Anyone heard of this? What do you think?

Posted by SForsgren (Member # 7686) on :

It has been around for quite awhile. I know of one person that tried it but not sure what the result was.

Posted by sammy (Member # 13952) on :

Very interesting. Jennie, will you let us know if you try it? I would like to hear about your experience. Thanks!

Posted by Carol in PA (Member # 5338) on :

Jennie, did you try this treatment for Candida?

From reading the whole page, it looks as if this may work better than Diflucan.

With all the people on this board who have yeast problems, I can't believe that no one else has found this product!

Posted by skies (Member # 28064) on :

Wow! I would like to hear feedback if there is anyone out there that tried this... It sounds promising, but who knows? Maybe I will e-mail that link to my LLMD & see what he has to say about it..

Posted by Carol in PA (Member # 5338) on :

"Lufenuron prevents Candida from growing and repairing the Chitin in its cell wall."
http://www.owndoc.com/candida-albicans/lufenuron-success-in-treating-fungal-infections/

When reading through that page, I had a couple of "Ahah!" moments.

.
Fleas' outer coats are made from Chitin.
Lufenuron is classified as an insect development inhibitor, and is the active ingredient in Program.

Merrygirl, what do the vets think about Program for fleas?

Up - has anyone tried this product?

Posted by skies (Member # 28064) on :

I plan to ask my LLMD about it. I will tell you what he says!

Posted by tickedoff2wice (Member # 35693) on :

I ordered it and am hopeful, to be honest a bit nervous.

Anyone else attempt (please say yes)?

I never tried this product. Actually, I had forgotten about it.

I can't wait to hear tickedoff2wice's review. Please keep us all posted.

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I think when I checked on it last year it was not available.

Now it is.

oops...same link RZR posted [Razz]

Posted by tickedoff2wice (Member # 35693) on :

Nervous...anyone want to try it with me? (come on you chickens [Wink]

RZR if you don't hear from me in about a month that probably means you shouldn't take it, lol

Posted by tickedoff2wice (Member # 35693) on :

Looks like a great forum: http://forums.owndoc.com/candida/

LOL! Did you order enough to do one cycle or two?

Good Luck!

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I'll have to wait until next month. I'm not chicken at all! I'll try anything!

Posted by ukcarry (Member # 18147) on :

I have some sitting around that I have been intending to try, but other concerns have intervened.

On the forum ( now closed) run by the vendor, several posts imply that it is a good idea to take it alongside Diflucan or another ergosterol inhibitor so that candida is attacked on 2 fronts, as Lufenuron inhibits chitin.

The vendor states that even those whose candia is not cured by Lufenuron will find that the candida is forced to mutate to a weaker form.

The advice is to continue with it (each 9 gr packet taken over 3 days represents a 2 week course) only if some improvement is seen, in which case continue with more 2 week courses until there is no further improvement.

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

Thanks, UK!

Posted by ukcarry (Member # 18147) on :

Dr Sarah Myhill, a well known British doctor, says on her site that several of her patients have seen improvement on Lufenuron.

Posted by Carol in PA (Member # 5338) on :

Thanks ukcarry, I looked at Dr. Myhill's site and found this:

Lufenuron - a potentially useful treatment to treat candida
http://drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Lufenuron

She has a link to Lufenuron Candida Treatment Patient Guide.

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

Thanks, Carol!! Looks like I may have to wait until October as it seems I would need back to back dosing. It says if you still have symptoms you should continue it.. not stop and then start again.

(can't afford two pkgs right now)

Posted by ukcarry (Member # 18147) on :

Yes, she suggests continuing it until it is no longer helping, but only if you notice positive changes from the first course.

She does not encourage people to buy more than one pack at a time for this very reason.

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

Yes, but if I need two, there will be a gap in treatment.

Posted by ukcarry (Member # 18147) on :

See what you mean! I'm lucky in that respect because I'm in UK.....the little packet I have arrived only a few days after my order.

Posted by heiwalove (Member # 6467) on :

up. has anyone tried this yet? my practitioner wants me to take it..

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I'm still a bit chicken. My PCP said it looked safe to him.

Tickedoff....

Did you ever try this? If so, please report how it worked for you.

How is your daughter feeling?

Thanks!

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

My PCP has several patients on this. I'm waiting to see if they get cured!!

Please let us know the results.

Posted by trishden (Member # 722) on :

Has anyone done this? Sounds like two of you were going to try it but never followed up. I've been suffering from systemic candida for two years and the diet, cleansing, prescriptions and herbals aren't helping. Would love to hear from someone who may have experience with this, good or bad.

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I forgot to ask my Dr about the results. I'll try to remember. I can even email him.

You might try the Body Ecology Diet for yeast....
