My gut tell`s i am doing something right.This is partly premature,but since i really do feel better i might as well give half time report .
I initially had some different wiews about the candida issue,and how to fix it. i thought i just need very strong anti-fungals to just kill the beast, but now i think there`s more to it.
I am "almost" in conclusion that the holy grail that did big effect was using three substances: ZINK , MOLYBLENUM AND GLUTATHIONE .
Zink is of cource essential for immunity, it is also essential for body to greate Metallothionein in the gut where it detox heavy metals, without zink it cant much happen ,so any zink defiency state compromise the production of Metallothionein. Zink seems to be good for candida.I think theres a catch on taking zink, when starting loading up zink body will use a lot it to make Metallothionein,and thats why even when taking extra zink you might actually have lowered blood zink levels, i am not 100% sure about this, but i do think it takes a lot zink to make Metallothionein,so at first weeks/months migh need even more zink becouse of that.One thing also with zink, if get the zink dose upper when you have lots of candida inside you it is better to dose up also molyblenum and cysteine also for controlling acetaldehyde better, which might get elevated with bigger zink doses.I think acetaldehyde is also anti-microbial agent so dont want it big doses in your gut killing all bacterias.
Molyblenum has at least two important jobs for treating candida, first it balance copper ,and secondly it helps body convert acetaldehydes to non toxic , it probably have other jobs too but right i fail to remember.
Glutathione have direct effect to heavy metals like copper and mercury ,plus tons of other helpfull task in body.I think glutathione also fix the problem taking zink,as zink can mobilize copper and mercury. I probably might not do at all this without glutathione as the mobilized copper and mercury would cause candida flare up 24/7 to my intestines.
I think heavy metals are one major reason of candida problems, so zink,molyblenum and glutathione could be essential for balancing it.There is also opinions that candida is actually protecting body from heavy metals, and might do it with building biofilms, i dont think there is valid proof yet about it, but my gut says there might be truth in it, so thats why i am not sure is using biofilm buster enzymes the right move on beginnen, i think i would give body first time to get the Metallothionein system up and running before starting with the enzymes in larger scale, becouse when the biofilms get removed there might come more free heavy metals and that means larger possibility of full scale candida flare up. When have Metallothionein it should help with the heavy metals issue.
alpha lipoic acid is also one subtance that help body get rid of acetaldehyde, i taked it only 1-2 times shortly, but discontinued becouse i cant be sure does it distribute heavy metals to brain, it might be very handy and ok to use small doses every day thought.
Ok the other stuff i been using are:
Oil of oregano
New Nordic dida ( has many INGREDIENTS)
formula sf722
Candidate
coconut oil
lauricidin
Symbiotics immune formula with colostrum plus
glutamine
selenium
Intramax ( for getting nutrients)
paratrex ( for parasites and fungi )
latero flora
Basillus coagulans
Bacillus Subtilis
Boulardii
Microveda life probiotic drink
caprylic acid
cysteine ( for breaking acetaldehyde )
taked the probiotics just before getting to bed so they have time to live before morning anti-fungals.I am planning to start using prebiotics on near future and ordered also 2 liters of Swedish bitters and planning to use it for the rest of my life as keeping digestive system operational like helping bile flow and keeping stomach acid levels up.
But the bottom line is , i suspect i would have serious difficulties on treating candida without extra zink,molyblenum and glutathione (liposomal glutathione)becouse of copper & mercury load in the gut. I am not taking stand that what i here writes is all final truth, more like it is how i feel and think right now after i feel i moved forward by starting zink,molyblenum and glutathione.
I am also thinking it would be helpful to allways take some anti-fungals same time when eating, as candida do it`s best to survive and use the foods we eat,so i am thinking of using super strong oil of oregano capsules with every meal for now on.Later if get all balanced i will drop all anti-fungals out and see if my gut flora can keep the balance in it`s own like it normally do.
