I’ve tried to fight my candida in the past, only to suffer from severe die-off symptoms? Which product should I use?
Use CandiCalm rather than CandElim. If you are unsure of your chances of experiencing severe die-off, try CandElim at a very low dose, 3-6 drops per day, gradually working up to full dosage.
What is the best product to take if I am pregnant or nursing and suffering from toxemia?
Use CandiCalm, starting with just 2 drops per day. In cases of toxemia, use 1 bottle per month of Nymsar and 3 bottles per month of Liver Balance Plus to improve liver function and to detoxify the body.
If you are pregnant or nursing and are NOT dealing with a build up of toxins in your body (toxemia),start at an extra small introductory dose of CandElim (3 drops per day), increasing dosages more gradually, every 5 days instead of the usual 3 days. Increase in 3 drop increments rather than the usual 6 drop increments.
If you start feeling lousy, a sure sign of die off, stop immediately, wait a few days until you are feeling better, and decrease your dosage. Die-off is a sign that your liver is not eliminating all the toxins being released by the dying candida. Using Nymsar and Liver Balance Plus will help to make sure the liver can better handle those toxins.
If I can only afford to get one supplement, what should it be?
CandElim is the most vital supplement. Gradually work up to the 1 to 3 bottle-per-month dosage and maintain that dosage until the spit test consistently shows improvement and/or until most of the symptoms are gone.
At this point, reduce the dosage to 1/3 of a bottle per month while you replenish your friendly bacteria, repair leaky gut, calm down the allergies, strengthen the immune system and get the hormones — sex hormones, adrenals, and thyroid — back in good shape.
What are the second-most important supplement/supplements for me to take?
As it is most often the lack of friendly bacteria in the gut that leads to candida overgrowth in the first place, using 2 to 4 bottles per month of TotalFlora15 is the next most important supplement to take — for replenishing the intestinal flora. TotalFlora15 is better than other probiotics at dealing with candida overgrowth because it has been energy infused with instructions that make it much stronger.
My specific die-off concerns are flare-ups, food allergies and detoxification — which product/products should I use?
Depending on your specific situation, other issues may be more important to address first…
Take Nymsar, GI Pro and Liver Balance Plus for allergy and liver support. Nymsar calms down the allergic response, and GI Pro helps to speed up healing of leaky gut that caused the food allergies.
Mercury or copper toxicity is a concern for me.
Add on CandiClear5 — the zeolite powder and fossilized marine phytoplankton will be absorbing mercury, copper and other heavy metals, safely removing them from the body.
I have ALL the classic symptoms of candida overgrowth, including brain fog, tiredness, sweet cravings, nail fungus and intestinal discomfort. What products will provide the fastest relief?
If your budget allows, add CandiClear5 along with the CandElim. The more “ammunition” you throw at the yeast imbalance, the faster the results.
My biggest concern is hormone imbalance. Mood swings and emotional instability are affecting me and everyone around me in a negative way. What would you recommend?
Use 1 to 2 bottles per month of FemBalance. Use for at least 4 months after intestinal balance has been restored.
My major issues are adrenal fatigue , night sweats, poor sleep, low metabolism, and low thyroid. What would you recommend?
Add on 1 bottle of Tyovu, which optimizes adrenal and thyroid function. One bottle per month is adequate, two per month can be used.
How accurate is the spit test?
Based on eight years of feedback from customers, our impression is that the spit test is at least as accurate as stool samples or blood tests. All tests occasionally show false negatives or give inaccurate readings. To achieve the most accurate results, take the spit test first thing in the morning after briefly rinsing your mouth (you may have breathed in mold or other environmental factors that could affect the outcome of the test).
As the candida level gradually improves, the spit test should also show improvement. As candida is targeted and removed from various parts of the body, the spit test may also vary, from clear to cloudy and back to clear again. At some point, the test should be consistently clear.
Can I take these supplements with my other medications?
Yes, the supplements are natural and safe and can be taken along with other medications.
Are there any side effects?
There are no harmful side effects. We do, however, suggest starting out with low dosages, gradually increasing over a period of a week or two. If you begin to experience tiredness, slight nausea or mild flu-like symptoms, cut back on the amount of products you are taking until the symptoms are gone. Die-off symptoms are a sign that the supplements are working. Working too well so to speak.
It is very difficult to push your way through a die-off healing crisis. It can go on and on. It is best to ease up on the supplements so that you are not killing so much candida to give yourself a break. Supporting the liver with a product like Liver Balance Plus will enable it to better handle the toxins being released from the killed candida which are the cause of the die-off symptoms.
I’ve been using these supplements for a few days — why is my yeast infection worse?
When these supplements attack candida, the yeast begin to “fight back”. This activation can cause a “flare up”, temporarily making you feel worse before you feel better. The best thing to do in this case is to reduce the dosages, then gradually increase as you feel better.
What is the best way to take the CandiClear5?
The best way to drink CandiClear5 is in water — one scoop, three times per day. Another possibility is to mix it in food, such as oatmeal or yogurt, or bake it into pancakes or bread. Even juice or a smoothie could work but baking or mixing in food is probably better. This may seem counter-intuitive, as carbohydrates generally feed candida. As the yeast becomes attracted to the carbs, the CandiClear5 has a chance to rid the body of more candida at one time.
What about the candida diet?
A special diet, alone, will probably never eliminate the candida — the yeast will continue to feed upon whatever is available. A shift to eating foods that prevent the yeast from replicating so quickly will surely help prevent flare-ups. The diet could be as extreme as eating only protein and vegetables.
Basically, avoid “fast foods” and most “white” foods, especially refined flour, white rice and all refined sugars. Limit high-glycemic fruits, esp. bananas, kiwi fruit, papaya and pineapples. If you find you cannot limit the above-mentioned foods, try compensating by taking more anti-candida supplements (though you will certainly achieve faster results by altering your diet).
I have a serious case of candida overgrowth but I can’t afford to follow your Targeted or Aggressive approach. What should I do?
The bigger combos we offer do a great job of restoring the body’s health and balance, keeping the yeast under control in small, manageable amounts in the intestinal tract. Your candida overgrowth is not likely to be completely eliminated with a minimal approach, but you should be able to get it under control.
Taking just the CandiClear5 on an ongoing basis is the best thing to do. With GI Pro as a strong second to more quickly heal up the leaky gut. Once the leaky gut is healed, TotalFlora15 could help keep the candida under control in the intestinal tract.
I want to attack my candida overgrowth as vigorously as possible. What else can I do?
All of the other product suggestions will hit your candida in yet another way. You can add on any of them to the combo to be more vigorous in dealing with it.
