Re: Reoccurring Yeast/ enzymes, Biotin

[Guest guest]

" It is extremely important to know that the conversion

of the yeast form to the fungal form of Candida is

partially dependent upon biotin deficiency. Dr.

Yamaguchi and colleagues have recently found that when

biotin is added to the medium in high levels, it can

prevent the conversion of the yeast form of Candida to

its fungal form. They have also found that the fatty

acid oleic acid seems to prevent this same

conversion. "

I have been reading about enzymes and what they

potentially has to do with some of my ailments ). I

became curious about digesting sugars since I verge on

having diabetes and because I have had chronic

reoccurring candida for thirty years or so and believe

that it has something to do with digesting sugar.

I found out that diabetes is really a result of fat

malabsorption--the inability of the body to digest

fats and this causes the insulin and glucose

dysfunction. I found out that a deficiency of Biotin

(one of the B vitamins) causes the body to be unable

to digest fat properly because the body is unable to

produce Lipase which is the fat digesting enzyme. It

might be worth the while of those with Candida

problems to take large doses of Biotin. (always take

it with a B complex--don't take any b vitamin by

itself) AND Lipase, the fat digesting enzyme. It might

be a good idea for those with diabetes to take these

things (biotin and Lipase to make one able to digest

fats). IN any case you might research this and be

aware of what some are saying.

I found out that there is an area of research that is

finding that taking very large doses of biotin VERY

MUCH affects the behavior of the yeasts.

So, if one has damaged intestines where the enzyme

producing organs are disabled--like from food

sensitivities (gluten, milk)--and can't digest fat one

is likely to have terrible candida problems. Also few

of us eat much raw food and that is where we largely

get enzymes. Some from food and some from within the

body.

The following is an article about this and some other

things. I think having recurring yeast is like waging

war as it is a many faceted condition. I doubt there

is a simple answer and the Navy, Army, Air Force,

Marine Corp, and Merchant Marine have to mobilize to

solve this thing. Diet, prescription antifungals,

correct nutrition according to ability to eat major

allergens (gluten and milk most specifically, and now

attention to potentially lacking enzymes that prevent

the body from functioning properly that may be

involved.

Allergy tests won't work for food sensitivities at

least that is what doctors have told me for decades.

The allergists won't tell you that however. It is a

different kind of reaction that needs to be measured.

Something has got to work. LOL

Hi Arline, Since I have yeast problems, I found the article about

Biotin very interesting. Thanks for the link. Do you think it's safe to

take such large doses of the Biotin? Kathy--- >

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathy,

Everything I have read says it is. I am taking very

large doses and it doesn't do anything to me. Be sure

to also take a B complex once a day with it so the B

vitamins don't get unbalanced. Good luck!!

Hi Arline, How long have you been taking the Biotin, and have you

noticed any benefits from it yet? I have a bottle of 1,000mcg sitting

on my counter and I'm considering trying it. Hey, nothing else is

working! Good to know that you should also take a B complex with it.

Thanks. Kathy >

Kathy, I just started this week and don't know

anything yet. If I ever beat this thing I will shout

it from the rooftops for you. LOL

Hi Arline, I'm going to do some online reading about the Biotin, but

I'm definitely considering trying it. Baukti from this list suggested

Caprylic Acid which is an anti-fungal and is something worth trying

also. I hope I hear your shouting from the rooftops soon! Kathy

[Guest guest]

I suggest that you do both. LOL

I have started taking a enzyme product called CandiZyme. It is

supposed to help balance yeast by digesting the outer shell of the

yeast. You take it on a empty stomach before going to bed. I'm going

to try it for a month and see if it helps....
