Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 The following is just speculation on my part, but it follows logically from known science: Yeast cells have a protein/cellulose coat, which is why it is difficult to eradicate, antifungals have difficulty getting past the outer coating. Enzymes could possibly knick, or weaken the coating, which could allow antifungals to penetrate the cell, and do their work more quickly. Just a theory, but it could fit what has been described by some, which is increased die-offs when antifungals and enzymes are used together.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Hi, ; That's kind of hard to figure out. Unless she is sensitive to a certain level of one of the ingredients in Peptizyde, I don't know why she would act that way. You might try using 1/2 cap of Pep and 2 Zyme Primes, just to see if that results in more improvement. Let us know how it works out.

I am sooooo tempted to do this if I have a Pep and eat any tiny miniscule infraction of gluten. Generally I have a major upset stomach and major headache, and hitting my head actually helps it feel better, altho my head is already so screwed up that I do try not to do that. Anyway later in the night I will throw up and have major diarrhea. This will occur with one Pep and even one grain of gluten. I would recommend you reduce the Pep dose, or discontinue altogether, unless your daughter is 100% gf. Has she ever been tested for celiac? If she is still eating gluten, I would definitely recommend that test. http://www.celiac.com/index.html Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enzymes probably help the digestion of gluten, but when it is better digested, it apparently destroys intestinal lining much more efficiently LOL [or wait, maybe that is NOT-LOL] Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Since I've already created some consternation for you, I am hesitant here, but would like to tell you of a sign in my naturopath's office: " Famous last words: I don't have a single allergy. " What that means, I think, is that food allergies are often masked or hidden. Only when a person's adaptation is breached, as when I gave up first dairy--and then wheat--do food allergies make themselves known. If you were to continue taking Pep, and if you are a person with hidden allergies, you would likely begin to react to certain foods (or move into a period of strong detox that could be quite similar symptom-wise to allergic reactions). They wouldn't be new allergies, rather allergies you've perhaps had for some time, but your awareness of them would be new. As always, FWIW. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be adding the Peptizyde next week(in small doses). What does " the die-off stage " mean? Thanks Lea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Hi, Celia; There is cellulase in the Zyme Prime, it is in the CereCalase blend, along with hemicellulase and phytase, which breaks down phytates. Yeast cells do have a protein-cellulose coat, so taking high-protease enzymes and cellulase could help " nick " or poke holes in that tough outer coat of the yeast cell, letting nystatin or other medications get into the cell easier. That's the theory anyway, which may also explain the increased die-off reaction often noted when enzymes and nystatin are used together. Cellulase only breaks down cellulose, so the only " neurotoxins " affected would be those of a cellulose nature.
