Losartan

Curious if anyone here has used Losartan to lower TGF-Beta levels? Shoemaker recommends that as treatment for those exposed to mycotoxins who have high TGF-Beta levels, but according to Dr N, Bart can also cause elevated TGF-Beta numbers. Anyhow, if you have used this I'd love to hear your feedback about it as I'm going to mention it to my LLND as my TGF-Beta level is crazy high.

have you tried Cumanda to get your fungus under control?

Good question AM, I don't know. I certainly have a Candida issue so it could just be picking that up. Although I've read that those with mycotoxicity tend to have Candida as well, so there's that. I do think I just need to pull the bandaid off and get the expensive Real Time Labs test ($700) to know with certainty, especially now that I've had success knocking back other most pressing issues and I need to either completely focus on mold or dismiss it altogether. Also, I just read last night in the Mycotoxins and Mold ebook that the binder one uses for mold is actually dependent upon the actual species. So, that's another reason to have the Real Time Lab test which is species specific, versus TGF-Beta which isn't so exact.

That being said, regardless of the source of inflammation, if Losartan lowers TGF-Beta, it seems like it would be a beneficial thing to do, right?

Rikky, of all of the herbs I've taken, actually Cumanda hasn't been one of them, so I appreciate the suggestion. You've had good success with it?

When my c4a was high.....so was my candida (per candida antibody tests). For reasons like this, I really wish Shoemaker would cover all the bases.

I never heard of Losartan, interesting to see what it does for you. I'll have to goggle it to see what ot really does.

Bumping for more views.

I see folks use Losartan every day, just not for what you mention it for.
