Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Jeni Lynn, One natural anti-fungal is grapefruit seed extract and has been ok'd by Elaine (spoke to her personally myself on this one). I take something called Citricidal and I can only get it from my ND. Candizyme is also an approved anti-yeast and can be gotten from your local HFS. It is made by Renew Life. I think the the US it goes by another name I believe it is Candigone. Don't quote me on that. Charlene UC 8 years SCD 5 1/2 years Hey guys! We are rounding up a month of diflucan. I would like to continue with an anti-fungal protocol with natural stuff. Does anyone have suggestions? Which natural anti-fungals are SCD legal? Any ideas of how to rotate them? Summer, I know that you had something you did for anti-fungals a while back that you now only use when needed. How do you recommend I handle this coming off of diflucan? What did you do for your family? I have a phone consultation with Dr. Megson coming up about this. While she is supportive of SCD, she doesn't know much about SCD (other than it works for many families), so it would be helpful if I knew what was acceptable within SCD parameters. Then I can work with her from there. Thanks! Jeni Lynn (gastrointestinal problems) mom to Elle, 19 mo.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Yeasts can often mutate as quickly as every 4 days. I would start an antifungal rotation therapy, using Oreganol (mediterranian oregano, don't use any other orgegano oils, just this one), olive leaf, grapefruit seed extract, or any other antifungal...frankensence, myrhh, etc...in rotation. Be sure to up probiotics in between dosing times. Do this, and if things seem to be working and evening out, gradually reduce, very gradually reduce the antifungals one at a time, trick that yeast, trick the body, when the yeast if fighting for its rights, it puts up major resistance, so slow is the way to go. In all best circumstances, if possible, you want to wean down from them, then only use these substances when there is a yeast flare of some sort, or in the case of some other illness. You will have to experiment and see how this all works for a bit. First worry about moving from diflucan to other antifungals and get on an even keel with this first. I hope this helps, good luck to you! Summer furryhalfpint wrote: Hey guys! We are rounding up a month of diflucan. I would like to continue with an anti-fungal protocol with natural stuff.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Jeni Lynn, There are many anti-fungals out there, I left out garlic, candex, and so on. You really have to get a feel for this yourself, what will work. Just work up slow. I do not trust GSE in any store (I can't say good or bad), but some companies use solvents for grapefruit seed extraction. The only place I will get GSE from is www.mountainroseherbs.com $9 for 1 ounce. I don't know what anti-fungals you plan to use, but you can order many anti-fungal herbs, like olive leaf, and tincture up yourself or make a tea. The quality in storebought powdered herbs seems to be very low, as essential oils are often very volatile and easily oxidize. Some people use Candizyme and Candigone, also Candidase, but Candex seems to be supreme in this area, in my opinion. Soon, I would like to trial Virastop with Candidase together for myself, I don't know the outcome. The features you want is freshness in regards to herbs, and for enzymes, basically what works. Oreganol is in a class by itself, some oregano oils are made from american oregano, " Origanum vulgare " , which is a wonderful digestive aid, but not the powerful anti-fungal. The anti-fungal one is made from Greek oregano known as Origanum heracleoticum. I am growing my own, and my project is going to be to make my own oregano oil that is fresher and strong. Freshness is key. There is also Origanum majorana, also known as Marjoram, which some companies combine with Orignaum vulgare (wild american oregano), great supplement, but not the one.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 , Caprylic acid is a great fatty acid. It is rarely very effective on its own, not so much a stand alone fungal treatment, in and of itself. This medium chain fatty acid is found in coconut and palm oils, also in butterfat. There is some research that indicates it works on the fungal and viral membranes, perhaps stiffening them, making it harder to absorb nutrition through their cell walls. This would make it a useful adjunct to any anti-fungal therapy. The cons on using it for anti-fungal use solely, it is a fatty acid, and is metabolized very rapidly in the fatty acid pathways. Unlike other fatty acids, it hits the intestines and zooms immediately into the blood, doesn't need to be digested. On this level, it will not work directly in the large intestines and colon, giving them a miss. Still, caprylic acid is useful, just metabolized too quickly, in my opinion. For us, we use home-made goat butter and a little coconut oil here or there and call it good. For someone else who would like to supplement with this, I suggest pairing it with another anti-fungal, garlic and caprylic acid, tumeric and caprylic acid, and so on. I think the key for any anti-fungal treatment is less is better, and using it only as a jump start to create a timespace for healing to happen. Changing the environment the yeast thrives in is more important in the long run. Caprylic acid is a safe addition to the everyday diet. Summer davis wrote: Hey Summer, What about caprylic acid?...

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 What ever happened to just sarving these bad gut bugs out the SCD way? Isn't this working for some????? Maybe foods are being eaten that are not digesting and are feeding those darn yeasty beasty's. Elaine and Dr. Haas said that what the body can not digest does harm. Especialy if you are starting over due to not following the guide lines in the BTVC book or just starting out right. Maybe take out all those hard to digest foods. Go to the list of stages from Pecan Bread...and I suggest that like we do...when this happens...back up the TRUCK! We had a horrible time with dry beans (cooked the SCD way) and many raw fruits, and nuts. 2+ month strict SCD...we can just now do the raw fruits, but still peel the skins off. We are able to toreate a few things made from nut flours too. But never over do it. Elaine said only 3 muffins a day at the most! KiKI's thrush that I accidently started back up do to adding unkowingly " illegal " apple vinegar (unpasturized), has vanished with just three days back to the intro. She is so sick she can't tolerate all thos fancy fungal cures. SCD wins again for her, and many. She is not alone....has worked for over 50 years.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 By the way, I meant to say that caprylic acid like other fatty acids, not unlike...typo! Your welcome! Summer davis wrote: Thanks Summer, Agape, Gertrude Snicklegrove wrote: , Caprylic acid is a great fatty acid. It is rarely very effective on its own, not so much a stand alone fungal treatment, in and of itself. This medium chain fatty acid is found in coconut and palm oils, also in butterfat. There is some research that indicates it works on the fungal and viral membranes, perhaps stiffening them, making it harder to absorb nutrition through their cell walls. This would make it a useful adjunct to any anti-fungal therapy. The cons on using it for anti-fungal use solely, it is a fatty acid, and is metabolized very rapidly in the fatty acid pathways. Unlike other fatty acids, it hits the intestines and zooms immediately into the blood, doesn't need to be digested. On this level, it will not work directly in the large intestines and colon, giving them a miss. Still, caprylic acid is useful, just metabolized too quickly, in my opinion. For us, we use home-made goat butter and a little coconut oil here or there and call it good. For someone else who would like to supplement with this, I suggest pairing it with another anti-fungal, garlic and caprylic acid, tumeric and caprylic acid, and so on. I think the key for any anti-fungal treatment is less is better, and using it only as a jump start to create a timespace for healing to happen. Changing the environment the yeast thrives in is more important in the long run. Caprylic acid is a safe addition to the everyday diet. Summer davis wrote: Hey Summer, What about caprylic acid?...

The only place I will get GSE from is www.mountainroseherbs.com $9 for 1 ounce. I don't know what anti-fungals you plan to use, but you can order many anti-fungal herbs, like olive leaf, and tincture up yourself or make a tea. The quality in storebought powdered herbs seems to be very low, as essential oils are often very volatile and easily oxidize. Some people use Candizyme and Candigone, also Candidase, but Candex seems to be supreme in this area, in my opinion. Soon, I would like to trial Virastop with Candidase together for myself, I don't know the outcome. The features you want is freshness in regards to herbs, and for enzymes, basically what works. Oreganol is in a class by itself, some oregano oils are made from american oregano, " Origanum vulgare " , which is a wonderful digestive aid, but not the powerful anti-fungal. The anti-fungal one is made from Greek oregano known as Origanum heracleoticum. I am growing my own, and my project is going to be to make my own oregano oil that is fresher and strong. Freshness is key. There is also Origanum majorana, also known as Marjoram, which some companies combine with Orignaum vulgare (wild american oregano), great supplement, but not the one.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 This may be an ignorant question, but how do all these treatments differenciate between the bad guys and good guys?? Does anybody know for certain if it is innocently killing off the good guys in the long run too? I look at this as a war...and could this be " friendly fire " ??? BUT KILLED all the same with good intentions? I truly do not know...but thought about this and it made me worry. Because when we gave KiKI Nystatin....her gut began to bloat again...which shocked me. It also made her vomit and it was special compounded SCD safe too. Some of her autistic behavior started to re- emerge. I know antibiotics can't differenciate (this is why they kill off all the good gut guys). I wonder if anybody knows....I will ask my DAN! and GI doctor. Look forward to hearing input. Wouldn't that be horrible if we where innocently killing the good guys too. YIKES! Since SCDiet starves the bad guys...this is why we are told to eat the yogurt daily in Elaine's book...since they get hungry too and begin to starve and die themself (good or not)..with nothing to ferment in the gut to eat on. The bad guys loose because they starve...and good guys are constangly being put back in ( or should be in an adequate manner)....so they are replaced when they die of starvation. KiKI's tummy within 3 days of intro with SCD yogurt went back down to normal...her thrush was gone. AND SCD safe accidophilus. Her behavior went back to normal too. All stimming gone. In some ways if this is the case...we are lucky, because her liver can't do all those antifungals, she is too small, too young and to vulnerable. Doctor will not agree to it either. I also was wondering if cultured butter only have the SCD safe good gut guys in it and no bad guys like bifidus??? AND is the casein rendered harmless. If yes I would like to try..can somebody let me know how to do this. Antoinette > > > > > > Yeasts can often mutate as quickly as every 4 days.
