Intestinal Support (formerly Yeast/Fungal Detox): Transformation Enzymes

Yeast and/or fungal infections have become one of the prominent plagues of Western civilization. This is largely a consequence of the typical Western diet that contains large quantities of sugar. Fungi utilize primarily sugars and starches as their food source. Fungal growth is enhanced by refined and/or heated sugar, although these organisms also efficiently feed on natural sugars such as those found in fruits and fruit juices. The rampant use of antibiotics is an additional crucial factor, which is responsible for the heightened incidence of yeast infections. Antibiotics kill only bacteria and are aggressive in destroying the body's protective bacteria. This leaves the body vulnerable for colonization by yeast and fungi. The mucous membranes of the mouth, sinuses, lungs, intestines, uterus, urethra and vagina are lined with virtually billions of protective bacteria. When these bacteria are destroyed, the tissues are aggressively invaded by various strains of yeast and fungi. The by-product of yeast/fungi metabolism is a highly toxic chemical that is deleterious to the immune system's function.
