Hi Dave,
Great questions,....I have no respected answers,...I'm just a sufferer who is getting better FINALLY after years! The last 7 months have been worse than the cancer death I was facing! Truly! These candida spores,...or 'legs' as they're called,....hold onto 'colonies', and actually have what they call , 'an acidic glue'. Those colonies can and do turn into cancer if they're not challenged. I found all this out the hard way!
What I do is entirely trial and error.
The CS I am now only using twice a day,....1.5 tsp each time, swished around in my mouth, then swallowed. I take it on an empty stomach AWAY from ALL probiotics and/or enzymes!
I am doing it the very first thing in the AM,...to kill off anything that likes to back up,..(or crawl) sorry. GERD at the very least. I then take my (5) latero-flora 90 minutes later. Then,...I wait as long as hunger allows and eat a late breakfast,...usually a veggie smoothie. I take a digestive enzyme after the shake,...usually about 45 minutes after eating. I have switched this back from a few weeks ago,...so it's a work in progress,...but it works,...digestive enzymes after a meal work better for me for some reason. Before a meal,...they seem to trigger my gastroparesis feelings. So,...45 after late smoothie breakfast,...I take "Total Systemic Enzymes" By Nutra Nomics-I take 2 as bottle says.
Before a late lunch/snack,...I have another probiotic to help prepare me for food. This time,...around 2 PM,..I take "Vitacosts" Probiotic 15-35,...I again take 2.
I let my stomach empty,...til around 5, then take the 2nd (last) CS. The same as morning,.....their is nothing inside me to foul up,...except candida and unwanted critters.
About 90 minutes later I have a light dinner. About 6:30 PM.
An hour or so after dinner I have two dropperfuls of Papaya Leaf extract in with my
Essiac cancer tea. I don't eat again. But, before bed,...last thing,...I take a BIG gun!
Again by "Vitacost",,..Mega Digestive Enzymes w/Pancreatin 10X. I take two and go to bed,..knowing they will finish digesting while I sleep.
I hope this helps you as much as it is me!
Jill--PS My CS machine is just the cheapie that you pop on over a ball jar filled with distilled water. I do not know the strength, I'm sorry.
