Candida Overgrowth Treatment

Vitamin C (2,000 mg daily): 

Buy a Vitamin C that contains mineral ascorbates and/or bioflavonoids. Plain ascorbic acid crystals will irritate the lining of your stomach and intestines. Spread out the dosage through the day because your body will absorb only so much at one time.
 
The powder form is more bioavailable to your body than the pill form, but both will work. Increase your dose of vitamin C slowly.

Candida Overgrowth Treatment

If you experience diarrhea, cut back your dose by 1,000 mg. You can take the powder with or without food, but it's best to take the pills after a meal or snack. A multivitamin-mineral does contain vitamin C but does not have high enough amounts for quality aging.

Brands

• Ultra Potent-C 1000 tablets (Metagenics)
• AdvanC with quercetin and bioflavonoids (NSI)
• Emer'gen-C Lite powder (Alacer)

Vitamin E (400 IU daily): 

When buying vitamin E, be sure the source is natural. Look for "d-tocopherol" on the label and not "dl-tocopherol," which is synthetic. Also use an E vitamin that has mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols. A multivitamin-mineral does contain vitamin E but does not have high enough amounts for quality aging.
 
Brands

• E Gems Elite (Carlson)
• familE (Jarrow Formulas) 

Important notes:

• Do not take vitamin E if you are on blood thinners.
• If you will be having surgery, stop taking vitamin E two weeks prior so your blood will clot properly.
• If you begin to bruise easily, reduce your dosage of vitamin E. 

Green food formula and/or Vegetable Alkalizer Juice:
 
Take an alkalizing green formula in either a pill, powder, or liquid form and/or drink Vegetable Alkalizer Juice. This is key to keeping your body alkaline and providing your body with sufficient minerals to repair itself.
 
Brands

• NanoGreens (BioPharma Scientific)
• Miracle Greens (Macro Greens)
• Yaeyama Chlorella, tablets (Jarrow Formulas)
• Chlorofresh, mint liquid (Nature's Way) 

Free-form amino acid complex (2 pills upon arising; if it irritates your stomach, take after breakfast): 

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein that are responsible for repairing and regenerating every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. They also assist the liver's detoxification process and are the precursors to neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and epinephrine.

Brand

• Super Daffy Amino Blend (Carlson, 750 mg) 

Omega-3 fish oil (2 grams daily with food): 

Omit this if you are taking Wellness Essentials for Men or Women (Metagenics), as fish oil is included in the packets. This essential fatty acid is not manufactured by the body: It helps decrease inflammation, feed brain and nerve cells, and support cardiovascular function. It is important to buy a brand that is free of PCBs (carcinogenic, manmade chemicals used in electrical equipment and industrial processes). The brands I have listed below are PCB-free.

Brands

• EPA-DHA 720 (Metagenics)
• Ultimate Omega-3 fish oil gels (Nordic Naturals)
• Super Omega-3 Fish Oil gels (Carlson) 

Evening primrose oil (1,300 mg daily - for women only): 

This is an omega-6 essential fatty acid that is rich in gamma linoleic acid (GLA), which assists in balancing female hormones and eliminating PMS symptoms.

Brands

• Evening Primrose Oil (Jarrow Formulas)
• Golden Primrose Oil (Carlson) 

Ground flaxseed meal: 

Put one tablespoon of organic ground flaxseed meal in eight ounces of water or sprinkle on salads or vegetables. Fiber is key in keeping your bowels moving daily, sweeping debris from the colon lining, and lowering cholesterol.

Brand

• Bob's Red Mills

RECAPTURING YOUR VITALITY 

You now have everything you need to begin your journey of redefining your lifestyle habits so that you can feel vibrantly healthy again. This program will help you to look and feel your best and give you the energy and motivation necessary to fulfill your goals and dreams. Just remember that your body cannot take care of itself. You need to keep up the required maintenance, just as when you regularly change the oil in your car to keep it running smoothly.
 

The secret is to keep your mindset away from deprivation and focus on the primary purpose of this program - to remove infection and inflammation from your body so you can recapture your energy, clarity, and vitality. Ninety days is a very short period of time in which to do this. As you progress, you will enjoy hearing the comments from your family, friends, and colleagues about how great you look. Though this may be gratifying, the best part is that you will feel great inside too! To find out more, you can check out Candida Overgrowth Treatment.

WHAT IF I NEED TO TAKE AN ANTIBIOTIC 

There are those critical times when you may need to take an antibiotic for a bacterial infection such as pneumonia, staph, strep, or Helicobacter pylori. To counteract the negative consequences of candida overgrowth, take Candida abX or another antifungal while taking your antibiotic and for one month after you finish the course. After a month, stop the antifungal and start taking probiotics (Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics 12 Plus from Essential Formulas). This will ensure that you don't have to do the whole candida elimination protocol again.

SUPPLEMENTATION FOR QUALITY AGING 

To keep yourself balanced and to experience quality aging, follow the recommendations below after you finish your 90-day program.
 
FOURTH MONTH AND ONGOING 

Use the new food lists as a guide:

• Eat foods from the "Foods to Eat to Maintain Health" list. Slowly introduce any new foods back into your diet. If you have a bad reaction, this is your body's way of telling you to stay away from that food or to indulge in it less frequently.
• Avoid the foods on the "Foods to Eat Infrequently or Not at All" list or eat them only 20 percent of the time or less.

Take the following supplements:
 
Probiotics (dairy-free strains of acidophflus and bifidus):

Probiofics replace and balance bacteria in the GI tract. Take as directed on the bottle. If you are disciplined by nature and can maintain a healthy diet and minimal stress, taking the probiotic for the rest of your life should be sufficient to keep you free from candida overgrowth. However, for most people, stress and poor diet more often prevail. In these cases, to stay balanced it is best to take a probiotic along with an herbal antifungal for the rest of your life. To make sure that you don't become immune to a particular antifungal formula, rotate the different formulas every couple of months. Take the antifungal before bed and the probiotic upon arising.

Brand

• Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics 12 Plus (Essential Formulas, no refrigeration required)

Herbal antifungal (only for those who have continual high stress and do not maintain a clean diet);
 
Taking a probiotic for the rest your life (without an antifungal) is sufficient if you can maintain a clean diet and low stress levels. Those who find it too challenging to do this would do best to take a probiotic along with an antifungal for their lifetime in order to stay balanced. Make sure to rotate antifungal formulas every couple of months (Candida abX, pau d'arco tea or tincture, and Primal Defense Ultra).

Multivitamin-mineral supplement:
 
A good multivitamin-mineral supplement will compensate for some of the nutrients that are missing in your diet. Make sure your source has chelated minerals (minerals bound with amino adds to improve absorption). Take after meals or snacks.
 
Brand

• Wellness Essentials for Men or Women (Metagenics) 

This formula comes in two packets that you can easily take twice a day. They contain your multivitamin and minerals as well as B-complex vitamins, fish oils, and extra calcium (in the women's packet) or stress-balancing herbs (in the male packet).  

B-complex vitamins: 

If you are taking a one-a-day multivitamin-mineral supplement as opposed to a brand that you are supposed to take twice or three times a day, you will need to take an extra B-complex supplement. B-complex vitamins are a must for vegetarians because certain B vitamins are lacking in a vegetarian diet.

Brands

• Glucogenics (Metagenics)
• B-Right (Jarrow Formulas)
