Very important information about immune system and candida
We have already talked about Th1/th2 mode and how Th2 mode is related to candida infection and hypersensitivity of all sorts.
Since few days, I researched this topic. I wanted to know what was the exact problem with the immune system. Why some immune dysfunction allows candida to go chronic.
I believe that low neutrophils(a type of white cells or are supposed to control yeast) is the culprit. Low neutrophils is one of the main attribute of TH2 mode.
The first time I took DMSA was not for a chelation purpose. I knew it can trigger yeast infection. I took it to see if it will trigger a yeast infection and it did. I researched why it does so. It does so because it rapidly decreases neutrophils in blood count. Scientist believes that's why DMSA triggers yeast infection.
So I would like to ask people here to assist me and to find a way to boost neutrophils. I think boosting neutrophils to a very high level should eliminate yeast infection. If a low level explains a flare-up, then it's pretty logical to actively try to raise the neutrophil counts.
This is what Andy Cutler has to say on the subject:
