CanadaMark,

I think you are using one extreme to justify your argument. What you said applies to just about every substance out there, including things like caffeine, sugar, water. Did you know that people have died drinking too much water? Water is a benign substance, but drinking it in excess causes an electrolyte imbalance. The perceived idea out there that people aren't getting enough water is incorrect. The real issue is electrolyte imbalance - things like sodium, potassium, magnesium must always be in proper balance.

Likewise, it's always recommended to take it slow when starting any supplement. This should be common sense, but it's not. People follow the doctor's mentality and think that we need to machine gun something with a maximum dose for it to be effective. This is the mistake I made with taking antibiotics - the dose I was prescribed nearly crippled me.

Exactly, that's why all this talk of how these studies are so valuable because they quantify how much of whatever we should take is bullarkey. The medical establishment has done soooo awesome at that thus far, eh? They have barely even studied the link between fungus and ibd. But every study they have done makes a compelling link. Newsflash, the ONLY reason they are studying substances that can't make money for them like protocoltek's 20 ibd cure is because the stuff that they made that makes money isn't working. AND its been largely off their radar because they have been so focused on pasteur's bacteria theories.

Fungus is way different then bacteria. Give me a bacteria any day over a dimorphic systemic fungus. What they are finding is that the synergy between herbs and meds is undeniable.

They often can't pin down exactly why because herbs are so multifaceted, where as drugs are man made.

It is individual and based on a total strategy. We don't need machine guns. Drops, just DROPS work just fine.

It would appear from what I've read and been told that there is a link between parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses and if you have fungi chances are you have parasites, bacteria and viruses. I've also been told that parasites should be treated first since they harbour and protect fungi, bacteria, viruses so if you treat say fungi and bacteria they will both survive since they are still in the parasites. Any thoughts on this PK?

I do think that treating any potential parasites come first, a thorough cleanse and diet change is the first step. But I also think some herbs hit everything concurrently.

I'm very interested in what helps with eradicating the fungus PK. I am looking forward to your added contributions in this thread. I tried the WOO at a low dose (1-2 drops w/water) with the reuteri and it made my UC worse. I thought maybe it was a fluke so I waited a few days and tried it again. And, again, it got worse....so no more WOO for me. I hope you post some good herbs or medications that can help eradicate fungus. Thanks for making this thread!

It's likely to get worse before better...not that woo is what you need. Just a general caveat.

For those interested in the fungal link
This is EXCELLENT, please watch

The next part of this thread is long and I'm über busy thru next week, but will post as soon as I can.

Very interesting stuff PK. Keep up the good work!

In my search for foods that wont contribute to my Candida problem I found this bread. However the WOO is working great and I am feeling my best lately. I have in the last 3 days ate only meat and spinach either cooked or in salads and have only drank water for some time now. Anyhow I was wondering how PK feels about this bread? It is supposed to be the ONE bread that is not going to contribute to fungus and is actually healthy. Hence the name the recipe was taken from the bible. Ezekiel 4:9 Bread. Of course they make some with with raisins but the whole grain only one I am trying tomorrow. My wife got it from Trader Joes and will be bringing it home. Can you imagine a healthy bread! I looked and read about it and think that some of us may want to switch up to this perhaps.

I think the Ezekiel bread is a good bread as far as breads go. But truly, if you have systemic fungus overgrowth you gotta cut as many carbs as possible.. So all grains. Sprouted or not.

Julian Bakery makes a zero carb paleo bread. It costs a ridiculous amount.

I promise I will finish this thread some day. I've just been so crazy busy.. Just it back from a week in Vegas for business and now have to catch up.
