Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Ok, I am new to this group and new to Candida and its treatment. I am currently taking Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50 billion probiotics and have been since Nov. I'm not sure I have noticed a different in how I feel. I have never heard of prebiotics till joining this group. Are probiotics or prebiotics better to take? Which is the best brand? How much are they and where can you buy them at? How long will the results last, and do you have to keep taking them to achieve results? Also, is there anything I can do or take to curb my insane chocolate, caffeine, and sugar cravings? I went 2 days without candy (I still ate sugar in my diet and caffeine) and then I ate half a bag of mini snickers. I have major chocolate cravings and I have zero self control. I am used to eating so badly. I need help!!! +Re: Prebiotics Other Than Inulin? I know that. the question was for Dean who says NOW prebiotic has small amounts of inulin before he started straight out using inulin.. I wasn't clear on what is " NOW prebiotics. " I am guessing he meant probiotics. I have tried NOW's inulin many times in the past and always gotten flare up of candida related symptoms. greg > > > > > > Roy , > > > > > > I found the same thing and after about a week it seemed to start > > > working.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I have a request for Greg, the Greg that Duncan is referring to. Would you please get ahold of me off-line, I have some questions if these comments that Duncan is talking about are true. I just checked my records and the last Greg from this group I talked to or sold anything to was last November 11th.

The citizens under treatment 3,000-5,000 years ago almost certainly had MORE SBOs in their diet than we do today, so theoretically they shouldn't have needed prebiotic treatment because of the SBO presence. But they did, and as we're aware, pretty reliable results with prebiotics are still occurring today without using soil organisms. Soil organisms don;t always work of course, as we saw with Greg on this list, and I'm still interested to know about any results of this approach from my listmates, positive or not, to establish validity. I'm thinking that SBOs may not do much for dysbiosis generally, and although Wil has claimed his particular SBOs kill candida, the dysbiosis that led to the candida in Greg's case apparently remained untouched. Similar results from other SBOs have pretty consistently been reported. So I suggest that if all else fails go ahead and have SBOs or whatever alternative approach that might work, but first do the biologically right thing for at least six months before taking billions of non-native (transient to the human bowel) SBOs than you'd get naturally even 5,000 years ago. I agree with Wil that the soil organisms probably won't colonise the gut because they can't resist the acid environment that your natural probiotics should create. So if you can help your probiotics create that environment, is it logical that foreign germs are necessary as well, or do they actually represent an unknown insult to your natural biology as Gastroenterology Journal articles point out? Meanwhile, research shows Crohn's remission, weight loss, and less gut perforation by simply taking the supplements that a healthy probiotic flourish produces. I think simply maintaining historic levels of inulin in the diet for decent probiotic flourish is the key to bowel health. Nuff said Duncan all good, Duncan > > That is all fine and dandy, but the soil borne microorganisms that have the ability to keep the candida in their correct parameters do not colonize. These transient SBO's are the major factor in the immune and health of the GI tract, in my opinion. Just concentrating on the feeding the colonizing microorganisms is not a good idea in the long term which can create an imbalance. Taking isolated elements to feed the microorganisms with out them being in their whole food form is not the way the body works. These methods are fine in short term therapeutic use, but long term use does create potential problems in the long term. > > Wil Spencer VMSP, Naturopath, author, researcher > Vibrational Medical Science Practitioner; working with the body's electrical system which consists of all muscles, connective tissue,nerve sheaths, rod and cone cells of the eyes and the DNA. > > " The doctor of the future will give no medicines, but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.

I have to say I totally agree with you Duncan. So far, there isn't any other SIMPLE way to " recover " the gut flora than feed those which were left alive allowing them to multiply and grow. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
