Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi Sis. I took Fungal first and felt horrible! Then once I started the Primal it was like taking a medicine that made me feel 10 times better. I would suggest that since you are sensitive you may want to start with Primal and let it build your system up a little bit before taking the fungal.... and never take them together! I did that and threw up all night long. LOL --- In , " auntsisnj " <auntsisnj@l...> wrote: > > Hello friends, > > I just purchased Fungal Defense and Primal Defense yesterday at the > Vitamin Shoppe.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I think if you take Primal first and then Fungal, you risk part of the bacteria Primal built back up, being killed by the Fungal. Rogene is the expert here, Rogene is this possible? I know with other anti-fungals and probiotics it does happen. Kenda > Hi Sis. I took Fungal first and felt horrible!

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yes, and you would have to take the Primal again after the Fungal. But if you are sensitive and the fungal makes you ill then it is worth it to boost your probiotics first in order to handle it better.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 As I understand it, Fungal Defense is the stronger of the two. It's intention is to decrease the negative organisms before introducing positive new ones through use of particular soil organisms. If Fungal Defense is taken secondly, some of the benefits of having taken Primal Defense will be erased.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 . . . It may have been that, even though you felt horrible on Fungal Defense, it prepared you for the benefits of Primal Defense. . . They are both amazing products! One must drink plenty water while taking these products! . . . The concern that doctors have when giving someone an antifungal, like Diflucan, is liver failure due to the toxic effects of the fungal die-off. I don't think Fungal Defense is as strong, but the purpose is the same, so I have to assume the liver may be affected. One should start slowly with both products . . . one the first day, and one more each day thereafter until one is taking four in the a.m. and four in the p.m. . .. . Never start out with a full dose!

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Sis, I take quite a few GOL products . . . and I like all I've taken. I did have a reaction to Fungal Defense and Primal Defense when I started, but no more. I take Primal Defense only a couple times a month now. I was having a problem with my feet burning a couple years ago. Tests didn't show anything. I took some info about magnesium to my primary care doc. She recommended that I see a naturopath. The naturopath got me started taking more GOL products . . . . I felt better within a few days - My feet seldom burn now and my massage therapist says my muscles feel completely normal now. They used to feel like rocks - all stuck together! According to the naturopath, you can take a boatload of vitamins, but if they're not formulated so your body thinks they're food, they are wasted. I have no doubt there are other high quality vitamins available . . . But, like the story goes, you quit looking when you find what you're looking for! I do want to add Miracle II neutralizer soon though!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Does everyone need to take the fungal defense, or only if you suspect a fungal problem. I don't know what to look for, but I don't think I have one. Would you recommend doing that no matter what?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Obviously, not everyone needs this stuff.... But many of us who have had implants end up with systemic fungal problems. I have found that probiotics of some sort are essential. > > > > > Hello friends, > > > > > > I just purchased Fungal Defense and Primal Defense > > > yesterday at the > > > Vitamin Shoppe.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I was wondering the same thing. I have the feeling that my problems stem from the chemicals themselves since I got sick pretty quickly.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 No, not everyone needs Fungal Defense . . . But, if you have vaginal yeast infections, dandruff, fungal toenail problems, thrush, irritable bowl syndrome (IBS), chronic sinus problems, etc., or if you demonstrate problems with the spit test, it should be beneficial. Both negative and postive organisms are part of the normal flora of the body. Unfortunately the negative organisms take over when the beneficial organisms are depressed by illness, antibiotics and steroids. . . . IMHO, Primal Defense would benefit everyone unless they eating " close to the earth " . . . i.e. " The Maker's Diet " . Commercially processed foods are seriously short of these organisms because of sterilizing, processing, herbicides and fertilizers. There is a tremendous amount of information available on these organisms with a websearch. Fungal/yeast/Candida problems are overlooked by most medical doctors. . . yet the consequences of a fungal overgrowth can be serious. It's something one really needs to figure out for yourself! For myself, if I took Fungal or Primal Defense and had a big herx, I would take that as a signal that my body really, really needed it. I would cut back to a small dose and gradually work up to a full dose. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Rogene - that really helped. I definitely have chronic sinus problems and never realized it could be from fungal problems. I just wondered what to look for with a fungal problem. I guess I would sort of find out when I start taking it whether or not I need it. My next step is to get it. By the way, what is the spit test? My natural doc had had me on a list of natural supplements, but whenever I take them I herx so badly I have to stop. I spent so much money on them, but I just can't take them. I guess he could have been right that I needed them - if I was herxing. THANK YOU!! Cherie > > No, not everyone needs Fungal Defense . . .
