Is nattokinase okay if you have candida?

Dear Stephen,
My question concerns nattokinase and candida. I understand that nattokinase is made from fermented soy. I’d like to take something to speed the removal of biofilm, but per my anti-candida diet, I am not supposed to have any fermented foods. I’m also concerned about GMOs– soy is often GMO. I suppose non-GMO nattokinase is available–is there a brand you recommend? Do you think taking nattokinase would be safe in my case? Would another biofilm-busting product be better, and if so, what do you suggest?


Stephen’s response:
I can’t see how nattokinase would be contraindicated in candida. It is made from fermented soy, it is not fermented soy. So, I would go ahead and use it. If you feel worse, stop, but it should be fine. I don’t have a specific brand that I like more than the others.

This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone… it has given me my life back.

    Natto is excellent for candida. Buy Magumi brand – it’s non-GMO and extremely effective. Incredibly healthy.

    You can get it online or at a Japanese supermarket, or potentially at natural food stores.

    Hello Ait Youcef,
    Apologies but the Buhner Healing Lyme Q & A is closed to new questions. Stephen is retired from answering questions at this point. You can try to reach him on his personal email here: stephen@gaianstudies.org but he gets hundreds of emails and cannot answer every single one. The best thing to do is read his books and search the archives on BuhnerHealingLyme.com to see if your questions have already been answered. Best wishes, Julie
