Re: Candida uses Iron as food source...

Sounds interesting, I am afraid I know nothing about it though

Let us know how you do

I have yeast issues due to mercury in my system. The two run together.

I have been on a yeast free diet for two years and been taking OTC probiotics

but learnt they do not work well. They will not re-colonize the GI tract.

http://www.yeastinfectionadvisor.com/probioticsforyeast.html

I ordered human origin probiotics called Custom Probiotics in the powder. In

order to battle the yeast you need a LOT of the good guys or the bad guys laugh

at them and kill them off. I just got my order and started on it yesterday.

I need now to think of how to handle the iron issue. I know I still have the

yeast because if I eat somethiing they like I feel it. I know the are eating

the iron since I am not giving them anything else.

When I reading about colostrum, I can't use anything that is bovine source

(cow), I came across lactoferrin, then when I was reading about yeast I read how

it eats iron.

I know yeast is a big stress on the immune system, even so virus and bad

bacteria. It is all in the GI tract....70% of your immune system. I am

starting to really work on the GI tract and should help my adrenals and thyroid.

I am having a hard time finding lactoferrin that is goat source for I am afraid

to use the cow source. Guess will have to order the Mt. Capra Colostrum powder

which contains lactoferrin. Then I can try the iron lozenges I found on the

Internet to bypass the GI tract and not feed the yeast, fungus, bad bacteria

with it. Though the iron in food will feed it, but lactoferrin should bind that

iron and give it to my cells and starve them further.

Will keep you posted.

I have reading a lot about the dangers of free iron in the GI tract and how it

feeds bacteria and yeast and hurts your immune system. I know I need to raise

my ferritin, but if I flood my tract with iron and feeding my enemies I need a

mechanism to bind that iron from them to transport it to my cells.

Lactoferrin is a potent nutrient for natural balance and helpful immune support.

Hundreds of studies demonstrate the power of lactoferrin to help defend you

against Candida, bacteria, and viruses. It is a key player in the natural

defenses that have enabled the survival of the human race.

Early immune system research on lactoferrin focused on its ability to bind iron

(it puts iron in a safe cage and transports iron). It has long been known that

free iron impedes immune cell function and enables many pathogenic bacteria and

Candida to grow. It is rather disturbing that garbage-quality iron supplements,

which rapidly produce free iron in the digestive tract, are routinely used in

infant formulas, food fortification, many low-quality dietary supplements, and

as prescription items for those with anemia. Such iron compromises immunity and

promotes digestive imbalance and the overgrowth of harmful bacterial and

Candida.

Researchers soon found that lactoferrin, in addition to its iron-sequestering

talent, possessed multiple strategies for naturally bolstering immunity and

knocking out problems. It prevents bacteria and Candida from forming hostile

gangs (biofilms) and from sticking to human cells. It can help human cells

modulate their responses to be more resistant to infection, as well as helping

immune cells perform more efficiently. It can directly enter bacteria and

Candida, disrupting their cell membrane and crippling their energy production

systems, either killing them directly or enabling other parts of your immune

system to fight a weakened opponent. It can also bind to viral particles and

interfere with viral replication as well as occupy receptors on human cells and

block a virus from entering.

I began to look for it on the Internet.

your food and transports it to your cells. Frequent iron deficiencies are

caused, not by lack of iron, but by poor iron absorption because of insufficient

lactoferrin.

albicans from using iron as a food source. Many times, iron can be the primary

food source for candida. But when you take that food source away from candida,

life gets hard for yeast and their strength wanes. "

cancers, and fungi for growth and reproduction. Candida also uses the iron

molecule as a means of travel throughout the body. This binding effect starves

the bad bacteria or tumor so it eventually dies without harming good bacteria

that don't use iron for survival.

such as herpes. It has the ability to kill and resolve h. pylori infections that

cause stomach ulcers. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella

pneumoniae all of which are capable of causing serious illness, are all

inhibited by lactoferrin in the body. "
