Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Sol.......I believe candida can get into the brain. Also can cause fungal meningitis. ***** Test showed I have the white matter on the brain. I believe it to be candida. If I eat to much sugar, I can get terrible head pain. I also control most of the terrible pain in my head with fish oil. If I don't take 6 to 8 capsules a day, (split up morning and evening) I will get unbearable migraine pain and will be throwing up. I think it is the inflammatory fungus meningitis that causes the terrible pain. The fish oil helps to settle the inflammation. ******has anyone ever heard if the white matter on/ or in the brain, is something other then Candida infection. <>kathy<> ------------------------------ In a message dated 1/6/2008 9:59:32 PM Central Standard Time, solbun@... writes: Reposting under different subject since no replies to my first post. > I am reading claims on another list that candida can cross the > blood-brain barrier and infect the brain. > Anybody know is this is true? > sol > > **************Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I have yet to find the source I spoke of earlier that led me to believe that candida could not cross the blood brain barrier, but in my search for it I ran across this abstract that I had bookmarked to read on a non-brain fog day. Allow me to contradict myself for a moment- This abstract http://iai.asm.org/cgi/content/full/69/7/4536 from an in-vitro study seems to say that while the non-antagonistic c. albicans cannot cross the blood brain barrier, that the virulent type can and does. BUT I also gather from this abstract that when it does cross the result is always menengitis and that it is only able to do this in premature infants and severely immunocompromised individuals. So, I still stick to my original belief that the brain fog and other related symptoms that we all experience are due to toxins produced by candida & die-off, rather than actual candida in our brains. If we truly had candida in our brains; we would be on our death beds. Does anyone interpret this differently? Also, on a somewhat related note here is another site that offers fantastic pictures of candida in its yeast form and in its fungal form. http://overcomingcandida.com/candida_albicans_pictures.htm Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thanks! My understanding has always been the same as yours, that candida produces the brain fog etc by other means (toxins, etc) rather than infecting the brain directly. I would think that if candida infection exists in the brain there would be hundreds of papers on it, as autopsies would be exposing it frequently. sol jmoan wrote: > So, I still stick to my original belief that the brain fog and other related symptoms that we all experience are due to toxins produced by candida & die-off, rather than actual candida in our brains. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 ---Jen I confirmed the same thought last year from 2 different docs who both are very candida literate. They both say that it is the die off from the candida that cause the various parts of our body to react. Its kinda like when you have a virus and have a headache, muscle aches, sore throat ect. You donthave a virus in your head muscles or throat all at the same time, but your body reacts differently. the over growth of candida is in the intestines. the dieoff affects your whole body. sue =^.^= Sue K ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
