Re: Some good news for a change

All who has or has had an chronic unresponsive fungal infection for a while has an acquired Cell-mediated immunity suppression. I say acquired because people who suffer CMC has an intrinsic immune defect that allows the fungus growth. Those people generally have severe fungal skin lesions that begin early in life. They need systemic antifungal for life and isn't the case of CRC.

However, there is the case of most of us who have developed a fungal infection by different reasons such as Antibiotic use, body toxicity, etc. In our case, the suppressed immunity is acquired and reversible.

The human body has two main defenses against fungal colonization, CMI and the antagonistic microflora. If for some reason those mechanisms get disturbed, candida has a chance to gain colonization and to become pathogenic.

The more aggressive causes of disturbing the defense mechanisms are Antibiotics and heavy metal. In most of the cases, this is the root of the problem.

Mercury and candida, both, have a tremendous ability of polarizing the immune system in an stuck Th2 immune response leaving Th1 inactive. This explain why we don't respond to a single Fluconazole tablet as most "normal" people do.

Anyway, the battle is to restore Cell-mediated immunity. It is clear that candida has to be driven out to recover Th1 as well as Mercury in the case it be an offender. Parallel to it, it can be done an effort to balance the antagonistic flora.

Cimetidine.

Science has found that Cimetidine has an strong effect boosting Cell-mediated immunity. It is probably the cheapest and more accessible supplement to do it. Bovine Transfer Factor is also used.

Since, Cell-mediated immunity is the most important immune response to eliminate a mucosal fungal infection, the use of Cimetidine may give the needed boost to accomplish it. One time candida be out of the intestines, a automatic immune balance will take place restoring Cell-mediated immunity. This is in the case that any other immune offender be present.

Cimetidine may have a tremendous value in a war against a persistent mucosal fungus.
