6 Antifungals that help you knock out and keep out Candida (🧵1/10): #1 Lactoferrin Lactoferrin is a protein found in milk (especially raw milk and colostrum) with various protective benefits for the gut. It helps chelate IRON which is important for all pathogens to grow, including fungi like Candida.

Lactoferrin is an important anti-Candida agent. Recent review - lactoferrin forms: ◈ Consistently reduce planktonic Candida growth ◈ Has anti-hyphal / antibiofilm properties ◈ Reduces colonization in animal models ◈ Reduces fungal infection in infants

@Outdoctrination Lactoferrin is amazing! If you drink a liter of raw milk thats almost 200mg of lactoferrin. The heat from pasteurization denatures it: biohackingblog.net/p/why-i-drink-…

@Outdoctrination My profound autistic boys are totally dairy free, so is there any way to supplement lactoferrin?

@Outdoctrination I escaped from Sibo all by myself with S boulardii.

Very good list. It would be useful to add that those molecules have anticancer properties as well. Take any molecule, synthetic or natural, that has antitumoral properties... you'll see that it shows antifungal properties too. And vice-versa. It seems like a strange "biological Janus". Chance ? Nature's sense of humor ? Or a deeper link between cancer and fungal cells ? If you are interested by such link, you should read the book of Mark Lintern ("Cell suppression"). Remarkable work. Last but not least : the idea of some links between micro organisms and cancer is not new (since the end of 19th century). What is certainly new is our awareness of the world of fungi, and their amazing powers (positive and negative).
