I recently found out what was wrong with me after years of battling with hypo and endocrine issues.. I got huge,... I bruise like a mo-fo and just gain so much water. I am literally carrying around all this water..
I started a fast Tuesday... This stops the food to the candida immediately!!! Making them dormant and your body and kick the living s*it out of them quickly and effectively.,
Follow up by Sugar free yogurt, probiotics etc.. and your candida cleanse or whatever you use...
But I have dropped 11 lbs of my water and my eyes are bright and white already, I can jump out of bed, my yeast infection is gone in my kitty, and I feel soo good.
Leafy green in blender with coconut oil or olive oil flax oil and slam it, protein shakes with very low or no carbs are the only food source.
take a vitamin.. etc
Nothing that will feed the little bas*ards should be allowed in your mouth.
Fasting throws you into ketosis which is toxic to candida.. it lowers your blood Sugar which they absolutely hate!
You can also Water Fast with just ceyanne pepper. But thats heavy duty,,
salads at night and crushed garlic slam are also great
I am fasting I am seeing immediate results.. This beats the hell out of a battle for years.
Also if you have candida infestation, your liver is in trouble. Fasting gives your liver a serious and much needed break! Butt pee is fun...
lamasil and diflucan are tough on the liver...
Do it naturally if you can and by all means, fast..
You can get electrolytes in green teas if you don't boil them so your heart is in danger and no strenuous exercise as your heart is a muscle.
In my opinion, yes fasting is tough to get used to, but you have been living in hell for years.
Hmm fasting and immediate relief or battling years and being tough on your liver..
There isnt much of a choice to me..

Here is a great artible on fasting and Candida..
It's the only way to fly.

Fasting and Candida

Candida is an example of a microorganism. It is normally found in the body, but, when the opportunity exists, it takes over and propagates, affecting the colon, vagina or bladder. Much of the harm done by Candida results from its waste product, acetaldehyde, which in turn can affect the neurological, endocrine and immune systems. Few chemicals can create as much havoc in the body as acetaldehydes. Acetaldehydes accumulate in the brain, spinal cord, joints, muscles and poison tissues. For this reason, any program in detoxification needs to address the problem of internal microorganisms.

Most microorganisms, including Candida, live on sugar. The more Sugar they get, the more they propagate. The problem is that everything turns to sugar except protein, and even juice fasting supplies sugars to the blood. Water Fasting is the solution. If they do not get enough sugar, microorganisms become dormant allowing the immune system a much easier time destroying them. A restricted juice fast using green leafy vegetables, garlic, carrots, beets and apples will help continue the healing through boosting the immune system.

Add fresh ginger root to fruit juices and garlic to the veggie mixtures. A Candida diet will include many salads and veggies combined with supplements and herbs. Most health food stores stock herbal formulas and supplements for parasite reduction such as caprylic acid tablets and molybdenum. If taken at bedtime with water, chopped garlic will not cause any breath odor. Throughout the night, the garlic will slowly release the antibacterial substances into the colon.

You can Water Fast with cayenne pepper and freshly juiced ginger root in an all-out attack against parasites. Longer Water Fasts are brutal to parasites, increasing the factors that make the body an unfriendly environment for growth and reproduction, such as low blood sugar, increased toxins in the blood and an immune system working at full intensity.
