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

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!

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..

"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?

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.

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

Good Luck!

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.

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

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.

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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....
