Hello: I would like to share my experience with everybody, in hopes that it might be of benefit to someone. I have struggled with candida overgrowth beginning approx. 5 years ago; I don't believe it ever became systemic. Recently all my symptoms have vanished. This is due to: 1) my antifungal of choice, xylitol, which I have not rotated, but used faithfully for about 6 months, (not to be confused with the other
Sugar alcohols, which make candida worse - xylitol is the only one that is antifungal). I used approx. 1/4 cup a day, more or less, after I read that it kills thrush in the mouth due to candida albicans, and also is recommended for diabetes and is referenced by Dr.
Andreas Moritz on this site several times for other uses. 2)
Bentonite with a small amount of psyllium and a tablespoon of xylitol (which helps it to move faster, thus not constipating), once a day, for the last 2 months. 3) lactobacillus acidophilus, in the form of plain yogurt (just recently added bifidus), and supplements, NOW brand, 2 million, once or twice a day (I only added this last month).
Plus I eliminated sugar, fruits, yeast and any processed foods, and included coconut, and just lately some coconut oil.
Also, for any die-off skin breakouts or any skin itches including spider bites, I have used tinted clearasil which seems to work just as well as anything else for me.
I plan to continue my regimen, plus I would like to do
Liver Flushes soon, also. I don't claim to have the answer for everyone, but perhaps this will be useful to some. My therapy has been somewhat nontraditional.
Thanks for reading and I sure hope everyone feels well soon. (And I hope all my symptoms stay gone! - it's been about 2 months).
Julie
