Re: *ELECTRODINE* and candida

[Guest guest]

I would like to know how he "routinely evaluates products for their ability to kill Candida yeast".

He says, "this was obviously an in-vitro experiment." That means, an experiment in a test tube, i.e., NOT in the body. This is not a very good test -- especially if you are looking at iodine -- since the body conditions such as pH are so essential in what iodine products are formed and what effects it has.

So, while this is interesting, it is not "proof" of the effect of any iodine product on candida in the body.

And this is a topic I would LOVE to see good information on since it is one of the areas of iodine controversy: What is the effect of iodine on yeast and bacteria in the intestinal tract?

I routinely evaluate products for their ability to kill Candida yeast,as this is the predominant yeast in humans. Your Electrodine killed yeast unlike anything I've ever seen. In thepictures I sent, the comparisons are with Diflucan, a well known,highly-effective prescription antifungal and Iodoral, an iodinesupplement that has worked very well for myself and my patients. In defense of the Iodoral, it needs stomach acid for activation, andthis was obviously an in-vitro experiment. Not so, however, with theDiflucan. I have switched to the Electrodine myself and will be putting all mypatients on it as an anti-fungal as well as for iodide replacement,critical for thyroid function.
