I'll post my protocol. It's better to get your own protocol so he can determine what you need and you also don't have the benefit of testing to see where you are along the way. One of the biggest mistakes people make is quitting because they feel better. The mistaken idea is that we all have candida so we just need to lower the levels, but that's not true. Candidiasis is candida that became an infection and the yeast morphs into a fungus and digs itself into the intestinal wall creating layers of fungus. If you quit before it's gone it will just come back.
The key is commitment. It's an exact protocol so you have to follow it step by step and also follow the diet which is difficult. I know we don't feel well and it can be difficult to muster up the determination. I was so determined to get rid of the candida that I would have done anything. The candida can make you have extreme carb and sugar cravings but you have to stick to the diet or it won't work.
Candida Diet -entire protocol
Phase 0 - Loosens top layers of candida
K-min This is diatomaceous earth which scrapes the candida off the intestinal walls
Candiloosener Contains MSM, N-Acetyl-Glucosamine, cellulose
6-in-1 To help absorb and eliminate the candida that was loosened. Contains betonite, apple fiber, pslhum husk, oat bran-fine, whey powde, fennel seed powder, rice bran hull, wormwood, red clover, citrus pectin, artichoke flour, barley grass, alfalfa, citricidal, di calcium phosphate, buckthorn bark, butternut bark, cascara sagrada, cat's claw, cloves, gentian powder, golden seal root, rhubard root.
Take 4 capsules of each, once in a.m. and once in p.m. on empty stomach.
I was on this for a month
Phase I Candida Killers
He picks 4 for you and you rotate them every four days because candida can quickly develop immunity to a substance.
Lomatium - liquid extract on empty stomach 1/2 dropper 4x a day
Spilanthes - liquid extract on empty stomach 1/2 dropper 4x a day
Collodial Silver - Brand Agcidal 1 tsp on empty stomach 3x a day in water
Kolorex - as recommended on label (do not take on empty stomach! Major burning diarrhea)
Continue Phase 0 products while adding Phase 1
He also gave me pregnenalone to raise cortisol. Usually you quit everything to kill the candida including vitamins because some vitamins feed it. Also, killing infections is normally the first priority before you can do anything else. Do not try to detox as mercury can cause a major candida overgrowth as it's dumped into the intestines. But if your hormones are messed up it may interfere with candida killing.
I was on Phase 1 (with Phase 0 continuing) for two months. It was determined most of candida was killed. I had it system wide so now to focus on intestines only.
Phase II - Concentrate on completely elimnating from intestines and rebuilding good bacteria
Mycropryl - Caprylic Acid - 4 capsules 3x a day, raising to 10 3x per day over a period of 7 days, 7 days at a time, rotating with
Undycenoic Acid - 4 capsules 3x a day, raise to 10 per day, 3x per day
If die off too bad, lower the dosages
2 weeks after starting these two, add:
saccharomyces boulardii - probiotic - 2 3x a day
Ultra Flora - probiotic - 2 3x a day
Probioplex IC (I think, can't read writing) - probiotic - 2 3x a day
Continue Phase 0 products.
Did this for a month.
Another huge misconception is that taking probiotics will kill candida. No, it will not, not until the level of candida is low enough. Candida laughs at probiotics. Dr. B uses the analogy of trying to plant flowers in a garden of weeds.
Quote from Dr. B on curezone:
In the early 90's I helped the then great smokies labs develope the now famous CDSA stool test. I had the opportunity to test 30 patients every week for 9-12 weeks. I got to see first hand how their bifidus and acidophillus levels responded to taking probiotics vs antifungals. After 9-12 weeks on very expensive probiotics 90% of the patients exhibited negative growth if the probiotics. I repeated the trial after giving the patients a 3 month rotation of intestinal antifungals.The CDSA test then showed a return of the probiotics in 80% of the patients.
Interestingly while on the antifungals the probiotics the acidophilus and bifidus began to return despite not taking the probiotics.
After this I worked on Leaky Gut with a product called
Permavite and kept taking
probiotics. And after that worked on all the huge messes that my body was in. Doing well but the flu shots I took and the pregnancy I had were too much and I got ME/CFS.
