I want to take the time here to thank everybody in this forum for answering my questions and for the wonderful support, specially Shelleycat and Garcia.
During these past few weeks I have spent a substantial amount of time trying to educate myself on how to get rid off candida. I have been a candida sufferer for the last four years and have tried all sorts of things like dieting, Threelac, Diflucan, etc. with very little success. Brainfog sometimes is so severe that I can barely function. The only thing that improved my symptoms was the 30 day Master Cleanse that I did eight months ago but as soon as I started eating normal I was back to square one.
My intention is to make a final assault on Candida and get rid of this terrible disease once and for all. To do this, even though money is tight, I am willing to embark on the treatment detailed below for as long as it takes. Feedback would be very much appreciated. This is what I am planning to take/do:
Natural
Antibiotics :
- Alli-C - potent garlic concentrate with pure Allicin
- Solaray Yeast Cleanse - Ingredients: Calcium, magnesium, zinc, caprylic acid, pau d'arco, grapefruit seed extract, garlic, licorice root, and tea tree oil.
- Drink lots of Pau d'arco tea
- Three tablespoons of coconut oil/day
Liver Cleanse:
- Planetary Formula's Bupluerum Liver Cleanse
- Chinese bitters
- Lecithin
- MSM
- Beet juice
-
Liver Flushes once every two weeks
Colon Cleanse
- Candex
- Colosan
- Psyllium and
Bentonite shakes three times a day
Diet
- Lots of lemon and water (this helped me feel much better when I did the Master Cleanse)
- Strict candida diet
- A Superfood like the Super-green supplement Perfect Food or similar
Digestion
- Pancreatic enzymes
- Kim Chee before meals
Other
- Baking soda and
Epsom Salts baths twice a week 20 minutes after taking 40mg Niacin
- Alpha Lipoic Acid (50mg)
- CoQ10 with L-Carnitin
After the first TWO weeks I will add Garden of life probiotics and stop taking the natural
Antibiotics (except the coconut oil).
QUESTIONS:
- Should I continue with Candex, Colosan and Triphala after the second week??? Will it kill the probiotics?
- How much baking soda and how much Epson salts do I need to use for the baths? From what I understand the baking soda and how much Epson salts help to detox, but how? I have never taking one so I do not know how they work or what to expect?
- Is goat milk OK to drink during the diet? What about kefir made with goat milk?
- What is the recommended dosis for CoQ10/L-Carnitine?
- What does Coptis do? Should I also take this?
- Is it true that yeast hates salt? Can I have soy sauce in my meals?
- I have read mixed reviews about soy products. I love tofu with soy sauce. Is it OK to have during the diet.
- Is there anything that I can do/take to ease the brainfog?
Thank very much to all of you
