and it's benefits but understand this is not for the faint of heart. If you have been through back pain though I think you will take this as it comes. Anyway, I hope you are feeling better and I hope this helps you.Delete
Thanks Cat!!
Welcome to my world!!
Thank you so much for being willing to post these pictures!! I've been thinking I have candida for about a year now, finally doing something serious about it. Everytime I've told a doctor about the mucous they would always just blow it off...I've thought it was candida but now I'm sure! Thank you!!ReplyDelete
Your doctors will still blow everything you say off. I don't know why they don't believe in candida, but they don't. also... if you have candida, you probably have parasites. My one Doctor thinks I am crazy. The ear nose and throat guy believe me but has no idea how to help me.... he told me I am doing a great job with the herbs.
I am following...I've been treating for almost 3 weeks. Now, I am dealing with bladder and UTI. The worst part is ear itching, scalp itching and rectal itching, now vaginal and bladder burning.ReplyDelete
Have you done a really good parasite cleanse? When I had all those problems, I found out it was parasites for me.ReplyDelete
did you find that you saw more of the candida in your stool during die off or during a particularly bad flare up?ReplyDelete
Mostly when I saw candida in the stool, I was doing a parasite cleanse and I would give myself a warm water enema. At the end of the enema is when all the candida would come out. I never had the camera when there was a lot.
In the begining, I didn't even know to look for it.
I have no idea how you can send me photos and still remain anonymous.
You know, early on I had some great pictures but that was right before I started this blog. When I first started it, I wasn't going to post photos like that. then people started wanting to know what it looked like. Now I post all kinds of gross photos and I get thanks from those who suffer and want to see if theirs match mine.
I've discovered your blog tonight and am reading through various posts. Thanks so much for the effort you've put into this. I also appreciate your consistent integrity about insisting that this is your healing journey and others need to do their own research.
Here's my question: I've done cleanses in the past and have had a cursory look in the toilet bowl and saw strange things. Is it really worthwhile to look further? This is a totally gross question, but do you, like, break apart the feces, take material out of the toilet and so on? On the one hand I'd want to know that the efforts and suffering of the cleanse were producing results, so it might be necessary to look. But on the other hand that just seems to add a whole lot more unpleasantness, and maybe I can just assume that things are working if I come out feeling better. Any opinions?
Like you... I want to know what comes out of me .. so I go looking and yes it is very gross.
If a cleanse does not produce results, I don't ever buy it again.
Have you tried long term enzymes to treat the parasites? You wouldn't need a prescription for that. Standard Process makes one specifically targeted at killing parasites.ReplyDelete
Life With Kids
I have not tried Standard Process, but am going to look into it. Thanks!!
I appreciate you posting the pictures! I am now more certain that I do have candida because my stool has resembled that for approximately the last 5-6 years. Ever since I have added probiotics(yogurt and phillips colon health) it is nowhere near as common. Did you by any chance feel like a numbness throughout your entire body when you had candida? By the way, hot yoga like hot power vinyasa and bikram yoga seems to work out great in providing more die off of candida! Thanks again for this blog!!!!ReplyDelete
I don't remember a numbness in my body, but it has been awhile since my candida has been bad.
I bet yoga is great for getting die off out. Anything that makes you sweat helps too.
Wishing you luck and a fast heal.
Hello I have had stringy white things in my stools for some time now. Sometimes they separate off and sometimes they are not visible. My doctor did stool blood test and so happens the samples i took did not have the white strings but I have them every second movement. I will try to provide a picture next time for you to look at. I have been extremely bloated and have abdominal irritation can candida be the cause?ReplyDelete
Sounds like worms to me.Delete
I have noticed white, floating small balls in my feces for about 6 months...do u have any ideas?
Could be candida, or maybe even worms. Have you tried giving up sugar? Do you have any other symptoms like constipation? How is your digestion?Delete
Wow, this blog has been very helpful. Thanks for all of your comments and posts. Its amazing what we will share when we are desperate. Lol. Speaking of being desperate, the last few years has been hell for me. I have been incredible fatigued and feeling generally ill phor the last few years, but about six months ago I atatted getting a horrific pain in my upper right abdomen. I had CT scans and ultra sounds, every test known to man and nothing. I was put on antibiotics ans they would work for a qhile and then they wohld atop working. Then the pain morphed into a burning agony tbat ran through my whole GI tract. Ive been atruggling with this for so long, and I am in pin from my chest to my butt! I see a GI doc, but again no answers. And when I ask about candida, I am told there is not a lot of good science behind it. Luckily my GP is more open to trying diffErent things. I then tried flucanazole, and it worked, but again returned. I hae now been yrying ACV and yogurt enemas. I tried drinking it but it triggered the intense pain again. Im thinking that I originaskly had a bacterial Infection, or something, and then all of the antbiotics,( five courses and four diffetent kinds) triggered a yeast imbalance. Any thoughts on how to get rid of this when I cant tollerate ACV by mouth, and any other feedback would be appteciated.ReplyDelete
When I first realized I had candida, everyone told me to do ACV. Like you, I couldn't tolerate it. I have given myself enemas with it and it really kills stuff off..... I now can take it by mouth but it took years.
Have you given up cane sugar? That is one of the first things needed with candida.
I just stumbled upon your blog while googling images of candida. I am now totally certain I have candida. I recently had leaking silicone breast implants removed (about 6 weeks ago). After doing extensive research, I have discovered that not only is the silicone toxic, but it creates a toxic environment for candida to grow and take over. I believe that the candida (and silicone etc) are entirely responsible for my decline in health. I have been in increasing pain - muscle aches, stiffness, no energy, weakness, mental fog, severe skin lesions - for a few years now, and I'm freaked out that it's because I have a whole candida eco system growing inside me! I notice that my house reflects the same. Do you have any environmental issues you battle with? From what I understand, candida is mold gone wild...? Thanks so much for sharing your story. I am so relieved to find others who can show me the way back to a life worth living. Most of my friends and family think I'm nuts. Oh, and i wanted to tell you that I have those "mole-looking" things on my body too. Tea tree oil and baking soda have been helping and it has only been like 2 days.ReplyDelete
Did you take antibiotics when you had your implants removed? That is the worst for candida. If you have candida... You probably have parasites also. They seem to go hand in hand. I could not get rid of the candida until I got rid of the parasites. Everyone has some candida, it is when it grows out of control that we have problems
I don't seem to have a problem with mold. I am sure it is in my house but I don't have an allergy to it... I do have a problem with city water. I go to a local spring and get my water, then I boil it to make sure I kill any bacteria that might be in it.
Those mole looking things I think are my skin taking over for my damaged liver. Mine are much better but I am not sure they will ever go away completely. I do a lot of liver flushes to clean out the toxins in my body. I use tea tree oil, sometimes.
I have been trying to only use things that don't kill the good bacteria and just the bad... especially now that I am well.
is this normal? what home remedies can probably cure it??...i wasn't sure it is candida but it looks like it..ReplyDelete
Everyone has a little candida in their body,... It is when it grows out of control that it becomes a problem.
There are many herbs to take that help.... I also had to do the candida diet.
Grapefruit seed extract is a powerful antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral. You have to be careful with it because you can actually cause yeast to die off too quickly...
I came here because mine started to have white spots...like a layer of white. This is after a few weeks of different types of stools especially the ones shown here.
Been supporting my diet especially the last week with carrot and veggie juice and veggie soup daily. I'm light on brown rice and 1/2 oats, 1/2 flax in the morning (I tend to suffer from chronic constipation).
I'm almost sure the yeast is back but I'm able to maintain the symptoms by minimizing carbs & sugar and keeping my body alkaline...Yes, I've been through this battle once before and I think my treatment didn't stick the first time because I didn't stay on track with my diet long enough and started incorporating "normal" food too early and too much.
Anyway, waiting on stool results for yeast and parasites that my naturopath ordered. They're the only Drs. who have had a clue in the last 20 years that have built up to this. Drs.=FDA=discusting msg, hormones, chemicals, gmo, sodium, saturated protein fat, high sugar diets=Prescription kick backs for lifelong chronic disorders, is why we're suffering "without cause" and without cures.
My chronic digestive issues and out of control, debilitating, eczema are what led me to candida. Good luck on the fight everyone! Don't give up! And remember: diet is everything! My heart goes out to you. God bless.
You are so right,... Drs have no clue as to what is going on. I am doing great now, but I do stay on a fairly strict diet. That is the only thing that is going to keep this from coming back like I had it before.
I wish you luck with this Pat. No one knows what we go through.
I just read that if you have digestive issues, (and the author listed Candida as one of the options causing those issues) that you should not juice! It's too much raw veggies for your system and will cause problem. About 3 yrs ago my husband and I got into Juicing. I got to where I would end up in so much pain, felt like I was in child birth for about 2 hours! Not long after that I found out I was dealing w candida!Delete
Some people can do vegetable juices with no problems, especially the green leafy vegetables. ... but when they add the fruit to make it taste better, that is where some of the problems come in.Delete
God help us all..... i think this really might be the death of me... i have candida in my stool and all the symptoms.... something else is i have something in my left arm an now in my right a little that feels like a giant worm that squeezes and tightens around my wrists.. i can feel it crawl its in my hands also.. you can see my skin jump where i feel the head of one of them and my hand is deteriorating... if you turn down the light you can see the trails where they are or were.. my hand on top feels like there is a layer of something between the skin and meat that makes it numb to the touch... can candida be under my skin and can it squeeze? I have squdezed where i feel it but cant fel anything.. my hand is now to the point that i cant tell whats in my pockets.. i drop things cause i dont realize im holding something.. the doctors would rather send me to a shrink than believe me.. its a very helpless feeling... any help would be greatly appreciated... i have a beautiful family who depend on me i have to beat this... i have to.. god bless us all...ReplyDelete
I can not diagnose you. But I can tell you that when I had candida.... it was all over my body... everywhere!!!
Parasites and candida go hand in hand. I had worm coming out my skin after doing many, many parasite cleanses.
I could not get rid of the candida until I took care of the parasites. This was not an easy thing to do. Drs turned their back on me when I told them I had worms. So I had to heal myself. God helps those that help themselves!!
I feel, I am now parasite free, it took over 3 years to completely get rid of them and longer to get rid of the candida completely.
Here is the thing... I can get parasites again, so I still cleanse regularly.
Ive taken everything from ivermectin to albenza garlic to herbs and cant seem to get rid of this itd going on a year now.... can you point me in tje rigjt direction please... what workef for you? I dont know if im not takingt things enough or not long enough.. i dont take anything long enough for them to get immune to it... any help would be appreciatedDelete
Anonymous, I had to completely change my diet. To this day I eat mostly vegetables, a little protein and very, very little carbs. It took years to completely recover from this.Delete
Can you recommend a site I can go to to find a diet? What else did you supplement your diet with as far as antiparasitics? I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to give me the info you have.. i have been passing some things that are pinkish orange like a boiled shrimp color and it is roundish and flat very thin and has the consistancy of something similar to a fish scale.. i thought it was worm skin and it might be but one had a tail looking thing coming off of it.. any ideas? Fluke maybe? Oil of Oregano drew this out of me and its not just a few and its nothing i ate... any ideas?Delete
Here is the Candida Diet that I used.... but I think I even cut the carbs more
i had similar sensations in my arms and from my personal experience from what i realised it is candida mucos that wraps around joints.its kinda like candida bonds you from inside and it becomes harder and harder for the body to move. i had swallen joints and weird "knots" thyat were visible to me and i literally was seeing movemets serpant like under skin..my solution was spine stretching.so probiotics, diet, supplements break candida and its mucos and it becomes possible to stretch and shift spine and all body to its proper alignmentDelete
No fast foods whatsoever. Get off wheat and sugar. Take Essiac (4 herb version). Take diatomaceous earth (or calcium bentonite clay)Delete
reseach Dr. Jennifer Daniels reseach on Turpintine. I also include Grapfruit extract drops and black hull walnut and wormwood... drink it daily and follow the receipts of Dr. Daniels...ir is the only thing that has worked for me...Best wishesDelete
hello.i`ve just stumbled upon ur blog while looking for more material on candida and deteriorating spinal cord.i was an unsuspecting candida sufferer my whole life.horrible neurodermatitis from brth,exzemas,oral thrush, weird sudden skin abnormalities later in life,then spinal issues here and there,nose bleeds, gastro nightmares..in my early 20s(im 39 now) i went to see a homeopathic doc.changed diet, was taking homeopathic remedies-it all worked well..skin cleared(it was my major concern).Still clueless about the real reason for things I always thought were "normal".One very well reknowned gastroenterologist in NYC actually told me(for 300$ first and only visit) that my then occasional constipation and constant(!!!!) lifelong gas(even afer all my homeopathy) are "peculiarities of my body".
Anyway my life was gradually coming to a stand still and collapsed 2years ago.My skin all of a sudden errupted.my body basically stopped function physically.was either paralysed sleeping or trying to get out of weird strange feeling i calll "feeling woozy"-combination of brain fog and subsequent anxiety.lack of energy etc..the way my skin broke out-i`d never had before.black spots,red dots etc and blueish tint on large portions of my skin, then strange swelllings, blueish lint out my pores and hair, my teeth got black plaque almost overnite.dermatologist i went to after trying all possible home remedies from chlorine to baths to tee trea oil, to finally peroxide etc, so that lady also looked at me weird and prescribed smth for impetigo and staph first time.second time she simply went:oh you are that lady with bleach..ahhh..ok..here`s another "hemmoroid cream"(im joking.but you imagine that she simply wrote me off to mental patient since first biopsy and second respectively showed nothing and first time she had an experience seeing me with slightly bleach burnt skin.)
long story short after 2 years of battling on my own,i think im out of the crisis area.i literally had to put my life on hold trying to desypher "WTF was happening to me."oh yeah last year during summer my hair reallly started disappearing, summer humidity seemed to completely finish the job of ruining my spirit etc
drastic positive changes rushed after i started to spinal stretching and realised I have fused or almost fused vertebrae. and that my late strangely occuring pains and weirdness with muscular-skeletal structure is not just childhood athletic baggage but The Baggage.After months of literally every day every hour on the hour stretching, holding poses, learning my body I evened my sholders,turned torso and neck back to alignment, almost defused low and mid back.all that while taking massive amounts of probiotics, threelack, enzymes and herbs recommended for candida(like pau d`arco, garlic etc etc).but this spinal breakthru was i think second major after digestion..I realised that candida mucos bonds spine w its glue.and since spine is a key to every organ and every nerve in our systems-relising and fixing any possible spinal trouble is vital in candida conquest. and my hair is back to normal even better.I'm still in process of spine alignment and stretching and up untill recently wasnt sure if i'm ready to say :i did it! i think i 've done it! now my job is lifelong maintenance and awareness of my condition that i know now runs in my fam(remembering things from my childhood)
thank you for reading
Very interesting Roxxy. I do a lot of exercises to help my back also and they seem to work.Delete
Indeed interesting and thank you for sharing! I just got this thing and I hate it!Delete
Roxy Roxy, thank you for your story, it's sounds so much like mine. My symptoms started last year with my hair. No matter how often I washed it actually smelled like vomit. I went to my doctor and was given a prescription, I don't remember what it was for, but I do remember that it was $800.00 and my insurance didn't cover it. So, I did all my research, and although my scalp looked clear, I realized that I had yeast infection. I also attributed it to sleeping with my wet hair, up in a ponytail, right after taking a shower. It took a couple of months but I did get rid of it by using Giovanni's Tea Tree Triple Treat Invigorating Shampoo and I also added more tea tree oil,about an ounce more, to it. Then after having a mastectomy in March I was given Cephalexin to head off any infection, because my skin was somewhat red in one area of the incision. That's when my stools developed large gobs of yellowish mucus all over it. a couple of days later I told my oncologist about it, she wanted to test a stool sample for C-diff, but by the next day it was gone, so I let it go. Well, two weeks ago I had my first chemo treatment, and that's when all hell broke loose! Not only was I enduring the excruciating pain of chemo, which I strongly believe my fibromyalgia exacerbated that, but I had constant cramping and my stools came out like yellow pebbles with what looked like white popcorn pieces all over them. The anal itching was horrific! I'm now on my second round of Diflucan, and after using monistat cream for itching (which did absolutely nothing!), I switched to using, as a topical ointment, organic coconut oil mixed with pharmaceutical grade tea tree oil. Sweet relief! I also washed the area with only the Giovanni's shampoo. It has gotten better, but it's certainly not gone, and I have another chemo coming up in a week. I also noticed, after the 7 days of chemo pain disappeared, I developed a pulsating lower back pain that started out mild but with each pulsation grew worse to the point of gripping pain and tears, then it would pulsate back down to somewhat mild pain. This would keep happening about every five minutes or so. I also noticed that when my candida infection worsened the pain would worsen, as well as go higher up my spine. This had me really worried, it just didn't seem right, and it finally reached my neck, causing a headache as well. Is it possible the candida could be in my spinal fluid? Since my symptoms have gotten better the pain has subsided, however once in awhile I will feel it starting again, but not reaching full blown pain. So, your suggestion of spine stretching makes a great deal of sense to me. I will definitely try it. I would also appreciate any helpful feedback on this matter. Thank you!Delete
i'm gonna study your blog zealously now. i find it extreamly informative!ReplyDelete
I was just wondering, I ate a date not realizing how much sugar it had (I should have known from the sweetness) honestly I didn't think one would hurt but since then I've had dark green stools, did this ever happen to you?ReplyDelete
Dates have a ton of sugar, plus... most of them have been sprayed for bugs ect... not good for those of us with candida. I can eat them now, but it took a long time before I could. I never noticed the green stools from them though. I just get a burning tongue if I eat too much sugar.
You mentioned in one of your replies that you are well. Is this something you expect to stay the same? So far this year I have; done 2 liver cleanses, 2 parasite cleanses, changed my diet, changed my diet again to paleo, changed it again by removing foods that were bad for my blood type, do weekly dry brush massage, have used reflexology, two raindrop therapy sessions, I have improved greatly but I still have pain in my hands, feet, one shoulder, one hip, lower back and gerd. I can't wait until I can say I am well. Any advise?ReplyDelete
I am doing very, very well. I do a parasite cleanse two times a year and also do other things that get rid of parasites. I still get worms out sometimes, so they keep coming back. My Hubs doesn't cleanse so I probably get them from him or shopping and touching things.
It took a long time for me to get rid of the pain. The gerd... I found if I stay away from a lot of carbs, I don't have problems. It is just hard because the carbs are what helps fill you up.
Hello Terry.
I'm not sure if it's appropriate to be posting here considering how old this post is but I would like to anyways in the hope that at least someone will be able to hear my voice.
I am a 15 year old girl suffering from parasites and candida.
It's upsetting to know that I brought this upon myself from my poor lifestyle as I had been consuming very large amounts of sugar and just unhealthy food choices in general. I also had poor hygiene.
And while this is a bad time for me and I am crying as I type this, I think the discovery of these health problems will be a huge turning point for me, in the sense that I'll now, more than ever, watch over my health.
That being said, I know it'll be a long journey to cure this and it will not be easy at all, but the future just looks so bright.
My lifestyle over the next few weeks or months will not just be a temporary fix, I will be changing my whole life for the better.
I think more people need to be informed about parasites and candida since I had been clueless that I could even get something like this until I saw the monsters in the toilet.
Love your blog, you give me lots of hope.
Thank you.
Well good for you for wanting to change. Eating healthy is the first step in being healthy.
Have you seen the parasites? Since you are so young, you will probably do very well at curing the candida and parasites and never have problems again.
Yes, it is a long slow process, but once you start feeling better, you will never want to go back.
Keep in touch and let me know how things are going with you.
I have some pictures where do i send them?ReplyDelete
terrylee5151 at aol dot com Could you send them as a picture and not an attachment. I am having trouble opening attachments. Thanks!Delete
I have pics if you want.ReplyDelete
I am on vacation and the computer I am using doesn't download anything.
Hey Guys! I am somewhat new to this blog. i have been on the anti candida diet for about 7 weeks now. I had mold in the basement of my home for 7 years and starting recognizing the yeast symptoms. My dr. dismissed them but I went ahead with all the information I learned online. I feel so much better already. seeing the pictures about a week ago on this site was amazing. I have similar pictures and sent one to Terri and she said what I thought, that even though not a dr. the picture looks like candida. it really reaffirmed my commitment and made me feel so much more sure of what I am doing.
What I am curious about it yeast coming out of the nose? I have had sinus issues for many many years and had sinus surgery a year ago. it's been great but with the yeast, came more sinus problems and a huge amount of mucous coming out of my sinus'. Even today, I am expelling large yellow blobs from my nose. they are like rubber or silly putty, you can literally grab them and stretch them out and they bounce back. I am really curious if this is candida? I have no real way to confirm it, but i thought I'd ask this awesome group of people if you have ever had this happen? I am certain i do not have a sinus infection currently. I have no symptoms and I am still doing the candida diet with all the supplements etc. Please let me know if you have had this happen to you? I can provide pictures if needed but I figured most have had these yellow blobs at some point or another and know what they look like. Thanks very very much! christina
I really don't want to be horrible. I don't want to seem like I'm dismissing your problems, which are clearly very real, as evidenced by your experiences and the photos here. Just -- well, read me out.
But the truth of the matter is that if you had a systemic yeast infection you would be in the ICU or, at the very least if you were extremely lucky, severely ill in hospital, on antifungals, fluids, and many other things. Admittedly, everyone has a certain degree of Candida in their bodies, which can become a problem in those who are immunocompromised (e.g. with HIV or, more commonly, AIDS), or locally in the mouths of people on inhaled steroids (usually for asthma); this presents as thrush which you will no doubt have heard of and can be vaginal or oral, or both simultaneously. The symptoms are vaginal itching, and a furry and usually sore tongue.
To get to the systemic stage, you would first have to be severely immunocompromised. You would have to have severe neutropenia, which would not have gone unnoticed by anyone, and causes numerous, frequent and severe infections. Then, once the fungus took hold, you would quickly get abscesses, endocarditis (a heart infection), and thrombophlebitis (where you get blood clots and the veins around the clots become inflamed). Quite simply, you would be critically ill and could easily die. You would be completely unable to do anything, really, let alone go about your daily lives. You would probably be intubated or mechanically ventilated, on multiple IV drips, on strong pain medication, steroids, antifungals etc., would probably have chest drains or catheters, and probably would need at least one emergency operation.
I swear to my God though, I am not trying to tell you you are talking bull. I'm just saying that the cause isn't Candida. It's not a systemic yeast infection. And I'm glad, because you would be very very ill if it were, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, let alone someone on the internet I have never met before.
And looking at these pictures, both you and the reader(s) who sent in the other pictures really need a diagnosis. Blood tests, endoscopies, scans etc. should be done. One of the pictures looks like it has blood in it, and there is an alarming amount of mucous in the toilet pictures; serious illnesses such as cancer can cause these symptoms. As for the one of the stool with stuff in it, as someone who isn't a medical professional, I can't say what that is. I don't know. But if you can get a clearer picture of that next time it happens and take that along with the mucous pictures to your doctor, that ought to prompt him to do an endoscopy at least. If not, find a different doctor, or suggest it to him. As a side note, one can have an endoscopy without the need for drugs if that bothers you; simple gas and air does the trick apparently.
I honestly am sorry. But I don't think I could forgive myself if you were missing a serious illness, like a tumour (e.g. neuroendocrine tumours can cause a whole host of unusual symptoms; a blood test for this is called Chromogranin A, and a urine test called 24-hour 5-HIAA, both might give an idea about whether you have one), or even just a treatable condition such as IBS or a food allergy (it might be a mild one and you don't even realise because you don't react like you think you would but it could still be there and affecting you. On the food allergy front, though, get tested by a Medical Doctor; these tests are safer and more sensitive and accurate than ones commonly promoted by Chiropractics and Naturopaths) because if it is treatable then that's your symptoms sorted, and if it is serious then you could have saved your own life.
Please consider it. Tell me how you get on as well; I would like to know.
L Burgess,
Really.... you think we haven't been to a Doctor???? You think we like having these problems???
I doctored for 2 years before I took my health into my own hands. The Doctors were killing me and believe me I WAS VERY SICK... so sick I thought I was going to die. The Doctors and their prescription medications were only making me worse. In fact.... they are the reason I started having problems in the first place.
I realize you feel you are only trying to help..... but I know my body better than anyone.
I am now probably in better health than most people walking down the street.
I do go to Doctors still. I have shown them pictures of worms. Most people as well as Doctors think that you only have worms if you live in a 3rd world country.
You may have worms yourself.
"Really.... you think we haven't been to a Doctor???? You think we like having these problems???"
Actually sorry, but no, I don't think either of those things and I certainly never said them.
"I doctored for 2 years before I took my health into my own hands."
That's good. Could you tell me what tests they did? (Not a challenge, I just want to know.)
"The Doctors were killing me"
But the Systemic Yeast Infection wasn't?!
"I WAS VERY SICK... so sick I thought I would die"
Why weren't you in hospital? What were your symptoms?
"I realise you feel you are only trying to help"
It's not so much that, rather that I am telling you that Systemic Candida is not a thing that exists except in the severely immunocompromised in ICUs who rarely get out alive and even then only after intensive multi-drug therapy, oxygen, and operations.
"I am now probably in better health than most people walking down the street"
So you aren't currently ill at all as far as you're aware..but you still believe you have a Systemic Fungal Infection? Maybe I'm reading you wrong right now; please correct me if so.
"Most[...]Doctors think that you only have worms if you live in a 3rd world country."
Well no, however if you have normal sanitation, clean water, relatively normal immune function, and you aren't a 5yo kid sitting in the mud all the time yet you still had worms, you would be a scientific marvel and you would be in all the news and scientific and medical journals.
"You may have worms yourself."
I most certainly do not.
L. Burgess,
You worry about your own health and let everyone else live their life. We don't need anyone telling us how we should be taking care of ourselves.
You could be in for a rude awakening one day. Every human has parasites of some sort.....
I can't thank you enough for posting pics of the stool. This is extremely helpful for me, as a parent. Thank you so much.ReplyDelete
Thank you for being so open about your story. Candida can be a difficult subject to discuss. I've been suffering from candida for about five years now. I caught a nasty Staph infection which turned into MRSA and was on antibiotics for months. Once the Staph infection cleared up I got attacked by a bad case of Eczema, so I was put on steroids for a long time, I was given birth control pills for acne even though my hormone tests came all within normal range. I was fatigued, had blurred vision, brainfog, a feeling of being drunk and unable to focus. Although I eat fairly healthy, and excercise five days a week I was constantly bloated and couldn't use the restroom without a laxative. I thought it was a food intolerance, so I cut out dairy and gluten, yet I didn't feel any better. I stumbled upon an article about Candida and light bulbs went off. I had every symptom on that check list except for 3. I didn't want to take any medicine because medicine is probably the reason for my Candida. I took oil of oregano, Neem and ate coconut oil by the spoons. I cut out all sugars, including fruit, I drank coffee really bitter because stevia was too nasty. I limited my carbs to 50 gr a day, for energy and sanity. Ate lots of greens, drank detox tea, and made sure I stayed regular during those days. The first week I felt terrible. It was all my symptoms amplified by 10. I never get headaches but that week my head felt like it was going to explode. Then I started passing yellowish and cream colored mucus. I knew I had candida. I'm still on the fourth week. Still ridding little by little with every bowel movement. For memorial day weekend I plan on doing a coconut cleanse and hope to expell the rest.
Please do not take antibiotics unless you really, really have to. Or steroids. I've learned my lesson. I feel like it will take me a long time to finally have a healthy stomach and quality of life again.
So sorry to hear how ill you are. Candida is so hard to get rid of. I wish you well.
I hear you on the antibiotics... I know one day, something will come up that I have to use them and it scares me to death.
nearly lost my baby to it had a very long stay in hospitalReplyDelete
Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is a clay I've been taking for 2 weeks that resembles shards of glass on a microscopic level that rips parasites & fungi apart. I DO NOT sell it. A friend told me about it & ordered it for me with her Amazon Prime really cheap. I had rings around insect bites & suspected I had worms. But taking the DE daily also made the Canidia come out in my stool along with the worms! I just thought I was doomed to regular yeast infections & that was "just my body". Had no idea I had systematic Canidia until I saw it in the toilet!!! I will take DE for the rest of my life! For years, I had intestinal trouble (lots of gas, bloating, bouts of constipation and loose stools). That is finally calming down with the DE. I take storng Probiotics to rebalance my system so hopefully the bad yeast doesn't ever get out of control again. Hopes this helps others!!!!ReplyDelete
Happy to hear it works for you. I took it for almost a year and I don't think it did a thing for me.Delete

The National Rifle Association, the nation's largest gun-rights group, has gone eerily silent after the deadly shooting of 26 people, including 20 children, at a Connecticut elementary school.
Its Facebook page has disappeared. It has not sent a message on Twitter since the extent of the carnage became clear. And no leaders of the 4.3 million-member organization appeared on the talk shows this past Sunday, two days after the shooting.
During past crises, the politically powerful group has defended gun owners' constitutional right to bear arms, which is popular among millions of Americans.
But with 20 of the victims ages 6 or 7, it may be tougher to advocate for gun owners' rights.
One Republican strategist says the NRA's approach is probably wise given the emotions involved.

And Then There Were Two: Dear Jamie Oliver
Dear Jamie Oliver
I may be being presumptuous here but I am assuming you have never breastfed. Or attempted to breastfeed.
I admire what you have done for school dinners and raising awareness of sugar in our diet.
But unless you have breastfed, I think it's probably best to stick to the facts on this one.
You see it's not just as "easy" and "convenient" as you say it is. And, no matter the experiences of your lovely wife or any other women in your life who may have found it so, you, personally just don't know.
You don't know what it's like to carry a baby for nine months. To endure, at best discomfort, at worst, immense pain just to carry that baby and keep it safe.
You have no idea what it's like to have to stop wearing the things you like wearing, stop doing activities you liked doing, stop eating the foods you like eating and stop drinking the drinks you like drinking (and before you start banging on about alcohol, I'm mostly talking about my much-loved cuppa). You don't know what it's like to make these sacrifices to keep your baby healthy.
You can't begin to comprehend the pain of bringing that baby into the world. The unbearable-but-necessary, productively painful but nonetheless excruciating pain. Pain which is worth it a million times over. But very real, physical pain.
You can't know how it feels to go through all that and end up having major surgery. To be told you shouldn't lift anything heavier than a kettle despite having a baby who weighs more than a kettle and who you are desperate to cuddle and lift into your arms.
You will never know how it feels to, after nine months of discomfort, of worry, of excitement, of sickness, go through such an intense physical and emotional roller coaster simply in order to meet your baby. You may know the worry. You may know the excitement. You may go on a similar roller coaster. But the highs and lows just cannot be as extreme for the simple fact that the baby has not grown inside, and is not coming out of, your body.
You don't understand what it's like to go through this and bleed for a month. To have stitches. For it to hurt every time you use the toilet. For it to hurt every time you sit down. Or stand up. Or walk more than 300 yards. Or climb the stairs.
You don't know what it's like to go through all of that and then look after a baby. I know you're tired too from the sleepless nights. I know you're exhausted from making sure the house is clean and the older kids are looked after. I know you want to spend time with the baby too.
But you have not given birth. Your body has not contracted almost to breaking point. You have not had surgery. You have not been sewn back together only to immediately have to care for your child. You are not bleeding. Or lactating.
You are not the person asked "how are you feeding him?" by every visitor, whether family, friends, midwife or health visitor. Or worse: are you breastfeeding? You don't know how it feels.
So let me tell you: it feels like a test. Like there is a right answer.
And as someone who has just gotten off the most exhilarating, terrifying and exhausting roller coaster ever, you are not in the mood for a test. To be told you are wrong. You want a cuddle. Praise for being washed and dressed. A much-longed-for cup of tea.
Some people take it all in their stride. Some don't. We are all different. Babies are all different. We have different strengths and we all learn things differently. Breastfeeding is natural. But we still have to learn how to do it. Babies have to learn how to do it. And sometimes it is not "easy". Sometimes it is hard.
And sometimes we don't want strangers coming round to support us at a time where we feel pained, exhausted and vulnerable. We don't want someone telling us we should be doing it different and physically manipulating our bodies when our bodies have already done so much.
We just want to rest whilst we can. We want to look after our baby. We want to cuddle him and watch him sleep. And love him. We just want to love him. But we also need to love ourselves and look after ourselves.
And sometimes that means making a decision which is best for everyone - physically, emotionally, physiologically and mentally. Not just medically.
Dear Jamie. I know you mean well and you make a cracking pasta dish. And breast
best nutritionally for our babies. We
that. And to support breastfeeding women and to want to help those who struggle is commendable. Saying it is "easy" and "convenient" is not.
You can never speak from a place of experience when it comes to breastfeeding.
So maybe stick to the pasta, and the facts, in future.
Being Mummy
