Re: Re: LDN and Candida/Attn: Crystal, post McCandless' protocol

[Guest guest]

Prescription

Treatment for Candida

Dr. McCandless¢s protocol for those

with insurance is diflucan

(fluconazole) and for you 100mg twice daily for three

weeks, along with flagyl (metronidazole) 500mg twice a

day for 10 days, stop 4 days (to let the spores hatch

out) then 10 more days. Highly recommend you take

good hi-potency probiotics to replace the gut with

good bugs - these are never prescribed, but so

necessary for all of us for good gut health. Be sure

to keep the probiotics and the metronidazole 2 hours

apart, as the probiotics (good bugs) will be destroyed

by the metronidazole. I'm sure no need to mention

eliminate ALL refined sugar (if you love it, it is

your yeast screaming, "SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR!!!". Even

too much fruit sugar is bad, especially strawberries,

watermelon, pineapple, and ripe bananas, and no apple

or grape products, as yeast love these fruits.

Acceptable fruits are kiwi, pears, and berries in

season except for strawberries. Best wishes, Dr. JM

(feel free to share this for those who need

prescription strength yeast treatment).

Hi, Crystal: People are

contacting me about my yeast

protocol; thanks for putting it on the list. When I

say "for you" in that post I am talking to a very tiny

adult under 100#. For an adult this small or children

under 100#, I do give the 100mg twice daily of

diflucan. However, for those over 100# I give 200mg

twice daily for the three weeks. Could you add this

footnote to your posting? Thanks! Dr. JM

I doubt if anyone who does not crave

sugar would have

Candida, but the only way to know for sure is to get a

urinary dysbiosis test (measures by-products of yeast

in the urine) - stool tests can often miss yeast, but

the urine will show it. This is part of the Organic

Acid Test (OAT) and is done by Metametrix, Great

Plains, and Genova Labs - it must be ordered by a

physician. The entire OAT (metametrix calls it

Organix) tells you what vitamins you are missing and

is a very good guage of your overall metabolic

process, including toxicities and deficiencies. The

dysbiosis part only measure the by-products of yeast

and bacteria, and does not cost as much as the full

test. This is one of the routine tests I get on all

children with autism, as they have many metabolic

disorders and most have yeast and bacteria and need to

be treated for this to help them improve their health.

It's just fine to take LDN while fighting candida.

Are you eliminating all sugar, gluten and dairy? low Carb dieting is

best for combating candida. Drink plenty of water, taking extra

potassium and magnesium is needed as a low carb diet works as a

diuretic.

Some supplements Dr. Mccandless has recommended along with diet is.

Probiotics

Olive Leaf Extract

Lauricidin

I used probiotics, Olive Leaf Extract, oil of oregano, garlic, apple

cider vinegar, capryllic acid, grapefruit Seed extract and the low carb

diet and later on, a prescription of Diflucan(it gets to the yeast in

the bloodstream where Nystatin cannot).

You will most likely go through an adverse detox, I sure did. I had

hives, headache, dizziness, nausea and extra fatigue. I also did liver

and parasite detox kits later on. i also do liver detoxes twice a year

and I am currently doing a full system detox, liver, heart, blood,

lymph, colon, kidney

, LDN user 5 years with no progression of progressive MS and no

exacerbations. My success with LDN comes, I believe, with all the

things I do to compliment the LDN, those listed above including pool

therapy.

I am currently recovering from severe food poisoning and am doing

fairly well with no real MS symptoms bothering me, it's food poisoning

symptoms that are my biggest problem at the moment.
