LOVE your videos, Todd! Thank you so much for what you do for us. God bless you! 🙂 I do have a huge WARNING to share with others based on my personal terrible experience. I had a really awful experience with Undecylenic Acid a few years ago. I took only one capsule and it gave me some of the most severe chest pain and heartburn that I've ever had in my life. I actually thought I was having a heart attack! So.. I just wanted to caution people - do NOT take a big handful of these if you are struggling with gastritis or stomach ulcers. It can cause horrible pain. ( I wasn't aware that I had gastritis at the time, but I know that I have chronic gastritis now. ) This is one that you want to hold off on until your gastritis and / or ulcers are healed. Trust me on that one! Lauricidin is great - it has helped me in the past. But also a caution on that one - if you are extremely sensitive like me ( I have mast cell activation syndrome ) then you'll want to start at a VERY low dose - like one little pellet of the Lauricidin. It can cause some massive die-off reactions, so don't start with a whole little scoop of it if you're sensitive because you'll be hurting really bad! For the sensitive population, you probably want to start with 1 pellet and gradually increase. Hope this is helpful. 😄
I took loads of undecylenic acid, it never hurt me. But this cycling bit, this mystifies me. As this stuff keeps coming right back. Olive leaf caps. Olive leaf extract. Oregano oil. Caprylic acid. Pau d’arco. What I DO suffer is sudden onset panic. Certain things kill off too fast, that’s a tough one.
Oh my goodness, I'm yet to find a video that actually explains HOW to take those antifungals. 🙂 Byron, would you share how do you suggest taking any of these acids? With meals, empty stomach? Thank you
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
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
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
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
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
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 🙏🙏🙏
@@actionjackson8439 well, in another video on biofilms Todd mentioned that enzymes & biofilm disruptors should be taken first on an empty stomach, followed by liquid herbs 30 minutes later. 🤷
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.
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.
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?
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 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
@@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.
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 :-)
Try clove and or cinnamon tea. Just boil them for 5 to ten minutes. Also be careful that it will lower your stomach acid pH level (it will lower acidity). You need high acidity because it also kills bacteria. So when you're done drinking the tea, take apple cider vinegar and salt diluted in water. Take a lot and don't worry about acid reflux; your stomach can handle it very easily. But don't let it linger in your mouth because it may damage your teeth so drink somewhat quick.
@@jefferadus8582 you're most welcome and again don't be shy on the vinegar. Take some carrots (has a lot of fiber per 100 grams which is good food for good bacteria) with the vinegar or right after. That way you ensure the right bacteria is eating it.
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 don’t think docs take it seriously. They’d write a prescription for yet another antibiotic. Cycle starts anew🫤

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!!!!!🙏

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 :-)
Great video as always! What are your thoughts on coconut oil/saturated fats feeding proteobacteria?

What was the prebiotic that you showed in the video?

These oils, are they a problem ingesting if one has no gall bladder? If I gang up on them?
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!
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 🙏🙏🙏
I have the same question. Did you happen to find answers for this anywhere?
@@actionjackson8439 well, in another video on biofilms Todd mentioned that enzymes & biofilm disruptors should be taken first on an empty stomach, followed by liquid herbs 30 minutes later. 🤷
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’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.

What things kill fungal but do NOT harm good bacteria as monolaurin does...
I would look into pomegranate husk here
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

Yes that sounds like die-off to me. Going low and slow is helpful for many of my patients
@@ByronHerbalist thanks for your advice
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.
The Healer 🌟
you're too kind!
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.
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.
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.

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
Hi
Candida is very hard to beat, I sometimes give up becouse I cannot feel that pain.
Very true
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 🫣
A bit ironic that a "herbalist" doesn't realize that the H is silent.
lol we’re not all American my friend. Classic 😂
Whats oke for biofilm
