We're discussing the use of fatty acids to treat Candida overgrowth. Coconut oil and castor oil sub-fractions, like lauric acid, are effective options.
For me, bacteria, SIBO, and fungal overgrowth, especially Candida, are key conditions to test for and treat. Different form of fatty acids can disrupt fungal cell membranes, reduce adhesions and biofilms and block the conversion to the hyphal form of candida reducing symptoms and gut damage.
Currently I favour undecylenic acid-based products like Thorn and microbiome labs. I don't see these as standalone antifungal solutions. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Really appreciate your content re candida and/or fungus. I believe it’s the foundation of much of our health problems these days. 🙏🏻
agreed! great input
I love your videos as always ,informative
Thanks so much! I'm happy they're helpful.
Hey, unfortunately, I don’t live anyhere near Australia, and thus can’t book a consultation with you, so I was wondering if you know any people who do video consultations, or people in Europe whom you think approach things in a similar way as you, and who seems as knowledgeable as you.
Thanks in advance
Super helpful! When do you recommend using fatty acids - on an empty stomach followed by anti fungal herbs? Or herbs first & monolaurin after a meal? Thanks in advance 🙏🙏🙏
do you know much about a condition called Lipedema? I'm trying to understand why LCFA are not digested as well, but maybe the shorter chain are. it seems to also be autoimmune and related to the microbiome and poor digestion. I wondered if you had ever worked with people with it.
PS my salicylate issues seem much better, I can have a little bit of oregano with no skin Reactions now. fingers crossed.

you're too kind!
What about green propólis Dr Byron? I saw same studys about that. Hugs from Portugal
I haven't come across the green variety. Propolis is a pretty potent antifungal
I’m on Monjauro and I know that it’s the sugar and Sugarfree redbull . I’m type 2D. Is it better to buy a coconut and cut it up and eat it in chunks? Is canned coconut milk ok? MCT oil? Should you alternate the acids.
I’m going to be really diligent with not eating sugar/refined carbs and cutting out the Redbull and fake sugars.
I’ve started taking fermented digestive enzymes.im going to buy the undyclic acid and Berberine.
Whats oke for biofilm
Great video as always! What are your thoughts on coconut oil/saturated fats feeding proteobacteria?
ooh great comment! Yes this is a possibility. I've learned not to lean too far into one therapy for risk of causing another issue. This would be a prime example.
I cannot do oregano oil orally due to gastritis. Any success with my rubbing it topically on the belly? I also have gastroparesis so I am now working to kill Candida and SIBO
Should ginger and rhubarb be taken after the meal, before or after the meal? to maximize their properties! Thank you!
I generally dose on an empty stomach if tolerated but it doesn't really matter. However is best tolerated!
Do you also work with people who have issues/problems with the Gut? My gut is stuck, it always storing food and prevents digestion.
yup. that's all we do :-)
Does undecylenic acid also work against multicellular fungi (mold)?
I'm not sure if we have any data on that yet. I would trial it in a patient if we weren't seeing improvements in the standard protocols
I have a candida overgrowth and SIBO. I started a protocol a little over a week ago and started having really bad histamine reactions (breaking out in super itchy hives all over, night sweats, and extremely itchy at night). I started taking histamine digest 3 times a day, and that seems to be helping. I still have a long road ahead of me. Any thoughts about histamine intolerance while dealing with SIBO and Candida? Thank you! Wish I lived closer! I'm in the US
I’ve had candida for 40 years. Horrible candida caused my high histamine start on the carnivore diet. Everything’s getting better thank God.
I started the MCT oil by bullet proof. It irritates my stomach a little bit, but I think it’s the candida die off 💪🏻
God help us!!!!!🙏
hey, could I ask what you are taking for your supplements to treating these two combos? cause I have the same exact thing going on: candida and sibo and am looking to treat both of them together. I wanted to hear your suggestion so that I can buy it myself because my doctors are useless at helping me solve these issues so I need to figure them out myself. Thank you if you read this, I would appreciate any advice.
@@Yeeha494 the best thing that helped me was going carnivore don’t go out and buy a bunch of supplements they turn you into a hypochondriac lol they just don’t work you have to change your diet no junk food I highly recommend going carnivore that’s the only thing that really helped after 40 years
Hi, I've just recently discovered this whole "Candida" thing and I've been living with heavy debilitating amounts of maybe all of the symptoms of Candida for up to 7 or 8 years or so with no real answers or help from physicians. I just like kinda want to like be able to function normally again and I'm pretty sure this is the answer; though I like went out and bought some thing on Amazon to take called dr bo Candi Cleanse. Maybe I went a little extreme, but I started taking it with every meal and since then, I've been feeling really weird, like getting worse headaches and sleeping for 12-16 hours a day for multiple days... Is that evidence of what they call a "die off," with your experience what do you think I should do?
Yes that sounds like die-off to me. Going low and slow is helpful for many of my patients
@@ByronHerbalist thanks for your advice
Hi Byron, do you know how much undecylenic acid is in a teaspoon or twblespoon of organic hexsne free castor oil? Wondering if you can get the same amount by just taking castor oil but theres no info on how much of it is in castor oil
no unfortunately I don't know that. Castor oil is generally contraindicated for internal use unless you know what you're doing.
@@ByronHerbalisthi Byron, yes but is the contraindication for profit to hide a cheaper remedy or legit issue with taking castor oil. I have taken it internally before and didn't have an issue. But theres no way to know if I can get 300 mg of undecylenic by taking a certain amount of castor oil. It could be a small amount or large unreasonable amount. I guess best known thing to do is just take the undecylenic.
Ive had candida glabrata krusei for 7 months. Im in so much pain 😢 its in my vagina. Im loosing my mind. I got it from the hospital 7 months ago. I dont know what to do. Ive been taking all kinds of medications. Nothing works. Im still on boric acid suppositories for 30 days . Nothibg is helping. Im finally am getting a medication called Brexafemme. Have you ever heard of the medicine? Its $650.00 dollars i had to save the money to get it. Please help
Dr.
Could you suggest something for UTI?
It would be very helpfull.
d-mannose works wonders for UTI's 👍🏼
I second the D-Mannose suggestion
Methylene Blue (esp in an IV with photobiomodulation/infared light) works wonders in killing off a UTI.
What things kill fungal but do NOT harm good bacteria as monolaurin does...
I would look into pomegranate husk here
Would nourishing microbiome alone be enough to outplace and eradicate FO from your experience?
Love the question! Nope. I haven't seen this to be enough for most on the fungal front. Strong herbal antifungals are a must for most. Typically it is a 3 month approach and then retest to confirm :-)
@ByronHerbalist thought so ! It's like trying to clean oven grime with feather duster 🫣
Kindly what dose do you do with the undecylenic?? You mentioned high dose, ie 1.5grams/day??
If you get thorne's, the rec dosage on the bottle is quite good. Had great results with it, but you need to start with 1-2 caps first, very minimal because if you feel something you'll feel it very very strongly.
Hi
Candida is very hard to beat, I sometimes give up becouse I cannot feel that pain.
Very true
Do you ever use Pau d arco?
sometimes :-)
Can you list some of the herbs you use for candida other than oil of oregano and Horopito? Thank you
Do you see Candida as a stand-alone driver of MCAS or histamine issues?
Great question. Would love to know as well
In some definitely! I would be suspecting mast cell involvement in most of my fungal overgrowth patients.
A bit ironic that a "herbalist" doesn't realize that the H is silent.
lol we’re not all American my friend. Classic 😂
