Good antifungals?

[Outdoctrination]

I am planning on doing penicillin vk for some gut issues, and have heard taking an antifungal alongside it will prevent a fungal overgrowth in the process.

1. is this true?
2. what are some good antifungals i could use? doses?

 

[Rinse & rePeat]

Coconut oil, manuka honey, raw carrots, bamboo shoots and mushrooms are the best ones I know of.

Hasn’t ray mentioned olive oil also?

Not that I have heard.

I think Danny Roddy has.

Black walnut hull, wormwood, clove, ginger, turmeric, and oil of oregano are some suggestions that come to mind.

 

[For Peat's Sake]

Berberine, allicin. Could consider chucking some activated charcoal into the process.

 

[JacobG]

Raw Garlic, undecylenic acid & s boulardii.

Cinnamon bark (or clove, not both), allicin, coconut oil/monolaurin, biofilm disrupters

Peat recommends a pinch of flowers of sulphur with it for 2-3 days to establish a good gut microbiome. No longer and not too often or you can cause a sensitivity. He used it too often and has sensitized his gut to it.

Iodine.

I heard him say this, but what is flowers of sulphur? Where can I get it??

Iodine.

Iodine as high as 100mg plus iodine enemas were never helpful for me for what it's worth. I also think supplementing iodine potentially affected my metabolism negatively and I'm not sure it's worth playing around with.

What issues were you trying to address, and what forms of iodine did you try?

I used Lugol's iodine. I was refering to it's potential to help with clearing candida/overgrowth as an antifungal option. Thought it was worth mentioning the negative effect it had on metabolism. From my experience I feel it's something to approach with caution if not avoided all together.

Ok well since it seems like you've made your mind up let's leave it at that then.

I was just sharing my experience with iodine.. if yours was different it would be helpful to hear it.

Is fluconazole or ketoconazole really that bad for a once in a blue moon use after a antibiotic course from an infection I have. Noticed fungal symptoms after the course but want to clear the fungal completely so considering one dose 150mg fluconazole. I know it’s not good on the liver, but is only one use that bad?
