Master Cleanse
Posted by Terra (Ocala, Fl) on 10/05/2010
★☆☆☆☆

I've been on the Master Cleanse diet for 10 days and plan on continuing it for 30 in hopes to rid myself of Candida along with bad breath, which is one of the horrible side effects. However, I have not noticed any improvement and it gets me nervous because the fast is recommended 3-10 days for the average person, but you can do it up to 40. I guess what I'm wanting to know is, is the grade b maple syrup that's in the lemon drink helping or hurting my candida?

Niacin
Posted by John (Jacksonville, Nc) on 09/21/2010
★★★★☆

After taking 50mg of niacin several times a day, my mouth-focused candida is much better.

I make sure to keep it below 1000 mg/day. Undecylenic acid was recommended along with niacin, but I cannot find it at the stores. My mouth had geographic tongue, and sores all everywhere and especially after eating certain sugary foods things got tender, but now that I'm eating these niacinamide supplements, I can eat whatever I want again, and the big sores are gone and my tongue is back to normal. If I feel it starting to flare up, I chew up a pill and rub the niacinamide all over my tongue and lips and I can feel the fungus dying, and everything returning to normal. After months of suffering, I'm so glad to have it so much better, not perfect, but I just started 2 days ago, so what can we expect.

Niacin
Posted by Tom (Regina, Sk) on 09/22/2010

John: I note you are trying niacin for candida. It might very well work for you, but did you perhaps confuse 'niacin' with 'biotin', a well-recognized and used remedy even to many MDs?

In the yeast form, Candida reproduces by "budding", and at this stage is usually not invasive. However, in the mycelia or fungal stage, it forms long, "rootlike" structures that can penetrate the mucus membranes. Biotin, as a supplement, will discourage transformation to the invasive myceloid form of Candida. This explains why so many people who have a chronic, severe sinus infection have so much trouble getting rid of it! It is progressed to the mycelial form, and so is literally 'rooted' in there. As for dosage, searches show anywhere claiming from 2 X 500 microgram twice daily, to many saying you need 2 X 2500 microgram or even 2 X 5000 microgram capsules twice per day. This high dose will of course be only in the interim while you kill off the much nastier rooted mycelial form.


Candida Symptoms
Posted by Tommy (North York, On, Canada) on 08/19/2010

Hi everyone, Doctors aren't of great help and I feel a kind of pain over my left diaphragm and in my back. When I wake up in the morning, my tongue is coated with white thing ( Candida probably), and when I eat a food the white coat goes away and then comes back. I put oregano oil directly on my tongue and I saw in the mirror the white spot loosing its form ( Candida dying??). I started with hydrogen peroxide but sometimes I vomit. I don't know if there is a solution to this side effect. Also sometimes I do experience heart palpitations and I don't know if this is due to Candida or something else. I realized before that when I used to eat the jelly pudding, I felt that somethings is squeezing inside my esophagus and stomach. Could that be Candida or somethings else? Thank you very much and God bless you.

Could be candida. I have candida, and I have similar pain in my left diaphram and back. It is from gas/bloating, and also having so much tension in the area over years. You may wish to go see a doctor or naturopath about the vomiting and palpitations. You may also want to do an endoscopy. Thanks for the tip about the oregano oil. Good luck

Hi, I just wonder which medication did you take or supplement to deal with your candida? I have all those symptoms and my doctor doesn't believe me for Candida. I have a coated tongue in the morning. I wonder if there is a test to see what is this white coating in the tongue?
Thank you very much.


Candida Symptoms
Posted by Brenda (Morganton, Ga) on 09/27/2010

I have read that a simple test for candida is as follows: First thing in the morning, before brushing teeth or drinking anything, spit into a cup of water. Allow it to sit a while. If the spittle remains floating on top of the water, you do NOT have candida. If it gets "stringy legs" going down into the water, you DO have candida. When I have had candida symptoms, this test has proven true. Also, I have read that if you have a white coated tongue, you have candida. Period.


Candida Symptoms
Posted by Lisa (Waynesboro, Virginia) on 09/28/2010

The candida diet is the most important thing you can do. (no sugar, yeast at all in any foods; no fruit or juices). I have been on the candida diet for 61 days now and have seen much improvement. I'm almost through all of the symptoms. Of great importance for me was undecylenic acid, caprylic acid and a good multi and probiotics. The undecylenic acid was the most critical element; detox can be tough at times, but use hot teas and epsom salt baths. You will feel better!


Candida Symptoms
Posted by Michael (Ny, Not Selected) on 11/19/2010

Its true so no more SUGAR because it's the most important of the avoidance foods to limit in your diet as it directly increases the amount of Candida in your body when it is consumed. There is no way around this one, if you choose to continue to eat sugar on a regular basis you will continue to develop Candida in your body. This includes not just the obvious forms of sugar but also white flour and breads which convert to sugar in the body. Fruits unfortunately need to be removed too, however when you are finally healed from candida cures tips I strongly recommend you get back to eating fruits regularly again. As well as the YEAST because consuming more yeast in your diet when you suffer from Candida will directly encourage Candida growth. This is arguably due to the fact that some believe Candida is capable of assimilating other yeasts and using them to further develop Candida growth.

Also take fresh ginger and horseradish, chamomile/catnip/basil tea (no milk with or before), get some serious exercise, especially lifting your arms above your head, and get enough sleep. No caffeine or stimulants, coffee, chocolate, dairy, gluten...


Candida Symptoms
Posted by Aleena (Dallas, Tx) on 01/16/2011

You can't know the relief that I felt knowing that I found someone like myself. I don't know how long I've had candida, but seeing as how it can occur when hormones change, it could be that I've had it for 7 years. I was put on birth control when I was younger to regulate my hormones, but it seems to have caused more damage rather than having fixed anything.

My symptoms are as follows: I became constipated. And I don't mean occasionally, or having a few less BM, at my worst I had a single BM every 2 weeks. My memory started to falter. Being a person who has photographic memory, this was incredibly evident. My joints ached. I had been very athletic and suddenly I found myself moving slower and struggling to keep up with my fellow athlethes, where I had previously had been on varsity. My skin changed. I have olive skin, but over the years, my skin lightened, and rather than getting a nice tan when I was outside, I began to develope splotches. My eyesight, seemingly overnight, got worse and all of the sudden each eye doctor says that I must have pre-mature glaucoma because the pressure in my eyes is very high. I have a white coated tongue. At one point in time I fell incredibly ill and the symptoms that worried me most were the constant sulfuric burps.

Now what may be a little shocking to all of you, is that I'm just 20. I never had any say what we ate because we ate what my father could afford, but I think that may be one of the main contributors. I want to get rid of whatever it is I have. I hate feeling this way, and if I knew that I had had some sort of infestation I would have done whatever means necessary to cure it. I love this website and I will begin treatment immediately, however I have a concern. I have receieved the wonderful news that I'm pregnant with my first child. What treatments can I do while I'm pregnant? Please, help from anyone would be great and very much appreciated.

Ginger Tea

★★★★★

I am 36 yr. Old female curing my candida with ginger root tea. I use 2 tablespoons of peeled and diced ginger root steeped in 2 cups of boiling water. I drink this tea twice a day (morning/night.) It stops the growth of candida and cleanses the system as well. I happened upon a clinical study that showed ginger as an effective fighter against fungal infections and thought I would try it. I am pleased with how I am feeling after one week of my trial. My spit tests are coming out clear every morning and I do not seem to be suffering any die off effects (ginger has me eliminating 3 times a day, remaining solid as well)I am sleeping well, have more energy, can think clearly, and pain has almost gone completely.


Candida Detoxing Symptoms

Bill - Re Your Updated Candida Protocol:

I have the symptoms that you experienced with Candida (constipation, eczema, dandruff, insomnia, sweet cravings, nail fungus). My urine and saliva is alkaline even though I don't eat a good diet. I have been doing Iodine, borax, sodium ascorbate, Sodium Thiosulfate, for fungus and metals. I'm alkaline but still have all the symptoms?

Posted by Joe (Wpb, Florida) on 07/31/2010

Bill: So the citrate remedies are more for intracellular alkalizing tested by our saliva?
Does it matter when you take the BS / lemon?
For extracellular what is some of the best common remedies?
Can one use BS, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium citrate combo for alkalizing extracellular?
Thank you so much Bill:)

Candida Detoxing Symptoms
Posted by Joe (Wpb, Florida) on 08/01/2010

Is Intracellular remedies more related to alkalizing for acid brain? BS, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium citrate or BS and lemon. I think the acid brain is suspect with insomnia b/c I've been doing what Ted says with insomnia: removed all halogen exposures, 12.5mg Iodine daily, no emf's, , ,
How much of the lemon do you squeeze? (2 tablespoons )
I think the insomnia may be making me lose weight or the remedies have facilitated the krebs cycle with me thus, the weight loss.

Hi Peter... Yes, you can add the magnesium citrate to baking soda without problems. I add magnesium chloride to ascorbates as well as baking soda quite often. To check compatibility of compounds for mixing -- have a look at this link to Ted's List: https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/remedy-combinations.html#TED

Posted by Bill (San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines) on 08/03/2010

Hi Joe... In answer to your questions:

Is Intracellular remedies more related to alkalizing for acid brain?

The lemon/lime and carbicarb remedies are perhaps the most balancing for your body and when you make the carbicarb remedies with citric acid, this seems to have more of an alkalizing effect on the brain. I was a bit of an insomniac and now I tend to use both the BS and lemon/lime remdies as well as carbicarb remedies in the evening depending on how I feel. And whenever I make the lemon/lime and BS remedies I always add a little bit extra BS to ensure an alkaline medium(the water). And if I need it more alkaline then I will add a little sodium or potassium carbonate instead.

How much of the lemon do you squeeze?

I squeeze the whole lemon, and if it is a small lemon then I squeeze 2 lemons and then add the BS. I'm quite tolerant of baking Soda, since I've been using it for a number of years now. I also take BS alone in water when necessary, useful for keeping your blood alkaline. That's the way I do it anyway and I've never had a bad reaction.

Posted by Betsy (Virginia ) on 06/28/2023

Hi Bill - I'm not new to Earth Clinic but this is my first post. How often should the alkalizing remedies be done? Daily? Weekly? I ask because I tend to become quite acidic if I don't use at least the baking soda/water at least every other day. This morning I'm trying the lemon/baking soda remedy to see if perhaps that will keep me in the balanced range longer. Has that been your experience? Thanks!


Coconut Oil
Posted by Joyful (Memphis, Tn, Usa) on 07/07/2010

I've cooked with raw/organic/un-refined virgin coconut oil a tad, and I use it liberally in my personal care products. However, I gag whenever I try to injest it. Aside from the overall health benefits, I am curious about this oil because I am dealing with candida overgrowth. I am currently taking probiotics and enzymes from a reputable company, using raw ACV in my water daily, and I will start taking garlic (with allicin) capsules soon. Would it be necessary to consume VCO if I'm doing the other things mentioned above for candidiasis? Are there even coconut oil capsules out there?! Thanks in advance!

Coconut Oil
Posted by Randy (Jc, Nj) on 11/30/2010

You can take capryllic acid instead, which is the main active substance in VCO that kills the yeast

EC: VCO= virgin coconut oil

Hi, I am a 61 year old female and have broken out in a rash all over, legs, arms, etc. I have osterperosis in the hips and should take calcium. I have acid reflux expecially in the evening. I have high blood pressure. Vaginal dryness that will not stop even though I am taking vagifem. I have a white tongue. What do you suggest?


Coconut Oil
Posted by Carly (Seattle, Wa - Usa) on 02/08/2011

Hi Melissa - I take Boron (3mg a day) Magnesium 400mg a day, and a Calcium MAYBE every other day... Maybe. I also be taking Organic Virgin Coconut oil at 3 tbsp a day (starting at one tablespoon, and working up to three tablesoons, SLOWLY so as to not upset my digestive system too much). Boron builds bone, and Magnesium is needed by so many bodily functions... VCO is a GREAT thyroid balancing agent. I also add turmeric to my coffee / VCO (coconut oil) concoction every morning.

Aside from that I also take ACV at one ounce (a shot glass full) in a glass of water and a splash of orange juice every morning.

You might want to also look at taking DIM (google it - DIM) and a good natural progesterone cream. Just suggestions per what you said your age and symptons are... Great for balancing out those damned estrogens that can make our bodies get so whacked out.

I am turning 50 this month, and these are the things I have found helpful for me.

Also - a great (beyond great, and AWESOME book actually) to read is "Breakthrough" by Suzanne Somers. Yes, Suzanne Somers.... The woman is VERY intelligent!!!!!

Good luck to you, and if nothing else, just "google" the individual elements I have mentioned to see if they look like something your body may be needing.... One of them may just be something you will be very happy to have found! Carly :-)

I was having a hard time with my health and couldn't quite figure out what I had going on, and after some reading I figured out I had candida in my intestines (I fit the symptoms to a T ) so I started with the cold pressed coconut oil about 2 to 4 spoons a day and I am all but cured of all of my symptoms, I also started taking Apple Cider Vinegar at the same time and a strong probiotic... My health is great and I lost 5 lbs which were those last 5 that are so hard to shed, lost some puffy-ness too :) VERY happy... Thank you Earth Clinic!


Baking Soda, Lemon Juice, Coconut Oil

So quick question, do you ingest the lemon juice, baking soda combo and the coconut oil or apply it directly to your skin? I'm going to give this one a try.

EC: Most likely ingesting... The lemon juice & baking soda added to water is one of Ted's alkalizing remedies: https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/alkalizing_formulas.html

Hi Kenzie, Just wanted to say congratulations on taking your health back! And for seeing through the medical world for what it is today. I agree about the "dark times" of the medical industry but also the factory farming, processed food industry that feeds the people lies as well as about what they "need". Still, I have hope- I see more and more people waking up to the lies they've been fed and a desire to find answers.

Onto more positive notes, have you heard of David Wolfe? His parents were both mds and he saw the same thing. He is at the forefront of the alternative health movement, raw food movement, superfoods, etc. He orchestrates The Longevity Conference which took place a couple of months ago in Long Beach, CA and another which is scheduled here again in LA for Sept 2010. I have learned so much from amazing people that I have learned from him and that have turned my life around. You can hear him speaking on youtube at all sorts of events, on his own in interviews and in conjunction with others at the front of this healing movement. I am telling you all this because it may spark in you which way you would want to take your career that would make a real difference in educating the people about their health and truly healing rather than just using pharmaceuticals to cover up symptoms and duping the people. You will discover some amazing people through watching him.

I hope this helps. Peace to you, Lisa

Fasting
Posted by Travis (Chicago, Il) on 04/24/2010

Hi I just went to get my blood checked and she said I had a lot of yeast. I wanted to know if I like fast on nothing but water (bottled) will that kill the yeast. I want to do five days but I think i'm willing to try to go longer.When she first examined the single drop of blood she said I have poor digestion which I do. She also said my antioxidant levels were low and that I had quite a bit of uric acid. She recommend a good multi, digestive enzymes, reservatrol, and a fungal cleanse. She also said my blood was acidic. I guess I just want some help with the fasting (my idea)and the supplements. Can I use supplements while fasting?? I would also like to oil pull, is this okay??

Fasting
Posted by Lisa (Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa) on 04/26/2010

Hi Travis, Bravo to you for wanting to do something about your condition! You certainly can fast on water but you might want to consider doing a green juice fast. That will help facilitate the alkalinizing of your body which will in turn help to rid your body of the candida. Personally, I wouldn't take supplements while fasting and as far as enzymes go, if you're fasting with green juices you will get lots of enzymes! You will nourish your body with loads of antioxidants as well. And have all the deliciousness of green veggies. If you're unsure of how to make green juices there are several sites online that offer combinations. Just google green juices and you'll find them. We just do our own combinations. Remember too, you can throw some garlic in there as it is one of the most powerful antibiotic, antifungal there is. It has been found to be significantly powerful in ridding the body of candida.

I want to also let you know that you can have strong symptoms as you cleanse because of the die-off. They can be flu-like symptoms. If it gets too uncomfortable, consider going slower.

I too had poor digestion before I started juicing on a daily basis but that righted me and I continue because I have seen such immense benefits. Also, consider adding in cultured veggies which you can get at a health food store. Whole Foods carries them in the refrigerated section where the pickles are. These can help restore the good flora in your gut that will help rebalance your body. If you do these two things, you will not need a store bought fungal cleanse which can be quite expensive and really have a lot of marketing around them.

When you end your fast, work to change your eating habits so that you will feel better and remain healthy. I hope this info helps you to get started. Take care, Lisa

Thanks so much Lisa for responding!! I am looking for a good cheap juicer now. It is very very hard to eat with candida, everything has sugar in it.This is the hardest thing I think I've ever done. I dont feel better after the fasting I must admit, maybe the juicing will be better. Any more suggestions???

Turmeric Stopped My Candida

Since taking an antibiotic a few months ago, I have been plagued with a Candida overgrowth in my bladder. So painful, and I couldn't leave home. I was taking natural anti-fungals, expensive probiotics, and following the pesky (but helpful) Candida diet.

Then I had a bad flare-up of arthritis, and remembering that turmeric worked wonders with that before, I ate curries for two weeks straight. (Fortunately I love curries!)

Anyway, not only did my arthritis symptoms abate significantly, but my Candida symptoms disappeared!

I can discontinue the expensive probiotics, or at least take less of them, and I don't have to stay strictly on the Candida diet, so long as I have turmeric in some form at least five days a week. I have just learned about turmeric tea, which means I can eat other types of meals besides curry all the time! And, it's great to be able to go out and about again without diving for bathrooms all the time.

I use the tumeric for my candida too, but to cure the candida you have to heal the gut. You can do that with aloe gel and fermented foods, as well as eliminating any toxins/allergens, both food and chemical, that are exascerbating the problem.

Black tongue due to candida detox?

Hello, I am 32 years old, living in western europe, Belgium. I am truly happy to have found this website and got very enthusiastic on the remedies and exchange of experiences. As I wrote before thanks a lot for existing!

I started one month and a half to drink every morning a glass of hot water, apple cider vinegar, black strap molasses and turmeric. In the evenings, I usually drink a glass of warm water with acv, baking soda and some honey for taste. I felt better, but I have to mention I went slowly in upgrading the amount of AVC. I felt great, share the same experiences, it helped me to get rid of the morning coffee. I also have a balanced diet with lots of veggies, fruit, fish and I avoid (but not totaly eliminate) wheat products and sugar. I am just not very rigid in saying no but limit this to two times a week.

I lost 3 kg since I started doing this.

Now, since one week, I am at home from work with what seems a big flu. I was aware that I could get some flu-like symptoms from detox, but it is very cold, wet and just the season for flu so nothing wrong with getting a flu. I added some cayenne pepper and think I am doing allright.

What does bother me tough is this: now I have a black tongue. I rince with hydrogen peroxide (what I learned from this site), brush well, drink a lot of water, clean my tongue with a scraper, etc... I had to go to my regular dokter for prescribing me some more days because I still have headaches and suffer from fatigue. So I asked her what it could be. She said "candida" in the mouth and prescribed me daktarin oral, to fight the fungus in my mouth.

What to think about this? Is it my body in detox trying to get rid of the candida? Should I be more severe in stopping all wheat and sugar (which are already very limited)? Should I not take this dakarin or is it recommended? Do i risk just fighting the symptoms and not the cause? I don't know. The only think I do know is that I sincerely lack energy now. Today I skipped my usual health cocktail, maybe I was detoxing too fast... I must keep on working tough, I can not permit myself to stay at home and go into detox all the way. Please help me out... Must do something wrong OR do this very well... I am confused.

Thanks a lot for your responses!

Karen.

Bill from the philippines:

Thanks a lot for your answer. I hadn't read the posts on candida yet but did so this morning and I came across your post as well. Especially the confirmation that flu-like symptoms can occur reassured me. So I took my acv, blackstrap molasses, tumeric and cayenne-drink as usual in the mornings. I also take often (and will increase) a spoon of pure coconut oil and went to the health store today for grape seeds extract (which is really expensive over here - but I got lucky I found it). I am looking forward for results. The only thing I am not sure of is whether to take the anti-candida oral get the doc prescribed... Could this speed up the proces and could this be helpful? Or should I say no to this traditional medicine? .. I ask this question because I've seen a site from someone with chronic fatgue who is cured of candida and in the end completely cured buy eating natural healthy foods, but she recommended this so I guess it could be helpful... The thing is that I am working and really need this money, can't afford to go into this kind of deep detox again, .... Yeah I know... Thanks for answering my question, what do you (and other readers) think?


Candida Detoxing Symptoms
Posted by Bill (San Fernando, Philippines) on 02/09/2010

Hi Karen...A black tongue can also be caused by :

* Smoking

* Using antacids frequently like Pepto-bismol (for upset stomach) and others that are based on bismuth chemicals -- such as bismuth subsalicylate.

* Over-use of antibiotics.

* Candida infection -- although in most mouth candida/thrush infections the tongue is white or patchy white, with thick and sour-tasting sputum.

To Bill from San Fernando, Philippines.

Hi, Thank you very much for you feedback and I'm very happy to hear that some people really do win the battle against Candida, it encourages us to continue the treatment, however, I have a few questions to adress to you, one of them is about Ted's Alkalizing diet:

How could you make your body Alkaline? It's impossible. Death will occur if the ph of the blood is other than its range which is 7±0,4. The homeostatie will always try to keep the optimal ph of the body.

You can verify in all the scientific articls and you will never find such Alkaline body or acidic body. Alkalosis or acidos are two deadly disease when the ph of the body is other than 7,4±0,1.

I can understand a diet low of carbohydrates but I couldn't understand the myth about Alkaline or Acidic blood.

Also, some readers put an accent about cellulase which some companies claims it will kill candida. That is an abvious big lie. Candida Albican has no cellulose in its membrane, the main ingrdients are chitin, ergosterol, B-glucan.

I will appreciate your response.

Thank you very much.

Hi Labes... I could also perhaps produce many logical arguments as to why alkalizing works so well as well as provide links to many websites that support and explain how alkalizing works towards body health.

But the way I see it, there are already hundreds of entries by Ted from Bangkok on EC that adequately and thoroughly explain the chemistry of body alkalizing far better than I could ever describe it.

Ted from Bangkok is a University educated chemist/microbiologist who has worked for many years in the US food and medical sectors as a chemist. He probably has more knowledge about drugs, herbs, minerals and vitamins in his two little thumbs than I have in my brain...LOL. Ted is now a healer, and a very successful one.

All I know is that Ted's simple alkalizing remedies had an astonishing effect on my candida. I also took VCO, molasses etc which helped, but it was really the alkalizing that drove out the candida as far as I was concerned. And, along with candida, my psoriasis, eczma, bloating, low energy, athletes foot etc. also completely cleared up.

I could argue this and that with you about Ted's Alkalizing Remedies and it would probably go on for ever. I prefer not to do that, achieves so little. If you don't believe in alkalizing that's OK.

For myself, I really find it unnecessary to prove anything, because I feel so much healthier now and this is my only evidence -- by observation of the results of alkalizing against candida in my own body -- which, to me, needs no arguing. It worked and is self-evident.

I also know about drugs like Nystatin, Threelac etc for candida. I never tried them because I didn't particularly want to use them because their side-effects can be pretty awful.

Your comment about the hype on drugs that contain cellulase being so effective against candida is well taken and is yet another reason why I really don't use drugs unless I absolutely have too. Because it's so difficult to trust the drugs companies. It has been well known for many years that alkalizing helps the body. Here is one interesting example -- how Dr Orian Truss discovered one of the most effective cures against candida -- lugol's iodine (which is very alkaline):

Dr Orian Truss and Iodine

Good luck.

Posted by Labes (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) on 06/23/2010

Thank you very much Mr Bill for the fast reply. My first comment about Ted's Alkalizing remedy was not about its effectiveness against Candida, but about Alkalizing the body. I will be very happy to have from you some scientific articles about the body or the blood being Alkiline. Beleive me, I'm even reading physiological reference to find such claim about the possibility to rise the Ph of the body above or below 7.1±0,4. I couldn't find one.

Why I asked such questions is because of my sickness due to Candida ( Which I believe I got it from abusing antibiotics). Also, because I couldn't accept the Alkalizing theory doesn't mean I didn't accept the remedy. Why? because the remedy ( lemon bicarbonate) could have a effectivness against Candida directly or indirectly that has nothing to do with the Ph of the body.

The other reason why I'm sceptical about the ph theory is because some bacteria use their urease enzyme to make their enviromnent Alkaline like H.pylori.

Thank you very much for the link of doctor Orian Truss. I did try lugol's solution but it doesn't help much.

Thank you very much. God bless you.

Hi Bill, thank you again for thr reply.

I have read that Japaneze plum can rises the Ph of the body, a theory that I don't believe till now, could I use them agaist candida then? Do you have any idea about those plums and their activities against candida?

Also, I need some references that talk about how to control candida with body ph?

Hi Labes...Thanks for your reply. In answer to your question:

Also, I need some references that talk about how to control candida with body ph?"

In my last post to you, I provided many suggested remedies for your candida, along with 10 links which both described the efficacy and safety of these remedies. But apparently you will only be satisfied or convinced by standard medical research, which is very unfortunate because even if you search all the recognized databases like Medline and PubMed (which are both controlled by the big drugs companies), you won't find much on these remedies or on alkalinity. I know, I've it tried too.

I have spent much time using Google Scholar, which ONLY searches research databases and have found very little on the usefulness of alkalization or much info on the remedies I've mentioned. I was frustrated with this, so, due to my suspicions, I applied some reverse logic. I knew that drugs like Vioxx and Gardasil could kill and were very dangerous, so I searched for Vioxx on these respected medical databases and lo and behold I found many glowing accounts from research papers on Vioxx. Vioxx has recently been taken thru the courts, and it has been proved that this drug has killed about 26,000 people from iatrogenic heart attacks through Vioxx use. By the way, Vioxx has not been withdrawn and is still being sold out there.

The lesson here is simple. Be very careful what you believe, and be careful of what info sources you trust. If you read a research paper then the second thing you do is find out who funded the research, and if it is one of the Drug Giants, then simply ignore it. However, if the research is independently funded -- ie not funded by the drug companies, then you can, perhaps believe it.

There is also much spoiler research out out there by the drugs companies. A wonderful example of this is the Wolff-Chaikoff research report and criticism of Abraham/Browntsein's recent iodine research. In their rebuttal, Drs Abraham and Brownstein completely demolished the Wolff-Chaikoff iodine report as unbelieveably amateurish, innaccurate and deliberately badly executed. I'll leave you to Google this evidence for yourself.

I also find it odd that you seem more driven to prove or disprove the alkalization remedies on this site than you are to cure your own candida. As well, I also find it suspicious and odd that you hardly even mention your own candida. Most contributors who have candida usually talk about it willingly, to help other people but you hardly mention it at all. What are your symptoms? And what kind of candida do you have? Is it Cutaneous Candida, Oral Candida, Intestinal Candida or Systemic Candida?

I wish you luck with your Umeboshi Pickle and I hope you find the answers that you are looking for.

Hi Bill, Thank you very much for the reply.

Don't get me wrong. I just want to understand the theory and believe me I do believe you when you say that it healed you. I.m taking the same remedy as you describe before: lemon bicarb in 8oz of distilled water.

My symptoms are bloating even after eating very small meal, Jack-Itch, very very low energy, constipation and depression sometimes.

I apologize if I did hurt your feeling when I asked you those questions.

Have a nice day.

Labes, with those symptoms have you considered a gluten-free diet trial? I'd do that for 2 months and see if you notice improvement. It can be tricky at first to make such a big dietary change but it is certainly not impossible. Just be very careful about hidden sources of gluten (and you cannot cheat by even a single crumb!). Tons of info on the net to help and many GF products now available. If you try this, please do let us know if it helped you at all. Best of luck!

Hi T from Maryland, USA.

Thank you very much for your reply. I'm just living day to day with stomach pain and those horrible bloating even if I just eat salad. Also constipation is horrible. I'm not working because I feel like a death living with very vey low energy.

I'm now on a gluten free diet but there is no big improvement. I eat just once a day salad with some eggs. I don't touch bread or any cereal products.

Last year I changed my doctor because of heart palpitations and jumping heart and he gave me H.pylori test, it came back positive. He prescribed for me Hpac for one week. I felt great for 2 weeks and then all the symptoms came back worst then before. 3 months after than my specialist did a endoscopy with a biopsy to see if H.pylori is still there, he said that there was no H.pylori. He couldn't find it in my stomach.

One thing I don't understand is why I felt good for the week when I used the Hpac agaisnt H.pylori and why the symptoms came back after than worst than before. I was trying to find if the antibiotics can kill the fungus during the begining of the treatment but I couldn't find one. The other mystery is if I became H.pylori free after the Hpac why I still have the pain? It is a big dilemma for me.That let me think of Candida as an issue and not H.pylori. Since that time, I started taking probiotics and sticking to the atkin's diet. I'm so skinny now. But I still have the problem.

Thank you T for your time and your help.

Hi Labes from Toronto, Ontario, Canada

For your Candida you should try colloidal silver. Your Candida has probably turned into systemic fungi now and it will take a while to clear it up. You have to look in the Web to see what you have to avoid eating to get rid of it. No grains, limited fruits, no sugar, avoid dairy, etc. You can eat most vegetables and meat but not with sugared sauces or floured sauces. Its difficult to get rid of but the silver will be a big help and help you avoid other infections as well. Look up both. You have to get rid of it or it will do you in in the long run. I talk from experience. Good luck

Hi Bill,

I'm happy to know that you are doing well after your struggle with candida. I just want to ask you if you had a white coated tongue and also if you experienced a constant stomach pain at the upper abdomen?

Thank you very much.


Candida Detoxing Symptoms
Posted by Bill (San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines) on 08/23/2010

Hi Tommy... When I had candida I had a white tongue but no stomach problems. I also had constant bloating and constant constipation. Don't forget that candida sufferers can have between 20-30 different symptoms -- and no two candida sufferer's symtoms will ever be exactly the same. For instance, one person with candida might have constant constipation(like I had) but another might have loose stools or constant diarrhea. I have also read many posts here with people who think they only have oral candida or thrush when they have a white tongue. But if they also have other fungal skin problems like psoriasis, dandruff, eczma, athletes foot or jock itch or intestinal problems as well, then I would immediately assume that systemic candida is present and treat it accordingly. The dangers and robustness of Candida should never be underestimated.

I have found that coconut capsules are the greatest supplement to combat constipation. Plus, they are anti-fungal. I can't take VCO orally, it gives me gerd. The capsules are little miracle workers! I have probably bought every supplement known to mankind. I wish I had bought this one first.

I have a question/concern about supplementation because it seems to me that since Candida is a digestive tract issue, doesn't it interfer with the absorption of anything you ingest? Does anyone suggest it is a good idea to get tests on your vitamin levels so you can judge how well you are absorbing what you do take and maybe adjust dosages upwards or downwards? Do you think this could be an answer to those of us who try an internal protocol which might not have worked? Thank you for your time.

ACV, in addition to clearing up candida is excellent in bringing the body's ph into balance. Often the body becomes too acidic and becomes sensitive to aliments such as this. I use ACV often to maintain a healthy ph.

Posted by Carriedove (Lost Angeles, Ca) on 08/07/2010

Actually, this is about the baking soda/apple cider vinegar/lemon yeast cure. I have a very very very bad allergy to all glutens.. Including corn. I recently learned baking soda contained or was made from corn when I had a horrible reaction to some gluten free cookies and for the life of me could not figure out the reason. Baking soda.. Was the reason. So, I highly highly suspect I have candida. The amount of classic symptoms I have are too many, including severe digestion and sinus issues since I was a little girl. Severe is an understatement. Chronic fatigue, ear issues, sore throats and recently severe lack of focus and much fogginess. Can This Ted person recommend a substitute for the cure containing baking soda... Please.. For a desperate person. I know Candida causes allergies, but we cannot cure it if I have a severe allergic reaction to the baking soda first.. And my intestines severely and catastrophically shut down, which is what typically happens. Also this boric acid, peroxide face thing. I cannot find a recipe for this or a step by step on how you are supposed to use it. (Recent red marks on face which seem to be a reaction to EVERYTHING... Sunscreen, powder, any type of makeup, face wash.. Etc. )

Carriedove, I lead a gluten free life and I can tell you that absolutely for sure, there is NO gluten in corn! I would know because I have bad reactions to all gluten sources. Go do some research and you will see, corn is gluten-free.... Thank God because I can eat corn pasta, corn bread and corn on the cob.... I hope you find out what else it is that you are allergic to... But its n-o-t the gluten in corn. Db

Adequate Chewing of Food

I think this is a good suggestion and not something that comes easy to me I always eat fast, people comment on it too it is obvious when they finish after me always, they say you ate fast I say why not tell me when you notice I am! I have had digestion problems and candida for years so it's a worth a try, I should be doing it anyhow.


Adequate Chewing of Food
Posted by Karen (Henderson, Nv) on 09/24/2010

I also eat fast, have candida but also have leaky gut which is made worse by not chewing my food enough. This then caused tons of food allergies because the food particles get into the body cavity and decay producing toxins along with the candida toxins. This then causes a series of other problems for me. Hashimotos thyroidis, endometriosis, fibroids, PMS, Acne, brain fog, bad memory, insomnia, fibro, chronic fatigue and more so its really important to chew, chew chew. Still trying to fix all these problems. Whew

Hi there, I started oil pulling with sesame oil about 10 days and it has been great so far. After 2-3 days, my BM increased and I got worried about my gluten intolerance but figured out it was the effect of oil pulling. I am also experiencing a sinus mucus draining so for the first days, I even quit my sinus rinse because my sinus was getting cleared with oil pulling. Now, things have changed. Anyway, on this forum I learned that coconut oil is another great oil and that I can also take it internally. I researched and now have a nice jar of coconut oil. All my life, I had issues with my digestive system and I started having reflux at age 12 maybe before.

I took a table spoon of coconut oil and wow what a bad nausea I experienced! It kept me away from food yesterday.

Today, I took baking soda in water before breakfast (thanks Ted) and had breakfast about 20 minutes later. I started eating cucumber one of the rare food that helps me with acid reflux. But had 2 small slice of gluten free bread with olive oil and almond better.

I really want to do something about candida because it can only be that that is keeping me behind. I am gluten free for 3 months and even though I feel much better I still don't have all my energy back.

I don't use sugar anywhere but I love fruits. My favourite fruits of the moment are pommegrenade, pinneaple and banana. I tried other fruits too. I have heard tht the diet for candida means no fruits at all. Is that right?
How long should I stay away from them?

I don't mind a paleo diet aka veggies meat with some rice because that's how I feel the best. Almost anything else causes me reflux as soon as I have more than 3 spoon and sometimes even with very little food.

Here is my plan when I start my candida treatment:

-Take things slowly and then increase treatment
-Use coconut oil, oil of oregano, garlic, cloves, ginger and a few other things I read about.
-Alkalize my system by eating veggies like kale, cucumber celery lemon. I love the juice I make with kale cucumber and pineapple with lemon but don't know if pineaple will be a bad choice since it is a fruit.
-I snake with nuts like almond and seeds like sunflower seeds. I wonder if I should avoid the salt I know it is as good as non salty. Also, should I avoid pistachio because they are acidic and not like almond.

I also have reaction to different foods unless it is not the food but the combination. So I am thinking of eliminating eggs, soya, corn, caffeine whiteners I tried even almond milk and coconut milk. It is ok the first time but because I like having my caffeine after my meal, I ended up having reflux.

Any of suggestions will be appreciated. I need help with the coconut oil and how I can stand keep using... I never like its smell. Also, can I mix all the ingredient like coconut, oil of oreganno, garlic, clove etc and use it as a one time treatment? I drink chai tea where I put cardamone and cinnemon with clove are these other spices good for candida? These days even black tea can give me reflux should I stop the tea too?

Sorry for the long message and thank you.

Fruits are an absolute no if you have candida. Pineapple and banana contain big amounts of sugar, which would feed the yeast.

You should differentiate between foods that cause the actual die-off and foods that only make feel you worse. To experience a die-off, I recommend you try eating one whole coconut in the morning and fasting until evening. You should get a nasty headache. Or you could try eating raw cabbage and drinking chamomile tea afterwards. This is what had caused die-off for me. I had a severe headache, shivers and fever. Another way to cause it could be eating a lot of kimchi exclusively (Korean fermented cabbage) and fasting for several hours. Observe your body and remember what this die-off feels like.

Another time eat some bananas and a pineapple. This time you will feel very bad but it won't be a cleansing die-off. It will be very different. For me, it was UTI (urinary tract infection), absolute lack of energy and a very uncomfortable dry throat feeling. You should avoid foods that give you such a reaction.

If you want food that combines many antifungals, I recommend you Indian curries. In one curry you can have garlic, onions, coconut milk, turmeric, clove, cinnamon and many other antifungal spices.

Above all, do your research. I recommend you read this website. It is a wonderful source of medical information about candida and its treatment. http://janus.net.pl/Candida Fungi.htm

Posted by Bill (San Fernando) on 12/28/2014

Hi Marcin...Great post and I agree with all you say. I also find it odd that many doctors as well as many alternative healers recommend staying off "spicy food" to stay healthy. Yet Indian curries, as you rightly say, contains many beneficial spices and herbs that act to promote the health of particularly your intestines.

I even know certain people that cannot eat spicy food like Indian or Thai curries or Mexican food. They claim that they get "a bad reaction". And they usually always end up blaming the food or the spices and herbs when in actual truth these condiments, unbeknown to these afflicted people who eat them, are actually doing battle with their current candida, parasite or bacterial problems in their gut. And yes, it is an uncomfortable feeling for these people -- and its called a Herx or die-off reaction.

The same may be said for allergies caused by gluten or wheat. These people just seem happy to avoid all wheat and dairy for the rest of their lives. But these allergic people never seem to ask the obvious question -- "Why do I have these allergies whereas other people I know can eat as much dairy and wheat as they like?". These allergies are usually due to all the damage caused in their intestines by ongoing invisible pathogens in their gut like candida, parasites and bacteria. Invisible = Undiagnosed. These allergy problems can also be caused by low stomach acid - which also encourage rampant infections in the gut. Don't they want to be cured?

When people taking the anti-candida protocol ask me "When will I know that I am cured ?", I generally tell them that they will be properly cured when they feel much better and when they can eat anything they like in normal healthy amounts -- which includes sugar, wheat, dairy, Indian curries and Mex food. That's the test. Any other result is not a cure -- but is just managing the symptoms, which is what doctors regularly practice with their drugs. And that's a big fail in my book.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

I am a 46 year old male who has had the symptoms of Candida for about 15 years. I started with severe bouts of sinusitis for which the doctor prescribed repeat prescriptions of antibiotics. I was on and off these for about 1-2 years until I came to my senses and realised I was not getting better. However, by this time I had developed mood swings and heart palpations and was constantly admitted to hospital to undergo cardiac tests and low and behold they all showed I was extremely fit and healthy at least cardically. The story goes on as many of the sufferers with this problem have outlined until I turned to alternative therapies and one reoccurring condition kept coming up which was candida. Now it seems like I am in the fight of my life I just can't seem to get this thing under control.

Currently:-

Taking 3 x 1250mg garlic tablets daily.
1 x 350mg caprylic acid tablet (not enteric coated)
3 x 500mg echnicea purpurea
4 cups of java tea
pure olive oil with seasame seed.
3/4 probiotics 100 million organisms at time of
manufacture
1 1/2 litres of water per day approx.
restrictive diet (have lost 4 kgs in 3 weeks)
fennel seeds in tea to clear gas.

I have now been on this regime for about one month. The first 3 days I felt 200% better then something must have changed or I did something differently because I am still feeling very weak and understrength. Blood pressure has dropped from 130/90 with pulse at 54 to around 118/75 and pulse 75. Weight was 80.4 kg and is now 76.1 Kg.

As I am working in the MiddleEast I have not got access to all the various things that I would like such as lughol's solution which is banned as in most countries.

I have been following the posts with interest and especially Teds from Thailand. I would be grateful for some clear and sound advise as there is also a lot of contradictory statements or at least it appears so, but my own feeling is that this condition is a monster that can change and affect each person in a different way.

My diet consists of proteins derived from meat and poultry (no pork). I occasionally use minimal honey (one teaspoon a day) in my tea, I have barley porridge every two days. I eat vegetables and recommended fruits.

Oh, one thing after the first month of this routine I tried to introduce cream cheese and went into body shock and had to take a week of work. I woke up shivering although the temp was 33 centigrade, I had to put on two thick jumpers and three blankets to get warm.

I can smell the yeast on my skin and the eczema on my foot is still there with only a slight improvement also
my sinusitis has improved dramatically.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who can give salient advice in this matter.

questions:

1. How long should I continue this routine?
2. Can I find a compromise to lughol's solution.

I do not know if this will help,,but I am a diabetic my self so I have dietary challenges also...If you are fighting candida then it might help if you eat a low low carbohydrate diet. That might starve it out..I might be wrong I did not take time to research it,,but stop eating starchy foods, sweet fruits, no bread. for a few days eat meats, green vegtables a little cheese, no milk no juice. Try it for a few days,,,It certainly is not a diet to stay on,,but it might kill back the population or strength of the candida. Merryanne

Martin UK leads first because candida is very flexible stop and make cycles... 4 days garlic lot of, then stop 1 day. Then 4 days caprilic acid, oregano oil and in the middle east you can find plenty of antifungal herbs.. Now the most important is to protect your liver for die off chemicals of candida.. Take liver protection herbs milk thistle, artichoke, blessed thistle, akorus kalamus... dandelion, NAC(N-ACETYLOCYSTEINE), VIT B5, PINE BARK tea(you cant do it your own) and calendula tea...

There is much more but you must know it when to take ....

I am a candida-asthma suffer too.


Yogurt

Yogurt for candida - If you are feeding yogurt try to find a "greek" yogurt. There is much less sugar in greek type yogurt than any other- even organic yogurt has excess sugar which feeds the yeast.

Search Google for the Candida spit test and try this if you haven't already done so. Not only has my health improved but my spit test results have greatly improved, so I know that at least some of what I have done has worked. I would recommend that read through all the posts on the Candida page and then start writing a Candida diary. This helped me to determine what was having an affect (including foods).

I would much rather you did your own research and devised your own plan of action, however I will the things that I did which I am sure helped in my case:

Lemon and bicarbonate soda drink (or baking soda for the US)
Tiny pinch of borax in 1 litre of water

Vitamins C, B E. Zinc & cod liver oil. Also selenium and Magnesium. I took all of these supplements fairly regularly (2 - 3 times a week) for a few months. This was to address any nutritional deficiencies that might exist as a consequence of the Candida. Also, many of these supplements (esp selenium) are anti fungal.

I also drink blackstrap molasses in water, particularly around my time of the month as it helps. I also drink an apple cider vinegar (with bicarbonate of soda) drink from time to time.

All of the things I mentioned here can be found in this website, so read up on everything carefully and then decide if you want to give anything a try. Good luck.

Great feedback! I have suffered with Candida since I was a child. I had chronic sinus infections and a doctor who was happy to prescribe antibiotics several times a month. The diflucan came next, and I was up to 10 a year, which is awful! This has since caused hormonal imbalances and numerous ovarian cysts as well as insomnia. The classic case I guess you would say.

I have been on a very high end probiotic (candida flora) for months now and have noticed much less bloating and abdominal discomfort. I have just discovered GSE! I am using the nasal spray and the capsules. I am going to try it in a neti pot and make douche next.

Do you have any experience with ACV? I eat very healthy and have a healthy lifestyle.

Thanks again, best feedback so far :)

I have been struggling with candida since a life threatening bout of sceptecaemia some 30 yrs ago. Doctor had me on high doses of anti-biotics for a year to "help my immune system cope". In spite of all my efforts to overcome I am still plagued with debilitating chronic fatigue, heavily coated white tongue, sleep problems, etc.. I am about to try Marvin Lee Robey's protocol of a thorough colon cleanse followed by treatment for 2 weeks with ionic silver and hydrogen peroxide. Apparently 2 weeks is all it usually takes though some bad cases may require up to 5 weeks. I feel really confident about this therapy and will keep you informed about my progress.

Low Fat Diet, MMS
Posted by Teresa (Winston Salem, Nc) on 08/09/2009
★★★★★

I just want to encourage others to stay on a pretty strict low fat diet while killing candida and other beasties. I have had candida for many years and have tried the lowfat raw diet and am now taking MMS in addition to it. I am only up to seven drops but so fat so good, no side effects yet. I think I am feeling well because of staying lowfat this means only fruit and vegetables and rice cakes and sprouted grain breads, etc. Everyone who has researched candida treatment knows most people say stay away from sugar but I learned that the sugar can't feed the beasties on lowfat diet on the internet. I have had very good success with it but I still get symptomatic if I slip and eat to much fat, thus I am using MMS to help kill it off. I am convinced that these two together will make and are making a huge difference. While I don't eat all raw, the MMS and lowfat high raw diet are making a big difference. Also, it is important to normalize your ph and this diet with MMS will do that. I have read that the beasties cannot live in an alkaline environment.
