Does anyone knows anything about this remedy? I hope I spells it
correctly, it is made of Candida Albicans.

I dont have any data about it.
I was in a seminar with Jeremy Sherr and he said that this remedy is
(or should have been) a Polychrest.

A proving is in Links, summer 1994, and it's described in O A Julian's
Materia Medica. If you have Radar, you can also search the symptoms there.
It's a nosode, and can be helpful if a person has the symptom picture.

MONILIA-ALBICANS or CANDIDA-ALBICANS





Antibiotiques fongiques et Sycose. Courrier des Medicins

Homoeopaths francais No. 22, avril, 1959, p. 14.



Biotherapiques et Nosodes Maloine, Paris 1962.



Candida albicans or Monila albicans is a mushroom which appears in culture like oval or round yeasts, budding, with thin walls, accompanied by mycelian filaments formed of articles of variable lengths and have round endings.

It is characterised by special spores (Chlarnydospores) of 6 to 12 x diameter with thick separating wall.

Its identification is done by the physiological character of assimilation and fermentation of sugar.

A saprophyte of the human and animal digective tract, which may under some conditions (antibiotherapy, diabetis) prolifer and provoke some pathological manifestations of the skin, of mucouses and of visceras.

Its homoeopathic preparation is made from M. T. (alcoholic) 1/10 of a lysate of culture of Monila Albicans supplied by Pasteur Institute.

The clinical pathogenesis is the work of Jean Fallex.





Allergoso-mesenchymatous subjects (Psoro sychotic), with pathological reactions on the skin, mucouses and on organs (digestive, genital).





Tongue, thick, dry, cracked, red, scrotal. Tongue white on its posterior part, like soft brush.

Aphthous, stomatitis with vesicles, white deposit and foetid breath.

Gingivitis. Bleeding.

Dryness of the mouth and of the tongue. Dry lips, cracked, scorched, crusty. (b) Stomach, intestines, abdomen: Painful spasmodic enterocolitis. Constipation.



Allergic asthma.



Vulvitis and lichenoid vaginitis with vesicles and pustules; intense itching and oozing which may end in keratinisation.

Kraurosis of vulva. Utero-ovarian congestion.



Polyarticular arthritis.



Eczema with the characteristic of linear fissure localised in the folds of the skin and mucouses.

Interdigital eczema of feet with maceration of the skin under which is formed a fine crack, linear and red more or less deep and painful.

Vesicles on the back of the feet.

Peri-ungual inflammation and attack on the keratine of the nails with less thick furrows.

Interdigital eruption vesiculous and itching, onyxitis.

Linear form of eczema, localised at the back of the knee joints, peri-anal, inguino peri-anal, under the breasts, axillas, folds of elbows.

Symmetric eczema of the thorax, arms, forearms.



J. Fallax recommends 15 CH.



Thuya, Medorrhinum.



Aphthae; aphthous fever; gingivitis; painful, spasmodic enterocolitis; constipation after antibiotics; allergic asthma, vulvitis and vulvovaginitis, kraurosis of the vulva, fissured, linear eczema of the folds of the skin and mucouses.

Interdigital eczema of hands and feet. Dermatosis after antibiotics.

Does anyone know of a mental picture for it?

Thanks, Rochelle.

One cause for proliferation of candida in a person's system that Julian
didn't mention is the use of proton pump inhibitors to prevent heartburn.
This medication destroys the balance of intestinal flora, with a candida
overgrowth as a possible outcome. (The medication also inhibits absorption
of forms of calcium other than calcium citrate, thus leading potentially to
the development of osteoporosis, and also inhibits absorption of Vitamin B12
from the stomach, necessitating the use of either injections or sublingual
lozenges for supplying this vitamin). At least these are the consequences
we've discovered so far (others may be aware of other fallouts from this
medication, and I for one would be interested in knowing (probably off list)
what they might be.

According to Dr Mercola
They significantly reduce the amount of acid you have and with that
your ability to properly digest food. Reduction of acid in the
stomach also diminishes your primary defense mechanism for food borne
infections and will increase your risk of food poisoning.

Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)

What are proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and how do they work?

Proton-pump inhibitors reduce the production of acid by blocking the
enzyme in the wall of the stomach that produces acid. The reduction
of acid prevents ulcers and allows any ulcers that exist in the
esophagus, stomach and duodenum to heal.

For what conditions are PPIs used?

PPIs are used for the prevention and treatment of acid-related
conditions such as ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD),
and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. They also are used in combination
with antibiotics for eradicating Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium
that together with acid causes ulcers of the stomach and duodenum.

Are there differences among PPIs?

PPIs are very similar in action and there is no evidence that one is
more effective than another. They differ in how they are broken-down
by the liver and their drug interactions. The effects of some PPIs
may last longer and they, therefore, may be taken less frequently.

What are the side effects of PPIs?

The most common side effects of PPIs are headache, diarrhea,
constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, and rash. Nevertheless, PPIs
generally are well-tolerated.

With which drugs do PPIs interact?

PPIs interact with few drugs. The absorption into the body of some
drugs is affected by the presence of acid in the stomach, and because
PPIs reduce acid in the stomach, they may affect the absorption of
these drugs. Specifically, PPIs reduce the absorption and
concentration in the blood of ketoconazole (NIZORAL) and increase the
absorption and concentration of digoxin (Lanoxin). This may lead to
reduced effectiveness of ketoconazole and an increase in digoxin
toxicity. PPIs can reduce the break-down of some drugs by the liver
and lead to an increase in their concentration in the blood.
Omeprazole is more likely than the other PPIs to reduce the break-
down of drugs by the liver. For example, omeprazole may increase the
concentration in the blood of diazepam (Valium), warfarin (Coumadin)
and phenytoin (Dilantin).

Interested to hear from Rosemary about calcium absorbtion impaired
and can think of someone whom Vit B12 night have helped a lot, Jean

That was very interesting Rosemary - thanks for posting.

I suspect there are a lot of non-antibiotic medicenes that kill/harm
beneficial flora, and flora in general. Paul Autrey

I don't believe the Julian Monilla symptom picture is even close to the
totality of Candida symptoms. Some of the Candida books have a more
accurate mental and physical symptom picture. PA

But we shouldn't expect that the proving of a potency will provide the

The symptoms of a candida infestation I think are more from the toxins
they produce, rather than direct effects?
