Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I've heard of it, but don't know if it's any more effective than any other probiotic. One product that's worked well for me in the past is Candex. It has enzymes that digest the candida cell walls, thus killing them. I got pretty quick results with that plus a low carb diet. But like Katja said, it's generally a more complex issue than just taking a product or two. Also worth noting if the person as amalgams, it may not be a good idea to attack candida till the amalgams are removed because it seems the body may encourage candida growth to counteract the damage of mercury. I think mercury binds to candida, or something of that nature, thus preventing it from being distributed elsewhere in the body to do damage. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 <<I think mercury binds to candida, or something of that nature, thus preventing it from being distributed elsewhere in the body to do damage.>> Suze, Can you expand on the candida/mercury connection? do you have any references?... I've had candida problems for decades with some severe flare-ups [much diminished since going paleo and NOT taking iron supplements for severe iron deficiency]... the docs, incl. a senior haematologist never heard of iron/candida connection and can't/won't help me... your msg got me wondering about the possible connection between ingesting/absorbing minerals and candidiasis.

I've got so many books on mercury now and have been reading various websites and lists on the subject, that I just can't pinpoint the exact source. I want to say Hall Cutler's " Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment " is a likely source for this info, but I just don't remember. And it's possible I've got the exact relationships wrong. There is most defintely a relationship between mercury and candida though. If you do a web search using those keywords you'll get a ton of info. And FWIW, I've read from, I think it was Hal Huggins, or some other dentist, that they typically see their patients candida problems disappear after amalgam removal. Also, mercury interferes with the body's mineral transport system, so if you have amalgams, that could be a possible explanation for your iron abnormalities. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 > ...i'm doing a bunch of candida work right now... >... buckets of kefir and lacto-fermenteds... Most candida literature seems to claim you should avoid anything fermented on a candida-diet. Does your experiece suggest otherwise?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 no, i hadn't seen that though. i can't imagine lacto-fermented being bad for anything though, or kefir. perhaps the avoid-fermented advice is more about SAD fermented stuff, like bud light, etc? -katja At 10:41 AM 5/31/2004, you wrote: >Most candida literature seems to claim you should avoid anything >fermented on a candida-diet.

Does your experiece suggest otherwise? I really don't know why the candida folks say that ... in general, yeast breeds *compete* with each other, and bacteria wipes out yeast when it can (and vice versa). And foods that have *already* been eaten by yeast or bacteria don't make great food for yeast populations. One example: wine. The alcohol in wine gets high enough that it kills off the yeast that made the wine. Some folks have yeast allergy, in which case any yeast might give them the sniffles or something, maybe that's where that came from. -- Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
