There are plenty of different opinions regarding efa's ratio and they range from 1:2 to 5:1 more or less. It's more important to have the right ratio of these than the actual doses - 4:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 has been researched and proven to be effective. Bodybio makes a combination of sunflower and flax oils with this ratio. I tested this ratio and seems to work well for me so I currently mix 1 tablespoon of sunflower seed oil to 1 teaspoon of flax seed.
If you have digestion problems you may want to look at making sure you produce enough stomach acid; if not you may have to supplement with betain HCl or take some apple cider vinegar and/or lemon with meals. Protein needs stomach acid to be digested. You want to make sure that your liver and gallbladder arent clogged and produce enouh bile to help with the lipids aabsorption. Also if you may want to add digestive enzymes to help with breakdown of your food and toxins.

I'm not real familiar with the Candida diet, but I've read a little about it. I'm not real sure you can follow this protocol because of that. I think there may be elements of this protocal that might not be OK with Candia. The Omega 3 is always a good idea to add to your program. We do not get anywhere near the amount that we need with a "current diet". I believe from what I have read in the NT book that it should be equal portions. O3 - Ozone to O6. Unfortunately we get way too much of the O6 which is not real healthy!

As to the saturated fat, that is where I'm not sure how it might effect the Candida. It is very vital to your over all health, I believe, however, if there are circumstrances where you need to withdraw for awhile, then maybe that could be so. If I understand Candida does not allow effective digestion of fats? If I am incorrect about that, please let me know. But saturated fats are not the "evil" that they have been made out to be. I'm sorry I can not give you more effective information on this issue. You might want to test yourself with the elimination approach. In other words, try some saturated fat and if it doesn't work, then back off. I do believe that a natural traditional diet is effective, however, most of us have not done that in the past and therfore have created not so good body processes and therefore, not all the past traditions will work until we get our bodies in order.

Hope this helps.

This is off topic from weston price, but i was able to get
rid of most my candida using M****tech supplements, they
are expensive but worth it.

I wouldn't take that much omega 3. Saturated fats will greatly improve omega 3 and 6 absorption and utilisation, so eat a lot of saturated fats.
Polyinsaturated fats tend to be too fragile and should be limited.

I don't know what diet route you are following, but I believe that you should eat at least as many fat as protein (in grams).
Coconut oil, butter (or ghee, which is a much purer milk fat), even suet are great source of saturated fats.

One great recipe that requires a dehydrator is the traditional pemmican from the american indians: melted suet mixed with ground (a blender works well) dried lean meat (jerky). They didn't clog their arteries with this, despite many diet dictocrats who would believe that you'd die from such a food.
