James Sloane - - Some Candida Is Normal
Have another one from Markus' videos, this one on Candida, where this guy is claiming I am "giving veryyyy bad tips on candida", His argument is that I am wrong about the bogus claims of using enzyme to eradicate Candida. I have been explaining why this does not work for decades, and have already tried to explain it to this guy a couple of times. His latest response was "@Hveragerthi i can see this will go on for ever - what the guy on this video is bringing up is a supplement that fights candida with 2 enzymes prote{a}se and a cellu{l}ase enzyme product that has been super successful please look it up and what actions it performs on candida unwanted fibre , protein , fibrin ect, is very unwanted if you suffer from candida most of that fibre ferments and since you don't have the right flora especially in your colon it will feed the bad bacteria that creates worse problems". Funny thing is he still has not figured out that the "guy" he is referring to in the video is me, and that I am not supporting the use of enzymes for Candida in the video since this method simply does not work.
Here was my response to his last post:
" @johngilley You apparently did not pay attention to what I said in my last post. Enzymes are proteins and they can be digested just like any other proteins. Therefore, most of these enzymes never even survive the stomach to reach the Candida that mainly resides in the colon.
I have been aware of the enzymes to treat candidiasis claims for many years and have done a video on why this is nonsense and have written on in many times over the last couple of decades. Enzyme therapy does not work for candidiasis for a variety of reasons.
For one, they are no{t} likely to even reach the colon intact as I pointed out.
Secondly, is the growth and form of Candida albicans is pH dependent. In a normal acidic environment, the Candida growth gene is turned off and the Candida is kept in a benign and even beneficial yeast form. If the pH of the terrain is shifted to the alkaline side, then the Candida growth gene is turned on, and the Candida morphs in to its fungal form where it develops hyphae that allow the Candida to dig in to tissues causing damage and inflammation.
So what causes this abnormal alkaline pH? A lack of beneficial, acid producing flora. And what is the primary food source {of} these flora that … break down and ferment to feed and produce these acids? FIBERS. Therefore, fibers are not unwanted, they are essential to health and controlling Candida.
When people take the enzymes cellulase and hemicellulase, what they are doing is pre-digesting the fibers that would normally feed the flora. So we end up raising blood sugar through the glucose formed from the pre-digestion of the fibers, which can feed the Candida, while starving the flora raising the pH that increases Candida growth and makes the Candida pathogenic.
Furthermore, if the pH of the terrain is not corrected back to the normal acidic pH then the Candida growth gene remains on and the Candida continues to flourish in its pathogenic fungal form.
Also keep in mind that Candida is a normal and beneficial part of our flora in its benign yeast state. Therefore, even if the enzymes could reach the colon intact, this still would never totally eradicate the Candida, and even one surviving Candida cell can reproduce leading to candidiasis as the pH of the terrain remains conducive to Candida growth in its fungal form.
As we can see, the whole using enzymes to combat Candida is highly flawed and doomed to failure. To get Candida back under control involves restoring the gut flora, which requires the fibers that you are calling "unwanted"
Speaking of which, you say "unwanted fibre , protein , fibrin ect, is very unwanted if you suffer from candida most of that fibre ferments". You clearly have no understanding of human physiology. Again, the fibers are necessary for the gut flora, and the fibers do not ferment. Fibers are very long chain polysaccharides that cannot be fermented. Our flora produce their own cellulase and hemicellulase that break these fibers down in to individual glucose units that actually get fermented to form these beneficial acids.
This also brings up the point of since the flora produce cellulase and hemicellulase, then why isn't this digesting the Candida? So, if these enzymes being produced by the flora cannot digest the Candida in the gut, then what makes you think that these same enzymes orally ingested will do the trick even if they could reach the colon intact?
In addition, ingested proteins should be primarily broken down in to amino acids by enzymes, and most the amino acids absorbed. These amino acids are essential for a lot of things in the body including the formation of every living cell within the body including the flora cells.
Not sure why you brought up fibrin. Do you even know what fibrin is? It is a protein that helps form blood clots and scar tissue. Therefore, if you fibrin in your gut then this means you have a bleed going in the gut or scar tissue in the lower gut.
As for your comment "and since you don't have the right flora especially in your colon it will feed the bad bacteria that creates worse problems", again you need to understand physiology. The good gut flora produce acids, bactericides and peroxides that help control the bad bacteria in the gut. In addition, the good bacteria compete for food and space with the bad bacteria further controlling their growth. One of the main things we need to keep the good gut flora healthy and functioning properly to control the bad bacteria and Candida are the fibers you are calling "unwanted"."
