Threelac Debate
I tried this stuff for like 6 eeks or so a few years ago and had no luck, I swore it off as snake oil. However, my sister has been taking it for months now and has sworn by it. She says nothing like it has ever worked this effectivley.
Sooo with a skeptic reservation, i'm looking back into Threelac.
The first thing I did was look up it's actual ingredients. Here they are:
ThreeLac Ingredients: Bacillus Coagulans (200 million CFU), Bacillus Subtilis (25 million CFU), Enterococcus Faecalis (25 million CFU), Lemon Juice Powder, Refined Yeast Powder, Fiber
Here is encyopedia definition of the first and predominant ingredient, Bacillus Coagulans:
Bacillus coagulans is a species of Bacillus bacteria, which can contaminate canned food and gives it a flat sour taste. This includes foods that are normally too acidic for most bacteria; B. coagulans can grow at a pH as low as 4.2.
Hmm, doesn't sound to good for us...but maybe the mix with the second bacteria in the ingrdients makes sound biological sense for fighting candida?
Anyone, with knowledge on this care to elaberate?
ThreeLac made me sick and my doctor told me it contains fecal matter and not to take it anymore.
I have been taking ProBio5 for 2 months now and it has helped my leaky gut and brain fog. You can buy it off www.nutritionspecialties.com and I saw it recently on eBay.
It is half the cost of ThreeLac and it contains Enzymes! Unlike the ThreeLac!
I tried Threelac for 3 months but it didn't seem to help much. I think I was allergic to the yeast too. Far too expensive for my budget. Also, Dom Romin (born with candida, turned nutritionist) said it didn't look that impressive. He thinks d-lenolate (a patented form of olive leaf extract) is better.
Estaban,
I'm considering useing it again, it did make me feel better a few years ago, but wasn't a magic cure for me. Nothing is for most people. But i have done many liver flushes and intestinal cleanses, cleaning out miles of mucoid plaque and tonnes of liver/gallbladder stones. Now that i have done that i believe the 3lac may have a better chance as the internal environment is so much cleaner and there is less of a habitat for the candida now. I think the difference for some people and whether 3lac works or not, is the degree that their body is congested. Like a sewer pipe, sometimes the caustic soda wont clean out the blockage , you need a rotar rooter, or electric eel(depending on what country your in). In other words, i think most people here need to take drastic action and clean their insides out, with results that you physically can see, not taking lotions and potions of antifungals and making all the health food companies rich. And being on diets that you cant sustain lifelong is pointless. In any case Estaban, i am talking from experience and am feeling the benefits. 3lac??
