Re: Gymnema sylvestre for systemic candida - Whole herb or standardized extract?

Excellent. Did you used the standardized one? If so what brand? How fast did it take to work/clear up your candida? I will be using GSE, Olive Leaf, oregano oil and Pau D'arco as well in rotation. I've suffered for years and realize I'm not going to get better if I don't address the hyphae problem as no matter what I through at it, it won't go away.

Doing more research on the internet it seems herbalists (shocker) believe the whole plant should be used but I wonder as it was the gymnemic acids specifically that helped in this study and an extract was used and sounds like it was standardized but I'm not sure. But I think you could just take more of the whole herb to make up for the standardized extract. I just received a message from Barefoot Herbalist that's on Curezone and he said to use the whole plant also. This is his response here: //www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=2161917

Thanks.
