Better But With Side Effects

Hi, I tried molybdenum after suffering from and battling candida for a long time, and after around 2 days of taking a high dose recommended by many websites I felt miraculously cured of many of my symptoms, most significantly aching and slow muscles and brainfog. It became very clear that many of my problems were caused by the acetaldehyde produced by the vast amount of dying yeast in my body. Unfortunately after taking molybdenum for over a month I began to develop new symptoms of extreme tiredness and sleepiness during the day. When I described my latest symptoms to friends and family they thought it sounded similar to anemia. I researched the effects of molybdenum and it tured out molybdenum massively depletes copper in the body and, copper defficiency causes a different form of much less common anemia in which the iron levels are normal but fail to be carried in the blood. I have struggled to cure this copper deficiency with copper supplememnts and dietery alterations, for a long time and due to anemia allowing candida to make a come back as the immune system is lowered my candida alas returned. This time I am too scared to use molybdenum again and after just trying pantethine and having some very terrible reaction to it, I am desperately seeking new more safe natural methods of excreting acetaldehyde from the body. I'm hoping there are some herbal remedies that may help. If anyone knows of any other ways of dealing with acetaldehyde, please get back to me.. And BE CAREFUL if you're taking molybdenum in large amounts. It could have been the best thing that ever happened to my health since becoming ill if I had only known to stop after a couple of weeks. Be careful.. It can be dangerous as I've learned the hard way.

Hi R Adams... Here is what Ted from Bangkok says about curing candida:

"Magnesium chloride 60% and ascorbic acid with baking soda will control your constipation well. The magnesium chloride drops are 10 drops 4 times a day, should be enough to control constipation. Tannic acid 1/4 teaspoon per liter of water will kill yeast overgrowth, and so will sodium molybdate 10 to 20 mg per day for a couple of days only. The hydrogen peroxide 3% one capful per liter of water as a drinking water and ascorbic acid and baking soda 1/4 teaspoon of ascorbic acid and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda will help control yeast overgrowth too. A spray used as air freshener ammonium chloride 5% to 10% in a water and breathe indirectly will prevent yeast and fungus for forming in the lungs. Borax 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon can be mixed into the hydrogen peroxide drinking water to help control fungus also. If anemia condition caused by fungus eating up iron, artemisinin[from wormwood] around 500 mg will stop the fungus from uptake of iron, thus limiting their growth."

You should only take the high dose molybdenum for a couple of days with continuous breaks. Molybdenum should also be taken on its own -- with no other mineral nutrients like zinc, Iron, copper etc because these minerals use the same absorption pathways and compete with each other. The lack of iron or anemia in your body is not caused so much by the molybdenum but is more likely to be caused by the voracious appetite of candida for iron -- which also helps to convert the candida into its more dangerous and more virulent disseminated or systemic form. This is why you should generally reduce the intake of rare meats(reduce heme iron) in your diet if you have candida.

Supplement molybdenum 10mgs - 20 mgs for two or three days only then take a break for a few days is the way to take it. You took high dose molybdenum for a solid month which is the wrong way to do it. There is nothing that I know of that so efficiently works with the body to help reduce candida toxins -- as well as helping to kill the candida -- like molybdenum. Taking zinc is also helpful for increasing the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme in the body to help get rid of excess alcohols that are also produced as waste from candida.

And if you are taking pantethine then you should be taking an equal amount of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) with it. See this article:

I 2nd the warning that R Adams gave about molybdenum causing severe copper depletion; and in my case that caused a serious cartilage or vertebrae disk damage to the body. It does this by causing a severe copper shortage, or deficiency in the body. This is a well known effect of molybdenum on animals, esp. sheep. 2 people in my family took molybdenum in the 500 mCg. size pill, for about 2 weeks, and both people suffered spinal disk degeneration. The spinal disks began sagging down and allowing the bone vertebrae spacing to collapse, which caused spinal nerve impingements. We began to to get sciatica pains, and our spine bones began to grate together. Our spines were degenerating in just days after starting the molybdenum. I used the internet to try and find out what was happening, and luckily found a couple of good websites which revealed that copper is needed for elastin tissues in sspinal disks, etc, and the molybdenum was causing a shortage of copper. It took about 2 months to get back to normal, after quitting the molybdenum.

I bought $100 worth of hyaluron from a bulk supplier to help with the cartiladge repair, but it turned out to be a defective batch, and did not help any. All hyaluron being sold on the market today is not bio-active. Some of it does not work. When you get good bio-active hyaluron it does work very well and very fast. I could not afford to buy anymore hyaluron after getting the bad batch, so I just done without.

R Adams: I manage this problem on a daily basis w/ MolyB 250mcgs 3x and don't exceed that. I also take 50-100 mg Zinc 3mg Copper daily for immune support and antioxidant support. Since aldehyde is toxic especially to the liver do take some Milk Thistle Seed Extract. For both alcohol and aldehyde detox, NAD (the niacin enzyme) is the major nutrient involved. You may prosper from some type of niacin supplementation or best to simply take NAD or NADH. Coenzyme B2 or FMN is also directly involved in aldehyde detox. You must get back on the MolyB along with these other nutrients and that will resolve the Ald problem.

Maybe to early to tell and I have a host of problems, but the few times that I have used Turpentine has been of benefit. It is said by some as the #1 fungal killer. If Ted and Bills protocols aren't working you may need to also do some heavy metal detox as well as Parasite detox, Turpentine or MMS (Miracle Mineral Supplement). MMS is a major oxygen donor, more than H2O2 drops.

Supplementing Zinc/Copper alone can almost double your immune power. Thymus support will greatly increase immune power.

Reply to R. Adams from Liverpool: I found your posting re: detoxing acetaldehyde, of much interest. Can you indicate what type of negative reaction(s) you had from taking pantethine. Also, have you found any promising natural acetaldehyde detoxifiers with hopefully only limited side-effects? Thanks, Larry

Hello, I am very fortunate as to finding out that I have a molybdenum deficiency. It causes Wilson's disease. Basically what happens is you can't digest the good parts of your food like amino acids, and sulfur. And it causes massive amounts of candida in the body. Now of course in your case you had a severe crash when you supplemented with molybdenum because it stripped your body of every last bit of copper.

I am on day two of getting my molybdenum from a simple source that also includes copper in it. Diatomacious Earth. I also take it with a couple other things that dissolve it, and help it be transported to the right places in the body.

1st you need some DE powder, but you also need zinc and magnesium with it, the cheap kind from the store will do just fine. I use one 50 mg tablet of zinc and 2 magnesium tablets at 500 mg. Next I get a couple limes which are also high in many minerals, but the main reason I do this is because of the high citric acid in limes. Juice from a squeezed lime will dissolve a penny.

So I take the DE, magnesium, and zinc put them in a glass (made from glass), and squeeze at least 2 limes, (the big ones) and let it dissolve all day. Then before bed I swirl it around in the glass to to mix it up and down it like a shot, I chase it with sparkling mineral water so it is more easily assimilated into my body.

Long story short, I haven't felt this good since November 2002, when my body crashed, and let me tell you I feel fantastic! Of course, I am not a doctor, and you should consult with yours on this.. And while you're in his office ask him to get a nutritional hair analysis done. I will update this post in time. I have no doubt for me that this protocol will continue to work. Good luck, and may the Almighty bless you in Christ's name that you find a solution as he has for me.

I would recomend Colloidal silver, this is a natural immune booster as well as a detoxifier,

I have no idea why you would take molybdynum if it is depleting the copper in your system, because thats exactly what the chem trails do they deplete certain minerals our bodys need to stay healthy like copper and potasium even magnesium, I definatly recomend potasium 100% and colloidal silver .

.. colloidal silver repairs dna damage, great for skin and fungus toxins etc, but like everything else too much of a good thing can become a bad thing, so keep track of your body mineral levels and stop taking the cures when your body is balanced or back to normal.

maybe use it once or twice a month afterwards, aluminum nano particles affects the brain .. monoatomic gold repairs the brain and adds super intelligence as well.. among other health benifits,,

AND STAY OUT OF THE RAIN.

these chemicals enter the body this way..through skin and hair. I hope this helped..
