candida, fungus, food allergies, and cabbage

[Guest guest]

" the candida (if we have it) also needs to be killed and the bowel replenished

with friendly

bacteria. We all have some candida in our intestines; it's only a problem when

there is an

overgrowth and we must kill and replenish the friendly, good bacteria. "

This is so important!

CSM does NOT kill candida. Long term antifungals are necessary. The antifungals

kill the

fungus in the mycelial stages, which is a middle one, so it is necessary to do

it for a long

time in order to have the best outcome.

ALSO, when it dies, it strikes back with toxins, so it is necessary to have a

plan in order to

get well. The herks reactions can be brutal, so it is important to do a low

dose, long term,

and take it easy, only do as much as YOUR body can handle, which may not be as

much as

anyone else thinks.

I think diet is good, but it did nothing for me in my state of fungal infection

overload, plus

remediating the moldy house at the same time.

I should say that for many years we had some success with the diet approach, but

with the

increasing severity of the mold exposure. which we did not know about, it became

moot,

and we nearly died.

I think our problems were so exacerbated by living with the hidden mold toxins

that the

improvements could not last forever. Also that the kids grew up and would not do

a diet

like that anymore. My son's ADHD may well have been caused by the neurotoxic

effects of

the molds, along with fungal infection. I know a woman who gave her son

antifungals and

his ADHD disappeared. He was also allergic to many foods, etc.

But the allergy diet testing that works the best is where you cut everything out

and add it

back slowly week by week, like is doing. No magic bullet, only hard work.

But when

kids are young, it is easier to sell them on it.

One big helping factor I keep hearing about is the probiotics, and fermenting

cabbage is

one of the best ones- natural saurkraut, kimchee, etc. Cabbage has a large

amount of

acidophilous naturally, but with a starter, you can use almost any vegetable,

the cabbage

becomes unnecessary. The thing seems to be to getting a lot of starter in to

keep bad

microorganisms at bay while the acidophilous developes. Start with eating small

amounts

and seeing how well we tolerate it. I have not tried making it myself, but keep

meaning to

when I get some energy. Also another way to get probiotics is by using a

probiotic starter

and making coconut milk kefir. That is pretty easy, by comparison. I have done

that, and it

does not take too much time. I bought the starter from a local woman who makes

the

saurkraut and relish.
