Re: Virastop/Candidase - great low and slow method, Next steps?

[Guest guest]

I am not sure if it will help, but it did improve things at my

house. For us, lectins were also an issue. We had to start soaking

grains and nuts to make them digestable. There is also a supp called

lectin lock from VRP.com. There is a group on lectins, and it

is not a real active list, but the files have a lot of info and there

are some very knowledgeable people on that list. Might be a help to

read. We do use high DPPIV enzymes and we still had issues, but the

soaking has helped and plan to add lectin lock in, after new years

when finances are a bit better.

hope this helps

Have you tried it with No-Fenol? That enzyme helped my son with many

fruits, altho not all.

My son did not tolerate anything orange or green, even with enzymes.

That problem was caused by improper carotene conversion, which

required several supplements to correct.

Biotin was essential at my house for our bodies to control yeast on

their own.

Candidase is for yeast, Virastop is for viruses.

Or

Definitely keep that.
