Welcome to this weeks video blog. For this week's first video, we have Tanya Page (Nutrition Manager) talking with Alex about the role of candida in ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia. In the mid 1990s there were a lot of nutritionists that believed M.E. and candida were one at the same thing, and many patients ended up on very extreme anti-candida diets, taking large amounts of supplements, with all kinds of horrible symptoms (Alex and several of our staff included!). Although for a sub-group of patients candida can be a key area to be treated, the picture is obviously not as simple as some practitioners originally believed. In this video, Alex and Tanya dispel some of the myths about candida and explain the clinic's perspectives on it.[youtube YzwdivlWPNc] For our second video of the week, we have a recent interview Alex did for www.conscious.tv about disability, which we thought you would find very inspiring and moving. It shows that whatever our situation, we can choose to focus on the positives and change how we feel about it. The great news is of course ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia are treatable illnesses, but even so, the messages within this interview are still of great value.
