Re: Minimalist Yeast Abatement Protocol
Anything with 94 sextillion atoms of sulfur for every two tablespoon dosage is going to have a rather pungent odor, even if the sulfur is buried in the fatty acids of flax oil. At some point in its production history in the first half of the twentieth century the mode of Wondro consumption was changed from a liquid to gel capsules for this very reason. Although it still appeared to work, there was a lingering perception amongst those who made it and took it that it just wasn't quite as effective in this form.
Fast forward to today...have your ever eaten a Caesar Salad with a potent garlic-laced dressing, only to wake up in the morning with furry teeth syndrome?
Is there a connection here?
Assuming that Wondro worked its magic by scavenging acetaldehyde and that the acetaldehyde is emanating from the
Sugar metabolism of commensal yeast, then the historical change in efficacy could be explained by the fact that the capsules missed the initial portion of the alimentary canal -- the esophageal lining. This implies that a significant proportion of the acetaldehyde to blood stream poisoning of the body may occur from this region even before the stomach and intestines because commensal yeast finds this region an ideal colonization locale. Here it is "first in line" for ingested nutrients prior to the rather harshly acidic environment of the stomach.
It is generally accepted now that a coated tongue, something that used to be one of the first things checked as an indicator of good health, is a sign of yeast overgrowth. Ingestion of an antifungal such as the garlic in the salad dressing, which coats the esophageal lining on the way to the stomach, may precipitate an avoidance maneuver shift of the yeast in this area away from the antifungal, that is, towards the mouth (tongue and teeth) with the furry teeth syndrome the net result.
This has implications for any yeast abatement protocol in terms of the delivery mechanism of both acetaldehyde scavengers and antifungal agents. Capsules may not be the best mode for either. The flax oil emulsified NAC conforms to this and should be more effective than the encapsulated form. Garlic capsules similarly should be broken open and stirred into some liquid mixture before ingestion.
