We use a patented living culture grown for us on an oat base in Sweden. Most gut bacteria are dried and prepared on a milk base. This makes them poorly tolerated by ill patients with lactose sensitivity. These bugs crowd out the baddies and start sealing up the intestine. Doing steps 1 and 2 corrects most Candida we see.
Mercury plays havoc with bacteria because it is so toxic.
Those bugs that can survive mercury poisoning become antibiotic resistant and upset the gut flora. The problem starts with the gut. The gut has to be addressed first. We give a whole range of supplements, essential fatty acids, fruitoligo-saccarrides, many different minerals and vitamins in two stages. We want to seal the intestine to prevent immune system and liver detoxification system overload.
