Everyone with Candida produces extra alcohol in the body and has Auto Brewery syndrome to one degree or another. http://www.duicandida.com/dr-oz-and-auto-brewery-syndrome/

This is a nice article relating inflammation to many physical and mental diseases. Candida is a cause in over 125 conditions due to the inflammation it drives in the body. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//191205141724.htm

Auto Brewery Syndrome goes mainstream on Dec. 20th with Dr. Oz discussing this unacknowledged condition - https://www.doctoroz.com/page/where-watch-dr-oz-show

I find myself getting asked more and more to be an expert witness on candida and DUIs. It’s an interesting arena and something we’ll see more about in the future. http://www.duicandida.com

This will be the new therapy soon for women who need it. I would recommend correcting fungal candida to see even better results. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-019-0600-6

This message is repeated again and again on this page, but seldom seen or heard anywhere else. The bacteria of our microbiome are the caretakers of the body and wiping them out, as antibiotics do, doesn't make sense. The leading causes of death in the world are all connected to antibiotic use. Their use creates fungal candida, which is connected to over 125 different diseases and conditions. I believe that antibiotics are associated with far more deaths than the number of pe...ople whose lives are saved because of them. It is something that society is slowly coming around to. "The research discovered that signals from gut bacteria help to maintain a first line of defense in the lining of the lung. When mice with healthy gut bacteria were infected with the flu, around 80% of them survived. However, only a third survived if they were given antibiotics before being infected." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//190702112834.htm

We've seen good responses with neurological issues and the Plan. Fungal candida skews immune system responses away from the Th1 immune system response, which is the antifungal and antiviral response, towards a Th2 response, which allows viral and fungal infections. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//190716081050.htm

I have always recommended doing the Plan ahead of surgeries to improve recovery time and facilitate faster tissue repair. Given that antibiotics are always given, it's probably a good idea to follow up with the Plan, as well. "This research is in early stages, but if it pans out in humans, it's possible we could change or fix the patient's gut microbiome before they go in for hip or knee replacement and that could further reduce the risk of infection," said Christopher He...rnandez, associate professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, and the paper's first author. In the future, the researchers will investigate whether patients could be prepped ahead of surgery with emerging microbiome-based therapies or a readily available one, such as a regimen of probiotics. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//190718122855.htm

When we take antibiotics, we wipe out all of the bacteria in the body within 5 to 7 days and it takes 6-12 months or more to recolonize the intestinal tract, although some bacterial species don't come back resulting in a permanent alteration of the bacterial flora throughout the body. Destroying the microbiome is not a good thing, but something every doctor who prescribes antibiotics is okay with. Antibiotic use leads to many diseases and conditions. "They found that bacteria...-free mice had a weak immune response, were unable to eliminate the virus and developed worsening paralysis, while those with normal gut bacteria were better able to fight off the virus. Mice treated with antibiotics before the onset of disease were unable to defend themselves. They also had fewer immune cells called microglia, which help flag viruses for destruction by other immune cells. Our results emphasize the importance of maintaining a diverse community of bacteria in the gut, and that interventions to restore this community after taking antibiotics may be necessary." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//190716081050.htm

Antibiotics promote unhealthy gut and an unhealthy gut promotes cancer and many other conditions. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//190610111539.htm

All cells require iron to function and limiting iron can impact the activity and health of cells, too. Iron chelation can impact fungal candida, but it can also impact the cells of the body. For instance, the body's immune cells can be less effective with iron deficiency. This is one limitation in trying to starve candida and other pathogens. Lactoferrin is a natural iron chelator that can also help to boost immune function, reduce bone loss, etc. The iron-free form of Lacto...ferrin is best - http://shop.candidaplan.com/lactoferrin-apo/. It can be helpful as a rinse in people with oral thrush. Another paper cites taking lactoferrin orally along with inserting probiotics vaginally in women with bacterial vaginosis over the course of a month - https://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/10.1139/bcb-2016-0051 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//190524130224.htm

We've seen good results correcting fungal candida, which allows for correcting the intestinal microbiota. "We find that more than half of the studies included showed it was positive to treat anxiety symptoms by regulation of intestinal microbiota. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//190520190110.htm

A recent article by the New York Times on April 6th about Candida auris had many people forwarding the article to me. The last time it was mentioned was in 2017 and I wrote the article below about it. Much hasn't changed since then. There have been 587 cases reported, according to the NYT article. It still doesn't compare to the millions affected by Candida albicans and the thousands that die from it in hospitals. That's old news and old news doesn't interest anyone. A follow...-up article by the New York Times on April 8 highlights how doctors, hospitals, nursing centers, and other health care facilities won't talk about it or report it for fear of losing business. As the reporter wrote, "The rise in resistant bugs is cloaked in widespread and chronic secrecy." https://www.nytimes.com//heal/candida-auris-hospitals.html I don't find Candida auris to be more problematic than Candida albicans or other strains of candida. The continued overuse of antibiotics that creates antifungal resistant C. auris and the use of antifungal medications are truly the issues to be looked at. The failure of this approach has hospitals and doctors running away from reporters for fear of the truth getting out. https://www.candidaplan.com/candida-auris-striking-gold-wi/
