Fruit, sugar and turpentine

Dr Jennifer Daniels advocates eating lots of fruit prior to and during Turpentine therapy to kill Candida. Besides the health value of fruit, this should greatly increase the frequency of bowel movements, something she stresses is essential if undertaking Turpentine treatment. Logically, I think one shouldn't eat much, or any, fruit when fighting Candida, however enough Candida 'experts' say it's okay. I wonder...

Also controversial is that a not insignificant amount of pure white Sugar (3 cubes) is ingested with each dose of turpentine. I don't think the Sugar is just to mask the taste and absorb the Turpentine in order to avoid contact burning of the mucous membranes. It is postulated that the white Sugar draws the fungus out to feed, and ultimately to die.

Now it is certainly true that as a general rule, eating lots of refined sugar makes candidiasis worse. This is a fact few would argue with. A lesser known fact is that a very low carb diet encourages Candida to turn hyphal, burrow into the bowel walls, and become much harder to eradicate. So fighting Candida by restricting carbs is a double edged sword.

Are fruits Candida neutral? Sure, fruits will feed Candida, but not as much as refined sugar. But maybe eating fruits will encourage Candida to remain in its more benign yeast form instead of turning fungal? So maybe one is no worse off Candida-wise for eating fruits. The negative of feeding the yeast may be balanced by the positives of discouraging hyphal Candida and improved bowel motility. It may depend on the individual. It may also depend on what antifungals are taken at the same time.

I am interested in turpentine because it seems to be a very effective antifungal, perhaps more effective than prescription antifungals for candidiasis, and also kills many bacterial pathogens which may be causing symptoms in the small bowel. I know I have both bacterial and fungal pathogens in my small bowel. When I kill the bacteria the fungus overgrows. I could take RX Antibiotics and antifungals, but my intuition tells me this is a risky option. It could work, but I could also end up with resistant and more virulent strains of both bacteria and fungus. Turpentine may kill all my pathogens, including bacteria, fungus and other parasites. Tweet
