I have had experiences in and experiments in order to destroy my brain fog and other candida albicans symptoms.
Nystatin made them pretty much worse, and there I tried using Molybdenum.
Molybdenum plays a role in protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism.
It metabolizes acetaldehyde, the alcohol by-product responsible for hangovers and a lot of 'brain fog' type symptoms.
It eliminates the headaches associated with it very quickly.
I have read an article mention that candida albicans is normal and causes no problem if you treat it well.
The problems are created when you consume industrialized or chemically processed foods and (of course) modern drugs.
That is why we should have molybdenum for its other use: cleansing the garbage from antibiotic wars in our body.
For me, it has been working wonders.
I follow the doctor's combination with molybdenum on and find that it has really changed my days.
I am pretty much 'active' all day with no down times now.
Through trial and error, it is helping me tremendously with energy.
It also helps a lot if I happen to be having a reaction after eating something I should not have eaten.
It has been a fairly recent addition to my "arsenal".
Are you still eating wheat products? They can be a factor with the pain, especially with arthritis.
Or it could simply be where you are feeling your die-off.
I felt mine in the back.
I am also a firm believer in a good probiotic.
A lot of us used Primal Defense, but there are many alternatives out there.
The beginning of this battle with candida albicans is very hard.
Hang in there, slowly but surely you will see small differences and improvements along the way.
