I think that there is a key molecular switch that we are missing as it relates to mold activation and diet. Other message boards contain heart-rending stories of how folks can't cope unless they eat a pure meat diet. I know that meat and green vegetables can keep most symptoms at bay, but then old Sid Guatama wouldn't be too pleased with that option. So I went totally vegan with rice cooked with antifungal spices and beans and green vegetables and did just as well on what was pretty much nothing but starch until some factor caused the symptoms to flare. It might even by a symbiotic reaction within the biofilm that mold just happens to be a part of. There was a mind-blowing post on another site that said that candida doesn't even eat sugar or starch but its preferred food is fat! For those who have malabsorption and weight loss, this might be something to consider along with the transport of fat and fat soluble vitamins in the lymph. I will begin this topic here and try to emphasize this in every post: When I was studying Lyme disease and the Recurrent Fever associated with rickettsia organisms that can show up in 5-year cycles it revealed itself that no matter what we did on the 'surface' to knock down an infection, that if there are sequestered populations in the lymph completely walled off from the immune response, that they will simply migrate from those locations to the areas opened up (like a cleansed intestine) like bands of wolves migrating to new territory. Whatever program for keeping the overgrowth at bay, it needs to be maintained at nearly a constant level unless the body needs a break. When we consider Lyme and the use of antibiotics that simply change them from a cell-walled structure to an L-form that is as insidious as a mycoplasm, then the use of antifungals can be extrapolated as possibly doing the same, thus driving them deeper into the tissue and rendering them untouchable by any currently known methods. I have grave concerns over the new class of digestive enzymes with exotic components that may serve to do nothing but what I just outlined.

I have tried so many things with limited to no results I don't even have a log of what worked or didn't work, but it was clear that when I focused on the damaged Blood Brain Barrier with emphasis on flavonoids from high quality phosphorylated B vitamins and the Vitamin C family that things including sensitivity to EMF improved over time.

Hi Maff, You have opened yet another of one of the most important topics regarding MCS and the resolution of disease. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the yeast of bread and beer. There is another beer yeast but it is the cold-filtered kind and supposedly has not been modified too much. I replied on a post regarding the use of Inulin and stated that the substances for bacteriophages to replicate without the use of bacteria include: hydrolyzed milk protein (casein); B-vitamins; and YEAST EXTRACT. The reason this is significant is that in the 1980s about the time that The Yeast Connection was about to come out, they were vaccinating gay men in trials with an experimental Hepatitis B vaccine that was developed from GMO yeast that produced the Hepatitis B Surface Antigen. HBSAg is a self-assembling molecule. This should raise the flags for those with Morgellons. Bread and Beer yeast is in nearly every prepared food. Make a list of labels that DON'T have Yeast Extract in them because the list will be shorter. This organism has been modified for the past 30 years. Of course S. cerevisiae is not Candida albicans but does it matter? Microbes exchange genes like teenage girls trade clothes. That is just in Nature. What no one is talking about is what is being purposely done in the lab. This is why we can't get a foothold against organisms that seem to mutate as freely as the Borg change their shield frequencies. All this to get to the point: The idea of a vaccine for candida is obscene in the extreme! Vaccines were the root cause of the candida pathogenesis and now they want to inflict another vaccine? Insanity. Candida has morphed from a ubiquitous, innocuous dimorphic fungus to a flesh-eating monster in about a generation. Sure, mycophages can provoke pathogenicity and toxigenicity in fungus just as bacteriophages do in bacteria, but we are talking about something that is unprecedented in what I have studied as the history of the Natural world. Given what is being promoted out of Japan as therapy for intractable yeast infections it appears that there are molecular switches that were engineered into these lab-created monsters so we are looking into finding out how to reverse the damage with simple means.
