 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>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.
