Enzymes For Yeast Infection and Candida, Why Can They Be So Beneficial?Because the cell wall of candida is composed of fiber and glycoproteins, enzymes for yeast can be very helpful during yeast infection treatment. They actually eat through the cell wall of the candida, killing it, without it releasing toxins and producing a die-off reaction.
Candida has a cell wall composed of mannoprotein-1, glucan, chitin, mannoprotein-2 and plasma membrane. Although mannoprotein sounds like a protein it is actually a plant polysaccharide. The plasma membrane however is a protein and the nucleus of the yeast cell is also a protein of animal origin. These very same materials make up the outside of plants and allow them to stand upright. Knowing that the cell wall of candida yeast is made up of plant fiber with underlying animal proteins including an animal nucleus, a properly designed enzyme formula should contain the necessary enzymes to digest these parts. There are many enzymes for yeast formulas on the market today but I only want to take a look at the three most popular. They are: The first two enzyme formulas contain cellulase, hemicellulase, amylase, invertase and glycoamylase. YST Management has added disastase, a starch eating enzyme and the amount of enzymes for yeast in Candex and YST Management are very close to the same. A clinical study of Candex for yeast infection treatment on 52 patients who were diagnosed with candida were given Candex for approximately three months. They were also given a probiotic supplement (to boost the population of friendly bacteria) and were placed on a low-carbohydrate diet. All patients experienced a marked improvement in both upper and lower gastro-intestinal symptoms, like abdominal pain and bloating, as well as noticing improvements in other symptoms such as skin rashes and allergies. Dr. Craig Butler of the Progressive Medical Group, in Atlanta, Georgia, who monitored the study, says that many more patients have now benefited from the new supplement. He said; "We have placed numerous patients on Candex with the same results", It was concluded that Candex is an extremely effective natural alternative for anti-fungal therapy, which is well tolerated and does not cause any adverse side effects. Results were also verified by giving each patient a before and after Comprehensive Diagnostic Stool Analysis (CDSA) for pH abnormalities, positive candida culture and significant microscopic visualization of yeast mycelium in the stool. They were also given a before and after Bioterrain Analysis (BTA) test, which revealed fungi and increased physiologic stress on the adrenals, kidneys and the gastrointestinal tract. All 52 patients showed improvement with both tests proving Candex does indeed work. Laboratory studies have shown that Candex inhibits the growth of candida albicans in vitro. A similar study is now being undertaken by the National Candida Society in Britain. Study Results from Candex. Progressive Medical Group, 4646 North Shallowford Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30338. August 8, 2002 Although the above clinical study was only run on Candex and not YST Management or Syntol, because they have the same enzyme profiles there is no doubt that they will work just as well as Candex with the exception of Syntol, which works better. Candex costs $30.49 for 120 capsules, a 30 day supply. YST Management costs $27.99 for 240 capsules, a 60 day supply. The adult dose is two capsules of Candex or YST Management in the morning, an hour before breakfast, and two at bedtime, at least two hours after eating (always take with eight ounces of water) and normally produces profound improvement in 7 to 30 days. The time needed for maximum benefit, however, varies, because we each have: The longer you have had a yeast problem, the longer you will likely need to use these enzymes for yeast infections. For a really powerful yeast killing effect I would combine Candex or YST Management with either CP-1 or the 11-Strain powder like they did in the clinical study. Syntol enzymes for yeast is different from Candex and YST Management because it also has the protease enzyme that will eat the plasma membrane and the nucleus of the yeast cell after the plant enzymes break through the cell wall. The serrapeptase enzymes go into the blood stream and clean the blood of dead tissue, blood clots, plaque, cysts, fibrin and other unwanted microbes. Syntol also contains good bacteria designed to kill yeast and bad bacteria making it heads and shoulders above Candex and YST Management for treating yeast infections. You can learn more about Syntol on this webpage. Yeast and candida have no resistance to these enzymes for yeast just like they have no resistance to bacteria. They also cannot build a resistance to them like they can do with herbs and prescription medications like Diflucan. They have no risk to your health and do not cause the candida to mutate, which Diflucan has been proven to do. Diflucan can cause yeast and candida to shape shift and become a resistant strain like candida glabrata. Candida glabrata is highly resistant to Diflucan and is very hard to get rid of. Many times when using enzymes for yeast, a change in diet is not needed if the yeast infection is mild. However, it makes sense to not feed the yeast when you are trying to get rid of it. Why give it something to fight back with? It just doesn't make sense does it? While die-off reactions do not occur with these enzymes for yeast infection, a few people may experience nausea, a “burning sensation” in the stomach, or abdominal cramping. This is because the enzymes may aggravate pre-existing disturbances in the GI tract. If this occurs, I suggest using one third of a capsule, twice daily, emptied into eight ounces of warm water, and building up from there. To avoid this problem to start with take one capsule your first day, two your second day, and so on, until you reach the full, four capsule per day regimen. These enzymes for yeast infection are safe for children and the recommended dose is one-half capsule, twice daily, for each 40 pounds of body weight. For ages 14 and up, adult recommendations may be followed.
