Re: Why All Candida Cleanses Fail!
Vit B7? Hmmm...
"Biotin deficiency is rare, because intestinal bacteria generally produce biotin in excess of the body's daily requirements. For that reason, statutory agencies in many countries, for example the USA[3] and Australia,[4] do not prescribe a recommended daily intake of biotin. However, a number of metabolic disorders exist in which an individual's metabolism of biotin is abnormal; in these disorders, megadoses of biotin, far higher than the average daily intake from food, can generally mitigate symptoms and correct the underlying metabolic disturbance."

"Symptoms of overt biotin deficiency include:
* Hair loss (alopecia)
* Conjunctivitis
* Dermatitis in the form of a scaly red rash around the eyes, nose, mouth, and genital area.
* Neurological symptoms in adults such as depression, lethargy, hallucination, and numbness and tingling of the extremities.[14]
The characteristic facial rash, together with an unusual facial fat distribution, has been termed the "biotin-deficient face" by some experts. Individuals with hereditary disorders of biotin deficiency have evidence of impaired immune system function, including increased SUSCEPTIBILITY TO BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL INFECTIONS.[15]" (wikipedia; emphasis added)
