Here's Jan Weiss' summary of Molybdenum and Pantethine use. Pantethine is preferred as many cannot convert B-5 to Pantethine from impaired digestion. Molybdenum detox seems to rely on good assimilation. Note the dose for Molybdenum is in micrograms. Overuse of Molybdenum may cause joint pain as antagonizing copper assimilation. Consider "growing your own" to get the full complement of trace minerals like Molybdenum in greens and vegetables. Thanks for the heads-up!

"Acetaldehyde is a particularly toxic substance which, in addition to being produced by Threonine and Ethanol, is a product of the metabolism (i.e. fermentation) of carbohydrate in yeast -- hence the Candida connection. Acetaldehyde is thought to be the major source of tissue damage in alcoholics rather than ethanol itself. The conversion of Acetaldehyde into Acetic Acid for this reaction to occur, threonine to acetaldehyde to Acetic acid to Acetyl Coenzyme A, NAD (Niacine Amide) is required, and Aldehyde Oxidase is dependent of Riboflavin, Iron [NORDSKOVEN NOTES: IRON MAY BE INCREASED MORE EFFICIENTLY WITH SUBLINGUAL B-12 AND 50mg B-6 DAILY RATHER THAN IRON SUPPLEMENTS], and Molybdenum. These forgoing nutrients could be helpful to Candida albicans patients, and others who are sensitive to various fragrances and airborne odors. Those patients with Aldehyde sensitivity are incredibly sensitive to any type of fragrance.

There's a little squibb in the newsletter from the Environmental Health Association of Dallas on fragrance. "Perfume today is not made from flowers but from toxic chemicals... More than 4,000 chemicals are used in fragrances. Of these, 95 percent are made from petroleum. Some toxic chemicals found in fragrances: toluene, ethanol, acetone, formaldehyde, limonene, benzene derivatives, methylene chloride, and many others known to cause cancer, birth defects, infertility, nervous system damage, or other injuries... Exposure to scented products can cause exhaustion, weakness, 'hay fever', dizziness, difficulty concentrating, headaches, rashes, swollen lymph glands, muscle aches and spasms, heart palpitations, nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting, asthma attacks, neuromotor dysfunction, seizures, and loss of consciousness." This was reprinted from 'No Perfume Means Healthier Air' brochure, Breath of Fresh Air Battleaxe, Oakland, California.

Dr. Atkins writes in his newsletter about Pantethine which he prescribes to his Crohn's Disease and Colitis patients, with acknowledgement to Dr. Melvin Werbach for Dr. Werbach's study that demonstrated that people with colitis have markedly decreased Coenzyme A activity if the mucosal surface of their colons, even when the blood levels of Pantothenic acid are normal. Dr. Atkins concluded, based on his success with these patients of his, that Pantethine bypasses the block in converting Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) to Coenzyme A. But also, that Pantethine is a growth factor for Lactobacillus Bulgaricus and Bifidobacterium that we know help control yeast overgrowth (and Dr. Cooter also speaks of it in his book). Candida, according to antibody studies done at the Atkins Center, is involved in more than 80 percent of all cases of Crohn's and Colitis.

And for autoimmune problems, Dr. Atkins states, 'For all conditions that a doctor might prescribe prednisone -- allergies, asthma, Rheumatoid Arthritis , psoriasis, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases -- pantethine can be safely, effectively substituted. I routinely use it for all of those conditions on hundreds of my patients, and it's valuable in weaning them off steroidal drugs, or certainly in allowing a lower dose...'

By upping body levels of a body enzyme, Pantethine counteracts brain fog, certain allergic sensitivities, and some consequences of alcoholism. (And here it is --) ... In people with candidiasis, the enzyme fights off a toxic byproduct called Acetaldehyde, which is thought to cause brain fog, often-suffered but rarely diagnosed.... Acetaldehyde also is suspected of being responsible for some symptoms of alcoholism, including alcoholic heart muscle disease. The pantethine-stimulated enzyme also detoxifies formaldehyde, an all too frequent offender for chemically sensitive individuals."

In summary, Dr. Atkins is saying that Pantethine, without toxic consequences, can reduce cholesterol, counteract oxidation, stimulate the growth of friendly bacteria, and fight allergies, inflammation, autoimmune disruptions, and alcoholism. In case you wondered, Dr. Cooter and Dr. Schmitt suggest 300 micrograms of Molybdenum in three divided doses per day, and further suggests staying on it for at least 4 months. Dr. Atkins suggests 450 to 900 miligrams daily of Pantethine with an equal amount of Pantothenic Acid." --Jan Weiss
