congrats on your results. i tried lufenuron for three months. the first month was fantastic, by month two -- little impact, by month three -- no effect at all. i’ve since tried low dose iodine and that seems to be working pretty well. i have a history of cipro and levaquin antibiotics use, and they are full of fluoride, which binds to iodine receptors. i had all the classic hypo symptoms, like cold hands and feet, insomnia, dry brittle hair, fatigue, high bp and cholesterol, etc. my body temps and sleep patterns instantly improved. libido a lot stronger, was able to think clearly ...

threads like this are helpful, no matter what. :-) skeptics, go for it! i’ve been doing iodine now for a week and have had two days of rough detoxing, but in the more extended periods where i’m able to rid my body of toxins (in my case probably a lot of fluoride from cipro and levaquin, in addition to mercury from fish), i am feeling better than i have in years. hills and valleys. what matters most is safely getting well, and for that i thank you all.   [End]

hi, Ginagirl - can you give us some detail on your boron candida protocol? i noticed you listed a dosage, but how about taking it with or without food, times per day, the amount of time it took for results, total duration of treatment, etc. i’ve read some things about boron and kidney problems (this may be due to it mobilizing fluoride), so i’m somewhat hesitant to try boron, but curious to hear how others have done with it. thanks! :-)   [End]

absolutely right. zinc depletes copper, so to treat copper toxicity, add zinc. getting tested during this process, under a doctor’s supervision, is also a great idea. :-)   [End]

hi, mikeyoung - yes, the lavi sinus wash is helpful. i’ve been adding probiotic (healthy) bacteria from sauerkraut, since i read that l. sakei bacteria are resident in sinuses of healthy people. it’s working, but requires some diligence. will continue to keep you all updated.   [End]

i’m also dealing with a long term sinus infection that is fungal in origin. tonight i added 1 capsule of sodium butyrate and 2 capsules of interfase plus to my neti pot. for saline, i used a sinus rinse agent called ”lavi wash”. so far i’m feeling a lot better. will report back on how this all goes. :-)   [End]

After 40-some years of anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia, all it took for me was a very aggressive antifungal protocol, to eliminate a systemic fungal infection, using lufenuron in combination with various herbals, and a lower carb (but not VLC) diet. Die off lasted about a week, and it was uncomfortable, but in about 4 weeks, all my feelings of unease disappeared. Along with this, I’ve noticed my breathing is clearer (lungs and sinuses), my muscles are more limber, my body has fewer aches and pains, my prostatitis has healed up, and I’ve also got more energy. I’m not totally ...

store bought kefirs don’t have as many CFUs (colony forming units) of bacteria as home brewed. its also not as wide a variety. luckily, home brewed is cheap and easy to do.   [End]

well done, treechug -- it’s always great to hear a success story that comes at the tail of much trial and error. mine is much the same. i cured my constipation with lufenuron. kefir probably operates on a very similar level, since it’s got friendly yeasts in the grains that are anti-candida. similarly, lufenuron dissolves the outer shell of yeast, although its action is more global, less confined to the colon. my guess is you’re feeling much better in general, as constipation puts a load on the liver, creates anxiety, etc. congrats. :-)   [End]

hey, your symptoms have a fair amount of overlap with my own. i have had bad fungal overgrowth since childhood, and it’s a struggle, especially when i am under stress. about 6 weeks ago i ate a starchy meal and that was all it took to kick the fungal overgrowth into high gear. i did colloidal silver for 3 days, and that helped to reverse the acute problem, but one day in a FB forum someone asked if i had heard of lufenuron. it’s actually an animal med, not for human consumption, but it acts as a chitin disruptor, and candida’s outer shell is made of chitin. i tried it on 9/4/14 and i h ...

Black Garlic is by far my favorite healthy and tasty food. It has a sweet flavor, like dried cherry or tamarind. You can make it yourself, easily, with a rice cooker, slowly aging it for two weeks on the ”keep warm” setting. see my profile for an easy recipe, and links to scientific studies that demonstrate the powerful benefits of this superfood. among other things, it’s rich in S-allylcysteine, and contains allicin, an antimicrobial/antifungal compound. unlike raw garlic, the aging process makes it much easier to digest, and even people on low fodmap diets may find it poses no pr ...

jurplesman, i recently started a very aggressive cleanse to remove candida overgrowth, and the first things i noticed were greatly improved sleep, and a dramatic reduction in my anxiety levels. when i drank heavily, many years ago, i was often self-medicating these very same problems. i’m pretty sure the fungal overgrowth had been impairing my vagal nerve tone. now my parasympathetic function has really come back into balance. i’m able to relax and digest better, i can perspire, my blood pressure is lower, mood is improved, etc. given how sugars from alcohol feed candida, how mu ...

Interesting, because I also felt pleasantly sleepy after doing Lufenuron for the first time, and have continued to experience very deep, restful sleep, weeks after. you can check my GNH blog in my profile to read an in depth account of my experience with Lufenuron. I’m pretty happy with it, overall. :-)   [End]

total nonsense. i’ve seen a mucoid plaque come out of my own body after taking lufenuron and interfase plus. why is it conventional medicine mouthpieces are so worried a naturopath, somewhere, might actually be right? why defend against reality?   [End]

oleander is poisonous and can kill. please don’t mistype ”oregano” as ”oleander” in a forum where so many self-experimenters could kill themselves. i repeat: oleander is poison. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerium#Toxicity   [End]

furthermore, when i have a flare up of candida, i get leg cramps and heart palpitations. i’m not going to stop taking magnesium, because i think the candida is sapping it from my body to build biofilms. instead, i believe the answer is to supply the magnesium while fighting candida via other means, like drinking lemon water, taking olive leaf extract, oregano oil, grapefruit seed extract, and -- most importantly -- eating a low carb diet that excludes things like sucrose, fructose, grains, potatoes, rice and dairy products. it’s also essential, in my opinion, to add probiotics direct ...

this article suggests just the opposite, that magnesium inhibits candida: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22124069 i think pH makes more of a difference with candida growth than anything else. take vitamin c with your magnesium supplement and you not only absorb more of the magnesium, but you make it more acidic, which will curb yeast overgrowth.   [End]
