Re: Minimalist Yeast Abatement Protocol
In light of the previous post, trying to starve the yeast out of existence in your system by depriving it of the
Sugar that it likes and needs might seem like a reasonable approach. In fact,
Sugar cravings are one of the indicative signs that there is an overgrowth of yeast on board, intercepting what the body needs for its own energy requirements. If a significant proportion of sucrose in the diet emerges as acetaldehyde, reducing the amount of raw material for yeast metabolism is certainly a factor in recovery.
However, too strict a diet in this regard may be counterproductive. It is impossible to remove the yeast from your system by simply starving it to death. You will be a casualty before it is. Candida Albicans is an incredibly robust and versatile organism. Fungi, in general, are totally reliant on other hosts for their energy requirements and have become adept at finding ideal environments, waiting out times of short supply, and migrating to other locales in search of their sustenance. When nutrients are not forthcoming, Candida Albicans can go dormant for extended periods waiting or it can shift from a budding phase to a hyphal growth mode secreting the enzyme phospholipase to burrow its way through tissue.
The individuals who described their experiences in the Wondro testimonials pamphlet did not implement any strict dietary protocols to achieve their personal remarkable results. All they did was consume a daily dosage of sulfurated flax oil, which in light of what is now known, looks like a highly efficient acetaldehyde scavenger. This focuses the spotlight on this toxin as perhaps being the most significant factor of yeast metabolism in the etiology of a wide variety of disease states.
Since we now have a much clearer idea of where this toxin is coming from (commensal yeast) and how this yeast manages to increase its stake in the body (
Antibiotic selective removal of intestinal bioflora, for example), we should be able to do at least as well, hopefully better, at managing yeast overgrowth and its deleterious effects.
Any effective yeast abatement protocol must at least attempt to:
• scavenge and neutralize any acetaldehyde being produced
• stop the production/release of acetaldehyde from the yeast
• reactivate the body's own innate immune response to reduce yeast populations
• supply the necessary resources to the innate immune system to perform this task
• reduce the level of viable yeast cells capable of producing acetaldehyde
• repopulate the gut with beneficial bacteria for competitive exclusion
Furthermore, it should be able to do these things without too severe a dietary regimen and without side effects that prevent the protocol from being continued indefinitely.
