Yes, i used Now brand but i am sure other comparable brands would work as well. Be sure it is GRAPEFRUIT SEED and not just grapefruit extract, it must be from the grapefruit SEEDS, and as long as it is 100% pure and unadulterated extract. The diet i followed was low to no sugar, and low carb because i was trying to lose weight during the time i contracted this. It worked out well for me, with candida you should NOT have Sugar in your diet. You can use stevia for a sweetener and limit your fruit intake. Drink plenty of water and herbteas are allowed..you can find the "Caveman diet" online, that is basically what i followed. As soon as i began taking the extract it starting helping. The infections went away, i followed this regime for about 1 year to stay "free of excess candida". Once in a while if i deviated and had a relapse i went back to the extract again to clear the infection. But, now after about 3 years, i am able to eat fruit and some additional sugary foods but only on occasion, without getting a relapse. Every month a take a dosage of the extract to remain cleansed. When i started this regime, i took 3 drops per a large glass of water/tea. I suggest you follow the bottle instructions and use your own good judgement. In addition, grapefruit seed extract is called a citricidal and has many other uses. Read up for further info online. Good luck...;-)

Try a Google search for grapefruit seed extract for great info on the subject

This is the brand I started using last Friday that seems to be producing the die-off. It also seems to be silica-free.

That is NOT true. You most certainly can be cured and go back to a completely normal diet including sugar. I did it. I had candida and ws cured for 15 years until more rounds of Antibiotics put me back to square one. The key is to completely finish it off and repopulate with friendly bacteria. You MUST do both diet and antifungals NA dhte mistake many make is not giving it enough time. Just because you have no symptoms does not mean it is time to abandon the diet and start going nuts on junk food. I stayed on diet 6 months after no symptoms and I was completely cured. But you really cannot cheat and take antifugnals and no diet, it will not work. It will jaut come back. Its life cycle is three months adn it can start returning within that period of time. All you do when you cheat is make it more resilent and much harder to get rid of.

Now, I will say that once you have had candida you are suseptible and if you get it a second time it is far worse.

Hi Remi I bought some caprylic acid capsules and was thinking about putting the powder in the p&b shake-
what do you think about this caprylic acid? http://www.smartbomb.com/slr8130.html

(I cant use the liquid on because of sensitivity to olive oil)

How much caprylic acid is in your liquid and how many time a day do you use it?

thanks!
