Re: Giardia (and candida) toxins

If Molybdenum is what is needed to neutralize candida toxins..Acetaldehyde, what neutralizes Giardia toxins?

>>Giardia relies on glucose as its major energy source and breaks glucose down into ethanol, acetate and carbon dioxide


Hmmm- addictions. I come from two families of generations of alcoholics. Wonder if there is an addiction/candida miasm (!)

Moly and candida:
Acetaldehyde is considered to be the primary toxin that candida releases into the body. The following is slightly technical, but bear with us.

Acetaldehyde is beleived to promote addiction to toxic substances as a result of generating opiate-like biochemicals called (salsolinol and beta-carboline). This may at least partly explain why alcoholics are so addicted to alcohol, cigarette smokers to cigarettes, and candida sufferers to sugar, since all three of these conditions involve chronic excessive body acetaldehyde levels. And, like opiates, it has been suggested that they might promote lethargy, mental cloudiness and fogginess, depression, apathy, inability to concentrate, etc. These are symptoms common to both alcoholism and candidiasis, the two conditions which may generate the highest chronic acetaldehyde levels in the body. It has been suggested that acetaldhyde may be involved with:

Impaired memory

Decreased ability to concentrate (brain fog)

Depression

Slowed reflexes

Lethargy and apathy

Heightened irritability

Decreased mental energy

Increased anxiety and panic reactions

Decreased sensory acuity

Increased tendency to alcohol, sugar, and cigarette addiction

Decreased sex drive

Increased PMS and breast swelling/tenderness in women.

Molybdenum is a trace mineral which is required by the body in breaking down acetaldehyde. As acetaldehyde is the main candida toxin thought to be responsible for many candida symptoms,
