Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Yes, but it can be hard on the stomach and usually is not used alone. I recommend a herbal combination. Please see the new silicone immune protocol for herbal recommendations at www.plastikos.com as well as an interesting suppository called Pleo Alb which is a homeopathic medicine. . -----Original Message-----From: ~*Patty*~ [mailto:fdp@...]Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 12:38 AM Subject: Caprylic Acid Dr. Kolb, Is caprylic acid effective for getting rid of yeast? I ask for the benefit of those who can't seem to get a prescription for nystatin or diflucan (which is sooooooo expensive). At least caprylic acid can be purchased at the health food store. Would it just be a matter of taking it long enough, or in large enough quantity? Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Very interesting Patty, I think I will try this stuff in 3600 dosage for 3 weks, and see how I feel. Oh, and Dr Kolb, I am still wondering if you have are familar with ant type of hormonal upset with estrogen dominance or heightened levels of it with implants? Are the two connected? I know I am kinda young for "estrogen dominance" , and Dr Mercola is interested if you have seen this before with implanted patients. Thanks alot! >From: "~*Patty*~" >Reply- > >Subject: Caprylic Acid >Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2003 08:35:44 -0700 > >Dimonds, >Here is that reference I mentioned about the caprylic acid and its effectiveness. It is in this great book called Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Environmental Illness put out by the Editors of Alternative Medicine digest. Great info in this book. > >Here is what they say about caprylic acid: (page 98) >"Dr. Braly's first line of attack on candidiasis is caprylic acid, a fatty acid found in coconut oil and shown to be an effective antifungal agent. Only if there is no improvement will Dr. Braly use conventional medication. Since caprylic acid is readily absorbed into the system, it should be taken in an enteric coated (absorbed in the small intestines rather than the stomach) or sustained release form. > >In one study, 16 patients were given 1,800 mg daily of caprylic acid (the commercial brand Capricin) for 16 days, three patients were given 2,700 mg daily, and six received 3, 600 mg per day. The results were a 30% to 90% reduction in Candida levels among those with the 1,800 mg dosage; a 70% to 100% reduction in the three patients taking 2,700 mg, and complete elimination of Candida in two weeks in all of those taking 3,600 mg. > >Dr. Susser agrees with the use of caprylic acid, but cautions that it is far from a panacea. "It's most useful when you combine it with a good diet, allergy care, the right nutrients, acidophilus, and other treatments," he says." > >The book goes on to name some of these other treatments, and they include goldenseal root extract, garlic, castor oil, and Pau d'arco bark. >Patty Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
