Re: Candida: Got sick and tired of it, decided to nuke it all-out with meds for a month (ketaconazole tabs + nystatin tabs + natamycin tabs + terbinafine tabs) and weather the sidefx. Curious about what I'm feeling though.

Simple. It stacks tolerably low dosages of every single class of pharmaceutical antifungal under the sun. Last I checked, even the legendary Rasputin, having survived getting shot multiple times, stabbed, and drowned, all in one sitting, finally succumbed to being hacked into little pieces or something...

Once I knock yeast levels down somewhat with this combined assault, if total improvement isn't reached in a month or two (yeah, right, but one can still hope...), I can experiment with trying to figure out which part of this regimen actually worked.

Plus, I also kind of know that ketaconazole works to some extent. It's almost unfortunate, because it certainly is the nastiest of the bunch, but if the creams do work on the skin (caustic as hell and unpleasant though), it can be inferred that the tabs should do something for the intestines. Unless I'm infested with a bunch of different yeasts - in which case, treating a wide spectrum makes all the more sense.

...as to adding some herbs into the plan, that's proving a bit of a challenge. I live in Russia, where nutrition stores aren't exactly a big fad, and supplements are sold by positively weird people through badly designed websites or even just through friends. Next to none of them have been approved or tested by our version of the FDA. Hell, they're all basically contraband, and many don't even have Russian labels on them. Expensive, too, so you can bet some if not most are fake.

Do think I can manage to get a hold of the following:
NOW Foods Candida Clear:
Biotin 2 mg
Magnesium (from Magnesium Caprilate) 45 mg
Caprylic acid (from Magnesium Caprilate) 500 mg
Pau D'Arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa) (bark) 300 mg
Black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) 300 mg
Oregano oil (Origanum vulgare) 200 mg

180 caps for 40 bucks.

...seems like a decent formulation (IF it's authentic). What about the dosages, though? How much of it should be taken? Website recommends 2 caps 2 times daily. Tweet
