Re: Vitamin B3 as a novel approach to treat fungal infections

[Guest guest]

This is interesting and makes one wonder if there is a 'vicious circle' going on

here with Candida and beneficial bacteria. I've read that beneficial bacteria

in the gut are responsible for MAKING vitamin B so if Candida takes over, one

could have low vit B levels which I showed some years ago. I haven't had test

rerun since then so don't know if I have overcome this. Doctor just suggested I

take a multiple vit B tab, which he sold me of course. Anyway I wonder if you

get rid of Candida overgrowth in gut if your vit B levels would go up and that

would help to keep Candida in check (until you take an antibiotic again). If

so, Candida overgrowth keeping vit B levels down, would help them Candida to

grow and survive. I'm on an antibiotic now so in addition to the probiotics I'm

taking, think I'll add a multi Vit B complex. Thanks
