Podcasts about diflucan

VVC is second to BV in vaginitis type, here in the USA. data indicate that 75% of women have experienced at least one episode of genital candida throughout their lives . VVC is currently classified as uncomplicated (sporadic infection with mild-to-moderate clinical symptoms in non-immunocompromised women) or complicated (recurrent or clinically severe infection that eventually affects immunocompromised women or is caused by non-Albican species). What is the best course of action for these patients? Topical therapy or oral? Single or multiple dosages? In this episode, we will highlight a new publication from the AJOG which was just released ahead of print that looks at this issue. PLUS, we will revisit a 2001 multicenter study on single Diflucan vs sequential dosing every 3 days. As a little bonus, as the AJOG new publication is Italian, we will have sporadic interludes from ITALIA's best! Listen in for details.

In this episode, Ayesha discussed the FDA approval of Mycovia Pharmaceuticals' Vivjoa (oteseconazole) as the first approved treatment for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) or chronic yeast infection. The drug is indicated for women who permanently lack reproductive potential or are postmenopausal. The editorial team discussed the significant unmet need for this condition and how although many women's health issues are now given greater spotlight, there still need to be more conversations around them. The episode marked World Maternal Mental Health Day and was sponsored by Elligo Health Research.The editorial team also talked about the latest results of Eli Lilly's investigational obesity drug tirzepatide, which demonstrated it could reduce body weight by an average of 20 percent in individuals without diabetes. Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of drugs designed to treat diabetes but at higher doses, can help with weight loss. Hear more about the drug and the obesity drug market, which is projected to grow to $5.42 billion in 2025.Read the full articles here: Oteseconazole (Vivjoa) Becomes First FDA-Approved Drug for Recurrent Yeast InfectionTirzepatide Obesity Drug Shown to Reduce Body Weight by 20 Percent in Eli Lilly TrialFor more life science and medical device content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social MediaTwitter: @Xtalks Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

Find the Memorizing Pharmacology book here: https://adbl.co/3wAZEmN The body system we continue to cover is gastrointestinal and omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole are all proton pump inhibitors PPIs.  TonyPharmD YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/tonypharmd Suffixes -sone, -son- (GI) Because we're working through the seven major body systems starting with gastrointestinal, I'm going to hold off on talking about steroids for asthma and other respiratory conditions, but there are respiratory and inhaled steroids available such as fluticasone, a component in Advair and budesonide which is a component in Symbicort, both longer acting steroids. First, let's talk about the difference between an official stem and a useful drug suffix. An official stem is on the big list I have at memorizingpharm.com/drugsuffix PDF as these 800 or so are the agreed upon stems for medications by the governing bodies that decide such things. However, there are common endings that are still useful like -sone, s-o-n-e and son, s-o-n. For example, you can see -sone at the end of fluticasone and prednisone. However, budesonide (Enterocort) and ciclesonide (Alvesco) have son, s-o-n, as an infix, in the middle of the word. There are very few infixes in common English. So, look for the letters as an ending or in the middle. However, if you look on the big drug suffix list, pred, p-r-e-d is on the list. That's because prednisone is actually the prodrug for prednisolone, p-r-e-d-n-i-s-o-l-o-n-e which has neither sone, s-o-n-e nor son, s-o-n, but we want to show they have a relationship. Officially pred is for prednisone and prednisolone derivatives. Prednisone can be used for a very powerful medicine for an acute flare up, but it's not one that a patient can use long-term without significant side effects, so we'll talk about that and budesonide (Enterocort) is a steroid for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn's disease can throughout the small or large intestine and rectum. Ulcerative colitis (UC) typically is at the end of the GI tract and the colon. The letter “U” which starts “Ulcerative colitis” is almost at the end of the alphabet to help you remember the difference. Since UC is at the end of the GI tract, that's a good candidate for rectal formulations. The reason we use steroids is that they reduce prostaglandin and kinin action, which are important inflammation modulators. Our target therapy length for these conditions might be 4 to 8 weeks. Side Effects In the short term, you will see insomnia and stomach upset. That makes sense, the body releases cortisol when you are stressed putting blood glucose in the blood stream, all of that fight or flight action will keep you awake with too much steroid. That is also an important issue with long term use and the raising of diabetics blood sugar. For example, if there is a diabetic patient with UC we have the problem of needing steroid but raising blood glucose as a side effect. Other notable side effects include increased risk of osteoporosis, affecting the bone strength and immunosuppression. When the immune system is reduced, the chance of infection increases. The liver breaks down budesonide very quickly which is good for a localized condition, it doesn't stay in the body as long. However, prednisone, does not break down as quickly which is good for a condition that might affect the whole body like lupus erythematosus. Interactions Remember we want to try to put our interactions and drugs on the patient chart in the GMRINCE order, GI, musculoskeletal, respiratory, immune, neuro/psych and endocrine. So, when you look at a CYP3A4 inhibitor chart and see dozens of medicines, try to order and group them. Here are some examples: Immune - Antibiotics/Antifungals CYP3A4 inhibition can affect macrolide antibiotics such as azithromycin (Zithromax), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and erythromycin (E-Mycin).  Note their suffix is thromycin, t-h-r-o-m-y-c-i-n vs. just mycin, m-y-c-i-n. While we call azole antifungals, “azole antifungals,” the actual stem is -conazole, c-o-n-a-z-o-l-e. Remember we talked about differentiating fluconazole (Diflucan), ketoconazole (Nizoral), and itraconazole (Sporanox), with proton pump inhibitors esomeprazole and the -prazole ending and the antipsychotics, -piprazole such as aripiprazole. Cardio Verapamil (Calan) is a calcium channel blocker with the pamil, p-a-m-i-l ending. Endocrine We discussed the issue of diabetes and increased blood sugar earlier.    

Find the Memorizing Pharmacology book here: https://adbl.co/3wAZEmN The body system we continue to cover is gastrointestinal and omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole are all proton pump inhibitors PPIs.  TonyPharmD YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/tonypharmd Suffixes Omeprazole (Prilosec) with the -prazole suffix, p-r-a-z-o-l-e suffix is a true proton pump inhibitor, abbreviated PPI. We want to watch out for aripiprazole (Abilify) and brexpiprazole (Rexulti) which are antipsychotics, not PPIs but have the -piprazole ending, p-i-p-r-a-z-o-l-e. Also, some drug cards say the ending is -azole, but that is not an actual suffix, that is a chemical group, using that ending might have you confuse antifungals like fluconazole (Diflucan) for PPIs, so again, the PPI suffix is -prazole. You will notice that omeprazole (Prilosec) and esomeprazole (Nexium) are very similar and it's that omeprazole contains two molecules, a left and right mirror image and esomeprazole only contains the left-handed image. In Latin, left is sinister, so the “es, e-s” represents that only left-handed side. Why does that matter? That left-handed molecule is the active molecule. Mechanism of Action (MOA) PPIs or “prazoles” work by blocking your stomach's parietal cells which normally release hydrogen ions contributing to the stomachs' acidity. This, without the proton pump inhibitor, could lead to heartburn or possible GI ulceration. The proton pump inhibitor blocks the hydrogen/potassium ATPase pump preventing protons from going in the stomach. This raises the pH, making it more basic, and removes the excessive acid. Indications We then use proton pump inhibitors to manage heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Barrett's esophagus. Barrett's esophagus is a condition where the acid reflux damages the esophagus causes it to redden. Many times patients who are on chronic NSAIDs or anticoagulants have a higher GI bleed risk and a proton pump inhibitor is for prophylaxis rather than active treatment. Dosing Traditional dosing is to give the PPI 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. A concern comes when the medication does not seem to work, but it is not the medication, rather, the patient is taking with or even after breakfast. Make sure you know which is which. Also, H2 blockers work a bit more quickly, so the patient might expect a similar timetable with a PPI, let them know that it will take a bit longer. Clinical Considerations Acute use for a few weeks, especially with over-the-counter lengths of time, usually 2 weeks, tends to cause few side effects. Long term, however, we have concerns of B-12 deficiency, increased fracture risk, C. Diff, an opportunistic infection. Again, B-12 deficiency comes because the now less acidic stomach does not do as good a job at absorbing B-12. Before we start this section, here's a reminder contrasting enzyme inhibition and enzyme induction. A drug that inhibits and enzyme blocks the enzyme somewhat increasing drug levels making the patient toxic. A drug that induces and enzyme, makes the enzyme work better reducing drug levels and making the patient subtherapeutic. CYP2C19 inhibition can happen with citalopram (Celexa) and escitalopram (Lexapro), so in this case the antidepressant drug levels can go up leading to QTc prolongation. That's why we have dosing maximums on citalopram of 20 milligrams daily with someone on omeprazole. CYP2C19 induction with omeprazole and clopidogrel (Plavix) is one class example as clopidogrel is a pro-drug and by inducing the enzyme to break down more clopidogrel, the enzyme lowers clopidogrel levels. A pro-drug is one that is not quite the drug yet, the liver may have to metabolize it into a drug. Clopidogrel itself is an antiplatelet drug, so reducing the effectiveness of an antiplatelet drug while trying to prevent myocardial infarction (heart attacks) and strokes.   Note, prescribers can use cilostazol (Pletal) for intermittent claudication, a problem with blood flow in the legs where they might be in pain for short distances and the drug allows them to walk further is also a concern. Using lansoprazole or a similar PPI might create a favorable effect. Some drugs need an acidic environment for absorption like iron supplements and lowering the acidity runs counter to the best situation for iron. Adding ascorbic acid, vitamin C can help. Cefuroxime (Ceftin) is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with good gram-positive coverage, but one might change to another antibiotic if they see omeprazole in the chart. Mesalamine (Pentasa) for ulcerative colitis and itraconazole (Sporanox) and antifungal both both benefit from an acidic stomach.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nikki: My husband has had dry scalp since his teen years and continues to do so into his thirties. He has been treated by conventional doctors for this with antibiotics/steroids with little effect. For the past 11 years it’s only been him who has struggled with this. As of last year, I have started to have dry scalp as well as our children. We try to eat healthy. We do eat out every other month and consume some white flour. We live on a small farm but are surrounded by conventional fields/farmers. Where should I start in healing my family? We recently ran the big five lab tests on my daughter and hope to get the rest of the family tested as well. Thank you! Anonymous: Hello Cabral Team, I am an undergraduate student looking to pursue a naturopathic or functional medicine health career. I have always had a passion for health and wellness, but last summer, through exposure to your podcast and products, I turned my attention towards natural remedies including detoxification, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to address chronic illness rather than through the use of pharmaceuticals. I am very interested in helping others discover this lifestyle and change their lives as I did; however, I am confused about how to pursue this path as many of my professors and advisors at school are unaware of functional medicine and the jobs it includes. Could you talk a little bit about your path in pursuing your degree, how you chose a medical school, any internships, opportunities, or jobs that lead you there and solidified your decision to attend medical school? Is it better to pursue another degree such as nursing or physician's assistant studies and build a job as a holistic practitioner around that or is it recommended to go to naturopathic/functional medical school? Ingrid: Hi Dr. Cabral, We made a video version of this email that I'm including the link to here which is better to see his skin clearly: https://youtu.be/h4PeKh-O0SQ My husband and I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is a very healthy man of 34 who has never had alcohol, smoked cigarettes, has eaten a vegan diet for the last 3 years, and exercises regularly. Both he and I got a lot of mosquito and bug bites in the summer last year. In October, he realized that a small bump (he figured an insect bite) on his arm had not gone away. Thinking then that it was a wart instead, we put a salicylic acid patch on it. This burned a hole in his skin, which turned into a dime-sized open sore, oozing yellow watery liquid. Dermatologists nearby weren't available until January, so we went to the PCP office instead. The nurse practitioner determined it was impetigo (no tests, just visually) and gave him a topical antibiotic (Miuprocin) to put on it for a few days.This made the spot on his arm worse. The sore widened to be a strip of bumpy, oozing skin about 2 inches wide. We went back to the PCP, saw another NP who determined that the antibiotic must not have been strong enough, and prescribed him an oral antibiotic, Bactrim. Within a few days of the treatment with Bactrim his whole body exploded in hives, bumps and rashes. The original area on his forearm did not improve at all. It was very challenging, he couldn't sleep at all due to the itch and was extremely uncomfortable for the next few weeks. Total misery. We finally met the dermatologist in Jan. She said he likely never had a bacterial infection, that the original bump was probably an ingrown hair, but now he had developed severe eczema due to his response to the antibiotics. When asked why this happened, she basically shrugged and said "sometimes a person develops eczema", and informed us that this is now something we need to just "manage" for life. She gave him a tapered dose of oral Prednisone for a few weeks, and advised the use of hydrocortizone and triamcinolone steroid creams for some of the worst areas. This took his symptoms and level of discomfort from 100% to about 20%, but he never got completely better, some areas of the skin like the nipples were still very inflamed, itchy and scaly. After being off the prednisone, some symptoms elsewere re-emerged slightly, and the derm said this was normal after coming off of steroids. For the areas like the nipples that never got better she prescribed Protopic (a non-steroidal immune suppressant). Despite her assurances, this cream has been linked to development of lymphomas and so we never used it. From mid-March to the beginning of April his skin health really took a nose-dive. The sores and rashes came back at full steam and he's as uncomfortable as he was after the antibiotic. We began seeing an Integrative doctor in our area who had him take the OAT and a blood IgE and IgG food sensitivity test. The doc said that according to those tests, he has a number of food sensitivities and an extremely high level of d-Arabinose in his urine, which indicate a Candida overgrowth. She felt this candida overgrowth is the reason for his skin reacting this way after the antibiotic. She has him on Diflucan and Nystatin, as well as Borage Oil, Vitamin C, Quercetin and Nettles, Vitamin D3, Magnesium, Zinc, L-Glutamine, and a B Complex. We have also removed all his trigger foods from the sensitivity test and are following a paired-down anti-Candida diet (basically we've removed fruits and are eating mostly vegetables, some brown rice, mung beans and lots of nuts and seeds). We are now almost at the end of week 4 of the treatment and are concerned that his itch and other symptoms have not significantly improved. He is still incredibly itchy at night and while the scabs of his sores have fallen off, the skin underneath is raw and red and doesn't seem to be healing at a normal pace. Last weekend, some of the spots that we thought were looking somewhat better began oozing clear serum again, but have now dried up again. It's hard to say if his skin is healing, it doesn't look better, it just looks different? My question is, are we pursuing the wrong course here? We really thought the integrative doc had the answer when she said he had a candida overgrowth. But even she seems surprised at the lack of progress. We are feeling like no one really has a handle on what is actually happening to him.Thank you,Ingrid Cherie: Hello. A few questions. Can you have cheat meals on the CBO protocol, and if so, when can they begin? I am asking because foods are slowly re-introduced and I did not know if a cheat meal with foods not on the Gut guide list would negate all the benefits. Also can you have CBD oil on the protocol? And lastly, when should I take vitamin c and zinc during the protocol? Can I take them with the CBO pills? Cassandra: Hi Dr Cabral  I've completed the CBO protocol and stuck to it 100% however I've ran an organic acid test and have high bacterial and yest markers. I'm confused why you approve of legumes and beans on the CBO when they are high in fructans and they feed yest and bacteria. I understand they are easy to digest foods but still all naturopaths I have spoken to say to stay clear of them. I'm really disappointed that I'm going to need to do another round. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Many thanks Yvonne: I am just listening to your podcast with Dr Gerry Curatola and think I probably have several issues related to what you're talking about - teeth removed, root canals and mercury fillings and have health issues.  My concern is that the detailed information about what is required to return health sounds extremely expensive and only available for the rich. I live in Canada and am on a retirement budget so I either wouldn't have the funds required or if I did I would then be destitute.  So does that mean for someone on a retirement budget good health will not be available? Ashlee: Hi Dr Cabral. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for almost a year and would love some guidance. We have completed the 21 Day detox, have both been doing the daily protocol level 2 for 5 months and I have been taking the prenatal package as well. We both just competed the Big 5 labs and are now doing the heavy metal protocol and will do the parasite cleanse and CBO by the time you read this. I am also seed cycling and we are taking vitamin d, adrenal soothe, cal-mag, zinc, DHEA, digestive enzymes and vitamin c as recommended by our health coach. Most of these were recommend for up to 12 weeks. We eat organic as best we can and follow a similar diet to the DCD with the inclusion of carbs. We have also detoxed the house from everything we have control over too. We are hoping that by the time you read this I will be pregnant but if not I am asking where can we go from here? We want to have a natural birth and feel like we have done everything possible to help the process. Is there anything else we can do? Or what do you suggest our next step be? Thank you so much in advance for your response and we appreciate you taking the time to help us. Ashlee. Judy: Help! I am breaking out in random hives for over 2 weeks. I thought maybe it was something I ate but when I eliminated certain things from my diet, it is still happening. I get tingly itchiness and anything that rubs against my body, I get welts on my skin. I am not sure if it is a delayed response to food or some other allergen.I have been highly stressed for over 6 months. I am taking 2 capsules of adrenal soothe every night and I plan to take your TAH test again next month. I have also experienced eye floaters recently and my acupuncturist says I have a chi and blood deficiency (my last cycle ran for 25 days which isn’t normal for me). Also my tongue swells and my skin is tender to touch when I have cheat meals which sadly are happening more than Once a week. What can I do to get well again? My friend recently took the MRT food sensitivity test and it has a lot more foods on it than the one you are currently using. I prefer to go with your coaches and health plan but I wonder what your thoughts are on a more comprehensive list of foods from this competitor’s test. Sorry for the long questions but I did want to say that although I am dealing with these issues, I have come so far in my health journey based on your recommendations and health coaches and look forward to continued improvement.

Constant sugar cravings could mean your biochemistry is out of whack. In fact, if you consistently crave bread, sugar, fruits, dairy or alcohol like beer and sugary white wine your body may be an unwitting host to an overgrowth of yeast. If your food cravings are driven by an overgrowth of yeast living in your intestines, those food cravings are not your own! The yeast actually begins to drive your appetite in order go have sugar as its most precious and important source.  And, that\'s not all - yeast in overgrowth mode can detox up to 180 different chemicals into your body capable of making you feel dizzy and fatigued, shutting down your thyroid, throwing your hormones off balance, and causing you to crave sugar and alcohol and put on weight. You may be new to this information and even the recognition that you\'re food cravings are not your own but Candidiasis (yeast overgrowth) is nothing new; it’s been around for decades, ever since we began to use antibiotics in our society. Yeast itself, a cousin to molds, has grown in human bodies since Adam and Eve. Candida albicans is the main yeast in the human body. It lives there happily enough, kept in check by beneficial bacteria in the intestines. These bacteria make vitamins and help digest excess sugar that gets past the small intestine. A very special group of bacteria make lactic acid, which protects the gut and vagina against yeast. Getting Relief Unfortunately, the answer for yeast overgrowth does not lie in a pill as many women have found out when they go to their doctor. Even if the doctor does recognize yeast overgrowth the most common treatment recommended is a week or two or antifungal medications. As one client, who is a chemist remarked to me that she is very concerned about taking fluoride compounds like Diflucan, the most well known antifungal medication. Doctors who are too dependent on prescriptive medicine don’t understand that yeast overgrowth requires a multi-pronged approach. Diet: avoid sugar, wheat and dairy as well as fermented foods, and alcohol. Probiotics (good bacteria): the best one is a soil-based probiotic such as Flora ReVive. Exercise to move the lymph circulation that clears toxins from the body. Stress release to reduce the amount of natural cortisol that creates yeast overgrowth.

We have a special Holiday Episode with very special guest Steph (@stephhlitee). This week we discuss your cousin that thinks salt is spicy, how to keep the vagine Ph balance aligned, and Drake's impact on the light skin community. Listen to find out more ;) P.S. @lostinthetrill, you won a sweatshirt! :)

Do you suffer from recurrent and annoying yeast infections? Well, then this is the episode for you. It goes beyond Diflucan or Monistat and even most likely more than wjhat your GYN has ever told you about!   Show notes: http://www.margaretromero.com/episode97  

The gastrointestinal (GI) system is made up of the GI tract plus accessory organs that include salivary glands, pancreas, liver, digestive enzymes and gallbladder. The function of the GI system is to process nutrients and energy from food and fluids that you ingest. In people with GI problems, these functions are impaired. GI conditions include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gluten intolerance and SIBO. While many of these conditions have gotten the full attention of mainstream medicine there is a hidden factor in many of their diagnosis that is either unrecognized or dismissed - leaving its victims unable to resolve their digestive conflicts. On tonight's radio show we speak with Dr. Carolyn Dean about Candida albicans, the hidden factor in many of these conditions, and we review how to identify its influences and how to dismiss its dominance in your digestive system. How Candidiasis is Developed Candida is one of the 400 organisms that live in our mouth, digestive tract, vagina and on our skin. Most of the time they all get along with their neighbors. When you begin taking antibiotics, the whole delicate balance is lost. Antibiotics wipe out most of the good and the bad bacteria leaving yeast unharmed. In the absence of any competition, yeast colonies grow into all the empty nooks and crannies of the large intestine and even the small intestine. Sugar from our diet feeds yeast and with the special lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria wiped out, there is no more production of lactic acid to protect the delicate intestinal and vaginal tissues from marauding yeast. The beast, Candida albicans, growing wildly inside our bodies is an epidemic out of control. Most people, if they think of it at all, imagine yeast as just a pesky vaginal infection that a treatment of vaginal cream will cure overnight. Unfortunately, that's just not the case for millions of people, especially women who suffer an astonishing array of health complaints from yeast overgrowth, yeast allergy, and a build-up of yeast toxins. Small Intestine Bowel Overgrowth (SIBO) In the last decade, the incredible onslaught of every type of food sensitivity and digestive disorder has caused researchers to dive deep into the gut to study the microbiome and determine what in the heck is going on! And, with every little bit of new information, a new disease emerges complete with its own insurance code and treatment plan! As part of the discussion of the bacterial microbiome, a new “dis-ease” has been created called SIBO. There are SIBO websites, SIBO Symposia, SIBO books, and unfortunately SIBO blind spots – because they overlook Yeast Overgrowth Syndrome. As far as Dr. Dean can tell, defining SIBO as an entity came out of the group that formed around the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). Dr. Dean learned about the SCD in my naturopathic training in the late 1970’s from Elaine Gottschall, who had “cured” her daughter of ulcerative colitis with The Specific Carbohydrate that she was prescribed by Dr. Sidney Valentine Haas. Dr. Haas had success with a grain-free, sugar-free, starch-free diet for celiacs and IBD (irritable bowel disease) patients in the 1950s. Elaine Gottschall was so grateful and intrigued that she began studying the diet – gut connection. Her Masters thesis focused on the effects of various sugars on the digestive tract at the cellular level. She wrote Breaking the Vicious Cycle, Intestinal Health Through Diet, which brought the diet into prominence. The premise of The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is to keep simple sugars away from the feeding bacteria in the gut, which can then overgrow. Dr. Haas believed that bacterial overgrowth could disrupt enzymes that normally attach to the intestinal cell surface and prevent proper digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. We do know that a severe bout of diarrhea can impair disaccharide enzymes, which break down sucrose, lactose, and starch leaving them undigested and fodder for bacteria and yeast. Dr. Haas know that bacterial toxins and acids could injure the lining of the small intestine. Excessive mucus could be produced as a defense mechanism against the irritation caused by toxins, acids, and undigested carbohydrates and lead to the condition called mucous colitis, now called IBS. The above explanation makes sense but the problem is that the emphasis has always been on bacteria and now SIBO is called bacterial overgrowth not both bacterial and yeast overgrowth. Because SIBO is a bacterial diagnosis, doctors both MD’s and ND’s recommend antibiotic therapy for it, which of course will cause more yeast overgrowth. And SIBO treatment will not include natural antifungals. Leaky Gut: An Open Door To Our Tissues It is a scientific fact that when yeast cells reach a certain critical mass they change from a round budding stage to a thread-like tissue invasive stage. They are simply running out of food and looking for more. They pack their bags and emigrate from their main home in the large intestine into the small intestine. In the small intestine, the yeast threads poke holes in the intestinal lining. With this superhighway to the bloodstream, there is nothing to stop yeast chemical by-products (all 180 of them), undigested food molecules, bacterial toxins, and other chemicals from taking a one-way ride. The holes are not necessarily big enough to allow yeast to get into the bloodstream, so there is no blood infection of yeast, just hundreds of waste products that should be flushed down the toilet that ends up causing head-to-toe symptoms to leak into the blood. Yes, leaky gut happens when toxins leak into the bloodstream and tissues of the body. When these toxins hit the bloodstream they trigger widespread inflammatory and allergy reactions. Many of the toxins like aldehyde, alcohol, zymosan, arabinitol, and gliotoxin have been named. They impair the immune system and the central nervous system. Others block thyroid function, impair female hormones and cause symptoms of PMS and aggravate menopause but haven't yet been properly studied. Inflammation is being investigated as the underlying cause of heart disease, bowel disease, arthritic conditions, and autoimmune disease. It is also intimately involved with weight gain, fatigue, allergies, asthma, headaches, irritability, and dozens of other health complaints. GERD - A Customer's Testimony For decades I suffered from severe bouts of acid reflux and heartburn [GERD] several times each week. Recently, I starting taking ReMag for an unrelated ailment.  To my pleasant surprise the supplemental magnesium not only cured the ailment for which I was taking it, it also completely stopped my episodes of acid reflux and heartburn. I have since learned that acid reflux is caused by stomach spasms which cause acid (which healthy stomachs are designed by nature to tolerate and utilize) to be ejected into the esophagus which is not designed to be exposed to stomach acid and burns when it is so exposed. Magnesium is a natural relaxant -- as well as a natural antacid -- and, therefore, it helps prevent the stomach spasms which are the root cause of acid reflux and accompanying heartburn. What's the Solution? Unfortunately, the answer does not lie in a pill as many women have found out when they go to their doctor. Even if the doctor does recognize yeast overgrowth the most common treatment recommended is a week or two or antifungal medications. As one client, who is a chemist remarked to me that she is very concerned about taking fluoride compounds like Diflucan, the most well known antifungal medication. Doctors who are too dependent on prescriptive medicine don't understand that yeast overgrowth requires a multi-pronged approach. But, Dr. Carolyn Dean DOES know that it's through magnesium and mineral supplementation as well as diet and lifestyle change that people can overcome yeast overgrowth. Tonight on our internet based radio show, we'll be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about Leaky Gut, SIBO and GERD - Recognizing the Hidden Factor along with a wide range of health topics and safe solutions. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the 'conflict' in the 'conflict basis' of disease and much more!!

Evanbrand.com   Gut Issues  http://learntruehealth.com/gut-issues/ A lot of people suffer from gut issues. But most of them mistake the symptoms of gut issues for some other disease, so they end up not addressing the cause.  Evan Brand is a fellow podcaster who has gone down that road, so I’m excited that he’s sharing his insights on how to solve gut issues.  Growing Up Years Evan Brand is a survivor of several health conditions. Growing up, he had to deal with things like parasite infections, SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), H pylori, candida overgrowth, adrenal fatigue and many other health conditions. He also battled with depression, anxiety, fatigue and IBS for so many years. Initially, he consulted with conventional doctors, but nobody gave him a long-term solution.  This led him to research and go the alternative medicine route. Dangers of EMF During Evan Brand’s research, he found that electromagnetic fields or EMF are a factor in causing leaky gut. He believes that if EMF can affect hormones, it can also affect the gut area. Evan Brand shares that in one of his past episodes, he had GE’s former senior scientist Dr. Richard Hansler on the show. Dr. Richard Hansler thoroughly explained that the modern light bulb is harmful because it negatively affects our melatonin production. Hence, we end up having a hard time to sleep. Because of that, Dr. Richard Hansler founded Lighting Lighting Innovations Institute. He also co-founded Low Blue Lights, which sells advanced lighting products.  Dangers Of 5G Evan Brand also shares that another past guest, Dr. Jack Kruse was instrumental in influencing him to move out of the city to try to get away from cellphone towers. Dr. Jack Kruse is a known neurosurgeon in the industry. “They say 5G is a nightmare. Just because of the small cells. The 5G is the new generation of cell phone technology so that we can transmit and have a million people download YouTube videos all in a second from their smartphones,” Evan Brand explains.  He adds, “There’s going to be these small cells the size of a watermelon. A giant router that transmits cellular data but they’re going to be on every three to four houses. So your risk of wireless pollution is going to go up so much.” Optimized Life Dr. Jack Kruse is also the CEO of Optimized Life. Optimized Life is a health and wellness company aiming to help people avoid the healthcare burdens we usually encounter as we grow older.  Dr. Jack Kruse currently in practices in the Gulf South. “We just saw the first study tested on rats last March 22, that proved cellphone tower radiation can cause cancer,” said Evan Brand. “The Ramazzini Institute Study: Animal Study On Base Station/Cell Tower Radiofrequency Radiation. Dr. Kruse told me this six years ago, and now it is finally coming out that it is true.” I also heard of so many studies coming out detailing the dangers of 5G. The findings state that 5G causes dangerous health conditions like migraines and brain tumors. “The rollout of these technologies is going to happen at a much slower rate if you are in a rural area. Because the population is low and there is less need for a million 5G towers out here,” Evan Brand explained. “EMF is the new smoking. You can’t see it or smoke it, but it’s there.” Evan Brand says plans are already in place to erect those towers in Austin, Texas, Seattle, Washington, Miami, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, New York, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles either this year or next year. Unfortunately, we can’t stop those plans so Evan Brand advises the need to be aware of protecting our health in the best way we can. Dealing With Candida Candida is a pathogenic yeast that can cause gut issues and symptoms like joint pains, fatigue, and gas. Evan Brand was able to talk with Nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, whose interview about candida will be featured at the upcoming Candida Summit this July.  “I had many different species of bacterial infection and dealt with candida overgrowth. My gut was a mess,” said Evan Brand. “I also had bad acne. It wasn’t a deficiency of pharmaceuticals. Plus, they are giving away antibiotics now like candy for acne. To think antibiotics cause DNA damage and other issues.” Parasite Issues Evan Brand recalls that when he was in college, he always needed to check where the nearest bathroom was. After several consultations with the doctor, he found out that he was dealing with a couple of parasites—giardia and cryptosporidium. Giardia is a parasite that is commonly known to cause diarrhea called giardiasis. It is regarded as a water-borne parasite. Cryptosporidium is also a water-borne parasite that causes cryptosporidiosis. It affects the small intestine and can affect the respiratory tract. “Even if you do get a referral to a gastroenterologist, they are using a type of testing that is 20 years old. You’re going to get a false negative; then doctors send you to a psychiatrist. But through functional testing, you can find it,” said Evan Brand. Evan Brand did functional testing, and it showed all the gut bugs. So with some help from his friends and colleagues, he created an herbal protocol. Six weeks later, Evan Brand was no longer rapidly losing weight, and his depression and anxiety disappeared. A lot of people either shrug off depression and anxiety, or they fail to recognize it. You’d be surprised how it is linked to a lot of other health conditions.  Like my past guestJohann Hari explained, depression and anxiety can be very destabilizing. Link Between Diet And Gut Evan Brand shares that he had his first panic attack when he had gut bugs. Initially, he thought he had a heart attack. Apparently, the bugs were releasing several endotoxins into the bloodstream, so Evan Brand had to work on his liver through a nutrient-dense diet. But Evan Brand was quick to clarify that just because you’ve fixed your diet, doesn’t mean the parasites will disappear. He advises that it is still best to get tested to get an accurate assessment of your health condition. “Gut issues are the biggest puzzle piece. Nutrition is a big piece, but I did all the diets. I pulled out gluten, dairy, grain. But you’re not going to eradicate gut bugs just by going on a gluten-free diet,” said Evan Brand. He adds, “Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt said, if you don’t address the gut issues or these infections, viruses, parasites or EMF, dieting alone can’t solve the problem.”  Aura Roots Aura Roots uses organic herbs for their products. Evan Brand says that they have a modest line of herbal antibiotics and herbal anti-parasitic, but they can also do custom formulations. Evan Brand says one of the products that he uses a lot is called Microbiome Support 1, 2 and 3. I believe Evan Brand’s product line can give a lot of health benefits just like my past guest, Catharine Arnston who is the founder of ENERGYbits. I am satisfied with her chlorella product because just like Aura Roots, it is made organically grown and non-GMO. SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) Evan Brand cites a 2013 study where they found out the use of proton-pump inhibitors is a factor for bacterial and fungal overgrowth. It is also linked to gastrointestinal symptoms. Proton-pump inhibitors are drugs that supposedly reduce stomach acid production. “CDC is now admitting that we have a massive antibiotic resistant problem. We also have an anti-fungal resistant problem. That is why Diflucan doesn’t work,” said Evan Brand. “CDC has a special program called emerging infections program. They can’t keep up because bacteria and fungi are changing and modifying.” Evan Brand, therefore, advises people to increase their vitamin C dosage to be able to poop twice a day and make sure our lymphatic system is working fine. We have to shift our focus on adrenal, gallbladder and detox support. Heavy Metals Toxicity Evan Brand says he saw heavy metal symptoms when he was working on improving his gut health. Initially, he noticed things did get a little crazy like pent-up anxiety. But once the gut work was done, Evan Brand eventually found this new sense of calm. I have heard the benefits of taking carbon supplements, but just like me, Evan Brand also goes to the sauna regularly to sweat out the heavy metal toxins from the body. The duration in the sauna is different for everyone, but according to my past guest Connie Zack, the owner of Sunlighten Sauna, it is best to listen to your body. As for Evan Brand, he usually stays in the sauna for 20 minutes at 125 degrees. Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt says that we usually sweat out heavy metals during the first five minutes in the sauna.  But if you are like Evan Brand who doesn’t sweat out quickly, you may try exercising first or taking an Epson salt bath or elevating your legs while lying down. You may also want to take an adrenal core test to figure out why it takes time for you to sweat. Evan Brand says he still has to figure out how he can sweat easily so basically, being in tip-top shape entails constant learning and research. “Don’t give up. We got a lot that we’re up against. I understand how people want to shut down. Wherever you are at in your journey, there is something you can do,” said Evan Brand.  Bio Evan Brand is an Author, Podcast Host and a Louisville, Kentucky-based Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Nutritional Therapist. He is passionate about healing the chronic fatigue, obesity, and depression epidemics after solving his own IBS and depression issues.
