I'll do my best to help, and you can take it for what it's worth. I've been at this program for nearly 2 years. It's good to start out doing this program before your health goes too far down the pole.
Too much stress is hard on the body in general and especially the digestive tract and adrenal glands. There are the kinds of foods we eat that result in unbalanced candida in the digestive system because the carbs we've eaten can make a sticky paste that adheres to the colon walls over time. Parasites hide their eggs in that junk.
Google
"treating candida with herbals". The herbs and other nutrients are: olive leaf extract, black walnut, caprylic acid, berberine, cat's claw, garlic, oil of oregano, pau 'd arco, goldenseal root, n-acetyl cysteine, pantethine, biotin, Mb, Cu and Zn. Coconut oil is excellent--inside and outside on the body.
We recommend you rotate the herbals.
You might want to start this natural healing program by cleaning out your colon and adding some of the anti-candida herbals. The colon is first in the order of cleansing. Here we use Dr. Richard Schulz'es colon cleanser or Barefoot's Lower Bowel Balance. I found the Schulze #2 stuff pulls the junk off the colon wall very well. You have to add his #1 formula, too, at night because the #2 formula can be constipating at first. Both preps have herbs that kill parasites.
Candida IS a parasite.
Doc recommends you do a colon cleanse for a month when you start this program. Then add back the good probiotics. There's Threelac and a few other good ones out there for candida. He recommends the i-flora. I've taken that for almost a year at three times the dosage. It's working. Depends on how long you've had the candida as to how long you may have to stay on the probiotics. It may take a while to balance candida. The colon wall needs to be clean in order to do it.
He also recommends you start on a dewormer and do it for at least 3 months. Just about everyone has parasites. They may congest the liver and make stones in the liver to protect it, so we just kill them off. They start out in the colon and may go thru the colon walls into the bloodstream and then to the liver. Then we got big trouble. Nobody's adressed the parasite problem for years. We know it is a problem, so we address it with this program. (We've learned chemical poisons and parasites are at the bootom of the "whys" of any disease along with a poor diet).
Barefoot's dewormer is our first recommendation for being the best in the colon and liver. His phone # is: 937-666-6107. Or go to
http://www.barefootherbalistmh.com
and order from his store. Humaworm is good and is good for parasites in other places in the body, but it does overlap and help with the intestines and liver, too. His # is: 662-326-3970 and he has a website on CZ. There's Clear from Awareness Corporation that Doc and others have used. I think it's
http://www.ken@awrenesslife.com.
(hope that hasn't changed again) Phone # 1-800-831-0898. That's not the same Ken as Doc. Doc has a number that anyone can use to get that product: #195801. The herbs that kill candida also kill other parasites. If one has candida, they usually have other parasites. Not a fun thing to find out, but true. All of us who have done this program went thru that initial shock!! We recommend you rotate the dewormers too. Or add to the Barefoot stuff, if necessary.
Then do a few liver flushes until the liver is decongested. We recommend the Coke flush. You can find the recipie for it on this forum. Do one every 2 weeks after you get your colon cleaned out and you've been on the dewormer for 2 weeks. Stay on a dewormer. There are lots of posts explaining maintenance dewormer and maintenance liver flushes.
The body makes fat so it will have a place to put the poisons. If you do this cleaning out program, your weight should stabilize in the range of what's normal for you. This program takes care of anything that makes you sick because it means cleaning out the body and feeding it the correct nutrients that allow it to return to it's healthy state. That may take a while, too, but it does happen.
We, personally, have to control the amount of stress we have, so that might be something to consider. Researching and finding ways to do that. The presence of parasites causes lots of stress on the adrenals. Of course, the rest of the body, too.
Doc has some YouTube presentations you can watch:
http://www.youtube.com/user/DocSutter.
You can go to the website at the top of the page here, too, and get his CD and Book "It's Not Illegal To Get Healthy" that exlains everything and why this works and all the things we do. For instance--a few other necessary components to this like drinking distilled water for the rest of our lives, supplementing iodine for the thyroid (dulse), Celtic sea salt for minerals
is all part of this Basic Program. It's best to listen to the CD and read a lot on this forum, if you're a newbie.
This is quite an overview of what we do here. That's why we recommend you get and listen to Doc Sutter's CD over quite a few times so you understand all of it. It's quite a surprise and mental flip-over when you find out this program realy does work. I know from experience it's a pretty darn GOOD feeling.! Most are so used to what DOESN'T work to get the body healthy again--the Medical Bandaid for everything--drugs or chemical poisons.
Best of luck.
We're still here.
