Re: New here...cortef/candida quesion

[Guest guest]

Pete,

I honestly don't know for sure, but I have read that low-dose Cortef,

which you are on, is just replacing what your body isn't making, and

is not enough to suppress the immune system. Usually steroids such as

Cortef are given in much bigger doses for things like autoimmune

diseases and inflammation to dampen the immune response. Low-dose

Cortef part of the Teitelbaum chronic fatigue syndrom protocol which

also includes antifungals. I'm on just 5mg a day of Cortef plus

antifungals.

I also heard that steroids help spread fungus, but I can't be sure of

anything. Thanks.

Pete:

I don't know if Steroids and Steroid hormones are the same thing but Steroid

hormones sure do FEED the Fungus.

Vitamin D is a steroid hormone as is Cortef, which is given in low

doses to people with low cortisol but not 's.

Would going out in the sun increase candida? Why would the steroid

hormones feed fungus? In large amounts they suppress the immune

system, but I'd like to hear more of what you mean. Thanks.

Steroids seriously affect blood sugar levels, which is how they feed candida.

Anything that raises your blood sugar level is providing a picnic for

candida. I work in a hospital as a technician and frequently test patients on

steroids as they have to have their blood sugar closely monitored just like

diabetics because of how much it can affect them.

Terry, Does that mean we shouldn't take vitamin D nor go out in the

sun? Mine is low and I've been supplementing with it and it seems to

help, but it is a steroid.
