Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Louise, Are you on Primal Defense? PD has been shown effective against candida without dietary change (that was the impression I got from the report of the study), so including PD with your diet would be very wise for making it much more effective.

I agree about antifungals, however not so sure antifungal drugs are a good idea at all. As to typical antifungals used in candidal therapy, I had lots of fungal symptoms that I thought were candida, and went on a very strict anticandida diet for a month with MSM, 6 tbsp colloidal silver a day, heaping teaspoons of ground oregano vulgare every day, and an oil of wild oregano non-alcohol tincture. It helped a little bit, but not a lot. OTOH, Primal Defense nearly obliterated all my symptoms in a few weeks, dramatic results begiinning after about 2 weeks. Butter oil seemed to help too, but I'm now thinking the PD helped a lot more. You're supposed to use Fungal Defense for two weeks before PD for candida and fungal problems, but I didn't.

Most tomato sauces have added sugar in them. If you read labels scrupulously, you can find tomato sauces without added sugar. It seems marinara is less likely to have sugar, but I don't know if that always holds. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Does anyone know an internet mail order company where I can get primal defense? My Inner Garden Flora won't last much longer. I am keen to try a digestive enzyme as well, hopfully from the same internet shop. On advice from this list, I'd think I need one with HCl.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I didn't notice anyone else respond to this, so I'll recommend iherb.com which Suze recommends. I haven't bought it from them yet, but Suze said she got hers in about a day after ordering. Of course it would take longer to get to UK! But they also run cheaper than what most other sell the same products for.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Chris- Actually, my understanding is that even basic tomato products (like paste and juice) can have tons of added sugar without the sugar being listed on the label, because it's apparently legal to add enough to boost the sugar content to the " normal " level for the particular fruit or vegetable without actually listing it. I believe Muir Glen doesn't do this, though, and they're organic and tasty to boot. >Most tomato sauces have added sugar in them.
