Hi, Barney:

Quote:

if you can eliminate candidiasis and achieve the natural balance of yeast in your intestine you will halt the blood poisoning that is basically causing the inflammation. Is this oversimplifying in your view?




This might be oversimplification, since AS is more complicated in long-standing cases, especially, but the statement is very insightful.

What I believe is that candidiasis is the cause of about 20% of all AS and a complicating factor in fully half of AS cases. It is complex, since it takes a very long time to reduce this fungus to the extent we need to and then rebuild the intestinal mucosa.

I admit limited experience with candidiasis; I have failed the spittle test repeatedly (happily), but I am very aware that all the antibiotics I have taken to eliminate AS symptoms could lead to this complication, so I have taken garlic, colloidal silver, caprylic acid, and oregano oil, but not the conventional anti-fungal drugs like diflucan and a newer even more effective one.

The protocol I developed for myself includes many days of not taking any antibiotic, and after many years now, if I am very strict with my diet, I do not need to take antibiotics at all, but on occasion I eat too much ice cream or rice and the monster begins to flare, then I take the antibiotics and get religion again.

You are welcome to write to me for my protocol (attachments are not accepted by our PM system), and I wish you all the bet--beliving that you are on the right track--in recovering from the AS nightmare,

John
