When clearly alkalizing the body helps any fungus condition. Is there some evidence that live fungus (in the wild maybe) tends to grow in alkaline soil or something? I just wonder why I read this on the internet so often. I suspect somehow they then mistakenly assumed that the body shouldn’t be alkaline when dealing with a fungus issue. Perhaps it is just misinformation and wrong conclusions, but it is giving out the wrong message to those with candida, to avoid the ”good” foods and fill the body with acid which just burns the body from the inside out! /Rant off   [End]

Anxiety, depression and other psychological issues are all part of systematic candida IMO. I posted something awhile back about my obsessive thouthts that started around the time my symptoms surfaced. Do not worry, it’s a negative condition that affects everywhere negatively.   [End]

Oh, it will cause die-off. It’s got tons of detoxifying herbs and supplements in it. IIRC Mackenzie had yeast breaking out on his skin when he took it, but it worked for him. I think expecting no die-off isn’t realistic. Instead, work with your body to make it easier and less uncomfortable.   [End]

I’d take a product like coral calcium personally, for maximum absorbtion. Alkalizing is a HUGE part of beating a fungal condition in my experience. Once your PH reaches a certain alkaline level, the symbiotic fungus just...fall off. Lemon and water is great also, but I would just go with the baking soda remedy that Jhan suggested. That in itself with calcium (and an otherwise alkaline diet) should suffice.   [End]

Raw is the best. It actually doesn’t burn that much at all compared to cayenne pepper for example. Sometimes though it will burn like hell (I attribute it to thrush in the mouth). But no, garlic is amazing. A few fresh cloves eaten during the day for me will trigger a large die-off the next day, showing just how strong it is. I think the fact that it has no side-effects would make it the top antifungal. Also try cayenne pepper, my god is this one overlooked. It is said to kill 16 types of fungus.   [End]

Hey Stannarad, you say you have had candida for many years. I am interested in your thoughts on this. Why is yours not ”cured” yet in your opinion? I am just curious is all. Some say they beat it so fast and so with people who have it years try to think if it’s something they are doing wrong or is it just the nature of their condition. Are you on the strict 100% anti-candida diet + supplements and antifungals with little or no improvement after years? I am just thinking out loud here is all, and I may be oversimplifying the issue, but would I be wrong to assume that if the essential ste ...

Of course there is :D. I’m not trying to play it down, but many of us seem to think this thing isn’t beatable. It is never too late. And, if you know what you are doing it doesn’t have to be too hard either. The problem lies in battling addictions to things like sugar and being ready to change our bad habits as far as food, nutrition, excercise and self-awareness go. If you are fully committed to it then it’s only a matter of time IMO. I think it is harder to fully commit to these changes than it is to actually beat candida.   [End]

Steaming a solution of purifed water + apple cider vinegar will actually kill mold particles in the room. Just mix the solution together, heat it up on the stove until it is boiling and let the pot or bowl fumigate the room. Make enough so it fills the entire room with steam. It doesn’t need to be foggy or anything but it does need to get into all those places mold likes to grow. It will also travel into air cons and kill the mold too. I have heard that mixing h2o2 with it will created an added benefit of oxygenating (thus, killing) more particles but haven’t tried it yet as the ACV worked ...

A good air puritifer/ionizer combo. will help alot with this, if you live with mold and other allergens. I leave mine on low all day and sometimes turn the ions on to catch whatever is floating around. It’s not a solution, but it helps in the meantime.   [End]

Same here. It is frightening because the first thing we think of is the heart. I would get your heart checked of course, but if it comes back clear you can safely say it is heavy metal toxicity and yes, is part of some cases of candida. Do you drink alot of soft drinks as a matter of interest? Anyways, for the metals, get yourself some fresh Cilantro from the grocery store and start chewing handfulls of it daily. Drink lots of water alongside this to help cleanse. See if it helps after a week or two.   [End]

Yes, it is one of the easier ways to do it. Take Coral calcium or some good calcium supplement. There are other ways, such as eating tons of fruit and slowly working your PH level upward but I found calcium to be the best. I take like 3 a day with water. The easiest way of all though, is to take 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water twice a day. Just plain arm & hammer baking soda for $1 in some purifed water! Take on an empty stomach as soon as you wake up, and before you go to bed. If you aren’t eating anything too acidic in the meantime (which will of course cancel out your al ...

Personally I never stopped eating fruit. Fresh is how it is found on trees and plants so that is how I eat it. I have a theory. When we cook and juice fruits, essentially taking them out of their natural state, that is when we can have potential problems with candida. I mean, cooked fruit is still better than no fruit but when talking of sugar sensitivities i’d leave it as it is. In this, I have had zero issues. The fiber buffers the sugar so they say and it makes sense since I have never met anyone with bad teeth who blame it on eating too much fruit!   [End]

And thanks to you, for I gleaned alot from your own posts and experiences that enabled me to help myself. The acidoph. supplement I use is also nothing special, I just got it in walmart. The brand is ”Rexal extra stength Acidophillus”. It is capsule form, but says it needs to be refigerated on opening so that is what I do as soon as I open the foil seal. I have read how fast the live bacteria can deteriote if left out in the heat, and also noted how well the package was sealed when it was on the shelves at the store. I think it is the fact that people buy them off shelves that makes us ...

Well, just to let people know what seems to be working for me and admmittedly, I still haven’t committed myself wholeheartedly to the process. Meaning I cheat sometimes :-/. Maybe my case isn’t as severe as I thought it was, or maybe I am just lucky, but after reading some of the problems and the seemingly endless trials by people here, my healing efforts almost felt a bit too easy in comparison. I amn’t playing those experiences down at all, it’s just some cases make the condition appear hopeless, y’know? But from my own experiences I feel that this thing can most certainly be eradicat ...

And is this normal or are these specific problem cases where the candida is particularly stubborn and resistant to treatment? I know some may not know they had it, but i’m talking about people who are on a treatment/diet programme for long periods and still see no resuslts.   [End]

Take cilantro for heavy metals. I just eat a handful or two a day. It tastes okay and it costs like 50c to buy at any grocery store. Make sure it is fresh of course! Try that for a week and see if it helps. Are you alkalizing also?   [End]

Try some heavy metal cleansing. Cilantro can be bought at the local grocery store and is very cheap. Try that for a week and see if you start to feel differently at least. Your ”withdrawal” from sugar and flour seems heavy, the symptoms of die-off will be eased by alkalizing your body and maybe taking some apple cider vinergar to clean out the toxins your body doesn’t need. Stay with it, you have your whole life ahead of you!   [End]

Oh also to add, isn’t bread like a carby kind of food anyways, similiar to potatoes? If this is the case it would explain the misconception (?) that baked yeast adds to the active yeast in cadida, (which it cannot be ”live” since it was baked in an oven and stored on a shelf for awhile).   [End]

I have heard this also. It is sugar that feeds the yeast. Usually those with candida who have a reaction to bread and such are actually allergic (via the candida along the way). Try it and see for us if you have flare-ups with bread. Or take a day and eat nothing for a while then only a bread product.   [End]

I am considering fasting to starve out the candida but am unsure as to how I should go about it. How long can one fast for? Fruit juices are a no-no, so I guess water is my only choice. I suppose I could add fresh lemon juice? Should one take multivitamins, supplements, antifungals etc. during a fast? How long would you recommend. It is alien to me as I know I will be starving but I feel like my body is overloaded right now and needs a break. The concept of not eating for 1+ days is kinda scary because it goes against everything we’re conditioned to believe about needing food to survive.   [End]

Okay, well only 1 of the soups have the 5g sugar in it (the tomato). So now tomatos are a ”no” also? And nothing tinned? Bah, this diet is so hard. I have no problem with sugar or flour but my god, it finds ways to cut out almost everything. It is hard on a limited budget. I was considering just fasting for awhile, even a modified fast but I don’t know how long one can fast for so am a little apprehensive about trying it.   [End]

I spotted some cans of Organic soup in my grocery store today and looked on the label to see if I could find any yeast or sugar. There was none listed. Comparing these with the (processed) campbells soup labels, I saw both yeast and sugar there. So would these Organice soups be okay to eat on a Candida diet or is there some other hidden ingredient in tinned soups that aggravates the beast (knowing candida, there is)? Just checking, is all. Also, on the Organice tomato soup it listed the ingrediants as having 5g sugar. I wondered if this was natural sugar or added. If added, that is o ...

Well I kinda knew it was the candida since I am quite a spiritual and centered person, and these thoughts felt alien to me when they’d come up suddenly. I look at it like this. Candida creates a symbioses with you, which causes it to use you for its own needs. Such as sugar to feed it. All you know is you want sugar, but you don’t really know why. You actually don’t need it, but the candida does. And yet you will act on it’s needs to ensure it’s survival. Now, this may seem a bit of a stretch so please bear with me, but for all you ”Marvel Kids” like me, there is an easy way to under ...

Thank you so much for the info, Mac. I too, have always felt in my heart that fruit is the natural bounty of the wild and can only be good for us. They are still trying to decipher all the enzymes in fruit, you know. So we may hear about it in years to come that the sugar is balanced out by the fiber (some already say this) and enzymes within, just like the way milk is good for you today and bad for you tomorrow. I live by the rule of thumb that every food we need has already been on the earth since the dawn of time, growing on trees and plants, or roaming in the wild, in a complete and un ...

Yes, I tried it briefly but found it very difficult as I had to exclude so much and was starving most of the time. Ruling out sugar I can deal with. Even flour products I could manage, but then dairy and meats and even fruit (according to some diets) leaves only a few veggies and some obsure foods which I couldn’t probably afford in large amounts on my current budget. To be honest, I hated most of the remaining veggies on the list, LOL. So I didn’t last long on the diet unfortunately. I know I could do it if I really, really forced myself but it is so extreme.   [End]

I am considering trying this product despite the abundance of biased reviews I have read. I have searched in the forums and can only really find one person who was helped by it but, in fairness I can’t really find anyone who say they haven’t been helped either. Who here has tried it for good or bad? And, what did you think? Real reviews only please. The price is a bit high yes, but they do say it is guaranteed...whatever that actually means (i’m thinking refund on request) so worse comes to worse i’ll demand my money back.   [End]
