 Antifungal agents such as fluconazole (Diflucan) are sometimes prescribed to treat fungal infections, of which //Candida// is one kind. While some patients have reported feeling better after taking antifungal agents, antifungals interfere with immune function.  Antifungal agents such as fluconazole (Diflucan) are sometimes prescribed to treat fungal infections, of which //Candida// is one kind.

-The antifungals directly inhibit the enzyme CYP27B1, which is needed for the mitichondria in the macrophages to convert 25-D to 1,25-D.(({{pubmed>long:12520539}})) With an artificially depressed rate of generating 1,25-D, patients taking antifungals tend to feel better for a period and then relapse worse than before.+The antifungals directly inhibit the enzyme CYP27B1, which is needed for the mitichondria in the macrophages to convert 25-D to 1,25-D.(({{pmid>long:12520539}})) With an artificially depressed rate of generating 1,25-D, patients taking antifungals tend to feel better for a period and then relapse worse than before.
  
 By increasing levels of 25-D and therefore inhibiting immunopathology, long-term use of antifungal drugs may delay progress on the Marshall Protocol (MP). By increasing levels of 25-D and therefore inhibiting immunopathology, long-term use of antifungal drugs may delay progress on the Marshall Protocol (MP).

 +<blockquote>I put coconut oil, with crushed, powdered olmesartan tabs in it, on my toenails and the rest of my feet daily.  It's taken 9 years! but the fungusy nails are gone except for a slight hint on one nail.  Itchiness between the toes resolved in the first few months of this topical olmesartan.  I was recently told by the "pedi care" nurse who cuts nails at the senior center by appointment that she recommends coconut oil as an antifungal.  Also a podiatrist  commented on the surprisingly good health of my feet's skin compared to most of the elder feet she sees, and attributed it to the coconut oil.  I personally think the olmesartan gets the credit, but I guess coconut oil as a vehicle for the olmesartan was a good choice.

 <blockquote>If candida is suspected, I usually treat prior to starting MP. This is often helpful also as gives a mild herx reaction and can prepare them for MP herx. Occasionally, I have used nystatin with patients on Benicar. These are usually patients who have had high dose antibiotics for Lyme disease in the past. This is very rare though. <blockquote>If candida is suspected, I usually treat prior to starting MP. This is often helpful also as gives a mild herx reaction and can prepare them for MP herx.
