How to Flatten Your Tummy and End Food Cravings EFFORTLESSLY
91And lose up to 90 pounds!
Despite any experience you might have had previously, it is possible to EFFORTLESSLY end food cravings and flatten your tummy. I'll tell you how right now.
The first bit of good news for you is that the solution to your food cravings does not require any will power whatsoever.
" No will power??"
You're probably not believing that just yet. So at this point I'm just going to ask you not to make any decisions yet...just hang in here with me.
Meanwhile, here's a message that Terri posted, after reading this and trying it:
---
"I started the supplements on August 5. After three weeks, the yeast was going, I wasn't very hungry. I stopped taking the supplements after five weeks (seven weeks now since I began). In the past four weeks I've lost nine pounds, truly effortlessly. I have been very food-fixated for a long time--thinking about food and my weight too much--knowing what my next meal would be...
"So, I did not "change" my diet--it's changing on its own. I don't eat as much, snack foods rarely appeal to me, and when I do snack, I hardly eat any of it. Sometimes just thinking about food is really unappealing, and this from a woman who used to graze all night after getting home from work!
"Hope you find this helpful. I know when I started I was hoping more people would post results so I could be inspired."
---
Your cravings aren't your fault!
The other good news is that you can stop beating yourself up for having cravings because they are not your fault. Your cravings are actually an inner wisdom to keep your brain alive. I'll explain why shortly.
I promise you I'm not going to try to sell you any juice, or get you to enroll in a business opportunity. There will be some products you'll need to buy but you can purchase them anywhere you'd like.
Even if you've failed many times before...
This past Wednesday, a customer at my store came in because her friend, Laura, (not her real name) had lost 90 pounds and was able to wear a slinky black dress by doing what I had suggested she do. So I want you to know this stuff works.
She had failed too many times to count previously. She succeeded this time because she was getting to the root of her weight gain.
Another customer who probably weighed 300 pounds, admitted to me that she used to eat "six heavy meals a day" but she still felt empty. But after she followed my advice, she naturally cut back to one or two meals a day without using an ounce of will power.
Another thing, the second woman 'Carly' (not her real name) used to be a really hostile person. Not any more. Now, she's as lively and as fun as can be.
Carly didn't take a course in being sweet and fun...that's just her natural, healthy personality. Yes, those cravings can make you feel incredibly stressed out. But when they vanish...which they will automatically...you're stress is going to go way down, too!
My cravings went poof!
Oh, then there is me. I used to eat a half gallon of ice cream in 24 hours twice a week. Only my shame and embarrassment kept me from eating a lot more.
I used to think about the food I was going to eat while I was at work. The ice cream aisle was my favorite hangout in the grocery store. Sometimes I'd eat ice cream instead of dinner.
You're probably getting the picture.
But today, you could hand me a bowl of Breyers or Haagen Daz ice cream and I wouldn't want it.
Let me tell you, that is not will power, because I have none. The difference is that I know the secret. In a moment, I'm going to tell you all the secrets.
You won't have to buy anything from me. Nothing.
Your cravings could be almost anything...
Now let me just say, your cravings might be a lot different than mine were. That's okay...this works for any sweet or carb craving you might have, including fried chicken (it's the breading!), french fries, cookies, pasta, cake, candy, pizza, chocolate, sub sandwiches, chips, beer, and so on.
Before we get to the things you need to do, first you'll want to understand why they work. Once you know that, it'll empower you like Helen Reddy's "I am woman!" on steroids.
This works for men, too!
By the way, this works for men big time. Men get yeast problems even though it might not be as obvious. They just drink beer to cover it up, instead. ;-)
Remember when I said this isn't your fault? I meant it. The cause of food cravings is caused almost 100% of the time by medications that have killed off your friendly bacteria in your intestines.
Blame your doctor, not you...
It might have started when you were two years old when your mom took you to the doctor for a stuffy nose. The doctor, prescribed an antibiotic, and you were on the slow road to food cravings.
In many cases, your mom had to return because your stuffy nose returned. Antibiotics have a tendency to do that...cause a rebound many weeks later. So, you got another antibiotic.
Or it might have been birth control pills, or steroid medications. Those drugs and probably others, kill our friendly bacteria.
Big deal, right? Eat a little yogurt and everything is okay again. At least that is what you were told. But it's not true.
The antibiotics will kill the friendly bacteria in the yogurt even if you eat it 12 hours apart.
Secondly, by the time you stop taking the antibiotics, the yeast in the intestines has spread and grown roots and it's not going to leave no matter how much yogurt you eat.
Picture, if you will, once friendly yeast that has grown tentacles.
Here's the deal: your friendly bacteria and your yeast compete for space like plants in the forest. The yeast wants to stay put and advance.
Now here's the Huge Health Secret you've been waiting for! (Actually I'm about to spring several more on you, so this is just the first one.)
Yeast lives on sugar...and so does your brain!
The yeast in your tummy gets first dibs on almost any sugar you eat. Meanwhile, your brain cells need sugar to live.
Your brain is literally screaming at you, "HEY, I'M DYING UP HERE! GET ME SOMETHING TO EAT!"
So what is your brain going to do? Well, your brain is the boss, so your brain is going to walk you to the refrigerator and drive you to the store to get some more sugar and/or carbs.
Before going any further, let me remind you of this unfortunate part about yeast. They swell. Since they are in your tummy, they swell your tummy.
That is soooooo attractive.
Of course, it doesn't help matters that when you eat extra food, you're getting more calories, and probably empty ones at that.
Are you getting the picture here. If you have too much yeast, any diet plan is doomed to fail, or your brain will fail if you succeed.
The fungal yeast is in your tummy to stay for decades...
Once you get too much yeast it will not leave on its own. Not in a year, not in ten years, not in your lifetime. And as long as it is there, it's going to win sooner or later.
I don't know many people who can use their will power to starve out the yeast, do you? Besides, it's cruel to your brain to do that. Which helps to explain why diets without enough carbs can leave a person feeling depressed...their brain is starving.
Your effortless cure...
But don't worry, there is an answer that puts you back in charge. It comes in three parts, and there is often a fourth part.
First, kill the yeast. All this stuff is available at any health food store. To do that, get yourself a combination of olive leaf extract and caprylic acid and take it for about two months.
Second, you need to restore the friendly bacteria. For this, I like a product called "PB-8." Don't skimp on this part. Be sure you get a really excellent multi-strain probiotic. Primal Defense is another good one. So is Dr. Ohiras probiotic.
You'll want to keep taking a good probiotic, ideally for the rest of your life. That's because unlike 150 years ago, we rarely eat fermented foods any more.
As I mentioned above, yeast and friendly bacteria compete for space. If you run low on your bacteria, the yeast can move back in.
The PB-8 might result in a quick loss of 5 pounds in the first week.
The third thing is to patch the holes left by the yeast. If you don't patch them, you'll end up with allergies, parasites running amok, and a whole lot more, all of it bad.
To do this, get yourself some glutamine powder, take a teaspoon in water twice a day. Another excellent alternative, even better than glutamine by itself is a product called IntestiNew.
Either one will work. the IntestiNew works a little faster.
The fourth thing you'll probably want is a good multi-enzyme. When yeast is overrunning us, our digestion often gets stressed, and it needs some help.
You take those when you eat. They help to prevent bloating and discomfort.
People often ask me which ones they should start with first. I started with all the products at the same time. They work better when taken together.
It's economical, too...
This whole program will cost less than $100 the first month, about $50 to 60 the second month, and only $20 a month by the third month.
You'll end up seeing the doctor a whole lot less, so be sure subtract those costs from the 4 part program. Also be sure to subtract the costs of those expensive treats you just had to have but no longer want. One less soft drink a day or Starbucks coffee means my program saves you money instead of costing you money.
Effortless, effortless, effortless...
In my experience, what happens is that rather than seeing a gradual lessening of the cravings, you go along for a while, and you wonder is this program going to work? Then one day, it is like a light switch...your cravings completely vanish into thin air.
I still recall looking at lowly vegetables in the produce aisle, and thinking, "Wow, those look good!" Meanwhile, I literally would forget to go to the ice cream aisle.
It's your natural heritage to crave the foods that are good for you. But that can only happen if you get your yeast under control.
Animals in the forest aren't half as smart as you are, yet they are able to keep to their normal weight without effort. That's because they've never been given antibiotics.;-)
You become "unbloated"...
Your experience might be different than mine. But you will feel so much freer and lighter, and "unbloated" if that is a word, once you rid yourself of excess yeast and restore your friendly bacteria.
I'd like to know how you do, so please leave a comment to inspire others with your success.
If you like this info, please contact your email buddy list. Almost everyone is dealing with this challenge, but the solution seems to be elusive.
They are going to thank you in a big way since (a) it works, and (b) I'm not selling anything. Let's keep the daisy chain of help going forever until everyone's tummy is flat! :-)
Thank you and the best to you.

I agree with Marisa. I have heard from doctors about yeast and the problems it can cause, but no one has ever put it as simply and step by step as this. Thank you.
Interesting tip. Do you have any new updates coming?
Descendo,
I just might! Sign up as a fan and/or RSS and you'll get notice of any new ones.
Kelley
I hope this will be help to many people. This does make sense.

Great topic and I am going to try this. Thanks
Very nice topic. There are so many benefits to getting rid of fungi from your body and more people have this problem than most think. An anti-fungal program is definitely worth a shot for most people.
Great hub and glad that you included that men do get yeast overgrowth. Most people are ingnorant to this and believe that woman are the only ones that get yeast infection. Not only men, but babies and children too. Men can also pass yeast infection back to their sex partner, especially the ones that drink beer.
Hi Kelly,
A quick question. Is glutamine powder different from
glucosamine sulfate? Will the gl sulfate help the intestinal building?
Thanks, Carl
Hi Carl.
Glutamine is an amino acid that aids in muscle repair and boosting the immune system. Glucosamine sulfate is a compound used to help with arthritis.
I don't know whether glucosamine would help to repair the intestinal lining.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Good Information! Kelly.
After people do the cleanse of yeast, they can check out my hub on Candida (Wholistic Lifestyle Planning)to start taking in the knowledge of better foods to keep it from happening again. Your gut doesn't get healthy and stay healthy on its own, we have to feed it (ourselves) properly!
Hi again, A question to diet. Is it necessary to change my diet from the beginning or is it enough to wait for the cravings to subside and start eating healthier things? I have already started and after 3 days(with diet changes), I have noticed changes in
my food desires.
Also, how important is the olive oil extract? Sarah Summer says that this can be
bad for the kidneys.
Thanks, Carl
Hi Carl,
It's wonderful to hear that you're already noticing a difference! As for olive leaf extract being harmful to the kidneys, I haven't heard that before. Here's a link to a website with some information on it's effects, including any side effects. I'm not associated with the site in any way.
http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:EJQSoBAwshMJ:/productdetails28.html+%2B%22olive+leaf+extract%22+%2B%22side+effects%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=4&gl=us
Sometimes with the yeast die-off there can be a temporary feeling of illness. I'd just cut back on the olive leaf until it passes, drinking extra water as well to flush my system.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelley, I got a question for you. :)
When we use anti-bacterial mouth wash like Listerine, does it have any effect on bacteria down there in intestines? We inevitably swallow some...
Misha, that's a good question, but I don't know the answer to it. It sounds quite plausible.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
got a question:
im taking fat burner (twice a day) because i go to gym, will it be ok to take those 3 products (olive leaf extract and caprylic acid or Candistroy; PB-8 or Primal Defense; glutamine powder or IntestiNew) as well?
thanks..
I'm going to tell my sister about this so we can try it together this summer. I'll let you know how it works for us.
"im taking fat burner (twice a day) because i go to gym, will it be ok to take those 3 products (olive leaf extract and caprylic acid or Candistroy; PB-8 or Primal Defense; glutamine powder or IntestiNew) as well?"
That's a good question, Taz. I wish I had a good answer for you. Fat burners usually have many ingredients. Whether they would go well together I couldn't say.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelley Eidem:
Please give me the brand you used for each product. For candistroy, there is nature's secret candistroy kit.. it contains 60 tablet of candistroy and another 60 of probiotic rebuilder.. should i buy this one? Also, which is better to take? in powder or in capsule form?
Well anyway, please do me a favor.. please list down the exact item and its brand (and also if its in powder or tablet form) that i need to buy.. i would really appreciate.. please.. please. please..=,)
Yes, i was referring to Nature's Secret Candistroy. If they come separately (I haven't seen it separately) I'd buy and take both.
As for the other (Glutamine, olive leaf extract, and caprylic acid) I used the Vitamin World brand, but any brand will do. IntestiNew is a substitute for glutamine, as it contains glutamine and some other good stuff. PB-8 is a brand name.
I tok all of them at the same time.
The best to you.
Kelley
Kelley, I can't wait to try this, thanks so much for posting the info. I just bought all the supplements you mentioned (plus a few more) at a really discounted price on http://www.vitacost.com/. I was amazed at how much cheaper they were than other sites, and no, I don't have a ding-dang thing to do with them! Will report back in a couple weeks with how it is going on your plan . . I had my baby two years ago, but I still look like I am a few months pregnant! As yeast has been an issue for me, maybe this is what I need to get back to where I was. thanks again.
How much of each ( olive extract and Caprylic acid) do we need to take? Does it change for children?
This is a very interesting article. I would love to try this on my husband :) but dont quite understand what I need to get. I would like to get the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid but cant find that as one product, is that right? How much of each of those will I need to get? I did see the other option you gave, Candistroy but it doesnt have olive leaf extract or caprylic acid in it.
As far as the caprylic acid I found some NSI CandidaClear that has 200mg per 2 capsules, is that good or bad? It also has other stuff in it though, is that ok?
Also I cant find a "multi-enzyme", the 4th thing you mentioned we would need. Can you give me more info on that?
Thanks so much for your time and for posting this article.
I would take one each of the caprylic acid and the olive leaf for the first week or two, and then increase to taking two each day after that for a month or two.
The reason for the low initial dosage is that when yeat and fungus die, they release about 80 toxins...the little buggers!...That can result in a TEMPORORY headache or other lousy feelings if the bloodstream gets overloaded.
When that happens to me, I'd drink more water to flush out the bad ol' yeast.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi PS,
I'm not familiar with "NSI CandidaClear" but if it has 200 mgs of capylic acid in it, it sounds like it could be a good product.
There are dozens if not hundreds of different multi-enzyme products. (It might be spelled without the hyphen "multienzymes" or as two words "multi enzymes." It might take some experimenting to find the best multi-enzyme that works best for you.
The one I like best is made by Vitamin World called "Extra strength Multi-Enzyme Formula" but you might find that a different one works best for you.
I've used "Candistroy," and in my experience it works well. There are many herbal candidad combinations that might do the job.
The recipe that has produced the startling results I refer to is the caprylic acid, olive leaf, glutamine, and PB-8 regimen. Still, I like to give you more choices.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Can you do this if you are nursing?
Thanks
Hi Christina,
First, let he honor and congratulate you for giving your baby the very best food and care there is.
Most natural supplement products have caution written by lawyers to avoid the whiff of any lawsuits advising expectant and nursing mothers to consult your doctor first.
Meanwhile, prescription drugs get prescribed to women!? Is the world upside down in that regard? You decide.
As such, I can't advise you any differently regarding the cautions. If it were me, however, I would do it. Absolutely, I would. Maybe a little more slowly, but I would definitely do it.
Here's my thinking on it...would you want to be nursing your baby while you have a candida infection? Wouldn't it be better to be eliminating any candida for you and your baby? What better way would there be to make sure your baby didn't get candida, or to get rid of any candida than to be nursing while supplementing with a candida protocol?
Still, I can't tell you to go ahead. It's the legal world we live in.
Please understand that I'm not advising you to do what I would do.
Even the PB-8 says no...which is ridiculous in my opinion.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hello,
I would like to congratulate you for the post. It is not only extremely informative but also it is a breath of fresh air to find advise with no monetary strings attached. Well done! I will try it and post on my results!
Hi Kelley! Thanks for the info and all the responses.
For Christina: I've nursed four, that's why I'm answering. I'm not an expert ;] The only thing I'd be worried about is the toxins Kelley mentioned might be released. "80 toxins" she said. I wouldn't want those let loose into my milk, ya know?
Kelley, I plan on emaling this out and coming back to respond once I've tried the regimen. I'm really thankful. I hope it works. ;]
Is this safe to do while breastfeeding?
It sounds great and makes tons of sense, and I can't wait to try it!
Hi all,
I'm nursing as well, my baby is almost 4 weeks and would like to loose all my pregnancy fat as well as the prepregnancy fat that i have gained, but as bonnie mentioned it might be risky with all the toxins coming out of the body...but how long shall i wait as am planning to nurse for long!
Kelly- you've mentioned that you are taking fat burner but as i know these 'supplements' affect the Kidneys and increase the heart rate, so what makes you take it...aren't the supplements which you have mentioned will aid in loosing weight?
Not all of the people have taken antibiotics are drank alcoholic beverages..does that means they still have candida?
I am also planning to take the contraceptive pill...will that work with the supplements u have mentioned?
Hope to here your feedback soon Kelly...btw it's a pleasure talking to you directly..!
Our food supply contains small amounts of antibiotics. Also, birth control pills promote yeast growth.
See my comments above about following the program while breast feeding.
Please be aware that the yeast produces toxins whether you are getting rid of them or not. They produce waste products just like all living mateiral does.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Thanks for your prompt reply Kelley, so is it fine if i take the pill with the supplements? or it won't work?
Off topic : Would you be able to e-mail me the contact of Seymour Brenner, M.D? or the Hospital or Clinic where he practice?
Dr. Brenner was retired when I met him. I haven't stayed in touch.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand your other question, Smaf. What other pill? You also said I was taking a fat burner previously. I'm not.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelley:
Does everyone benefit from this even if they don't have major symptoms - cravings and bloating?
If I understand correctly step 1 is a limited change but the others are to be continued daily to stay healthy, and I can begin to take all simultaneously for good/best results?
1) take Candistroy (olive leaf extract/caprylic acid) for a limited time - 2 boxes
2) take PB-8 continuously, daily from now on
3) take Intestinew (glucosamine powder) 2x per day from now on
4) take multi-enzyme daily from now on
Am I understanding correctly? Also, can I have my children do this as well - do I just use smaller dosages?
Thanks for the info!
Christina
About 70% of us in the US have this problem according to some research. If I didn't have the problem which can include far more than bloating, I wouldn't do it I personally think everyone would benefit from PB-8.
I would take the PB-8 from now on, and I do. Enzymes are something that can be taken indefinitely. I would only take the rest for a month or two.
If I still had young children, I would give it to them, too, in smaller doses perhaos for a shorter period of time.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelley,
I'm excited to try this! I recently started taking the Complete Probiotic sold on mercola.com. Should I continue with this or switch to one that you recommended? Also, I eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables already, but I still crave sweets and carbs though I limit the amounts. Does this sound like it could be caused by yeast? Thank you for this great information!!!!!
Healty Gramma
Although I'm not familiar with the details of Mercola's product, he doesn't sell junk. So I'd keep taking it.
It takes the entire protocol to get rid of yeast overgrowth. A probiotic by itself won't do the job, because overgrown yeast grows roots and won't budge easily.
Good luck to you, Gramma!
Kelley Eidem
Thanks Kelley. I've read a lot about yeast and the problems it causes and products that you can take but nothing as comprehensive as you suggest. I don't carry extra weight but look about 4-5 months pregnant almost all the time. It's so frustrating and I look forward to challenging this head on. Flat tummy here I come!
Hi again Kelley,
I meant the contraceptive pill, is it OK to take it with the mentioned regime?
How about someone with under-active Thyroid and on medication?
Sorry for bombarding u with lots of questions! LOL
Kelley - I just found Nature's Secret Liquid Gel Digestion Enzymes capsules
on Amazon, are they the same or similar to the multi-enzymes which you had mentioned?
Hello, can I do this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Hi to all of you,
And thanks to all of you, too.
Some of the questions that are being asked have been asked by others and answered previously. Thank you for your understanding. At some point I'll put up an FAQ to make it easier for you. But for now, you can go through my replies and your questions will be answered. Thanks.
The best to all of you.
Kelley Eidem
This sounds great Kelly. I'm gonna try it with my friend this summer!
Kelly, I found your link to this post on mercola.com. I'm so glad I came across it! I'm 24 years old and have known for a while that yeast has taken over my body. I had 2 babies in the past 18 months and have gained 70 pounds. I've had mastitis twice in the past 2 months (3 times total) amongst other yeast infections including a UTI. I tried to get rid of the yeast naturally by eliminating sugar and drinking kefir...but of course it didn't work because I kept craving sugar! I think the root of my yeast problem began with antibiotics in childhood and taking an antibiotic for 2 years straight for acne in my teens! Thanks so much for this wonderful information...it makes complete sense. Time to repair this body and feel like a hot 24 year old again! I will let you know how it works for me :)
Nikki, You're quite welcome! Your life could change dramatically now that you have this secret that applies to so many different health issues, including acne.
I look forward to hearing about your success.
Kelley
"I don't carry extra weight but look about 4-5 months pregnant almost all the time. It's so frustrating and I look forward to challenging this head on. Flat tummy here I come!"
To Debra, and anyone else who has this challenge. You might find it beneficial to follow-up the yeast cleanse with a parasite cleanse.
The yeast overgrowth allows parasites to take hold. So the first thing to do is to get the yeast under control.
Please don't get freaked out about the possibility of having parasites. We take parasites into our bodies practically all the time. When our internal system isn't overrun by yeast, the parasites get booted out.
So if you find the yeast cleanse doesn't completely solve the problem, I'd follow up with a parasite cleanse.
The best to all of you.
Kelley Eidem
I've been following the Body Ecology diet regime and am wondering if following your protocol, do we need to be on a complete restricted diet as well...ie: no brown rice, no grains but the alkaline ones... much raw... many veggies... fish, no nuts unless sprouted, keifer, cultured veggies with each meal, Probiotics,the only fruit are cranberries, and oh I forget the other.. I did well for the lst week or so and no cravings for sugar ... but now I'm having the cravings again... and WANT something sweet... What's your scoop on the limiting food? thanks.
Thanks for the info. I hope it works .
Carroll, my protocol worked for me without restricting what I ate.
My guess is that depriving our brain of sugar when we have cravings might be going against the body's wisdom. But when we kill off the yeast overgrowth, at some point we just stop craving the junk.
For me it took a while, but when it happened my cravings disappeared like flipping a light switch.
The best to you.
Kelley
kelley:
isnt it that candistroy's 2nd bottle a probiotic? do i have to take it also while taking pb-8 (or primal defense) which is also a probiotic?
You say after you do all this, you should stay on the probiotic, does that include the muti-enzyme also for the rest of your life?
Highly informative and extermly fun to read - like a good cosmo magazine article!
Great article. I had severe yeast overgrowth for 3 years and finally wiped most of it out with a 13 day fast- not the easiest way to go... I'm beginning to have problems again and so is my husband so we'll try this. One question, I'm taking glutamine in tablet form. Will this accomplish the goal as well as the powdered type?
Do you think stubborn toenail fungus could be eliminated with this regimen? Ive had it for over 10 years. Thanks!
Taz - I would still take the PB-8 in addition. If you didn't take it, you might end up being disappointed with your results.
Terrie - I'd take the enzymes for as long as they helped. I've continued to take them for several years. I seem to need fewer now.
Nell - a teaspoon of the powder has several grams of glutamine in it. You'd probably need to take 10 tablets at one time to equal the strength of the powder.
Nancy - I'd do the program while applying a diluted tea tea oil, or tea tree lotion to my toenails. Make sure it's not too strong or it could feel like a "burning"... you don't want that.
Obviously, treating it topically won't do the job because it comes from way up yonder in you tummy. But the topical application could speed up clearing out the stuff under your toe nails.
Hi Kelley,
I have been reading a lot about parasites and ugly eyeless creatures residing in our insides (colons, etc) and it's one of the causes of bloating and fat fat fat! What is your perspective on this? I'm thinking of trying Colonix for cleansing..
Hi Kelley, I'm sorry if this is a repeat but all I can find about breastfeeding is this:
"See my comments above about following the program while breast feeding."
Where do I look above? I do a search for breast and I'm not finding the answer.
Hi jlj,
It's in the comments section in my answer to Christina. I tried to copy and paste it but it won't copy.
Kelley
Kelley: I thought I knew there all there is to know about holistic health, but this information is an eye opener for me! A thumbs up to your article!
I did use the link that one of the others posted and there was a significant savings on the purchases. I purchased the kit that comes with the 2 bottles and the IntestiNew. Can someone tell me if I am correct that all three should be taken together and possiblily buy a kit for one more month to get the best results?
Bella Terra - I would start everything at the same time. They work together. Of one is left out, the results would be nothing like taking them all together.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
I have an allergy to wheat gluten and have been trying to eat only gluten free. Does this glutamine power contain wheat gluten???
Perri - I don't know, but it is unlikely. Glutamine is an amino acid. Wheat gluten is a protein. There are thousands of different proteins. All of them are made from various amino acids.
You can't be allergic to glutamine or you would be with the angels instead of alive here.
To assure yourself, you could do a google search.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Olive leaf extract is an antibiotic. Won't this kill off the friendly bacteria in the colon?
Joanne - it's a natural antibiotic, anti-fungal, and anti-viral.
I don't pretend to know better than nature how it works so well...so well that it has worked time and again. It just works...unlike prescription antibiotics which only kills bacteria while allowing the yeast to spread.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Thank you, Kelley. I should have searched "nursing" as well but didn't think of it.
Kelley, you have done a great job presenting some very valuable information that can potentially change peoples lives for the better. My background is in nutrition so I know that all you are saying is right on. The first and most important thing I learned about a healthy body was if you keep the intestinal flora healthy, it is easy to have a healthy body. As you mention in your hub having healthy flora (with no empty spots) is the key to craving the right kind of foods and having no desire for those foods that are unhealthy. It is the easy way to optimal health. Great Job!
This is to Hope. Can you tell me which products that you bought off of that website for this yeast cleanse? I am on a low income and would really like to do this because i look a few month pregnant myself.
Also can you tell me how you went about taking these products? What quantity of each per da?
Kelley,
This is the type of thing I'm always looking for: simple, inexpensive, doable, realistic!!! Looking everywhere for answers for years is so exhausting and contradictory (so many opposing ideas). You seem to find the things I'm always searching for but wouldn't discover on my own.
I've read through this entire thread and it sounds like what my entire family is going through to different degrees.
I have a slightly different angle but still related, I believe. Our son has a chronic cough (which after all the consulting we've done in every direction we believe is an allergy (or allergies). He's also got ENCOPRESIS which he's probably had most of his life. I think we just didn't identify it when toilet training was slow. We think he's got lots of yeast-related problems including weight gain (so do we), probably some reflux, some ADD-like behavior, spaciness, leaky gut, etc. He also had lots of ear infections, colic and diaper rashes as a baby with the resulting antibiotics, ear tubes, etc.
Killing the yeast and healing the holes in the gut sounds like it would be just the thing for him. I found another site using a medication and limiting food choices for several months to probably a couple of years but that's so hard with all the conflicting info, busy lives, disagreement in philosophies (in our own family) at times, etc.
What do you think? Do you think it'd be a major help to him? He's 11, going on 12, and on the big side for his age (5'0") and over 110 lbs. (perhaps closer to 120?).
Thanks for this article! It's wonderfully different from anything else I've read anywhere!!!
I forgot to ask about dosages for someone that age and size.
Thanks, again!
Hi Floanne -
I'd like to be able to prescribe, but the law won't let me. In general, when it comes to natural products the dosage is based on a 150 pound person.
If it were me, I'd also take into account the age in addition. So if it were my son, I'd go with half a dose of each product. Then I'd monitor how my son was doing.
With a yeast cleanse, one can expect some temporary symptoms on occasion. For me it was a headache. For others it might be something else.
I just drink more water if that happens and cut back for a day if necessary.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
has anyone tried this yet and it worked besides Kelly Eidem?Please keep informed
Hi linbones - thanks for making that request! Please provide your own experiences everyone!
Sure the true stories I've told are great, but lets get this rolling. As more of you have success, it'll inspire others to get started.
It may take a few weeks or longer for this to kick in. Sometimes it seems like little or nothing is happening and then over night the cravings vanish.
There may be a wide variety of other issues that also clear up, as well.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelley,
This is definately working for me! Yes, a flatter stomach.
I'm not overweight but I am not happy with my weight right now...If I eat, I gain if I don't eat, I gain. I am 5 feet 7 inches 14x. lbs but need to be 13x lbs.
I started this regimen around May 17. Candistroy, (per the package dosage) PB-8 (per the package dosage), glutamine, and All-Zyme Double Strength. All these Items I got at Whole Foods---I really wanted Intestinew instead of the glutamine, but they didn't have it at WF.
I have lost five pounds thus far. (literally a pound a day) I couldn't be happier right now. I hope this is not a tease.
Questions for you if you could please answer:
Did you have any stomach discomfort? One day I only used half the dosage and my stomach did hurt a little bit. (it could have been something I ate)
The package on the PB-8 indicates not to exceed the dosage, but would taking the Candistroy probiotic increase/exceed the dosage of the probiotic;What is the harm,if any, in that?
Did your weightloss stall after a while? Did you do anything to resolve that issue or did you stay patient?
Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Y
ylandgirl - glad to hear you're getting instant results. Not everyone gets that quick response. (I don't know why this part is bold?!)
Each person's experience will be a little different. Whenever I'd get a headache, I'd drik a some extra water and cut back for a day. For some there might be some temporary tummy discomfort as your body eliminates stuff that you WANT to discard.
I never had any problem taking Candistory and the PB-8 at the same time.
My weight came down...how much I couldn't say since I'm not a scale person. I recent years I've been dealing with a back injury (small broken bone) from long ago that has made it a real challenge to walk more than a few hundred yards.
A little over a year ago, I fell. Since then, I've gotten almost no physical activity. So while I don't have the old food cravings, such as for ice cream and Dove chocolates, my weight isn't where I'd like it to be.
If I'd still had the cravings, I'd probably had a major coronary by now...no doubt about it.
In the past two weeks or so, I've gotten a passive exercise machine called a Chi Machine (http://www.hteamericas/A229027), that appears to be helping me quite a bit. It lets me lie down while it moves my body. I really like it, and can recommend it.
If I keep progressing as I have been these two weeks, I'm looking forward to being able to walk normally. It might also be helping me shed a few pounds which I'm grateful for.
The Chi Machine would probably be beneficial for anyone who is following the yeast program because it helps to flush the lymph system.
The best to you..

Kelley,
Thank you for addressing the dosage part of my question from yesterday! Did you have any thoughts on the encopresis, cough, weight gain, allergies, etc. (see above) that my son's experiencing and whether this would be of much use to him with his many different symptoms? Thanks again!
Floanne - It looks like encopresis can be due to a variety of causes. So it would depend on the cause. The PB-8 makes bowel movements much easier in my experience. Encopresis often occurs due to prior difficulty due to constipation.
I'm not allowed to predict the benefits of what any particular person might gain. I do look forward to hearing from you, if you decide this method would be worth persuing. If my child had encopresis, allergies and weight gain, I'd definitely go ahead and try it for a few weeks or even more.
The best to you.

Excellent article. I look forward to starting this tomorrow. I take an organic probiotic which has done wonders. But no weight loss or flat tummy so I am assuming I need to clean the yeast out.
I will keep you updated! Thanks again!
Amy Meyers
Kelley,
Thanks for your answer! My son's cough has been really bad just recently again. My husband wants to try Claritin again (super hyperactive on that -- can't say I want to see that effect again) or some other med. I'm going to do a little more research on this. If I try it, I'll let you know what happens! Many thanks for all your efforts!
I have actually used various intestinal cleansing programs in hopes that it will flatten my stomach but nothing worked. I weigh 132 pounds. That is a tiny bit overweight for me, but i look like i am about 140 lbs because of my stomach being a bit rounded. I have had this stomach ever since middle school and would like to resolve the problem.
Hi Kelley,
I began taking these supplements per package dosage recommendations 2 weeks ago, but stopped after 3 days when I had the worst stomach pain I've ever experienced. It began with excess sulfur smelling gas, including rotton egg burps, and slight stomach discomfort which became increasingly more painful throughout the night. It got so bad that I made myself vomit to relieve the pain! I finally got the "stomach" to try the supplement combination again yesterday, but I did not take any today because I experienced minor stomach pain last night and didn't want it to get any worse. I was really excited when I read about this anctedote, because I really need to rid my body of yeast to become healthier. I want to continue taking the supplements, but don't want the nasty sick feeling again. Have you heard of this happening to anyone before? Do you think it would be beneficial for me to reduce dosage or cut out a particular supplement? Please let me know!
Hi Nikki - There are so many possible causes of your response: allergies to one or more of the products, detoxifying too fast, not drinking enough water, drug interactions, etc.
I can't advise you as to what to do. If it were me, I'd try just one product, starting with the PB-8 for a few days, then adding either the caprylic acid or the olive leaf extract for a few days, and so on. I'd also make sure I drank plenty of water.
Then I'd observe my response.
If it turns out you're allergic to one of the products, let me know and I'll tell you about some substitutes.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Thanks, Kelley-
It is entirely possible that I wasn't drinking enough water! I'll ease my way back into the supplements one at a time and keep my Klean Kanteen handy all day so I remember to drink enough water. I'll let you know how it goes!
OK...I really appreciate what you've written and all the clarification that people are asking for. I am still confused because I think that in the diffrent posts different products are being discussed that ultimately do the same thing. I have been reading all the posts for the last hour trying to decipher what exactly to buy. I went to vitacost.com and have the following things in my shopping cart and woud very appreciate a confirmation that I am about to buy the right things. I want to have enough to at least do this for one month and possibly 2. If you could give me a heads up, I would be grateful. I'm afraid I'm repeating something or missing something. I understand that different brands are OK and that you are not selling anything. I just want to make sure that I have selected the right thing.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
Currently in my shopping cart waiting TO BUY:
Nature's Way Olive Leaf - 60 capsules....should I buy 2 of these?
NSI CandidaClear - 120 capsules
PB 8 Pro-Biotic Acidophilus - 120 capsules
Renew Life IntestiNew - 90 capsules....should I get 120?
Have I missed anything? Thank you!
Hi Laura,
I would take only one each of the olive leaf and the caprylic acid a day for the first two weeks. After that, two of each a day. You can compute the amount you want to buy from that.
PB-8: I would take two a day.
I mentioned Candistroy. The CandidaClear is most likely a good substitute. But I wouldn't take the olive leaf/caprylic acid AND the CandidaClear. I would choose one or the other.
You will have to decide how much of the Intestinew you'll need, and there's no way to know for sure in advance. It's a really outstanding product, so doing it a bit longer could be a good thing.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
OK...thank you so much! So I am NOT going to buy the Olive leaf because I'll be getting that in the candidaclear. Everything else sounds right.
I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly! My husband follows the Primal Diet and has reversed his MS. Are you familiar with Aajonus Vonderplanitz and his Primal Diet? His book is called We Want To Live. You can google him. We have met 100's of people who have cleaned up their cancers, tumors, diabetes, MS, etc. with this diet. It's pretty extreme but it absolutely works and makes complete sense. I'd google Aajonus if you would like more information. Even Dr. Mercola supports Aajonus and eating raw.
God Bless you for being willing to try and make a difference! Common sense if often hard for people to believe.
Thanks again!
Laura
Thank you, Laura. The primal diet sounds like it can make you healthy!
Meanwhile, I cured my own stage 4 cancer quite easily without having to go on an extreme diet...something not everyone is willing to do. I have a separate hub on how I did it.
Kelley Eidem
great info thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
Even though i am a fit size 6 i still have a puffy tummy and flabby skin after giving birth 10 years ago. I have tried everything, except this program and it really makes sense to me.
I also tried Fucoxanthin which increases the activity of the mitochondria of the cells and i finally have my waist back, unfortunately i still have some saggy belly skin and i wonder there is anything to add to this program to assist with the flabbies too.
What about Xylitol, i read that it was the only thing to kill fungus. Would that be good to add to the regimine killing off the fungal part of the yeast? I know you have a complete regimen but just wanted to know because i am impatient to get all of this cleared out.
Thanks, jen
Jen - Xylitol would be a good addition, for sure. As for saggy skin, that could be something different than a yeast overgrowth. Not all things are caused by yeast overgrowth.
I recall many years ago, when I worked as a massage therapist, a young man who had been severly overweight, but had gotten back to a normal size and had done so in a short period of time. He credited getting massages with preventing his getting saggy skin.
My own case is an example that not all extra pounds are due to yeast overgrowth...most tummy bloat is due to yeast...maybe 70%...just not all.
I don't have cravings for sugars and starches, but I still have to deal with weight issues because of an old broken bone in my back which limits my ability to walk any distance or exercise.
If I had the yeast problem in addition to my back problem, there's no telling how bad off I'd be.
Kelley Eidem
great info thank you
For Natasha: I bought the Candistroy, which is what is mentioned in the article. I have been following the regimen pretty faithfully, and though once in a while did experience the (for me, slight) stomach pain and gas mentioned by Nikki, frankly I was just glad to be getting stuff out of me, and kept right on going. It got better/went away. I think I will follow Kelly's suggestion to try the Parastroy after my first round of Candistroy is gone (especially because Vitacost sent me discount coupons for it as well), but also I have spent time in tropical countries, and I am sure I have been exposed to parasites. My stomach is still not flat, but I feel lighter, and am increasing yoga and pilates classes at the ymca . . . its gonna work, I know it. Hang in there (no pain no gain).
Thank you for your reply Kelley!
This is definitely still working;I stopped being so greedy at about the second week. This is most unusual. I always thought this was a family trait of volume eating. My brothers and I thought we had tapeworms when we were growing up because we were always hungry and eating. Do you think I should stop the regimen? (I hate taking supplements) I only take it 3 to 4 times a week now. I am almost at the four-week mark. I will be looking into your book pretty soon. You have caught my attention.
God Bless.
Hope - Thank you for the incouragement!
ylandgirl - I can't prescribe so let me answer it this way: if it were me, I would stay with it at least one month, probably longer, maybe two months....sorry :-). I'd continue to take the PB-8 for life.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelley,
I will continue on the regimen...It's not so bad, after all.
IS THE Chi Marchine still working well for you? Are you walking better? I hope so!
Thanks again
Thanks, yslandgirl. Yes, it is helping me. A close friend says I'm more pleasant to be around since I started using it! Who knew! LOL!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Dear Kelley,
Thank you for your response and i bought your book. Very interesting!
In the past i tried a candida cleanse by itself and it felt incomplete so i did not continue. Now including the probiotics and intestinew my body feels more supported, that this a more complete program. My first response is clearer skin, i was astonished. I was also able to be more graceful under fire. Love that.
It's interesting that you state a back problem, because that is my specialty and i offer treatment for you with gratitude if you so choose at www.theessentialconnection.com
Jen
Thank you, jenjenn. I'm pleased that you like the book.
It's great to hear about your astonishing success for your skin and your abilty to handle stress better!
Each part is necessary because, for instance the holes in the intestines need to be repaired if one is to feel better. Otherwise partially digested food particles can pass through, causing havoc in the bloodstream.
So if one wants to recover from a yeast overgrowth, getting the yeast under control is only one part of it...the other part is to restore the intestinal tissues.
Thanks for the offer regarding my back. I have a grade 3-4 spondylolisthesis (sp?) of the L-5 with an obliterated pars. Two doctors told me it was the worst they'd seen. Ironically, my other spinal bones are like those of a 25-year old, based on the MRI. Not bad for a 57-year old.
A chiropractor said it had improved from 23 degrees off kilter to 20 degrees aftermaybe a dozen adjustments. He then revealed that he hadn't expected any structural improvement. Rather the treatments were to help relieve the symptoms.
So far, CoQ10 (400 mgs taken at once daily) has reduced the pain upwards of 90%..it has continued to work for six months now.
I've also been using a Chi Machine, affectionatle known as an "ankle wiggler.' It has also helped quite a bit. It provides passive exercise, which is an improvement over what I'd been doing, which was basically nothing. (I tried swimming, but proceeded to aggravate my neck quite a bit.)
If I write any more, you'll be wanting a consultation fee. LOL!
BTW, I'm presently in FL. If I get to CA, I'll let you know!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Dear Kelley,
Here are 3 goldnuggets.
I persoanlly have had the best chiropractic results with a method called Bio Geometric Integration. www.bgiseminars.com After balancing the tone of the entire human frame, the source of what is causing the dysfunction appears more clearly. I help people after they have already tried other chiropractic approaches, because some systems are too traumatized for the regular quick crack which is a microtrauma to those more sensitive. You may fall into that category. At the website there is a referral section for someone in your area to give a try.
Remember the spondlolisthesis is a symptom, not necessarily the cause of pain. Many with that same sympton experience no pain, so its not the cause if you see the human frame as a series of pullys and levers such as the tensegrity model promoted by Buckminster Fuller we see in the geodesic dome at Disney.
If swimming aggravated the neck... often we hold our chin up instead down in daily activity instead of parallel to the ground. When the chin is held up, it disconnects the head from the bodys neurological feedback decreasing information from the rest of the body below it about how to move properly, not to mention putting the system into a cortisol response.
There are 2 powerful products to relieve pain.
Pregnenolone the mother hormone
Endorphigen ,a precursor to endorphins need i say more?, made by Lidtke www.biochemicals.com
A healthy body helps us live a joyfull life. I wish you the best.
Jen
Thank you, Jen. You've given me a lot of great stuff to work with here!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi everyone! I have been doing the program for several weeks now, I'm on my second box of Candistroy, and I have been having many of the symptoms that Kelley and the box of Candistroy say that are proof this is working, (ie, minor face breakouts when I have very clear skin, at first I had stomach aches too, but not as severly as some it sounds like!...and some increased energy) however, I still crave sugar and unhealthy food like crazy! I have never been much of a pop drinker, maybe 2 or 3 a month, but I want one every day! Did anyone else feel like this? I have tried to "be good" and not eat lots of gluten and reverse the effects of all the supplements, I had just hoped by now I would be doing a little better! My 25th b-day is in 2 weeks and I wanted to be on my way to losing a little weight by then. Also, I have a sandpaper-like rash all over my stomach, and the lady at the health-food store said it was possible to get a rash when doing a cleanse, anyone else have this? Thanks for all the info, hope we all have flat tummmies soon!
TJ - Thank you for your feedback.
I remember once, when I was doing a long fast of several days duration, suddenly out of nowhere, having the image of hotdog jump into my mental vision...so much so that it was all I could do to keep from going to the 7-11 and buying one right then!
It struck me at the time that it must have been a hotdog 'leaving' my body as it were. I wonder of your pop craving is a similar kind of thing.
You might trying drinking a glass of water each time you get a pop craving. Also, rinking extra water can help reduce any cleansing reaction or help to complete it quicker.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
All of this is really confusing to me. Perhaps I will go to Vitamin World in the mall to see what they suggest. I wanted to wear a skin-tight shirt tonight, but when I put it on, I looked horrible! Darn this bloated stomach!
Hi There - the tummy has flattened and the sinuses are the clearest they've been in weeks!
This is great!
What is different with this cleanse is adding the PB-8 and the Intestinew. I have done the candida cleanse in past with marginal results, adding the probiotics gives faster results.
Thanks
Kelley,
I was looking at LaurainHawaii's post about supplements from Vita-cost which is where I was looking to buy supplements, as well. As far as I could tell, the NSI Olive Leaf Extract contained only Olive Leaf and not caprylic acid. The NSI CandidaClear did contain caprylic acid but not Olive Leaf.
So...if you didn't buy the Olive Leaf Extract separately, I can't see that you'd get it in the other supplements. I'm looking at exactly the ones she mentioned (as far as I can tell). You would want to include the Olive Leaf in that case, right?
Another question for you, if you don't mind. Getting back to my son's encopresis -- would taking the Glutamine longer be a good thing for him -- to heal the leaky gut syndrome?
Many thanks, as always!
Flo
Hi Floanne,
Go ahead and get the olive leaf and caprylic acid separately. It's my fault for writing the directions poorly. The combination kills yeast/fungi very effectively, but I haven't seen them combined into one product. You want two separate products because you want the dosage to be strong enough.
As for the glutamine, if it were me, I would go by the symptoms, continuing to take it for a little while longer to make sure the job was completed. The symptoms and the duration are going to vary from person to person.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Jenjenn, thank you for the great feedback! It'll help inspire more men and women to try it.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelley,
Thanks for your timely and helpful comments again!
Flo
I just ordered the products you mentioned on VitaminWorld.com. I wanted to list them here to make sure they are the right thing, then also to give the information to others who may be interested.
L-Glutamine Powder #005577 $19.99
Super Strength Multi Enzyme #013012 $20.49
PB 8 Pro Biotic Acidophilus #060969 $19.49
Olive Leaf Extract #006562 $13.99
Caprylic Acid #003181 $8.99
I am very excited to get started. I have been on antibiotics off and on since I was a teenager. I have over 100 pounds to lose. I crave carbs and coffee. Since I have a major amount of weight to lose, are there any more risks with the "yeast die-off effect" with this program than if a person just had to lose, say 20 lbs.? I am a teacher and am off for the summer, so fortunately I have a little more flexibility if I am feeling awful. Should I be doing this under the supervision of a naturopath or some other health care professional? Thanks for any advice you can give, and thank you for this information. It just all seems to make so much sense!!!
Hi Mushroom,
I'd start slowly. For instance, rather than starting all of them at the same time, I'd hold back on either the caprylic acid OR the olive leaf for a few days. I'd also drink plenty of water...a half ounce for each pound of body weight.
I might also start with a gentle colon cleanse for a few weeks prior to starting if you haven't done that. Or alternatively, I might take the PB-8 by itself until I produced a huge bowel movement, and then add the rest of the program.
Yes, it would be a good idea to work with a naturopath. They'll be able to monitor you and fine tune it based on your particular needs.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelly
Great topic. What helped me is HCG diet. I lost weight and stopped sugar cravings. I had a problem with losing that belly and had cravings for sugar, bread, candies and everytthing that was sweet. I think your information is very helpful to people and it is true that there are natural ways of gettign back in shape!
Love for you to be my fan. We have lots in common!
Tatyana Gann
Hi Kelley,
This is all so interesting and informative. Thank you! I have one question for you. While researching some of the products you mentioned, I found some suggestions of including bentonite or activated charcoal into this regimen for full benefit. Would you agree with this suggestion? Are there any drawbacks to including such a product? I appreciate the advice. I will be starting this plan tomorrow.
Hi Me,
Bentonite is useful for pulling old 'stuff' that doesn't belong there from the intestines. That sounds like a good idea to me. I'm not sure how long it's indicated for.
I would only use charcoal for brief periods, such as to help remedy food poisoning, especially the severe gas pains. It's great for that. Othrs may know more about it and have a different opinion.
The best to you.
Kelley
Hi Kelly Thanks for the wonderful information. I went to Whole Foods and stocked up and started the regime this morning together with eliminating sugar and all bread and wheat products from my diet. I recently underwent a colon cleanse and it made me feel wonderful. However, I want to try to get rid of an itch I get every so often on my hands and feet and some acid reflux and indigestion that I feel might be related to yeast as well as try to curb cravings for bad food that cause the acid reflux. No harm in trying. The guy who assisted me in Whole Foods suggested taking a milk thistle supplement also to help the liver deal with the toxins it will have to deal with as a result of the yeast being destroyed. What do you think?
Hi Ginasusie,
It sounds good to me. I'd be sure to drink plenty of water, and I'd probably only take one milk thistle a day, since it can be cleansing was well. Initially, milk thistle can produce discomfort as it cleans up the liver.
If you slip up on elimination of sugar, etc., don't worry. What I like about the combo I suggested is that sooner or later those cravings go away by themselves even if you haven't gone cold turkey on them.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
hello,
I have been doing the full yeast cleanse for a little over two weeks now. I am taking 2 yeast cleanse 2x a day, 2 probiotics 1x a day, 1 tsp. of Glutamine, and 1 olive leaf extract .I have discovered recently that I seem to have vaginitis. Could this be a result of cleansing the yeast out of my system???? Could it be that I am not drinking enough water?
Also... is there any kind of home-remedy for vaginitis that you are aware of?
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
~Sarah
Hi Sarah,
It is a real good idea to drink a half ounce of water for each pound of body weight while doing this.
The way I tell if I'm cleansing is if it goes away in a day or so. I've read elsewhere that women have great success with a yogurt douche. You might Google that for instructions.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
thank you for the quick response. i'll try the yogurt tonight. i was still wondering if you think the problem i'm having could be a result of the yeast cleanse? meaning that because they're being destroyed in my intestines could be causing a yeast vaginitis. please let me know your thoughts on this. thanks so much!!! sarah
Hi Sarah,
I wish I could answer your question, but I'm not allowed to diagnose. It could be that the vaginitis is present just as you say. I just can't tell you that it is or it isn't. Thanks for your understanding.
Kelley Eidem
Thanks for the information. I have bookmark your article and ask my brother to see it. Once again thanks.
I need to lose 50 lbs.Please tell me how to start? I've just recently did a colon cleansing and I am ready to start. I had a gastric by-pass done Aug 03' and lost 92lbs. My original weight was 285lbs'. Imanaged to keep all the weight off until this year. I feel very bloated and irritable all the time and have gained back 37lbs. I have purchased all the items as you listed , but I need to know how to start? how much to take ? what to start with?
Hi Mrs. P,
If it were me, I would start with all of them at the same time. I would take two of the PB-8 at least once a day.
With the olive leaf extract and the caprylic acid, I'd start with one of each a day, and increase them to two a day after two weeks.
I'd take about 5 grams of glutamine powder in water twice a day. Or follow the directions on the IntestiNew if I were taking that in place of the glutamine.

I tried that Dannon yogurt with "immune system" enzymes and my peridontal disease cleared up, so there really does seemto be something to the idea of our modern lifestyle or diet having damaged our ability to digest and use food well.
Can it be this easy to get rid of my "permanent pregnancy?" Low cost and harmless to try!
Wonderful information! So many people don't know about the "good bacteria" and yeast problem and doctors just don't tell you. Thanks for sharing this great information.
Now that I've started my program, could you please tell me what is the best possible way to get maxiumn results?Is this program considered a fast or a cleanse, and is being on a menu of 1200 calories per day ok, or should I not eat at all, and just drink my water? Are their any special items I should or should not eat?
Hi Mrs P.,
That's a good question you've asked. This is not a fast. It's a yeastfungus/mold cleanse. There are no special dietary requirements. That's why it's effortless.
The idea behind this program is that when enough of the yeast is gone, one's taste buds change, and you end up not wanting the ones that bloat us up, make us foggy headed, clog our sinuses, promote allergies and auto immune disorders and acne, etc.
Of course you can diet along with it if you wish to. That's entirely up to you.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi Kelly, I ordered everything per your suggestions and now it is all here.
The PB-8, The Intestinew and the Candidaclear.
I just logged on to write down the qty and frequency and saw that someone asked you about my last comment and why I would not need olive leaf & caprillac acid. You had said take either those 2 OR the candidaclear, not both. In your repsonse to them you corrected that and seemed to say take it all. Should I buy olive leaf and caprillac acid as well and take it WITH the candidaclear? If so, can I start everything else while I wait for it to arrive? Are they necessary?
Also, I just ordered phosphatidylserine for memory. It seemed to also come highly recommended. Do you see any problem with starting this at the same time?
And finally, my husband might or might not try this as well. They only supplement he takes is DHEA. Do you see any conflict with this?
I do appreciate all your help! Thank you.
Whoops, one final question please. A long time friend recommended the product Body Mint. She's been taking it for 20 years and says that she has NO body order...feet, mouth, underarms, etc. because of it. Each tablet has 100mg of Chlorophyllin from Cholorphyll and you are supposed to take one in the morning and one at night. Would this interefere with the candida thing I'm about to do? I'd like to add it to my regiment.
Thanks!
Hi Laurain,
The CandidaClear might work as a substitute for the olive leaf and caprylic acid. I'm a big fan of PS (phosphatidylserine) especially when it's taken with fish oil. The combination can help to generate new brain circuits.
I'm not familiar with Body Mint. Sounds good. Does it have sugar or any other sweetners in it, including artificial sweetners? That would impact my own choice on whether to take it.
If I were taking DHEA, I wouldn't have any hesitation taking the tummy flattening program.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Thanks Kelly! I will proceed without the Capryllic acid & olive leaf. Also the PS. The Body Mint has nothing in it but the chlorophyll. So it's OK to take with everything else?
I look forward to the results I know I'm going to get!
Laura
Hi Kelley,
Thank you for the information and keeping it simple about the effects of Candida. bloated tummy foggy head clogged sinuses allergies auto immune disorders, etc
My tummy is less bloated after 3 weeks on the diet.
I have also learned that Candida serves a purpose - to sequester heavy metal toxicity. When i had my mercury fillings removed the dentist didn't do it properly and i got some toxicity and think that is when the bloating and fatigue really started, not to mention unknowingly being a medical experiment for Methotrexate. I should sue but that's another story.
So when the candida is killed off, then it releases mercury and other heavy metals into the body including the brain. I heard there is a certain kind of algae that will not only remove the toxins from the intestines but also prevent them from going to the brain and other parts. I think nature's Sunshine makes a heavy metal detox product but i don't know if the cilantro and algae are formulated to work outside the instestines to remove the heavy metals.
I would love to hear your comments about this.
Jen
Hi Jenjenn,
Mercury is a major pernicious problem in promoting yeast overgrowth. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that.
Cilantro is great for getting mercury to the intestines, but it needs help in getting it out. Otherwise the mercury can get resabsorbed and redeposited somewhere else. I've read that apple pectin helps to get the mercury expelled.
Chlorella is supposed to be another, perhaps mild, mercury chelator. I think it takes the mercury all the way out.
Nature's Sunshine makes high quality products. Maybe the algae is there to complete the elimination process.
Ionic foot baths and detox pads are also effective for removing heavy metals.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
I am glad to hear this has worked for so many, it hasn't done a darn thing for me. I followed the whole program exactly as it was in the article, I would even try to stay away from yeast if I could! I still have all of the same cravings I did before, and my belly isn't flatter at all! I am carrying an extra 25 lbs is all, mostly in my belly, hips, and thighs, and I'm not so silly to think that not mostly fat instead of yeast overgrowth, I just really wanted it to help me with my late afternoon sugar craving! I thought about getting another box of the Candistroy, but it is expensive, and I don't want to keep throwing $ after nothing! Any ideas?
Hi TJ,
Sorry for not getting to your question sooner. Yesterday was a busy day and night.
I'm sorry you haven't gotten the results you wanted, especially the continued cravings. There are a few possibilities. I
First, it might take two rounds of the program depending how much yeast overgrowth there is. When the crazings are gone, then we naturally eat better, and more fat can be used up.
The effect of one's cravings going away is necessarily a gradual improvement. Rather the cravings can disappear overnight at any given point. For some people it takes longer than for others.
Another possibility is the presence of mercury. We typically get this from mercury amalgam fillings, athough there are other sources.
It appears that mercury promotes yeast overgrowth in a big way. If you think this might apply to you, you might do an internet search to get instructions on how to start getting rid of it. Look at several sites, because it's not a quickie topic.
Yet another possibility is continued use of antibiotics, birth control pills, steroids, and pehaps other medications. I'm not saying you're doing that, but I'm including it here for anyone who might be reading this.
If you are taking ANY medications, you could check with your pharmacist to see if any of them promote yeast growth.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi kelley, I started the program a little over a month ago, and I'm not having any noticeable results. I've been taking 500 mg of olive leaf extract, 2,160 mg of caprylic acid, a probiotic from mercola.com, the glutamine powder, and drinking lots of water everyday. I'm also making my own kefer from raw milk and making a smoothie each day. I eat a healthy mostly raw diet, I'm 5ft. 4 in. tall, and weigh 125 lbs, power walk 3 mi. most every day. But still have a bloated belly! I also work my abs using a stability ball twice a week.I'm considering doing a colon cleanse. I was interested to know if you have heard of Dr Natura's colon cleanse Colonix? I've been on the website reading about it. It sounds really good. Lots of amazing testimonies!! But it's expensive (though they offer a 60 day money back guarantee). I'm skeptical and would appreciate any insight. Do I need to finish the yeast cleanse before I can start a colon cleanse. I really appreciate any input you could give me. Thanks!! Jennifer
Hi healthy gramma,
First off, you're to be congratulated for your extensive health program. Way to go girl!
When you run out of Mercola's probiotic, I would replace it with PB-8. I'd also double the olive leaf extract.
There are many good colon cleanses, Dr. Natura's looks pretty impressive, although I have no personal experience with it. Yes, I would complete the yeast cleanse before starting the other to avoid risking too much toxicity being relased at once.
Also, while tho smoothie could be healthy, it depends on what the recipe is. Smoothies can either help with losing weight or gaining weight depending on what is in it.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelley, Thank you for your quick response and for the encouragement. I'm going to increase the olive leaf extract and see if that makes a difference. I am seriously considering the colonix cleanse, but I'd feel better if I could get some info from anyone who knows anything personally about it. Thanks so much! jennifer
Is it possible to substitute psyllium husk power for the glutamine power? I have quite a lot of it, and is the double strength multi enzyme a vitimine? I take 1000mg of B-12, vitamin C and flax seed daily along with what you have suggested. Is that ok to do?
Hi Mrs. P,
Psyllium is a good thing, but I'm sorry, it's not a substitute for glutamine. As far as I know, enzymes aren't classified as vitamins.
Although I can't prescribe for you, yes those supplements are A-OK.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi again,
You had suggested doing a colon cleanse before doing the program. When I went to go buy one, an alternative they showed me was a tea called Nature's Tea. The top ingredient was senna, plus it had other ingredients, some being: buckthorn, peppermint, stevia, uva ursi, and others. I bought it because it was cheaper, but the package is unclear about how often to use it, and when I look on-line, different websites say different things, one being that senna can be dangerous to use long-term. So do you have any ideas about how many cups a person should drink and how often? Then how soon after should I start the yeast-cleansing program? Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
Hi Mushroom,
I'm not familiar with that particular product. It sounds like it could be more of a laxative tea rather than a colon cleanser. You might call the store where you bought it and ask them.
Laxatives weaken the colon muscles over time, whereas a true colon cleanser helps to tone the muscle. I would start the yeast cleanse immediately after the colon cleanse.
Either one can be used first, for those who are wondering.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Thank you for responding. I actually bought it at my chiropractor's office. I don't know the name of the other one that they sold, but it's in a white bottle with all green lettering, and the office manager told me that as soon as you mixed it with a liquid, you have to shake it really well and drink it fast because it turns into a gel. Does that sound like an actual colon cleanse? What can I look for on the packaging to know that it's the right kind (I've never done one before). Or, do you have a particular brand that you recommend? Thank you again!!! :-)
For those looking to do a really quality colon cleanse, I have done the Arise & Shine cleanse for years. It is one of THE BEST cleanses you can do, probably 2nd to Dr. Schultz's cleanse which is VERY stringent. Go to Ariseandshine.com and you will find all their info. The cleanse is 30 days and is a combination of raw foods, psyllium shakes, herbs, chompers and clay. You can buy the whole set from them. You WILL LOSE WEIGHT on this if you don't cheat. I do it about 1 x a year and easily lose 20-25lbs. It also cleans up all kinds of diabetes, cancers, etc. and gets your ph under control. I've known many people that have done it and benefited. I like to do it with my husband or a friend for support. What comes out of your colon is amazing. You will want to buy the book and really understand what is happening to make it even more effective. The first few days are rough as you will be majorly de-toxing but after that you will feel like a new person. Really read about it and it will make a lot of sense. Other cleanses don't have you alter your diet which is nice and convenient but not as effective. Good luck!
Lauren, thank you so much for the info. I checked out the website. They are probably wonderful products, but the problem is that I can't afford such a costly program at this point. Also, I am a teacher, and have only till mid-August to get going on this anti-yeast program before I start back to work and life gets crazy again (it's still crazy in the summer, but I have a little more flexibility, and ability to take control of my health). So I just want to do a really basic cleanse at this point. Then sometime in the future, I can look into the Arise & Shine products. Any suggestions on a brand name of a basic cleanse (especially if I can buy it locally today and not have to wait for shipping) would be sooo much appreciated!!!
Thanks for taking time and doing research on this subject i've been reading a lot about colon cleansing and using ColonOX
Hi Mushroom,
You might try Vitamin World or Vitamin Shoppe if you have one of those stores near you. They will have a variety of reasonably priced colon cleansers (In the $20 range.) Don't buy something that costs much less than that or you'll end up getting a glorified laxative.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Mushroom, I think that the Nature's Tea you bought might be part of a colon cleanse put out by Unicity. It is very good...I did it about 12 years ago and actually passed parasites. The products that are included in the program are Nature's Tea, LiFiber and Paraway. A word of caution on the Nature's Tea...only let it steep for two minutes the first night that you take it and don't squeeze the bag. I squeezed the bag the first time I took it and woke up in the middle of the night with cramps that I would compare to labor pains. It really does clean you out though. You only drink the tea at night after your last meal of the day. Good luck with that!
As for the candida cleanse, I did a month of the products that Kelley recommends and can definitely see a difference in my cravings and the way that I feel. I shared some of the product with my daughter towards the end and so didn't do the full month at the full strength that I wanted to so I'm going to order two months worth from iherb.com and do the whole program at full strength for two months. I, too, am a teacher so I didn't want to start anything new with school going on. Now that I know that it isn't harsh to my system I won't be afraid to do it during school. I used to itch around my waistline and I read that it is the yeast making me do that. My skin has cleared up a lot too. The products that I am taking are:
Candida Clear by Now Foods (was the only thing at the health store that had caprylic acid in it)
Olive Leaf extract
glutamine caps
Digest Gold enzymes (these are very expensive, but I've been taking them for a while and they have really helped some other issues that I'm dealing with...worth it for me)
Dr. Udo probiotic
I can order the caprylic acid by itself from iherb.com so that is what I'm going to do instead of taking it as a combination with something else.
Kelley, just this week I've started taking Green Vibrance again after being off of it for a month or so. It has probiotics in it. Do you think that it would be too much to take it and the Dr. Udo's probiotic? I don't want to overdo it. Thanks for posting this great recipe for success!
Hi Hillbillyheart,
Thank you for your great feedback! I'm so glad to hear that it's working for you.
I'm sorry, I'm just not familiar with Green Vibrance.
The best to you,
Kelley
Hello,you had asked for follow up so here it is. I took all the products as directed and I have gained weight!!! And it's all from sugar cravings. I eat and like healthy foods but I am finding it so hard to kick the sweet habit(better known as addiction). Today I finished my second box of the candistroy. Do you think I should keep at it? Thank you, Terry
HEY, DATS A NICE HUB U'VE CREATED! HOPE ITS GONNA HELP ME FLATTEN MA TUMMY.
Hi Terry,
Let's see if we can't help you. it appears that the Cndistory isn't doing the job for you. If it were me, I would buy olive leaf extract and caprylic acid (separately) and try that.
I'd also continue with the glutamine and the PB-8.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi There,
Well, my tummy is flattening. Sometimes it bloats a little when i have sugar, but when i stay off all the yeast loving foods, it goes down. Overall, i see a difference.
I think for best results the diet needs to be really strict for a few months. I haven't done that yet, so i am doing other supportive things.
I am taking the 4 main products, but also found i needed to add the drink from the Master Cleanser. It's lemon juice, cayenne pepper and Grade B maple syrup. I also added a gentle colon cleanser for the elimination of those little buggers. When i added the drink and the colon cleanser i felt my tummy flatten.
I am also using a Ion Cleanser Foot Spa now because it makes such a difference in improving my energy and craving for sweets. I wholeheartedly believe in ionic foot spas.
So i have had to add other supportive modalities.
Jen
Thank you, Jenjenn, for providing more great support. I'd like to get my own Ion foot cleanser...they're great!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
OK I have just printed all of this info...wish me luck! I appreciate the links that other people have provided, on where to buy etc. and this is all so interesting. I was tempted once to buy a colon cleansing product...I have noticed when I eat the right foods, everthing just works better....and my face breaks out, I feel bloated, sleepy etc when I am off the band wagon. OK I just discovered hubpages today and this is GREAT stuff!
Kelley,
I used to take glutamine for leaky gut and it always made me feel a little light-headed or headachy. One doc explained that my body is somehow converting glutamine to glutamate and that this is similar to MSG (which I react to in a similar way). Wouldn't slippery elm be a better alternative? Probiotics are supposed to thrive on it. Thanks in advance
What are thos hub pages that keep getting mentioned?
Hi Kimoura,
For you slippery elm might be a better alternative. For others, I would stick with the glutamine since it works so well for so many.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hello There,
The program is working for me but it has been modified. When the yeast dies off, it lets go of the heavy metal it had sequestered to protect from the rest of the body. If the heavy metal is not eliminated,then it recirculates and the yeast will again grow to protect the body, or worse go to more sensitive organs, such as the brain.
Cilantro will remove the mercury from the body.
Not the store bought kind you use for salsa, that will only assist in removal from the intestines. Cilantro i use is from Marco Pharma Intl (MPI) located in Oregon. It is expressly made to eliminate mercury from the entire body so it does not have the opportunity to travel around the body and cause damage before it has a chance to be eliminated.
Magnesium aspartate helps keep the stools moving along for best elimination.
I am satisfied very much so far and a 'happy camper.'
Excellent input, Jenjenn!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Just an update...I'm about 6 weeks in and this is working for me. I haven't had the side effects with the exception of a rash under my breast and in my panty area, under my pubic hair. Can't seem to get rif of it. I have lost about 5 lbs despite not changing my diet. Still crave sweets, especially chocolate and I'm still eating it. But, I'm NOT putting on weight and feeling more energetic. Any suggestions on the rash? I've used fresh Aloe from my plant....anti-itch cream...tea tree oil. I would appreciate any other ideas! I would recommend this for anyone!
Hi Laurain,
I'm glad to hear you're getting good results.
If it were me, I'd slowly increase my dosage of caprylic acid and the olive leaf extract to see if the rashes were the result of my body trying to eliminate the yeast. The fact that you still have cravings indicates some of the yeast is still hanging out.
Tea tree oil sounds good because it's anti-microbial. Lavender oil is another solution for itches.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
Hi Kelley, thanks for the feedback. I'm not taking the capryllic acid & olive leaf extract...I'm taking the Candidaclear instead. Should I up to dose of that? I'm taking 2 a day. Should I do another month? I'm about 6 weeks in and taking the same dosage of everything....pb8 & intestinew (2 a day each). Look forward to your suggestions!
Laura
Lorraine,
I would.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Super Info - thanks to all for input. OK, here's a tough one: I had gastroplasty performed back in 1986 - worked well, so still have "revision" of stomach to deal with when considering "absorption" issues. Any problem with any of the great products contained in protocol sitting at top entrance of stomach pouch until "disentegrate" enough to filter thru fine retention screen into small stomach pouch before entering intestine? Anyone have any idea if would affect protocol outcome? Looking forward to starting regiment. Many, many thanks for any input.
DeeDee
Great hub, I'm going to put it on my favorites.
Thanks so much :)
Oregano essential oil has strong anti-fungal properties. If a rash is a surface appearance of fungus, maybe it would help?
I found your site, Kelley, from the Mercola site. Thank you so much! I have tried taking just probiotics of various brands and sorts, and although they helped some (I quit biting my fingernails, and I had been biting them since I was 11--and that was a long time ago), I felt that something was missing. After checking the prices on the Internet of the products you list, I went to VitaCost.com, which seems to have incredibly low prices and a lot of choices, enzyme- and pro-biotic-wise.
I will follow the program and update you in six months.
Thank you for this information.
1) T-Tapp is a very gentle rehabilitative program (I'd start with MORE) if you have issues. I would buy or get her book from the library (Author Teresa Tapp) as you will want a "why" of how things work. In addition, one of her main focuses is on flushing the lymph system.
2)Sagging skin can be reduced by dry skin brushing. She recommends some other products as well, but not everyone needs those for results. This happens to a lot of women because they lose baby weight quickly, and of course, to those that lose weight quickly at other times.
I am having success with a similar protocol. Please note that if you have ANY neurological issues, l-glutamine can make them worse. Google and research this. I do, so I have found a product that works amazingly. It is called:
Intestive by the makers of Seacure. I am using it to repair my intestinal walls.
Enzymedica Candidase is what I used to kill Candida. I worked great!! I used it for about 2 weeks at full dose and now take a small maintenance dose.
My probiotic of choice is by Pure Encapsulation. They do not add ANY toxic fillers like magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. I take the multi-strain and the L. Sporogenes. The one Dr. Mercola recommends.
As for diet. I am Celiac, so I cut out all gltuen grains first. Then I went grain free after doing A LOT of research. And currently loosely follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.
The results of this protocol are nothing short of miraculus for me!
Would you please comment on drinking kombucha in regards to the yeast/fungus fungus connection? Thanks so much!
Hi,I would love to do this but need to know if it's okay to do while breastfeeding. My child probably only gets 2 oz max a day...she's been nursing for quite some time and I'm pretty much dried up, but she does get some...Thanks,Michelle
Also, I drink lots of fermented beverages...kombucha, rejuvalac, beet kvass, gingerale. Eat homemade yogurt. I wouldn't need to take the pill form probiotics, would I?Thanks again,Michelle
I also drink Kombucha regularly. I have noticed lots of bloating since I used Opticleanse, a detox which I got from my natural dr in June. It is amaxing that every morning it has gone down but when I eat it bloats back up.
I do not crave sweets since I have been glutten free and dairy free. I do drink keifer and eat yogurt, however,
I am curious about Kombucha. I know it is made from sugar and the yeast called Kombucha. My natural dr says it is ok.
I wake every morning with a bad tasting mouth and I also have the white fuzz on my tongue that had dissapeared. Looks like the yeast is reoccuring.
Hi All!,
For those whose cravings have not stopped over a period of 2-3 months, I would definitely recommend Garden of Life antifungals by the name of Fungal Defense. When I took that with caprylic acid, the cravings went away. Jordan Rubin, the creator of Garden of Life has written an excellent article on the Weston Price Organization website titled "How to Restore Digestive Health" which tackles Candida as well:
Also important anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial are oil of oregano and garlic extract to kill Candida and other versions of fungi and rashes. I suffered for years with a rash in my groin area using inefficient creams; the combination of the above plus Olive Leaf Extract, Garlic Extract and Oil of Oregano completely cured me of that rash, improved my eyesight and relieved back and neck pain too. It is amazing how far reaching the symptoms of Candida can go into your system.
A word of caution here. JennJenn has wisely been mentioning mercury poisoning as a problem and how killing yeast may release mercury into your system. This is extremely important in this toxic-laden world, rife with, mercury dental amalgam fillings (any silver filling is mostly mercury and yes, it vaporizes into your brain & digestive system - the ADA doesn't want you to know because they own the patent) in addition to the pesticides, fungicides, chlorine and fluoride in your food and water etc. etc. which all combine to lower your immune system.
Once you have systemic yeast, it can be very difficult to rid if you have underlying heavy metal toxicity. I had brain fog, bloating and lack of ability to memorize and the sugar cravings and attributed it to yeast, which indeed it was true. I went on my above mentioned plan for a year with intense exercise to aerate my body, and stimulate the lymph to clean out the yeast. Although the cravings went away, and the stomach flattened, due to less yeast and major exercise. .... after a year, I still had the brain fog and memory issues and still could not combat all the yeast.
After seeing a specialist, he informed me that if you cannot rid your body of yeast over a lengthy period of time of NO sugar (no fruits, no breads or cakes, pasta, etc.), it is a time to get heavy metal testing. The best way is to go to a nutritional/environmental doctor in your area. Drive 30 miles if you have to to get the appropriate 6 hour urine-testing provoked by a chemical that attracts mercury/lead/cadmium/nickel, etc. (such as calcium-edta, dmsa or dmps). You collect the urine for 6 hours and send a sample in. Hair tests and standard urine or blood tests are supplemental, but cannot show you appropriate level of poisoning.
Heavy metals change your pH so that the yeast and other parasites can proliferate. And no amount of antifungals will rid you of the real problems, if you don't rid your body of the metals. These metals need to be removed from your body, because they cause brain damage, liver and kidney damage.
Good Luck to everyone in your quest for health! This is an exciting website and a great start toward removing Candida problems!

Thank you so much for this wonderful service! Thanks, too, to all the posters who have contributed their suggestions. I have had a persistent fungus on my two big toes for many years and recently the Naturopath I've been seeing suggested that i might have a fungus infection, systemically. She gave me a homeopathic remedy called Fungi-Fuge. Do you, or any of your readers know anything about this?
Many years ago, right after the book The Yeast Connection came out, it seemed that everyone was talking about candida. An intuitive nutritionist diagnosed me with this and referred me to an MD/allergist, who perscribed the drug nystatin. I took it and followed a very restrictive diet. Several months afterward, someone I met at a health fair said that nystatin was very dangerous so I stopped taking it.
I found the diet too hard to follow and just gave it up. However, looking at photos from that time, I noticed that before and after I took the nystatin my jeans fit really well and I had slim legs and thighs. In the before and after that period, my jeans were tight and I looked puffy "down there."
In recent years I've been diagnosed with everything from chronic fatigue to adrenal collapse to Wilson's syndrome and hypothyroidism. No treament has really worked. i've gained about twenty pounds, mostly "down there" again and have all the symptoms of candida, cravings for sweets, carbs, etc. Duh. I guess I'm back to square one--treatment for candida. This time no nystatin. My brain is so foggy that I cannot figure out exactly what products to take at this time but I plan to figure it out and do it. I am rather appalled, frankly, that my naturopath took so long to come up with this diagnosis. She did give me a probiotic and a digestive enzyme.
I recently had a series of three colonic irrigations and several ionic footbath treatments. i feel like having more footbaths but I do have to travel quite a distance to get one. Does anyone here have any experience with the detox footpads? I have considered buying my own ionic footbath machine but there are quite a few available with a great variation of options and prices. Does anyone have experience with them?
Thank you, all for your information! I wish good health and flat tummies to all.
Clover
Hi,
I have psoriasis farily bad. Would the above things (probiotics, PB8.. etc) help with this, do you think?
thanks
Clover,
You sound like an excellent candidate for heavy metal poisoning. Your symptoms are very similar to mine. Find an environmental doctor of integrative medicine, look on the web, to begin testing you as I mentioned. You could have a very high level of metals that will need a program to remove.
Years ago, I was on nystatin too. Yuk! It helped but not enough. Garden of Life Fungal Defense and caprylic acid rid me of my rashes, but you're going to need a lot more than this site can offer to remove the heavy metals AND kill the yeast.
Mercury damages the adrenal glands and the thyroid glands. Treating the symptoms won't help. You'll need to be tested to find out if this is the cause.
Amazon
Dear Kelley,
Dr Tullio Simoncini suggested the following as a way to get rid of fungal infections, such as candida:
TS: To uproot persistent gynaecological fungal infections one should do a douche every day with two litres of pure water (that has been boiled and left to cool) containing two dissolved tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda. This should be kept up for two months, stopping only during one’s period. Candida is very persistent and it takes a long time to kill an infection. http://www.laleva.org/eng/2007/03/is_cancer_caused
however, I read your post on Dr Mercola's site (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive
with the following information:
PS. One caveat to the baking soda approach to treating cancer. If the person's tumor's metabolism is catabolic (alkaline) the baking soda could result in...no, let me rephrase that...it WILL result in...rapid tumor growth and a marked INCREASE in pain in the patient!
So I was wondering if it is okay if I do the douche as prescribed by Dr Simoncini or will that result in rapid growth of the yeast and maybe even a tumor?
Please help me as I am so confused as to what is the best thing to do.
Thank you,
AM

I'm going to get the products today and give it a try. I broke my back last summer in a boating accident and since then have gained 15 lbs. all around my belly area. I had always had a flat belly, even at age 54 looked good and was still in a bikini. Now, the next summer I wouldn't dream of bareing my 15 lb. tummy in a bikini. Besides the enlarged tummy and excess bloating, I feel fine. I can't wait to try this regimen to see if I can get the results of so many others. I never considered yeast. I crave sweets, and chips like nobody's business even though I know they wreak havoc on our health. So far I've been very lucky with my health. I should also consider parasites as I have traveled to several destinations in Mexico and have had parasites before. Re: Kambucha, the sugar is only there to be metabolized by the fungus and shouldn't be real sweet once it's "ready". I'm not making kambucha anymore as I couldn't seem to get past the taste and the slimey thing floating in the glass container. 8-) Best of luck to eveyone trying this. I'll post back when I've been using it for a while. Thanks Kelley et.al for keeping this going.
Hi Clover, I bouught an Ion Foot bath from Ebay...It was way cheaper than going to a salon and having it done and I can use it when I get home from work at night if I feel a headache coming on.
Hi Kelly,
I've been dealing with a wicked case of Leaky Gut Syndrome the last couple of years. I've improved immensely, but it's obvious the Candida still rears its ugly head even after ingesting a small amount of cooked carrots. I've practically been a vegetarian because of the LGS reactions to most things. For the longest time my gut couldn't even tolerate veggies high in minerals, and forget anything raw or grainy - that's been tantamount to whisking my digestive tract with a wire brush. I'm able to eat roasted nuts and seeds now. But salads and anything acid are a big no-no. Still have much healing in the gut to do.
I'm wondering if you have any feedback on how your recommendations to treat the yeast might actually affect someone like me with LGS.
Thanks.
Wow, what an avalanche of great information and questions! I love all the info on heavy metals...great stuff!
I like kombucha and it can be a great way to help get rid of yeast overgrowth.
For leaky gut, I would use Intestinew for a month or two.
Baking soda can kill yeast since it's alkaline and yeast needs an acidic invironment. So, no it won't cause cancer if your using it merely to eliminate the yeast.
Baking soda will promote tumor growth if the patient's metabolic imbalance is too catabolic. I discuss this a lot more in my book "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer."
While Simoncini's two month protocol surely works, it seems like a lot of work when there are systemic ways to wipe out the yeast in the entire body rather than just treating it locally.
The best to everyone!
Kelley Eidem
Dear Kelley, thank you so much for the quick reply! Three additional follow up questions:
1) You mention that the baking soda will promote tumor growth if the patient's metabolic imbalance is too catabolic, What exactly does that mean, and how do I know if my metabolic imbalance is too catabolic.
2)You mentioned systemic ways to wipe out the yeast from the entire body rather then just treating it locally. What would you recommend? Are you referring to your 4 part program (in the article at the top) to be the most natural way to eradicate the yeast almost completely/completely? Are there any side effects to the program or is there any additional information I should know (for example if there are any medications that do not mix, or if the program might interact negatively if a person has certain other conditions...).
3) Are there any doctors who you might recommend who also prescribe to this form of treatment whom I seek for treatment?
Thank you again!

Thanks to all who have contributed info. I did have my mercury fillings replaced quite a few years ago, with very careful supervision by a health practioner who gave me lots of stuff to expell the mercury. It all went very well, so I don't think mercury is the major problem for me. I do have few old fillings, though, under gold crowns so maybe they leak? Who knows?
Again, does anyone know anything about the homeopathic remedy called fungi-fuge?
Thanks,
Clover
Kelley: Please share more on the systemic way to wipe out yeast that you just mentioned in your last comment. I thought it was Candistroy, 2 boxes; probiotics, IntestiNew and Multienzyme formula... let me know if that is it>
Hi Stacy,
My recent answer was in response to a particular query.
Here's my method that has worked time and again.
"First, kill the yeast. All this stuff is available at any health food store. To do that, get yourself a combination of olive leaf extract and caprylic acid and take it for about two months. Or you can get a product called Candistroy that works very well. It'll probably take two boxes to do the job thoroughly.
Second, you need to restore the friendly bacteria. For this, I like a product called "PB-8." Don't skimp on this part. Be sure you get a really excellent multi-strain probiotic. Primal Defense is another good one. So is Dr. Ohiras probiotic.
You'll want to keep taking a good probiotic, ideally for the rest of your life. That's because unlike 150 years ago, we rarely eat fermented foods any more.
As I mentioned above, yeast and friendly bacteria compete for space. If you run low on your bacteria, the yeast can move back in.
The PB-8 might result in a quick loss of 5 pounds in the first week.
The third thing is to patch the holes left by the yeast. If you don't patch them, you'll end up with allergies, parasites running amok, and a whole lot more, all of it bad.
To do this, get yourself some glutamine powder, take a teaspoon in water twice a day. Another excellent alternative, even better than glutamine by itself is a product called IntestiNew.
Either one will work. the IntestiNew works a little faster.
The fourth thing you'll probably want is a good multi-enzyme. When yeast is overrunning us, our digestion often gets stressed, and it needs some help.
You take those when you eat. They help to prevent bloating and discomfort."
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelly, what a wonderful discussion, full of terrific and accurate details about this complex problem. you constantly surprize me with your unusual take on things, and the detail descriptive advice you give. Wow!
Hi Kelley!I think you may have missed my posts:
Hi,I would love to do this but need to know if it's okay to do while breastfeeding. My child probably only gets 2 oz max a day...she's been nursing for quite some time and I'm pretty much dried up, but she does get some...
Also, I drink lots of fermented beverages...kombucha, rejuvalac, beet kvass, gingerale. Eat homemade yogurt. I wouldn't need to take the pill form probiotics, would I?
Thanks,Michelle
Hi Kelley, I found your site thru mercola.com and am sooo interested in this topic. I've been trying to follow Body Ecology diet which says a lot of the same things. But it was so limited that I gave up. I starting seeing a very gifted nutritional counsellor three years ago who also recommended enzymes and every time I tried to take the dosage, I would get severe cramps and run to the bathroom w/in 30 mins w/ severe diarrhea. No matter how low the dosage was, it would happen so I always gave up and would try it again in a few months, but the same thing would happen. I've been a sugar and pastry addict for 40 yrs now, even while I was macrobiotic vegetarian and eating very very well, I still craved sugar soooooo much, and still do, which is why this topic makes so much sense to me. So I bought the products yesterday that you mentioned, and lo and behold, from the digestive enzyme I had diarrhea and pain again. Do you know why that continues to happen? How can I ever take the enzymes if I keep getting this side effect? I've been trying for 3 years now. Thank you so much, Kelley, for being so caring about all of us out here w/ these symptoms and conditions. MIa
Hi Kelley--I just looked up Twinlabs emulsified cod liver oil, and there are so many flavors. Can you please tell me which flavor you recommend as better tasting?
-Thanks, from Jen
Hi Everyone!
Level1 - Thank you so much for your kind word! Your comments have been quite impressive, so getting a compliment from you makes me feel great.
Michelle - it sounds like you're already doing a lot to rid yourself of excess yeast. I'd wait until you were done breastfeeding, otherwise your baby might get cranky. Maybe it would be okay, I don't know...it's a decision you'd need to make.
Mia - definitely skip the enzymes. Maybe after you get better, you won't have the same type of reaction, but for right now they aren't helping you.
Kelley's friend - I've tried both the mint and the orange. I really like them both a lot. So whichever flavor you prefer is the one I'd get.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi Kelley - I used to use Olive Leaf Extract and found that it helped some... I would now like to try it in conjunction w/your other recommendations. What form do you suggest? I used to use the liquid drops but they were hard to come by...
Also - I'm already using the probiotic Jarro-Dophilus EPS. I haven't been using it that long so I don't have much to say about it. What do you think? Should I switch to a different one for this regime?
Hi Valerino.
I used olive leaf capsules and caprylic acid tablets. Liquid extracts are often even better. you decide. You could use up the Jarro first and then get the PB-8. Then decide which one works better for you.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hello Kelley,
Reading your article and all the comments, questions, statements, and, your responses have been very interesting.
If you would allow me, I would like to ask a question concerning taking the items.
The items:
1) olive leaf extract/caprylic acid
2) PB-8 Pro-Biotic Acidophilus
3) glutamine powder or Intestinew
4) A multi-enzyme
Are all the items to be taken together, at the same time?
If not, then when: before a meal; during a meal; after a meal; or in-between meals?
Thanks,
Ray
Hello, thank you for all the fascinating information this discussion is providing! I am particularly interested in what "AmazonBlondeum" posted re: the combination of intense yeast growth w/mercury poisoning. I gave birth to my 3rd baby 5 months ago--a month after his birth, I started experiencing muscle spasms, dizziness, headaches, brain fog, numbness in my arms, hands, legs & feet, major fatigue; among other symptoms. I have seen medical dr's for diagnostic reasons--had an MRI completed as well as multiple blood tests. Heavy metal poisoning was one of the blood tests ran. Out of all these tests, nothing has shown up "out of the ordinary", yet I am still experiencing most of these symptoms. I currently started on Dr. Mercola's Probiotics & have been seeing a sacro-ocital (sp?) chiropractor for 3 months now, who has provided homeopathic meds. I also eat Juice Plus+, a fruit/vegetable supplement, & Chinese herbs from Sunrider International. My symptoms come & go, severity lessens then increases. I am stumped.
Do you think my symptoms could be from yeast overgrowth as well as heavy lead poisoning, even though the blood tests came back negative? Thank you for your help!
Kelly- What kind of digestive enzyme do you recommend? I currently take Wobenzym for inflamation.
I'm excited to try this. I've had intense sugar and carb cravings for most of my life. I've tried to stop so many times with little success. Candida issues run in my family along with cancer. I've also always had a stomach bloat, even when I was 5'3 and weighed 92 lbs (not by choice). I plan to send this link to some friends and family who also stuggle with candida and sugar cravings.
I have no affiliation with vitaglo.com, but use them to purchase all my supplements. They offer great prices and free shipping for orders over $50 (only $5 for orders under $50).
This is what I'm planning to buy. Let me know if it is the wrong stuff. Thanks!
Now Vitamins - Caprylic Acid 600 mg 100 Softgels 6.89NOW VITAMINS - OLIVE LEAF EXT 18% 500mg 100 VCAPS 15.94NOW VITAMINS - SUPER ENZYME CAPS 90/CAPS 5.44 I already have L-glutamine powder and primal defense.
In the past I cured a yeast infection with Capryl and quality probiotics in less than 2 weeks. It did not come back either.
I was looking at my old vitimins and found a candida defense called Threelac and I went to the site and it is like a yeast cleanse, here is the url to it!
http://www.newlifevitamins.com/faq.shtml
I am thinking of giving these a try the exp. date says 06/2008 so I'm sure it would be okay, what do you think? Please advise thankyou for being so helpful
this was an inspiration to redo a yeast cleanse. thank you, Kelley.
for more info that you might find helpful, another website which sells products but has a lot of cutting-edge health info that you can use without buying a thing, but has truly great products available (on which I will make no money if you buy them) is:
www.sb3.com
Hi, my name is Kelly Sanders. I wanted to leave this message for Blessed. I tried Threelac two years ago and became violently ill after taking it for one day. I should have done my research more thoroughly before trying it. Turns out, upon reading more about it after I got sick, found many negative reviews on the product and I even read that it contains a fecal ingredient in it. I'd read enough after that. Just threw the whole thing out. Then threw up again...and again.
Anyway, I know you weren't asking me about Threelac, but I wanted to let you know about my experience.
Blessings,
Kelly
I did not see the amount of olive leaf extract that one should take before a meal or should it be taken at a different time?
kelly, wow thanks for that bit of information, now I won't have a problem throwing it away!
I am wanting to get started on this program also. My question is: is it okay to take the above items and a heavy metal cleanse (for the mercury) simultaneously? Should I also take my other supplements and vitamins? (daily vitamin and krill oil)
Thank you for your time and for this wonderful information.
I think it would be most helpful if the directions for what to take when and how much would be most helpful. I have read everything here, and it's just not so clear. If we could have the direction clearly in the article, then everyone could just print it off,place it on their fridge, order the products, and get started. So far I've gathered, get 2 boxes of Candistroy, 1 of PB-8, 1 of Intestinew, 1 of multi-enzyme. Candistrory - take 1 daily for two weeks, increasing to 2 daily for the rest of the two months. Take everything else according to the labels for two month. After the two month mark, only take PB-8 for the rest of your life. Is that correct?
Also, you listed approximate amounts of how much it costs and say that it gets cheaper, but I don't see how. Especially, since you say to increase the dose on the Candistroy after two weeks. That is another reason the directions need to be a lot clearer. Please clarify! Thank you!
Hi Alisha,
No problem. Here are the instructions again:
"Your effortless cure...
But don't worry, there is an answer that puts you back in charge. It comes in three parts, and there is often a fourth part.
First, kill the yeast. All this stuff is available at any health food store. To do that, get yourself a combination of olive leaf extract and caprylic acid and take it for about two months. Or you can get a product called Candistroy that works very well. It'll probably take two boxes to do the job thoroughly.

The fourth thing you'll probably want is a good multi-enzyme. When yeast is overrunning us, our digestion often gets stressed, and it needs some help.
You take those when you eat. They help to prevent bloating and discomfort.
People often ask me which ones they should start with first. I started with all the products at the same time. They work better when taken together."
Although you're increasing the dose, the total amount taken doesn't change. In other words, it still one or two bottles of each total taken. By increasing the daily dosage, you just finish them sooner.
The program is actually free for many people because they stop buying those $2.99 'must have' treats, those daily jumbo soft drinks, or those $5 Starbucks atrocities. :-)
Kelley - hi again. Is it okay to take prenatal vitamins (I use RainbowLight brand) while doing this plan? I am not pregnant yet, but take the vitamins in case I become pregnant. Also, is any of this safe to take if I were to get pregnant? I would think probiotics are, but not sure about the rest. Thank you.
valerino
What mg of the olive leaf extract do you use? I have found 150 to 700! Thanks!
One more question! The Candistroy doesn't have olive leaf extract or caprylic acid. So is it better to use them seperately or will candistroy work just as well? Thanks!
Hi Mamamiah,
I'm presently using 150 mg of standardized extract which is equivalent to 600 mgs.
I'd use either the Candistory or the olive leaf and caprylic acid.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Dear Kelley,
I have had a huge stomach all my life, even as a child, but lately it's been getting even bigger. I'm 62, live a healthy lifestyle, and recently overcame my yeast by taking a product from Thorne for several months. I had my metal fillings removed several years ago. I have been told that my huge stomach is caused by unresolved stress, adrenal fatigue, and low thyroid. Getting rid of the yeast certainly didn't do anything to reduce my stomach. Could it be an adrenal or thyroid issue instead? Also, will the yeast return if I drink a glass of wine a day? Thanks so much for answering. I'm so embarrassed looking like I'm 9 mo. pregnant.
Great article! Thank you for including the step by step program. I have a number of infertility patients that have Candida issues. I have a feeling that yeast is probably behind a number of "unexplained infertility" cases. I look forward to implementing your program in the clinic. I appreciate your dedicated work on this site.
Hi Sandra,
In a case like yours, I would do a thorough colon cleanse and a parasite cleanse after I was done with the colon cleanse.
A little known way to help the thyroid is to take chromium picolinate. It must be the picolinate form. I would take it with cinnamon at the same time with each meal.
I don't know whether a daily glass of wine would promote yeast growth. That's something you could look into with a google search.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Great post! Very informative. Only one problem is for me are getting some of the products. Like multi-enzyme and caprylic acid
Kelly if you don't mind can I just tell Garand that you can get all the products you need at Puritain pride or vitimin world they have all of them that kelly recommended. thanks
Hi Marina,
On behalf of everyone, thank you for that!
The glutamine or IntestiNew is taken twice a day. You might find that you only need to do the IntestiNew for one month because bloating and pain go away.
The olive leaf/caprylic acid are taen for one or two bottles, however long it takes to do that. I'd start with one a day of each one for a week or two, and then increase to two a day or more.
As for enzymes, that's somewhat optional. if the person has no digestive difficulties (rare for those with yeast problems) they don't have to take them. It needs to be a multi-enzyme. Each person will find the enzymes that works best for them. The $8.62 version from Vitacost sounds to low in price to be strong enough., so I'd suggest using a higher priced option, perhaps.
Oops, I've written another discussion-filled response. Sorry.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi Kelley!
No problem--I'm one of those in the 20% who like explanations. :-)
The formatting didn't come through as I wanted it to, so I've redone it with your additions.
FIRST, PURCHASE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
1. EITHER Candistroy OR both olive leaf extract and caprylic acid.
2. PB-8 or another good probiotic. (Other options include Primal Defense and Dr. Ohira's probiotic.)
3. EITHER glutamine powder OR IntestiNew.
4. A good multi-enzyme, your choice of brand. (If you don't have digestive problems, you can skip these.)
NEXT, TAKE THEM DAILY ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGES
1. First thing in the morning, take the glutamine powder or IntestiNew. You probably only need to do steps 1 and 4 for one month.
2. At breakfast and again at dinner,
A. Take the Candistroy or the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid. You will need to take the Candistroy for about two months, possibly longer. If you are taking the olive leaf/caprylic combination, use up one or two bottles, starting with one a day of each for a week or two, and increasing to two or more a day. B. Take the enzymes. It probably wouldn't hurt to keep taking these for the rest of your life. C. Take the probiotic. You will need to do this for the rest of your life. 3. At lunch or whenever you eat, take the enzymes.
4. In the evening, take the glutamine powder or IntestiNew again.
I purchased Candistroy, PB-8, IntestiNew, and Enzyme Blend OL-767, all from VitaCost.com. The prices were as follows:
1. Candistroy kit: 120 tablets for $14.06.
2. PB-8: $12.33 for 120 capsules.
3. IntestiNew powder: $23.51 for a 5.7 ounce container.
4. Enzyme Blend OL-767: $8.62 for 60 capsules. This blend is on page http://www.vitacost.com/Olympian-Labs-Enzyme-Blend if you want to take a look at its ingredients. Do you have another brand you recommend?
Thanks so much for all your hard work and for caring so much!

Marina
All right, that still didn't work. Third time's a charm. My apologies for clogging up your comments! If you want, go ahead and delete the previous two versions, if you can.

I don't know why the formatting isn't working. Just delete the latest post, if you can. I am sure people can figure it out.
Thanks, Marina!
When it comes to enzymes, different products work best for different people. In my experience, it's a matter of trial and error.
The key thing is that the product contains enzymes for fats, for carbs, and for protein. But which one of those will work best for any specific individual is hard to say.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
To answer an earlier question: The IntestiNew package says that it does not contain gluten.
My intuition said this was a good blend for me. It has a nice, clean energy feel to me. It has quite a lot of different enzymes in it. I don't seem to have digestive problems anyway, but again my intuition says to take the enzymes, so I'm going for it.
I know each of us has a different body chemistry, so yes, definitely, the same things will work differently for different people.
I have a strong, good feeling about this program you have described. I have looked all over the Internet and have read several books on candida. Maybe I have been looking in the wrong spots, but I hadn't found anything that actually gave me any useful information before I found your site.
Hi, Kelly, I'm a 28 y/o male from the NE USA and I just came across and hope that this stuff really works. I have had what I believe to be chronic Candida (though I haven't been officially diagnosed and refuse to go back to any allopathic MD for anything other than a physical or for any drugs) and bad dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp, ALONG with (I think) fungal nail infections in each of my index fingers (the right one I think has been hanging around for a few years but I first started noticing something was wrong underneath the nail a couple years ago) and nail infections/fungal infections on my toes (both feet; 3 toes on the left, 2 on the right) The nail problems are driving me fucking NUTS! PUH-LEEEEEZE HELP ME Kelly! I'm even giving you my e-mail address! Put me out of my misery - I can't even afford an ND or even a TCM practitioner!
HELPPPP!!!! jlew165 [at] yahoo [dot] com
I also welcome anyone else out there with verifiable ND credentials and have had a long history of success in treating and even curing people of this menace.
God, this is so frustrating. Even the foods I eat are so limited and I feel so helpless!
Hi Jason,
You're going to get well, Jason. Your days of misery are coming to an end.
If I had what you're describing, I'd also get some tea tree oil products, such as tea tree oil, tea tree shampoo, and tea tree lotion, and apply them to my nails, scalp, etc.
I'd use use those IN ADDITION to the rest of the program to help from the inside and the outside simultaneously.
Once the intestinal lining is healed, people are less limited in their food choices any more, especially if they continue taking enzymes.
While I'd love to email you, between working full time, handling the logistics of my book sales, and helping people like yourself full time makes it impossible for me to keep up with an onslaught of emails.
By answering your question here, it answers questions for many other readers at the same time. You see, there are many readers in the same boat as you. There are about 100 readers for every comment you see here. With your question, you've provided a service to those people and helped them immensely.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Thanks again to all who have contributed. Especially to Marina for organizing the info and making it nice and clear!! This is what I've been wanting. However, I do have a question about M's post, as she only mentions Candistroy, which, as I understand it, does not include capryllic acid, which seems to be one of the essential ingredients in this program. However, Candiclear does include capryllic acid. So, it seems to me that either one would take the capryllic acid and olive leaf extract separately or take Candiclear. Is this correct?
I know that you, Kelley, said that you have taken Candistroy with good results, but your initial post seemed to indicate the necessity for capryllic acid.....Could you please clarify this? Thanks!!
About toenail fungus, I understand that oregano oil is a good anti-fungal. It seems to me that I read somewhere that it is very strong and needs to be diluted. Does anyone know about this? I have some and want to start using it on my toenails at the same time that I am ordering my other supplements.
Good health to all!
Clover
Hi Clover,
Kill the yeast. All this stuff is available at any health food store. To do that, get yourself a combination of olive leaf extract and caprylic acid and take it for about two months.
Or you can get a product called Candistroy that works very well. It'll probably take two boxes to do the job thoroughly.
Candiclear might also work. I don't know though. I've used Candistroy, and it works.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Also Kelley you did mention you took all the products at the same time, this means you took all the pills and powder at one time , together correct?
thank you
Hi Blessed,
What I should have said to be more clear is that I would begin them all on the same day. You've got some flexibility...work it into your schedule so that it works for you.
If I were giving it to a child, I would start with the probiotic by itself for a few days, and introduce each of the others one at a time spaced out by a few days for each new item being introduced. I'd also cut the dosage taking their weight and dividing it by a 150 pound person being the full dose.
For example, a 75 pound child divided by 150 pounds = a half dose.
All adults would be considered to be 150 pounds even if they are 110 pounds, or 200 pounds or whatever.
It might be tempting to think a 300 pound person should take a larger dose. But more likely, the cleansing reaction might be more intense due to the possibility of more toxins, so size is not the determining factor.
Children also respond more quickly. Since I can't be there, it'll be up to the parent to make the call, not me. ;-) I want to thank everyone in advance for not asking me if I think it's all right for their child to take a quarter dose, a half, one, two or twenty.
I just can't answer that. I wish I could.
Wow! I got off onto a tangent that had nothing to do with your question, Blessed!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Wow, Kelley - Congratulations on a GREAT Hub!! I hadn't heard this information before - really interesting!! :)
This is a great hub but I just had to ask about your recomendation of 1/2 oz of water per pound for a person. For the 300 pound person that would be almost 19 glasses a day. That seem excessive to me. Wouldn't that put an awful lot of strain on the kidneys? I read somewhere of people dying from drinking too much water. Should there be a limit on consumption no matter what your size since our kidneys abilities don't increase with out size? I just wondered what you think as diabetics like me have an increased risk of kidney failure. Thanks again for all the info. Lynn
Hi Lynn,
I hear your concern. Here is what I said, "It is a real good idea to drink a half ounce of water for each pound of body weight while doing this."
I had drunk a 1/2 ounce of water for every pound of my weight daily for several years. If I didn't do it, a rib injury would kck up and I could sleep more than four hours.
I was suggesting drinking that amount of water for a month or two.
A friend of mine with OCD did drink too much water...2 gallons a day!...and she ended up in a coma for a while. She weighed about 125 pounds, so she was drinking about 2 ounces per pound.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Kelley, thank you for this information. Currently there is 3290mg/serving of glutamine in the GNC Whey protein powder I take every day. Would this suffice, or should I get glutamine powder on its own?
Hi Julian,
Ideally, I'd want to take about 9,000 to 10,000 mg of glutamine a day, split into two servings. But go ahead and finish the protein powder for now...it'll help.
The best to you.

Hi kelley
Oh boy if it isn't one thing or another! I have an ear infection that is causing me to be dizzy and the doc wants to give me an antibiotic, is there any other natural thing I can do but cause more problems with this yeast by feeding it another antibiotic? thankyou
Blessed,
So many natural things are anti-microbial.
I'd probably get a good colloidial silver, and take it orally and perhaps put some in my ear. I don't know if the ear thing is okay. You'd wanto to google that.
So many of the customers at my store who buy ear candles love them.
Personally, I'm sooooo opposed to FDA-approved antibiotics. Don't get me started! LOL!
The best to you.

Hi. Thanks alot for the info. I have started the program 3 days ago. Just wondering. Does taking the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid
Apologies. PC problem.
Ill start again :)
Hi. Thanks alot for the info. I have started the program 3 days ago. Just wondering. Does taking the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid at the same time as the probiotic (after meals in my case) mean less of the pro biotic is getting into my gut. I was wondering would the acid kill off the pro-biotic ?? Would I be better taking the pro-biotic a half hour before the other two.
Thanks alot for your help and this hub !!!
Take care.
Steve.
Hi Steve,
That's a great question. Don't worry about thenatural olvie leaf and natural caprylic acid killing the probiotic.
They work against yeast and fungus due to the fatty acids in them which has no effect on the bacteria. Also, the probiotics are aerobic bacteria.The bad bacteria is anaerobic. The olive leaf kills anaerobic bacteria.
The best to you.

Clover: Thanks for the thanks! Though I do mention both Candistroy and the olive leaf/caprylic acid choices in my post. I should probably format it differently so the ORs stand out better. :-)
The big thanks are owed to Kelley for this hub, and for so patiently answering everyone's questions.
I started the program Friday night. I've had a few headaches (which I almost never get) and a few other symptoms that I think are due to the program, but nothing too severe.
Already I feel indefinably better. I can't explain how, except to say that I feel somehow lighter in all my cells. And I'd swear my tummy is a bit flatter already too, though that could just be wishful thinking at this stage.
Hi Marina, I started the program two days ago and am also experiencing headaches. I'm thinking it's probably "die off"? I'm glad your tummy is flatter already. Mine not so much :-(
Man am I excited! I've always been into health, and stumbling accross this article I'm hoping is going to solidify my dream to get a career in alternative medicine/ herbs/ naturopathic medicines that I've always loved learning about.
I ordered everything at once off of ebay, from the same buyer, the total came to 52.76 AFTER shipping. Everything I ordered is of the brand "NOW". I ordered:
1x 90 VCAPS of Candida Clense (Has 500mg Caprylic Acid, 300mg Pau D'arco,300mg black walnut, 200mg orageno oil per pill)
2x 60 VCAPS of Olive Leaf Extract (has 500mg olive leaf extract, with 6% oleuropein per pill)
2x 60 Capsules of L-Glutamine (has 500mg free form L-glutamine)
1x 90 VCAPS Probiotic Defense=
Fermented Greens [Barley Grass (Hordeum vulgaris),Oat Grass (Avena sativa), Wheat Grass (Triticum aestivum),and Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)],Freeze-dried Probiotic Strains (1 Billion cfu/g)[Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillusbrevis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum,Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillusparacasei, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium bifidum,Bifidobacterium brevis, Bifidobacterium longum, andSaccharomyces boulardil],Super Green Foods [Alfalfa Juice Concentrate,Atlantic Kelp (Laminaria digitata), and Dulse (Palamariapalmata)All of this just arrived at my door today. I took one of each of the 4, and I will take one of each of the 4 with a meal an hour or two before I go to bed. I have psoriasis on my scalp, and a little on my back. I'm reading an excellent book about it called "healing psoriasis the natural alternative" by John O.A. Pagano. In his book he shows incredible before and after photos of people who he has cured himself. It's exciting to look at really. But in his book he believes that preservatives and bad food, antibiotics etc, wears down the lining of the large intestines, and allows poisons to seep through, and psoriasis is created when your skin trys to release these toxins, and buildups and other things occur. Well not word for word, and theres other small attributes, but that's the basic gist of it. Basically, I'm trying to kill two very large, extremely evasive birds with one stone; healing myself from the inside-out. I am very excited!
I will keep you all updated as to how it goes. Currently I weigh 225 but I don't believe my scale for some reason because when I weighed myself at the gym 2 months ago I weighed 238, I guess I could have lost muscle mass? But I'm not all muscles, I look overweight. I will keep you all up to date on how i feel/look/think by the week!

Hi Kelly,
Sometimes a headache does arise, because as you said, die off. The yeast has about 80 toxins they can release. That's a lot for those tiny buggers! LOL!
You might want to drink plenty of water to help flush out whatever needs to be flushed out.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
I have priced these products and found them cheapest at https://www.vitacost.com
and you can also use this source code to get an extra 8% discount
AETNA608if it does not work just do a search on source code for vitacost. As these source codes do expire.
Hi Kelley,
Thank you for explaining the reason for my headaches. It all makes sense. I've been drinking a lot more water like you suggested. I think it's helped because I'm feeling much better. I have to report that my energy level is through the roof! And the only thing I'm doing different is the program. God bless you for "turning on the light" for so many of us. This is very exciting!
Okay I ordered the pills on the L-Glutamine , but I'm thinking I need the powder, as your instructions say powder so I guess my question is the powder what we need instead of the capsules? Thank you
I ordered everything from Vitacost.com on Monday and today I got an email stating that they wouldn't be able to ship for a month so I called the health food store in town and they have everything so I will pick it up when I go to town on sat.
Hi Blessed,
Each scoop or teaspoon of powder is going to have 4 to 5 grams of glutamine in it. Tablets have probably 1/2 a gram to a gram. With tablets, it'll take a lot longer to patch up the holes, but it can be done, especially if you take several at a time.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
I have started the program. There is a lot of discussion on the supplements, etc.
But what about what we should eat? Anyone have any suggestions. I purchased the Candistroy. It does have a suggested diet. But I was just wondering on others thoughts.
Thanks
Patty
I recently read that olive leaf extract is very lethal for the liver. Has anyone heard anything about this??? Also, I was taking a product that contained olive leaf extract and other herbs for a liver and kidney cleanse. I got sick and had to have my blood drawn. Long story short my liver enzymes were very high. Common sense tells me that it was because of the liver and kidney cleanse. I quit taking the pills because I got scared about the enzymes. Any thoughts about this??????
Hi Patti,
Of course the liver enzymes were high. It's a blood test. The blood and the liver are different compartments and operate a little bit independently.
So when someone is cleansing the liver, the junk is going to get shipped off in the bloodstream, resulting in elevated readings. The doctor mistakes that for the liver being bad when in fact it's a good thing.
If a person's blood tests are always high, that is an indication that the 'church'is full and the overflow is being shunted to the blood. But when a person is cleansing, the stuff that's in the liver is getting kicked out.
When the blood gets overloaded due to rapid cleansing, it's not uncommon to feel lousy for a few hoiurs or even a few days. I'd drink extra water and cut back for a day or two if necessary.
Also remember that when the yeast/fungus dies, they release about 80 toxins. That can make a person feel bad until the toxins are cleared out.
So you get a simliar high reading, but the interpretations are opposites because in the first case, the full house is still full, while in the second case, the church is being emptied.
And no, olive leaf is NOT very lethal to the liver. No one is dying from taking olive leaf. Just the opposite is true. In fact, because the trash in the liver is getting removed, it's GOOD for the liver.
In contrast, thousands die from various drugs due to the damage they cause to the liver.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi Dr Kelley
Thanks for all the info. I have been following closely all the comments made and have been doing some research on the vitacost.com site to see what I need to order. I am in Australia and cannot get most of the things you mentioned here except for olive leaf extract which I do not know whether it is good enough. I cannot find the olive leaf extract on the vitacost site which is 150mg of standardised extract and equivalent to 600 mgs. Which brand are you on? Also where can I buy capryllic acid tables which I can't get on vitacost site? I prefer to take the olive leaf extract and capryllic acid as I feel strongly about them being effective for me. Moreover I would like to maintain myself on the olive leaf extract after the programme. What do you think? Thank you for all you have done for everyone on this hub.
Hi Linda,
I should probably clarify. One does not need to take the olive leaf and caprylic acid forever. I'd take them until the problem is solved. Then go back to them if the problem arises again.
As for where to get caprylic acid, PB-8 and glutamine if you life in Australia, perhaps fellow Australians could chime in with their sources.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
I have had such a bad taste in my mouth when waking up in the morning and while lying down at night. Any reason for this? I, too, am experiencing some ear pain for no apparent reason.
I have been doing the program for 2 weeks now - wow, die-off is a b@#%&!
I had brain fog, headaches, some trouble sleeping and now discharge (TMI, sorry!). Is that last one typical? I know that everything gets worse before it gets better, but I hadn't been warned about that one.
I'm also attempting to change my diet but it is hard to complete eliminate items that were previously staple foods (like bread, cheese etc). Will this still be very effective if I continue to eat some of these foods occasionally?
Thank you!!
Hi Valerino,
I feel your pain! I'd go ahead and drink extra water, and slow down or back off for a day if need be.
The body is pretty amazing. It'll use whatever way it can to discharge harmful junk in the body. It can come out through our sweat, our nose, etc.
Yes, you'll be able to eat staple foods. You'll probably find that they don't drive you to destraction. If you ever notice that the cravings have come back, you can catch it early!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Hi Stacy,
In answering your question, I'm going to assume you're on the program. It sounds like die off to me. Dying yeast releases 80 toxins. I might slow it down for a day or two and drink extra water.
The best to you.
Keley Eidem
Yes, I am on the program. About a week or so now. I also got pain in my ear...which I do not believe is swimmers ear. But could be With this humid weather. Before I started the program I had acne pop out and an ugly cold sore...I knew I needed to get with the program since I was feeling so bloated besides. Much better now, however I will increase the water for sure! If I weigh 150 pounds I should be drinking 8 cups a day right? Thanks!
Hi Stacy,
Yeah, eight or nine glasses sounds good!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Read your entry a while ago on Mercola. Was diagnosed with Candida prior to that. I am so, so grateful for your contribution. Following your plan as well... and as you said... No Cravings! I'm in my fifth week and feel phenomenal.. having difficulty with running .. seem to feel a heaviness...Hope this passes. Thank You Kelley!
Hi JenB,
Congratulations! Your contribution could inspire many others!
If the feeling of heaviness doesn't go away, you might look at doing a digestive cleanse when you get done wiping out the yeast.
The best to you.

Hi Patty, I also started on the Candistroy but mine didnt have a diet in it. What are the recommendations for the diet? I too would like to know what to eat. I have cut out bread, cheese and most fruit... Would some one please respond with a diet to follow. Thanks!!!
Hi Kelley,
I just finished killing my yeast overgrowth. I used threelac, Zymex II, got rid of all dairy, drank kombucha daily and I also have 1 clove of raw garlic in my salad every night, with fresh parsley. I probably had this infection since I was a teenager and now i'm in my early 40s. I've lost 20lbs, also from exercising and doing hot yoga. I'm about to do a metal cleanse and colon hydrotherapy.
By the way, fresh raw garlic helps kill a lot of other parasites. Those bugs don't like it at all. Got rid of all sugar, white flour and eat lots of fresh organic veggies and I limit the fruit to 1x per day. Hope this helps.
Keep up the great work!
Hi Kelley,
Thanks for emphasizing your protocol. I have a long standing candida problem and have taken a combination of things for years. I have been doing the protocol you mention for almost 2 weeks. I have noticed changes in the way my gut feels, since adding the Intestinew. I think the reason I would make temporary progress is because I had a leaky gut that was not being addressed. The Intestinew is addressing that and I can feel a difference. I still have major trouble with carbs, especially wheat, but if I stick to the diet Soozie mentioned, I feel much better.
The difference between die-off symptoms and candida symptoms are hard to pin point, however, the candida symptoms tend to show up the day after I have ingested carbs, i.e., bread, etc. Die-off sometimes occurs after I have ingested the olive leaf.
If someone has severe candida symptoms, they may want to check out Doug Kaufmann's book about fungus. He has a great diet that is doable and makes sense. There are a few things that a person may want to leave out of the diet if they have sensitivites or leaky gut. Those things are diary and carrot juice (too sugary).
After the gut heals, I suspect, I will be able to add those things back into my diet on a limited basis. Soozie's comment about the clove of garlic is good, as I have noticed that the parasitic activity I had has vanished and I believe it is from juicing a clove of garlic with my juice combo. It tastes best with carrot, but I have to minimize the carrot for now.
Thanks for starting this hub. It obviously has helped a lot of folks.
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your excellent contribution! Yes, patching up the holes is so critical to feeling better. Otherwise, goop gets through before being properly broken down. That means a continually polluted bloodstream.
The best to you.

To Liquidfire:
Regarding diet, this is the info my naturopath (who cured her own candida) gave me. Cut out all forms of sugar and all foods that contain sugar. Includes white and brown sugar, honey, syrups, liquors, lactose, fructoe, all cakes, chocolates, ice cream biscuits and fruit drinks.
Other foods to be strictly avoided (for at least three months) are Yeast, and all foods that contain yeast like bread, vinegar, ketchup, mustard and pickles.
Fresh and dried fruit should be eliminated for 6 weeks. This includes frest fruit juices.
Mushrooms--all types. Refined foods -- all white flours, white rice, white pasta products, corn flour, custard and cereal products unless they are whole meal and organic.
Fermented products--all alcoholic beverages, vinegar and vinegar products.
Nuts--all types of nuts that are cleaned and packaged without the shells. Pumpkin seeds and sunflowers seeds are ok.
Also helpful: chlorophyll, Pau D'Arco tea, grapefuit seed extract, greek oregano, olive leaf, gentian root, barberry, ginger, cinnamon, licorice root, ionized silver, stevia.
Good luck! I'm just starting the program and would be interested in hearing how folks are progressing.
To Clover, Thank you so much!!!! I have cut out breads and all sugars anything with flour, like breaded fish, but I never thought about catsup, pickles etc. Starting today I will eat only veggies, salads, and a little meat. I'm not sure how this is going to go, but I am going to give it a good try. I have started on the Candistroy, L-glutimine, PB 8 Probiotics. Is there anyting I am missing?
Thanks for all your help.
Liquidfire
Hi Liquidfire,
Good for you!
Yes, you did leave out the olive leaf extract and the caprylic acid. With the IntestiNew, you don't have to take the glutamine.
The best to you.

It took three weeks for the cravings to "switch off" for me. Now I'm hardly hungry at all--I don't even want to eat when my day was normally focused on what I'd be eating next. Some of you who are concerned with food choices might want to refocus on what Kelley told us:
"Effortless, effortless, effortless...
In my experience, what happens is that rather than seeing a gradual lessening of the cravings, you go along for a while, and you wonder is this program going to work? Then one day, it is like a light switch...your cravings completely vanish into thin air.
I still recall looking at lowly vegetables in the produce aisle, and thinking, "Wow, those look good!" Meanwhile, I literally would forget to go to the ice cream aisle.
It's your natural heritage to crave the foods that are good for you. But that can only happen if you get your yeast under control."
I agree w/Terri. I have made some dietary changes but cheating is inevitable. Most of the time, though, I do not crave the things I used to crave. More often, the cheating comes when I don't feel like explaining my dietary changes to yet another person (or people)! I've also been doing this for 3 weeks and have been waking up with a much flatter stomach lately. The die-off still occurs after I eat the wrong things, but not as bad as that first week. As a side note, I've noticed when I drink alcohol I can't handle it as well as before. Half the amount makes me feel lousy which is good because I don't feel like drinking much at all anymore, although I do enjoy a nice glass of wine sometimes...
Hi Terri,
It's great to hear that you're now having such great success. So you had the "light switch effect," too? That's too cool!
The best to you.

Hi Valerino,
I might have some great news for you. I buy a product called RU-21 that I take whenever I have a glass of wine with dinner. It blocks the bad chemicals in alcohol so there is no hangover. In doing that, it protects your brain, liver and skin from getting dried out and aging.
It's all natural. Although I won't tell the whole story here, the ingredients in the product came from the work of Dr. Emanuel Revici, who happens to be the subject of my book "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer."
The oil tycoon, Armand Hammer and his translator Simon Levi, introduced the original fomula to the Soviet Prime Minister Brezhnev. From there, the Soviet KGB used it in their spying efforts. The agents would take the formula so that they could drink their 'marks' under the table, or at least to loosen their lips.
With the dissolution of the Soviet Empire, a commercialized version is now sold in the US. It really works.
There are more fascinating stories in my book, by the way. :-)
Let me be clear, I'm not encouraging a lot of drinking, but if you're like me and a single glass of wine or a single beer can give you a headache, you'll absolutely love RU-21.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Wow, thanks for the info Kelley. Can the RU-21 be purchased in stores like GNC or Vitamin World that you know of?
Hi Valerino,
GNC and many other places.
The best to you.

Wow!! This had been quite an education. I have many of the symptoms that I have read about. I get a yeast infection the minute I take any antibiotics, I love bread and gain weight when I eat it, I have become quit large and bloated in my middle section and stress seems to make my midsection grow faster even without any weight gain. I also have the toenail fungus. I have no energy and if I take vitamin B complex I get really wigged out and I know I need more of it than my multiple vitamin because I have had an incredible amount of stress in my life. The first day I feel energy and after that I could scream and rip someones head off. Any thougts on this. I would appreciate any feedback
Kelly, Thanks so much for clearing it up for me what I need to get. I am so excited to get on this and finally feel good. I have a lot of weight to lose but right now thats not the important thing to me. Feeling good and being able to function to make it through the day is what I am looking forward to.
Hi Marsha,
When we have to o much yeast and yeast in the wrong places, it's likely that we'll have sensitivities to food and to supplements, too. B-vitamins are sometimes made from yeast.
Furthermore, the holes made by yeast through the digestive tract can produce all sorts of sensitivities.
So I'd take care of the yeast problem if it were me and then go from there.
The best to you.

To Kelly and Liquidfire:
Kelly, Liquidfire said that she was taking Candistroy and you told her to add caprylic acid and olive leaf extract to that. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you had written earlier that one should take EITHER Candistroy OR caprylic acid and olive leaf extract...not all three.
Hi Clover,
Of course you are right! Don't ask me how I read "Candistroy" as "IntestiNew," but that's what I did. Thanks for catching the error!

Kelley, I have been reading this site for several weeks now and since I've had yeast problems for years I thought I should try your protocol. I'm in my 6th week now taking Candistroy, PB-8 and Intestinew and enzymes (not with every meal though). I have not noticed any difference in my cravings or how I feel and my stomach has not flattened any. It still bloats, usually every afternoon after eating lunch (salad with very little flax oil/vinegar dressing).
What suggestions would you have for me? I don't want to give up but it's getting expensive having to buy Candistroy every 10 days (that's how long a bottle lasts taking 3 pills 2x/day).
Thanks
Hi Carol,
I'm sorry you're continuing to have the problems you describe.
There are any number of possibilities for the problems beyond a yeast overgrowth. First let me say, I can't diagnose you. So this will just be general information that could apply to anyone.
One simple possibility as for the bloating would be a sensitivity to vingar. Some people are sensitive to citric acid, vinegar and citrus. I am one of those people. The way to find out is to eliminate those foods, and additives, from your diet for a few days. BTW, citric acid is in bazillions of different foods.
If that is the case, I'd get some "Prelief" a natural product from the pharmacist and take 1, 2, or 3 prior to any meal that has an offending ingredient.
Another possibility is the presence of parasites. Most of us don't eat things like wormwood or cloves, so parasites are quite common. I'd probably consider doing a parasite cleanse.
Yet another is diabetes. Most diabetics have a some paralysis of their stomach from nerve damage. If I were diabetic, I'd want to slam high doses of proteolytic enzymes such as "Vitalzym" for a month or two. It might cost $500 to do so, but it can cure diabetes.
Also, a colon cleanse can also be a wonderful thing to do. I just started with "The Cleaner" 7 day cleanse last night as a matter of fact. It's gentle, and it seems to be working.
I might also switch to olive leaf extract and caprylic acid in place of the Candistroy. It's a lot cheaper and it works.
There could be other causes as well. For instance, mercury can play havoc on our tummies. For that, I'd take chlorella and apple pectin.
Anyway those are some possibilities.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Thank you Kelley. I'll try some of your suggestions and hopefully things will improve for me.
Just an update if anyone was wondering. It's been about two weeks. For the first week I had pretty bad headaches, and had trouble falling asleep. That is mostly gone now, I rarely have headaches. I have been to the gym 3 times, 30 minutes eliptical each time. One of the oddest things I noticed in the first week, was I sweated A LOT!!!!! no matter what I was doing, I was hot, and sweating! It was hot outside for a few days, but this was intense sweat! Just to give you an idea, I was working in my garage on my 1988 cabriolet, and had some plastic gloves on, and I reached up to grab the hood and I thought someone sprayed me with a spray bottle! I pulled the gloves off and it literally looked like I had my hands in a hot tub for 20 minutes! They were super soggy looking and dripped like I had just pulled them out of the water! It was pretty crazy, but I just kept drinking lots of water to try and counter the loss. I don't sweat nearly as much now, but when I go to the gym, my shirt is soaking by the time i'm done. I never used to sweat this much at the gym. At the end of the first week I had LOST 9 LBS. Since then (another week) I've gained about 5 of that back, so i'm pretty sure it was just water weight, fluxuating my total weight, but I'm gonna keep hitting the gym more, and taking all the vitamins, keep you updated.
-Travis
Ok, I have a question about taking the Candistroy. You've said start with one pill a day and then by the second week take two. But that is NOT following the product instructions!! Are you saying NOT to follow their instructions, because it's TOO much? They say start out with taking 2 pills a day (of each product), then the second week take 4 a day (of each product), then from week 3 up to 6 months take 6 a day (of each product). So which is it, follow your instructions or the bottle's???
A few more questions. You said to take 1 tsp. of the Intestinew morning and night. The package says to take one scoop a day. Does that mean the "scoop" is 2 tsp., and you're just having us break up the dose during the day so it assimilates better in our bodies? Or are you actually having us take less than what the package says?
About the multi-enzyme, are we supposed to take it anytime we eat (meals or snacks), or just at the three regular meal times (breakfast, lunch, dinner)??
Hi Alisha,
Actually, what I need to do is to give more specific instructions in my article.
I would take one a day of the olive leaf and the caprylic acid for the first week OR follow the instructions on the Candistroy.
I'd increase the dosage of the olive leaf and caprylic acid to two a day after the first week or two.
I'd also follow the instructions on the box for the IntestiNew OR take one teaspoon twice a day of the glutamine.
As for the enzymes, it's a matter of experimentation. I only take them with meals. Sometimes I don't need them at all. But you'll probably notice that you feel less bloated when you take them. How many? You decide.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Thank you for that clarification! It's most appreciated! I'm getting ready to place my order via Vitacost. They are my go-to store for all my suppliments. I have celiac disease, so I'm already on a wheat-free/gluten-free diet, and since being diagnosed as insulin resistant am now on a no-sugar diet/low carb/low glycemic (which includes almost no fruit, and no milk products what-so-ever). I am very against chemical sweeteners and only use stevia. I can't eat out at ALL or eat at friend's house's. But I'm hoping with my careful diet and taking vitamins and now knocking out the candida I'll start really losing the weight and obtain my life long desired shape. I'll keep everyone posted!
Thanks, Alisha.
For insulin resistance, I'd take a combination of cinnamon and chromium picolinate, 200 mcg of the chromium picolinate with each meal. The cinnamon is also anti fungal as well as helping with any sugar issues.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,

Hi Kelly, I can not find the website for the Chi Machine. Could you please tell me the benefits to using it. Thanks so much.
Hi Liquidfire,
Here's a link to a website with testimonials for various conditions. It's not my website (I don't have one for the chi machine.)
The rocking motion of the machine relaxes the nervous system which induces greater oxygen uptake. So wherever oxygen uptake is beneficial, it can help.

Hi Kelly! I'm wondering how long to take the Intestnew, and the multi enzyme. I see that the first two supplements should be taken for two months, and the pro-biotics are good to continue forever, but I was unsure about these two components. Also, my acupuncturist has me on Betain HCL with Pepsin to balance my stomache acid. Can I continue to take it, do you think? Or should I stop until I am through with the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid?
Thanks!
Hello Kelly, THanks so much for this information! I've had candida for over 15 years and started your program about a month ago. My tummy flattened over-night! However, my acne is persisting. Is there a way to speed up the process? Thanks again.
Hi Jennifer,
I'd take the IntestiNew for a month or two depending on how I responded to it. In my case it was just one month.
Betain and HCL are to help the digestion. I'd take them along with the olive leaf and capryolic acid.
The best to you.

Hi Brandi,
Thanks for sharing your success with us, Brandi. Most people don't get overnight success, but it can happen!
If I were dealing with acne, I'd try a couple of things. Externally I'd use some tea tree lotion, or even tea tree oil. Internally a good quality colon cleanse might be indicated.
I've been using "The Cleaner" for the last few days. It's been very good even though I've been using only a half dose.

Hi Liquidfire,
Let me try again. lets see if it goes through. If not you could try a google search on "Sun ancon chi machine" with quotes. Then go to the testimonials.

Nicely done.
Hi Kelley,
Firstly, what a great article and subsequent thread. I'm currently on a cleanse (forget how many I have done) using oxygen supplements and a restricted diet trying once again to get rid of the candida problems that have plagued me most of my adult life (I'm 35 now). As with others I was fortunate enough to stumble across this article via the post you made on mercola's website, and I'm going to give this a try once the cleanse is completed. I have a coupe of questions though:
1. Would it be acceptable to use home cultured Kefir in goats milk in place of the PB-8? The reason I ask is that Kefir is known to contain much more friendly bacteria that capsules (10-15 billion on most capsules, 15 trillion in a glass of Kefir). Michael Paul Paterson at timelesshealth.net may be worth checking out in relation to this.
2. I see many of the posters here suggesting various avoidance diets to make this system work, but no advice on that topic from your good self (I may have missed it though). Can you clarify what food types you suggest avoiding to maximise the effectiveness of this program?
Thanks in advance for your assistance, All The Best from Bonnie Scotland!!

Kelley, Thank you for posting the Chi machine website. It worked and I found the information very interesting. I will be investing in a Chi machine in the near future. Thank you for this wonderful site and all of the information!
Hi Bonnie,
The kefir sounds good to me. Let us know how it works for you.
It's best to avoid high fructose corn syrup HFCS because it increases a hormone that increases your appetite. But when a person is dealing with yeast, that can be hard to do at first.
The good news is that by sticking with my suggestions, cravings for HFCS laden food can go away. In other words, it works even if you don't deprive yourself if you feel a need for it. The desire will go away at some point.
That's why it's EFFORTLESS! :-)
The best to you.

Kelley, I would be happy to use your number! And thank you again for all this information. I have been on the Candistry, PB 8 and Glutimine for almost 2 weeks and have lost 2 pds and I don't have the cravings. In fact sometimes I forget to eat.
You forget to eat!...how great is that, Liquidfire!

Kelley,
In your response to Carol about the parasite cleanse and vinegar,
- I am starting the Dr Natura cleanse, which includes the wormwood and clover for parasites as well as their colon cleanser (psylum). I also wanted to begin taking a chelation supplement to remove heavy metals (probably chlorella).
Could I do all of these, including your yeast cleansing program simultaneously assuming my body could handle it? Is there a danger in doing all this at once if I follow the directions and drink a lot of water?
Also, should everyone be avoiding stuff with vinegar in it?
Thank You So much for you time.
Hi Jimm.
Apple cider vinegar can be a power healing food. Only those who are sensitive to it, including me, need to avoid it.
I wouldn't do all the cleansing programs you're talking about at the same time. I'd do the Dr. Natura cleanse first and do the yeast cleanse after I was done with the Natura cleanse.
Combining the chelation with it might be all right. If I did both, I'd start slowly with the chelation.
The best to you.

Hello there :)
I'm a college student who desperately wants to lose weight and become healthier, and i'm super excited about trying this out. I have added everything to a cart at Vitaminshoppe.com and I wanted to run everything by you Kelly, before finalizing the purchase. I hope it's not too much of a hassle!
#1. PB-8 (120 Capsules)
#2. 2 bottles of Vitamin Shoppe Olive Leaf Extract 500 Mg (100 Capsules each)
#3. 2 bottles of Vitamin Shoppe Caprylic Acid (100 Capsules each)
#4. 12 Ounces of Vitamin Shoppe L-Glutamine Powder 4500 Mg
#5. Vitamin Shoppe Multi-Enzyme (300 Tablets)
Does all of this sound right to you, or is there something I need to change? The Vitamin Shoppe is having a buy one get one 1/2 off sale, so that's why I was sticking with them :)
What amazing information. Thank you. I just wanted to share a story. I recently tried in vain to save my basset hound, Dharma from lymphoma and mast cell tumors. At one point I was doing the enzymes with her. She would get extreme spasms several hours after me giving them to her, I tried them as well, and it also happened to me. I also gave them to a healthy dog that I had and it happened as well. I will not mention the brands although two of them on mentioned on this thread. I talked to major sellers of these brands and most everyone thought I was nuts. I just could not understand, I knew what I said was true, it happened over and over. Finally I happened to see an article on a product called ("Neprinol *systemic enzymes blend) and (Syntol, Probiotic) from Arthur Andrew Medical. They mentioned it would not cause stomach problems, so I was immediately interested.I read extensively on it, it talked at length about yeast and how yeast develop rhizoids(roots). I bought them and Dharma never ever had a problem with them. They are a bit on the pricey side, but I didn't care, I just wanted to save her. I was concerned because the reason I was concentrated on the enzymes was because several alternative website stated that the enzymes could eat the protein cover on the cancer cells and make them visible to the immune system hence being easier to destroy. I wrote Arthur Andew Medical and had a thorough conversation with them. I was worried if there product had the specific enzyme(s) that was supposed to destroy this coating. I was surprised they even answered me. They explained for one thing that some of the enzymes I was using had ingredients from the pancreas (pancreatic enzymes) from animals and that it was possible her body would develope a dependance on them and then her own body would eventually quit making her own. They also stated it was possible that these ingredients were what was causing the high stomach stress on her. At any rate, it was all very confusing, and I may have mistated what was relayed to me. I just appreciated the time they took with me and I will always take these products myself. In addition to doing the program above. I am just putting this in there for the people who had problems with stomach pain regarding the enzymes. While taking these products she never had any stomach spasms again. No one believed me when I told them the enzymes were causing her stomach pains. Thank you very much for all the information posted. Looking forward to getting started on the protocol. Sincerely, Melissa /Kona

Hi Kona/Melissa,
I am curious to find out the enymes you were talking about that caused spasms. Also what enymes did you end up taking?
Thanks,
Cherie
Dear Kelly,
My husband and I are in the 3rd week of your program and we are having great results. The first week I had a very bad night with severe dizzyness and nausea but it was gone by the next afternoon.
I have a question, however. I am not supposed to eat shellfish and the Part Two of Candistroy contains them so I've only been taking Part One plus the PB8. My husband takes both. Am I getting a thorough treatment or do I need something else? We also do the Intestinew and the enzymes.
I finally had the time to read through all the comments and appreciate the amount of time you give!
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for the compliment. It makes me feel really good to be able to assist you and everyone else.
I don't have a box of the Candistroy in front of me. I'll try to take a look tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'd probably do the caprylic acid and the olive leaf extract instead if I had shellfish allergies.
But you say you're doing great, so who is to argue with success!
The best to you.

Hello
I started your program a few weeks ago, the Candistroy and PB8 and a glutamine in pill form. I was wondering if the pill form is ok? I wanted to comment that for about 2 weeks I have craved sugar more than I have ever in my life!!I have given in to those cravings also and wonder if that is underminding what I am trying to accomplish. I still feel bloated and heavy. How long do you think it generally takes for this to work? I am at the end of my first bottle of Candistroy and getting ready to start a new one. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!!
I am on day two of being on the program (candistroy,PB-8, Intestinew & multi-enzymes). And I'm a nursing mom. It makes me a little nervous, but so far so good! Yesterday I had a tiny bit of on and off dizziness and very slight nausea, but I seem fine now. The baby has a bit of red yeast rash, but it's going away I think. I've lost 2 pounds already. Tomorrow is day three, I'll check back in a couple of weeks. My question at the moment is, HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN TO STOP THE CLEANSE? HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE YEAST IS UNDER CONTROL? The Candistroy says to take it from 4 to 6 months, and then after that you have to go off for a month and then you can resume again. It sounds like the bare minimum they suggest is 4 months, and that is with a very restricted diet, and Kelley you seem to suggest the minimum being 2 months with a completely unrestricted diet. Can you shed some light on this?
Hi Brenda,
The pills have a problem...they are just too weak. One teaspoon of the powder will have maybe 4.5 grams. The pills might have 500 mgs or 1,000 mgs.
Also, I'm starting to notice that those who use the olive leaf extract and the caprylic acid are getting better results than those using the Candistroy.
That's not to say that the Candistroy doesn't work, but the other two appear to be working better.
So if you haven't bought the second box yet, I'd go fo the olive leaf and caprylic acid instead. But if you've already started the Candistroy, it does work if not as quickly.
As for the super sugar cravings, sometimes we get what are called cleansing reactions. They pass quickly in most cases. But two weeks sounds too long.
One final thought. Foods with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) increase hunger. So if you were to avoid one type of food, I'd avoid the HFCS.
The best to you.

Hi Alisha,
The way I could tell was that my cravings vanished! I mean poof! Still I think it's good to continue a little while longer just to make sure I got it all.
As I said in my last answer, I'm also starting to notice that those who use the olive leaf extract and the caprylic acid are getting better, quicker results than those using the Candistroy.
That's not to say that the Candistroy doesn't work, but the other two appear to be working better...and quicker...for everyone.
So I'm going to edit my origiinal message and suggest everyone use the olive leaf and caprylic acid instead, so that the cure doesn't take so long.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Thanks for your answer Kelly, I will try to avoid the high fructose foods and stick with fresh fruits and whole foods. I have not bought the next round of canditstroy so I will try the olive leaf extract and the caprylic acid, I will also get the intestinew instead of the pills. Today my cravings are not quite as bad and I am not quite as bloated. It may take me a little more time to cleanse than other people. I probably have had yeast my entire life and it isn't going to go without a fight I am sure. Thanks Again!!
You're welcome, Brenda. I can tell you're going to make it happen. Good for you!
The best to you.

Well, it's only day 4 and I'm noticing my stomach is flatter than usual and doesn't bloat as much after meals. I'm taking two of the multi enzymes (Dr. Michael Murry High Potency vegetarian formula) per meal. My headaches are much less. I'm not craving food as much, but I am sometimes not as satisfied as I'd like to be, since I'm on a super restricted diet due to celiac, insulin resistance and fighting off the yeast. I do best on mainly fresh and cooked veggies, natural meat of some sort and only a tiny bit of starch (ie whole grain brown rice or quinoa) and almost no fruit (only a few berries and granny smith apples). Of course tons of pure water and herbal tea with stevia, such as chamomile and peppermint. I've lost the couple pounds I mentioned before, but I hope to start losing much more. When I bought my stuff for this cleanse, I purchased all I needed for the two months, because I didn't want to pay shipping and handling twice, so I did buy the two boxes of Candistroy. But if I feel I need to continue past two months, then I'll purchase the olive leaf extract and the caprylic acid.
I was looking on Vitacost, to see what brands and how much the caprylic acid costs. They don't have anything that is just that. However, I came across the product that I've heard so much about called "Pure Essence Labs CANDEX Yeast Management System". It's rather expensive. But I wanted to know if you've ever heard of it and see what you think of it. Usually people who sell Shakley products recommend it, even though it's not one of their products. That much I know. So what do you think?
Kelley, I have been reading for HOURS, but all worth it, I hope. You've been soooo patient with all the questions, and I hate to add one more. My hesitation is that I have chronic migraines, and so I am afraid to start a cleaning program that might make the migraines worse. At this point, they are almost daily. :( BUT, on the other hand, my intuition tells me it might make the migraines go away or become more manageable. I haven't worked for over 2 years b/c of the migraines and accompanying depression. Unfortunately, mine was the larger salary. So, we're really, really poor. I just wondered whether any of your other readers, or you yourself, have known anyone with chronic migraines who attempted the yeast cleansing program. Thanks for your time and all your efforts to spread the word.
:) Sincerely,
Mary Ann H
The Vitamin Shoppe www.vitaminshoppe.com, is having a buy one get the second half off sale, and their shipping and handling is only $2.99 right now. I have no affiliation with them of course. I just happened on their site, since someone up above mentioned that they had caprylic acid by itself and Vitacost doesn't. So it seems if you want to go the caprylic acid/olive leaf extract route, it would be cheaper over all (at least right now) to go with the Vitamin Shoppe. I'm always looking out for a deal if I have to buy stuff, so I wanted to let everyone know.
This is to Carol who posted a few days back re the program not working for her, still bloating significantly after eating even something very light like the salad she described. Excessive bloating after eating, when you've tried just about everything eles, could be an indication of something more serious -- I strongly recommend you see a gynecologist and get checked for ovarian cancer. . . I am not saying that you have this, but I will just say that a friend of mine had severe abdominal bloating for nearly 2 years and tried all sorts of things -- even had many tests run with gastroenterologists and finally, eventually, they tested her for ovarian cancer and sure enough - that is what it was . but it was found too late. So ...for what it is worth (and I'm not trying to take anything away from the validity of the recommended program here at ALL) please see a doctor and get ovarian cancer ruled out. Most sincerely (another), Carol (CHRJ).
To MaryAnnH I understand the migraines as I have suffered with them for 47 years. I have been to many many doctors and chiropractors and I could never figure out what was causing them. Some times I would get them for 4 or 5 days in a row and them sometimes I wouldnt have one for a week or more. I have been on the program for a couple of weeks and they were really bad in the beginning but now and they have gotten much better. I still get them but not as often and they arent quite as severe.
I have finally figured out that if I eat bread or anythng with white flour or sugar, or some thing that has any kind of (chemical) in it I would get a headache. If I walked down the candle isle at Walmart, I would get a headache. If I got a (whiff )of someones parfume I would get a headache. This has to be an allergy caused by the yeast!
I think by doing the yeast cleanse all of those symptoms will eventually go away. I know that it will take me longer than 2 months to get rid of the yeast because I have had to have gotten the yeast back when I was 7 and had my appendix out and the doctor shot me full of antibiotics.
I started out taking the Candistroy, Gluitimine powder, PB8 Probiotc, but when the first box was gone I switched to the Olive leaf protocal and have noticed a big difference. Sometimes I even forget to eat. And for me that is the best thing that could have ever happened. Before doing this I could eat and within an hour I was starving. Never could figure out why. THANKS TO KELLEY I no loger have that problem.
I also have found a great migraine med called Relpax (40mg), (my Dr even uses it) and it takes the migraine away and I can actually make it thru the day. Its expensive and I don't have insurance but its so worth it!
I hope this helps.
Not that I'm trying to diagnose anyone else, but I can tell you in my experience, my bad headaches, full body aches, major puffiness, weight gain and inability to lose weight was due to having celiac disease. It's the intolerance to eating, touching or using body products that include wheat or gluten. Check out www.celiac.org Many people have it and aren't aware at all. But the word is getting out more now. It's super hard to get diagnosed, but if you go off all gluten and wheat and feel better, it's a surefire way to know.
Alisha, Thanks so much for the info I will check it out.
Hi Alisha,
I haven't heard of the yeast program you're asking about, but if it comes well recommended, that's a good sign.
I'm glad to hear you're getting some good early results.
The best to you.

Hi MaryAnn,
Boy oh oboy do I have great news for you! There's a line of products called SinusBuster. They have a migraine formula (different from their headache formula.)
It usually lifts a migraine in ONE MINUTE! And it stays gone. [All I ask is 10% of your income when you're able to return to work...especially if it's a lot. ;-)]
Then you can do my program at your leisure to get rid of the underlying cause if that's what it is.
The best to you.

Hi, thank you so much for your website. I am small and weigh about 120 pounds, but have this terrible bloated stomach, that i've had since having my daughter (she's 18 months old!). I feel like i'm 6 months pregnant again. I also have really bad fungal rashes in between my fingers. It gets bad at night, and then i put nystatin on it gets better, tll the next night. It's so weird. Doctors told me it was eczema, but there were all these blisters. I did research and realized that it's from the Candida. I then did the spit test, and yup, I had candida. Anyway, I just ordered all the supps on vitacost, substituting the Thorne SF770 instead of the caprylic acid. I read elsewhere that it's much more effective than the caprylic acid.
I was wondering if you could help me with topical (to avoid nystatin) treatment for my finger fungus issue, and also what to do about bad constipation? I take magnesium with calcium from Trader Joe's and it hasn't helped much. Also, I have the brain fog too, especially when i first wake up in the morning until i down about a liter of water (literally). I'd love to hear more about the metal poison issues, since I used to have 5 mercury fillings (all removed with the last 5 years).
Thanks Kelley and everyone for the great information!
Hi Tina,
As a topical, I might use either tea tree oil directly on the affected area or tea tree lotion. Maybe some others will have additional suggestions from their own experience.
The PB-8 works great for me and many others in producing easy bowel movements. An occasional "Swiss Kriss"can help a lot if one is backed up and just can't go. It's not for everyday use, but it is gentle and effective.
The best to you.

To Tina: Kelley is right, tea tree oil is a great skin conditioner. Something else that might be aggravating the rash could be your soap--hand soap, shower soap, dish soap. Most US manufacturers freely use mineral oil in their soaps, lotions and cosmetics. I believe it is a regulated substance in Europe, but our wonderful FDA has put it in the GRAS category (generally recognized as safe). Mineral Oil is a very occlusive oil--meaning it clogs pores on your skin so that they can't respirate. I've heard it described as liquid saran wrap on your skin. Many folks aren't aware that their skin is their largest elimination organ (and all this time you thought it was your colon, tsk tsk). Mineral Oil is a by-product of the distillation process that turns crude oil into gasoline. If you're like me, I have a hard time pronouncing many listed ingredients on product labels because of their "scientific" names. It is often referred to as petrolatum or mineral spirits. Mineral oil also has an evil step-sibling (brother or sister, you choose, lol) called propylene glycol. Propylene Glycol is the main ingredient in anti-freeze. But, don't be surprised if you find it listed as an ingredient in your hair shampoo or shower gel or your favorite lotion.
I'm sorry, this is a real "soap box" (pun intended) for me. Mineral Oil is cheap, refineries practically give it away because it is more expensive to dispose of it properly (because of the EPA and their hazardous waste standards). Doesn't it just warm the cockles of your heart to know that the FDA has your best interests at heart? (not!) Anyway, look for soap that doesn't contain any mineral oil, petrolatum, mineral spirits, or propylene glycol. Unfortunately, the formulations in your local health food mart aren't necessarily mineral oil free either. There are SOME, but you'll probably have to read a lot of labels before you find one.
Kelly, thanks so much for the heads up on the migraine product. I'll look for it the next time I'm in town. BTW, I've read all of your hub pages from top to bottom. As soon as possible, I'm going to order the book, but it'll have to be paper back, as we don't own an iPod (I'm assuming that's what the digital choice is all about)
God Bless!

That's very interesting that mineral oil, petrolatum and mineral spirits are very similar. Because you mentioned it, I did a little research and found out that mineral oil is just liquid petrolatum and baby oil is just mineral oil slightly enhanced with a fragrance. It's so wonder baby oil will kill a baby or small child if they ingest it and it gets in their lungs. I heard a story about it on the news. Once that happens, there is nothing doctors can do. That's why people need to keep baby oil and mineral oil out of their houses. There is NOTHING good about it. I too have tried to avoid these ingredients, but now I'm learning more about them. I'd also like to make people aware that propylene glycol is in most toothpastes and a lot of foods. It's used to make things more fluid. That's why it's so important to check labels each and every time. Because products you think are safe can change the ingredients at any time. Thanks for sharing about this!
Kelley, does that peppermint soap have a lingering scent, or when you use it does it go away?
Wow, you guys are so informative! I recently switched to using Burt's Bees everything for both me and my daughter, but have not made the switch with things like hand soap. Where can I get just plain tea tree oil or even the lotion? I can't believe how much more advanced Europe is compared to us, where the people's interest taking priority over big business. As to toothpaste, does the Tom's brand not contain all the junk? What are your feelings about fluoride - I've heard it's basically the junk left over that companies give away to the govt to dump in our drinking water. Not sure how accurate this is though.
Also, thanks about the migraine info. I passed it along to my sister, who suffers from them terribly.
Tina
Kelley: I have heart disease and have 2 stents in one artery. I am also on blood pressure and heart meds. I have had yeast rashes under my breast and in the public area for years so I started the regime to rid the yeast. Should that be okay?
Fluoride is a whole different thing. Yes its a waste product from aluminium manufacturig, and companies love the government for taking it off their hands for a price even. But make no mistake, it is a toxin and does all kinds od damage in your system. Really enlightened dentists won't use it anymore, for the above reasons, but it does prevent caries in young children. Is that any reason to have our drinking water contaminated with it ? I could tell you lots more about this evil toxin.
I read Kelley's hub as I am interested in getting rid of yeast, having had toenail fungus for eons. Am 80, but otherwise healthy. Not taking any pharma garbage and I think Kelley is providing a great service. More human beings should think that way for a better world. But here I go preaching "shoulds" and I ought not do that either. I wish all of you good fortune and be well. I will give Tea Tree Oil another chance on my toenail fungus, although I tried it many years ago w/o much success.
Hi Alisha,
I put about a 1/4 inch of peppermint oil in one of those pump bottles that are found in most bathrooms these days. I fill the rest with water.
It works great with no lingering peppermint odor.
The best to you.
Kelley 'Hints from Heloise' Eidem ;-)

Hi Marilyn,
While I can't prescribe for you, if it were me, I would do the program. I might take the caprylic acid for a few days before beginning the olive leaf extract.
I've written an eBook called "It's Not Just For Sex." It reports on a Nobel Prize winning secret that helps to lower blood pressure.
Blood pressure meds can make a person feel tired. Over time, they can also enlarge the heart.
A local anesthesiologist told me that the cholesterol meds "lower cholesterol and cause heart attacks."
Finally, cholesterol actually helps HEAL injured tissue. It's good stuff...for our brain and for making hormones we need.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Actually the best thing for toenail fungus I have heard is oil of oregano. It's supposed to work much better than tea tree oil. I don't have experience with either, but if I ever needed to use something, that's what I would use.
Alisha, you and I should get together and share our tips & tricks. =D I didn't know about oil of oregano. Are we allowed to share email or instant messenger information?
Tina, you can get tea tree oil at any health food mart--just make sure it is the pure essential oil. Because it is pure essential oil, it will be a little on the pricey side, but it just takes a few drops, and it will last forever. As for lotions in the health marts, I'd be reading the labels big time before I shelled out any $$.
Kelley, you are just a wealth of information! You constantly amaze me with your tips, tricks and tidbits. Thank God for your original writing assignment years ago. Who knew it would come to all this? =D I'm an ardent admirer now...my husband will be jealous (not really, but it makes good copy, lol). Now I'm curious about the other eBook "It's not just for Sex". What a titillating title. :)
Thanks for all that you do, and thanks to the others who share their thoughts and wisdom. We're better together than apart. =D
Dear Cheri,
I tried many different enzymes with the same response. I would not want to name them as I still believe they are good products. For some reason this happened with the spasms and stomach problems. I don't know why. What we finally used was the Neprinol from Arthur Andrew Medical that I mentioned in the article. As I mentioned when I was reading about it, the article mentioned that it would not cause any stomach problems and that was how I got interested in that product. As I said most people thought I was nuts, that enzymes should not cause any problems. I am just saying they did and I don't know why. Most of the enzymes have ingredients from animals, this is the only thing I can think of. The Neprinol does not as far as I know. I love the information on this forum and am trying to learn just like everyone else. The only reason I wrote what I did was because I saw someone else's comment on stomach problems and enzymes. Which I quess validated my previous thoughts. It was nice to know that I wasn't crazy. I will post part of the email from Arthur Medical explaining part of their explanation on enzymes if that would be ok with Mr.Eidem. Or as an alternative my email is acassidy3@tampabay.rr.com and I will just send it to you. Sincerely, Melissa
Hi MayAnn,,
LOL! It does make for good copy. Let's see if the web address will go through:
http://www.itsnotjustforsex.com
If not, just Google "It's Not Just For Sex"
Yes it is for sex, but not JUST for sex. It's actually stuffed with footnotes from peer review journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, JAMA, Nature, Cardiology, etc.
Although the website focuses on men, the same compound works for women, too.
But not to scare anyone off, it's a fun read. And it worked for me to lower my blood pressure 40 points in a week. You might want to go slower.
The best to you.

Dear Kelly - my father died of prostate cancer in July and my mother has survived 2 bouts of breast cancer and now has chronic lymphoma. With high motivation to reduce risk, I followed your regime for the last month only to gain 5 pounds and have food cravings increase, particularly bread, pasta and chocolate. Use the caprylic acid, olive leave extract, IntestiNew, Primal Defense and digestive enzymes. Got rashes and cysts on legs and arms + increased facial acne, which appears common. From another comment on this hub, would it be better for me to stop this regime and start a parasite treatment? I contracted the coxsackie virus in 1996, which infected the lining of my lungs and heart. Took 3 years to recover with homeopathic treatment (core remedy was sepia). I really want to stop being ruled by food and lose 20 pounds. Several science degrees and extensive web research makes me believe your method should work. Please advise. Thanks.
Hi Kim.
Here's what I would do if it were me. There's a product called "The Cleaner." I'd get the 14 day size. it is a really outstanding colon cleanser, plus it has some parasite removers.
I'd do 7 days, pause for 7 days and then do another 7 days, and so on until I'd used all the pills.)
When I used it, I found I needed only half a dose. So if I were you, I'd start with a quarter dose (1 pill morning and night) and gradually work up to a level that worked for me.)
The reactions you've described sounds like your body was trying to release all the junk as fast as it could. I'd drink extra water and go slowly.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, Just wanted you to know that I got my Chi machine and used it for the first time this morning and all I can say is OMG!!! I understand what you mean by the tingle!!! I cant wait to use it again. THANK YOU! :)
Hi Liquidfire!
The TINGLE...isn't it COOL!
That tingle is a signal that more blood oxygen and is flowing into your tissues and organs. So it "only" helps those things where more oxygen would be helpful!
I could think of a whole bunch of things where that would be helpful...like my brain,
my heart,
my joints,
my legs,
my eyeballs,
my thyroid,
my immune system,
my lymph system,
even my 'pure perfect' liver! LOL!
I remember the first night of sleep after I used it (twice for only about three and five minutes.) It was the best night of sleep I'd gotten in over a year!
I keep using it, especially when I 've stayed up late because it gives me a real good quality of sleep.
Oh, a good friend has told a bunch of people that I'm more pleasant to be around, too! If that were the only thing the Chi machine did, it would be worth 10 times the price, because there almost nothing better than being more pleasant.
Well, with that said, I'm going to get to it right now.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
I'm interested in this "The Cleaner" program you are talking about. I have severe constipation - my whole life really, but worse after pregnancy. I've always been small, like a size 2 or 4, but a big belly compared to the rest of me. Anyway, how shoudl I go about taking these pills with the supplements you list above for the yeast issue?
Thanks,
Tina
Hi Tina,
That's a great question.
I'd just follow the label instructions, taking it in the morning and evening, but lowering the dosage based on my own response if that were necessary.
The best to you.

Kelley, I have to tell you I am addicted to the Chi machine. I did it for 2 min this morning and 4 mim this afternoon and I can't wait till tomorrow! I have been having problems with my neck for the last week and have been going to the Chiropractor for treatments and after using the Chi machine the pain goes away for hours. I put on my headphones and listen to Jonathan Goldman's cd The Lost Chord which works with each chakra. It is so amazing!
Hi Kelley, you mentioned that some medications are yeast promoting. Would the antidepressant Prozac fall into that category? I've been taking the pills for six weeks, and while my wife is having results, I am not.
"The pills" I referred to are olive and caprylic, etc. I've been taking an antidepressant for 1.5 years. Thanks!
Hi Wondering.
You've made a great observation!
The problem with Prozac is that they can make receptors in the digestive tract numb from overstimulation. This leads to sluggishness in digestion and elimination. It can also do the same thing to sexual function by making the receptors numb.
The result can be weight gain and impacted waste product in the colon. Also, when we don't absorp nutrients properly, we might be hungry more often.
I prefer St. John's wort over Prozac and the other SSRI's. Recent studies indicate that St. John's wort is more effective than Prozac for severe depression as well as earlier research that shows it's equally or more effective for moderate or mild depression.
In Germany, where physicians are required to pass a test on herbs to get their license, half of all prescriptions for depression was St. John's wort. Only 3% was Prozac.
Other natural mod elevators include 5-HTP and SAM-e. B vitamins are also helpful. Recent research says that those with low blood levels of B-12 have a sixfold risk for brain shrinkage over those with high levels.
The methyl form of B-12 taken under the tongue is what I take and is the most efficiently absorped. Stomach acid destroys 98% of B-12 that is swallowed. But 90% is absorped when put under the tongue (sublingual.)
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
That makes sense to me--have definitely noticed the "sluggishness in digestion and elimination."
I'm going to go off Prozac.
My first question is, does that mean the caprylic/olive leaf did not kill off the yeast?
My second is, how long might it take my system to recover from Prozac?
Thanks again.
It's been a week now that I've been taking the Candistroy & probiotic, PB-8 probiotic, IntestiNew and a multi-enzyme. Although, I'm doing great, my skin is rather glowy, I've lost 6.5 pounds, my stomach is flatter, my stomach doesn't bloat when I eat, I feel less puffy etc, my nursing baby developed hives last night. I'm pretty sure the goldenseal in the Candistroy is the culprit. It can be a common allergen, and we do have that allergy in the family. It's also not recommended to take goldenseal while nursing. It's not known if it can harm infants. Of course I've gone off it immediately. I feel badly that this happened, and I wanted to warn everyone else. I have researched quite extensively to find a safe and better alternative and the answer is CANDEX. It has completely different ingredients, it's safe for nursing, it's very effective. Now it's more expensive ($44.99 through Vitacost or The Vitamin Shoppe for 120 pills), but worth every penny I'm sure. I have known many people to use that product and know that Shakley distributors recommend it's use, although it's not even one of their products. So, that's what I need to get. It might be a while though. It upsets me that I'm doing so well and now this has bothered my baby, and I wasted money and now I'm going to have to spend more. But learn from my experience. Oh, I should also mention that though olive leaf extract is completely safe to take while nursing caprylic acid is absolutely NOT safe to take while nursing. I guess I should have researched this all better before starting the regime, but live and learn. So if you are nursing, CANDEX is what you want to take to kill the yeast, and then take the rest of the supplements PB-8, IntestiNew and a multi-enzyme.
Hi Wondering,
The first thing I would do about the prozac is to check with a pharmacist about quitting Prozac. It might need to be done gradually, otherwise there can be srtong reactions.
I really couldn't say if the prozac prevented the olive leaf and captrylic acid from working or not. It might have been working to eliminate the yeast, but you'd still be hungry from not being able to absorb your food properly.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
I got a wonderful laugh reading your pitch for the ebook "It's not just for Sex". Your wording was wonderfully clever and I plan to order it for myself as soon as I see the first symptoms of diminished drive or function. Thanks again for the health benefits of a hardy laugh... I don't get enough of those as it is.

Hi Kelley,
I've been looking over your hub for a few days now, got it on a Dr Mercola post. I purchased NOW brand glutamine powder 750mg per 1/2 teaspoon, NOW brand Caprlic Acid 600 mg, the PB8, Natures Way Olive Leaf 470mg certified, I also purchased the NOW brand Plant Enzymes. The enzymes breakdown protein, starch, fat, fiber lactose, and extra protein digesting enzymes. I chose a plant enzyme because I used to take a multi one with OX bile in it, and an accupuncturist told me to only take it with meals that make my colon sluggish - beef for me. She said that the body can become dependant on the ox bile for digestion and gets lazy. I just want to pass this on so people can decide which enzyme they want to use. Great site, I am forwarding it to all my girlfriends!
Donna
oops the glutamine powder is for 1/4 level teaspoon. if only I would proofread :)
Thank you for sharing the site, Donna!

i was curious to know if high fructose corn syrup, is the same as corn syrup? if not whats the difference?
Hi Curious,
Good question! That would be worthy of a Google search.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is any of a group of corn syrups which have undergone enzymatic processing in order to increase their fructose content and are then mixed with pure corn syrup (100% glucose) to reach their final form. You can go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_sy and read more about HFCS. I refuse to consume anything that has HFCS in it as it is really bad for you.
Hi Curious,
Dr Mercola has a great article on his website about HFCS it will answer a lot of your questions.
Hi, I'm just wondering if there are more people out there that can share their experience with overcoming the yeast without having to change your diet. I keep hearing that diet MUST be changed, and I've tried it but give up after 2-3 days. It's so hard to do - you live off of chicken and broccoli! haha.
Thanks!
Hi Tina,
Amen to your desire! That's what my program is all about. Some of the previous comments attest to that.
By getting to the root of the problem, sooner or later one's cravings change.
The best to you.

Hi Tina,
Here's an update of my status (I posted 4 weeks ago).
I started the supplements on August 5. After three weeks, the yeast was going, I wasn't very hungry. I stopped taking the supplements after five weeks (seven weeks now since I began). In the past four weeks I've lost nine pounds, truly effortlessly. I have been very food-fixated for a long time--thinking about food and my weight too much--knowing what my next meal would be...
So, I did not "change" my diet--it's changing on its own. I don't eat as much, snack foods rarely appeal to me, and when I do snack, I hardly eat any of it. Sometimes just thinking about food is really unappealing, and this from a woman who used to graze all night after getting home from work!
Hope you find this helpful. I know when I started I was hoping more people would post results so I could be inspired.
Terri
Hi,
I started one week ago, and have noticed a change in my desire for certain foods. My digestion and elimination are much better, and my gut feels better. About me: I am 39, have 1 child, 5'7", 132 lbs. For as long as I can remember I've been lactose intolerant, soy intolerant, hight fat meals give me diarreha, and beef stops everything for a few days.
Weight loss isn't my top priority for following the protocol. I want a healthy gut, and so far it is working. I am not hungry all the time, unless I eat the junk foods. If I eat a medium banana, I am full for quite a while now. I am amazed.
Much like Terri, I have not changed my diet. my taste buds are changing it for me. I've always known that my body operates better when given real food, and not processed ones. I gave up diet sodas, and "lite" frozen meals, foods, and condiments years ago. I only use real mayo, real butter, real salad dressings. The only time I use lite is sour cream because its made lite by using skim milk, not with 20 chemicals.
Now that one week is up, I am going to start taking 2 caprylic acid & 2 olive leave extract a day.
p.s. I notice my allergy symptoms feeling better too, and we are in weed season here in Illinois.
Donna
Hi Terri and Donna,
Congratulations to both of you! You have left some awesome testimonials. They'll surely inspire many others to get started.
If you're out there reading this and wondering, I encourage you to go ahead and get going towards the results you want.
And send this page to your buddies, relatives, coworkers and strangers ;-).
By the way, there have been some great testimonials recently on my cancer hub page too.
The best to you.

Hi Donna and Terri,
Thanks for your posts. They are very motivating. What brand did you use for the caprylic acid and olive leave extract?
Pat
Hi Pat
I used NOW brand. Terri
Kelley, Donna and Terri, Thanks so much for the reply.
I also don't really NEED to lose weight, but would like to not look pregnant anymore and also to combat bad constipation. So, I finally got all my supps and have been taking them for the last week. I noticed that every time I go to the bathroom, there is white stringy stuff floating. Yuk, I know. Is this the devil yeast itself? haha, anyway, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Also, Kelley, I did the "Cleaner" last week and it worked great. Since stopping, however, i'm constipated again. Not sure if this is the cause or symptom of my yeast problem too. Oh, and I'm still craving sweets! I'm waiting for that to go away before I rot all my teeth!
Tina
Hi Tina,
I'd keep taking the PB-8 to help with having easy bowel movements. As for the cravings, some people appear to get rid of their cravings within the first couple weeks. For others, it can take a month or two.
If you eat anything with sugar, try to avoid high fructose corn syrup. Eating it increases a hormone that increases hunger.
Meanwhile, we'll pray for your teeth! :-)
The best to you.

I noticed that some of you suffer from migraines, so I wanted to share my story with you. I'm a 31-year-old female, who's been suffering from frequent and, sometimes very painful, migraines for over 10 years now.
Following Kelley's recommendation , I started taking Evening Primrose oil daily for prevention (got Dr. Mercola's Krill Oil for Women) and found it to be extremely useful. Also, when I do get headaches, I use the Sinus Buster Migraine Formula, with again very good results. I must comment here that my migraine doesn't go away right away, as it happens with some people who use the Sinus Buster Migraine Formula, but it usually dissolves within a couple of hours. And, when I do get those excuciating migraines, which usually last 2-3 days, the Sinus Buster Migraine Formula keeps the pain bearable until it finally goes away by the end of the day.
I'm very grateful to Kelley for this, as I've tried nearly everything over the last decade: conventional medicine, alternative medicine including Chinese medicine, acupuncture, bioresonance therapy, EFT, the diet approach based on food sensitivities, to name but a few.
Best wishes,
Evi
Hi Kelley,
I need clarification, please. Do you need to take the caprylic acid & olive leaf extract twice a day along with the PB-8 and the intestinew? This is what I have been doing for about 1 month. I am anticipating a great result from my cravings for chocolate which would be like a miracle for me.
Best Regards,
Cindy
Hi Cindy.
That's just fine the way you're doing it now. I typically suggest people start with only one a day of the caprylic acid and the olive leaf for the first couple weeks, because the yeast die off can be unpleasant.
Good luck.
The best to you.

One of the promises of the Candex product is that there is no die off effect, but it still is supposed to be highly effective. I'm hoping it's true! I ordered the 120 ct from www.nutritiongeeks.com at $44.99 with FREE shipping and handling for that product. I'm not really sure why it's free, but I was happy to find it. I have to admit since I had to stop the Candistroy due to my nursing baby's hives reaction (because of the golden seal), and because of our wedding anniversary I haven't been very strict with my diet. It's been fun, but I'm terribly anxious to get back on the supplements, once the Candex gets here. I'm looking forward to start seeing results again. I mean, six pounds gone in just the first week! That's awesome! I'll keep you posted!
Hi Kelley, Just wanted to let you know I have been using the Chi Machine for almost 3 weeks and I feel wonderful. I am losing inches in my thighs and butt. My pants are getting to big. I love the tingle I get and the end of my workout!
I have been doing the yeast protocal for 2 months. I am still having a lot of yeast problems, do you think I should up the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid? We were invited out to dinner and the host had made his famous spaghetti and I ate a little bit, and the next morning my mouth felt like it was on fire from thursh. It had to have been the spaghetti as I ate mostley salad and no bread. I feel better but the yeast just doesnt seem to be going away.
I have celiac disease which makes eating out nearly impossible. Avoiding social gatherings that include food has just become normal. I socialize of course, just without food. It would be a wise thing for people trying to avoid sugars, yeast etc, too! When invited for such things, just briefly explain that you have special dietary needs right now, and would love to get together but would prefer to avoid food situations at this time. (= That way you don't have to worry about temptations, or feeling bad physically or risk offending them when you don't consume their specialties they worked so hard on, that is like DEATH to you. (=
Btw, I just got the Candex in the mail today! Tomorrow I start back on the cleanse! I finished my chocolate my lovely hubby got me and I'm ready to get back on track!! I'll keep you posted!

Thank you! I simply have to start my comment off with a HUGE THANK YOU!!
I've been spending literally hours and hours for the last few weeks looking on the web for something that could help me with the various health problems that seem to be piling up on me over the last several years. I've had miserable allergies for the last 8 or 9 years. I started off being practically bedridden for my headaches. My great grandmother and my father suffered their entire lives with migraines and at 35, I figured I was doomed to this life as well. I saw a doctor who gave me some steroid shots for about a year and then informed me that I should see an allergist before they destroyed my kidneys or liver with whatever they were injecting me with to keep my headaches under control. Of course this was never mentioned during the year they treated me. So I started getting allergy shots, and just took Extra Strength Excedrin whenever I'd get a headache. This was usually about 2 or 3 times a week on average. Last year, I figured the shots had done whatever they could for me as I never really felt any better or worse and was taking Excedrin every other day anyways, so I quit seeing my allergist. Three months later and I was a wreck and started getting the shots again.
This summer, every day for the last 3 - 4 months, I've had to take Excedrin daily, which is more often than I've ever had to take it before. I started getting an infection on my large toe nail that basically overtook my entire nail. I've had some urinary problems that I thought were related to the problem I had with kidney stones a few years back and figured I had more stones developing. I have been chronically tired for years regardless of how many hours of sleep I got. It didn't matter if I got 6, 8, 10 or more hours of sleep, I always felt tired inside. Even when I was working out & lifting weights, it never really felt like I was all together. I always knew my diet was a large problem, as I usually only eat a couple times a day and the amount of candy and sugar and other garbage I ate each day would easily beat what any kid would get on Halloween. It never seemed to be a problem though as my metabolism is very high and I'm rather thin, so I just laughed about my eating habits.
Well, after this summer between getting headaches and daily to sometimes twice a day taking Excedrin, being unable to sleep and everything else, I started to get twitches & muscle spasms in my left eyelid. By now I figured I must be getting so wired on the Excedrin's caffeine that it was starting to effect my face muscles or I might be having the beginings of a stroke as thats happened in my family history. We also have a bad history of cancer, so I started looking up cures for that on the web also, which is how I came across this site by Kelley - Thank God!
After spending another week for a few hours each night reading everyones posts and checking out some of the different links that are here too, I figured I had a very bad yeast/candida infection. Again, its ironic that I found this site and this page especially, as I wasn't looking for a way to loose weight. I'm 43, 5' 8" and about 150 pounds soaking wet, but even though I look pretty healthy, my insides felt like garbage.
I saw on a site, http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/tongue.html that you should check for white coloration on your tongue. Mine was so thickly covered from the back of my mouth to the tip, the only pink area was underneath. I took some coarse salt and just dabbed it on my tongue and let it sit for a few minutes. It was gross, but I couldn't believe how much of the white came off. I've been salting my tongue every other day and it's slowly improving, but still has a somewhat light brown/sand color to it. The tip is pink, but it's still colored and still kind of thicker coated towards the back area. I'm hoping by Christmas it'll be all cleared up or I may try something else. I can't believe that after 8 years of looking at my throat, my tongue and up my nose at my sinuses, my allergist never had a clue on what was wrong with me. I'm also looking into having my metal fillings replaced, which I believe is the cause of some other issues I'm having. Again, I've had these since I was 8 or 9 years old and you'd think any of the dentists, orthodontists and other dental specialists and doctors that have examined me in the last 35 years might have told me how dangerous these things are to my health.
I went to a Vitamin Shoppe by my house with a print out of your remedy. By the way, a really big Thank You to Marina. A few posts back, you were kind enough to lay out the days "schedule" on taking the Olive Leaf, Caprylic acid, PB-8 and Intestinew. I have been doing that regularly for only one week and I could literally feel the difference in my body after the first day. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.
In addition to taking these, I am also drinking tea with Apple Cider Vinegar, Raw Honey and Black Strap Molasses twice a day.
I wake up with a clear head and sinuses. I used to be in a fog and spend 5-10 minutes blowing my nose over a sink with hot water soaking my nose and under my eyes to relieve the pressure - for 8 years I did this. In 1 week - it's like I had my old face ripped out and a brand new one put on.
I have been eating oatmeal with apples/bananas for breakfast. I hardly took time for breakfast and usually just waited until the afternoon and ate a few Snickers bars with Mt. Dew and stayed wired until dinner time. Even if I would eat a decent breakfast before like oatmeal, I used to put at least 1/5 to 1/4 of a pound of brown sugar in a bowl or it didn't seem sweet enough to me. If I ate Corn Flakes, I would literally sprinkle the sugar bowl across my bowl, eat a layer, sprinkle more sugar, eat a layer... If I had a coffee or tea, it took at least 2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar. All of life I have practically inhaled sugar with any meal I have ever ate - until this last week. I haven't put a drop of sugar into anything, had a candy bar, a soda etc.. and couldn't possibly care less.
I quit drinking milk and now just have either juice or water. Whenever I drank milk, had it with my cereal etc.. I would spend the next half hour blowing my nose. The only dairy product I've had this week is cheese slices if I have a sandwich - and that I now have on whole wheat bread instead of white.
During the day, I can't explain the type of energy my body and my mind seem to have. It's like an entire new me. At night, I get sleepy instead of tired and exhausted and I've only been sleeping about 5 to 6 hours of sleep during the week and closer to 7 this weekend.
I'm sorry if this is too long of a post and took up too much space. I usually only read stuff online and have only ever signed up and commented on sites a few times in my life. But this has literally changed my life so much for the better, that I have felt an enormous obligation to post something on this hub as to how this has helped me. Just in case anyone else who finds this site, like I did, needs just one more story of how some small change in your day's routine like taking these few items can drastically make your life better than you could have imagined possible. It happened to me. It's taken me about an hour to type this and I could still keep going on and on with how my health has improved in just 7 days.
I'm still trying to convince my wife to follow me with this program. She was skeptical when I told her that I found this site and was going to try to "fix" myself because I was sick of seeing doctors and never getting better. The first few days I started this, I drove her nuts, telling her how much better I was feeling, how alive I actually felt, how much better I could breathe and on and on with at least a dozen other problems that I've had over the years that have literally vanished this week. She unfortunately has weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and other problems and is on alot of medications and is afraid to try this yet. Every day I keep h
to finish what didn't post above:
I keep hoping that she will get the courage to try this with me. I'll keep checking back here and will post her results as well if she decides to do this too.
Again, thanks so much to Kelley and everyone else here for all of your information.
Hello I M Rockin!
Thank you for sharing your wondeful story. It wasn't to long. I enjoyed every word of it! You've probably helped...I don't know...probably at least one new person EACH and EVERY DAY from now on.
See - it wasn't your fault that you were so attracted to sugar. It was your body's wisdom to try to keep your brain alive. Once you got the yeast on the run, those cravings can go away.
Let me repeat what you said: "All of life I have practically inhaled sugar with any meal I have ever ate - until this last week. I haven't put a drop of sugar into anything, had a candy bar, a soda etc.. and couldn't possibly care less."
How awesome is that!
Now tell us how you really feel. ;-)
All of us will look forward to any updates you might have for us.
The best to you.

Hi Kelly, I went to Vitamin World (I used to work there!) and got the caprylic acid, olive leaf extract, multi-enzyme and glutamine powder. I've only just started taking them - I already am using a probiotic from Dr.Natura's cleanse. The olive leaf extract comes in a low dosage - only 150 mg per capsule, so I'm glad I've been trying to read these comments and noticed that you recommend a higher dosage than that.
I followed one of the links from an early comment (months ago) about olive leaf extract, and in that article it says not to take any extra amino acids or they could cancel out the effects of the olive leaf extract. Since you've stated that the glutamine powder is an amino acid - do we remedy the "cancel out" effect by not taking them within a few hours of each other? Or did I misunderstand. I'm on my third day, and had been taking the caprylic acid and olive leaf extract with my glass of water containing the glutamine powder. Any suggestions on dosages, times? (I apologize if you answered this - it's taking days to wade through all the wonderful comments/responese!)
I also noticed that many people asked about Dr. Natura's Colonix program. I highly recommend it! I just finished a three month cleanse using Colonix/Toxinout in July and lost two pants sizes. I didn't lose any weight at all, but apparently I was pretty puffy. I also witnessed parasites (the largest were after the 90 days) in my stool (sorry to be so graphic), just as the many pictures on the site show. Three of my sisters are trying it now after seeing the change in me.
But I still have a gut, so I was very excited to find your recommendations and they make total sense. I am hoping that between the total cleanse I just did and killing the yeast, I'll be back to normal proportions again. I am not overweight but unfortunately people do ask me if I'm pregnant! Awful.
Thanks again for this info.
Hi Amelia,
I'd take the glutamine twice a day. The other stuff once a day.
Despite what you've read elsewhere about amino acids and olive leaf, the program appears to work. There are 20 amino acids, so it's possible that certain ones might interfere, but apparently not the glutamine.
The olive leaf extract from Vitamin World is an extract. Generally, extracts are four times stronger than non-extracts.
The best to you.

How many MG's should the L-Glutamine powder have?
Hi Alisha,
The glutamine powder I've seen has 4.5 grams of glutamine per teaspoon. That's 4500 mgs.

Thank you! I did see some with that amount, but others that were much less. I wanted to be sure to get the right one, to make this program work. I'm already back down in my weight to what I had gotten down to my first time trying this program. Now with the Candex (which I highly recommend) that is very hypoallergenic and totally safe for nursing mom's or pregnant mom's, I know I'm going to get the results I want. Stay tuned!!
Hi I M Rockin.
You're obviously excited about your new life defeating the cravings you're overcoming, and you want to make it happen and happen quickly. Good for you!
I wish I could give you some counsel regarding your hydrogen peroxide and baking soda episodes.
I know the recipe I've offered has worked well for those who try it. I'd just keep working the program if it were me.
One more thing. Because we are biological and not machines, there care almost always ebbs and flows to any progress. I think you're doing great. Keep it up1
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
Thank you for the quick reply as well as the encouragement. I'm still spitting out foam-like saliva and can still taste the peroxide too. It's been about 22 hours since I did this and while it's not quite as bad as it was during the day and afternoon, I'll have to see how the night goes if I am able to sleep well and hopefully wake up with this out of my system.
Still, if anyone else has ever experienced anything like this, or has any information to pass on, I'd more than appreciate it.
Thanks again.
Hello I m rockin
In flu season I actually gargle that proxide. Its not going to hurt you even if it's not food grade. I also mix it will a little water and actually spray it down my throat.
it actually did keep me from getting sick, as I was in public all the time. But you are fine.
Wow really nice hub. You gave given very useful information. I loved it.
Hi Blessed,
I was just getting ready to get to sleep and thought I'd check back in. Thanks for the info. I am a little less stressed than I have been all day about this. The more I calm down and try to put things into perspective - I think I just have so much of this candida/yeast/infection in my tongue/mouth/body that I am going to have to slow down in my thinking of trying to cure myself "overnight" and just let the olive leaf/caprylic acid/PB-8 & Intestinew keeping running through me for at least a few more weeks and then see if my tongue color improves.
I think I just wanted too much too soon as far as a visible improvement when I look in the mirror at my tongue. The rest of my body and head and sinuses feel like a million times better than before from just a week of this procedure, but when you look at your tongue after you brush your teeth a few times each day, you just get somewhat anxious and want that to start healing on the same level as the rest of you feels. Thats why I tried the peroxide last night.
I'll post back later this week to give an update. Thanks again to all!
Great info. Thanks
Hi Kelley, Thanks for everything you are doing! In Australia, there was a company which supplied caprylic acid, but now there are none. I think it was the TGA which stopped. (Maybe they heard it works!?). Would you be able to suggest a substitute?

Hello, I have been following the program for about 2 months, although not fully as I would get terrible headaches in the beginning. So probably fully for about 3 weeks. Plus, I did do the Candistroy, 1 full box first, slowly. I didn't change my diet, but since doing it, I am having signs of itching and I am really craving sugar, way more than I have in years. Is this normal? And should I increase more than 2 olive leaf, 2 caprylic acid and 2 PB-8 2X a day? I have battled with candida for over 15 years and I have developed food allergies, which I have NEVER had in my life. But I am definately sleeping way better and I lost about 8 lbs. right away.
Hi Eric.
I'd probably substitute oregano oil for the caprylic acid, maybe one or two drops. It is really strong.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Hi HSM,
Are you saying you did the Candistroy and the olive leaf extract and the caprylic acid at the same time? If so, I'd stop taking the Candistroy.
I'd also cut back to one of each a day of the olive leaf and caprylic acid. When we heal, it's never in a straight line. It's possible that your body is throwing off the stuff that is now causing problems for you. The yeast contains 80 toxins, so when it dies, it can make a person feel bad.
Let's see if those sugar cravings and allergies are temporary. If they didn't go away soon, I'd test each of the products by eliminating one at a time for a week and then reintroducing it and watch my reaction.
The best to you.

I decided against doing the L-glutamine while nursing, because every bottle says NOT to use during nursing or pregnancy. There must be a reason, which I have yet to find out what that reason is, but I choose to err on the side of caution. So I'm just doing the Candex (which has been great) and the pro-biotics right now. I would be doing the enzymes too, but I ran out. )= I LOVE the enzymes when I'm on them. They take the bloat right out of life, which is awesome! And I think they are highly beneficial for celiacs too. I am having tons of cravings and I'm quite hungry. I'm waiting for this to subside. I'm drinking lots of water and chamomile tea to help my body to detox.
Hi Kelley: I am on my eight week of this program, taking cap. acid, olive leaf, probiotics, L-Glutamine and enzymes, as you recommended. I also checked with my doctor, who is a naturopath. She muscle-tested me for all the ingrediants and approved of everything. I started fairly slowing with the cap. acid and built up gradually, which made it fairly easy. I think I only had about one week of feeling slightly yukky.
I have lost about five pounds, unintended, but welcome and can fit into size 10 pants again (had gone up to 12). So all seems to be well, except that I am not very energetic. I am actually rather weak, which distresses me. My doctor took me off of the multivitamin/mineral supplement that I'd taken for years because she said that Vitamin B feeds yeast! This is what I'm writing to ask about. I looked on the internet and found that this seems to be true, but I hadn't heard about it in regard to combatting candida. She did give me a liquid mineral supplement but said I don't need vitamins. What is your opinion on this?
Thank you very very much for your service here!
Clover
Hi Kelly,
I did not take everything together. I got a box of the candistroy because it was the least expensive way and I wanted to start right away. Once I finished the Candistroy, I went on the caprylic acid, olive leaf and PB-8. I could definately tell these were stronger as only 1 of each in the morning still gave me the headache. I actually feel really good on 2 each morning and night. I don't have any more ill feelings and I haven't slept this well in years. I just the sugar cravings and the yeast felling like it is going crazy. And the developement of food allergies hasn't been since doing the program, it has been over the last 4-5 years. So I know I am dealing with yeast. This program is not causing the food allergies. Do you still think I should cut down and not take 2 ea. 2X a day? Thanks so much,
i keep reading about weight LOSS on this program, but i am underweight at this time, so am wondering if this will cause me to lose MORE weight?
thank you.
Hi Clover,
There are good yeasts and bad yeasts. But there are also yeast free supplements. It sounds like you need the multi for energy. That's what I would do if I were wanting to avoid the yeast.
The best to you.

Hi HSM,
It's sounds like you're having great success so far! It can vary greatly from person to person on how long it takes for the food cravings to go away.
Wow, you're taking a lot of the olive leaf and caprylic acid. If 2 twice a day was working for me, I'd stay with it. If it brought on unpleasant experiences, I'd cut back to half that amount.
The best to you.

Hi TheWoman,
This program is designed to create a healthier digestive tract by repairing the holes made by yeast overgrowth. Yeast overgrowth can interfere with proper assimilation.
That can lead to both weight gain and weight loss, especially if the person is suffering from loose stools. Oftentimes the yeast overgrowth can contribute to parasites which results in weight loss. So getting rid of the overgrowth is part of helping a person normalize their weight.
If I thought I had a yeast problem, I would not hesitate to follow my program even if I were under weight. It might contribute to weight normalization.
There may be other reasons why you are under weight. These are my thoughts regarding yeast overgrowth.
The best to you.

Hi again, Kelley! Thanks for your response about yeast and vitamins. I looked at some of the earlier posts and noticed that you take a "methyl form" of B12. Could you tell us more about that? Thanks.
I have googled around and found that there are yeast free multi-vitamins but I am still concerned about taking B vitamins even if they are yeast free. True, they will not put new yeast into my system, but if the B vitamins feed whatever yeast is already in there, then this seems counterproductive to the program. You said that there are good and bad yeasts; I'm talking about the Candida yeast.
So, again, I'm wondering if taking vitamins containing Bs, which are the ones I need for pep, will feed Candida.
Thanks.
I agree with Terri, that it's great to get feedback on how others are doing. For her and for Tina, who asked about diet, I'm happy to share my experiences. I did the caprillic acid, olive leaf extract regime, along with the probiotics, enzymes and L-glutamine. I started the cap. acid slowly with one a day and increased the dose every two weeks. I'm now just finishing 8 weeks and have been taking four a day.
I wondered, too, Tina, about having to change the diet right away, because, yes, it is hard. I did the best I could, gave up white pasta, most sugars including wine, fruit juices and most fruit. I was not absolutely perfect with the diet but I muddled through. The first week I grabbed a bag of Pepperidge farm cookies and devoured them, The following few weeks I had a few Dove bars and a Haagen Das ice cream bar. (confession is good for the soul).
I did continue to want sweets way into my second month. But gradually I got past the cravings and am pretty content to eat healthy stuff now. I also had several detox foot baths which drew out a lot of gunk and have been walking and doing yoga. For the metaphysically minded, I do affirmations about releasing everything that's not mine and I think this helps too.
Good luck to all,
Clover
Hope this helps.
I have a question for you, Kelley - you mentioned that birth control pills kill our friendly bacteria. So if a person is currently taking birth control pills, would this 'regimen' be counter-productive? Or would it still be helpful? Is there any other information on this topic that you could point me to? I'm really interested in trying this out, but not if I'm just going to end up back at square one because of the BC pills.
Thanks,
Keleigh
Hi Clover,
The methyl form is the way our body uses vitamin B. I can't explain it other than to say that recent research indicates that two compounds, namely methyls and acetyls, are the compounds that control our gene expression!
It's a brand new field of study that dwarfs the genome project.
It's a good idea to have enough methyls and enough acetyls. So I prefer the methyl form of vitamin B.
If I were taking two olive leaves and/or two caprylic acids twice a day, I wouldn't worry about the yeast growing...they are going to die. But if I tried taking the B's and it made me crave sweets or lots of starches, then I'd reevaluate.
The best to you.

Hi everyone, well, this program works! I am almost completely yeast free, except for the white tongue still - but it's not as bad. I feel so much better, and not like a complete brain fog. I wanted to point you guys to something else that may help with getting rid of the yeast and the bloated stomach - cutting back on fiber. I ran across this website called Fibermenace.com, and since going back to a low carb diet with virtually no fiber. I've gotten rid of the bloat, and I can actually go to the bathroom. It's the weirdest thing ever, since it goes completely against what doctors tell you. Also, i was drinking about 150 ounces of water a day! Now I'm down to about 40, and I feel so much better. I think too much fiber/water, was messing with my good bacteria. Anyway, I'm also eating yogurt (greek one with whey drained out), and I'm seeing great results. Just wanted to put this out there. Kelley - thanks for all the info. I'm still taking all my supplements, and the enzymes are a godsend along with the probiotics and eating yogurt. Good luck everyone!
Hi Keleigh,
Sorry for the delay in replying. My first reply got 'eaten' by the mysterious internet.
I'm probably the wrong person to ask about birth control pills because I'm so oppposed to them. Here's why.
Estrogen is what turns on cancer cells in both men and women. When we're healthy, our body can turn off the cancer cells, but as we get older our capacity to do that goes down.
As for the yeast factor, it's better to keep it on the run than to let it run amok. That's because too much yeast is also a major contributor to cancer...probably because it releases 80 toxins as long as it is flourishing.
The yeast overgrowth is from birth control pills is merely another harmful side effect of the Pill...killing the yeast won't affect the Pill's performance.
But, yeah, you are putting an extra strain on your body so long as you continue to take the Pill even if you fight back.
The best to you.

great hub! this will help a lot of people out there, even me! :)
I got to this hub from your post on Mercola.com Thanks for posting the link there. I find that I look forward to my daily bowl of Ice Cream. In fact, I am quite sad if I am unable to indulge... So your story resonated with me! I never thought about yeast, but I'm certain that is the problem. I look forward to trying your remedy - again, thanks so much for posting the links!
Hi Bill,
Between you and me, we'll put the icecream makers out of business! ;-)
I eat icecream very occasionally now. I can go months without it. Sometimes several months. Before, it was a half-gallon twice a week.
No will power is involved. None. I just don't care for any.

Thanks, Kelley, for the advice. I have decided to try vitamins, including Bs, again and see what happens. Yes, it makes sense that if I get to craving sweets again, I'll know to stop.
Clover
I have to pass on some information that I think might help anyone who has the candida/thrush problem in the mouth. I eat a clove of RAW CRUSHED GARLIC whenever I feel an episode coming on, and it usually eliminates the candida with one application. Since the garlic burns, I mix it with salsa. Dr. Mercola has good information on the properties of garlic at mercola.com.
Kelley, I am wondering if you think the raw garlic might actually work as well as the olive leaf/capryllic acid combination? I consulted an herbalist several years ago about the candida/thrush, and her recommendation of capryllic acid (in combination with probiotics) didn't have any effect.
By the way, thanks for caring enough to give everyone the benefit of your knowledge!
Laurie
Hi Laurie,
Thanks for your garlic tip!
My recipe has four parts, not just caprylic acid and a probiotic. The four parts appear to be working for almost all who try it.

Hi Kelly,
I have had pneumonia twice in one year, about six years back and I was on antibiotics for way too long ... since that time my weight and food cravings have been so far out of controll everytime I would gain weight I would diet and loose, only to gain back more than I had ever lost . Five years ago my daughter then 6 1/2 became type 1. I even wonder if I had a yeast problem before my daughter was born, anyway my point being that I had started the regimine that you recomended earlier this week so far I have taken 1 Capryl, 1 olive leaf 2 pb8 and 2 intestinew 1 Digestmore every morning should I take the same dose in the evening before dinner? I still have crazy sugar cravings . I started off slow I have a Hiatal Hernia and lots of stomach issues ... I used to have a flat stomach and worked out religiously but my weight gain has made it so hard to do the cardio that I used to do I am always out of breath I am thinking that I should research the Chi Machine to get me going.
With Best Regards, Fran
Hi Fran.
After a week or two I'd go up one on the caprylic acid and olive leaf extract if it were me, and then see if I could tolerate it.
Some people lose their sugar carvings quickly, but for most people, it can take a month or two. You might have a lot of yeast to get rid of due to the pneumoniatreatment.
As for a hiatal hernia, I got rid of mine by lying down on my bed and using the heel of my left hand dug under my ribs...slowly, taking about minute for the heel to sink in...and then slowly started pushing towards my feet.
For Type I, look up +"Dr. William Wong" and +diabete s on google. He's had success curing Type I in at least two people, probably many more by using enzymes.
I did that for a few days. What happened is that my diaphragm (sp?) relaxed, and my stomach was able to slip through to its normal position.
If you decide that the Chi machine is right for you, please use my #A229027. It's through things like that, that I'm able to devote my time to assisting you and everyone else. To find out more, you can call 866-548-3483. They's also be happy to take your order.

Hi Fran, I got the CHI Machine 2 months ago and it is awesome! I am losing weight and have so much energy. It was the best investment I have ever made!!!!
Well, it's my 3rd week into this and I'm still doing good. No more allergies or headaches. Still not a single craving for a candy bar or soda or sugar. But, I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask:
First, I have been taking 1 Olive Leaf Extract, 1 Caprylic Acid & 1 PB-8 after my beakfast and after my dinner. I keep reading here to up the dosages to 2 of each pill and then later to 3 of each pill per breakfast and dinner. The Olive Leaf bottle says to take 1 to 2 daily (Vitamin Shoppe 500mg per pill), the Caprylic Acid bottle says to take 2 to 3 pills daily (Vitamin Shoppe 2163mg per pill), and the PB-8 bottle says to take 2 pills per day. What dosages should I be taking now that I am starting my 3rd week?
My second question, which is actually bothering me quite a bit tonight and I've spent a few hours looking online before writing this, is I have 4 mercury fillings in my teeth. I have an appointment next week for a consultation at a dentist I found through a mercury free dental website, to find out how much it is going to cost me to have these replaced with a CEREC restoration. I am concerned with not so much the cost as I am about possibly having more problems develop than I am already dealing with. I am also wondering if it wouldn't be better to simply have the 4 teeth removed. But more to the point of this hubs concern - candida - I have read that the candida yeast actually helps eliminate the mercury fillings vapors/harmful effects. I wanted to know if by my treating the candida problem I have, am I creating an even more danerous problem of exposing myself to mercury poisoning until I get these teeth removed/refilled?
My tongue is still very tan brown and does not seem to be getting any clearer since I have started this "program" I am thinking it also might have something to do with the fillings in my mouth and may not clear up until I have my tooth situation resolved.
Before I drive myself nuts for the next week before my dental appointment, if anyone has any information or past experiences with this, I'd gladly welcome hearing from you. Thanks.
Hi I M Rockin,
Your story is simply amazing. You origianlly mentioned that you would eat more sugary food than a kid get on Holloween...and now you have no cravings for even a candy bar or soda!
You're a real insiration for anyone else who might be suffering as you did from headaches that had you bedridden, feeling tired, multiple allergies and so on!
Increasing the dosage on the caprylic acid and olive leaf is optional.
Maybe someone will have some info on the mercury fillings.
The best to you.

Just checked in before calling it a night. Kelley, I guess you were up late tonight too! Thanks for the quick reply, it's very nice of you to keep up with this site as fast as you do with people's comments.
Should I just keep taking 1 of the PB-8 pills after breakfast and dinner also? For now, I think I am going to hold off increasing anything until next week when I see the dentist about my fillings. I'll be sure to check back to see any other info to my dilema, as well as to give another update as to how my progress is going.
Hi I M Rockin,
Yeah, I'd keep the PB-8 at the same amount if it were me.

Hello, I have a prescription for diflucon at home. Could I take this instead of the olive leaf/calprylic acid to kill the yeast and then start taking the other items probiotics, glutamine powder and enzymes?
Can you specifically recommend a caprylic acid and a good multi-enzyme that I can take? I don't just want to buy any old product.
Thanks
Hi Kelley,
Great information. I bought all of the recommended and I will begin tomorrow.
Thank you
Hi Amber,
Diflucan is not a substitute for olive leaf extract or caprylic acid. I can't tell you not to take diflucan even though it is hard on your liver. I would never take it if I had a yeast or fungal problem. Never.
In my opinion the combination of olive leaf and caprylic acid is much more effective as well.
The best to you.

Hi BabyDoll,
When it comes to a good enzyme, different ones seem to work best for different people. It's often a matter of trial and error. I use the extra strength multi-enzyme from Vitamin World. I can't say that would be the best one for you.
Any caprylic acid should be okay.

To IM Rockin:
Hi. I recommend that you go back four months and read the comments posted here by JenJen as well as Kelley about mercury and candida, if you haven't already done so. I am not a health professional but have gathered some info about it through my own experience. I had my mercury fillings replaced about ten years ago and was monitored by a healer/herbalist who prepared me for a couple of months before and after with some herbal products that she liked. I had a mouthful of fillings done at once, in Mexico, by a wonderful dentist who'd been recommended to me. I had no problems at all but I was very careful.
I've been on Kelley's candida cleanse program for over two months. I see a naturopath regularly who muscle tested me for all the products (cap. acid, olive leaf, probiotic, enzyme and L-Glutamine) and advises on the dosage as I progress. She told me, as JenJen mentioned (four months ago) that candida acts as a kind of protector of heavy metals, and also parasites, so that when the candida leaves, the metals are exposed and you have to eliminate them somehow. So, you may want to investigate this before you go ahead and have your mercury fillings replaced.
Good luck!
Clover
Thanks, Clover!

Hi Kelley,
I have come to this hub page from your cancer hub. You recommended that I check this page because I have candida. I have read about half of the postings so far and am very encouraged. (I need to be doing my housework but I can't seem to tear myself away from this page!!) This seems easy enough, especially since there are no diet restrictions. It sounds too good to be true, but if you did it and others are doing it, then I think I can do it to. Now to my questions:
I have not taken an antibiotic in almost 15 yrs. I have not been on BC pills in about 20 yrs. Could I still be having yeast overgrowth from these that i took that long ago? Also, I actually have PB8 in my frig (I will need to get more very soon). My question is when should I take it? On am empty stomach, before meals, with meals, with the olive leaf and caprilyic acid or later at a different time? I just don't want the olive leaf and caprilyic acid to kill the PB8. Is my thinking correct?
Thanks for all your help. You are truly helping so many people!!
KG
Hi KG,
Yes, once yeast grows its roots, it's not budging, no matter how long. Other causes are mercury such as from fillings.
I'd take everything with meals. Unlike drugs, the olive leaf and caprylic acid won't kill the friendly bacteria.
The best to you.

Hi Clover,
Thank you for the information. I did spend the last hour finding the comments by Jen and looking through this hub for additional info. I have my appointment on Tuesday and am going to make my list of 20 questions to run by the dentist to see about what is completely involved in all of this - from any prep that I might have to do, to what the procedure will be like, to having to do 1, 2, 3 or all 4 at once, to what to expect afterwards as far as side effects or what to do to prevent any etc.... I'll post back later in the week or next weekend. Hopefully it will be some good news. Plus, I'll post any helpful info I might get from them too, which might help anyone else here.
Otherwise, all is well with the program. This is just another hurdle I need to clear.
Hi Rockin.
Good luck. Most dentists are afraid to go against the ADA heavy handed policy against removing mercury fillings. There are some who will do it, but few and far between.
Also, and this is critically important, you must find one who knows how to do it safely. Unless the doctor does it correctly, the mercury can make a person sick for a year.
It's is definitely worthwhile to have it done despite the hurdle in finding one.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
I found this office from a mercury free dental site. After my consultation, Ill post as to my impression from the visit, the info I get as well as my gut feeling about what my next steps might be. If everything sounds positive, I'll post the office I am considering, but don't want to do that until I have actually gone there.
Since my first message tonight, I have done some looking at metal detox supplements and did find the one from Nature's Sunshine to have both the Cilantro, Apple Pectin as mentioned by people here to help in removing the metal plus protecting the liver, kindneys etc.. from the spread of the mercury as it is being released. I am going to get the dentist's opinion on this, plus any other suggestions and I'll let everyone know my findings.
Have a nice night.

So the crux is kill the yeast and encourage good bacteria in the stomach. Great info.
Hi Countrywomen.
Thanks!
Don't forget patching up the holes that the overgrown yeast makes in the intestines. So long as those holes are there, it can reak havoc with one's health.
One minor additional detail, because I understand what you mean. The good bacteria resides in the intestines rather than the stomach.

You have no idea how hard I tried to loose weight or even stop craving. I used to be 98 lbs and ballooned to 160 lbs. My back is killing me, i am a diabetic at age 30. Thanks for this info and will surely try it.
Hi toniesjv,
Good for you!
Vitamin World makes a product that combines cinnamon with chromium picolinate that I really like. Others may make it, too. It even tastes good!
It's been known to normalize blood sugar levels in diabetics. Plus, it won't let the sugar drop too low! Plus, cinnamon helps fight yeast as well and even helps curb the appetite a bit.

I just recieved my PB8 and the Glutamine and upon reading the labels realize that it says not to use if you are nursing...which I am. So my question is why can't you use them when nursing...just curious and two can I start the olive leaf extract, caprylic acid and the multi-enzyme without them? I will be nursing for at least 5 more months.
Hi babydoll,
Many labels are written by lawyers. Here's how it works. There are probably no studies whatsoever of nursing mothers taking any of the products. So the lawyers, trying to prevent a nuisance lawsuit, put that caution on just about every label of every major manufactured.
That way, if you take the PB-8 and stub your toe, they'll say. "We told you not to take the PB-8."
Obviously, I can't tell you to take them, because then I'd be accused by medical boards to be practicing medicine. If it were me, I'd do a little research through Google and then make my own decisions.
The best to you.

What do you think of organic extra virgin coconut oil? I read elsewhere that this has many benefits including curing yeast.
Hi Meg,
I'm not familar with all the benefits of coconut oil. It could be quite beneficial.
Let me use your question to remind everyone that the pathology of yeast overgrowth has at least three parts.
1- Too much yeast (that has transformed into harmful forms)
2- Holes in the intesitinal lining
3- Not enough friendly bacteria.
All three need to be addressed not just one or two. Unless all three are corrected, problems will still arise:
1- too much yeast means a continual battel agains its 80 waste products including formaldehyde
2- holes result in undigested or partially digested food particles passing into the bloodstream - a very bad thing which results in allergies and auto-immune disorders along with possible PIMPLES and BLACKHEADS
3- lack of good bacteria results in sluggish bowels, bad skin and less protection of your genes (because B-vitamins, which the bacteria helps, help protect your genes.)
The best to you.

Just wanted to give an update. I'm almost done with my second bottle of Candex now, about to start a third. I still do the pro-biotics, but not the glutamine powder because I don't feel it's safe to use while nursing. Also, I ran out of enzymes a while back, and haven't had the money to replace. I very much miss the enzymes and plan on getting them as soon as I can. I have been on a pretty strict diet, and for the most part I've been good. I just have trouble staying completely away from corn and cheese. My cravings haven't completely gone away, but they aren't as bad as they used to be. My stomach still bloats from eating, because of not having the enzymes, but I know that is complicated by the celiac disease. Just this week, I got past my weight plataeu and have lost 5.5 pounds!! I'm sleeping better too and feeling better. So, things are improving for sure! I had just bought new jeans, but it doesn't look like they will fit long! I'm shrinking! YAY!
Alisha
Hi Kelley,
Thanks so much for this great post! I believe I've had a yeast overgrowth problem for some time now, and I'm excited to start the cleanse tomorrow, having just received all I need from vitacost. I have a couple questions though...
1. Will eliminating sugar and yeast from my diet it will accelerate the die-off and weight loss? I'm prepared for it to be difficult, with headaches and toxins leaving my body.
2. A diet without sugar or yeast seems pretty limited to meat, vegetables, eggs...can you suggest other things that we can eat, possibly even something sweet if we get that old craving?Thanks again for all you've done here. Can't wait to be one of the success stories!
Thanks, Alisha, for keeping us updated! I'm glad to hear that this is working for you despite having to wait before taking the glutamine.
The best to you.

Hi Pants.
Yes, you can do the program and quit sugar and yeast at the same time!
Maybe others will have some ideas on food choices so you can avoid boredom from the same old thing.
As you get success, you'll natiuraly want to eat what is good for you. That includes whole foods that contain carbs. You just won't have to "eat the whole bag." You might eat one chip, and decide, "I don't want that."
The best to you.

Thanks Kelley. If anyone has any suggestions about how to keep a sugar-free/yeast-free diet from getting boring, please post your suggestions! Any advice about what to put on a salad if dressing is off limits? Just oil?I assume we should all add yogurt to our list of things to eat regularly, to keep the yeast at bay, right?
Thanks for the encouragement Liquidfire.
Yogurt has acidophilus in it, which is good, but it also contains milk, which is counterproductive while on a candida cleanse. You want to avoid everything containing any type of milk products or dirivatives including sodium casinate, or whey (ie non-dairy creamers, butter, etc). Avoid anything containing vinegar, starchy vegetables and of course most fruit. Avoid bready products and carby things. I'll post more later!
I am living proof that this works!!! It's great to see that others are grabbing on to the truth also.
"I am living proof that this works!!! It's great to see that others are grabbing on to the truth also."

Kelley, I found your website through the link on Dr. Mercola's site, and have now spent the past hour reading all of the blogs here. I own a small health food shop in San Felipe, Baja Mexico, and plan to direct my customers to your website. I'd like to comment on how impressed I am that you share so much of your time with people who write questions and comments. You're AWESOME for doing that! One other thing that bears checking out is the herb called GYMNEMA SYLVESTRE. In Ayurvedic medicine it is called "Sugar Destroyer". Several of my customers with diabetes have had a significant lowering of their fasting sugar levels by using this supplement. It also helps with cholesterol levels. I'm definitely going to begin your program and recommend it to others. Thank you for caring!
Hi Diane.
Thank you for your kind words. Let's keep this daisy chain going!
Also, thank you for the tip on gymnema sylvestre. I've often recommended cinnamon, but not everyone tolerates cinnamon. It's great to have an alternative!
If you haven't done so, be sure to check out my hub on how I cured my Stage 4 cancer in two weeks.
The best to you.

Kelley, thanks for the info, found a previous comment about Candistroy vs. olive leaf and caprylic. Will go with olive and caprylic, extremely excited to try as I have crohns disease. Research on glutamine has been eye-opening. All crohns patients should do a quick research.

Hi Kelley,
A while back I had posted about eczema/yeast issue on my hands. I was told to get some tea tree oil instead of using the Nystatin that I had been using with good results. Well, the tea tree oil worked well until it got cold here, and then it made my hands chap - to the point where i had cracks and bleeding. So i'm back to using the Nystatin, and it's better again. I was wondering how long my yeast problem would cure internally, so that I won't have to use the Nystatin externally for my hand issue. I have been taking all the supplements, and eating well, besides some sugar in my coffee in the morning. I hope this isn't keeping me from getting over this yeast problem. Also, the coating on the tongue is still there. I feel much better, but the skin and tongue thing make me think it's not getting better. Any advice?
Tina
Hello Kelley. I've stumbled onto your website by Mercola, and I found it absolutely fascinating!
After I read your article, I put the pieces together from past events in my life(the door to yeast infection was most likely opened by my steroid medication for my asthma treatments;I grew out of it 7 years ago).
I remembered when I survived my problem by starvation, it wasn't pretty. But after 2 weeks, I lost a lot of weight without even trying, most food(even some vegetables) was unappealing and I felt so much lighter! However after some time I gained all the lost weight back.
I do plan on using this program with a few others, and seeing where it goes and I'll post my results as well.
(By the way, lugol's iodine is great if you need energy and willpower, just don't go overboard :) )
Hi Tina,
Each person gets their own individual results. Some report that the recipe started working for them almost immediately. For others it can take a couple months.
I'm really sorry to have to tell you this. Whenever someone is taking a medication, it complicates everything. The yeast medicines are particularly powerful and can interfere with a natural program.
In your case, it cleared up your hands. I can understand why you'd want to stick with the nystatin when your hands were cracked and bleeding.
My former wife had a problem with her hands in a similar way. But a doctor started giving her shots of B-12, and B-6. It would heal her hands in a day.
Today there are sublingual tablets of B-12, B-6 and folic acid. If it were me, I'd try that.
I might also try a good colloidal silver. Sometimes a person just needs something additional to get everyhting working.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, What if you don't know if you have a problem or don;t think you have a problem? My wife doesn't even look at this or any web site that has to do with health. She has cravings, salty things, chocolate and others. She is overweight. We've both taken antibiotics before. I don't think I have cravings. I have Essential Tremors & Parkinson . Any comments? Brad
Hi Justus.
If I had cravings for chocolate and other foods, I'd suspect there was a yeast overgrowth.
Parkinson's is an auto immune disorder. Almost every case of auto immune disorders is due to leaky gut which is a result of yeast overgrowth. The holes made by the yeast, allows food particles to pass through into the bloodsteam without being completely digested.
This makes the immune system go nuts. After a long enough period, the immune system starts to attack healthy tissue.
If I had an auto-immune disease, would run not walk to get what I needed to wipe out the yeast and patch those holes. Of course, I can't run even one step due to a longstanding small broken bone in my back at the L-5. I can walk, but not far or fast.
The advantage to you is that I prefer sitting, which lets me answer your questions. :-)
The best to you.

WOW. I started the candida cleanse on Saturday, and I'm already seeing results! My appetite has dropped in a major way...so much so that I virtually forgot to eat yesterday (after having just ham and eggs for brunch). Not only have my sugar cravings already subsided, I'm not craving much of anything. The hard part is limiting my diet to meats, eggs, and veggies. I'm not much of a cook, and having done a strict low-carb diet before, I recognize the fatigue and achiness that comes with that sort of diet.Here's a question: Once I finish this cleanse, which I guess will take a couple months, will my diet be able to be more varied without restarting the excess yeast problem? I'd love to have fruits and occasional breads without having to worry that I'm just re-creating the same issue. Any advice on this? One other question: How will I know for sure when I'm done with this cleanse and candida problem? Should I do the spit-in-a-glass test again in a couple months?
Thanks for your help!
I just wanted to thank you, Kelly, for putting this information up for free. I followed the plan (not even very strictly - can't always remember to take the pills, didn't always take them on an empty stomach) for about 2 months and I am reaping the benefits.
So far I have lost 10 lbs and my insatiable craving for sugar. The sugar craving has been with me since I was about 10 years old (I'm 26 now).
As I type I am looking at leftover frosting and I don't even want it. In the not so distant past, I would have scarfed it up in a second, along with the rest of the cake that is in the fridge. Last night, for my mother-in-law's birthday, I watched my family eat the cake without even a twinge in my stomach.
So once again, thank you so much. I'm sure this will make a big difference in my life. Diabetes and stroke run in my family, reducing my sugar intake will surely prolong my life.
Hi pants.
Way to go!
Here's the thing. When yeast isn't 'running' your life, you'll naturally eat what's best for you. Fruit doesn't cause yeast overgrowth...antibiotics, birth control pills, steroids and other drugs do.
So you'll be able to eat fruit and bread, if that is what you want. Obviously refined carbs aren't great for us, so I'd buy only unrefined carbs. But if you're eating out or someone offers you refined foods, you'll probably eat only a little bit.
If you find yourself wanting those things, I'd redo the program, probably for a shorter time since the yeast hasn't had much of a head start.
Isn't this cool! You're in charge now, not the yeast! And it's effortless.
I hope you'll share this hub page with your buddy list. In fact, that's an order! ;-)
The best to you.

Hi Rose,
Your comments are just so AWESOME! And a great example of how to share the details of how it's working for you.
It is amazing and perfectly NORMAL not to be attracted to sugary foods, including icing, soft drinks, donuts, icecream, sweet tea, piles of pasta, chips, etc...if yeast isn't running us. We get to be in charge...not by using will power which is hard to maintain...but by reducing the bad yeast in us.
I'd like to send your comments to the people who buy my books. They'l love it! In other words, your story will be reaching a big audience and helping them in the same way it has helped you.
The best to you.

It IS cool! And I've already shared this hub page with pals I know could benefit from it. I'm really looking forward to feeling less fatigued once I'm past the suger detox, but otherwise I'm doing well. It feels good just to know that I'm killing off the yeast that's made me a virtual slave to cravings!I guess I thought that sugary foods and bread caused the excess of yeast, so thanks for clarifying that it's antibiotics, steroids, etc. I'm not sure what the difference between refined and unrefined carbs is. Can you clarify that when you have a chance? I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering...THANKS AGAIN!!!
Hi Pants,
White flour, white bread, white rice, etc are refined. Whole wheat, brown rice, etc are unrefined.
The best to you.

Well, THANK you very much Kelley. It has been 2 months since I started the program and it is like a miracle. I now look at my belly in the mirror and smile. It looks like when I was in my early 20s. My weight is 135 now dropping from 146-150 with no diet. I do watch what I eat but this was not enough until I started your program. After the success I have with it I recommended it to many of my friends and students and provided them with your link and 2 of them already started it this week and more to join. I usually do not post any thing on the internet but I feel it is a must here in order to show my appreciation to what you did and to what you are doing.
Hi Kelley,
Do you recommend any specific type of colloidal silver? I eat red meat about 2-3 times/week, so I think I am fine with the B vitamins. I did a little research on the colloidal silver, and it says that it can kill candida yeast also. There are just so many varieties out there, that I figured I'd ask which one you recommend. Also, can it be used topically?
Thanks again!
Tina
Hi Tina.
I'm not all that much of an expert on colloidal silver, but the one I'm using now is Silver Biotics by American Biotech Labs which is pretty good. I got it at Vitamin World.
Others might have even better ones to recommend. I'd like to know which ones are really, really good.

Hi Kelley, I just finished reading the comments, took all day, but I learned a lot and will go to the store tomorrow to start the cleanse. You sound like some one I'd like to set down and talk to, but seeing how I'm in Idaho and Florida is not an option !!!! I wanted to ask about Ionizers, do you have a water ionizer and do you drink alaline water or believe in it? Also, what about PH? I thought I was embrassed to talk about my personal health problem on here, but people are interested in your answers, and they put a lot worse on here. Thanks for your time and concern. Brad
Hi Justus,
I believe we need to have a balanced pH. Most of us tend to be too acidic, but being too alkaline is just as dangerous.
Dr. Revici found that cancer patients were either too acidic or too alkaline. Although my book is entitled "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer," it actually encompasses a whole lot more.
Readers will discover why supplements that are good for so many people might be harmful to them, for example.
If a person has cancer or arthritis, for instance, certain foods and supplements can make them feel worse and accelerate their disease, while in the person sitting next to them, the same food and supplements will help to cure them.
I'm not going to go into it here. Let me just say that knowing this information can be extremely helpful. It helped me, and helped me cure myself of stage 4 cancer.
The best to you.

Also, for IM Rockin, I used some peroxide to gargle to relieve some site-specific gum inflammation. I noticed a little sore developing on the side of my gum.
When I went to the dentist two days later, the hygenist aksed if I had been gargling with hydrogen peroxide. I wanted to know how she knew. She said a little peroxide gargling is useful, but more can cause tissue sloughing in spots.
Hi Kelley, I have been reading the posts and wanted to comment on your post to Justus about being acidic or alkaline. I have been reading a lot about the alkaline diet and got the food chart for my blood type. I am a B+ and have been trying to eat according to the chart. I have been addicted to bar b qued chicken all my life...chicken is on the do not eat list...what a bummer. One day I ate it and noticed that I didnt feel good after eating chicken, about 20 min later my heart would race. I don't eat chicken any more. Since I noticed how my heart raced after eating the chicken I have payed attention to everything I eat. I can tell when I eat something not on my list, my heart pounds and I dont feel good for hours. I was wondering what you thougt of following the Blood Type Diet?
Also do you do muscle testing before taking any supplemets? I won't buy any supplement with out doing the muscle test first. It has saved me a lot of money as I know if my body needs it.
AND I LOVE THE CHI MACHINE!!!! Everyday I cant wait to get the tingle!!! Also I was wondering if you knew anything about the Electro Reflex Energizer? It says that its good for getting rid of parasites. I would appreciate any info if you know of anyone that has used this machine.
Worst part seems to be waiting for the stuff to show up in the mail. :)
Hi, ExJohnson...just wanted to offer a little reality-check. I'm in the early stages of the cleanse, and the worst part so far is the fatigue and achiness from the die-off phase. Just thought you should know that it's a little rough for a few days (hopefully that's all!) but you just have to live through that part. Yesterday was day 3 for me and I seem to be feeling better today, so hopefully that was the worst of it. Good luck to you!One other question for Kelley or anyone out there...how do I know for sure when I'm done with the cleanse and free of candida? Should I do the spit-in-a-glass test after a couple months to find out? Are there other indicators? Thanks!
Hi Liquidfire.
I don't have one, but parasites can be elimiated with the correct frequencies. So yeah, the Electro Reflex Energizer should work for that and other things.If you're running a health clinic, it would be a neat thing to offer your clients.
I have two friends who have gone to Dr. D'Adamo's father for treatment, it has worked very well for them. One of them told me that, the father and son have two different approaches to the blood type diet.
Muscle testing can be a great way to make choices if one is skilled at doing it.
The best to you.

What's the "spit in a glass test"?
Hi Terri.
Thank you for asking, Terri. You can bet there were lots of readers who want to know.
The spit in the glass test means you put a glass of water by your bed before retiring. In the morning, you spit in the glass. The you watch to see what happens. The more yeast that is in the spit, the more "strings" that'll form downward in the water.
If after an hour, there are no strings, you're free and clear, according to the screening.
The best to you.

Hello Kelley!
I am so very optimistic about this protocol and thankful to you for all of your generosity. I've been following your protocol for almost two weeks and have a couple of questions, as I have been experiencing my usual crashes that lead to big-time binges. The crashes feel like what I imagine low blood sugar to be - shakiness, extreme hunger felt in every inch of my body, irritability - and only huge amounts of food alleviate the problem, and I do not have low blood sugar when this occurs.
SO - being impatient, I started with 2 olive leaf (500mg ea) and 2 caprilyc acid (600mg ea) with 1 PB-8, 1 Essential Enzymes and 1-2 t glutamine (750mg per 1/4 t). I had only a couple of days of headaches but have bloating and, with the binges, gain back anything lost between them and more (i.e. 3-5 lbs) so I keep hovering around 140 lbs.
Would too much die-off be making this happen? It looks like most people are using caprilyc acid in 2163mg caps (so 3-4 at a time for me) - is my combo possibly out of whack? Is anyone else experiencing these issues or experimenting with doses?
Thanks SO much -
Claire
Hi Claire,
My approach is to eat stuff if I want it. AFTER the yeast is cleared out, then you naturally don't want or need stuff. Prior to that the brain is being cheated of the glucose it needs, so cravings are only natural.
Without the brain getting enough glucose, all those things you described can occur.
I wouldn't deprive myself. Remember this is an effortless recipe.
Also, yeast puts out 80 different toxins. If too many die off at once you can get a flood of those toxins in your bloodstream, which can make a person feel lousy in a lot of different ways.
I prefer taking 2 PB-8's a day rather than one. The caprylic acid I've used had 650 mgs in it...taking one a day... so 2163 mgs sound like a lot.
The good news is that you've probably killed a lot of yeast overgrowth.
Now you can go a little easier on yourself!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem, author, The Doctor Who Cures Cancer

Thank you, Kelley! I shall stay the course. Just to clarify, though, I take all of the five things at each meal, sometimes skipping them at the evening meal. It's sure is nice to hear all of this is normal. I also didn't mention that I have Hashimoto's and take T3 and T4. I'm hoping the whole system gets stronger after killing yeast and I can eliminate the T3. I'll let you know!
Thanks again for performing this invaluable service!!!

This is for I M Rockin and his question on mercury fillings.
I just finished having the silver amalgams on the left side of my mouth replaced with a ceramic/glass isomer composite; the right side was done last week. I had 6 teeth in all done, each of which had multiple fillings.
My motivation for doing so was because I tested positive for heavy metal poisoning in Mercury, Lead, Barium, Thallium, Niobium, Platinum, and Arsenic, plus halfway to being toxic in 3 others: Antimony, Aluminum, and Rubidium. When I asked my Integration Med doctor if I should have my fillings replaced, she all but told me to run to the dentist.
I also had a genetic test taken (CYP2C9) which shows I am a poor metabolizer, which means my body is unable to detoxify itself. It took me until I was 40 years old to find this out.
I don't know if my dentist was a "specialist" on removing mercury fillings or not, but he took his time and his assistant was very diligent with the water and air sucker hoses. Plus, he was very surprised when I told him I had so many metal poisonings and had absolutely no trouble whatsoever about replacing my fillings.
However, like Kelley said, many dentists want nothing to do with replacing amalgams, because they can get in trouble with the ADA if they do it, even up to losing their licenses. Right now, my dentist is doing a pre-approval to have my two crowns replaced. They were put in back in the mid to late 1980s, when the stabilizer was still a mercury compound and the crown was made out of Pallium (a source of Platinum, the metal I'm most toxic in). Now they make (or, at least my dentist uses) the crowns and stabilizers out of porcelain and zirconium.
I am currently doing drnatura's Colonix/ToxinOut program. My Integration doctor won't even let me do a yeast cleanse until I've done enough detoxing first. However, I've taken antibiotics ever since I was very young, so I know that is something I will have to do. My cravings have gone down considerably since I've been detoxing, but I've noticed they've crept back up the last couple days. Since I am on a parasite med, some of them might have died off (? not sure if Paranil will kill yeast?), but I'm sure I'll need to eradicate them and repair my gut as well.
Next I plan to help my 8-year-old daughter. She's taken the heavy metal test; we're just waiting for the results. I know she has a very, very bad case of yeast overgrowth, as she practically lived continuously on antibiotics from baby to three years (ear infections, 3 tube placements, adenoids removed; tonsils removed at age 7 and adenoids again burned out). She is big for her age, has the biggest stomach I've ever seen on a kid -- think a malnourished child from a third-world country -- and is never, ever full. The kid could eat constantly if we let her. Her favorite food is carbs. If her test comes back positive for heavy metals, I'm having her take a genetics test as well. We have had her to countless "specialists," none of whom could help her or tell us what's wrong with her. Other than an alternative medicine doctor knowing exactly what to test for first: heavy metals.
Sorry if this has rambled on, but I thought my experiences could perhaps help someone else who stumbles upon this site. And I wanted to touch upon something someone else mentioned; my Integration doctor would not allow me to have my fillings replaced unless I was already doing a detox/toxinOut program at the same time, because the mercury that escapes (and/or any of the other compounds, depending if you're allergic/sensitive to them or not) is really hard on your body. I know I didn't feel well the day the dentist replaced the amalgams, or the next day. Then I became sick this weekend with a cold (possibly vying for a sinus infection) and, even though I was sick, still opted to go through with the second half of my mouth, only because I didn't want to wait a month and a half for the next appt. I'm not sure if the mercury affects me from that one, as I have the cold on top of it.
I've done extensive research on heavy metal toxicity and silver amalgams; if anyone has any other questions, please post and I'll try to answer.
Thank you for your patience,
Garnet_Jule
Hi Claire,
You'll be excited to know that Hashimoto's is an auto-immune disease. Guess what!
Yeast overgrowth is the #1 cause of all auto-immune disorders. I've seen with my own eyes people who have followed the tummy flattening program and had their auto-immune disorder clear up.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem, author, The Doctor Who Cures Cancer

Hi Kelley -
YES - I forgot about yeast causing auto-immune diseases! I also have MANY food allergies (and eat offending foods when having 'episodes') which surely are leaky-gut-, i.e. yeast-related. Hopefully, I'll be joining your list of success stories...
Take care -
Claire
Hey Pants,
I hear you. As a crohn's patient I've spent a lot of time researching natural methods, and from what I understand about environment, digestion, auto-immune disorders, etc., this protocol seems to be the one that puts it all together. Although I certainly don't look forward to it, I'm not too intimidated by a die-off. I have latent migraines that pop up every now and then, so I'm thinking those are on the way. I'll definitely keep everyone posted, since my wife and I are both going to start it together. She for bloating, a little cute tummy, and cravings. Me for a new digestive track. We shall see.

Hello...Is Candistroy to be taken in place of Olive Leaf Ext. and Caprylic Acid?
Thanks,
Marsha
MHolland,
Candistroy is a package product that has some of the same benefits the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid have. Some people in this post have used it with success, but I'm more traditional so I'm doing Kelley's advice to do the olive leaf and caprylic acid. One person above said that as they were nursing their child the baby broke out in hives, and she attributed it to the goldenseal in the Candistroy. I've found it's cheaper to get the olive leaf, caprylic, and PB-8 than the package of Candistroy. I just started today though I'm waiting for the caprylic acid to come in the mail.
Kelley, hope I'm not stepping on your toes.

Hello Kelley
Are these products available in Australia. I am familiar with the Olive Leaf Extract, but not sure of the other products.
Thanks
Lorraine
Hi M Holland,
Yes, it would be. it seems that people are getting better results with the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid, however.
The best to you.

HI I found this site through Dr Mercola, I spent most of the day reading the messages and I didnt see anything about what to eat, I was wondering if I had to give up milk. I love milk and dont know if I could go a day with out it. I know I can give up sugar and bread. If anyone could give me some ideas as to what they eat in a typical day I would really appreciate it. I am going to get on this right away.
Hi Kandy.
The idea behind this is that you'll naturally change your eating habits once the yeast is under control. Until then, those cravings help keep your brain cells alive. Even though its not the best diet, it's better than letting those brain cells die.
It can work for almost anyone because no willpower is needed. So more people can have success instead of just a few.
The best to you.

Hi Kelly and all,
I went to the health food store today with a list of all the ingredients you listed and started the yeast cleans today.
The reason I think I have a yeast problem is about three weeks ago, I started over indulging in Halloween candy. All chocolate little candy bars various kinds. Then I broke out in a body rash from hell. Normally I don't touch the stuff, and eat mostly vegetables, fruit and a little meat. Something got into me and I ate the candy bars like there's no tomorrow. Now that Halloween is over and we got rid of all the candy, my rash is subsiding. I am in great hopes the yeast cleans will finish off the rest, because the itch is about to drive me crazy. I know it will take months to get the yeast under control, I don't expect an over night miracle but I am hoping the supliments will speed up healing process. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do Kelly, Peace, Rena.
Thanks, Rena!
Kelley Eidem
Hi Kelly, Will be doing your garlic and pepper cancer cure as a preventative and this one as well. I have alwayes craved sweets, soda, breads (I never met a carb I didnt like) so i suspect i must have a problem with yeast due to a lot of antibiotics given to me as a child with chronic earaches and sore thorats. then about two to three weeks later back to the doctor again for more antibiotics I was sick again with the same ailment. My question to you is being 49 and perimenopausal and taking bio-identical hormones (NOT SYNTHETIC) is this bad for yeast? you made reference to birth control pills and i was just wondering? thank you so much for this hub I have learned so much THANK YOU KELLEY!
Hi El Capitan,
I don't know of any connection between yeast and bio-indentical hormones. Here's the thing, yeast produces 80 toxins. We'll probably never know all the harm they can cause...would they affect hormones? My guess is they affect just about everything.
Will the bio-indentical hormones fight yeast? I'm not aware that they would. Perhaps hormones boost the immune system...it's not my area of knowledge.
The best to you.

HELLO AGAIN, SO WHY DO BIRTH CONTROL PILLS PRODUCE YEAST? THANKS KELLEY
El Capitan,
I believe that birth control pills probably kill friendly bacteria which allows the yeast to grow. So yes, a synthetic hormone does have an effect on yeast imbalance.
Synthetic drugs always have harmful effects attached to them. They either have a different structure or have added chemicals attached to them.
Picture a key to your home. If the structure was changed or an extra notch was added, your key wouldn't function. You'd be left out in the cold.
Bio-indentical hormones don't have that problem. So there's not going to be anything about it that is going to misbehave unlike the synthetic birth control pills.
Remember any patented drug that is approved by the FDA has to be synthetic or it wouldn't be patentable. Just like no one can square a circle, a synthetic drug can't do its job without being a problem in some way.
The best to you.

El Capitan, I am on BioIdentical hormones and have been having wonderful success with this program. I feel good and have lots of energy. I don't have the cravings and feel full after eating very little. I still have a white tounge but am hoping that one of these days when I wake up it will be gone for good. Best of luck to you.
Great hub Kelly! You really did your research on this one. Good job. Never stop striving to improve in your writting. That is what everyone keeps telling me so let me pass that pearl of wisdom to you.
marketingmergenow
Hmmm, great hub, useful info, seems a lot of folk need this!
Well done
Hi all, great topic!!!
One question I have: could it be possible for someone to explain WHY/HOW... killing the yeast is going to flatten the tummy..?! What is the cause, the mecanism behind this effect.... how this works towards flat tummy.
Thanks
Hi Julia.
There are at least three reasons why. For instance, yeast interferes with proper digestion and promotes bloating.
Also, when the yeast is under control, the constant desire to eat fattening foods goes away.
When a person has the proper amount of probiotics, their elimination improves greatly. That can remove five pounds or more.
The best to you.

To Rena: Hi. I am on my third month of the cleanse and actually I think I'm almost over since I passed the spit test today! Hooray..
.I wanted to tell you that I had a really bad rash all over my upper chest and it itched terribly. I did not connect it with candida. Somewhere after about two months into the cleanse I looked in the mirror and remembered that I has once had a rash. It had disappeared without saying a word....I had forgotten that I even had it. The itch is gone, too. So....good luck...I'm sure yours will go in good time.
Clover
Hi Clover, Funny you mention not getting connections, I already got another connection I wasn't aware of. I've had a sinus infection since March 2008. I will wake up every night without fail to re clear my sinuses with saline solution. Sometimes it takes hours, and talk about going to work like a zombie everyday due to lack of sleep. Well, since Saturday when I got all the stuff for yeast cleansing I have slept all night without waking up. My sinuses are clearing. I was going to report this Sunday morning but thought, lets see if it happens again, and sure enough, I slept all through Sunday night as well.
As for the rash, the cleanse is definitely working to speed up the process. I have it all over, legs, stomach, and back. It is fading, and itch is lessening thanks to Kelley and his hub, Peace, Rena.
Hi Kelley, i think the problem with the yoghurts/curds that don't work maybe because they are processed foods in the west. In India we make our own yoghurt/curd at home. So it manages to keep the tummy in order. according to ayurveda as well tummy swelling is due to the impairment of gastric fire or agni. therefore a less expensive and home cure for tummy yeast and to break down fat molecules you could also try
1. soaking trifla powder overnight in water. take this on an empty stomach first thing in the morning continuously for a few days. to make it more beneficial add a tsp of honey.
2. honey and lemon in warm water in the morning also works wonders.
3. pure guggul (Botanical name: - Commiphora mukul) about 15 grains thrice a day in hot water (horrid taste but another thing that works)
4. add pure shilajit to guggul and pound together take this twice a day
Hi Kelley! and all commenters...thank you for all the great info! I have just spent a couple of hours on this sight shaking my head in agreement so i thought i would just give you a short version of my story! i have always been a sweet junky but my biggest weakness had been ice cream for quite some time this past year and I would joke that i gave up smoking (10 yrs) but replaced it with a pint of ice cream twice a week which was even more expensive in more ways than one...so i gained weight naturally....along with that, i had an inkling that I had a yeast condition knowing how too much sugar causes havoc in the system (so much for controlling myself). I finally made a decision to get back on the health parade and joined a weight loss group in order to be more disciplined about eating properly (Not at all interested in the 'foods' they sold!) It was working nicely and then one afternoon I went to a movie and lost my mind by having 'fake' butter (a mistaken small squirt) on popcorn! Ate the whole medium serving without stop and didn't feel awful that night but didn't feel 'right'. The next morning was the start of a new beginning and commitment to proper nutrition BECAUSE I had the WORST elimination of my gut that i ever had in my life! I could not believe what i felt and saw (sorry for TMI)! This is not a short version, is it? ( - : Okay,short, i ended up with cellulitus and a possible e.coli infection, was given an antibiotic which caused a body rash from hell and because I was afraid of taking any other med decided to go to a Naturopath! Had a state of the art body scan which showed i had a systemic yeast infection, mold, fungus and parasites! OMG!!! She gave me a colonic and a regimen including a probiotic, colon cleanse, parasite cleanse, algae and barley grass! I am feeling great, a chronic infection of Blepharitis has calmed down, a probable fungus on my hand has gone away, and I am 20 lbs lighter! Now all I do is read about how to keep myself healthy with ingesting REAL food, organically raised and as local as possible....making sure the ingredients have the least amount of toxic additives, should the food be processed....I am on a roll! We sure are what we eat!!! Well, thanks for taking the time to read me! LOL Bye for Now!
Dear Kelley
Thank you for all your hard work in setting up these websites, it really has been extremely informative to read and to understand more about how our body works.
I am Mike’s son (Psoriasis) thank you for the information about the mercury, I have a few questions and if you could answer them that would be really great.
You suggested that I do the “flatten your tummy” and the removal of mercury, would it be better to do one or the other first? Also how do I tell if I need to do the mercury removal and is there a way of me finding out when I need to stop?
The Swansons website is really helpful, do you have any reccomendations on how many tablets I need to take of the Chlorella and the Apple Pectin and for how long?
Thank you for all of your time and effort

Hi Matt,
I'd do both the mercury removal and the yeast removal at the same time if it were me.
I think there are hair analysis tests that can measure the extent of any mercury. They would be the least invasive. Blood tests would be next to worthless because mercury stays in the tissue, not the blood.
I'd take 5 of the chlorella three times a day or ten twice a day (they are tiny) and one or two of the apple pectins each time with the chlorella.
The best to you.

Kelly,
I have hashimotos and many lingering symptoms. I think I will try this and see if it helps. I am a little scared that I will feel worse, but hopefully not for long. I was wondering if my children may have this also. My 2 yr old has constant ear infections and respiratory infections with alot of antibiotic use and my 6 year old has constipation problems and skin problems. The only thing is how do you treat a small child. Is there a shorter, easier method that will help children as it is hard to get them to take anything. Thanks!
Hi Mangodog.
children aren't just smaller versions of adults. Their needs are different. I'm not an expert on how you would help them, but I have a vague memory that there are products for children to help with their yeast overgrowth.
You could do a Google search and let us know what you find.
The best to you.

this is an informative page.ill go to the health shop and check on caprylic acide and olive extract myself, one of these days..
hope it could shed off some of the excess fat on my tummy..Thanks Kelly!
I finally got a minute to check back in since my last post. First, thanks to Garnet_Jule and LuLu for their information. I really appreciate how everyone in this hub is so thoughtful for one another to relate personal stories & information to help out not only myself & other posters here, but it also might just be the one final story that will help someone take that first step to help themself.
My dental appointment went GREAT. I was very impressed with everything about the office I had my consultation at the other week. The staff was friendly, courteous & professional (I think at least 5 or more people assisted with X-rays and other things in addition to my dentist). I was so impressed and comfortable, that I made my appointment to have the procedure done after my consultation.
The dentist was extremely easy to speak with about all of my concerns with the procedure. He took pictures of each of the 4 fillings and showed each of them to me on the computer screen next to my chair, so I could see exactly how the fillings had cracks through them which release the vapors and how they eventually will stress and cause the teeth to crack at which point most dentists will grind down your tooth and put on a crown. He told me that he could save all 4 of my teeth and he actually guarantees his work for life. The conditions are that I have six month cleanings/check ups and if anything happens to any of the 4 teeth he replaces the fillings with, he will repair them for free. Thats how confident he is in his work.
As for his procedures, he told me he will supply me with oxygen during the work, will have a high suction vacuum to get particles and vapor from my fillings, will use a bracket or a dam placed around my teeth, will make certain my teeth are completely cleaned out of any mercury/filling material/bacteria/infection or any other potential problems, and will have a computer aided/crafted CEREC filling put in place. He is going to do 2 of my teeth just before Thanksgiving and the other 2 teeth I will schedule to have done after this. He told me I should be fine almost immediately after leaving his office from the procedure and should not have any problems eating any foods what so ever after this. The procedure is only supposed to take about 2 hours.
When I mentioned my concern about taking a heavy metal detox supplement. he did not think I would have any problems and did not recommend me doing this.
I'll be sure to post after this and let everyone know how this goes. If everything is as positive an experience as I am anticipating, I will post the dentist's name and information about his office.
As far as my white tongue/candida problem, I have kept on very consistantly with the Olive Leaf & Caprilic acid after breakfast & dinner, and the Intestinew in the morning when I wake & just before I go to bed. I have subsided on the white tongue for now as I have read in my research online that the candida does balance out the problem of the mercury poisoning. After I have my 4 teeth redone, I plan on clearing up the tongue issue. I did get Food Grade Peroxide and distilled water and made my own 3% solution to gargle with, so I'll be ready when the time comes.
Thanks again to all for their information and comments. And good luck to everyone else who finds this hub and decides to take that first step.
Rock On!
Great Idea Kelley, I started a Digg on you since that is the only one I am a member of at the moment. It is short and to the point I think. I also mentioned your book and curing your own cancer. If this doesn't get people's attention, I don't know what well. Peace, Rena.

Hey Kelley,
I got everything in the mail finally (last package was caprylic acid, though I've been doing everything else without it). I have the pb8 and the olive leaf extract and the multienzyme. Now, a reviewer of the multienzyme said she likes to break open the capsule and sprinkle the insides on her food because she doesn't like taking pills. My question is, can this be done with the olive leaf extract and pb-8? Both are in capsule form, and I don't want to put anything in my body that doesn't have to be there. I would assume that the clear capsules have no effect on the efficacy of the product, but I wanted to hear your opinion.
All the best to you and your family.
Hi ExJohnson.
I'd keep the PB-8 in its capsule so that less of it gets destroyed by stomach acid.

Do you recommend removing mercury fillings (safely) before starting the regimen?
Hi Jan,
I've seen this program work many times without having one's mercury fillings removed. That said, I'm no fan of mercury fillings. Anyone who wants to go that route with a dentist who is set up to do that sounds excellent to me.

Now I'm worried about the mercury fillings. I just had a crown put on and it cracked so the dentist filed it down and then the problems started - he said I had a crack in my tooth and if it didn't get better, I'd have to have a root canel. Things have gotten better but if the tooth is cracked with the crown on it, does it protect it from the mercury? I have another crown he did where the tooth was cracked BEFORE the crown was put on.
Should I have a mercury test taken now (if I can find someone who does that kind of test) or wait until after the yeast is gone to see if there is a problem?
I just started the IntestiNew and Candex tonight.
Also, with the IntestiNew, it was clumpy - how do you get it to mix in the water nicely? Also, can I mix it Crystal Light?
Wow this is a popular hub! I have found that cravings go away quite queickly after I have been without the snack or anything for a while.
Also thanks for the tips on the bacteria
Hi Rachelle,
Go ahead and do a Google search on mercury testing. I believe it can be done through hair analysis.
It's the vapors from mercury fillings that can cause problems, not the pieces.
If you need to, take a fork and chop up those clumps. You want my permission to use Crystal light?? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? LOL!
It's impossible to lose weight when using artifical sweeteners. Plus, it's just almost as harmful as mercury.
The best to you.

I should know better re: Crystal Light :). I am having awful stomach cramps - so should I just take one Candex 2x's daily instead of 2 2x's? What is causing those? The Candex or the IntestiNew?
That was one of the worst nights of my life - zero sleep, stomach cramps from He**, would have won a burping contest for sure, threw up once . . . I don't dare take anything this morning as I have to go to work (new job, no sick time). Does this mean my body is so full of it or does it mean that it's something I shouldn't be taking?
Hi Rachelle,
I'm not familiar with the Candex product. It's not what I recommended in my program, although some people are getting results with it. So I do't know what types of reactions one might get with it.
It's a substitute that others have decided to use in place of the caprylic acid and the olive leaf extract. With those it is one of each taken once a day for the first couple of weeks and then increasing to two a day if one wants to.
If it were me, I'd try the lowest dose of the Candex and see what happens. If I were still having problems with it, I'd swap out to the caprylic acid and the olive leaf extract.
Also I'd be sure to drink a FULL glass of water when taking these things along with getting plenty of water throughout the day.
If anything, IntestiNew settles the digestion.
The best to you.

A friend and I went out for lunch yesterday and she got sick in the afternoon (the same symptoms I had last night) so now I'm wondering if it was something we ate. I'll try 1/2 a dose tomorrow morning. I choose Candex as someone I know recommended it - she's been taking it along with IntestiNew and this was before I found this site. Thanks Kelley.
Hey Mangodog,
I read about your question regarding children and their yeast overgrowth. I wish I had some suggestions for you but I was actually hoping you or someone out there found some information on what to do for kids.
I have a 7 year old son and he had the whole ear infection/antibiotic/ear tube cycle and absolutely will do anything for sweets. It is so difficult because he exhibits ADHD symptoms and although his teacher would love to have him on meds, I prefer to use a more natural approach as in a nonprocessed diet and other wholefood vitamins.
So with that said, I am assuming there has to be a yeast problem because of the sugar craving and past antibiotic use. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Rafflegirl,
One thing I might do is to give my child a PB-8,and see what happens. Also, a Google search would probably bring up yeast programs for children.
The best to you.

Hi,
I think I just answered my question:) I read that you said you take all the products at once.
I'm excited to do this as my holistic doctor suggested I take Primal Defense.
Do you happen to know the cheapest place to get the Primal Defense? I'm looking to save as much money as possible.
Thanks for all your help and congratulations on curing your cancer.
I cured my acne and would be happy to privately (or publicly, if you prefer) tell you of my experience.

Hi Laura,
Vitamin World has Primal Defense discounted. For me, the PB-8 which is lower in cost worked better than Primal Defense, but invidual experiences may vary.

Hello Kelley,
I have read your comments here, as well as at Mercolas site, and I must say you know your stuff, especially when it comes to candida. If you have any free time, your knowledge would benefit many at a health forum thaT I am a member of. It is www.healthiertalk.com
Thanks a million, Pinballdoctor.
I wouldn't recommend anyone with amalgam fillings to use hydrogen peroxide to gargle with or as a mouth rinse. The oxygen released causes more of the mercury to liberated inot your system. Better to gargle/rinse with diluted baking soda or a few drops of tea tree/oregano oil in some warm water. Hydrogen peroxide will irritate the mucous lining of the mouth if used to much. It can be toxic to cells esp new growth of cells and therefore no longer used to clean wounds(some of the surgeons I worked with in early '90s used to wash out the surgical site with hydrogen peroxide after the removal of a breast tumor to help kill any stray cancer cells that may have been liberated in the removal of the cancer - but I'm not sure if this is done at all anymore as no longer work in the operating room).
People still sometimes use it to loosen up old dried blood but a better way is just to cover the wound with an occlusive bandage/Bandaid and the moisture will build up underneath and soften everything up on its own for easy removal/washing off without excess trauma needing to occur. Word of caution: Do NOt use an occlusive dressing on an infected wound or it can drive the infection deeper into the tissues and obviously make it worse.
Well I haven't posted in a couple weeks as I've been busy, but I'm coming up on my second week of the cleanse. It's funny...I had been taking Tetracycline (an antibiotic) prescribed for rosacea, so as soon as I started the cleanse I stopped taking it. I didn't realize until a couple days later that I was also using an antibiotic and steroid CREAM on my face! Ugh. So, I stopped using those as well and went all out with the cleanse, giving up flour and sugar (aside from what's in veggies). After a few days of feeling achy and fatigued, I'm feeling way better! Absolutely no cravings for sugar anymore, and hardly any cravings at all for that matter. AMAZING! I have always been a sugar and carb fiend. In just about 2 weeks, my stomach is flatter, my appetite is waaaaay down, and my skin is starting to clear. Thanks so much to Kelley and everyone who has contributed their advice and stories! I will never take antibiotics again. It's shocking how easily they're handed out...and I was among the many to just take them thinking that my doctor wouldn't be handing me something harmful. NEVER AGAIN!

I started the cleanse this Tuesday and had a slight headache for a couple days, although I didn't have one today. What I really noticed was that I have been forgetting to eat. It's the strangest thing. The last two days, it would be about two, and I realized I hadn't eaten lunch! (I stay on a pretty regular schedule of eating around noon). Today I ate around 3:30 and then didn't want dinner when I came home (so I just had a small snack, figuring I should eat something). Since I really like eating :), this is quite a remarkable experience for me. I have to attribute it to this cleanse, although I don't recall reading this particular side effect.
I have IBS and started PB-8 yesterday, one before breakfast, one
before dinner. Last nite I was up all nite with terrible gas and pains.
Do you think the PB-8 caused this, and if so, when will it go away ?
Hi Nicki,
"What I really noticed was that I have been forgetting to eat. It's the strangest thing. The last two days, it would be about two, and I realized I hadn't eaten lunch! (I stay on a pretty regular schedule of eating around noon). Today I ate around 3:30..."
Isn't that a super side effect!
When our brain isn't starved, it isn't barking out orders, "Eat SOMETHING!!"
I love it!

Hi Bearmarie,
I'm sorry you went through that suffering! It's difficult for me to say from here what the cause might have been.
If it happened to me, I'd look to see if maybe I had a cleansing bowel movement today. If I did, then I'd look at the rough night as a positive. If not, I'd look for a different probiotic if it happened again. I'd only take one for the whole day.
There are liquid probiotics, if the reaction was due to the capsule producing inflammation.
There's a partially distilled Aloe Vera made by George's that can be soothing for IBS. Peppermint is another soother.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem, author, The Doctor Who Cures Cancer
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
wow, didnt expect such a prompt response ! I did have a cleansing movement
this morning, and did some research online on IBS and found PB-8 contains
inulin, which causes problems in many IBS patients, as it is an INsoluble fiber.
DAMN, I was really looking forward to trying this whole program out.
Hi Nicki, Isn't it wonderful to forget to eat? It sure beats constantly looking for something to nibble on and then never feeling full. I can eat dinner and not think about snacking before going to bed. This program is wonderful. Good luck to you!
Hi bearmarie.
I'd hold onto the PB-8. First, I'd use one of the liquid acidophilus products for a while. But as my IBS healed, especially by adding George's Aloe, peppermint oil, or even the IntestiNew, which can work wonders, things could change for the better quite dramatically.
Keep me posted.

hi, i have been trying this program for about a month now...with the exception of 1 week when i was on vacation.
so far i've only lost about 1 pound (i'm about 40 pounds overweight) but i'm going to continue it for at least another month.
i have cut out snacking and basically only eat 3 meals a day. i haven't really cut out sweets...still desire them...but have sweets as part of my meals, so i don't snack.
i will list here what i am taking....maybe you could suggest some different amounts that might work better???
when i get up every morning i take 1 PB8, 1 Intestinew and 1 Chromium Picolinate.
with breakfast 1 olive leaf extract (700mg) and 1 caprylic acid,
with lunch 1 olive leaf extract and 1 caprylic acid,
with supper 1 olive leaf extract and 1 caprylic acid,
right before bedtime 1 PB8 and 1 intestinew.
i'm not taking any digestive enzymes...should i be? i have no digestive problems.
should i be taking more of something? i plan on continuing the above program for at least another month.
thanks for your help.
Hi LJ from PA,
Wow, that's a lot of olive leaf extract and caprylic acid. Most people just take one of each at first because it can cause too much yeast die off, resulting in feeling sick.
But if I could tolerate it, then why not!
If my body is making enough enzymes, I don't take them. But, sometimes we think we don't have any digestive problems even though it's not owrking as good as it should. I would experiment with one bottle of a good MULTI enzyme to see if I didn't notice a difference.
I like Vitaman World's Super Strength Multi-Enzyme Formula because it works for me better than any other I've tried.
The best to you.

thanks Kelley,
i had to re-order a couple of things so i ordered some of the super strength digestive enzymes.
my 700mg olive leaf extrace says to take 1 cap, 3 x a day w/meals...that's why i'm taking 3 a day...the caprylic acid says to take 1 or 2 a day w/meals...but i figured if i was taking 3 of the other, i'd take 3 of them too.
haven't had any adverse affects taking any of the pills....but still can't give up the sugar...but i'll continue for a while.
giving up the snacking was huge for me...but i'm still not dropping weight....maybe in time...
thanks for the reply :)

Hi Kelley and all,
Been a few days since I reported in. Thought I would post for other's that they might learn by my mistakes.
My daughter's and I had a girls night out Tuesday night, and I thought since my rash was nearly gone, I could eat what I wanted. We went to Chinese and my rash came back pretty bad, by Wednesday morning I was covered once again. The rest of the week I kept very strict and now it is starting to subside again. I never once missed a single dose of my yeast cleanse recipe, and it might be why my rash was not as severe as it was previously.
Cravings are still strong, sure wish that part of cleanse would hurry and kick in, but hey, it's only been a week and I sure did learn a lot in this one week.
I did up my olive leaf dose by 2 a day, now taking 4. It's in tablet form, and I just don't think it is as effective as capsule, will get different kind when these run out.
The feeling of tiredness and dull headache has not changed, but hope it will subside soon. Sinuses re-clogged some, but again, not as bad as before. All in all I have dropped 3 pounds this week, at least something good is happening. I am about 20 lbs overweight. Peace, Rena.
P.S Kelley, I tried to post this link on an alternative health forum and they wouldn't even post it. Wish they would post and let other people make up their own minds.
Hey You! Yes, you.
We're coming up to Thanksgiving in about 10 days or so, so I was thinking what would be a great Thanksgiving gift that someone would be so eternally grateful for.
You know there a special feeling being able to give a stranger a gift. Picture seeing a young man or woman who is suffering from yeast issues or digestive problems.
Maybe they've got acne problems, too. For them Thanksgiving might not be so much fun because they suffer after they eat. They might 'break out' too.
You can help that person. Jusy by clicking on the "Share this" button up above between the end of the article and the start of the comments. Then click on the Stumble Upon icon.
And go ahead and "Digg" it too!
You might have to register if you haven't done so before. It's easy and doesn't take but a minute. When you do those things, a stranger can discover this community and get EFFORTLESS help for their problem.
If you don't do it, they won't find it. I'm counting on you...and so are they.

HI Kelley,
Have you heard of anyone having eye floaters from having too much yeast? I have read that before and wondered what you found in your studies. I been off and on antibiotics for years and was on birth control for 18 years. I have had two ectopic pregnancies (sometimes I wonder if the yeast could of been in my tubes, is that possible once it leaks out the holes?) I had a mexotrate chemotherapy shot last year for my last ectopic pregnancy which really lowers your immune, since then I have been on a sugar/carb/acne spree...thinking it was depression but now wondering if my candidia is just that far out of control.
I have been taking Candex and probiotics but tend to forget to take them after a week or so since I dont seem to feel a difference. There are a few days in hte last few years when i do not feel hungry between meals and think WOW what did i do different today cuz I didnt hardly think about food at all and I vaguely remember what that felt like when i was younger.
I am now 30 pounds overweight from overeating and feel so tired and miserable. I am wanting to try this routine now as well.
Hi Heather.
I can sympathize with your having trouble staying with it. For probably most people, the effect is not immediate or even gradual. It can be like a light switch when it does work. So I'd just stay with it, and stay with it some more.
Even if I didn't feel it doing anything, I'd know it was doing something important...something life changing.
Yes, it looks like candida can cause eye floaters, which isn't too surprising considering it's a major cause of sinus trouble. The sinuses and eyes are connected by tubes.
The best to you.

I just bought the products bellow but I need to know from your experience some information.
Could you please advise about the quantity, best time in a day and before/after/with meals to take all this:
1) Acid caprylic -
2) Olive leafs -
3) Probiotics -
4) Digestive enzymes -
5) Glutamine(tablets) -
Thanks
Hi Julia.
I'd take one each of the caprylic acid and the olive leaf extract per day.
I'd take two PB-8's a day.
I'd take the glutamine in water twice a day.
I'd take 'em all with meals unless you want to take the glutamine separately.
The enzymes I'd take whenever I ate. How many depends on how much I ate and how many I needed.
The best to you.

I have taken one caprylic capsule and one olive leaf extract twice a day, plus two probiotic, and 2 enzyme capsules on day one, the next day my face got hot and red and swollen, I took the same dose the next day and again the same thing happen to my face, I have stopped all products and the swelling went away, I would like to start the program, but I am afraid this will happen again, I would like to know what to do as yeast has always been a problem for me.
Hi Kelly, My brand NOW of Olive Leaf Extract does not indicate when to take or whether w/ or w/o a meal. What is the protocol for timimg? Do we take everything once in the morning, or once with our largest meal of the day? Please advise, and thank you so very much for all your help and info! LaNae
Hi Kelly, sorry what I mean is about ALL of the required supplements in this protocol--the caprylic acid, olive leaf extract, glutamine, probiotics and enzymes. What is the timing in the am, pm, with or without food, etc? Thank you for clarification. LaNae
So I went off my no-flour/no-sugar rule this weekend by eating a burger with the bun. Later in the afternoon, I'd developed that familiar rash on my chest and abdomen. I hope to one day be able to enjoy a bit of bread on occasion without that sort of reaction. Once I'm free of excess yeast and my intestines are repaired, can I expect to not react like that?
Hi Oli.
If it were me, I'd cut down to one caprylic acid ONE time a day with a meal. Then I'd add one olive leaf extract ONE time a day after a week with a meal, and then assess what happens.
If either one caused a rash again, I'd quit it and only use the other one for the time being.
I would not increase to two a day of either of them for a month.
I take enzymes when I eat to help with digestion.
The best to you.

Hi Pants.
There's no way to know unless you were to have the rash swabbed or biopsied and analyzed. I wouldn't expect you to do that necessarily. Is it candida? Is it something else, such as an allergy to an ingredient in the food?
The skin is an organ that the body uses to release toxins and waste products. So it could be that. Or it could be something else.For instance, I can't eat Grape Nuts without paying a price. So I don't eat it for years at a time.
As more yeast is killed off, then the chances of having a yeast breakout goes way down...if that is what it is.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
I just got started today.....so far so good! The only thing is that I absolutely HATE the taste of the IntestiNew. Do you think it would be okay to add some juice to it?
Thanks so much for your help!
Hi Rachelina,
That's a tough one. The makers say to mix it with water on an empty stomach. I don't know if it would work if it's mixed with juice. You could call the company and see what they have to say.
And then let us know.

Hi Pants, I don't know if this will help or not, but I am also having a rash problem. I have never had this happen to me before in my life.
About 3 years ago, I did the spit test and passed with flying colors. Now when I did the spit test, I failed really bad. Is it yeast, I think so, but as Kelley said, you would have to get a battery of test done, and still may not know.
Here is a pretty good link to explain the test if you haven't taken it yet.
http://www.adhdrelief.com/CandidaTest.html
I plan on taking the test a lot more frequent then every couple of years to gage how I am doing, Peace, Rena.
Hi Rachelina, I couldnt stand the taste of it either so I put just a bit of juice in my water and after a few days I put in less until I could take it in water it still tastes nasty but I dont have the gag problem anymore.. Hope this helps.
Thanks Liquidfire! That's the problem I was having, gagging on it. But with a little juice added, I can drink it. I will try cutting down the amount after awhile. Thanks for the tip! :)
Hi Rena61,
Thanks for that link to the spit test! I think it will help everyone figure out if candida is their issue.I just realized something the other day, after 2 1/2 weeks into the cleanse. I did a search on VitaCost.com for "caprylic acid" and one of the results was Rainbow Light's Candida Cleanse, which I bought. Now that I've looked closer, it doesn't say anywhere that it contains caprylic acid! Unless it's called something else as well, I fear I haven't been dealing with the candida like I thought I was. Here's the link to the product:http://www.vitacost.com/Rainbow-Light-Candida-Clea do you think this is okay to be taking in place of caprylic acid? I really want to do this right, and so far I've seen weight loss and stomach-flattening, but I want to be sure to get the candida under control. Thanks in advance for your help!
Sorry for the repeat postings. This link should have "nse" at the end of it. http://www.vitacost.com/Rainbow-Light-Candida-Clea
Hi pants.
It looks a like a more expensive way to help get rid of the yeast. So my guess is that it will works so long as the other supplements I suggested are used along with it.
If it doesn't work for you, I'd go back to the caprylic acid and olive leaf extract.
While it's possible to try all sorts of permutations of my program, it looks like most people are finding that the four ingredients I recommend has worked for them quite well.
Yeah, I'm a little biased. Still, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The best to you.

Ah well...live and learn. Fortunately I only purchased one bottle of that stuff, which I've been taking with olive leaf and the other stuff in your program. I'll get some caprylic acid and continue with that. Thanks again for all your help!
Hi pants.
The product you got looks like a good and will mostly likely help quite a bit.

Hi Pants,
I'm glad the link was helpful. I know before when I did the spit test, my spit stayed on top and had very little short root looking things. Now when I did the spit test, I had all three the diagram showed...the roots at the top....specks in the middle....fog at the bottom. In fact when I first spit in the glass, much of the fog went pouring down at the bottom right away. I thought oh crap this is not good. (I know to much information huh lol!!)
Just thought I would pass on the kind of caprylic acid I use, it's by Solaray and cost $11.39 at the health food store I shop at.
I do know the recipe Kelley gives is one heck of a strong cleanse, the heximer reaction is the most powerful and long lasting one I ever experienced.Peace, Rena.
Hi Kelley,
I just wanted to give you an update. I started approximately 4 weeks ago and day 3 and 4 I was really tired. I have had less energy than I usually do and I hope that will pass. When I bumped up to two pills of the candistroy and probiotic a meal I got really sick the next day but it passed. I still get cravings for chocolate and sugar but they certainly have subsided. My son said that he doens't think I could live without chocolate. It was a cute comment because I always have chocolate in the house and there isn't a day that has gone by that I do no eat some.
I have lost 2 pounds and I continue on the program.
Thank you.
Hi Stanfill,
Thank you for the update. Keep up the good work, and keep us posted

hello kelley, i have been on the program for a month now. i am not trying to lose weight as i am underweight as it is. i have had a sinus problem and cough for over a year (original mold problem in my house, then renovation to eleviate it stirred it all up in my house). i learned thru some other forums that sometimes candida can be the source of the sinus problems and this chronic cough i am experiencing. i am much better at this point in the program and plan to continue for a second month. i am wondering if excessive mucus in the throat can be created from this protocol? is it possible that the body is ridding itself of the yeast in this way? it seems to be in cycles as if the supplements are creating this reaction. it happens mostly a couple of hours after i take the olive leaf and caprylic acid. ideas? thank you!
i'm reading that people are having trouble with the "taste" of intestinew and, kelley, you mention mixing it with water. the intestinew i got is in cap form. that isn't a problem is it?
Hi the woman.
When it comes to mucus, it depends. If sinus mucus often drains to the throat, especially at night when we're asleep. So if my sinuses were getting better, I'd figure that it's loosening up and getting discharged into my throat.
If I wasn't feeling better over all, and it continued that way, then I'd suspect an allergy.
The cap form sounds good to me for those who don't want to deal with the powder.
The best to you.

Hi Thanks so much for publishing this! I was so excited when I read your article as I couldn't work out for years what was wrong with me.. why I was so bloated all the time.
I live in Bali so it was pretty hard to track down the suppliments you advise over here! - I found most of them in the end on a trip to Jakarta - I havent been able to find caprylic acid anywhere though - I did a google on it and apparently it derives from Coconut? Can I just take organic coconut oil as a substitue? I also eat home made granola every morning that I make myself that includes fresh toasted young coconut and it is also made with organic coconut oil (that is suitable for high heat) will these things help?
I am finding a difference already taking the Olive leaf and Probotics etc.. felt very toxic for the first 10 days though.. although am get better now on my 3rd week I am sure it is helping I dont feel like eating as much and the wieght is starting to come off although I am still bloated at times I am sure that will pass as long as I keep with it...
I had a colonic a couple of years ago and was terribly ill afterwards for a number of weeks - totally wiped out - the woman assisting said I had a lot of yeast but wasnt very helpful in explaining (as English was her secound language) it was very painful at the time also.. would this have been because of the yeast in my system do you think?
Thanks for your help and posting such an interesting article :)
Kelley,
I guess this is week three. My wife and I fought fatigue for about a week there, I think, and we weren't exactly sure of what may have caused it, but reading some posts above, it may have been the yeast flush. We've increased to two a day of everything.
I do have one issue. My appeptite is greatly increased right now, and this is a good thing, as I have Crohn's and was underwieght. I've been put on Remicade and Mercaptopurine which I know is an immunosuppressant. ALthough I've been doing the yeast cleanse a little longer than the Remicade, I'm now having mixed feelings about my results (which is affecting what). I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on this (braod question I know). Really, I haven't felt any reactions between the two, but just wanted to put it out there. The glutamine from what I can tell has had no negative effects on my Crohn's, as some reports I've read indicate.
ExJohnson
Hi BrigidE,
The coconut oil sounds good to me.
As for the yeast causing pain or continued problems when getting colonics, I would defer to the colon therapist. They would have much more experience with that than I would...I've received colonics, but that's all. The best to you. Kelley Eidem Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
Hi ExJohnson.
Although I can't recommend whther or not you take prescription drugs, I have a definite and total bias against them for myself.
Drugs cause all sorts of problems including blocking the absorption of vitamins and mineral that are essential to good health. So it's basically impossible to get healed of anything while taking drugs. I don't call them medicines because medicines heal and drugs do the opposite.
If I had Crohn's, I'd be following my program and I wouldn't be taking any drugs. That's me. After going though a container of glutamine...only after..., I'd probably try the IntestiNew for further healing.
The best to you.

I am in the 3 rd week and I am still taking all 4 remedies( ac. caprylic 700 mg, olive leafs 500 mg, 1 probiotics, 1 glutamine) 2 times a day. I am feeling OK...
When should I increase the dose?
Would uncooked extra virgin olive oil and coconut milk/flesh be a good substitute for olive leaf extract and caprylic acid, respectively?
Thanks,
Joe
Hi Me.
Good for you!
If I'm reading what you said correctly, you're already at an increased dosage of the recipe. Each person gets to decide for themself when they are ready to go higher than what they are already doing, based on how they feel.

Kelley Eidem

Hi Joe.
Good question!
While cocunut oil could be a nice addition, I wouldn't substitute it for the caprylic acid.
I would reduce the amount of olive oil for the simple reason that on average most people get 20 times the amount of omega-6's compared to omega-3's, whereas it's best to have a ratio of one to one. Olive oil is predominantly an omega-6.
The oil content of olive leaf extract is much lower.

Kelley, I've been on the prescribed protocol for about 2 weeks now. I've made no deliberate changes to my diet but have found that I'm having a harder time controlling my sweet cravings. It's just harder for me to say no. Is this normal? I've not strayed from the program. I take:
- 433 mg of olive leaf extract twice a day
- 1 capsule of PB8 2-3x per day
- 1 capsule candida cleanse (100 mg caprylic acid) 2x per day
- 4500 mg glutamine powder 2x a day
- 1 capsule multizyme with each meal
My spit test did not reveal much yeast - after an hour, I did not really have any noticeable strings floating down in the water although they were present at "first spit". I've never been on birth control pills and have had below average exposure to antibiotics so I guess it makes sense. But still, I do have a problematic sweet tooth.
Could I be wasting my time with this protocol or do you think that it may help with the sweet cravings over time? Thanks in advance for your insight.
Hi Jackie.
From what you describe it sounds like something else is going on. For instance high fructose corn syrup can increase a hormone called grhelin (sp?). Grhelin turns off our hunger control mechanism, and makes a person want to eat more.
Because there are so many permutations to the human experience, no one prgogram is going to work for everyone.
Meanwhile, if you want to stick with it until you use up what you have, maybe there wil be a change. That's up to you.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
Kelley, thanks for responding so quickly. I came back to add that other than increased appetite for sweets, the protocol is also causing me to itch terribly. Clearly, it's having some kind of effect on my system positive or not I cannot say. I think I will continue with the program until I run out of supplements and reassess then.
I enjoyed reading and learning from these various posts as this is valuable and important data. One comment -- The Dannon Yogurt idea -- Dannon was sued earlier this year over their claims because they not only offer nothing that other yogurts have, they actually offer far fewer health benefits than some yogurts. Any yogurt with sugar added is not going to work -- the sugar is going to counteract any benefits. I recommend plain yogurt from a health food store -- and even then I would read the labels carefully. As far as I know there are only a couple on the market without added sugar. One is Seven Stars Farm brand, the other is the newer Greek yogurt.
Hi Kelley and All,
Completed week two, and entering week three. Wow what a rough two weeks I've had. My sinus infection moved to my left side of my jaw, upper and lower, and a canker sore formed there as well. The die off was most severe and I don't know how I made it through working every day. If I had sense I should have backed off dosage, or stopped a couple of days, but like I said, if I had sense :)
Now for the upside, I think I am over the worst of it, although I know herxheimer reactions runs in cycles, they usually get less severe and less frequent as time goes by, because I am feeling much better.
My rash is only a shadow now, which I'm sure my husband is grateful for because I am asking him to scratch my back less and less. Sinus infection is still there but also much better, I am sleeping at least 5 hours straight now before I re-clog and wake up. Sure is much better than the 2 hours I was getting.
I haven't lost anymore weight but I will take the 3 pounds I did lose, and who knows I might just lose more in time. The cravings are still there and only will power and the memory of such a severe body rash is keeping me from over indulging.
One more thing I noticed when I clipped my toenails, I have toenail fungus on 2 toes on my right foot, I want to see if after the two months or so this well clear up.
Even though I get kind of graphic I am going to get graphic some more. I noticed my bowels are improving. I noticed the elimination is much fuller and more solid than I was getting.
Thanks for reading, Peace, Rena
Kelley,
Congrats on all the great results people are having in the posts. Quick question for you. I wanted to do a double whammy and start your habenero garlic "cleanse" ( I know it's not a cleanse per se) and the issue that intrigued me was the evening oil (cod or primrose). Since I have Crohn's I would assume it's catabolic, so does that mean the evening primrose oil would be better than cod liver? You had mentioned on Dr. Mercola's site that Vitamin D supplementation is a catabolic function, so it could make some conditions worse, etc. Just wantd to know your thoughts on it. Thanks for all the hard work.
ExJohnson
Hi, thank you for writing such a wonderful article. I learned a lot about yeast, sugar, and the brain.
Kelley, could you tell me what other results people have had besides losing a few pounds and cutting down cravings? How do you know if you have used the intestinew long enough to repair the holes? Thanks!
Thanks, Rena, for your great updates!
It sounds like you've been fighting a big army of yeast and winning...finally! Keep up the good work.
I might add some MSM, perhaps 1,000 to 5,000 mgs a day (each person is very individual with this...I get a headache if I take too much.) Lots of people like it for the help it provides with sinus trouble. After a few days or longer, they will often have a massive bowel movement...how cool is that!! That's go to be a couple pounds right there! ;-)

Hi ExJohnson.
I really would stick with the yeast recipe, and would take the IntestiNew for at least a month before starting my pepper recipe if I had Crohn's. That InstestiNew can be a miracle worker. I might take the evening primrose oil while doing it, while temporarily avoiding the fish oil.
Then when I went to my pepper recipe, I'd skip the garlic for a while. Hot peppers are well known to help heal ulcers, which Crohn's is.
If I didn't heal up as expected, I'd look at the possibility of mercury toxicity, such as can occur from 'silver' dental fillings. In that case, I'd take Kyoto or Sun Chlorella along with apple pectin, to flush out the mercury. This could take several months.
The best to you.

Hi Heather,
I've seen this recipe rerverse fibromyalgia, a really bad case of burning "Geographic tongue," fatigue, etc.
It will also stop any type of auto-immune disorder. There are about 100 of those. When people get a yeast overgrowth, it can lead to depression. Depression is actually one of the biggest determiners of life expectancy.
Depression can shorten life expectancy an average of 7 to 14 years, making it comparable to smoking.
Yeast overgrowth and leaky gut causes most of the acne problems that teens suffer with. Imagine how a teen's life experience would be if their skin is healthy instead of red with pimples.
Yeast overgrowth is highly associated with both diabetes and cancer. With diabetes increasing 90% in the last 10 years, and probably being the most expensive chronic diseases there is to treat, its highly important that we spread the word on how to stop it in its tracks.
Yeast overgrowth also contributes to obesity...obesity leads to all manner of disease and to premature death.
Stopping yeast overgrowth and the leaky gut that goes with it might reduce disease more than any other single action we could take...all for the cost of about $60, maybe $100 for bad cases.
The best to you.

Thank you Kelley:) So I am assuming that the holes in the intestine may be the reason behind my acne and why I feel like a truck has ran over me after I eat sometimes. I feel so fatigued after I eat, I would assume from the yeast releasing their toxins? Do you think one bottle of intestinew would be enough then? Wondering how I would feel different from that single product and how i know I might be healed and can stop taking it? Thank you!
Hi Heather.
You will have to decide from your own experience and the way you feel as to how many containers of IntestiNew you feel you need.
Intestinew is only one element of my recipe. I would not skip any of them because each one is a necessary part. Using only three out of the four almost guarantees failure...which means continued skin problems.
The best to you.

Hi Heather, my container of intestinew lasted me exactly 2 weeks taken 2X a day.

Hi
I decided to go through this cleans a year ago. I just was going through other cleanses before this one as recomended by Kevin Trudeau.
So two weeks ago I had all the pills and started.
Every morning:
- 1 capsule of olive leaf extract 500mg (by NSI manufacturer)
- 2 capsules of IntestiNew
- 1 capsule of PB8
- 1 capsule of Enzymes 500mg
- 2 capsules of Candida Clear 2x200mg (400mg) (by NSI manufacturer)
- chlorella
- apple pectin
Every evening:
- 1 capsule of olive leaf extract 500mg (by NSI manufacturer)
- 1 capsules of IntestiNew
- 1 capsule of PB8
- 1 capsule of Enzymes 500mg
- 2 capsules of Candida Clear 2x200mg (400mg) (by NSI manufacturer)
- chlorella
- apple pectin
I did a spit test 4 days ago and I saw the "legs" within minutes and the whole spit went down the glass within 15 minutes
my tongue is white and mouth very dry each morning
I stopped craving for sweet on the 6th day of treatment and today is the 15th day of treatment
Unfortunately my tummy has not started to shrink yet. When am I supposed to see my belly shrinking and maybe I should add something to my treatment.

Hi Rena61,
I wanted to mention something to you since you mentioned nail fungus. I've battled with it on and off for a few years now, as well as some dry, itchy patches of skin that are symptomatic of fungal infection according to my ex-dermatologist (who prescribed an antibiotic cream for it...UGH!). About a week ago I picked up some Colloidal Silver at my local natural remedies shop (paid double what they charge for it at vitacost.com (http://www.vitacost.com/Trace-Minerals-Colloidal-S I take a tablespoonful 3 times a day, and I'm AMAZED at how well it works! It's visibly getting rid of that stubborn nail fungus already, and the itchy dry stuff is also slowly drying up, flaking off, and starting to look like normal skin again! I'm a believer in colloidal silver now!
Hi wmikolaj,
Good for you for getting on the recipe! Let's see if I can help.
First, the program takes different lengths of time for different people, For some it's been working really quickly while for others it can take a couple months.
My recipe includes caprylic acid. Maybe there is some in the Candida Clear. I'm not familiar with the product. I'd replace it with caprylic acid when I ran out of the Candida Clear.
It seems that a lot of people are taking a double dose of the olive leaf and caprylic acid. If you can handle it, that's fine. The double doses are likely to kill the yeast faster with the downside that there can be discomfort involved.
Generally, I would only take only one of the olive leaf and the caprylic acid each day for the first couple weeks. Yes, it might take longer, but it's less likely to produce dry mouth, headaches, etc.
The best to you.

Thank you for rapid reply.
Yes Candida Clear has Caprylic Acid - each capsule 200mg.
So I am taking 400mg of caprylic acid in the morning and 400mg in the evening. And Olive Leaf Extract 500mg in the morning and 500mg in the evening. I don't care if my mouth is dry or headaches. I just want to push as much as possible. So should I increase either Olive Leaf extract or Caprylic Acid extract?
Thank you for you attencion to my case.
Hi wm,
How fast you go is up to you. I wouldn't go any faster because the spped you describe is like having your foot pressed to the floor.
We can have a lot of yeast in us, pounds of it. When it dies, it expells formaldehyde and 80 other toxins. If too much is killed at once, who knows if it would cause too much harm for us.
In almost every case of an adult having too much yeast, it's been growing for YEARS! One becomes two, and two become four and so on. So I like taking my time...I mean if it takes us two months to get rid of 10 or 20 years of yeast, that's a pretty good achievement.
The best to you.

Hi Pants
This is the bottle I have in my cupboard, doesn't have an expiration date on it, had it a while do you think it would be okay to use? Peace, Rena.
Hi Rena61...boy, I really have no idea about the expiration of colloidal silver. Maybe Kelley has some insight into that, or the manufacturers website. Sorry I don't know more. You might get some fresh stuff just to be on the safe side. Good luck beating that fungus!
Hi Pants,
Thanks for all your help. I checked the site and it said the shelf life is infinite, so no expiration date is needed. However, I am already guilty of contaminating the bottle because it said do not use anything such as a Q-tip or any object dipped directly from the bottle. Guess what I did :(
Peace, Rena.
Hi Kelley, Well, I just got my ionizer hooked up, I'm disappointed in the acid water. What I wanted to ask you is if it will effect the Caprylic acid, not drinking the acid water of course, but the alkaline water? Will it effect the protocol at all?
I've lost weight, but I don't think it has come off my tummy and I've got man boobs, not good at 65.
As you said, each one is an individual and what works for one won't work for another. Thanks Brad
Hi Kelley,
I am a 56 year old woman, with a heavy antibiotic history (8-12 prescriptions per year). The yeast has been having a field day in me for years. I broke the antibiotic history 15 months ago by taking 1000 mg odorless garlic at bedtime.
I am 16 days into your recipe and would like to share my experiences. For the first 7 days I took one each of the recipe except for the enzyme I take when I eat. On day 8 I started taking 2 of everything. That is where I am at right now. I have to treat the die off symptoms when I am working but am ok at home. I work in the fast paced, short handed retail world.
On day 3 I was at work and started to have burning in the stomach. I took pepto bismol and it helped with the burning though it didn't take it completely away. I had the same thing happen on day 4. On day 15 I had mild burning in the stomach. I have had more headaches than normal but most of them aren't severe, just nagging.
My appetite hasn't changed yet, nor have the midnight cravings.
I used to wash my hair almost every day because my scalp would get so tender if I didn't. I recently noticed the tenderness has lightened up alot.
I have a back scratcher and would gouge my back with it because the itching was so intense. That has also lightened up alot.
The other day my daughter asked if I am losing weight (much needed). According to the scale I have not lost even a pound but I have noticed my clothes aren't quite as snug. She also said "Mom, you are different, its like you're in a much better mood."
I realize it took me 56 years to get where I am and it's not going to go away over night. Neither is the excess weight. If it takes 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, I will keep going forward.
My son is 90 % raw food diet and he has been after me to do something. I felt what he did would be too drastic for me. I found your link on Dr. Mercola's site and after reading your words then getting into the blogs, I thought "this is something I can do. It is not drastic". I have read your entire website 4 times. This is amazing. Thank You so much for everything you do to help people like me.
Hi Justus,
I'm not sure that the alkaline water would affect the caprylic acid because it's a fatty acid and is absorbed in the intestines. For the short term the alkaline water might make you feel better. It's not something I would do long term. I would use alkaline foods, particularly lipids such as fish oil to balance my pH.
As men and women get older they produce less testosterone. There is a product called DIM (di indole methane) that helps replace the missing testosterone. I've started taking it when I remember to (I rearranged my supplement baskets, and it's in the wrong basket, so it usually gets skipped.)
But even with that, it appears to be working. If I had man boobs or a loss of sexual desire (men and women), this can often be of great help. Testosterone is also a fat burner, so if one is low, it's harder to shed weight.
The best to you.

Hi Linder,
Congratulations on your early success! Yes, it sounds like you've got a lot of anti-biotic history to clear up...and you're getting so many improvements!
I'd check to see how much Betaine Hydrochloride was in my multi-enzyme. Some people need a lot of that and others don't. It can cause burning in those that don't need so much. So that is one possibility.
The best to you.

Just want to say Kelley what a wonderful hub you have provided for people to educate themselves. Its just fabulous - and the cancer one too!!
I have just finished reading the entire page of comments WOW!! I feel as if I know everyone intimately, Hi Folks!! I do have a large tummy, and have had for some years, I have recently (last 3 months) joined a gym and do at least 1 hour exercise 5 times each week which does little to reduce this tum, I take Krill Oil, Milk Thisle and coQ10 each day, I will try the spit test tomorrow morning, but suspect that I don't have the candida. Can anybody say what the candida symptoms are? I have had a curious itching of my arms from time to time and notice other people have experienced itching although this is not bugging me during the last month or so, but when it does its horrid. If candida proves not to be the case can anyone shed any light on how to reduce a big tummy?
Many Blessings
H.E.
Hi Lellie,
Thank you for your noticing!
Here's a list of candida symptoms pulled from just one website.
•Oral Thrush •Diarrhea •Recurrent sinus infections •Intestinal gas-bloating •White Tongue •Acid Reflux •Sexual dysfunction •Suicidal depression •Arthritis •Autism •Chronic hives •Fatigue •Irritability •PMS •Digestive disorders •Muscle pain •Short attention span •Headaches •Brain Fog •Visual blurring •Sensitivity to light •eye pain •Vaginitis •Skin problems •Mood swings• Impotence •Hyperactivity •Depression •Hypoglycemia •Menstrual issues •Concentration difficulties •short term memory loss •Painful joints •Urinary disorders •Respiratory distress •Food and environmental allergies •Learning difficulties •Itching, red eyes •Anal itching •Fungus on the finger or toe-nails •Chronic sinus drainage •Difficulty Swallowing • Allergies • Leaky Gut Syndrome
Having those symptoms don't mean you have yeast overgrowth which makes it harder to identify sometimes.
My recipe is pretty low risk...at least it didn't kill me. ;-)
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, Just wanted to tell you that I got the ERE machine today and did 5 minutes on it. Talk about tingle...WOW!!! When I talked to the company the lady I talked to said that the ERE is wonderful for helping get rid of parasites and yeast. I will keep you posted on my progress.
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
Hi Liquidfire,
That's very cool!
Kelley Eidem
I am interested in starting this anti-yeast program. I have one question, though. I am lactose intolerant, and am reluctant to take any milk based probiotics. Can anyone recommend a probiotic that is not milk based?
Thanks!
Hi Kelley and Everyone! I am into my fourth month of this protocol, using cap. acid and olive leaf, etc. I've been seeing a naturopath monthly who has monitored my progress and recommended dosages from doing muscle testing. I was up to 4 cap acid/day on my third month and passed the spit test so she reduced that to 1/day (plus all the other stuff still) and that feels right to me.
I did have a little relapse when I boosted my vitamin intake, including B's as I was feeling weak. This gave me a good appetite and I felt much better but may have overdone the fruit as I failed the spit test for a little while. I upped the cap acid and again passed the test. I lost about five lbs when I was really focusing on not eating bad stuff, but that's when I got weak so I figured I'd rather feel good than bad and put most of the weight back on. I'm on a walking program and have noticed that when I miss the walks I put a pound or so back on very quickly.
Anyway...I am feeling very good now and I really encourage everyone to stick with the program. i am wondering how long I should stay on the L-glutamine, though. How do you know when you don't have leaky gut? I was never aware of it but have had an immune system weakness for quite a while so maybe that was the cause? I will not be seeing the naturopath again for quite a while due to budget cutting so I'm on my own now in terms of my maintenance program.
My other question is about toenail fungus. I've had it on two toes for a long time. I noticed that Pants has beat it by taking colloidal silver internally. Thanks for sharing, Pants! Kelley, is it ok to take this while still continuing on the anti-candida regime? I feel I still have some yeast somewhere as my sinus has been draining. It is much better, though. Also my tummy is far from flat! When does that flattening happen? I am not really heavy but I would like to get rid of the tummy. Does it mean that there is still candida in the gut somewhere, even though I pass the spit test?
I tried Vicks Vapo rub on my toenail fungus and covered it with bandaids at night and ohboy the fungus loved it! Or maybe it was the moisture....The fungus grew about five times in the few days I did it. So.....I don't recommend that! i was going to try applying oregano oil which I've heard is good. But if the colloidal silver is ok to take, I'll go with that. Do you know if you can apply it topically for you have to take it internally. Somehow I'm reluctant to take any more things internally, now that I'm feeling pretty good. I also read that iodine will kill a lot of things so perhaps that could work on toenail fungus? Does anyone know about that?
Thanks, Kelley for All of Your Patient wonderful work here! I count you as one of my blessings this Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all and stay away from the pecan pie!
Hi Clover,
I'm glad to hear you're having so much success.
If the weight isn't coming off or the tummy flattening isn't occurring the way I'd like, I'd look into either a colon cleanse or a parasite cleanse. I'd look into which one might fit my situation better and go from there.
I'm partial to the colloidal silver as one way to boost the fungal killing. MSM is another nice booster for killing yeast.
I would think that a couple months would be all I needed for the glutamine.
I'm going to be a bad boy tomorrow. I'm going out to eat...it'll probably shorten my life by at least a week.
Then it's back to the hot pepper toddies on Friday.
But for those of you who are able to eat healthy tomorrow, a big WAY TO GO goes out to all of you!
The best to you.

My husband wants to try your method because he struggles with his weight a lot. However my question to you is that he takes anti seizure medication (Dilantin). Would it be safe for him to take the Olive leaf extract and Caprylic Acid. The Caprylic Acid complex I can find online has other natural ingrediants like the following:
Pau d'Arco (bark) 150 mg * Garlic (bulb) 100 mg * Grapefruit Pulp Powder 100 mg * Papain 100 mg *
Golden Seal Root
Would this be something that would be safe for him?
Also I have 5 year old twins boy and girl. My daughter seems to have IBS or colitis. Both my children even though have always had organic life style with Homeopathic living seems to have low immune systems. Their cough and allergies just doesn't seem to leave. They probably have had antibiotics no more than twice or three times in their lives due to severe emergencies however always accompanied by high doses of friendly bacteria. Can i get them started on this routine also and what would be their doses? I'm really concerned about my daughter. She is quite heavy, wants to eat all the time and can't empty her bowls properly. She also complains about stomach aches occasionally.
Please advise
Thanks a lot and Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Zahavah2008
Garden of Life has a plant based probiotic called Primal Defence which is very good. I am also lactose intolerant and have no problem with taking the PB8, but we are all different, and it might bother you.
Kelley, since I keep up with your other hubs, and noticed on the cancer site, Mike asked something about a news letter you give to those who bought your book. Well as you know I had my husband buy your book for me as a Christmas present (and I know it's in the house now ;~) can I still get the news letter too? Peace, Rena
Hi Famsheikh,
You should be able to find caprylic acid by itself.
And then ask your pharmacist about any contraindications regarding the drug and the recipe. Pharmacists usually have much greater access to information on questions like that than the doctor does.
If I had five-year-old children, I'd start them on one PB-8 a day by itself. Then after a week I might add one caprylic acid a day. Also, I'd check at the local health food stores to see if they had a candida program for children and do that instead of the PB-8 or the caprylic acid.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, can you tell me if once the yeast starts dieing off,,, do you start feeling like VERY full alot quicker? Since now your brain is in charge? I am starting to notice I cannot even finish my plate like I used to, before I could just keep on eating, no matter if I felt fullish or not, I just craved more and more. Now I couldnt even finish one plate without this wierd full feeling, as if I take another bite it would burst my stomach. I think I might kind of remember this from when i was younger, that I couldnt even finish a cheeseburger, I look back a those times and think..what? Now I could easily eat two and still be not satisfied. HOPING and praying this is starting to work already!!!
Hi Rena,
Hmm, I'm shocked! You're asking me to squeal on Santa. I might end up with switches in my stocking if I did that.
Here's what I can do. Shoot me an email at awthr awthr @ yahoo. com (with no spaces) with your husband's first and last name and the order number (if you have it), and maybe sometime around Chrstmas day or the day after, you'll be asked to opt in to the newsletter AND you'll get an email from me with a link to the bonuses.
Be sure to put my name "Kelley" in your subject line to me, to ensure my opening the email.
Meanwhile, don't try to pull any more tricks on Santa's helper, ok? ;-)

Hi Heather,
How exciting is that! You must tell your friends and email your buddies with a link to this page. :-)
Now it's just a matter of breaking old habits. Take a chance by stopping eating and see how you do until the next meal.
I'm assuming that by full you don't mean a bloated feeling, but an "I'm done" feeling. If I had any bloating or gas, I'd be sure to take some multi-enzymes when I ate.
I take Vitamin World's Super Strength multi enzymes. They work the best for me. But each person is different, so it can be a matter of experimentation.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

No,not the bloated feeling but the "I cannot possibly fit in another bite", like my stomach is full, my brain is full, everything is full. I am wondering if the yeast just tells you, NO keep eating no matter what, we are hungry!
Hi Heather,
Yup!
Let me repeat your comment:
"No,not the bloated feeling but the "I cannot possibly fit in another bite", like my stomach is full, my brain is full, everything is full. I am wondering if the yeast just tells you, NO keep eating no matter what, we are hungry!"
The way I look at it, too much yeast prevents our brain from getting enough glucose, so it's our brain that screams, "I'm dyin' up here! Get me glucose...NOW!"
When we've gotten the yeast back under control, normal eating provides plenty of glucose for your brain. There's also the possible factor that the yeast and all its 80 'poop' products interfere with the hypothalamus and thyroid that help to control our hunger levels.
One of the 80 poisons candida releases is formaldehyde! That's the stuff used to pickle brains.
Picture the millions of children, young adults, middle aged adults, the elderly...everybody...who are walking around not quite with it mentally because their body is constantly spitting into their bloodstream or their organs, tiny amount of formaldehyde!
That is what is going on in the US and other places where antibiotics are being used.
A hundred years ago it wasn't uncommon for someone to be able to recite long passages from a speech they had heard. How many people can do that today?
There were reporters who heard President Lincoln deliver the Gettysburg Address ONE time with no recorders and they were able to write it down word for word. That is our natural brain power. But very few people have it anymore.
I submit that we can't do it in large part because our brains have been partially pickled.
Today's children will have it worse than a generation or two generations ago, as they grow older.
If we spread the word, we can help to stop this slow but inexorable march to widespread mental incapacity.
You've seen first hand how it can drive you to eat too much. It's real. And it's widespread. More people might have it than don't have it. Today one out of every three children in the US is either obese or overweight. When I was in school, I was usually the only fat kid in class. There might have been two or three, as I climbed in the grades.
I hope everyone reads this response. It's important. If you're moved to, copy and paste it and email it to your buddy list.
The best to you.

Thank you Kelley! I know I have it, eye floaters, excessive cravings, major bloating after eating, years of antibiotics, years of drinking beer, YEARs on birth control, etc etc. I think there were weeks I had it more under control for some reason, maybe ate less sugar or something..but I would feel the difference in my body, I would think what did i do different this week or day that made me not feel so hungry or those cravings but could never pinpoint as to what was different.
I am also really thinking this might have something to do with my ectopic pregnancies, maybe I am wrong but I have read how yeast can reak havoc on the body if leaked out of the gut. I just read that someone that had a heart attack with no know risk factors was found to have candida all wrapped around her heart, have you heard things like this before? Makes me believe it could of nestled in and around my fallopian tubes too if this was the case, preventing the egg from getting through? I am assuming once you heal up the holes in the gut, then the candida that might be anywhere else in your body, outside of the intestines, will die soon enough from not being fed or how does that work? Thanks!
Hi, kelley I need some advise I been having some yeast issues for quite a long time, I got the Candistroy today can you please tell what else I need to get and how to take them. I would truly appreciated.
Hi Ocean 7,
My recipe includes PB-8, two a day, and Glutamine powder, two scoops a day or IntestiNew in place of the glutamine.
I now prefer olive leaf extract and caprylic acid instead of Candistroy. It seems to be even more effective. I'd also drink at least 8 glasses of water each day.
I'd follow the instructions on each product.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
thanks for replying so quick, So I still take the candistroy since I already purchase it. is there any specific namebrand use for these products :olive extract and caprylic acid PB-8, and Glutamine powderand about how many mg they should be and how long does it take fro the yeast to die off. thanks again by the way
Hi Ocean.
I use Vitamin World brand, but others have succeeded with other brands. I'd follow the instructions on the labels if I had any doubt.
Some people get results real quick, within days while for others it has taken a couple months. Yes, I'd use the Candistroy up.
The best to you.

Greetings
I am very grateful for the information you supply through your articles and the responses to your readers. Its probably time for me to address the ol' candida issue again. Sigh. I say this because I have tried before, in my life, to get rid of it, but I could absolutely not handle the die-off phase, and so I would give up. In the die off phase I would just become a totally different person -- irritable, testy, angry, hateful ... I wouldn't even be able to recognize -- or control -- myself. I cannot afford this kind of dramatic mood shift -- the responsibilities in my life are too great. Do you have any suggestions for how I might supplement or alter your 'basic recipe' so that I don't get into die-off so instensely that I need to stop? I'm 56 and although I have no weight problem, my degree of sugar / carb craving is far too out of hand and I feel that these are my last years to take charge and improve my chances for a healthy and long life. Thank you so much for your wisdom and support.
To get rid of the yeast, get your Ph level up to 7 or above (take Himalayan sole or salt each morning in a glass of water, or lemon juice, eat alkaline foods (lists can be found on the internet), avoid acidic foods like bread, sugar, meat and alcohol), take Pau d'arco, use xylitol as a sweetener- it kills yeast. I eat children's vitamins all day long which are sweetened with xylitol for this purpose.
Hi Mira,
I like Christine's recommendations. As you probably know xylitol is just like sugar in the way it looks and tastes...so much so that the yeast eats it and dies!
I'd still want to do the rest of my recipe because the leaky gut and the friendly bacteria issues need to be fixed.
Also, I'd probably start out just with the PB-8 for a week, adding the only glutamine to the recipe, then add only the caprylic acid at one a day, and then add the olive leaf at one a day.
Meanwhile, I'd be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water. If I had any symptoms I didn't like, I'd drink an extra glass of water and stop the latest addition of the recipe for a day.
One other thing I'd look at is whether I might have a mercury problem, including fillings. As has been pointed out in responses several months ago, yeast actually tries to neutralize mercury. It doesn't do a very good job, however, so I'd want to get rid of both.
Heavy metals can affect a person's mood...big time!
The combination of either Sun or Kyoto brand chlorella along with apple pectin is how I would go about getting rid of any mercury I had.
It may take some time, but you're right about wanting to take care of this once and for all.
The best to you.

I went to my local health food store and the person who gives advice there said that you could not get rid of candida, unless you followed a diet of only protein and vegetables. No grain no sugar and no fruit, for 6 months. Do you need to do this, or can I still have fruit and some sugar?
He also said that you need a stronger anti fungal, like oil of oregano or garlic, rather than caprylic acid and that you should not take Intesti new unless you had problems like Crohn's disease or irritable bowel syndrom.
Should I skip the Intesti-new, since I do not have serious bowel problems?
I would appreciate your response to his objections.
Thank you.
Henriette.
Hi Henrietta,
Rather than my responding to his many opinions, let me invite you to read the many responses here.
Then you can make your own decision.
I do believe it works, and it looks like it has been working for quite a few visitors here. The most dramatic case I saw with my own eyes was a woman who had advanced "geographic tongue." Her tongue was burning 24/7. She had suffered with it for 14 years.
She took a hold of my arm in desperation wanting to be sure this would work because she had been disappointed so many times before.
The poor woman was literally shaking. She could not walk away from her yeast damaged tongue. Picture the pain of a sore on your tongue and then imagine your whole tongue was burning.
No doctor had been able to help her although she had been to many. In fact, some made it worse by prescribing antibiotics.
She did not go on a special diet. I think that is counter productive for those whose lives are being overrun with yeast. They can't help themselves because their brain is crying out for glucose.
She started on my recipe, and returned to the store 2 months later. Her tongue was 98% healed. She was no longer jittery. She was a different woman. She hugged me. It brought a tear to our eyes.
She returned again about a month or two later. Her tongue was perfect. She was calm and happy. No more shaking.
One doesn't need to have serious intestinal problems to benefit from IntestiNew.
The best to you.

what's Himalayan sole ? christine and can you buy at vitamint world.
I'm glad that I found this website, because I though I was the only one with this issues. Thanks to Kelley and everyone else for their advise and support that they give it really makes a difference. Im so excited to start this program ,Im tired of going to the doctor I hope this really works.
I'd like to try this. I'm rather new at the supplement names, but I'm sure I'll figure it all out. I noticed while reading the label on coconut oil, which I eat, that one Tablespoon has a gram of caprylic acid. It has antifungal properties (the oil). I'm glad I found this hub. I also passed info on about the how you healed your cancer hub to my Aunt who was recently diagnosed. Renee
Welcome Ocean and Renee! Thanks for the tip about coconut oil. And the best to your aunt.

I've always had trouble swallowing pills.....but have gotten much better at it. I had purchased some coconut oil gelcaps a few months ago and they are just too large for me. When shopping around for the caprylic acid, I noticed that they too are rather large. I don't think I can do it. I don't want a powder or liquid alternative, but I would like something more manageable to swallow. I don't mind taking two (to get the equivalent amt) but I just can't swallow horse pills.
(yes, I'm aware that I probably swallow chunks of food much bigger than that and it's primarily psychological.....but........)
Thanks for a great hub, Kelley!
Thank you so much Christine and Kelley. It is very supportive to get a personal response! Christine, for years I've been taking STevia as my sugar substitute. Unfortunately, thats never helped to lower my cravings in general. However, I will definitely try xylitol, for its extra benefit of actually killing off the thing that is certainly at the root of the cravings.
Kelly: I really appreciate the line by line description of how to work with your 'recipe'. I will follow that, definitely. Re: mecury fillings. It has always seemed like such a nightmare to me.. with no one really knowing how to do it safely -- so that mecury 'leakage' doesn't occur during the process, etc. Re: taking Chlorella, etc, for existing mercury in the body -- wouldn't that create more 'die-off' reaction? Meaning, if I ever have the courage to take it up, shouldn't it wait until after some of the yeast thing is settled? AGain, many thanks, Mira
Hi KCC,
And thank you!
The fear and panic feeling from swallowing pills is real, so I wouldn't put you down for it. Also a woman has smaller esophagus than does a man.
Here is one thing that can help some people. There's a tendency when swallowing pills to keep the jaw open. When it's open it tends to close the throat. So you might try focusing on lightly biting down so that your jaw is closed. That can open the throat.
As Renee pointed out just above, coconut oil has 1,000 mgs of caprylic acid per tablespoon. I buy it in a canister. It has a faint coconut taste.
IntestiNew comes in a powder and in capsules. PB-8 comes in capsules as does olive leaf extract. I've found that capsules can be easier to swallow than tablets.
It depends on what your priorities are. If a person is averse to everything in the recipe, they could go on a sugar free diet in all its forms for six months.
It really isn't hard to mix a powder and drink it for a month or two. As I recall, the IntestiNew doesn't taste bad.
The best to you.

Hi Mira,
I'm not sure that the chlorella would increase the die off of the yeast. The idea is that the yeast helps to minimize the bad effects of any mercury that might be causing problems.
So as the yeast gets eliminated, the mercury badness might kick up.
Notice that I keep saying "might." Knowing about the chlorella and apple pectin are tools for our toolbox for achieving victory over what might be ailing us.
These are just more options. If I kept having severe reactions when I attempted to eliminate my yeast, I would want to explore combining it with the chlorella and apple pectin.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Has anyone ever heard of having a bad reaction to vitamins? I get the same kind of reaction that "Mira" gets when she has the die off effect but when I take vitamins. I've always had a strong suspicion that it was Mercury causing it. When I take vitamins/minerals, I get angry, irritable, depressed and I swear I can taste metal in my mouth. Just wondering if it's only me.
Hi mayjak.
I worked for 4 1/2 years in a health food store. In that time there might have been 2 or 3 people who mentioned that problem, so it can happen.
I'd try whole food vitamins and see if that made any difference for me.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley and All,
Update end three weeks starting 4th week: I feel like a new woman, only one day this week of feeling the die off and it only lasted one full day. Hardly can call my rash a shadow, but small amount is still there. My spit test looked a bit better, no flakes in the middle, still long legs at the top, but this time it took about a half hour before the fog hit bottom (had my hopes up for a while;~(. Slept 2 nights this week without waking up from sinus infection, still there but doing good.
One thing I wanted to add, maybe everyone is doing it and not mentioning it, but don't forget the COD LIVER OIL. A very important part of the recipe. I know this to be true, because it was one of the important ingredients I used to cure, (yes cure) my osteoarthritis, but that is another story.
Now Kelley, I would not ask you to snitch on Santa, just wanted to know if I'm still eligible for the news letter, I can wait, patients is my virtue, (darn it). I hope the order number is in the box, because I think he rapped the book in the box it came in.
You also mention something about a tonic you take for maintenance against your cancer you had. Can you elaborate on that please, give details, or start another hub. It sounds very similar to a tonic I make for a cold or flu. Peace, Rena
Hi Rena,
Congratulations on your continued improvement: "I feel like a new woman."
For the newsletter...after Christmas...I just need your husband's first and last name emailed to me: awthr awthr @ yahoo. com
The tonic is basically the ingredients from the Master Cleanse. I just do it once a day but not every day. It's a little water, some maple syrup, freshly squeezed lime juice, and one grated jalepeno pepper.
I usually open up a couple capsules of cinnamon, ginger, and fo-ti (trying to see if the fo-ti will turn my gray hair brown again ;-) ) and mix them in.
The best to you.

E-mail sent,
Let us know about the gray hair turning brown, I would love to get rid of my gray, so would many others I'm sure. I tried the black strap molasses, didn't work.
Hi Kelley, What newsletter is Rena61 talking about? WHat did i miss???
Hi Liquidfire,
Please forgive me for the mental lapse if I've screwed up. All the purchasers of my book are entitled to my free newsletter. Did you order my book? I'm just having a brain freeze here.
If you did, where IS the glowing book review! ;-)

Kelly, I just want to say that your response to my email about Chlorella and the die-off issue is absolutely wonderful. I can't tell you how valuable it is to get such a clear and informative response, so simply. It makes complete sense, what you say. I'm very happy to add chlorella and apple pectin to the 'tool box' now that I understand what they stand for. For the first time in years I feel ready to confront this candida problem again. I've been looking at other sites for help, from time to time, but nothing ever assured me as much as what I see here. Thank you, truly. I will start the 'recipe' as soon as I can find the products (I live abroad...)
Thanks so much Kelley.
I want to ask you if someone can do this routine while they are pregnant?
Thank you
How kind of you, Mira! You MADE my day even better, and I was already having a pretty good one.
Here's what else that happened today that also made my day:
A extraordinarily generous man named Dany, who lives in New Zealand...he might originally be from India based on his accent...has sent me a sent me a donation that I received today...in American DENOMINATIONS no less... to purchase multiple copies of my book which he has asked me to lend out to influential people I know personally.
The program will work like this, each recipient will be given the book and a return envelope. They will be asked to lend the book to someone else in 1 to 30 days or return in anonymously to me.
Each person who receives the book will be asked to keep the daisy chain going. They are not allowed to keep the book. If they want one of their own, or if they want to expand the "gift of lending" program, they may.
So I'm quite excited about what the future may bring with this program! I really mean it when I say "Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!"
Each effort can create a huge impact. Each book could reach 100 people, or even more if you include family members.
Let's see how long it takes for one of these books to reach your neighborhood and your hands. I'll be hand delivering them to a variety of people I know, including a few doctors.
Please put this Light action in your prayers, because truly TOGETHER WE CAN CURE CANCER - ONE PERSON AT A TIME!
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,,,,OPPS I didnt get a book yet but its on my to do list!!!
Congrats on your new book deal. How wonderful for all the people that will get your book even tho they are probably not aware of the books you have written.
Thank you again for all your time and effort you put into these wonderful hubs, I cant tell you how much you have helped me!!!
Hi Liquidfire,
Wow! Today is a day to mark on my calendar...everyone is so kind. BTW, you had a something to do with your success! Yes, you did!
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
Dear Kelley
Multimillion times congratulations for the outstanding, generous, authentically love-filled strategy for getting your book to more people! What an absolutely wonderful idea. It hardly feels necessary to offer my best wishes -- so much is its success guarenteed, flying -- as it certainly will -- on its own, most beautiful wings of caring, sharing and trust. There is so much goodness in what you are offering to people, and this book strategy goes right to the goodness within us all, inviting us to act on goodness and faith. A winner! You and your new friend from New Zealand have just made MY day.
Hi Mira,
There's nothing like starting the day off reading a response like yours! Thank you so much.
And let's always remember that it is "Dany" who is making this miracle possible. It's like a mustard seed with a million branches.
I made one error. Dany lives in Australia rather than New Zealand. Another one of those tricks my brain plays on me. They are both islands with New Zealand being two islands, so I wasn't totally wrong. :-)
The best to you.

Kelley --
I've been off sugar for about 5-6 months now -- the only thing I eat is fruit, all-fruit jelly (on rare occasions) & I use stevia also on occasion. My fave sweet treats are frozen mango & frozen cherries. Yummmmmmy!My question is -- I did the spit test this morning & it showed possible Candida... I am confused about this. I don't cheat (on Thanksgiving only had ONE SMALL BITE of cake -- it was TINY) except for the fruit...
Do you think it's necessary to give this up? I feel like the benefits I get from it are GOOD & it's almost like, if I can't have CHOCOLATE CAKE sometimes or my 2-3 squares of dark chocolate, at least I can have fruit, which is the next best thing!
Yet, I had the strings coming down in the spit test... frustrating! I've been to the chiropractor & had the yeast "zapped" with electrical stimulus, and the only bread I eat is the Ezekiel sprouted wheat bread. I have occasional protein powder, but it's stevia-sweetened.
I really DO NOT CHEAT.
Yet, I'm working out & have been for about 8-9 months & am not losing. Bloodwork was normal, I'm doing intervals + resistance workouts, and overall consider myself a very healthy person. Hoping to lose 20-25 lb.
Any thoughts? SOMETHING must be holding me back... just can't figure out WHAT until this morning when I got the positive (or what appeared to be) Candida spit test...
What else can I change?!?!? Frustrated...
THANKS!Ginghart
PS -- I take a good probiotic, eat coconut oil, take cod liver oil, and drink my apple cider vinegar religiously. I consider myself QUITE healthy -- but obviously am missing something... THANKS! Ginghart
Hi Ginghart.
First, what you have been doing has been helpful to you, even if it hasn't done enough. If you hadn't done what you've done, the yeast would have had a field day. So let me pat you on the back for a job well done.
You didn't mention if you've also been following my recipe. If not, I'd give it a whirl. Lots of people are having great success with it.
If you have, there's three things I'd consider doing. A colon cleanse, a parasite cleanse, or colliodal silver. There's one cleanse advertised on TV called "The Cleaner." It advertises cleaning both the colon and parasites.
I've used it, and it's been very effective. I used a half-dose of what they recommended.
And once again, you're to be commended for having the discipline to follow the program you've been doing!
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
Hi Ginghart.
What you're doing is good. I'd make sure the cider vinegar has "the mother" (cloudy stuff at the bottom) in it.
My recipe has olive leaf extract and glutamine in it. My article explains why they are important.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
THANKS, KELLEY! I'll add the glutamine & olive leaf extract. I did read your article & just hadn't had a chance to get those yet. I will though...
I have been diligent with the diet - -but do you think I need to also give up the fruit??? Why would I STILL have yeast present? I just hate to... it's my one & only splurge.
But if I need to... I will. What do you think?
And yes, I use Bragg's with "the mother" in it for ACV.
I've been checked for parasites thru my chiropractor & applied kinesiology -- none present, he said.
But will sure try adding what you recommend... couldn't hurt! MIGHT HELP!
Just wish I could lose this extra bit of weight -- hate feeling HEAVY & as clean as I'm eating, just don't get why I'm NOT... frustrating!
THANKS!
Ginghart
Hi GingHart,
I think programs that say to give up fruit do that because they don't know how to get rid of the cause as well as they would like, which includes repairing the holes in the intestinal lining. That's just my opinion.
My recipe doesn't ask people to give up fruit or anything, including pure crapola, until they no longer want it. And guess what happens! They lose their cravings anyway.
It's natural to not crave those things. In general, fruit is good for us. So any program that says give up fruit tells me that maybe they don't have all the parts...they have some or even most of the parts but not all.
One more thing. You want to lose inches, not so much weight, if you are working out. Muscle weighs more than fat. So when you get the inches right, you're golden!
The best to you.

Kelley,
I figured you'd have a comment on Dr. Mercola's site, since he just did a yeast video. His sources said that yeast puts out 180 toxins, a little bit up from your 80. Peace to you and yours.
ExJohnson
Kelly,
I started onthe program 11-20-08. Before breakfast I take 1 Primal Defense and 2 IntestiNew. After breakfast I take 1 each Olive Leaf extract,Caprylic Acid, Multi Enzyme. This is exactly the same for dinner. At lunch time I take 1 Primal Defence before lunch and 1 Multi Enzyme after lunch. This is what is suggested on the bottles. Do I need to make any changes? If so, when and how much.
Hi Mona,
It sounds like you're working it in a dedicated fashion. I wouldn't make any changes if it were me.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Kelley,
Since you own a health food store (I think), just what is the efficacy of irradiated herbs and extracts? And is one year old olive leaf extract less effective than newer capsules? The same question applies for the probiotics.
Thanks, ExJohnson
Hi ExJohnson,
I learned from writing "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer" that radiation creates what are called "trienically conjugated" fatty acids. That is a VERY bad thing. It hinders the ability of the fatty acid to transport oxygen into the cell, which promotes rancidity over time.
I don't want any of my cells turning rancid, and I'm sure you don't either. Every herb and extract would have at least a small amount of fatty acids in them, so every herb that gets irradiated is going to be affected to a certain extent.
So my vote would be a big fat NO on taking any irradiated herbs or extracts.
If you're comparing apples to apples, then of course the newer one is going to be more potent. If you're comparing an older LIQUID extract to a newer non-extract, then I'd say that the liquid extract is going to be more potent because the longer the liquid is stewing, the more potent it becomes.
BTW, I've retired from managing a health food store as of November 1st. I highly recommend it! :-) For now it's giving me more time to reply to questions and to promote my book.
The best to you.

Well, I had 2 of my 4 mercury fillings replaced last Monday. The procedure went GREAT. No problems, no complications, practically painless except for the minute or so of getting the initial shot to numb me, which was actually not too bad as they used a cherry spray to "prenumb" my gums before giving me the shots. After that I literally did not feel a thing for the whole process. Both teeth only took about an hour and 15 minutes. Within a couple hours, I was eating my lunch as usual (although being somewhat cautious) and had no problems. I did go back a fewdays later as one of the CEREC replacement fillings needed to be filed down as two spots were somewhat rough. I had this done just a few days before Thanksgiving and I can tell you it didn't stop me from eating like everyone else at the table. I am having the other 2 mercury fillings replaced in January and will post again to give another follow up.
The dentist that did such a great job on me is in Southfield, Michigan. His name is Dr. Mark Morin and here is a link to his website http://www.drmorin.com/ . After spending numerous hours online I found a link to his site from a mercury free dental site. I sent an email requesting information and got a reply a couple of days later from Dr. Morin, as well as a call from his office to set up an initial consultation. The entire staff is wonderful, friendly and professional.
As I truly believe everything happens for a reason, I couldn't have found Dr. Morin at a better time in my life. Three years ago, my son broke both of his front teeth in half late in the afternoon, slipping on an ice patch and hitting our driveway. Luckily, his dentist was still at his office and stayed half the night repairing them. This past weekend, he was eating and one of the bonded parts of one of his teeth broke off. The original dentist was no longer working from the office as before. I suggested to my wife to use Dr. Morin's office since I was so impressed at my experience there. I called in the morning and fortunately they were able to get him in within a couple hours. After X-rays to check for any nerve damage, Dr. Brad Greenfield repaired my son's tooth in about an hour or so, He did a great job and my son was very pleased at how very little pain or discomfort he had during the work.
If anyone on the hub here, or anyone still just looking at the posts and is still on the border on trying Kelley's plan or is having concerns about mercury filling removal, at least you have one more piece of information at your fingertips.
Good luck to everyone else here with their issues. I am still doing the plan, have lost a couple of inches on my gut, but still have alot of work to do on my white tongue and a couple of toe and foot problems that the yeast/fungus just won't give up and die.
Kelley, I'm so excited, I couldn't wait to tell you and other's "The light switch" effect struck me yesterday Wednesday.
Here's what happened: My husband brought home my biggest weakness. It's called Poppycock chocolate lover's. After I chastised him for buying it, I thought to myself, I'm not craving it, I don't even want it, there is absolutely no temptation. This is a mile stone for me. Of course I haven't told him yet, got to make him stew for what he tried to do, I'll tell him in a few day's.
BTW I am at my 4 1/2 week mark. My energy level is at an all time high, about to jump out of my skin.
Here's my question. Will this kind of effect continue to last even when I'm done with the recipe part of it? I know to continue with a few things for life, but will this energy level, and light switch effect stay with me as long as the candida is under control?
How great it is, Peace Rena.
Kelley,
I know this is off-topic, but I am wondering what you would recommend for auto-immune disorders. My 13-year-old son has had alopecia areata since age 4, which indicates a genetic, auto-immune component. I gave him the yeast protocol you recommend on this site this past summer for 3 months, with no change. His is otherwise healthy. Is there anything else you would recommend?
Thanks for your great work in assisting others to health. If we all share and work together, we can support one another toward our goals.
Suzanne
Hi Kelley!
I've done four months of your formula and usually pass my spit test. A couple of times there were some traces of candida, maybe from cheating a bit over Thanksgiving. Mostly I feel good but I do still have a pudgy belly, as I mentioned before. You suggested, then, that I might have parasites. My doc gave me a handout on uses of Lugol's iodine and it recommends an enema using Lugol's. I did quite a bit of Googling about Lugol's and there are a lot of folks who swear by it. However, when I asked a local pharmacist if they carried it (it's illegal to buy over the counter now, but available on the internet) he was aghast at the idea and cautioned me not to use this in an enema! He read a whole lot of stuff from a medical book to me to convince me of the dangers of such a plan. Do you have any info or experience about using this as an enema? The material I read said it gets rid of mucous in a big way. It's not that I take the pharmacist's word as gospel but the degree of his alarm did give me some pause.
I'm still trying to get rid of fungus on two toenails. It hasn't budged with the anti candida protocol and I figure I need to do apply something topically on them. After reading many many recommendations on the internet, I am drawn to the idea of using colloidal silver on them. While at Vitamin Cottage i asked the chief herb guy about it and he said that their store no longer carries it since a customer had a bad experience by "abusing it." He recommended all of the other remedies--bleach, etc. etc. I know them all but want to try Colloidal Silver. I plan to just use it topically. Do you think there is a danger in it?
Well, THANK YOU, as always for your invaluable service! You make mucho good karma, Kelley!
Love to all,
Clover
ps. Somehow the idea of "abusing colloidal silver" struck me as funny....like what did the person do...call it names? :-)
Hi Rena!
You achieved the "LIGHT SWITCH" milestone! Congratulations!!! There ought to be a badge or something. Like those "I've lost weight ask me how" buttons.
Plus, you've got LOTS of ENERGY! (Probably enough energy to go snooping around and peeking inside Christmas gifts! ;-) )
Folks, if you haven't already emailed this hub page and linked to this on your blog, and "Stumbled Upon" and "Dugg" it, go do it now. We could shrink the demand for ice cream and cookies and soft drinks by 50%. We could help make our children SMARTER and get them off RITILIN (sp?)!
This Hub should absolutely be the #1 listed topic at Digg...it is THAT important! It's up to you to make it happen, though. After that happens, it could start becoming #1 everywhere. It will save more lives and more MISERY than even my cancer Hub does.
Don't wait for the next person to Digg it, or blog it, or email it. You do it, or it won't get done.
Totally awesome and totally the way we were designed to be. Which means it's totally achievable by almost anyone who does it.
How long should you do this recipe for? Heck, I'd keep going for a week or maybe a month if I felt like it. Whenever I feel like I'm slipping back, I'd go back on it...nip it in the bud. It doesn't take as long to nip a bud as it does to kill pounds of yeast that have built up in us.
You go girl!

Hi Suzanne,
Because there might be a genetic component to the condition, I'd probably give vitamin B-5, acetyl l-carnitine and n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) a try if it were me. The acetyl groups (and the methyl groups) control genetic expression in many cases with dramatic results in animals.
The whole area of study is called epigenetics. It's brand new and much bigger than the genome project by far.
I was told by a pharmacist from Europe that Dr. Revici (The Doctor Who Cures Cancer) was way ahead of the curve in that area as well.
There seems to be some connection to the acetyl functions of B-5 and the alopecia areata you spoke about. I don't know that this would work, but if I had it it would be worth a try.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
Hi Clover!
I'm not familiar with the iodine enema you mentioned. Getting rid of a lot of mucus sounds pretty cool to me. If your doctor likes it AND he's a holistic doctor, I'd probably go for it. Medical books generally don't like holistic treatments, so I'm not sure I'd put a lot of weight on that.
There was a man who used way too much colloidal silver and turned blue. It's supposedly permanent. He did not get an offer to work the Las Vegas shows however.
But that is so rare. I'd get the silver that isn't a protein silver. You'll have to Google it because I don't recall where I saw it.
Silver on your toenails will not turn a person blue. I don't think there is a single recorded case of that ever happening. It is very effective in killing all sorts of microbes, including fungus.
Once a fungus is externally visible, then what we take internally will have little effect on that portion of it. So it's not surprising that my recipe didn't do much for the external yeast growth. I'd try the silver or spraying hydrogen peroxide (laundry strength non-chlorine bleach) on it.
The best to you.

Hi Rena!
Thanks for the exciting post about how things are going for you. Do the "spit in the glass test" before you stop taking the supplements. Also, really WORK the fact that the cravings are gone; we are creatures of habit, so sometimes we eat because it's just what we do, and we eat for emotional reasons too--and if you're like me and you want to lose weight and/or be really healthy, now's the time to concentrate on making better food choices.
Also, here's a quotation from a review on glutamine:
"I've found that glutamine supplementation has been amazingly effective at absolutely eliminating late night junk food cravings.
My normal solution for cravings such as these has been to take 300 mg of alpha lipoic acid prior to my meals. Lately however, even this had proved to be ineffective.
Glutamine, on the other hand, worked absolute miracles for me! (I am taking approximately 30 grams of glutamine per day in two divided doses. I found it took about a week to realize the effects, but once I did... wow!).
As such, l-glutamine has now become my #1 recommended supplement as a craving killer!" http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/l-glutamine-revie
Check it out yourself though--it interests me because I'm also dealing with IBS and I'm hoping to cure that through this process.
Thanks again! Terri

I went on your candida cleanse regime about a week ago because of acid reflux. I have trouble sleeping and I have this annoying burning in my throat - almost on a daily basis. Do you think this is the right approach for me? I don't want to do the Nexium thing or even take the Pepcid route (although it (Pepcid) seems to help temporarily. Any suggestions are very appreciated.Louis
Hi Louis,
I like two things for acid reflux. The first is to make sure I take enough enzymes when I eat. That helps prevent acid reflux for me. I use Vitamin World's super strength multi-enzymes.
The other thing, that can end an acid reflux attack in as little as a minute or two is aloe vera juice. The secret is to let it swish around in the mouth to activate its polysaccharides which are sugars. And then swallow it bit by bit slowly.
Sweet dreams.
The best to you.

Thanks Kelly. Do you think the acid reflux could be helped in the long run by the the candida treatment or is that another story?Louis
Hi Louis,
You're most welcome. Most people have a yeast overgrowth, and it can contribute to acid reflux. If after I read my article, and it sounded like me, I'd probably do it. You get to make the final decision, nonetheless, Louis.
You can let us know if it helps you. I love to hear success stories, and so do the tens of thousands of people who've visited here.

I'm excited to take the time to investigate the above plan and see how it works for me! In reading previous comments, although they were 7 months ago, I wanted to offer a thought about nursing. This is, to an extent, a detox plan. Anytime one is nursing and detoxing at the same time, the toxins, yeast, etc. can also be flushed out through the breast milk. That's great if you're pumping and dumping, but it might not be the ideal food for your baby that you're hoping for. For example, Thrush is a common (yeast) problem that can be passed back and forth between newborns and their nursing mothers. The purpose of this comment is not to cause alarm, but to suggest a reason to consider waiting to cleanse until after you have stopped nursing (or even better, to cleanse before one gets pregnant, as I wish I had!) All of the Naturapathic Physicians I have been to have told their patients not to cleanse/detox while pregnant/nursing. I hope this will either serve as appropriate "constructive criticism" or maybe someone who knows more about it than myself will educate me!
Thanks, Trish, for your valuable input!
The best to you.

Hi Terri,
Thanks for the link, so much information. I didn't realize how important glutamine was to muscle mass. You have no idea how important this is to me, because my job as a paint manager requires me to lift 5 gallon buckets of paint products all day long. I kind of look at it as a paid "work out" within itself.
I plan on doing the spit test every week, kind of got in that routine since starting this program. I've deffinetely seen changes every week, and report them. This morning no fog at the bottom, but long legs, keeps getting better.
End of week 4 starting week 5. Peace, Rena.
Hi Kelley
It has taken a while but I am about to start on the regimen you suggest for clearing yeast from the colon. I thank you for the info and will keep you posted on my results.
I had a colonic 2 months ago and began taking barley grass, blue algae, a colon cleanse supplement and a parasite cleanse supplement. i felt great and even saw a chronic condition on my hand (which my Naturopath said was a result of a systemic yeast overgrowth confirmed by a body scan of my internal organs) disappear in a few days! i was thrilled, of course and hence I'm a believer call name! I admit being a bit lax after a while and ate foods on the not recommended list! I am ashamed as I developed not one but three outbreaks on my hands between the fingers. This time the symptoms were far worse with itching,swelling, oozing fluid, crusting and inflammation! Before it got worse though I was dabbing on white vinegar which seemed to calm it down. Thinking it was the yeast condition I remembered too late that vinegar is no good for that condition and was possibly the cause of the horrible state of my hands....Before I got a chance to see my Naturopath, I went to my dermatologist and got a cream and an antibiotic (unfortunately) because I was so upset with the infection (which he saw as a bacterial). I am a massage therapist and have been out of work and will be until I get this under control!
Your comment to Clover that once a fungus shows externally what we do internally will have little effect on that portion! OMG!!! i was upset to read that and wanted your feedback as to what you thought I could do to keep this condition from coming back! I don't plan to continue with the cream medication after this week because it scares me.
Thank you for your time and knowledge!
Sincerely, i'm a believer!
Hi Believer.
Actually it's good news about the external. Topicals can get rid of that quickly while you're waiting for the internal stuff to die off from the internal recipe.
If my hands were cracking like you described, I'd start taking a combination of sublingual vitamin B-12 (5,000 mcg under the tongue) twice a day, and at least 100 mgs of B-6 twice a day to see if my hands didn't heal up rather quickly.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Hi Believer, Dr Mercola has a sublingual vitamin B-12 that works wonders. Check out his site.
Hope you find relief soon.
Hello,
I started the regime yesterday with high hopes. I'm taking 1 Solgar Caprylic Acid (365 mg) 2 PB8s, 1 freeze dried garlic tab, 1 Candex (for enzymes), One capsule of Olive leaf extract (I fill it myself from the liquid extract), 1 Pau d'arco capsule which I also fill, 1 scoop of Glutamine and my usual multivitamin from Life Extension.org. I suffer from a host of food allergies, tobacco smoke makes me feel like someone is choking me, fasting insulin is 5, eczema and inhalant allergies, and am also about 40 pounds overweight with very little energy.
Anyway, a couple of hours after ingesting the therapy, i felt really energetic, as if my arms and legs were weightless. This feeling continued into the morning. I took my second dose this morning and am feeling very lousy; extremely itchy, skin on face like a mask, body feels heavy again, pain in knees, mentally clouded, etc. I am also feeling a decrease in cravings or hunger in general. I also did something really uncharacteristic of me; I ate vegetable soup for breakfast. I would never have done this before.
I'm not expecting miracles and I know I'm in for a long ride, but I very excited to take that ride. I will check back in some time to report on my progress.
Thanks to Kelley for your hard work and the level of support you provide, and to all others for sharing the details of their experience.
Hi Alice,
Thanks for sharing your story with such detail! I love it. By the way, it's my pleasure to be able to share back and forth and to assist you.
With the Candex and the pau d'arco added, it's little wonder that you experienced a 'response' today. You sure do write clearly despite feeling mentally clouded.
I'd drink an extra glass or two of water to see if that didn't relieve some of the discomfort.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley!
My question today is about the dosage of L-glutamine. Terri mentioned a fairly large dose, as did the link she provided, compared to what you recommended. Also, the directions on my bottle recommends 1/4th teaspoon, one to three x/day. My naturopath recommended 1/8th teaspoon, 2x/day for me. I know everyone is different but there seems to be a really big difference between Terri's weblink and the other recommendations. Do you think it is possible to overdose on it?
Thanks!

Hi Clover.
I've read of using way more than what I used, which was 4.5 gms twice a day, especially if exercising. There is a minimum threshold needed to curb appetite, according to Terri's link from two days ago.
I don't think an 1/8 teaspoon would be enough, but my present container has a scoop that is 7 gms per scoop, so I can't say for sure.
I'm sorry I can't be more precise for you. when I suggest 4.5 to 5 grams twice a day, that seems to have worked for most folks.
The best to you.

Hi Clover--great question--wondering if you can overdose on L-Glutamine. I did some research:
"The dosage for someone who has surgical trauma is typically 12 grams (given as L-glutamine) daily. It is about 25 grams (given as L-glutamine) daily for people with severe trauma and infections. For those who are using it orally as a supplement for fitness or sports purposes, it is recommended to use 1.5 to 4.5 grams (as L-glutamine) daily.
There are no known reports of overdose with glutamine peptides. There have been rare reports of people having constipation and bloating with high doses of glutamine peptides. They are contraindicated in those hypersensitive to any component of a glutamine peptide-containing product."
Also, check out http://nutripedia.com/Amino_Acids/L-Glutamine
"Toxicity (Overdose): Doses of L-glutamine up to 21 grams daily appear to be well tolerated. Reported adverse reactions are mainly gastrointestinal and not common. They include constipation and bloating. There is one older report of two hypomanic patients whose manic symptoms were exacerbated following the use of 2 to 4 grams daily of L-glutamine. The symptoms resolved when the L-glutamine was stopped. These patients were not rechallenged, nor are there any other reports of this nature."
If anyone finds other information, please share it. Here's to being healthy! Terri
Great stuff, Terri!

Hi Kelley,
I've had a stye for going on three weeks. I went to the doctor the other day and he put me on antibiotics (Amox 10 days). I'm on my third day. I am feeling horribly sick with headache and upset stomach and am concluding that the best way to deal with this is to strengthen my immune system through your suggestions. If you were me would you continue the antibiotic ?? I have d-lenolate and acidophilus right now but will need to purchase the rest of what you suggest.
Thank you
Elizabeth
Hi Eli,
Personally, I've never met an FDA-approved antibiotic I liked. So no I wouldn't continue it IF it were me. I'm probably put some colloidal silver on my stye two or three times a day, instead.
And since I would realize...as I'm sure you have, too... that by taking an antibiotic that I've opened myself up to a yeast overgrowth, yes I'd follow my program.
In fact I've just started back on my recipe myself. I might have been exposed to antibiotics when I had my eyes examined, or it could have come through eating meat raised on antibiotics. But lately, I'd been eating Christmas candy, mint flavored M&M's to be specific.
So I just started back today. :-) I'm going to nip it in the bud.
The best to you.

I called in sick to the 9to5 today because I felt lousy upon awakening this morning. This is my third day of supplementation and I am alternating between bouts of extreme sinus congestion, lethargy, strange metal scent, and headache, and periods where I feel clear-headed, uncongested, energetic and peppy, and as if I should put on my clothes and show up to work.After calling in, I started the day with PB8, Candex and glutamine. About 30 mins later, I felt amazingly clearheaded, my sinuses were clear, and I felt very energized. Then I had a cup of organic decaffeinated coffee. Still felt great. Then I consumed some chicken and dumplings and the rest of my supplements (olive leaf extract, grapefruit seed extract, pau d'arc extract, multivitamin, cod liver oil and caprylic acid) and the horrible feelings came rushing back. And it's happening like this as the day wears on, alternating periods of feeling great, then crappy, then great, and so on.As for the metal scent I keep smelling, as well as two ear ringing occassions today, I really can't understand why this is happening because I had all of my amalgams removed 4 years ago and then underwent a long process of chelating the metals from my body. I chelated until the bothersome symptoms I'd been experiencing--constant ear ringing and eye-twitching, fingertip numbness and dry eyes--had all gone away. My vision changed from -2.50 to -1.00 and I felt those toxic metal days were over as I have no new source of metal.Anyway, it's back to bed for me, as I'm currently in the horrible state of being at the moment. Good luck to everyone.
Hi Alice,
I'm sorry you're not feeling well with so many different ups and downs.
I'm more of a coward when it comes to feeling bad, so I would temporarily stop the pau d'arco and the Candex for now, maybe for a week or two if it were me.
The best to you.

Thanks for you help Kelly! Your suggestion about biting down while trying to swallow pills has helped. I had never really analyzed how open my mouth was even though my lips were closed (if that makes any sense). I am taking the probiotic, olive leaf extract and L-glutamine regularly now. I still need to get the capryllic acid.
Congrats on the book circulation with the Australian. I wish you all the best! You're an exceptional person and I appreciate all you do for us.
Hi KCC,
I forgot to ask you where I'm supposed to send the payment for your 'unsolicited' kind comments. ;-)
The money Dany sent to me from Australia has been so great. I started the "Lend It To End It" program which could be miraculous.
Have you ever done something good and then its effects multiplied day after day? That's what the "Lend It To End It" does.
As each day passes, more copies can be added to the program, and each book gets loaned out to family after family!
It's possible that in two years, Dec. 5, 2010, to be exact, that 50 to 100 million families could have access to "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer," all starting from 10 copies. Not too shabby.
That could change everything. There is already a cure for cancer. The biggest problem is that most people don't know it yet. "Lend It To End It" could change that...in two years.
The best to you.

Thank you Kelley and Terri for the additional info on dosage for L-Glutamine. I couldn't access the link you provided, Terri, at this time but I'll try again later.
I finished four months of The Regime (cap acid, et al) and seem to have reduced the candida a lot. I passed the spit test a few weeks ago but apparently some dietary lapses brought the yeasties back because I've had a few present in the test recently. So I'm staying on the cap acid, olive leaf, etc, at a low dose.
I had never heard about L-Glutamine beforfe finding this site and have been taking it for "leaky gut" as you directed, Kelley. My naturopath muscle tested me for dosage and came up with 1/8 t. twcie a day. It seems to me that you said, quite a while ago (I checked the past posts but couldn't find it) that we only need the L-Glutamine for about two months, even if we are continuing with the Cap acid. Is that true or was that just for folks who have completely eliminated candida and are no longer doing the cap acid? How do we know if we need it for "leaky gut" any more?
Now Terri has come up with this interesting and great info that L-Glutamine works to curb food cravings. That gives me some incentive to keep taking it, since Dove bars do still call me from time to time. Re, the dosage---again, thanks Terri for the valuable info. I am trying to translate grams into teaspoons and I did manage to find your statement, Kelley, that "one teaspoon = several grams." My bottle didn't come with a scoop and when you mention scoops I have to wonder how big they are.
I'm thinking I'll try one teaspoon twice a day and see what happens. Now that I know that there is no danger in taking this amount I feel ok about it.
I have ordered colloidal silver (not the protein kind) for my toenail fungus. The forums on the website I found make all kinds of amazing claims for these metals. I'm looking forward to trying that and will keep you posted.
Again, thanks to everyone for contributing your knowledge!
Clover
P.S. I just re-read the info on the first link Terri sent about L-Glutamine and found that One teaspoon=4 grams....so that answers one of my questions!
Hi Clover,
If there's still too much yeast, then they could be making holes in the intestines. I used the glutamine for that. It appears from the feedback and from my own experience as well that the IntestiNew does an even better job than does the glutamine by itself.
This is not to say, "Throw away your glutamine." But if I were reordering, that's what I'd probably do. The IntestiNew really does help improve the symptoms arising from digestive problems.
The best to you.

Hey Kelley,
Thank-you for such an informative hub...I have really enjoyed all of the great posts....I keep reading about a spit test can you explain??? Is it anything like a PH test???
Sincerely Skeeter0757
Hi Skeeter,
You're welcome!
I can give you a brief explanation. Maybe others could locate the explanation above and copy and paste it. Also you might do a Google search for the combination of +"spit test" +candida.
Basically, I would put a glass by my bed and spit in it the first thing in the morning when I woke up. Then I'd watch to see if there are any white "strings" that extend down after a certain amount of time. The more "strings" the more yeast that is present.
The best to you.

Candida Yeast Test
! The FREE and EASY Candida Yeast TestMight I have a problem with Candida Yeast?
You can try this simple test to find out.
First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, fill a clear glass with room temperature Bottled Water.
Work up a bit of saliva, then spit it into the glass of water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour.
If you have a potential problem, you will see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or "cloudy" saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water.
If there are no strings and the saliva is still floating after at least one hour, you probably have Candida under control, and have nothing to worry about. Congratulations.
! The Results
What can I do if the test shows positive?
First, talk this over with your health care provider, as soon as possible.
Next, contact the person that sent you to this web page, they may have some helpful specific suggestions.
Be aware that a Candida Yeast problem can be pretty difficult to deal with, especially after it has had enough time to get established and be causing you problems.
It may not be easy, and it may take a while to impact the situation, be patient, and work on it everyday.
Your good health is at stake!
Thanks, Skeeter.
Most of us around here have found that we can get rid of a yeast overgrowth a lot faster than what others have been able to do.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley and everyone!
It's been a couple weeks since I've posted, but I'm now about 6 weeks into the cleanse and it's going really well. I cheated a couple times (I knew Thanksgiving would be an indulgent day, and I also had ice cream on a couple occasions) but generally I've been going without any sugar (aside from what's in vegetables) or flours. I may be taking more of the caprylic acid, olive leaf, L-glutamine and PB-8 than most (I take 3 of each/day) but I really wanted to get through killing off the yeast asap. My tongue is finally losing that gross white coating, and my spit test looks better every time I do it (about once a week). Hooray!
I've also been taking colloidal silver for fungal issues...mainly dry, flaky skin patches and rosacea (sp?). It's done wonders so far! I didn't realize I could apply it topically, but taking it internally has really helped with my skin and nail fungus as well. I will try applying it to my affected toenails to see if that accelerates the healing.
I've also dropped some weight (about 10 pounds) and some inches, which is fantastic! My cravings are under control too. I hope once I'm done ridding myself of Candida that I can enjoy occasional sweets and grains without fear of restarting the Candida that I'm sure has been plaguing me for years. But at least now I know what to do if the problem resurfaces!
Thanks SO MUCH to Kelley and everyone for their contributions and shared experiences! Here's to taking control of our health, our weight, and our lives for 2009! I am spreading the word about this awesome hubpage!
Hi Pants,

Hi everyone,
I may be off line for the next two days (Wed. & Thurs). The weatherman is predicting thunderstorms for the next two days here in Sunny Florida. In case you didn't know, Florida is the capital of lightning strikes.
In the meantime, your questions might be answered in the responses above so I don't come back to a flood of questions.
I type with two fingers, most of the time hitting the correct keys. ;-)...can you imagine...I wrote an entire book with two fingers typing! To make up for using only two fingers, I also type slowly.
Why do I type slowly? I'm working on remembering where all the letters are. baddabing!

Hi Pants, I just have to congratulate you on such a wonderful post. I am happy things are going your way and you are getting it under control.
I noticed something about my rash. At least once a week I will get flair ups, and I re-break out. However, each time the break out is less and less. I am figuring it is my body throwing out toxins on a fairly regular cycle. Sometimes I think it is almost gone, then here it is again. Is this happening to you (or anyone else)? I am new to this crap and comments or knowledge are welcome.
BTW: Like you, I cut out all sugar and grains.
P.S. I already miss our 2 finger typing Kelley, Peace, Rena.
Hi kelley, I just started the program, but now I think I have a UTI , I really don't want to go to the doctor. I don't want to take any anibotics I been taking cranberry pills, lime juice and lot of water but still bother me, should I go and just start again, I just don't want to get a yeast infection you know. any advise
Hi Ocean,
It sounds like you're doing what I would have done myself. I do prefer the cranberry juice just because you can get more down that way.
My understanding is that cranberry is really good for BACTERIAL bladder infections. If it's not having an effect I might consider the possibility that it's a yeast infection, but I'm just guessing from here.
We often think of yeast being a vaginal condition, but it can show up just about anywhere.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley and all!
Kelley, I was telling a friend today about this website and candida (she doesn't have a computer) and she asked me if there was a connection between candida and thryoid problems. It seems to me that everything is related to everything but I couldn't tell exactly how these two relate. Also, she has environmental sensitivity so badly that she can't even pump her own gas. It seems that half the women I know have some version of these immune system deficiencies. It seems to me that you once wrote here that "leaky gut" is a cause of of immune problems. Is that the case?
I know you are taking a break here to enjoy your Florida lightening storms so I don't expect any speedy answer. Just whenever you feel like giving your two fingers some more exercise on the keyboard! I do appreciate all of your wisdom...!
Clover
Hi Pants:
I'll be interested in hearing how the colloidal silver affects your toenails. Please keep us postd. I just sent for mine...am eager to try it.
Good luck,
Clover
Hi Clover,
We've got a blowing rain right now. So it's touch and go how much I'll be on line.
There's a big connection between candida and low thyroid. it's very common for those with low thyroid to have a problem with too much yeast.
When we recall that yeast likes to poke holes in our tissue it's easy to understand how chemical sensitivity is connected, too. Candida frequently camps in the sinus passages, poking holes. That lets chemical vapors to get into our bloodstream.
The blood is very sensitive and has no tolerance for things that don't belong there. And remember, the brain is right behind the sinuses.
One of the keys to my recipe which I don't emphasize enough is the glutamine (and even better, IntestiNew.) It patches the holes, keeping stuff out of the blood that doesn't belong there.
If I had all the symptoms your friend has, I'd go slow at first.
Maybe start with just the PB-8 and the IntestiNew for a week before adding either 1 of the olive leaf or 1 of the caprylic acid but not both, for another couple weeks before adding the fourth ingredient.
Then I'd stay with that for a month. I'd probably take the InstestiNew for two months.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley and all,
Just found this hub, I AM VERY EXCITED! I am all over this, and will post results (I have no doubt!) down the road as I use this program... looking forward to a healthier, flatter-tummied me!
In the meantime, though, there was discussion above about removing amalgam - I had ALL of the amalgam removed from my mouth a few years back, and the dentist was on top of all of the safety protocols, including: use of oxygen (patient and dentist!), and he used a rubber dam in my mouth while he was taking out the amalgam, to be absolutely sure that nothing got swallowed. I was given activated charcoal before and after the removal as well, just in case (I'm talking EVERY protocol for my safety). In short, there are excellent, responsible, committed dentists out there who really know what they are doing, you can find them (mine billed himself as doing "Environmental Dentistry", if that helps). I can say for fact that he's in Cleveland, OH, and there's another practice (we currently use for our children - NO AMALGAM EVER!) in Minneapolis, MN.
Much gratitude and many blessings to you, Kelley, on your generousity and genuine commitment to HEALTH!

Dear Ms. Eidem:
I saw your article posted by one of my Facebook met friends - I read it twice and read all the notes because I struggle too wit loosing all the belly fat (baby fat post deliveries).
Would I find the products you recommended in the Middle East / will they be off the shelf prescriptions? I'd need to find the Arabic Translation to them, which i will look up for.
Secondly, my mom used to always tell me the eating grilled garlic , adding Saffaron and Sumac to your foods helps loosing the extra fat.
For sure the Garlic helped me with my Asthma great time, is drinking Sumac and Saffaron with hot water going to help loose the fat?
Hi Loucia,
Olive leaf is a very popular item in the Middle East, used in many ways. You probably have the advantage of having it in your daily diet...fresh!
I'm sorry, I don't know what else is available in your part of the world. But I would trust your mother's advice. If you can't find a really good probiotic, make sure you keep kefir in your diet and other fermented foods.
The garlic does help to kill yeast overgrowth, which is a possibility since you mentioned having asthma.
The best to you.

Such a great hub Kelley! Am on the program now for about 1 week.
I have a question that I have NOT seen asked or answered here. Wouldn't intestinal yeast overgrowth show up in a colonoscopy? If a colonoscopy shows clean, would one really need this program?
Thanks, Cherie8
Hi Cherie,
Thank you!
I really don't know whether it would show up to the naked eye. A yeast cell is very small...it's microscopic in fact.

Thank you, Kelley, for the info on the connection between candida, hypothyroidism and environmental sensitivities. There are a lot of people around who approach each of these separately and it's really good to get the connection.
I will pass this excellent advice on to my friend. She has had a chronic sinus infection for a long time so that all fits in. And yes, the brain is right up there.
I wsn't aware that a lot of hypothyroid people had candida. Does the yeat get into the thyroid gland? Is that what messes it up? Can i expect that, as i continue the yeast clear-out, that my thyroid will perk up? I have a subnormal temp and get very cold although I've been taking Armour dessicated pig thyroid for quite a while. Recently I've started painting Lugols' iodine on my tummy, which is supposed to help thyroid. I just got colloidal silver and that's supposed to boost the whole immune system. One way or another, I'm determined to regain great health. It sure is a trip, though!
Well, batten down the hatches and enjoy your storm! I live in the desert and would welcome a good rainstorm now and then.
Cheers to all!
Clover
Hi Clover,
I couldn't say if the yeast gets into the thyroid physically, or if it's just one or more of the 80 toxins that the yeast poops out.
So either way, the thyroid is going to be a happier camper when the yeast is back under control.
The best to you.

Hey Kelley, I wanted you to know that my acid reflux symptoms have diminished substantially since I started the anti-candida supplements. At first, I felt terrrible - it was like I was walking around in a surrealistic down under world and my system was screaming for sugar - in a way it was kind of scary. I hope I continue to improve - I will continue to keep a postive attitude.
On a sadder note, I was with a friend this weekend whose wife is suffering from Systemic Lupus. I had not seen her in a couple of years, but she looks like a completely different person swelling, weight gain, rashes, etc. Her husband told me she has had all kinds of complications with the meds she's on and things look really bad. Might you have any suggestions for this issue?
Louis
Hi Louis,
Congratulations to you regarding your acid reflux. I hope I mentioned that aloe vera juice can be a life saver for an acid reflux attack. I would swish it around in my mouth for 30 seconds to allow it to become activated and then slowly swallow it little by little.
As for lupus, here is what I would do. First, I would say "NO!" to any and all steroids. Steroids promote yeast growth which contributes to the insatiable appetite.
The next thing to understand is the auto-immune disorders are mostly caused by yeast overgrowth. the little bast**** poke holes in the intestinal lining which allows partially undigested food particles to slip into the bloodstream.
The immune system thinks the particles are parasites, so the immune system attacks the particles. But we eat three or more times a day, so the immune system has a nervous breakdown of sorts.
That's when the immune system starts attacking healthy tissue. Lupus is just one of 100 auto-immune disorders that can be started this way.
So by now, you know what I would do, don't you? No? Well, I'm glad you asked!
I'd follow my EFFORTLESS tummy flattening recipe... slowly...with the addition of 5 Vitalzym taken three times a day on an empty stomach for a minimum of two months, maybe much longer depending on the severity and length of my illness.
The Vitalym would be to heal the scar tissue I had from the Lupus. I'd also take the emulsified cod liver oil I talk about on my Stage 4 cancer page.
After six months, I'd go back to all my doctors and say, "Hey, do you recognize me?...You don't?...Well, would you like to know what I did, so you could help your other auto-immune patients in the future?" hehe
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
What are common symptoms of yeast overgrowth?
Thx
Hi Helene.
There are over 100 symptoms of yeast overgrowth if one includes all 100+ auto-immune diseases. Then beyond that there's probably 50+ symptoms...maybe 100.
It's fun to do a Google search on "candida symptoms" to see the different lists that are out there. It gets complicated by the fact that the symptoms for other problems also include the same symptoms.
Here's a very short list: sinus problems, bloating, gas, jock itch, toenail fungus, headaches, depression, diabetes, cancer, low thyroid, foggy memory, irritability, weight gain, sugar or carb cravings, allergies, and on and on and on.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
End of week 5 starting week 6.
I got on the scale, and I've lost 9 pounds, thought my tummy looked flatter ;-) Had kind of a rough week though, had two rash flair ups, small ones 2 days apart. Still miner herx reactions a couple of times this week (fatigue feeling). My spit test looked worse this week than last week. I had fog at the bottom again, and long legs. Still no cravings, sometimes I have to make myself eat, appetite way down.
Should I list my regiment, and see if you think I should up any dosage or change something, would that help? Thanks, Peace Rena.
Hi Rena,
Sure you could either do that, or I might start taking broken cell chlorella and apple pectin, just in case there was any mercury toxicity. Two brands of chlorella are the Sun brand or the Kyoto brand which is sold by Swanson's.
Go ahead and list your regimen if you'd like.
I'd be reluctant to increase the recipe if I was having reactions at the present level.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Hi Kelly,
I have been faithfully following this protocol starting Aug 22. I added Dr Mercolas chlorella after reading the posts regarding the mercury which I feel I most likely have.
I feel its no accident I am hypothyroid as well as having the yeast issues. I am sure as I look back that I have been suffering with the effects of yeast starting in my teen years!
A couple of years ago I developed a condition called Raynauds and from the blood work the doc ordered I have an underlying connective tissue disease as well. I am hoping you will write something on the connection between yeast and connective tissue diseases.
My question is how long in your opinion can you follow your yeast protocol? Do you think 6 months or as long as it takes? The reason I ask is I still am craving sweets and I am not restricting my diet. I am following your effortless way. I feel as long as I still crave sweets I still have a yeast issue.
Look forward to any suggestions you may have for me.
Thankyou,
Cherie
hi kelley- you are great! i love your pages.
question for you. what do you think of nutritional yeast? its in alot of natural recipes and gives a chessy tast to things with no dairy. will nutritional yeast cause candida yeast issues?
thanks
Hi Kelley,
In the morning,
1 olive leaf (500mg) By Solaray
3 Capryl (360mg each) By Solaray
1 PB8 (14 Billion) By Nutrition Now
3 MSM (500mg each) By Rich's (1 Vitamin C 1000 mg to help the msm)
1 Tablespoon Emulsified Cod Liver Oil (15ml) By Twin Labs
One scoop intestinew in water.
half hour later I drink Dr. Ben Kim's Greens (it has broken cell-wall Chlorella in it) perhaps not enough I will take additional if you think I should.
I do the same in the evening with the exception of 3 Evening Primrose oil instead of the cod liver oil and a teaspoon of colloidal silver instead of greens.
Thanks for checking and tweaking I really appreciate it, Peace, Rena.
Hi Desiree,
The challenge with Raynaud's is knowing what has caused the problem in the first place. There are numerous causes, which means each person needs to find what works for them by treating their particular cause.
Raynaud's is associated with low thyroid and with auto-immune disorders, along with many other causes.
I might test taking one of the flavored emulsified cod liver oil made by TwinLab or Swanson's. I'd start with one tablespoon and increase it to two IF I found it helpful.
Garlic and peppers are also helpful sometimes. I might try my cancer recipe once or twice to see if I noticed any difference. It includes freshly grated habeneros and freshly grated garlic along with an oil.
I might also take Vitalzym for a couple months (five 3 times a day on an empty stomach) to see if that provided any benefit because there may be scar tissue.
Magnesium and ginkgo might also be helpful. I wouldn't necessarily do all these, but they are options in the attempt to see what works and what doesn't.
As for connective tissue, yeast overgrowth often plays a big role in that.
Now you were saying you've been at this faithfully for nearly 4 months, but you still have cravings. There are many possibilities here as well.
You might want to do the "spit test" others have talked about here to see if there is a yeast problem causing the cravings or if it is something else. That would tell a person how long to follow my recipe.
For instance, I don't normally ask folks to skip the artificial sweeteners because for most, their cravings subside and it is no longer an issue. But if I were coming up on the fourth month, that would be a definite thing for me to eliminate entirely...as in zero.
Another thing that can spur hunger is high fructose corn syrup. It increases a compound called ghrelin (sp?) which will keep a person hungry.
It's possible that medications could interfere with the effectiveness of my recipe.
Also, steroid medications usually causes insatiable hunger.
A final thing to consider might be the brand of the olive leaf and caprylic acid. Whatever it is, if I still had yeast after 4 months, I'd get another brand.
The best to you.

Hi Rena,
It looks good to me. I'm not familiar with Dr Ben Kim's greens, so that'll have to be your call. You might try an extra scoop and see how you feel.

Hi Kelley,
Thanks for the quick response. I will try the spit test starting tomorrow morning. I am very careful with my foods and never would ingest anything with artificial sweetner in it. I will use stevia or zylitol though.
As far as pharmaceutical drugs, I do not and will never take them for any reason. I already know that the human body was never intended to use chemicals and toxic substances that only treat symptoms and never really get to the real cause of the illness.
The capryllic acid brand I have been using is Now and the olive leaf is the NS brand. I use the intestinew and the PB8 that you recommend. I also take really good supplements that include magnesium, calcium. I take CoQ10 the albiquinol form also real high quality efa's. Also I take protelytic enzymes and curcumin.
I have conquered my health crisis that I faced 3 years ago pretty much through research and taking charge of my own health. I work in the medical field but only use othomolecular science in my quest back to health.
When I first found your website I knew we were pretty much on the same page but I was so awesomely impressed by your yeast protocol. I knew this was just one more step I needed to take in my journey back to optimal health. Do you think maybe I should be adding a parasite cleanse?
I have always had a weakness for sweets mostly chocolate. I do not have a weight problem. I will continue to use the yeast protocol unless my spit test shows no problem with yeast. I guess my question was mainly to see if sometimes it does take months for the cravings to leave.
Thanks again and if you have any other suggestions let me know. I will keep you posted and will share any positive results with you as well.
Blessings,
Cherie
Hi Desiree,
If I found I still had yeast (from the spit test) I would use a different brand for the olive leaf and the caprylic acid, not that those are bad brands although I'm not crazy about "NOW," but because they sure aren't working for you.
If you find the yeast is clear, then it might be that there is something in chocolate other than the sugar that your body needs. I know that would be a curse to have but somebody has to have it. ;-)
Theobromine is a compound that's been isolated in chocolate that is supposed to have beneficial effects.
The best to you.

Yours is a great service.
Regarding Reynaud's. Since I have been taking 4 drops of Lugols solution daily, my Reynaud's symptoms seem to have disappeared. My feet and hands are warm, and I am happy. Of course, I take many other supplements--food source--but the Lugol's is the only new thing, and so I give it the credit.
Thanks, Marilyn!
Since Desiree mentioned she has low thyroid, that might be just the thing she needs!

This site is getting more and more interesting as the comments, questions and contributions pour in!
to Marilyn: I just started Lugols' solution, too, for hypothryroidism, but my doc told me to paint it on my stomach rather than take it internally. Marilyn, how long have you been taking yours? I've read about doing an enema with Lugols too, which is supposed to get rid of lots of mucous but I haven't tried that yet.
Thanks to all,
Clover
I've been following your protocol for about 1 month. Was wondering if anyone had a problem with their stomach getting bigger before it got smaller? About a week into the regime I've noticed an increase in stomach girth. Very frustrating and too coincidental to be anything but. What could be the reason? Should I continue? Can hardly zip my pants that fit comfortably weeks ago. The only change has been adding the products you mentioned and following it to the letter. Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Hi Kelley,
I did the spit test this morning and it does indicate a positive for yeast. I am going to order a different caprylic acid and continue on the protocol for another month or two. I do have great faith in it so hopefully the new caprylic acid will do the job. Is there a particular brand you could recommend?
I love the comment you made regarding the chocolate....that would be a good curse :-)
Marilyn-thanks for the suggestion regarding the Raynauds. I just ordered the 3% lugols solution and am going to give it a try. It really does make sense for me because of the hypothyroidism and the Raynauds!
Blessings to all,
Cherie
Hi JEP, Now that one is a puzzler!
Are you having a harder time with bowel movements or fewer bowel movements?
It doesn't sound like it, but by any chance are you eating more? Maybe holiday treats? Egg nog? This isn't fair to you, nd no one should take my questions as meaning they answer is yes. I'm just tossing stuff out there, so I look good. ;-)
Meanwhile, I'd drink more water and and sneak in an extra PB-8 or two, even though the botttle says not to exceed 2 a day.
The best to you.

Hi Desiree: I had really good results with NOW Capryllic Acid but I was careful with my diet and did restrict myself to non-yeast inspiring foods. The cravings didn't disappear right away and I did indulge myself occasionally. But I did make a decision to help the products along by eating better and the two approaches worked out well. I am pretty much yeast free now.
Good luck with your Lugols. I got the 6% kind. Let us know how you progress.
Clover
Hi Clover,
Many thanks for the comments. This is such an awesome forum........it helps so much to share information. I am anxious to get the Lugols I ordered. Was a bit confused on the different percent solutions. Have you been taking the 6% for some time? Can I ask what source or brand you use?
Blessings,
Cherie
Hi Kelley,
I am interested in following your protocol but where I am from there are very limited choices. I bought/found these products:-
1. EAS L-Glutamine Powder
2. Solgar Caprylic Acid
3. Solgar Olive leaf extract
4. Renew Life Ultimate Flora 15 billion adult and 50 billion critical care
5. Renew Life multi-Enzyme formulas.
Are these products good?
Thanx,
Gbird
Hi GBird,
That looks good to me. I've always liked Solgar and Renew Life. AES should make a good glutamine.
The best to you.

Hi kelley,
Thank you so much for your reply. I will report back with my progress every now and then. Thanx.
Hi Kelley,
With the talk about iodine from a couple of poster's, I decided to do a little checking, and I have found iodine to be a good yeast killer also. You probably knew this and can't advocate it into the protocol because if there is no deficiency, then added iodine supplements could cause problems.
I have to tell you a little story, I hope you don't mind, you may find it amusing.
I have no doctor per say, but I do on occasion get blood work done at these walk in clinic types. About 6 years ago, I suspected I might have a thyroid problem, so I went to get it tested at a clinic. The nurse practitioner gave me a test ( I can't remember exactly, but I think it was a TSH). The test came back normal, and from what I understand, the test she gave is unreliable. When I came back in for the reading of the test, she automatically signed me up to do a woman's health screening, and quickly wanted me to get my feet in those stirrups. I told her that is not what I came here for, I just wanted to know about my thyroid, that's when she told me, the test were normal, but she admitted my thyroid was enlarged. The moral to this story is for the past two day's I've been following the other ladies leads, and put a few drops of iodine in my greens drinks in the morning. I have two kinds that I just happen to have in my refrigerator, One is Called Detoxified iodine, and the other is Losol Iodine. I don't know what is best, so I just use 2 drops of each. I plan on doing this everyday for the next couple of weeks, and then perhaps just once or twice a week for maintenance. What do you think Kelley? Peace, Rena.
Hi Rena,
Actually, I was unfamiliar with the use of Iodine to fight yeast. But it sounds like it has good backing.
It's important to keep in mind that killing the yeast is one of vital three parts to my recipe. The holes must be repaired and the yeast restored, too. Miss any of the three parts and the problem is not solved.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
Thank you Kelley,
By all means, I do not plan on stopping the rest of the recipe, and rely on the iodine. I will be adding the iodine in addition to the rest of the protocol. The recipe you give has been way to beneficial to stop now. Peace, Rena.
you don´t say anything about dosages. How much of everything does one take? If its different from person to person... how do i know what is right for me? for the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid it says to take for two months, but the rest of themn? They are on going?
Thanks for this? I am excited to try it
Hi Lola,
As much as I'd like to offer dosages, there are all sizes of people and all types of situations. One person might have been subjected to horrendous amounts of antibiotics or steroids or birth control pills. Someone else might have a minor issue and is just trying to get on top of it early.
My recipe calls for one each of the caprylic acid and olive leaf extract for the first week or two, and two PB-8's along with two doses per day of the glutamine OR the IntestiNew.
Each person can vary the recipe from there as they experiment with it.
I'd take the PB-8 forever. The IntestiNew seems to provide the results needed in a month or two: no bloating, gas, cramps, etc. As for the rest, I would take them for as long as I needed ,but stop when I felt like my yeast was under control.
One can always return to the recipe if needed later on. Today's meat probably has tiny amounts of antibiotic residue in it, so our exposure to antibiotics can be continual unless we are eating organic meat.
The best to you.

Hello, can I just say that your article on Yeast intrigued me enought to try it! I suffer with Rheumatoid Arthritis and stopped taking methotrexate over a year ago in an attempt to fight it with natural products. Since reading your article I have found that this yeast problem may well play a very big part in RA sufferers. There has definitely been a strange improvement in my condition since trying your method, I have managed to last almost a week without taking my regular pain killers and I am feeling on top of the world! My only reservation is that after two months of your regime my bloating has actually got worse? and although I never really had any craving problems I am still very much enjoying my couple of pints of bitter (beer) nightly.
I look forwrad to your thoughts?
Hi Brian,
It's great to hear that this program is helping your rheumatoid arthritis! Maybe everyone can spread the word.
I might add some multi-digestive enzymes to see if that helped me. Also, I'm not sure what role the beer might play. The alcohol could be killing the friendly bacteria. And it is full of yeast...that's how they make beer. Sorry, mate.
Even though you've been drinking it before and not noticed, it's possible that the dying yeast is providing food for the beer yeast.
The only way to find out would be to quit the beer for a week and see if that effects things. Or did I just lose my best friend with that suggestion? ;-)
The best to you.

Hi Desiree and Rena:
Yes, this is an awesome site! Thanks, as always to our dear Kelley!!!
Re. iodine--I'm just learning about it myself and can share what I know. Maybe if we all research and share our information we'll get the whole story.
My naturopath directed me to put a few drops of iodine on my stomach. She likes to have people apply it on a fatty part, like the stomach or breast instead of taking it internally because she feels that sometimes stuff gets lost travelling through the long journey through the digestive track. However many others seem to think that taking it internally is fine.
The iodine my dr. gave me happened to be Lugols. When that ran out I tried to get more at a drugstore. That's when the plot thickens...I bought what they had which is called Provodone Iodine Solution. I asked my dr. what the difference between the two kinds are and she didn't know. So I googled around and found that there is a real difference between the two. I have the chemical info written down somewhere but I couldn't find that paper right now. I will search further and if I find it, I'll send another comment. The basic thing seems to be that Povidone is for external use only like for cuts, scratches and minor skin wounds.
Lugol's seems to be a very different substance. According to the info I've read, it was in use widely for a long time but several years ago the FDA took it off the market when it was discovered that people were using it to manufacture meth-amphetamine! I did find it on the internet in two different strengths. I finally decided to buy the stronger kind which was available through Amazon.com. I chose this because it had some good customer reviews and also because I decided to order through Amazon rather than some unknown company. You might want to read what others say about it on Amazon.
I have only been using it about a week. I just put a few drops on my stomach each day. I understand that if a person's system needs iodine then the yellow stain will be absorbed completely within 24 hours. If it remains there after that time, then the body has enough.
However....a pharmacist I spoke to said that this "test" is not accurate and that it is possible to overdose on it. He had never heard of Lugols' though so I don't know if I trust his opinion. He warned me not to use it in an enema...but again I don't think he really knows much about it. (I haven't done the enema yet, though.)
The Lugols' I got through Amazon is from The Breath of Life. 1-800-311-7837 is on the label. Maybe you could call them directly. They sent a lot of printed material with the bottle. One thing they say is that if your body becomes saturated with iodine "you will find that there is an increase of moisture in the nose."
The info they sent included a lot of stuff about the benefits of Lugols enemas. Apparently it "grabs" mucous and pulls it out and a lot of people have had great results that way.
I am still pondering the connection between thyroid problems and candida. I was tested for hypothyroidism and my tests showed "normal". However the standards for what it normal have been changed recently so that a lot of people who were once considered to be in the normal range really are hypothyroid. Again I do not have the numbers at hand but if you are interested, Rena, go to Mary Shomon's website which gives all that information. She has a comprehensive site about thyroid. She doesn't discuss Candida though or Iodine. Her focus is more on Armour's thyroid.
Rena, do you have a sub-normal temperature? Do you tend to be cold? Those are classic symptoms for hypothyroidism. Again, I recommend Mary Shomon's website if you think you have that.
My question to Kelley (assuming that you have read this far...) is..what is the connection between mucous and candida? There is another whole school of thought in which most immune system problems (fibromyalgia, chronic fatiigue, etc) are treated with guaifenisin (sp) which is a mucous buster. They get it from Mucinex. I know several people who claim that their chronic fatigue and fibro were cured by this way.
I investigated that several years ago but chose not to go that route. Now, having learned about the mucous busting properties of Lugols' iodine, I'm wondering if that would be a good thing for me. I'm still cold and have a sub-normal temp.
My friend who has environmental sensitivity feels she has lots of mucous and that it sort of "travels" around her body--sometime in her sinus, sometimes in her chest, etc. Sounds wierd but she is wondering and so am I, if eliminating yeast is the same thing as eliminating mucous. Or vice/versa.
I hope this doesn't further confuse people---! My intention is to clarify!
Clover
Hi Clover,
Yes, I read "this far!" and all the way to the end. Great stuff!
Now to your question. Excess mucous is the #1 way that the body tries to immobilize anything that doesn't belong. Sure enough, the yeast and it's 80 kinds of poop don't belong.
When there's too much yeast, we end up with too much mucous for the body to wash out easily, and it gets produced constantly and also gets dried out. This leads to scar tissue over time.
As you can well imagine, our organs don't work as well as they should when there is scar tissue in them.
Now, can we talk about something else? ;-) Actually, this is necessary and important. We can get a rough gauge of how we are doing based on the mucous we are dealing with.
I'm tempted to get some of that iodine and try an enema. I'll put that on my list.
The best to you.

Thanks Kelley
I would be crazy not to try what you said after coming this far. I will let you know how it goes.
Brian
Hi Clover,
Thank you so much for the information.
That's the real kicker when I was tested and it said "normal" for me too, yet she said my thyroid was enlarged. It's like since the test said one thing, she dismissed the obvious on my enlarged thyroid. That's when I decided to self treat with iodine. I went the painting route for several months, didn't get the results I wanted, so that's when I bought the internal stuff, and did get good results. I warmed up pretty quickly, within a few weeks, did maintenance for a while, then just forgot about it. That's why I was so grateful that you ladies brought up the topic, it gave me an aha moment.
The painting method might very well work for you, and I would stick with that if it does. My body does seem to like the internal better, I'm even producing snot again LOL. I am so glad you and Kelley brought up the mucus topic, it is all coming together in making sense to me.
I wouldn't put a lot into the meth thing the FDA tried to pull. The truth would be that they tried to stop Lugols because it works plain and simple, Peace, Rena.
Hi Kelley
I want to say I am amazed that you find the time respond to every comment and so fast!
Getting back to the so called "INCURABLE" Rheumatoid Arthritis. You might find this information on Candidiasis very interseting. It is part of a 51 page article about curing RA. But I wont bore with all that. Thanks for all your help, I will keep you informed of my progress. Brian
It probably helps to remember to actually add the information! woops
Chapter VIII
Candidiasis
A treatment that virtually all arthritics should consider as part of their overall "get well" program, and to be used simultaneously with The Rheumatoid Disease Foundation protocol, is that against Candidiasis. Candidiasis, a yeast/fungus organism that seems to be everywhere, was first defined as a set of manifesting symptoms or syndrome by Dr. Orion Truss, M.D. of Birmingham, Al.
Subsequent investigations by many physicians seems to have verified Truss's findings, and slowly but surely it is being accepted by the ultra-conservative medical establishment as a properly defined and diagnosed disease.
Candidas albicans invades various parts of bodily tissues, resulting in localized infections. Common sites of infection are the mouth as in infant Thrush, gastrointestinal tract, vagina, urinary tract, prostate gland and skin and fingernails and toenails.
Under normal conditions your body is able to resist this invasion, as it does other germs. However, whenever various substances weaken the immunological system, the yeast/fungus organism begins to spread, and in the spreading creates virtual havoc throughout the body parts and systems.
The yeast/fungus invasion may cripple the immune system so that it can no longer repel invaders. It can create allergies to chemicals and foods. It is believed that it invades the intestinal wall where toxins from microorganisms and protein molecules from your food enter the blood stream, being there recognized by antibodies as a foreign antigen. Because proteins are derived from common DNA (gene molecule) structure, each time a new protein enters directly into the bloodstream, it, too, can become recognized as a foreign invader, and thus a "cross-reactivity" occurs, causing one to have increasingly more food allergies.
Yeast, remember, feeds on sugars and carbohydrates that easily convert to sugars. In turn, yeasts produce a series of chemical products as waste among which are acetaldehyde and ethanol. Ethanol is alcohol, and there are cases of people on record who have never drunk a drop of alcohol yet are daily inebriated. Acetaldehyde is produced as the alcohol breaks down and is about six times more toxic to brain tissue than ethanol. These two chemicals are probably responsible for the following effects, according to Dr. Orion Truss:
Cell membrane defects, damage to red and white blood cells and other problems. Enzyme destruction. Enzymes are the key to breaking down foods in the body so that they can be utilized as nourishment. Abnormal hormone response. Hormones regulate your bodily functions.
Some of the symptoms caused by Candidas albicans are these:
Allergic reactions. Gastrointestinal problems: bloating and gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, gastritis, gastric ulcers, constipation, and many others. Respiratory system: sore throat, sore mouth, contribution to sinus infections, bronchial infections and pneumonia. Cardiovascular system. palpitations, rapid pulse rate, pounding heart. Genitourinary system: vaginitis, frequent urination, lack of bladder control, itchy rashes, etc. Musculoskeletal system: muscle weakness, leg pains, muscle stiffness, slow coordination, and so on. Central Nervous system: Headaches, poor brain function, poor short-term memory, fuzzy thinking and so on. Fatigue is extremely common as impaired metabolism doesn't enable the body to get enough fuel and impaired enzyme functioning inhibits energy production. Weight gain is common.
As can be observed by reviewing the above characteristic symptoms (which are not complete) many similar symptoms may "present" with Rheumatoid Disease. It is often difficult to discriminate between one cause and another as diseases operate on the same tissues, the same organs, producing similar symptoms, in similar ways.
I recommend that you read the books: The Yeast Syndrome, John Parks Trowbridge, M.D. and Morton Walker, D.P.M., available through Bantam books, The Missing Diagnosis by C. Orion Truss, M.D., P.O. Box 26508, Birmingham, Al. 35226; The Yeast Connection by William G. Crook, M.D., Professional Books, P.O. Box 3494, Jackson, Tn 38301 (also available at book stores and health food stores; ISBN: 0-394-74700-3); Back to Health by Dennis W. Remington, M.D. and Barbara W. Higa, R.D., Vitality House International, Inc., 3707 North Canyon Road, #8-C, Provo, Utah 84604 (ISBN: 0-912547-03-0).
Rheumatoid Disease spreads with a weakening of the immunological system. Candidas albicans spreads with a weakening of the immunological system.
Rheumatoid Disease as well as Candidiasis seems to lead to food allergies and other kinds of allergies over time.
Both diseases produce similar symptoms in many bodily tissues.
Both diseases are systemic in nature.
A Candidiasis victim does not necessarily have Rheumatoid Disease, but a Rheumatoid Disease victim almost certainly suffers from Candidiasis.
Candidiasis spreads with the use of almost any kind of surgery where antibiotics were used, or if you've been given antibiotics orally for any purpose, you probably suffer from some degree of Candidiasis. Why? Because the antibiotics kill off the "good-guys" bacteria required in your intestinal tract for good nutrition, the yeast/fungus spreads, taking the "good-guys" place, and sending rootlets into the intestinal mucosa, and helping to age your total system.
Candidiasis is usually controlled through a combination of diet control and medicines some of which are prescription and some non-prescription. Usually the physician who suspects Candidiasis also attempts to strengthen the immunological system by one means or another.
It is important to replace the yeast in the intestinal tract with Lactobacili as well. Remember my earlier recommendation to use Lactibacilus acidophilus when taking medicines we recommend for Rheumatoid Disease? We stated that this supplemental organism helped to metabolize certain medicines, like Metronidazole. Here is another reason to take it. Lactibacilus acidophilus helps digest food and especially milk sugar. Some varieties also synthesize vitamin B and some reduce serum cholesterol levels.
While increasingly mounting evidence is being accumulated by establishment medical practitioners that Candidiasis is a real syndrome, much controversy still exists. Allergists, immunologists, and gynecologists see this syndrome as a fictional one, probably because the manifestations are seen too often, the treatments too frequent, the testing for its presence and effect too inadequate, and because almost everyone suddenly has become an expert in its presence or absence.
Most "testing" for the presence of Candidiasis takes place by means of a questionnaire which the patient fills out and is then evaluated by either a physician or a medical technician. If a score of a certain amount is reached, one is at risk for having the syndrome, otherwise probably not.
There are accredited laboratories that perform accurate, objective testing for the presence of the organism. Such tests may be done in two stages, the first called the Micro-ELISA technique that detects circulating levels of Candida antigens, Candida antibodies IgG, IgA and IgM, and immune complexes. In the second stage of the test, the patient's lymphocytes (white cells) are challenged with Candida to evaluate inhibition of lymphocyte multiplication by budding (blastogenesis).
According to one medical doctor, Candidiasis was adequately treated in those patients who tested positive by the above test within three months by use of Ketoconazole, without any diet being required. He felt that it was "ludicrous to assume that one can 'starve Candida out' by avoidance of sugar, yeast and moldy foods". (Ketoconazole is not one of our recommended 5-nitroimidazoles used for Rheumatoid Disease treatment, despite similarity in name.)
The same physician reported that those who tested negative by the above test (about
I appreciate everyone's quick responses! Rena--I'm interested in the fact that your body warmed up by taking the iodine internally. Is your temp normal now? I may go that route if I don't see results with the tummy painting. However I may do the enemas to get rid of mucous first so that there is a clear track down there. The reason my doc wants to avoid that route is because there is so much mucous down there in most people. I add here that my skin has turned a bright healthy looking pink in the past few days...It could be the Lugols or it could be the colloidal silver. Or it could be Christmas! :-)
Kelley--thanks for the additional info on mucous. It's all beginning to come together now to make sense. Please let us know how the Lugols' enema comes out! (What--you don't want to talk about poop at Christmas?!) :-)
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the info!
Yeah, a person can get a lot done if they don't turn on their TV (except for Gators vs. Sooners on August 8th. If you have an emergency that evening, call 911. I won't be here to take your call. :-)
While the article focuses on RA (rheumatoid arthritis) and it's connection to candidiasis, in fact all auto-immune disorders can be caused by too much yeast.
After the yeast pokes holes in the intestinal lining, partially undigested protein can slip through. The immune system mistakes the protein for a parasite and tries to neutralize it.
But the constant process of protein slipping through becomes too much for the immune system and so the immune system, probably due to the exposure of the yeast poop such as the acetaldehyde and ethanol and other poop, the immune system malfunctions and starts to attack healthy tissue.
For one person, it's RA. For another it's fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, and so on. There are about 100 known auto-immune diseases. A good first step in treating any of them would be to see if yeast is involved.
Me? I'd follow my recipe to see if that didn't relieve the problem.
Considering the almost universal exposure to antibiotics we've had in the Western World, my recipe could help quite a few people. Maybe someone you know. ;-) Let them know.
The best to you.

Hello.
I've been suffering with health issues practically all my life and have been doing research for sometime now. There is a possibility I believe, that I was born with yeast or candida. While beginning to detox I came down with what I believe was mono in October and another virus or something in November where I was very sick and had an up to 103 fever for 6 days, this month it was a bad cold and now a lingering sinus infection.
I discovered your hub and have been coming back to it again and again, gathering more information. I am trying to take in as much as I can before I begin your program. I believe your program is also diagnostic as if it does not work, then something else is amiss. I am currently healthy compared to what I was and had been in prior years but still have constant sinus drainage and also get sinus infections easily.
I almost forgot...I have found signs of parasites which appeared when I began to take garlic capsules.
I plan to begin when I am able to afford to gather all the things needed.
I will continue to come and read and absorb in the meantime and hopefully when I do begin and do become well...will be able to share with others. When one becomes aware of things such as this, you notice it in others health as well.
Thank you for being so giving of your information that others who cannot afford to buy the books, etc will benefit as well. I am most grateful.
Bless you....
Hi Clover,
I don't know my body temp now, don't know what happen to my thermometer. When I checked it many years ago, it was below and I remember not ever feeling warm in the winter, like now. We had a slight warm up here this past week, where everyone at work was wearing short sleeves, and here I am still wearing my thermals and still not warm enough. I am hoping by next week where it will get really cold again, that the iodine will kick in and help me warm up like it did many years ago.
Hi Ruralgalnebraska,
It does get costly, and keep in mind you need to replenish supplies approximately ever 2 weeks. Some things you may need to sooner, depends on the dose you take and how many in the bottles. Do you get a tax refund? Perhaps you can set a couple hundred to the side for your supplies. Until you can come up with the funds maybe you can start with the PB8, they are pretty cheap, and you can start recolonising your intestines.
Hi Kelley,
When I get my tax refund, I am going to participate in the "Lend it to End it" Program, I think it is a wonderful program, God bless you Kelley. By the way, I am originally from Oklahoma, so you have a rival on your hub....Gooooo Sooners!!!! Peace, Rena.
Welcome Rural Gal,
The least expensive item would be the caprylic acid which might cost $10 at Vitamin World, for about 90 or 100 tablets. That can last quite a while if a person were to take only one a day for a month or two. It's not the whole recipe, but if a person has dealt with this all their life, it might not be a bad idea to start really slowly.
That way, there might be no unpleasant episodes. Just reducing the yeast overgrowth can help a person to feel better.
The best to you.

I still recall when they played FSU for the National Championship. I had never seen a perfect game played before by one team until the Sooners beat the Seminoles 13-2. It was disgusting. LOL! The Sooner won every play when they were on defense...they never missed a tackle. It was painful to watch.
This year the Sooners have a quarterback who is actually a robot programmed to throw the ball in the perfect spot with each pass. That's just not fair.
Thank goodness the Sooner defense is comprised of 11 marshmallows. They suck! The Gators actually have a defense...but is there a defense against perfect passes? I'm sure one day Bradford will throw a bad pass...it just hasn't happened yet. I'm predicting a final score in the low 100's.
The best to you. Scratch that...CHOMP!

Greetings, Ms. Eidem!
I hope you are doing well.
Your's is one of the best sites I've found concerning yeast. Many years ago, I was chronically exposed to natural gas and plasticides. I ended up with infections (destroyed immunity)_for which I was given antibiotics_which_made everything worse. After months of suffering and getting ready to just buy a shovel and dig my grave, I found a chemical sensitivity specialist in Corpus Christi, Texas. He was my savior. That was back in about 1986_when concerned doctors decided many people had a "yeast" problem, espcially because of "broad spectrum" antibiotics. I was started on Nystatin_the only thing (a natural soil mold?) that helped so many people recover, although, I believe, it has since been decided that it's hard on the liver. After gradually increasing the Nystatin powder over the week and staying away from carbs, I was mentally losing it. I called the doctor and he told me it was Herxheimer? reaction_die-off yeast chemicals hitting the system. He told me I'd get over it soon. I did_and felt like a new woman, regained my sanity, and started regaining my health. I know when I'm getting a yeast invasion and that the yeast know how to get me to give them what they want! You are sooooo___ right in your information.
This doctor, also, put me on powdered Vit. C, flax oil, and L-glutathione (a chemical in the detox chain which became totally depleted in me_from what I understand). I spent a fortune on blood tests and allergy testing. I had become a "universal reactor"_reacting to multiple chemicals (foods, plants, petroleum, etc.) in the environment. I had what was a new "disease"_MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) or EI (Environmental Illness), among other new names for which many books were written. I don't hear much about it any more. It was considered a fad by many doctors_who would say such sufferers were psycho, that is was "all in their head"_which, incidently, it was_the brain was chemically imbalanced from the yeast toxins.
Well, I eventually moved out of a rent house that had natural gas seeping into it through cracks beneath tiles in the floor (the soil had filtered out the added mercaptin? odorant), so we couldn't detect the gas (rotten egg smell). That took testing by the local home-use gas company. With diet change, the Nystatin, and supplements, I still just couldn't regain my former health. My hair had begun falling out, my skin looked like a shedding lizard's, and I was down from 125 to 103 lbs. My brain was so dysfunctional, that I couldn't even think clearly enough to think what to do. Every day was a hell that destroyed my mind and body, my relationships with my family (who did think I was just crazy). I had constant_what they used to call "brain fog" and that spacey feeling in my brain.
About a month after moving, I felt 80% better_away from the natural gas and then the diet and supplements did work better. I had never had allergies, that I was aware of, until after a previous gas exposure_in another rent house. I think that exposure started my nightmare and the last one was a horrible repeat of the mental and physical suffering. I still react to colognes, fragrances of all kinds, most petroleum products, including many plastics (soft_plasticizers?), mold, algae, plants, pesticides, etc. I am especially sensitive to phenoxyethanol and benzophenone?_found even in baby oil and many fragrances. Be aware of those two chemicals_please. Exposure and suffering taught me a lot about chemicals.
I believe the chemical exposure, antibiotics, and resulting carb craving systemic yeast_and those little critters will DEMAND carbs (they need it/crave it and will make you do the same)_almost ruined my life forever. It took me almost five years after moving, avoidance of toxic chemicals, and careful attention to a carb free (as possible) diet to regain my health. Yeast will sneak up on you and take over. I've learned the signs. When I start wanting more carbs, I know they are in control! It's like any other -ism_the more they/you get, the more they/you want. Actually, those yeast help decompose dead bodies, so they do come in handy! And, I believe, they will push you in that direction, if given a chance_when you end up with diabetes, immune system failure, organ failure, etc. After all, they are only doing what they are supposed to do in the chain of life. Carbohydrates_simple and complex_are naturally found in fruits, veggies, and honey (most grains are processed). Most humans live on a processed diet these days. Not good, in my opinion_sugar, sugar everywhere in everything_and now we have the HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP in many, many products. You might want to check that out___drive yourself to diabetes quick, I hear. Check out the upsetting effects of anti-depressents while you are at it.
I managed to live through all the medical ignorance about yeast and was lucky enough to find a doctor who knew all the pioneers in that specialty. He saved my life and I am forever indebted to him.
Did you see the news a few years ago about the woman who should have been recovering from an illness, but was dying? One smart doctor decided it was the IV antibiotic feeding yeast. He was right_saved her life!
My best to all who visit your site. If one notices the skin losing it's beautiful, healthy glow, the hair becoming less lustrous, more little illnesses and chemical sensitivities, confusion, mind fog, sinus/bronchial problems, depression followed by sugar happy "highs" or sleep, leg or knee aches (from yeast die-off toxins) hitting the system, constipation, bloating, dizziness, and many other disease symptoms that yeast over-growth mimic, try to remember_yeast is only doing what it does to live_and reproduce. Just cutting out the carbs will help one create a better relationship with our yeast friends. Remember, from my experience, cutting out all carbs too quickly might make one feel horrible as the yeast die-off toxins flood the system. If one has any other health probems, it might be best to consult your personal physician for guidance. If he/she says it's all in your head, that is a mental health possibility, but one can usually tell the difference. I'd "run" to a more supportive doctor. Please don't let doctors just treat symptoms_some actually do find the CAUSE and sometimes it's just our little yeast inhabitants.
AND, it IS "all in your head" sometimes_toxic brain chemicals from yeast. I can remember when my mind couldn't communicate very well with me or the world. It was unable to be at home in my physical brain. As far as I'm concerned the mind is separate from the brain_spirit, life-stream, me/you, whatever you are convinced it is. The mind/body relationship becomes quite clear at times. A trigger such as antibiotics or just indulging in too many carbs, then yeast over-growth, symptoms, a mind that seems outside the body and not in control. We can think through the brain fog and help heal ourselves. We just have to give our body a chance.
May all be well and happy.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor/physician. Personal experience and personal opinions.
I have been doing research for quite some time.
I have learned to take things into my own hands and not allow any docter to make me feel I'm a nut case because I don't want to take pharacueticals any longer. I have learned, in part, from watching my husband who is now a diabetic and still trusting the docs and the only change made was taking meds.
Part of my problem is lack of support from family and friends including my husband. So I guess I will just have to do things slowly.
I was planning on purchasing the supplies needed for this program one thing at a time and actually I did purchase some Yeast Clean by NSI from Vitacost. This contains the Caprylic acid (2,160 mg) along with other things. The bottle says one serving is 6 capsules so would I take 6 capsules per day? I wasn't able to find the Caprylic acid alone at Vitacost and didn't know about iherb.com when ordering.
The other things listed are: Vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, DGL Licorice root, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Gp Garlic, and Pau D' Arco.
I've already been taking a multi vitamin, B complex, Calcium, Magnesium and Vit B, and extra Vitamin C.
So until I can start getting the other things, you think I could start with this Yeast Clean and it would help somewhat?
I feel the mono I had (self diagnosed from what I found online) came about as a healing crisis as I had begun to make changes in my diet such as no grain, no sugar, and had added the supplements I shared above plus garlic. I became extremely sick and felt very heavy in my legs. I also had a bad sinus infection such as Ive never had before at the same time.
So taking things a bit easy in the beginning sounds like a good plan for me.
I initially discovered it could be candida issues when on a diet called, "The Fat Flush Plan" by Ann Louise Gittleman. Much taken away for foods and then slowly added back. When I added Ezekial bread I had a reaction of chronic fatigue. That used to plague me quite frequently but not any more.
I really do not feel too bad physically as have seen great improvements just by taking supplements and also not eating as bad as before. (yet am back on some grains and sugars, coffee, etc)
I've had this stubborn 35 pounds I yet need to get off and since I already know parasites is part of the problem...working to get a healthy gut could very possibly be my answer to the weight loss yet needed.
If you think taking this Yeast Clean would be a good idea to start out with...what would you suggest for a second or third addition? I'm guessing it would be the probiotic and the olive leaf extract.
It was interesting to hear that toxins dumping into the bloodstream could cause a liver count to be elevated. Mine was elevated and the docter told me to quit taking the supplements and come back for a second test. I did and the next test it was not elevated. He led me to believe that these supplements were causing me liver damage and here they were doing their job.
Well we are all learning now aren't we? And thank the Lord for that!
It is quite the process for a lay person to have to find these things out on your own. Going to the docter they just want to medicate you and get you coming back. Not only can I not afford to do that financially but I cannot afford to do this for my health!
I am taking control of my own health and it feels very nice indeed to be amongst others who believe in the same.
I look forward to gaining greater health and a clearer mind!
Nice to be here with you all...
Hi Barbara,
It looks like you're thinking and expressing yourself clearly now. Congratulations for waging the battle for so long and under such trying conditions.
I'd probably add either the PB-8 or the glutamine second, if it were me. That way two prongs of the recipe are being taken.
The best to you.

Hello,
I followed the program for 3 weeks, and then one week I could not find Caprylic Acid so i had only olive extract, PB8 and glutamine.
I found this product "Candida Stop" by New Roots Herbal with this formula:
Vitamine A - 6.000 UI
Pau D'Arco (inner bark & wild crafted) extract - 200 mg
Grapefruits Seed extract concentrate - 100 mg
Echinacea Augustifolia Root 4% extract - 750 mg
Caprylic Acid Magnezium - 180 mg
Caprylic Acid Calcium - 180 mg
Caprylic Acid Zinc - 40 mg
Odourless Super garlic - 125 mg
Black Walnut Hulls extract - 64 mg
Suma - 100 mg
Selenium - 50 mcg
Oregano extract - 80 mg
On the bottle says to take 2 capsules 3 time a day and 1 acidophilus 3/day
If I am taking also Olive leaves extract (500 mg/tablet) what is the dose for each product(Candida Stop and Olive Leaves).
I couldn't find Caprylic Acid only (tablets) at any health food store...
Please advise... : "If I would be me.... I would take...." :)
Thanks so much !
Hi JC,
The ingredients look like a combo of candida and parasite cleanse. That sounds good to me. Vitamin World carries caprylic acid by itself. I'm surprised it can't be found anywhere where you live.
The best to you.

1) So do I still need the olive extract if I take the "above combo" ( which is kind of expensive by the way $40 CAD for 90 capsules) ?
2) Also, I was offered "Caprylic acid" liquid ... this one http://www.inno-vite.com/en/product/detail.php?pro is it a good replacement for caprylic acid capsules by Vitamin World ?
Hi JC,
I would take one of the olive leaf extract each day along with the other, if it were me.
I'm not familiar with the liquid caprylic acid, so that would be up to you.
The best to you.

Hello Kelley, very informative article.
I have a couple of questions for you. I recently started taking teaspoons of Coconut Oil as a supplement (i believe i have hypothyroidism). A quick wikipedia of carprylic acid shows that it is found in coconuts. Do you feel that I need to take both to have success with your method? FYI since taking the coconut oil, my hunger has gone down - and this is only after taking it for 5 days.
Second, is there a way to know if the yeast has fully passed through your system? In my stool I have had some type of non-typical substance appear and I thought it might be mucus. However now that I read your article, I am entertaining the notion that it could be yeast as well.
Hi Marty,
If you're having success with the coconut oil, then you might not need the caprylic acid.
Many people are using the "spit test" to see how far they are progressing. You keep a clean glass of water by your bed. When you arise, spit in the glass, then observe over the next hour if there are 'legs' forming in the glass from the sputum. The more yeast there is, the more legs that will be present.
The best to you.

Dear Kelley,
I have bought the supplements that you recommended and I hope that they will aleviate my seborrheic dermatitis. I researched all four of the supplements, and one source cautioned that the olive leaf extract might kill some of the bacteria delivered by the PB8. What do you think about this?
Thanks!
Hi Kelley and All,
What a great week I had. My rash has completely gone from my legs and stomach, just a minor flair-up on my back one time. Energy level still high, cravings still gone. I spent 6 hours baking homemade from scratch cookies, chocolate chip, and didn't even want any, just pinched off a bite from my grandsons to make sure all was well, but didn't even enjoy it. Before, I would have made a meal out of them. My spit test looks way better than the down turn of last week. Shorter legs at the top, only slight fog at the bottom, and that took almost the full hour for the fog at the bottom. I forgot to weigh myself to see if I lost anymore weight, will report that next week I suppose, too late now, already had 3 cups of green tea, plus my yeast killer regiment.
Still slight problems sleeping, sinus infection letting me know it's there, but still improving none the less.
End of week 6 starting week 7.
Merry Christmas everyone, may it be a yeast free New Year, Peace, Rena.
Hi Kelley, I started your yeast killing regimen about 3 weeks ago. I tend to overdo things, and have been taking quite a lot of the caprylic acid and olive leaf extract, as well as the other elements of the program. About a week ago I tried the saliva test and there were long "legs" reaching from the saliva to the bottom of the glass. Quite creepy, really. Then, about 2 days ago I came down with severe, debilitating fatigue, along with headaches. I think this is a "die-off" reaction. It has been so bad that I have been sleeping 15 hours a day. I am stopping the caprylic acid and olive leaf extract for just a day or two, until I feel better, then I plan to start back on a lower dose. But what is really interesting is that I did another saliva test this morning, and there were no legs to be seen at all at first! Only after about 15 minutes could one very fine leg be seen. So now what I think has happened is that there has been a massive die-off of candida that has made me really sick. It's been very unpleasant, but how great is that??? Thank you so much for the program! I plan to continue (more slowly!) until the saliva test is completely clear.
Hi Kelly,
this is my regimine now, before reading this. On gym days while working out i blend up and dring during my workout:
1 banana--1 tsp l-glutamine (4500mg) green superfoods (which contain enzymes and probiotics)(i use boku brand) 1 tsp coconut oil-1 tsp vit. C powder, pure natural, not synthetic ascorbic acid.
when i'm done i have breakfast (usually oatmeal and oat bran) and take PB8-candida clear and all zyme, and the same 3 with my lunch. On non gym days i do the same without the banana. Will this work as well ?
thx
Mike
Hi Corrie,
That's some story! A lot of folks will relate to your 'boot camp!' It's great to hear you got some great rewards after your trial by fire.
Your new strategy sounds real good, too. Keep going and this time enjoy the ride.
The best to you.

Great hub!
Hello again Kelley
I haven't actually tried the beer avoidance thing yet but I promise I do intend to in the new year :-) However, I have just read something that has concerned me a lot about Candida, you see when I told you I was following your program I did not tell you that for my PROBIOTIC I was taking a "live culture" milk drink called Nourish Kefir (and lots of it!) Well, I have just read that Kefir AND milk are among the foods that actually encourage yeast growth? Does this mean I have to cut out this drink too?! :-( (Wot No beer or Kefir!) Incidentally I am from the UK.
Brian
Thanks Kelley! Today I am feeling much better, but interestingly, a few "legs" can now be seen in the saliva test. So I guess the Candida is not gone yet! I plan to start taking the supplements again today, but at lower levels. Thanks for everything and I will keep you posted!
Hello_again, Ms. Eidem_and everyone!
I hope everyone is keeping warm. It's cold in south Texas_brrrrrr. I don't plan to work in the yard today, so here I am.
I went back over some of these comments and learned a lot. Could you explain the "spit test" to me? I've never heard of that. I used to have trouble finding a doctor who would do the blood, anti-candida test. Most "traditional" doctors don't get the needed reading and it usually shows you're okay as far as candida. The one the MCS doctor I had used gave a more useful reading. I could usually tell them how high it was, before even getting the results. From what I know, the California company who used to do that test has since moved to Houston, Texas. I quit seeing a local doctor, because he was going to send my blood-work to that company and didn't. The local lab had no idea how to run the special test. They knew "of it", but couldn't run it in their lab. That was a waste of money. There used to be a lot of controversy about the anti-candida lab work. Personally, it was always accurate for my body.
Someone mentioned being allergic to "glutamine". I sure hope this person realizes that it might be the delivery system_capsules, soft-gels, etc. One can be very allergic to any chemicals in those little containers. Super sensitive people can even react to any chemicals that leech from the bottle/container (or even bleached cotton balls) into the contents. I learned about the other chemicals in supplements_and additives_the hard way. Also, please, please to meat eaters and milk drinkers, try to buy organic. I don't know if you or anyone on this site has mentioned anything about antibiotics in milk and meat_and hormones_which can cause serious problems for some.
To get back to the allergic reactions/sensitivities, I have to avoid the artificial flavors and colors (especially), as they are petroleum products. Preservatives can be a big problem for me, too. I can't handle MSG, either, and I have to be careful, for like "sugar", some companies just use a different word_like "sucrose"_the same for MSG. They have changed the labeling and some are fooled by it. We have to be careful and read labels_even on supplements.
I guess my point is that people have to be aware of allergies and sensitivities that can support a yeast problem. Believe me, it's takes some serious investigation into what's in our food, water and other drinks, over-the-counter medications, etc. And, for people like me, we have to be careful of laundry detergent, bath soap, paint, floor cleaners, and every other "chemical" we are exposed to. Too much men's/women's cologne can put me in the hospital and it does, certainly, upset my detox system and cause yeast over-growth.
Oh, let's not forget the dyes and other chemicals in our clothing and linens.My son's friend kept waking up with whelps on her body and I suggested she not sleep on dyed, perma-press sheets or to change her laundry detergent_for a start. She ended up spending a small fortune at the doctor's office and in the end was found to be allergic/sensitive to the dye. She could have bought a lot of all-natural, dye-free, cotton/flannel sheets with all that money.
The reason I mention all this is because it's environmental and anything that we are exposed to can be a stress to our body and mind. I have great empathy for everyone who comments on your wonderful site and is trying to feel better and be healthier. We have to look at the whole, big picture about everything we come into contact with or it can be like throwing gas on the fire on one side and throwing water on it on the other. You can take all the anti-histamines you want and if you are still exposed to the problem, you are fighting a continuing battle. Has anyone ever mentioned how our bodies "mask" problems? I can get around men's cologne and develope symptoms while my body is trying to detox it. I might not feel so bad_until later_when I'm in a cologne-free place and my body really starts detoxing, then I feel worse, until my body has regained homeostasis (balance).
What are we breathing? Chemicals from carpeting, plastic furniture, vinyl floors, our own cologne and any other fragrances in our homes, cars, places of work, etc. can cause problems. Are we eating food with antibiotics or hormones in it? Does anything we eat contain other petroleum products like food color and artificial flavors? Are we wearing fragrances or spraying them into our air in the home? My brother reacts to chemicals, also. Before he came to visit, I went through my house and got rid of everything with artificial fragrance. My cupboards were almost empty. After he was here a few days, I started feeling better. I hadn't realized how I'd gradually begun exposing myself again and didn't notice that those products were affecting me. It worked out great for my brother and for me! :)
I read that garlic might destroy too much "good" intestinal flora_like antibiotics do. I believe garlic is a natural antibiotic, anyhow.
You have a wonderful, helpful site, Ms. Eidem. I haven't read enough comments to know what all has been asked or covered. You mention great products and supplements that can sure_as far as my knowledge and experience go_help people regain optimal health. We shouldn't over-look other possible health problems, either, and I'm sure you make that clear to your readers. Some doctors do rule out problems and DO listen to our concerns. I was always told that I had hypo-thyroid problems and would have to take thyroid the rest of my life. Well, my thyroid tests were normal, after I got the candida under control. I, also, had horrible "female" problems. I became a normal, sane, wouldn't bite your head off if you looked at me wrong, female_when I evicted many of the little yeast occupants!
My heart goes out to all of you on this site. I sense that some of you might get a little stressed-out when you can't find a certain product to help you become healthier and happier or when you don't know what to take, how to take it, or what else will help. I know how it is to feel horrible and to worry. Feeling ill is enough stress. Please, don't add worry to it. Of course, the yeast love that_more stress chemicals, more imbalance, more yeast, I suppose. There seem to be a lot of wonderful people on Ms. Eidem's site. It looks like she cares and is there to help. A flat tummy is nice, but feeling great and being healthier is better. I don't think the stress-fat around my middle is just from yeast, although I'm sure they have something to do with it. Stress is their friend. So, please, if you do just one thing that helps, you're on your way to feeling wonderful_physically_and mentally! If I took all the supplements, cut out carbs, and avoided all chemicals for a week, it would probably be a terrible shock to my system. So_enjoy Ms. Eidem's advice and suggestions and remember that the adventure is in the journey. Once you get where you're going and feel so much better, don't take it for granted and think everything is fixed_permanently. Nothing is permanent_not the good or the bad. We get in a "bad" situation with our health_and yeast_but look at all the wonderful, fantastic, compassionate people we meet!
BEST WISHES FOR THE HOLIDIAYS! to you, Ms. Eidem, and everyone. Yes, I do plan to eat some pie for the holidays, but I won't over-do it. Everyone wears more cologne for the season, so that's my avoidance problem. May all be well and happy! Relax. Know that Ms. Eidem is here with suggestions and there are many others here that care.
Always,
Barbara in Texas
Hi Brian,
I'm afraid you'll have to join K.A. (Kefirs Anonymous)! ;-) Only kidding. However, kefir can put weight on a person. I speak from personal experience. That might be why your pants got tight.
You might want to try some probiotics in capsule form...PB-8 if you can get it in the UK...and see if that makes a difference.
I'd be curious if after you've done this for a while if you lose your taste for beer where it goes from two a night to an occasional one now and then. Please let me know.
The best to you.

Hi Jake,
Sorry I missed answering your question earlier about olive leaf extract. There are different kinds of bacteria: Aerobic and anaerobic.
I don't think the olive leaf is going to kill the aerobic, friendly bacteria. If it did, this recipe wouldn't be working for people because they are usually taking both at the same time.
That said, you can always take them at different times in the day.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
Thanks for the super website and free info. i hope to have some good news for you: I suffered very terribly with bulging disc causing sciatica, i w\s in aginy for a year and a half despite strong painkillers, i finally found good herbal ones, that did the job, but mroe so an item called the Kuznetsov applicator. It's an acupressure pad or pain equipment as you want to call it. It has some plastic spikes on it. BUT it did get rid of the awful sciatica pain, despite the bulge still being there. Of course I have to take care not to overexert, but I can walk again. The website claims pain can go in a day, but in my reality, after much back and forth emailing i decided to stick with it, and use it until the pain was gone. The seller expained the acupuncture principles behind it, well I'm not only sorted now, but have started studying acupuncture. I have to warn you: I wore this contraption for 2-3 months 24/7, on different pain spots. The sellers mentions 20 minutes here and there, but i know I needed the full on approach. O n the plus side, the pain due to the thing lasted onluy a few minutes from putting it on. You need to make sure it's pressing right in too. Anyway i looked and scoured on the web and found the cheapest source here: or www.easycure.org i have no affiliation with the seller, but it was os good and the price too, as there are many items 10x the price (this one is UK +- 15£)
By the way do you know what the best way is to get rid of blastocysitis hominis ( and trichomonas). I also have a fungal infectin- rhodotorula form living in India years ago, Never got rid of it and so constant fatigue etc, but on the road to recovery thanks to naturopathic advice. Last Question, my mom in law has cancer growths on the kidneys we a re told, and is quite fragile, would the pepper cure be ok for her/ She also has an inflamed stomach due to years of meds for RA. I'm giving her Betaine HCl and pepsin for that, and some psyllium seeds in hot water...I'm not 100% sure for the peppers, though it seems great. i'm also considering to give her baking soda in water, but how do you know if a cancer is anabolic or catabollic?
Thanks again, Best Christmas Wishes, God Bless

:)_________Well_I'll be danged! A guy who is in touch! Most men live in denial about health issues_most men I know, anyway! If they get sick, life is unfair, it's someone or something else's fault, the doctor did it, I did it, you did it, and the world must stop and take care of them. Then, they say they'll never get sick again_and believe it! I should have guessed you were a guy by the way you worded your sentences. It is SO nice to hear from a "guy" about this health issue. You have my sincerest respect.
This brings to mind jock itch (excuse me) yeast that men spread to their wives (or SO) and she can't figure out why she keeps getting yeast infections! My husband wasn't happy when my doctor prescribed something for him. It hurt his pride, but no more female infection for me. Female yeast infections can become systemic and cause serious, future problems. I know from experience. I, also, learned that hot, humid, south Louisiana summers and jockey shorts almost guarantee a man jock itch. My husband had to get used to boxers. :)
I'd just as soon throw gasoine on my body as put cologne/perfume on it, so I wouldn't send you men's cologne, either. I wonder how many men know that exposing their unborn child (through the woman's inhalation of the chemicals) to men's cologne can cause hypospadia?_defect of the male child's penis? There's on-going research about it and they believe that's one reason for the defect. I think the mother taking some antibiotics is another. They are still debating it.
Some body fragrances are made from natural, essential oils. I can use some of them, but we can still be allergic or sensitive to natural chemicals. My brother cannot tolerate lavender essential oil or eucalyptus stems for decorating.
Has anyone discussed products used on their pets for bathing, fleas, etc. that can affect children or adults who handle them? Some people don't think about that. I have to avoid pet flea products and many of the pet shampoos, too. I have a cat, Lula (named after a female husky who hates cats, then found out Lula was a male)! I'm careful about Lula's personal products, too. :) Years ago, I read that pets can have yeast over-growth, too, and it takes a smart vet. to figure it out. Hmmm___ Any chemical that compromises the immune system will probably make yeast happy_and they like to reproduce when they're happy! I haven't researched the 'net lately about yeast problems or new information concerning pets lately. I guess I should_for Lula's sake. By the way, I refused to change Lula's name to "Lou", as suggested by his vet. I know the vet. (he) was just trying to be nice and helpful. If people think Lula is gay, so what? He's my sweety whether he's male, female, masculine, feminine, gay, happy, neutered, or not. I had a pretty collar on him and my friend said he looked gay. I told her he was probably a gay lesbian. She's still trying to figure that one out! :)
Anyway, it wasn't your first name that threw me. It was your last. My last name is Culpepper, which sounds masculine to me. Oh, well_I'm female. 'Barbara' is also a name given to boys, so I could be mistaken for a male_in some areas of the world. :) 'Kelley' isn't as popular as it was when I was in school many years ago. There was a boy in my elementary class named Kelley_without the second 'e'. It's very nice to meet you, though. Thanks again for having this wonderful site. Again, *HAPPY HOLIDAYS* TO YOU AND EVERYONE.
Barbara (Ba'bara, in Venezuelan, where I was born, though I'm Dutch-Irish, English, Welsh, and Indian.) Makes me wonder how much race and diet makes one prone to yeast over-growth. It probably has no racial boundaries.
Hi Marianne,
I'd follow my tummy flattening recipe and add in a parastie cleanser such as "The Cleaner" if I had parasites and a fungal infection.
If I had cancer and were fragile with stomach inflammation, I'd use my recipe of ginger. garlic and oil instead of peppers. Ginger can be soothing to the stomach. I'd start out slow, with just a small dose each day, and see how I responded as far as how I felt.
Typically those who have weight loss, fluid retention, has an aversion to eating, or feels worse after trying to eat, are too catabolic. If I were too catabolic, I'd take evening primrose oil. If I were too anabolic, I'd take the emulsified cod liver oil.
Thank you for the Kuznetsov applicator tip. I'll check it out. It might not work for me since what I have is an obliterated "pars" which is a boney protuberance on the spine that helps to hold one vertabrae on top of the other.
Without that pars my L-5 can be 75% off the axis of the L-4 etc. that puts a teensie-weensie bit of pressure on the nerve root. I am so blessed that I don't usually have ANY pain when I'm sitting.
A neurosurgeon told me that my other spinal bones were like those of a 25-year old, according to the MRI!
Most people with lower back stuff have pain, standing, sitting and lying down...there's no position that they can be comfortable in. I sleep on a magnetic pad that seems to quickly relieve any discomfort when I lay down.
What I could do is visit the site and give a call.
The plus side to all this is that I can sit at my computer and respond pretty quickly. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am to be able to sit here and do what I love. Maybe God wants me here.
So many people are suffering...truly suffering...I wouldn't trade places with anyone. At the grocery store, where I shop, there are a couple cashiers who obviously have health problems, yet they are stuck. My heart goes out to them...my life is sooooo easy compared to so many others, it's probably in the one percentile on easiness.
If I hadn't been here, Dany, from Australia, wouldn't have found out about me. He's the man who kicked off "Lend It To End It: The Gift To End Cancer" by donating money for free books, which led to the endless lending of those copies and more.
One copy being lent to the right hands could lead to a major motion picture being made about Dr. Revici. Or to Oprah or Ellen DeGeneres or some other show. One reader sent a copy to Paul Newman shortly before he passed away.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has supposedly read my book. So has Ben or Jerry of Ben & Jerry's.
Sorry about blathering on and on about this, but the possibility of altering the way cancer is treated by 180 degrees is extremely exciting to me.
Anthony Hopkins, Robert Duvall, Tom Hanks, or Leonardo DiCaprio are some actors who come to mind that could play Dr. Revici. DeCaprio might have the edge since he could play the younger Revici. It depends how much of the story the movie makers would want to tell. Revici lived 101 years!
Maybe I should start selling tickets to the movie in advance. Then go to a studio and say, "Hey, I've got 1 million tickets sold for this movie already...would you be interested in making the movie?" LOL!
Enough of that. Would I rather walk normally or end the fear of cancer? Sure both would be nice. But if I had to pick one, it's a no brainer to me.
But we will see - walking normally WOULD be real nice!
The best to you.

Hi Barbara,
We were getting along so well, and then you attacked the male species for giving women yeast infections from the guy's jock itch! No soup for you! (Seinfeld)
I feed a neighborhood cat. Someone clipped Snowy's ear indicating it has been spayed/neutered. S/he's all white with a black raccoon colored tail. Snowy's claws are too sharp to confirm his/her gender. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (More Seinfeld)
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
Thanks for the advice! It would be nice for your story to be told on Oprah, my thoughts precisely! You must be a telepaticateer!
Well after reading what you said about your spine, still the following recommendation that you probalby know:
Develop the muscles around the area that has injury on the spine. of course one must be careful with this, you don't want to lock in a bad position. Nonetheless, regardless of difficulty try to exercise slowly those musles, and yes there are msules along the whole back, so it should be possible. Frequently we don't know we have them due to not using them. Also verify if one side is stronger than the other, and try to balance that out. you may need to start with doing the exercise mentally and slowly begin to feel sensation in the area, and find ways to move the musles, then strengthen them.
I still feel the Kuznetsov thing would be good for you, as acupuncture is not only good for pain relief, but rebalancing Qi. it may help with the muscle work. And at the price it's a give-away. And I like to recommend this girl as she isn't out there for the fast buck and is very helpul. She too wants to help people whio are suffering. There are a lot of nice people out there!!!
Hope your back gets better, I have to say, I'm completely pain free and still have this bulge, now I know your situation is different, but who knows?
Best of luck
Marianne
Kelley,
Please respond to my post (about 33hrs. ago) regarding my protocol with green foods-banana-etc.
thx
Mike
Hi, Kelley_and touche'!
Maybe I did initiate the back-and-forth yeast problem. :) I mentioned it for informational reasons, not as an attack on the male species. Any male who continues to be plagued by jock itch, might want to ask his wife/SO about any "discomfort".
I wish I just had one "neighborhood" cat to feed. I manage to feed a small colony. I'm still looking for the sign that directs them to my house. Maybe it's just by meow-of-mouth that they find their way here. Oh, well_no one else around here has compassion for them. Snowy must have sensed your compassion. He/she was right_also, the reason you have this site to help people_compassion, voilitional act of good karma (kamma).
Have a wonderful day!
Barbara
PS Maybe some kitty nibbles for Snowy would be more useful than an ugly tie. :)
Hi Kelley
what you do is very special
i was looking around for caprylic acid that is kosher
and did not find till i found one place selling it under its systematic name octanoic acid in
its pure form
here is the link do you think thats good

Kelley,
I had previously purchased Dr. Mercola's "Compelte Probiotics" Can I use this instead of the PB-8 at least until I run out?
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to give an update on my success w/Kelley's plan. I started the program (for the first time) 5 months ago. I did it for a month or two (w/bad die-off at first) and then trailed off. I decided to start up again a couple of months ago and am glad I did. Along with diet and exercise, this is a great plan!
My problem was not that I was overweight (I've never topped 120 lbs and am 5'2"). It was a ridiculously bloated stomach and chronic infections that drove me to this site. I'm happy to report that my stomach is back to it's flat, sexy self and I have suffered 0 infections since starting this program (except for a little yeast that I attributed to die-off).
This isn't the easiest program to follow, but it definitely works. If you do nothing else, I suggest taking the probiotics for life. People at my office are always asking me why I never get sick like the rest of them and I tell them it's the probiotics and vitamins I take. They are always surprised. This plan would make a great New Year's resolution for those who are still looking for one, LOL! Happy Holidays and thanks Kelley

Hi Mike,
I'm sorry for not answering your question. Providing dietary advice is not my area of expertise. So whatever I told you might not be helpful to you or in your best interests. I'm also not familiar with every green product that is out there.
In general green foods are very good for us. But I can't say that in your case.
The best to you.

Hi Marc.
Thanks for the compliment. I'm not a chemist, so I really couldn't say. If you know it to be a good company, that's probably the best way to evaluate the pure caprylic acid.

I am writing to ask for yur sincere help & advice..with my health and many problems:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)V. Cold most of the timeAcne on & off from age 16 up until now (late 30's)HeadachesHypoglycemiastressed & angry v quicklySevere Allergy to Yeast & Dairy (Vega Test confirmed this) so I avoid all bread, raising agents & milk produce& have had x3 Consecutive Miscarriages.
and take many many suppliments to try & fix-up my health:Bio Acidophillus (Probiotic) -BiocareVitamin C Powder -BiocareMulti-Vitamin&Mineral - BiocareMega GLAx2 (high dose Evening primroseOil) - BiocareMega EPA (Fish Oils) - BiocareVitamin E x2 400ius - Biocare (skin & SMA)Bio Magnesium (get way too many cramps in my legs) - BiocareCalciumx2 (dont drink milk) - BiocareSelenium (Good for SMA) - BiocareFolic Acid - Holland&BarrettVitamin B Complex & Vitamin B&C - Holland& BarrettFlaxseed Oil (skin) - Natures BestSiberian Ginseng (try n give me a boost!)
started taking SpaTone -Liquid Iron (as still feeling v.tired all the time!)
I came accross these pages and was really inspired to try & get rid of this yeast once and for all.
I purchased:L-Glutamine PowderOlive Leaf ExtractCaprylic Acid 350mg& Digestive Enzyme - i purchased this from Holland & Barratt as I live in the UK. I hope this is the 1 you meant, plz let me know if it isnt.
Ultimate Question- Is your programme ok with all the other vitamins I have/am taking. Or is this too much!
I have been feeling quite rubbish for soooo long & esp more so after the last miscarriage (x6 months ago).
I came across the H Factor book by Patrick Holford, he mentions that if we are low on certain nutrientsthen women can have many problems with fertility, inc miscarriage.
I just didnt understand this as i was taking so many Vitamins!...
Having the Vega Test made me realize that the Yeast & Sugar combination was absorbing absolutely Everyting - all the Vitamins & goodness from the food i was eating. I felt & looked so weak, Like I hadnt been eating at all!
I really thought i was better, as i had stopped eating all the food containing yeast & taking a probiotic (x2 years now) Reading everything above - several times!made me realise that I NEED TO DO THIS programme.
Which I started x3 days ago, my head feels sooooo heavy. I am trying trying to drink more water.Bit of a misson running to go bathroom (upstairs) due to my SMA.
I do so much want to have another baby but the thought of going through another pregnancy - to end up in miscarriage is too much at the moment. I became extremely ill after the last episode. Plz let me know yur thoughts...
ps: what is the Saliva Test that Corrie mentioned?
Hi Valerino.
First, thank you for coming back and letting people know how well this worked for you. That's really important for helping those who are sitting on the fence about taking the step to freedom from food cravings and from the many harms yeast overgrowth can cause them.
Congratulations on a job well done! You go, girl!
The best to you.

Hi Rose,
First please accept my condolences for your loss. I can't imagine how painful that must be.
If I were in your shoes, I'd go slowly at first maybe starting with just one part of the recipe for a week and then adding in another leg. I'd probably start with the probiotic.
I'm not familiar with all the supplements you're taking. You probably have an idea that certain ones have really helped you whereas others you're not so sure. That might be a place to start of you wanted to cut back.
As you can see from the many wonderful comments, this recipe has worked like a miracle for many of those who have tried it. I'm looking forward to the day when you are able to report about the miracles you've experienced.
I'm glad to hear that you've started. Good for you. Sometimes people do experience some rough spots in the beginning. It's okay to go slow.
The Holland & Barrett products should work just fine, since they are a sister company of Vitamin World, which were the first ones I started recommending and with good results.
Many people are using the "spit test" to see how far they are progressing. You keep a clean glass of water by your bed. When you arise, spit in the glass, then observe over the next hour if there are 'legs' forming in the glass from the sputum. The more yeast there is, the more legs that will be present.
The best to you.

Hi Everyone,
A couple of housekeeping notes. First, I will be here at least part of the day on Christmas, so if you have any questions, please post them.
Second, I've been struggling today with a somewhat debilitating headache as a complication from my back challenges. Sometimes I felt like I was going to throw up. (Too much information?)
I noticed that my answers are sometimes a bit abrupt today. So please accept my apologies. I'm not me 'sweet self.' You guys are always so good to me, so I'm sorry.
I wasn't much fun to be around today.
The best to you.

Hi there, question for you Kelley
I have been taking one olive leaf, one capryl, two intestinew, one msm, pb8 x 1 each morning, then again at night. sometimes i take it in the afternoon too. not each day though.
I also have changed to a 95% raw diet
So, it never fails, around noon or after, i get bloated, stomach pains, gas, and also now have a vaginal discharge.
I had bloating before i started, hence the reason i am on this cleanse.
I used to be totally raw but was not for the last few years. I was so raw and only did fruits that i have myself a major vaginal yeast infection. but having 3 kids for some reason cleared it up!
anyhow, i dont have a yeast infection now just a discharge. is this due to the cleanse do you think? and is bloating and stomach pain and gas, symptoms too of it?
thanks
Hi Kelley:
Thank you for your wonderful, helpful information. My sister and I have been on your yeast irradication plan for a week and half and I"m already amazed at how much my out of control sugar cravings have died down. I've struggled with some stomach distress, but it was not enough to stop me.
I do have a question for you though. Is a flare up of acne normal? I know you wrote another hub with this recipe on it for clearing up skin. I have terrible skin that still looks like I'm 13 and starting puberty, instead of almost 30. I'm very much hopeful that this will help with my skin. Other than tea tree oil, is there anything else you would recommend? My face hurts!
Thank you so much for all of your patient answers to all of these questions people ask you. I've read them all and found it all very helpful. I hope you can get your headache under control as well, those type are so miserable!
Thanks again,
Heather D.
Hi Amost There,
I'd probably lower the olive leaf and caprylic acid to one a day to see if that helped me.
Also, a 95% raw diet could be intensifying it because it's kicking up a lot of stuff, cleaning house. There could also be one or more food items that you're presently allergic to. Once all the holes are patched up and the yeast overgrowth is cleared out, many allergies can go away.
What the discharge is, I really couldn't say. It might be dead yeast which could have a different character than a live yeast infection. But in general, when the body is cleansing, it looks for pathways to discharge from. It could be from the sinuses, the breath, urine, feces, vaginal discharge, skin, eyes, and/or ears.
The best to you.

Hi Heather,
I feel your pain! Unfortunately, the skin is one way that the body tries to eliminate the poisons. The good news is that it's a temporary condition. The caution is not to try to stop it or you end up having it lurk there. While it's lurking it's doing more bad stuff, like making future wrinkles, skin cancers, etc.
You asked for something in addition to or instead of tea tree oil.
I'm sure you already know to drink lots of purified water. That really helps particularly when it's combined with other approaches.
One possibility would be to apply a clay mask. I wouldn't buy it that the drug store, however. I'd want a real natural one, not something "naturally inspired" or the like. Clay helps pull out stuff from the skin.
A hot bath with dried mustard added helps to open the pores.
But I'm not an expert on all the options, so maybe someone else can tell us their NATURAL topical secrets to allow the acne to clear out quickly.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
Thanks for putting this info up for free on the web. I have been following your program for over three weeks now. I live in Israel, so dried olive leaf is very easy to find at the spice stores. It hardly makes sense to pay $30 for a bottle of imported olive leaf extract, when I can get a whole pound of olive leaves for the same price. I've been powdering the dried leaves and encapsulating the powder myself. I'm able to put 440 mg in each capsule, but it's the pure leaf powder, not an extract, so how many do you think I should take?
Not wanting to go too fast, I started myself and my husband out with one olive leaf and one caprylic (365mg) per day for one week. Then, the second week, I took two olive leaf capsules and one caprylic per day, and finally in the third week and following, I've been taking three olive leaf capsules and two caprylic per day. Do you think that's enough, or do I need to take more, since I'm taking whole olive leaf and not an extract? I have not been experiencing any die-off reactions that I can tell, but then again, I don't think that my condition was that bad to begin with, not having had severe cravings or other signs of a severe yeast problem. My husband has remarked that his cravings have greatly diminished since starting the program.
One last thing: living in Israel, the probiotic capsules are very expensive and hard to afford. I wanted to see if I could grow my own probiotics, so that I could take much more than what I could afford to take if I were to stick just with the capsules. I did the following experiment, and it worked! I bought the best multi-strain probiotic that I could find (eight strains in it), then I made yogurt out of it, taking one liter of milk, heating it to 175F in a double boiler, then cooling it to 100F, and stirring in the contents of two of the capsules. I then took the mixture and put it in a one-liter glass jar and put it in the oven at the lowest temperature (about 100F). I left it there for 24 hours and the next day, I had a really thick yogurt that was surprisingly tasty (My understanding had been that the strains that made the tastiest yogurt weren't the most beneficial in the digestive tract and vice versa).
I then took about half of my first liter of yogurt and poured it into an ice cube tray (to make starter for the next 12 batches). I've already made a batch from this second generation starter, and it's looking really good at this point. I theoretically could go on forever, but I think I'll stop once I make yogurt from all the "ice cube" starters. At that point, I'll just start with another two capsules. Going at it this way, I'll get 390 batches out of one $50 bottle of probiotics, so I'll be able to afford to get much more generous helpings of beneficial bacteria than I ever could do just by taking capsules. I'm taking at least 1/4 cup of this yogurt per day, plus I also try to eat a generous serving of cultured veggies every day, too. I don't know exactly how many organisms I get in a serving, but I'm sure that it's more than the 4 billion units in each of the capsules.
By the way, for those of you who can't drink milk or are vegan, why don't you try this experiment with some non-dairy milk, such as soy, almond or rice milk? Don't try it with coconut milk, because I've already tried it and it doesn't work ;o)
Just wanted to say thankyou Rena61 for the Spit test link... Most informative.

Hi Kelley!
Thanks for the reassurance and advice! I appreciate it. I don't intend to quit the program. I've lost 5 lbs already in the past week and a half! (I have a lot to lose, though) and just having the horrible sugar cravings diminished so much makes it worth it.
RoseP:
Thanks for the recipes and suggestions as well. If only the breakouts were limited to only my face...sigh...I'll definitely try out some of your suggestions on my face, since it's the worst!
I'd love to hear anyone else's suggestions too! I'm so looking forward to having adult skin someday! :)
Thanks again,
Heather
Hi Dina,
I am so proud of you! So resourceful and industrious!
Your FRESH olive leaves - I'm so jealous. Freshness counts for a whole lot. So even though it isn't an extract I'd feel confident that it's great stuff.
Next time you make the yogurt, let it sit for a good 8 to 10 hours rather than for 24. That might give it more of a sour taste indicating even more friendly bacteria.
We have an expression in the US that is one of high praise: "You go, girl!" Wonderful, wonderful!

Thankyou for yur feedback Kelley, v.much appreciated.
My Caprylic Acid is 350mg maybe i should split in half
Also my back has been aching on & off since i first took the Olive Leaf Extract? I waz thinking maybe something to do with the Spinal Muscular Atrophy & The yeast?
I would most happily add the Facials info to yur acne hub ~ pls could yu post a link to these pages as i dont know where they are...
Hi Rose,
And thank you, Rose.
Hub pages doesn't allow linking to other hubs by the same author, but you can click on my name, and you'll see a listing of my other hubs including "How to get rid of pimples..."
I really couldn't hazard a guess if the olive leaf has anything to do with your muscular atrophy. It might. I'd drink some extra water to see if that helped.

Hello Kelley:
I need some help. I was just diagnosed with borderline PH (Pulmonary Hypertension) and have a leaky pulmonary heart valve. I want to know what to do to stop and reverse the PH before it crosses over the borderline level, because it's fatal. Do you have any commments? Anything will help.
Merry Christmas all,
Katzenjammer
Hi Katzenjammer,
If I had what you had, I'd make sure I was working with a physician who was totally into alternative medicine, such as a homeopathic physician...not one trained in six weeks but who really knows homeopathy.
Meanwhile, the amino acid arginine (l-arginine) has been shown time and again to lower pulmonary hypertension. Although it might take several grams a day to produce the desired effect (always taken on an empty stomach) I would start off with 500 to 1,000 mg a day for the first week and gradually increase it until the desired results were achieved, if it were me.
I would use the arginine unless my condition were due to an embolism.
My guess is that yours isn't because the doctor would have sent you by ambulance to the operating table.
As for my leaky pulmonary hear valve, it depends on why it's leaking. Here are some examples, is it leaking BECAUSE of the high pulmonary pressure, is it due to an infection, or is it a congenital deformity?
The pressure can damage a valve. So can an infection.
In all cases I would want to strengthen the valve muscle. To strengthen the muscle, I'd also take some hawthorn berry and CoQ10. With the CoQ10, I would start with 100 mgs a day for a week or two and then up it to 200mgs a day taken in one dose.
CoQ10 has been researched and found to be very good for congestive heart problems. Leaky vales generally create congestive problems.
If I had an infection, I'd start on my tummy flattening recipe/food craving, going slowly, very slowly. I'd start with the 2 PB-8's for 4-5 days, and then add one olive leaf extract a day and no more for another week or two. If I tolerated that, I'd add in the IntestiNew, and then finally the caprylic acid.
But I'd make sure I was seeing a homeopathic physician. Google to find one in your area.
It's unlikely that any of the recipes I've mentioned would be incompatible with the homeopathic treatments.
The best to you.

Merry Christmas to Kelley and all the posters!
Kelley, have you ever tried EFT? (Emotional Freedom Technique) for your back problem? Joe Mercola recommends it. Many people have "cured" amazing maladies, (although they cannot claim that it "cures" anything.) It is a very simple but effective technique developed by Gary Craig. I think the website is emofree. com but it's been a while since I've been there. At any rate, one can google Gary Craig and EFT. He gives the manual away for free although he sells DVD's if you want more detailed info. (At a very reasonable rate.) He's sure not in it for the money. If this interests you, check out his website and read the archives which give descriptions of a multitude of physical and emotional problems that have been successfully healed.
Some of the "cures" have been of cancer, sexual dysfunction, hormone imbalance, bladder infections, vision problems, obesity, hearing problems, environmental poisoning, post traumatic stress disorder as well as a multitude of emotional problems......As Gary says, "try it on anything." Lots of cases have been reported on animal healings, including behavior problems. One woman said that she fixed her clogged toilet by using EFT! I got rid of noisy neighbors this way!
It doesn't replace all of the wonderful info given here on physical supplements...just another way to attack a problem.
Wishing you well as you have so unselfishly helped others here, you deserve perfect health yourself!
Go for it Rena61 would love to see what you've got!
but pls post your Facial Recipes on the acne hub, just click Kelleys name & right side there a listing of his other hubs including "How to get rid of pimples..."
Hi Rose,
I see you did it, great going.
I don't have a recipe for a facial scrub, was just going to copy and paste yours if you were having trouble finding where it went, but I see you did just fine. I am really interested in the pineapple and carrot juice rejuvenating wash for myself though, thanks a million for posting, Peace, Rena.
Hi Rodney and Clover,
I got both your messages. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Both of you want what's best for me and I appreciate that a great deal.
Here is how I'm looking at it. I have an obliterated bone in my back at the L-5. It has long ago capped itself off. At the same time there may be emotional issues that go along with it.
I think the injury occurred when I was a year old, when I was left alone with a German housekeeper on Germany in 1951. Her husband had been a member of the SS to give you an idea about her.
I met her later on. I found her to be unpleasant. Well, when I was alone with her, I ended up with either a broken scapula or a broken shoulder blade. I either fell off the sofa or from the crib.
I'm thinking the other break could have occurred at the same time.
The fact that there are two stories for both the bones and the place it took place causes me to not believe either one.
BTW, it's quite possible I was born with it because that is a common event, too.
In any case there could easily be emotional issues attached. So while the EFT probably wouldn't uncap the bone and cause it to heal like normal, it could be quite helpful in terms of any emotions attached to it.
The best to both of you.

Hello Kelley!
I have another question for you, and some really cool news! :) My question is: did the lady who came into your store, used your recipe and lost 90 lbs do anything other than follow the yeast cleansing protocol? Did she just naturally drop the weight as her body healed? I've got about 130-140 to lose (that's so yucky and embarrasing to say!!), so I'm very interested in her story.
Now, for my good news! I just have to say THANK YOU!!! I've suffered from IBS for as long as I can remember. And this Christmas, I feasted and made no emergency bathroom runs. Nor have I made any emergency runs since the first three days I started the protocol! That is a miracle for me . You have my heartfelt gratitude for posting this information for free and spending all your free time answering people's questions, too!
Heather D.
Hi Heather,
No IBS attacks since three days into the recipe even though you've suffered with IBS for "as long as I can remember"...that's fantastic! I know you're going to spread the word!
About the woman who lost 90 pounds...she had tried plenty of diets before but you know that turned out, don't you.
You're going to hate me for this, but I didn't ask her. I should have, but I didn't.
Here's the thing, you're probably going to find that you naturally want to eat the foods that are healthy for you. So if you decide to do a special program it's going to be Sooooo much easier.
You may find you don't need to, or you might decide you want to. And you'll be in charge, won't you! It just depends how motivated you are...and if you are, it won't be an uphill battle but a feeling of confidence because you won't remember to visit the aisles in the grocery store that were your downfall.
Krispy Kreme won't be calling your name. I drive by one quite frequently. I haven't been inside once. Not because of will power...the donuts have no pull over me.
You might need to stay on the recipe longer than what I've generally talked about, but I'm sure that's okay with you. I'd want to get rid of all the yeast overgrowth if it were me. But that's no problem because you see how naturally easy it is to do.
The best to you.

I've already spread the word! My sister is doing the program with me, and my mom is waiting to see if it kills us before she gives it a try! lol! She's pretty leary of these "natural" health type approaches. (I thought she was going to have a heart attack when my husband and I stopped vaccinating our son at 6 months after learning what was really into that trash they were injecting into him!)
I'm super excited to see where this takes me, actually. My out of control sugar cravings have subsided substantially (as I mentioned previously) and now I catch myself doing things more out of habit than out of a desperate need. I pretty muchly only get the real cravings in the evenings when my energy is depleted. So now I have some long standing habits to work on. Fortunately Krispy Kreme isn't one of them because we don't have Krispy Kreme here! And since ice cream is a major IBS trigger, I avoid it, so I don't have to worry about that either! :)
One more question: My son had anti biotics in his system when he was born as I had an IV of them while in labor, uggh. He also had about a week of inhaled steroids for a nasty virus last winter. He eats yogurt every morning for breakfast, (whole milk and organic) but it's my understanding that any yogurt with sugar in it is kind of worthless. He's only 2, so swallowing pills isn't an option. "If he was your kid" would sprinkling a PB-8 in his yogurt help, or should I look for some other form of probiotics for him? I don't want him to suffer with this as I have.
Thanks
Hi Heather,
I did a search and found that a product called Threelac supposedly works great for infants and toddlers. It already has a great reputation for adults.
I'm glad to find this out because I'd be reluctant to put a small child on my recipe.
The website said they found just putting a little bit on the child's tongue can work wonders. Although it isn't cheap (about $45), it's cheaper than going to the doctor, buying prescriptions etc, not counting the cost in time and ear tubes which is what can happen with these chronic infections. The site says that a small child could take 1/4 to 1/2 a packet a day.
The best to you.

now im prone to yeast and fungal infections, im 19 and not on any other medications, havent done a colon clease..what dosage do you reccommend starting off with?
Thanksss a lot =]
Hi Tara,
Nature's Secret makes a good, gentle colon cleanser. "The Cleaner" is another good one, although it only takes a 1/2 to 1/4 dose to work for me.
The best to you.

Thankss for the fast reply!!
Also should i take all of this at once..or should i start off with some and ease into the others? Would this protocol also help with my skin because recently it has gotten very dry and itchy, i moistorize daily but doesnt seem to help much.
Thank you, god bless.
Hi Tara,
If it were me, I'd ease into it. Each person knows themselves best, so they get to decide what they mean by easing in.
Please keep us posted if it helps your skin...or anything else, too! I can't promise you anything, but it sure seems like people are getting a lot of good responses.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, I'm still loving your program, but going a lot slower now, since my last healing crisis with die-off. Now my boyfriend is trying the program too, so this is really great!
I did want to let you know, however, that I think the glutamic acid (I was taking it in Intestinew) gave me some problems and might be a problem for others too. A few years ago I read a book by Dr. Russell Blaylock called "Excitotoxins," which goes into great detail about the dangers of aspartame and MSG. As you know, part of the problem with these additives is the free form amino acids they contain, namely aspartic and glutamic acid. He advises against their use in general because they tend to "overexcite" and eventually kill neurons, leading to brain damage.
I thought I would give the glutamic acid a try anyways, since it would be nice to repair any intestinal holes caused by the Candida...But I soon noticed an increase in my neurological issues of depression, insomnia and severe brain fog. Now I realize that these can also be symptoms of Candida, so it is possible that the glutamic acid is not the problem....HOWEVER, the symptoms have stopped since I stopped taking the glutamic acid, so I suspect the amino acid was causing the problem.
Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know that if they have any sort of neurological issues, they should at least be cautious with the use of glutamic acid and/or Intestinew. For me, I will try another route; slippery elm bark is an alternative if I recall.
Thanks again for the program, I feel that I am making progress. and hopefully my boyfriend will see improvement too!
Best wishes, Corrie
Hi Corrie,
Great news on the boyfriend front! Let's see if he can get good results, too.
To put your mind and everyone else's at ease, there is no glutamic acid in IntestiNew. IntestiNew contains glutamine which has far different properties than glutamic acid. That's not to say that you didn't have a reaction to the IntestiNew.
The best to you.

Greetings Kelly,I have been reading this hub with fascination all day. I very much want to follow your protocol, but face one glitch due to my MS. I would like to substitute the Glutamine for another ingredient if possible. I already have great difficulty with brain-related symptoms due to the MS, and I'm concerned the Glutamine will amplify this. I took the similar Glucosamine at the advise of my knee surgeon for several months and had very significant side effects, including confusion and persistent headache. I cannot risk exaserbating my MS, it's a fine balance keeping things stable.I take a number of supplements already (primarily antioxidants and Red Yeast Rice to control cholesterol) and need introduce new supplements in a controlled manner. I've attempted to find the answer to my question in this hub, but am still uncertain how to proceed. I've seen mention here for use of Intestive, Slippery Elm, and MSM as potential substitutes, but I have no sense as to how effective they would be compared to Glutamine. Will you kindly advise: What product will adequately subsitute for Glutamine to address the leaky gut part of the regimen?Thank you most kindly for all your hard work.
Hi Melly,
If I had MS and wanted to avoid risking glutamine, I'd probably try the slippery elm to see if that would do the job.
I might also try what is called DGL which is available at any health food store. It's excellent for healing stomach ulcers, so maybe that would work.
MSM is known to be a pain reliever. But I think it's catabolic. In this case an anabolic substance is what would be needed.
The best to you.

PS. I'm not a big fan of lowering cholesterol, especially with red yeast rice. Cholesterol provides the insulation for the nerves. If I had MS, I'd be trying to RAISE my cholesterol. Policosinol or arginine help to raise good cholesterol.
No high cholesterol does not cause heart attacks. But low cholesterol does, and it contributes to cancer. We also need cholesterol for our brain (memory.)
Hi Kelley -
Glutamic acid is actually a metabolite of glutamine...so ingesting glutamine will lead to increased glutamic acid in the brain. The question is how much. Proponents of glutamine say that conversion and uptake is highly regulated by the body, so that taking glutamine is safe and beneficial, while taking glutamic acid would clearly be dangerous, since it is a known excitotoxin. Here is a quote from Dr. Russell Blaylock's book:
One should not assume that health food stores are safe havens from these excitotoxins. In fact, I have found that many products, including supplements as well as foods, contain one or more of these toxic compounds. For example, at least one product claiming to improve memory and boost brain power, contains large doses of both glutamate and glutamine.
-Russell Blaylock, M.D., Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills
And here is a great article discussing the potential problems with glutamine:
http://groups.google.com/group/misc.fitness.weight
It seems the jury is still out with regard to glutamine supplementation. It may be that it is fine for most people, but for me it was a problem. I appreciate the diet very much and all your work to help people cure themselves of Candida and cancer!
Corrie
Hi Kelley,
That's ok, I understand. I hope you don't take my comment as argumentative...I am totally in support of what you are doing here and on your cancer hub! I just want to find the best and safest method of killing Candida and restoring intestinal/systemic health. I realize the glutamine/glutamate issue is a complex one and that there are many opinions on the topic, most in support of glutamine supplementation. Still, it is good to discuss various sides of a topic so as to gain greater understanding.
Thanks! Corrie
Hi Corrie,
I appreciate your wanting what is best for everyone. That's what makes this hub so special.
We need to understand that glutamine is the #1 amino acid in the body. It's a conditionally essential amino acid which means we make some and we have to consume some. If we don't consume it, eventually we'll die.
Meanwhile glutamic acid is an antagnist to glutamine in its properties. When we are sick with holes in our intestinal lining, as is the case when we have too much yeast, it's unlikely that the glutamine is going to get converted to glutamic acid to where it presents a problem.
In my recipe, I recommend taking it for a month or two so it can do the job of repairing the tissue. It's not something to be taken all the time.
As we can see fro the responses here, it's helping calm IBS, bloating, gas, skin rashes, etc. And people are experiencing a lifting of their mental fog.
Dr. Blaylock says that his idea is merely a "hypothesis." And he's talking about body builders who are taking glutamine LONG TERM, even for years. Some of the products have both glutamine and glutamic acid. The glutamine portion of my recipe is not long term, nor does it include glutamic acid.
So I don't think there is the same type of worry as there might be with a body builder taking the stuff for months on, especially the stuff that has glutamic acid in them as well.
That's not to discount your own personal experience. It's possible you healed up your intestinal lining and didn't need any more, or you already had enough exitotoxins in your body that the glutamine was too much for you.
Thanks for sharing your info, Corrie.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
Hi Kelley,
Thanks for the explanation. That makes a lot of sense. My guess is that I am already overly sensitive to any neurological stimuli and that even small amounts of glutamine being converted to glutamic acid was too much for me. This probably would not be the case for most people, but anyone with neurological issues would want to be aware.
As for the intestinal holes (leaky gut syndrome), I probably do have that problem, since I've been suffering from fatigue for some time. I'm just going to have to find another way to heal the holes. Aloe vera gel, slippery elm bark, marshmallow root and DGL licorice are some herbs that can help, I have read. Actually, we used DGL licorice along with probiotics to heal my boyfriend's ulcers a couple of years ago, so perhaps I will try that.
Thanks again! Corrie
Kelley,
I read your response to me on the other hub. Thank you! You told me to follow the anti-yeast protocol because of my possible auto-immune disease. I didn't tell you yet that for the last several months I have been following an anti-fungal program that includes caprylic acid, grapefruit seed extract, probiotic and L-Glutamine powder 3 times a day. But my sinus and lungs are still full of mucous. I also make fresh vegetable juices (no pulp) and eat very well 90% of the time. I don't eat anything with sugar because I actually don't like it, can you believe it?
Supposedly this rare disease (hyper eosinophili syndrome) damages the lungs, the sinus, heart, digestive tract etc.. But going back to my initial question, I have cramps in my hands and feet and don't know what is causing it. I will have to try different minerals and eating more high potassium foods, etc..
Do you think I should also try the evening primrose oil since I seem to be stuck on the catabolic side and oils work more powerfully?
BTW, I have a hard cover copy of your book on Dr. Revici and you autographed it!!! I bought it in Maryland. I just wish that we would have some guidelines on what to do for auto immune diseases, it is a shame that there are no details in the book. Did you say your dad also has an auto immune disease?
Thank you for your help, Evie
Hi Evie,
You have a hard cover copy of my book On Dr. Revici? Small world! (Hang onto it. One copy sold for $570...and it wasn't autographed!)
Revici didn't have a protocol for auto immune diseases in general that I'm aware of. That's why there's not much in the book about it. But you're getting free stuff here about it. :-)
My book is 400 pages long. If it contained every cure I know, it would be 4,000 pages long. ;-)
Revici was successful in treating rheumatoid arthritis which is one of the 100+ auto-immune diseases.
If I'd done what you've done to eliminate yeast, I'd suspect a heavy metal such as mercury being the source of my problem.
I'd start taking broken cell chlorella (Sun and Swansons make it) and apple pectin and/or find a dentist who is trained and experienced in removing mercury fillings if that's doable.
I'd definitely be taking the evening primrose oil at least 3,000 mgs and maybe double that if I could tolerate it.
And I'd eat some bananas to see if that offered any help with my cramping. It might be that once the lipid metabolism is balanced then the minerals will be able to work as they are designed to.
Lipids can have a great effect on how well minerals work. That's why some people get little or no benefit from their supplements....their lipid metabolism is off.
Shameless plug to everyone: read my book and you'll get the picture. ;-)
The best to you.

Thank you Kelley,
How did you know, I am currently going through chelation therapy, DMSA, EDTA, in IV form and also capsules. I will add the chlorella and apple pectin though. My urine and hair analysis did show mercury. I had my mercury fillings removed 15 years ago and even root canals also by an expert. But my medical doctor (who treats the alternative way) said that it takes years for the body to detoxify of heavy metals on its own, therefore the oral and IV chelation will definetly speed it up.
I don't remember where I bought your book, it might have been at the Apothecary in Bethesda where Irv Rosenburg was the pharmacist. He was into the alternative and sold a lot of supplements.
Is anyone still treating like Dr. Revici?
Thanks again, it must be getting late for you in Florida. I am here in the Northwest.
Evie
Hi Evie,
How did I guess you had a mercury challenge?
:-)
I remember The Apothecary. I lived two blocks from there when I first started writing the book. Jammed with customers! They sold my book...they sure did.
Since you have my book, you only can go ahead and email me, and I'll get you the latest info on where to get the Revici Method. awthrawthr@yahoo.com
It's important that questions get asked here and not in my email because that way everyone gets to benefit from questions and the answers.
I live in the Central time zone, by the way. Most people don't realize that part of FL extends pretty far west.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley and All,
Wish I didn't weigh myself but I did, gained 3 pounds this week. No wonder by the way I ate. Could use the excuse it was Christmas holiday but I just ate poorly every day it seemed. My spit test was a mirror of last week, long legs and fog at the bottom. Still no recurrences of the rash on legs, chest and stomach. I think the rash on my back may be gone too, but I want to wait another week to see, still to soon to call, last flair up was Friday, but nothing since. Sinus problem hanging on, but most of the time I can breath out of both nostrils, and on occasion blowing some things out.
On page 101 of my book, couldn't read much this weekend, had all 3 grand children. Did most of my reading Sunday after taking the kids back to mom and dad.
The health food store was out of intestinew, so I had to get the glutamine powder instead, what a difference in price, and it dissolves so much better in water.
End of week 7, starting week 8. Peace, Rena.
Hi Rena,
Ahh! The Christmas holidays. For many of us, me included, we eat out of habit. It's a psychological feeling of kinship and food tied together.
Plus, there's all those leftovers! I ate a bunch of pumpkin pie the other day not because I had a craving, but because I didn't want to throw it away!
I probably won't have another pumpkin pie in the house until next Thanksgiving or Christmas. But there it was, and the thought of tossing more than half a pie in the trash after paying more than $5 for it was just too much.
Pumpkin is good for the prostate, right? ;-) I'll keep telling myself that.
The best to you.

Dear Kelley,
Thank you kindly for your prompt reply regarding Glutamine substitutes.
Thanks also for your comments about cholesterol. I have done a great deal of reading, and am proceeding cautiously. Initially, my PCP prescribed a statin drug to lower my LDL, to which I immediately had terrible side effects. With the support of an HMO Pharmacist, I was taken off the drug, but then had to formulate a plan on my own to lower the LDL because the doctor continued to insist on the statin drug at a lower dose. The Dr. consented to my plan; I have since lowered the LDL by 25 points, the triglcerides even more (though they were okay to start with) while raising the HDL simultaneously, in a period of four months and without ever going back on the statin. I am taking Policosinaol and have made a couple of very minor dietary changes, simply trying to incorporate a better balance of Omega fatty acids. My hope is once I lower the LDL to a level the good doctor ;) is comfortable with, I will then drop the Red Yeast Rice (but continue with Fish Oil and several other supplements)
Though I discovered the statin "myth" through reading, and I now have a vague understanding what cholesterol is, I don't have the knowledge necessary to navigate my own healthcare completely. I do need the cooperation of a PCP for various reasons, thus I need keep him/her on my side. I am somewhat held hostage by my Individual Health Plan at my HMO -- I basically pay them oodles of money to not kill me, and then more to research and take care of myself.
Kelley, you are clearly a well-intentioned, generous soul. I appreciate your earlier comment about my post; I hope I understood adequately (per this attempt). Thank you again for your time and your obvious altruistic nature.
A very happy and fruitful New Year to you,
Melly
Hi Melly,

Hello again Kelley,
I have a cart together and am leaning toward ordering the Glutamine. After thinking more on it, since the Glutamine is only needed for a month or so, it seems better to stick to the tried and true method, rather than deviate and then wonder what went wrong if the method does not work. Just a quick question -- If I do experience neurologic related symptoms or headache from Glutamine, it is only temporary, yes?
I think I'll also order some chlorella and Apple Pectin to be ready for those metals. :) I don't like to be caught off guard.
Thank you!!
Melly
Thank you Kelley,
you made me feel better.
It looks like I will be continuing on the program longer than the 2 months goal, should I discontinue the glutamine powder when it runs out? I don't feel any ill effects from it, and I want to make sure those holes are good and plugged. I know I will continue on the caprylic acid, olive leaf, digestive enzymes, and PB8 until all symptoms of the sinus infection, and rash are gone. Peace, Rena.
Hi Melly,
The headaches that people are getting are from yeast die off. If it were caused by the glutamine, the headache would continue to get worse and worse as long as the glutamine were being taken.
But only one person reported that happening.
The best to you.

Kelley,
My hesitance stems from my prior experience with Glucosamine, which I realize is a different substance. I'm going to choose not to worry about it, particularly since the problems I had with Glucosamine ended after I stopped taking the supplement.
Warm regards,
Melly
Hi Rena,
If I didn't have any bloating, gas or digestive discomfort, then I'd figure that I didn't need any more of the glutamine...any pains suffered on the evening of January 8th from a shortage of touchdowns not withstanding. ;-)
I like the rest of your plan. Very good. :-)

Hi Kelley and All:
'Just wanted to report the disappearance of other symptoms that I didn't connect to Candida. I had pimples on the back and sides of my neck in funny "strips" as if they were following a muscle or an acupuncture meridian...don't know. They didn't bother me as my hair covered me but I used to wonder what they were. Just yesterday I realized that I didn't have them anymore...I can't remember when they left but I don't miss them. Hooray!
Also I was having clogged sinus in the morning---nothing terrible but there it was. It usually took a couple of hours before my voice cleared up. Again, it's gone..Whoopee!
I've been on this regime for quite a few months, now...have lost count. I've been doing well and usually pass the spit test, although I sinned a bit over Christmas and a few signs of yeast re-appeared. I'm on a low dose of all the supplements. I guess the yeast was in my body for so long that it made its way into places that I would not have guessed.
"just want to encourage people who may not be completely yeast free after the expected time. Good things are undoubtably happening.
I did run out of L-Glutamine and got Intestinew as you recommended, and am wondering, as Rena was, how long to take it. I don't really have gas or bloating, but I, too, want to make sure the holes are healed, since I have a long history of immune system weakness. I hate to waste anything! so I'm wondering if it's ok to go ahead and take it. Will it be harmful?
Thanks!!!
Hi Clover,
I would have no problem finishing off the IntestiNew. It's not like you were having constant and worsening brain fog that just wouldn't go away.
Unless I were having brain problems that just wouldn't let up, I would not worry about taking glutamine of IntestiNew one bit.
Btw, major congratulations on your skin and sinus problems! How great is that! Fantastic!
The best to you.

Ok, I'm a little confused about mercury fillings. I have them. Can I still do the Candidia cleanse?
Also, my 15 year old daughter developed acne. It seemed to be related to the heat. We're in Florida. She's had this for almost three years. Nothing has worked. Drs. tried topical meds and a a mild birth control pill. Didn't work, just made her hungry. A dermatologist dx. her with tropical acne and put her on the antibiotic, Doxycycline, for three months. She has only been on the meds for six weeks (isn't working yet).
Can she start this while still on the antibiotic?
Hi Kaci,
I would do my food craving recipe even with mercury fillings. The combination of broken cell chlorella (Sun or Kyoto brands from Swanson, for example) and apple pectin can be helpful for eliminating mercury from the body.
But my recipe seems to be working for folks and I'm sure many of them have mercury fillings.
Click on my name. I have another hub page regarding acne. It's basically the same recipe plus a little extra. Doctors don't realize this, but antibiotics and birth control pills promote bad skin.
Yes, they might suppress the acne for a while. But look out! They promote weight gain, and more skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis along with more acne.
You can live in Southernmost Florida and have beautiful skin. I'd get rid of the cause...that's the way to go.
If it were me, I'd be taking NO antibiotics.
The best to you.

Hey Kelley:
Did you mention taking something to turn your gray hair brown up above somewhere? (I can't find it, there's a lot of comments!!) How's it working?
Hi Heather,
Sorry for not answering earlier - I got sidetracked after reading your message and I don't even remember what it was.
You want this answer for your Mom, right? :-) Anyway, I'm not sure if the fo-ti combined with grated jalepeno peppers(not to be confused with habaneros peppers), lime juice and maple syrup in water worked or not.
I wasn't very faithful with it, doing it maybe two to three times a week, and then I ran out of the fo-ti. So I ordered some more two days ago.
I think it did work to some extent because it looked to me like there was less gray hair. But then a friend said...without my asking for any comments... my gray hair didn't look gray but silver! (Thanks a lot, friend!!)
And now that I haven't done it in a week or two, it looks like I might have more gray. I dunno.
So maybe the best thing would be for everyone's Mom to try it ;-) and then report back with their results. We could be on the verge of THE greatest discovery, as measured by the Oprah meter, yet.
I sure hope so. I think it would be so cool to be 58 and have no gray hair.
The best to you.

Hi kelly, Heather,
My uncle always had jet black hair. Then he became silver maned! some time later, his hair became actually white. Then he started on high blood pressure pills. Now this is my family - so don't give me a hard time, usually one's family has particularly no interest in anything alternative helpful things we may say... Apart from that when he took the high blood pressure medication, his hair colour returned to a dark silver. Now I find that interesting as we know that blood pressure is linked to the kidneys . Fo-ti is a kidney tonic. The Chinese say that haid hair is controlled by the kidneys, among many other functions. As we age we lose vital kidney energy and so hair loses colour. I suggest using other known kidney tonics in order to maximise benfit for restoring hair colour, such as :
B vitamins
Kidneys - to eat- organic onlyor at least free range , grass fed
oysters- also high in Zinc
Solidago or golden grass tea or tincture
Maca, a peruvian herb
Saw palmetto also good for prostate and also benefiacial for women with eg PCOS. The kidney is also involved in uro-genital health form a Chinese perspective.
Make sure the Kidney area is always warm. Don't do anything too taxin on the kidneys like heavy lifting.
Avoid caffeine and too much green tea, as this contains fluoride, which is taxing on the kidney adrenal system, and of course alcohol. Sorry!
Well Hope this helps!!! I'm going to try the Fo -Ti as well, but I did read it has to be prepared with black soybean or red Kidney bean, in order for the active substance to be release. No clues on how to prepare it htough. I'll just cook it all togethre, and do my usual witchy stuff and hope it works ;-)
Happy New year to All!

Hi Marianne,
Thanks for your insightful sharing. When I was in my mid-twenties I had kidney disease off and on for about five years. So that's a good list for me.
It's great how we can help each other!
The best to you.

hello kelley!
well i wanted to know if i should try this protocol because my body is already too acidic...wouldn't this add more acid to it?
Hi Tara,
The fact that some of these things are called acids can be confusing. Caprylic acid is a fatty acid. So is fish oil, including cod liver oil. They are all catabolic. In other words, they won't make a person more acidic.
The gutamine is an anabolic amino acid. If you wanted to skip it, that's your call. The plus side to it is that it patches the holes which keep the food from getting into the bloodstream before it is broken down completely.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley
I received all my supplements yesterday and I am anxious to start on the candida therapy. I am a 52 year old woman who is in very good health, and would like to keep it that way. I feel that I do have a candida overgrowth, but have kept it in check with apple cider vinegar (with the mother) for the past year. I think though that adding the prohobiotics will help greatly.
I did order the whole round of supplements, and I have a question. I started the olive leaf and caprylic acid today. The rest of the supplements say to take on an empty stomach in the morning. I thought I read that you took them with food so that is why my question.
The intestinew, the enzymes, the Primal defense all say take in the am on an empty stomach. I'm always afraid to take supplements first thing in the morning because sometimes i get an upset stomach. Just wanted you to clarify
Also, I take krill oil, vitamin e, b complex, and sometimes a mulit vitamin. Do I still continue to take these?
And I take the vinegar each morning. Should I discontinue using this?
Thanks so much. I really do enjoy your comments and i have great hope for this cure.
Cheryl
Hi Cheryl,
Why thank you, Cheryl!
The digestive enzymes are taken with food to help with digestion. Proteolytic enzymes are often taken on an empty stomach to reduce systemic inflammation. If taken with food the proteolytic enzymes help digest protein in the food.
With the IntestiNew and the Primal Defense, I'd take them as the label instructs. My instructions were for PB-8 and glutamine. I didn't think about the instructions for the other products.
I don't see any problem to continue taking the supplements you're taking.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Thankss for clarifying!! You really do give great advice, i am trying to find your book to buy =]
Only question i have now is which should i be taking on an empty stomach and which on a full stomach along with dosage/day ?
I have L-glutamine powder, olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, multi enzymes, and primal defense.
Thank you kelley!!
Hi Tara,
Here's how I would do it:
With food...
PB-8 2 capsules 1x day, Caprylic acid 1x a day, olive leaf extract1x a day, glutamine (anytime actually) 2x a day
Empty stomach... IntestiNew, Primal defense, for both follow instructions on bottle for dosage and times a day.
I'd take all the supplements you mentioned with food, too.
To order my book, click on my name. It should take you to my profile which includes a link to the ordering page. Thank you...you're gonna love it!
The best to you.

Thank you so much for all of this information. I am going to our local Vitimin World tomorrow. I will keep you posted. thanks again. Becky
my l glutamine (jarrow formulas) powder says 2 grams per scoop how many should i have a day and it also says on empty stomach...does it matter? is it ok to do everything in one day or only take certain parts first..like will this cause any damage to the body because i want to start it now.
Thankss!
Hi Tara,
My container says a dose is 4.5 grams, and that's what I use twice a day. Women could probably get away with doing half that amount.
If Jarrow says an empty stomach, by all means I'd do that. That way the glutamine wouldn't combine with another amino acid to become something else.
If ever I have a mental reservation about starting an entire program all at once, then I would listen to that inner guidance and start off with only one and add to it. I prefer starting with the PB-8 since it helps to get things moving, and it doesn't cause any sort of symptoms.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

well i just took one caprylic acid and one olive leaf extract and 1 digestive enzyme now with food, so later on th eempty stomach im gona take the glutamine and the probiotic...yayy i cant wait forr this yeastt too goo awayyy finally! Doctors prescibed me medication for it and it kept returning so hopefully this works a lot better. =]
Paaaartaaayy, Tara!
Hi Kelley and Marianne!
Thanks for the answers! Yeah, Kelley, this is for my mom! ;o) Actually it's for me. I"m not even 30 yet and I'm already getting gray hair...uggh! So I was hoping for something to at least slow those babies down! Marianne, I might have to look into some of those kidney supporting measures you recommended! Happy New Year to both of you!
Hi Kelley and All,
I lost the weight I gained during the Holidays, so I am at a total of 10 Lb loss. The rash seems to be gone, but on occasion I still have a little itch in the same places the rashes were. The rough skin patches are completely gone however, and I take that as a fabulous sign. The right side of my nostril seems to be clear most of the time, but the left side is still stuffy, and seems semi-clear some of the time. My spit test looked pretty good this morning. Only one long leg that did reach the bottom causing the fog at the bottom, but the rest of the spit was just short legs at the top.
Clover, you continue to be such an inspiration to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Kelley, you should have continued on the to-fi, because as of Thursday, all your hair will be gray due to the loss of the gators. GOOOOOOO SOOOOONNNNEEERRRSSSS!!!!
End of week 8 starting week 9. Peace, Rena.
P.S. Thought I will give my body a break from the supplements for a couple of days then resume. This is the first program I haven't given my body a break, but if I see any recurrence of any symptoms, I will restart immediately, still have all my candida killing arsenal in my cupboard.
Oops, one more thing I wanted to add. I noticed due to the cold weather, I wasn't drinking the amount of water I should have (very little in fact). I remember reading an article in a magazine from Dr. Well saying that green tea was the only beverage your body accepts the same as water (not in those exact words, just the jest of it). So I've been taking my 52 ounce of hot green tea to work with me, and I've been drinking it all. When the weather warms back up, back to the water again. Just a tip that might help someone else, Peace Rena.
Hi Rena,
You've really done a lot of good work to take care of yourself these last 8 weeks!
Thanks you for all the support you've provided by sharing your weekly updates. On behalf of the hundreds of people who come here each day and get inspired by your results, let me give you a big WHOPPING thank you!
There is one dire point I would like to warn you about, nonetheless. I'm glad you're taking a couple days off because the recipe has obviously had a harmful effect on your football judgment.
I'm also sorry to tell you there is no curative recipe for the dread CHOMP! You just cry until next year.
(Man, my team better win or I'm in deep trouble! LOL!)
The best to you.

Kelley, you just kill me, haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I didn't want you to know this, but confession is good for the soul (and yeast killing too I heard). I was thinking the same thing. (My team better win or I'm dead meat) Love ya Guy, Rena.
Hi Kelley! I just started the cleanse on Dec 30th. (Recommended by my chiro) I am a single mom of 2 boys, the youngest is 8 months. I thought all this time that since he doesn't sleep through the night that was why I was so tired. But already I have so much energy (Even with just a few hours of sleep!) I'm hoping to loose some pounds but also hoping it helps my psoriasis which is starting to take over my body since I had my baby. I plan on telling the world if this works for me. Actually about 10 people know I'm doing it. I'm the gineau pig! :) The first few days were killer too! I could barely lift my head out of bed (Except to vomit!) Geesh!!! Get out yeast!
Thanks! Jenn
Dear Kelley~
Wow!! What info.... I first learned about you from my friend, Dr. Mercola (he and I never met but I truly enjoy his newsletter/website)!
I am very anxious to get started with getting the yeast out! I have been doing some research and am enjoying all the comments. I have ordered all the "right" stuff from a vitamin/supplement supplier and will start when it arrives. My husband (43yrs) and 15 year old daughter are going to do it with me (43yrs). Is it normal to feel "bad" when you start this? like the vomiting that Jenim24 talks about? Just curious as what to expect especially with sending my daughter to school/activities and my husband to work! We are very healthy people. No illness/problems just overweight and full of yeast! Our daughter has recently told me that she seems to have a chronic yeast infection. So she's anxious to give it a whirl. I am about 40 pounds overweight. My husband about 80 pounds and our daughter about 50 pounds overweight. We are looking forward to 2009 and getting healthier.
Thanks much. Go GATORS!!!
Happy New Year to Kelly and Everyone here!
Rena: Thanks for your kind words! They came at a time when I'm feeling a little down....Ate some cookies last week and have been a little sloppy with my diet for the past few days. We're having lots of snow so it's hard to get out to walk. I lost a bunch of weight but put some back on with the lack of exercise. My spit test showed some yeast for several days which was discouraging but I upped my candida-killers and today was clear.
Rena, I am wondering how your iodine treatment is doing for your thyroid. Are you heating up yet? Yesterday I learned that my Armour thyroid quadrupled in price, so I'm considering leaving it and just relying on the Lugols. it's cold here and I seem to need soooo many blankets at night!
Another complication: I found a very good website on Lugol's iodine. There is an article on its history and how to measure it, as well as uses -- such as thyroid and also for candida control. What distressed me was that it said that if a person is using it for therapeutic purposed (which means more than one drop a day) that the person should not take anti--oxidents, such as Vit. C and he listed a bunch of other vitamins that are anti-oxidants!!! The reason given is that the iodine is an "oxident." Egad!
I don't know enough about this to understand just what happens in the body with an oxident or an ant-oxident. Kelley, can you explain this??? It gave me pause because I've been faithfully painting my stomach with the Lugols' each AM and taking a lot of vitamins, including the anti-oxidants. Do I have to cut out all my vitamins now?
It seems that the more I learn about all of this, that something new pops up and I have to learn some more.
Rena, thanks for the info about not wanting to drink water in the cold weather. I wasn't aware of that but I have found that I'm not drinking much. I guess I'll make green tea...don't like it but that's ok.
Thanks to all...This is a team effort!
Hi Jenim,
Good for you! Getting so much energy so fast - that's excellent! Way to go! Hey at this rate, maybe we can help half the US and anywhere else antibiotics are sold. :-)
The best to you.

Hi Lynnie,
Some people have had a few episodes of headaches or what have you. So what I might do is to start off slowly. I'd start with the PB-8 for a few days by itself, and then add in the caprylic acid for a few days, with the glutamine next and finally the olive leaf extract.
Some people who have had a hard time in the beginning decided to take two of the olive leaf and two of the caprylic aicd, in order to get their results faster.
As you can see, it has worked for them quickly. But more often than not, they feel lousy for a few days.
The best to you.

Hi Clover,
I must admit I don't know much about iodine. I'm not sure about the reasoning applied to not taking anti-oxidants while taking Lugol.

I loved this page and the responses because I have Candida and know how much it can effect your everyday life. Kelley I read and heard from Dr Whiting (Talked to him on the phone, he is an expert on it) that Oxygen or stabilized oxygen can clear up Candida better than anything because it can not live without dark damp places, he says that you don't eat Candida either and the diet will not rid it but subside symptoms. I also read in a magazine today about Cayene or Curry as an antifungal as well, it says in 2 weeks it can clear up 41% of it!!!! Just simple teaspoon of either or daily! I am on Dr Ohiras Probiotic which says it's one of the best out there, bar none! I am going to take the Cayenne too daily and see how it works. I need some enzymes I guess now and Glutamine as well right? I probably need to do all of the above to defeat this beast, and yes defeating it is NO easy feat as I found out for years now. I take thigns that supress it and take away symptoms for a while, but it always comes back, very tough stuff. Good page.
Hi Sean,
Lots of folks have been getting really good results using my recipe. Here's something to think about.
Let's say you cleared up ALL the yeast in your body but you still had the holes in your intestinal lining. That would mean food particles could slip through into the bloodstream where they don't belong.
As you can well imagine, it would create a real problem even though the yeast is under control.
My recipe is designed to take care of the yeast and the holes.
The basic program is olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, one a day. PB-8 - two a day (or Dr. Ohiras as directed on the label) and two scoops of glutamine a day.
Probably most would benefit from the digestive enzymes as well. Those with auto-immune disorders will love what a couple months of Vitalzyme will do for them in removing scar tissue and inflammation.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, Thank you for replying my e-mail. I would like to ask you a few questions in regard to the items I need to buy to loose weight specially my belly which it has been the hardest to get rid of, and no matter on what kind of diet I've been on. I have been reading http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Flatten-Your-Tummy- and other items added in order to loose weight like the glutamine powder... I would like to know what kind of schedule I need to have the amount and the order in which I have to take the supplements. I love your hub page. I am enjoying reading the questions and answers. Your are a nice guy.Thank you again,Belinda
Hi Belinda,
Thank you for re-asking your question here so that many others can benefit from the question and the answer.
The basic program is olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, one a day. PB-8 - two a day and two scoops of glutamine a day. They can be taken at any time. The glutamine might work optimally if taken on an empty stomach
If I suspected I had a lot of yeast to deal with, I'd start with the PB-8 for a few days by itself and then add the caprylic acid for a few days. Next would be the glutamine, followed by the olive leaf.
If I were taking digestive enzymes, I'd start with those immediately with meals. Each person needs to find the amount of enzymes they need to help with their digestion.
The best to you.

Hi Clover,
Thank you for your kind words. After I completed the constant 2 weeks of 4 drops of iodine, I dropped down to 2X a week on the 4 drops, and seem to be doing much better in the warm department. Before the iodine kicked in, I would cheat and take an Epsom salt/Magnesium oil hot bath before going to bed. This would warm me up to the bone and help me to sleep like a baby. Get the water as hot as you can stand, soak for about 20 minutes, works like a charm. If you don't have the Magnesium oil, just the epsom salt will do, it is cheap and can be found at any store. Your skin will love it, it makes it so soft. I do a quick rinse with clean water by turning on the shower, while the tub is draining.
I'm no expert on iodine either, I just remembered how it warmed me up before, and was suffering with the cold thing like you are, and you reminded me of what to do. I don't think it is a substitute for hormone replacement though, I would be careful. Hormones is like a domino effect, when one gets out of balance, it throws off all the rest.
I use to be a big coffee drinker, but knew the caffeine was to much for me, but still wanted that hot drink in the morning. At first I wasn't crazy about it, but now I am hooked, I hope you end up liking it or you won't keep at it. I get Uncle Lee's Tea at a local health food store, they sell 100 organic green tea bags for under 7 dollars, best price I've found. Peace, Rena.
Hi all....
Kelley and/or Rena61
Rena, thanks for the info page about the spit test. Since being so new, I am trying to unturn every stone. My 15yr daughter did it and it grew legs and sank to the bottom quickly. Mine was somewhat leggy but did not sink to bottom. Does this mean she has more aggressive yeast problems? Where do I go from here with that info?
Thanks:)
Hi Lynnie,
That would be my guess...the more concentrated the yeast is in the spit it would seem that it would fall faster.
Has anyone else heard anything different?
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Hi Lynnie, that has been my experience to the T. When I took the test many years ago, I had yeast under control, and most of the spit just floated on the top, practically un-changed. I remember that there were one or two short legs, that I almost over looked, because they could only be seen when I looked from the the bottom of the glass looking up.
About 3 years ago,I had bronchitis and was desperate and went to the doctor, and was given anti-biotics, and some kind of medicine inhaler. I think this is when my real problems began.
Fast forward to three years later. Last March, I came down with a sinus infection, and did next to nothing about it. I had it for about 7 months, my sleep was greatly disturbed, my immune system weakened, I was totally stopped up, no air coming in, no air coming out. Then some weeks before Halloween I went nuts and ate chocolate candy bars like crazy, (embarrassingly so). My body then broke out into such a terrible rash, I went insane with scratching. It was on my legs, stomach, chest and back, and formed these patches, like I had thick red skin on top of my skin. (sorry I don't know how to describe it any better than that).
I did the spit test again, because my symptoms were pointing towards systematic Candida. Nearly all the spit flooded to the bottom, what little remained on top had long legs, the white specks in the middle, but most was on the bottom, in a white fog. My first reaction was, this is not good. I already had Kelley bookmarked for his cancer protocol, and I don't know what made me look but I read his flatten your tummy protocol. I thought this guy really knew his stuff, I am one miserable lady, so that began my journey to being back to almost normal again now. I still have a way to go, but I am indebted to him for all the wonderful knowledge he has unselfishly given.
Yeast is very, very difficult to get back under control once it's let loose in your system. This protocol works, and it works faster than anything else out there, and safely too.
I've never went into solid detail about why I am here. I guess you were the lucky one for me to unload all the gory details to LOL!!!
If I were you, I would get myself and my precious daughter on the recipe, and don't stop until you have a week or two of clean spit, and don't forget to check from time to time there after to keep it in check. Peace and Good health to you and your dear Daughter, Rena.
heyy kelley!
I was just wondering what can be done to help diabetes. My mom is a diabetic and has to take insulin, but i feel like she could be helping her self naturally. I know she just started taking alpha lipoic acid, multivitamin/mineral,chromium,selenium,folic acid and vitamin C..but still her sugar is really high. Have any ideas? Thanks a lot
Lellie, On one of your earlier posts, you mentioned something about going to the gym for an hour at a time for five days and still not losing weight. You may want to check out the Dr. Sears program which focuses on shorter duration exercises at higher intensities - it really makes a lot of sense. Google Dr. Sears and you'll see the info.

Hi Kelley, I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and your new year will bring you much happiness.
I am sitting here watching Oprah, I don't really care for her so I hardly ever watch but today I happened to flip past her show and saw that again she is on the diet thing. As I'm watching I'm thinking, How sad that you think you can never be thin again and that you feel so empty inside. She wants to know why you are overweight, what will bring you joy and what are you really hungy for. Why did you fail? How I wish I could just pick up the phone and tell you about Kelleys program.
I know excatly how she is feeling. I too felt like her and I was always looking for "THE ANSWER" and I have to say that I have finally found "THE ANSWER" with your program. I no longer feel empty inside after eating, I no longer keep checking the cupboards or fridge for something to eat even when I am not hungry, I no longer wonder why I cant lose weight, I no longer wish I had the perfect body. Granted I haven't lost as much weight as I wanted to but I am happy with my body and I know that in time I will be at my ideal weight. In the meantime, I am living life to the fullest and enjoying the fact the weight has been lifted off my shoulders by following your program! You have given me a peace of mind and I will always be eternally thankful for you coming into my life!
Hi Rena,
Thank you for sharing your personal story so vividly...it's that kind of detail that really helps people.
I especially liked the part where you talked about me. ;-)

Hi Tara,
If I had Type II diabetes, I'd certainly follow my recipe along with the alpha lipoic acid. Candida is probably what causes diabetes. Get rid of the candida and sugar usually normalizes.
Vitamin World carries a combo product of cinnamon and chromium picolinate. I'd take one of them with each meal to help normalize my sugar quickly. The beauty of cinnamon is that it won't let the sugar get too low either.
Cinnamon is also a yeast fighter.
Vitalzym is definitely something Id bombard myself with if I had Type I diabetes...I'd take 5 three times a day for at least two months. Dr. William Wong has seen at least two Type I patients CURED with the enzymes.
I helped a woman with Type I with WobenzymN which isn't as good as Vitalzym in my opinion. She had a paralyzed stomach (gastroparesis (sp?)) due ot diabetic nerve damage. She had it for six years. On the third day, she could hear her stomach start gurgling...it was working!
Vitazym can help Type II as well with their nerve damage.
The best to you.

Hi Liquidfire,
Wow! your message was quite profound! It really struck a chord.
So, Oprah feels empty despite eating and eating. That was pretty much the way 'Carla' described it, too. But then she got her yeast under control and that feeling vanished.
Did you know that each one of us is only six relationships or less from knowing Oprah? I'm three away from Bill Gates. I worked closely with a man whose son has a close business relationship with Gates.
If each person who reads this would email your message to their buddy list, it could reach quite far.
Likewise, the "Lend It To End It: the gift to end cancer" program of "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer" could also reach Oprah, Ellen Degeneres, etc.
With their audiences of millions, plus the subsequent word of mouth, we could help a lot of people.
Today I saw a teen-aged boy with bad acne. He had his 'goth' black hair combed forward so that it covered part of his face. His eyes looked so sad...my impression was that he was in a great deal of emotional pain not as a transient feeling but more like he was a prisoner of his acne covered face.
I did not walk up to him and his family and help him. But I'd like to save that boy before it's too late. If we just send that email, 'Stumble Upon' this, Digg It, etc, we can reach that boy and all the teen-aged boys and girls who are dying inside from shame and embarrassment.
We can 'pick up that phone' in a manner of speaking. We can get a message to anyone by being a part of the daisy chain.
The best to you.

Thanks so much for your response. That was very interesting Rena, thank You! I loved reading all the gory details. Kelley's right, that's how we learn more! I am a mom of 3 girls and my husband is a plumber by trade so I am used to Gory and Drama!! lol! I could relate to the chocolate eating..... I love, love, love chocolate! I am hoping this system will help me with my chocolate cravings. Thanks again!
Hi Kelley et al!
Rena: Thanks for the update and added info!. It seems that every time I tune in here I get a new valuable tidbit. It never occured to me to "take" my iodine at night, because I was told that it gave me energy and I should do it in the am and/or later in the afternoon. But I do tend to get cold at night so I might try that. i love epsom salts soaks, too. And I love my electric mattress warmer, (which I do turn off when I get in bed. )
I'm not stopping hormones, by the way. I do those in a specially formulated gel. What I'm thinking of stopping is the Armour thyroid.
If anyone is interested, thieres is a really interesting website on Lugol's iodine, called The Lost Knowledge of Iodine. It has a good article on the relationship of Iodine to thyroid as well as other immune system diseases. I could not reach it from its web address, though. I had to Google the name of the site and reach it from there. You can buy the higher grade Lugols' stuff through them, too, I think.
Cheers to all!
Kelley:
Thank you so much for making this information available. I found your link on Mercola.com. I am going to start your program as I've been reading through your hub and all of the comments and am very encouraged. I found all the products I need on www.vitaglo.com, my favorite supplement store online.
I have decided to do a colon cleanse first using:
Nature's Secret PARASTROY 90&90 CT
Should I do that program alone, first before I do your program? Should I do your program first?Can I do them together at the same time?
For your program, I am thinking about using the following products:
Now Vitamins - Caprylic Acid 600 mg 100 Softgels
NOW VITAMINS - OLIVE LEAF EXT 500mg 120 VCAPS
NUTRITION NOW PB 8 Pro-Biotic Acidophilus 120 caps
NOW VITAMINS - GLUTAMINE PURE PWD 6 OZ
Rainbow Light ALL-ZYME DBLE STRNGTHThen I thought it would be beneficial to follow up with a Mercury Cleanse, so I was thinking about using:
Renew Life - MERC-Free Cleanse 30-Day Program
I thought I would pass this by you and ask your opinion if you feel that these are good selections to follow your program and if the colon cleanse and mercury-cleanse are beneficial additions to that program. Would you make any changes and/or have any additional recommendations? Do you feel that a mercury cleanse is necessary? I don't know if I have any symptoms, per se, but my parents did tell me I bit down on a mercury thermometer when I was about 3. The mercury cleanse includes Milk Thistle, so if I don't do the Mercury Cleanse, I thought it might be beneficial to add Milk Thistle to the end of your program as well, what are your thoughts on that? I've read that Milk Thistle will help your liver deal with all the toxins being released during these cleanses.
I am B-12 and Iron Anemic and am currently taking B-12 (Cyanocabalamin) and a Standard Process Ferrofood for my Iron. Would you discontinue the B-12 during the cleanse as I've been reading that B-12 feeds yeast?
I value your opinion, and thank you for taking the time to address my questions and concerns. (I know there are many... hehehehe) I will definitely be back to report what I've actually used, my progress and results doing it all.
Thanks again!
Heidi
Hi Heidi,
People have used my recipe either way. Either before or after a cleanse. Whichever way you choose to do first is up to you.
A Chiropractor with the screen name JennJen recommended eliminating the mercury if you have it because yeast has one good role among its many bad ones. It tries to neutralize mercury.
So eliminating mercury sounds like something I would want to do if I had bitten down on a mercury thermometer when I was little.
I don't have an opinion on the B-12.
The best to you.

Hey kelley
one more question is she able to do this while still on the insulin..she takes 30 units of humulin in the morning and 40 units of lantis at night..i dont want her to overdose how would she monitor it.
Also i checked her ph her saliva is very acidic for the past two days (5.0)..what foods should she be eating
Thank you.
Hi Kelley, I wanted you to know that I'm making progress with the yeast overgrowth slowly, but surely. Like you stated in a earlier post, I think some of my cravings are purely habitual, and not a result of starving yeast. I'm beginning to be able to tell the difference, but I've had the overgrowth for so long, sometimes it's difficult to tell. I still have one nagging problem, however, and that's a burning sensation in my throat that even goes up into the gland behind my ear - it comes after eating. I almost feel like it could go away if I didn't eat for three days. Of course I also like to drink a beer or two in the evening which I know isn't good, but...Thanks for your help.

Hi Tara,
I would monitor my blood sugar levels to make sure I was doing okay, and adjust things as needed.
Cinnamon is a great herb because it opens and shuts the cell wall doors based on how much sugar is needed to keep the blood and the cells balanced.
That is why cinnamon can lower high blood sugar and raise low blood sugar. By taking cinnamon with each meal, it helps to ensure a more stable blood sugar profile.
The best to you.

Hi Tara,
I'm reluctant to tell people - especially diabetics - what to eat or what not to eat because they aren't going to follow it. For instance, coffee, alcohol and sugar are no no's. Salads would be great. Good luck. :-)
I would supplement with a tablespoon of emulsified cod liver oil and 600 mgs of alpha lipoic acid, both twice a day to see if my urine pH improved.
My recipe for food cravings enables the person to change their desires effortlessly. Before that happens, the brain needs the sugar to keep brain cells from dying.
The best to you.

Hi Louis,
I'm glad to hear that my recipe is working for you! You ain't seen nothing yet!
If I had a nagging, burning sensation in my throat and ear I might get a bottle of Alkalol from my pharmacist. It's an all natural liquid. The pharmacist might have to order it, so I'd call ahead.
They can get most things in one day. I'd gargle with it full strength a couple times a day to see if it would help me.
I'd probably put some in a spray bottle at 1/2 strength and spray it in my sinuses, or buy a bottle of SinusBuster and spray that.
Check out a product called RU-21 which is available online and in many stores. I take them each and every time I drink a glass of wine.
Some of the ingredients are the same ones Dr. Emanuel Revici used to treat alcoholics. It works even better for non-alcoholics...it helps to spare brain cells, liver cells, skin cells, and throat cells.
It can help prevent a person who is not an alcoholic from becoming one, because the incremental damage that alcohol does with daily drinking can lead to it.
The best to you.

great hub
I just came on this sight today andit has taken about 20 hours to make it through the articaland most of the post. It was not possible to read all of them even in that time. there were many things that impressed me but I have a big question about the original formula, as it seem most are not using the habanero and garlic sandwich but just using the suppliments. If that is not true, then they are not seeming even a little affected by the harshness of sticking to this food which really suprizes me. I do not understand, are they really doing it???? please comment1
Hi KD,
Could you rephrase your question?I can't quite tell what you are asking.
By the way, there are two different recipes. I have one recipe for how I cured my Stage 4 cancer. And then there is the recipe for this hub that helps with food cravings.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley and Gang! (i've spent the last few days looking through your notes and i feel as though I know you all!)
I'm finally 'getting off the fence' and joining you all. Will keep you updated on my progress.
In Love and Light
Louise
Yes i understand completely!!! its difficult to explain to my mom that she shouldnt be eating what she eats all the time.
But anywho its been 5 days on the protocol im happy to have lost weight but now im getting a lot of bloating and uncomfortable gas and loose stool...maybe i should stop taking the multi- enzyme?
I bought most of the products and order olive leaf extract today. I live in Amsterdam and it is extremely difficult to obtain - there is no demand. I am very excited to start as I have to loose at last 20llbs and have been gaining and loosing in a yo-yo fashion. After 3 babies now ages 5 to 1 1/2 years old - I am very eager to get back in shape and good health.
Thank you for sharing with everyone. All the best!!
Hey Kelley, Thanks for your response. I'm planning on getting some of the RU 21 - our health food store didn't have - the lady started laughing and I finally figured it out - I said I do realize I'm no longer 21 - I can'r believe it took me that long for it to dawn on me. Anyway, I wanted to share a little about my experience with your candida recipe. After having taken the supplements for over a month, I am beginning to notice subtle, but significant changes. For example, when I was grocery shopping yesterday, the celery and green peppers actually looked good. And they sounded better than a twinkie, or a carton of ice cream. Now the brussel sprouts still don't win over a caramel apple, but there's progress. I've had a lot of luck with alternating NSI's Yeast Clean (from Vitacost) and Olive Leaf Extract. I'm taking the Mercola probiotics and the Intestinew. I'm actually on my second bottle of those. The thing I've noticed most is that I have a peace of mind I haven't had for years. It's a calming feeling that allows me to focus more on things I want to accomplish rather than being distracted by those awful food cravings and unsettling lurches within my system. I smile more and see that life really can be fun. I see that I can accomplish without every ounce of effort I have. I hope I'm not sounding hoaky here - it's just how I feel. Thanks so much for making these posts available. I wanted to also add that partience is truly a virtue when it comes to this recipe. There is a war in your system between the good guys ( good bacteria) and the bad guys (candida albicans). The bad guys have had their way for many, many years. Once they begin dying off, things change for the better, but it's a gradual thing. Also, even when the good guys do finally take over, your system may not believe it. Even though you truly don't want sugar, your system still may be deceived into thinking it needs it. When you finally do settle into the reality of having a clear system again, I think you will rediscover the healthy you and things will change for the better.

Hi Tara,
I would attribute loose stools and bloating to the olive leaf extract rather than the enzymes, if it were me. Enzymes help to prevent bloating. It's unlikely that they would cause it.
On the other hand, when there's a lot of yeast die off, there can be both bloating and gas. So I'd slow down on the olive leaf and the caprylic acid. Maybe I'd only take one or the other and only take one for the whole day.
The best to you.

Hi smlandme,
If I three little ones under five, I'd go slowly to avoid any downtime. I'd start with two PB-8 for 3-4 days, add 1 caprylic acid for 3-4 days, then add two scoops of glutamine for 3-4 days, and then add one olive leaf extract a day.
The best to you.

Hi Louis,
I'm going to quote part of what you wrote because it is exactly what I experienced:
"After having taken the supplements for over a month, I am beginning to notice subtle, but significant changes. For example, when I was grocery shopping yesterday, the celery and green peppers actually looked good. And they sounded better than a twinkie, or a carton of ice cream....
"The thing I've noticed most is that I have a peace of mind I haven't had for years.

I smile more and see that life really can be fun. I see that I can accomplish without every ounce of effort I have."
My headline says it's EFFORTLESS. This is why I don't provide a diet. You'll find your own healthy diet and DESIRE it. Animals in the forest aren't half as smart as us, yet they don't have weight problems.
I have NEVER seen a wild animal living in the wild who was fat. Not one. Okay maybe a hippo. ;-) They don't have constant cravings for foods that don't work for them.
That's because they don't get antibiotics! :-0 LOL
Excellent post, Louis!

Hi Kelley, just wanted to thank for this wonderful prescription (that's what is to me).
It's been 3 wks since I've started the regimen. The first week was rough I had bloating and A LOT of gas..wheww. I also had headaches( just on day 1 and 2). The second week was a little better, and no more headaches. The third week I had no symptoms the first half and then half way through I started getting headaches right after taking the pills and gut cramping. I started to take each supplement 1 at a time with an hour in between each one. I figured out that the glutamine triggered a headache within an hour of taking, and gut cramps within 3. My instinct is that since I have a history of MSG sensitivity ( I know it's not the same as that) and gluten sensitivity, that maybe once my body got what it needed (repaired the leaky gut) it triggered these side effects.
So I stopped taking it, and guess what? No symptoms, no gas, no cramping. What do you think about my theory?
The positive things about this regimen is:
I lost an inch off my waist
I have NO cravings for sugar
I have no gas and bloating
I have more energy and clarity, and I don't feel as deprived when I don't get enough sleep.
I'm going to continue with the regimen until I run out, then I'm going to take the spit test and go from there. I still have a thin white coating on my tongue, but it is thinner. Okay, I didn't mean to ramble on so :)
Hi Saara,
Thanks for sharing your story. I look at the glutamine as a temporary part of the recipe, too, as is the caprylic acid and the olive leaf. It's like painting the living room. When we've painted it and it's done, we stop painting.
I'd glad you're feeling so much better, with more energy and alertness, and have reduced your waist size. Very cool!
The best to you.

I stumbled into your web page the last of Nov. and WOW, what a lot of info. It took me a couple of weeks just to mentally digest and research all the questions and comments. Really appreciated the mention of xylitol. Got your book last week but haven't gotton very far--been dealing with 4 ft. of snow.
My interest in yeast infection was prompted by my rescue dog's constant itching, scratching and biting his hair off. For 6 years, the only answer from vets is steroids or antibiotics which I refused. For 2 months I have him on a yeast program from Nzymes simular to your program. I don't see any like L-Glutamine. Is there anything on your program (reduced amounts of course) that would be harmful for my 35 lb. dog? I know that you are not a vet but the results of yeast overgrowth is similar. Any ideas are welcome, I have tried everything.
I started on your program as soon as I found it. No great changes in a month, but I notice less mucus in mouth and throat and large brown spots on my arms are getting smaller and lighter.
Hi Eloise,
I'm down here in sunny Florida after living in the DC area for nearly 40 years. I'd like to spend a few days up North - traveling - when there was a BIG snow storm. It is so pretty and peaceful from inside a big glass window pane.
It's great to hear that you have large brown spots getting smaller and lighter colored on your arms. You never know what something like that could become.
I can't give any advice for dogs and cats because sometimes, what is extra healthy for us can make a pet sick or worse. I'd suggest Googling to see of anyone the ingredients in my recipe would be harmful, and check out what has worked for other pet owners, too.
The best to you.

Hey kelley
im a bit concerned i put my mom whose a diabetic on the protocol yesterday but today she got crazy chills, she kept shivering is something wrong it didnt happen to me does that mean shes getting alot of die off...any idea on whats goin on and how to minimize it...got me a little nervous.
Thanks a lot.
Hi! After 2 weeks, I seemed to crave sugar even worse, much worse than before. Mostly pizza, chocolate type stuff. Is this normal? I used PB8, Olive Leaf, Intestinew and Caprylic Acid. Took them twice daily (except the Intestinew, just in the morning). Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
Hi Tara,
You might have missed my message that I'd go slow. I'd start with just the PB-8 for 3-4 days. If that was okay, then I'd add 1 caprylic acid a day for 3-4 days before adding the glutamine for 3-4 days.
Staying at the same dosage, I'd finally add 1 olive leaf a day and stay there for a couple weeks before considering upping any dosages.
There is no rush when doing this. Take your time.
The best to you.

Hi Mike,
Yes, that can happen. I'd cut down to one olive leaf and one caprylic acid for a while.

Congratulations Gators!!
Thank you Kelly for your feedback. I will definitely go slowly because as you mentioned I cannot afford any downtime. I love reading the experiences of other - gives me hope. I will report on my process in a few months.
Thanks again.
Hi Kelley,
I just noticed your site about two weeks ago. I sent to Vita Cost for the products. The olive leaf extract is 500 mg and the caprylic acid is 360 mg caps. How many of these do I take each day? Thanks for a reply.
Rosa
Hi Rosa,
I'd start with one a day of the caprylic acid and the olive leaf for two weeks before raising the dose any. I'd take two PB-8's, and one scoop of the glutamine twice a day. If I were using IntestiNew, I'd follow the instructions on the bottle.
An alternative way to avoid a strong cleansing reaction would be to start with the PB-8 for 3-4 days by itself, add one caprylic for the next 3-4 days, then add the glutamine or IntestiNew for 3-4 days, and then finally add the olive leaf extract.
If I was taking enzymes, which in most cases is beneficial, I would start with those immediately.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley and thank you so much for this info! Is it important to do a colon cleanse first before doing this approach? I just wondered if getting rid of all the bad bacteria wuold be a problem without first cleansing the colon. Thanks!
Hi Alicia,
I like that strategy. People have done it either way, with or without a colon cleanse. Doing a colon cleanse first or together could lessen the cleansing reactions.
The best to you.

i stopped giving my mom the caprylic acid and olive leaf extract so now im only giving her one probiotic but shes still getting the severe chills and fever on and off (shes type 2 diabetic) should i just stop giving her anything? will milk thistle help..she was telling me her urine was very bubbly
I'm almost ready to start this program with my wife.
She was prescribed Omeprazole (proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)) for stomach upset.
I assume once her yeast is under control so will this problem, but for the short term will this drug interfere with this program?
Thanks
Hi Tara,
I'm sorry to hear that your mom is feeling so poorly.While I can imagine easily a reaction to the olive leaf extract and caprylic acid, I have never heard of anyone getting a reaction to the PB-8.
If anything, I'd want to continue taking PB-8 if I had a fever.
As to what has caused her illness, I couldn't say. She might have reacted to the olive leaf extract. Diabetics do have lowered immune systems. She might have a flu, although I certainly couldn't say from here.
If I had the flu, I'd be taking fish oil and garlic and perhaps goldenseal.
It could even be a combination of the herbs with medications. If I had diabetes, I would prefer taking care of it only naturally because the one never knows how a drug will interact with an herb.
Bubbly urine can be an indication of high surface tension, which is correlated to being too anabolic, a common response in diabetics.
Obviously, I can't treat your mom from here. If you feel she needs to see a physician, I would do that.
The best to you.

Hi Randy,
I hope you will and everyone else will take this the right way because I'll about to KO the field of medicine. This guys were the brightest in their class and they get extensive training. So it's hard to conceive how they could be so utterly wrong...and yet they are.
The stomach is supposed to be acidic, about 5.0 pH, while the rest of the body is supposed to be a little bit alkaline. In fact, if the stomach isn't acidic enough, the rest of the body will go even more alkaline to give the stomach more acidity.
Proton pump inhibitors block the stomach's acidity thereby throwing of the entire body's pH balance. This is a VERY bad idea. The stomach needs acid to break down protein. Without it, acid reflux and poorly protein is the result.
Our body needs protein for muscles and to make enzymes. Without any enzymes we would die instantly...that's how important they are.
Now someone reading this might say, "What's your training, Kelley? Do you have a medical degree??"
So I'd like to answer that question this way. There have been quite a few people who have come here and decided to follow my recipe after they'd been stuck with worsening problems. They had been to doctors and the doctors didn't help them.
In fact, in most cases their doctors caused their illnesses. Then they came here and guess what happened...they got well. If I'd had a medical degree, my advice might have been different, and those people would not have gotten well.
Over and over again it's the same thing: Go to the doctor...get sick. Follow my recipe...experience a darned near miracle. No, my recipe doesn't work for everyone. And I'm not a miracle worker.
But I worked in a doctor's office, so I've got a little bit of experience in seeing the failure there.
Patients who came to see the doctor didn't get well...they got managed. How could they get well? Some got antibiotics and the rest got drugs to counteract the first drugs they were given. Yes, I'm overstating it to make a point. Actually the second half were there to overcome the antibiotics they were given. ;-)
Just like antibiotics are bad medicine, PPI's are terrible medicine.
I don't know what the effect of the combination of my recipe and the PPI's would be. I do know that PPI's by themselves are horrible for one's health in the long term.
It's already been shown that the herb DGL heals ulcers if that is what one has. Aloe Vera juice is also helpful for heartburn and acid reflux.
So I can't say how or to what extent the drug might interfere with my recipe. If it were me, I'd find other ways to treat my stomach problems.
The best to you.

PS. To keep this hub page focused on helping with questions about my recipe, I won't be opening the floor to discussions about the validity of this or that. I just wanted to address an issue as it pertains to my recipe. So no responses please. Just continue asking questions about your own situation.
Is the align-a-spine mat essential to success with the chi machine? If so, where can it be found? I have tried following the links with no success.
I just got the gluamine yesterday and started a teaspoonful a day at first. I take the probiotic and this now, then I will add the antifungal as well this week. I wondered by chance if my beer cravings at night are from the yeast or if that effects it? I crave beer late and have a few each night. I also crave things with BBQ like wings each night for some reason? The cravings for me are different than most who crave chocolate or tons of sugar, I crave carbs in the beer or burgers (Buns) and chicken wings! I know yeast can do this, parasites as well? If I do this then it should take care of both at the same time? Great article once again and I love it and the responses I like even better.
BTW You are in FLA huh? I am a huge GATORS fan, as many said GO GATORS.
Hi Linda,
The Chi machine works by itself just fine. The very first time I used it, I slept better than I had in over a year.
You can go ahead and email me, and I'll get you the information.

Hi Kelley and All,
I just noticed a change in my spit test that I haven't noticed before. It is more translucent whereas before it was more milky white. It still had long legs, and fog at the bottom URRG!
The right side of my nostril has been completely open, and the left side semi-open. I even put away the saline solution, don't need it anymore.
Rash patches never has returned, but I still get a slight itch from time to time. I think it might be the starch in potatoes, going to cut them out and see if it gets better. This prompted me to go with one more round of intestinew because I thought if I am still getting a bit of an itch, I still might have a bit of leaky gut. Still taking the rest of the recipe, I only gave my body a break last Sunday, and Monday, then resumed Tuesday. Did not suffer any recurrent die off, or had relapse in cravings.
Kelley, still reading the book, only on page 232, will give report when finished, then news letter time if you would be so kind.
End of Week 9 starting Week 10, Peace, Rena.
Hi M.Kelley hope yu are well.Been meaning to write b4 now, but came down with v bad cold and flue!took almost x2 weeks to get better!still got a slight cough...
was taking: x Paractamolx5 vitamin c 500mg& x1 olive leaf extractEvery 4 hours. Was there anything else i could have done?& had a v.chesty cough still plays up at nighttried a few different things but this hasn't shifted much!
also meantioned yur programme to a close friend of mine:She is an insulin reliant Diabetec, wants to breast feed her baby another year, v.low on her energy and candida positive.what would be yur recommendations for her...?
Also usually i feel extremely cold all the time but begining to feel a bit warmer. Could this be a sign of things getting better internally?
HI KELLY, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CHI MACHINE FOR WEIGHT LOSS? AND AT WHAT NUMBER SHOULD MY PH BALANCE BE AT? I GUESS I BUY THOSE URINE TEST STICKS? THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALLOWING US TO ASK ALL THESE QUESTIONS.
Hi Rose,
If I can catch it in the first several minutes, elderberry is the fastest thing I've ever seen for stopping a flu. For me and a former coworker it would know it out in 20 minutes!
But if it gets a hold of me then garlic, echinacea and particularly goldenseal works the best for me. The ech. and goldenseal combo got rid of one for me in a day or less.
If I had diabetes...which can make a person feel they have low energy...I'd start slowly with my recipe, starting with the PB-8 for 3-4 days, add caprylic acid for 3-4 days, add glutamine for 3-4 days and not take the olive leaf while breast feeding. I'd also add cinnamon capsules, 500 mgs with each meal.
I'd monitor my sugar while doing this. Cinnamon has the ability to lower sugar when it is too high and at the same time prevent it from going too low. Pretty cool!
Diabetes and yeast overgrowth go hand in hand, btw.
The best to you.

Hi El Capitan,
I understand the Chi machine works great for weight loss. I can't speak from personal experience because I also have a bad shoulder. For weight loss the person is supposed to extend their arms sort of like in a diving position but with the hands apart. I can't do that very well.
I'm getting "Bowen Technique" treatments which is supposed to help free up my shoulder, and it has somewhat after two sessions. It's also supposed to help some with my back which is usually quite stiff to compensate for the broken pars on my L-5.
If you don't have a Chi machine yet and are wanting to get one, feel free to email me at awthrawthr@yahoo.com.
The best to you.

Hi El Capitan,
I have the CHI machine and I love it. I sleep so well at night and feel so much better and have a lot more energy. Wait till you get the tingle from the Chi machine it is awesome!
I also have the ERE machine, and do a foot massage every day. It helps with getting rid of the yeast and the parasites.
I know they are a little spendy but well worth the money! How can you put a price on your health?
Hi Kelley,
Wow!! I am so excited to do this program. I have terrible sugar cravings and the worst thing is my Dr. Pepper addiction...seriously, I actually drink 6 to 12 cans a day...for me it's an addiction. I have quit several times over my lifetime but in a few weeks I'm back at it. I'm thankful to say that I'm blessed with excellent health but I'm at my all time highest overweight and have always been a yo-yo dieter. Since I'm now 58 years old and haven't been able to lose weight no matter what I do the past couple of years....your protocol gives me a lot of HOPE!!!
I've been on it for a week now and I do have a question about the L-glutamine....does it have to be taken on an empty stomach? What I've understood is that means 2 hours with no food and I'm actually discovering that I eat all the time and rarely go 2 hours without eating...yikes.
Thanks for your help. You are a Godsend. Bless you.
Goldenhorse
Goldenhorse yours is Dr Pepper I see, mine is like 5 beers each night, it's a craving of mine! Glutamine is best on an empty stomach and it is hard to do when you are eating something all the time, I guess just try your best and if not an hour before or after will work in due time regardless. Does anyone else get depression from their yeast? When mine acts up I feel hopeless and at times even get bad anxiety in the mornings. My cravings are very intense and I am glad I found this page as well, it seems it was overdue and I have had the yeast too long to just continue to suppress it and let is slide. It was time for a program, one that works (I always hated those diets, way too hard with cravings). hopefully.
BTW sorry for two posts in a row, but when you talk enzymes is it only digestive ones you can use with food or can I use a Enzyme for Candida like Candida Yeast Management from NSI or Candex or something like that? I already have the NSI one and did NOT want to spend anymore money than needed, thanks in advance Kelley.
Hi El Capitan,
Dr. Revici wanted the pH to go both below and above 6.2 pH. I've been saying 6.3 pH from memory. With pH sticks, it'll be hard to tell the difference between 6.2 and 6.3. He checked the patients' pH 4 times a day.
The best to you.

Hi Goldenhorse,
One scoop of the glutamine can be done the first thing in the morning. Although it's optimal to take it on an empty stomach, I wouldn't let that stop me from taking it at any time.
Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi Sean,
While you're doing this I invite you to look up a product called RU-21. It helps to protect you from the negative effects of drinking alcohol. The main problem is that it dries out our organs...not a good thing.
The ingredients contain things that Dr. Revici used in his original natural medication, so I know it's good.
The best to you.

Thanks Kelley for such a quick reply.....I will start doing that first dose in the morning! And I will keep you posted on my progress.
I've lost 2 pounds already. I'm very happy with that.
I also directed a very close friend of mine to your hubs on cancer. She has a tumor in her lung and in her brain. She's been doing the chemo and radiation. She's very oriented to doing what the doctors say but at least she's open to alternatives.
Thanks again!!
Tara - I am a borderline diabetic (controlled by diet) On my 3rd day, mid afternoon. I had SEVERE chills. I could not get warm, nothing at all helped. I also vomited a few times, had a pounding headache, I could barely move. It did pass, BUT I was not drinking alot of water either. So... your mom is not the 1st to experience this and it did go away for me. And I started with 1 Olive Leaf, 1 Caprylic, 1 PB8, 1 mutlienzyme, and 2 tsp glutamine 2x day. Then upped it after 8 days. I'm not sure I'm helping but I wanted you to know, she's not the only one.
Definitely need to bring my S.O to this hub... it's 2009 and we've been discussing the loss of the belly (Get into my Belly Austin Powers) gut... at 4" 10, she's meant to be my mini me!
Hi Kelley,
Could you clarify this quote of yours, "Dr. Revici wanted the pH to go both below and above 6.2 pH. I've been saying 6.3 pH from memory. With pH sticks, it'll be hard to tell the difference between 6.2 and 6.3. He checked the patients' pH 4 times a day."
How does the ph go both below and above? I have always read that one's urine & saliva should be as close to 7.5 as possible. I do appreciate your thoughts on this. What did Dr Revici use to test the ph & did he test both urine & saliva?
Thankyou
Hi Desiree,
Saliva should be around 7.3 to 7.5 pH or so. But not urine. it fluctuates throughout the day, but the balance point is about 6.2 to 6.3 pH. it should be below those numbers part of the day and above them later in the day.
Dr. Revici invented drops that you put into a paper cup of urine. It would either turn bright red, bright green or brown depending on the reading. That made it extremely easy to chart.
He tested urine, not saliva. he had 17 different tests he could conduct to evaluate the metabolism, many of which he invented. For instance he invented what is called the Urotensiometer with which he could measure the surface tension of urine.
The best to you.

These supplements really, really, really, really work! I changed my eating habits and gave the whole routine the full two months. Food cravings and PMS are GONE! I have lost 33.5 pounds in three months. I've cut back on sugar and processed foods and I don't miss it. No white knuckle moments dreaming about fast food or baked goods. I've kept the PB8 and olive leaf in my daily routine, they are the best supplements ever. I've blogged about the routine and will do so again. Thank you and best of luck and health to you all.
Hi Andra, I was wondering how you lost 33.5 pds? I have been on this program for 4 months and havent lost a pound. Could you please explain what you have been eating and doing? Thanks ever so much!
Hi Nancy,
In response to your questions regarding my site on erectile dysfunction, I checked with my computer guy and he informed me that since there is nowhere to leave your email address on my website, those emails you are receiving aren't due to an infection on my site.
Either you still have a virus on your system, or it's just the luck of the draw. Emails like you described getting are practically universal. Everyone gets them, and you probably just noticed it. I don't send out emails like that. My eBook is based on peer review journals and the Nobel Prize.
The information in my eBook would be highly unlikely to resolve your situation since you have an ovarian mass that is very likely a benign cyst. They can grow quite large as you know from personal experience.
I hope you can find a nonsurgical solution for your situation, but I wouldn't put it off too long to avoid the risk of an infection. I don't mean to discourage your search...I would love it if you could let me know what you find because you are not the only person coming here in your shoes.
There could be a wonderful easy cure just waiting to be found. I just did a search on Google for +"ovarian cysts" +herbs which resulted in quite a few possibilities. I'd look more into that to see if your answer is there.
The best to you.

Hi Andra,
Congratulations on losing 33.5 pounds AND doing it EFFORTLESSLY!
Two notes for you. The first is that I would not take olive leaf daily for long periods. I'd want to keep it reserved for when I needed it. We can develop allergies to herbs if we take them every day. Some herbs are for getting well and others are for maintaining and strengthening.
Olive leaf is the former type of herb...reserveded for getting well. if one were to take it every day for too long, it might stop working or worse, we nmight develop a negative reaction to it.
Once or twice a week might be okay.
Secondly, thank you for writing about it on your blog! I hope you get lots of readers. Would you be so kind as to put a link to this page so they can get the full details? Thank you so much!
The best to you.

Kelley Eidem-very good hub,
Please let me know what brand are available in canada
Hi Winterdaze,
You haven't lost weight but you've lost inches. You say you've been on the program for 6 months. By any chance have you been taking glutamine all that time?
Glutamine helps to build muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat. So you could be experiencing strong heavier muscles and losing inches at the same time.
I generally suggest taking the glutamine for a month or two.
Because of the broken bone in my lower back, and because I'm lazy, I get approximately zero exercise each day, sometimes less. ;-) I should have no muscles. But when I take glutamine and something called DIM, my muscles are pretty solid...and that's with no exercise.
Other factors that can effect weight loss are the need to do a clolon cleanse. Another is the emotional habit of how we eat. My recipe can rid the physical component, but things like EFT, a Mercola favorite, can help with the emotions.
But in your case, I'd say it's all those muscles you've added!
The best to you.

Hi Lgali,
You want me to tell you the Canadian brands? Heck, I don't even speak Canadian! ;-)
Actually, there is a chain store in Canada called Suisse something or other. They are owned by the same company that owns Vitamin World in the US. They would have everything except for maybe the PB-8. You'll need to ask for a really good brand of probiotic with multiple strains and with inulin in it if you can get it.
Canada might have a rule against selling amino acids. In that case, just cross over the border and pick some up if you're not too far North.
Any store worth going to would have olive leaf extract and caprylic acid, at least in the US and Canada.
The best to you.

Kelley - if you can tell me, is this safe for a 10 year old? My god daughter had leukemia at age 3 and had chemo, the whole nine. She now suffers from alot of yeast infections and also her stomach protrudes out (did i spell that right?). Now she is suffering from high blood pressure. At age 10! Her mom is willing to do the cleanse but I told her I'd check with you to see if the dosage would be the same? Thanks for your knowledge and help!! I'm on day 15 and feeling fab! I can pull my pants on and off without unbuttoning! woohoo!
Jenn
Hi Jenim,
Fifteen and fab! How great is that! Now as to the pants going on and off without unbuttoning, I'm from Missouri. (slapping myself so you don't have to!)
If I had a 10-year old, I'd probably try the product Threelac first. As for doing my recipe instead, I'd go very slowly. Maybe a week of PB-8, one a day, then add a caprylic acid every other day for a week or two, then add a TEAspoon of glutamine once a day for a week, and then olive leaf three times a week.
I might also start first with Vitalzyme before doing anything else. Maybe two twice a day for a couple months. I'd feel okay with the PB-8 at the same time as the Vitalzym.
The best to you.

Hi Lgali,
I am in Canada and I have gotten Inno-Vite Olive leaf extract and Caproil, Quest vitamins makes L-Glutimine, SISU has what looks like a good variety of emzymes. (I purchased all at the Atlantic Super Store *Loblaws*) you can get intestinew at the heath food store if you want that instead of the glutimine. So far I have taken one tsp of the Caproil for 3 days and then added one olive leaf today. I have taken a probiotic for a long while now. My Naturopath said the supplements all looked good. She gave me grapefruit seed extract and oregano oil to try first but, I had huge die off headaches for the whole 2 weeks I was taking it and my cravings went sky high. So when the bottle ran out I switched to this so far on day 4 I have no headaches. I am seeing her again in a few days so I will tell you all what she says
Hi; Thanks so much for all of this info! I would like to try this. I have read through a lot of the posts (there are LOTS!!), and done a search on the word "heart", but didn't find a real answer to my questions. I am 56 yrs old, and have had 2 heart attacks (within two weeks of each other, two years ago). I am overweight (265 lbs), even for my height (6' 2"). I gave up cigarettes 15 years ago, alcohol 13 years ago. I am however having an awful lot of trouble getting my weight down. I just love food, and eat lots. My questions: will this be harmful in any way to someone my age who has had heart attacks? Also, could you please recommend, in SPECIFIC terms, how you would start and progress if you were me (exact amount of each item, for how long, reduce when, and to how much, etc)?? I would VERY much appreciate your input. If my request is too much of a hassle I understand. Thanks! NH
Thankyou for yur reply M.Kelley.I tried raw garlic crushed with honey on top swolled with sum water for my v.deep horrible chesty cough. Totally yuck! did kinda take the edge of my cough.
But with echinacea I have a v.bad reaction. Took sum (upon a recommendation)a little while ago just for a runny nose that comes on any time i have something spicy to eat or step out into the cold! been with me for quite a few years. & had a v.bad reaction ~ such a dibilitating pain that spread in up & around my back & spread like wild fire. When i stopped the echinacea the pain stopped too. It reacted with me due to my Spinal Muscula Atrophy.
Will pass the message on to my friend about yur recommendations.
pls can i also email yu regarding the Chi Machine sounds v.promising.
Also wanted yur recommendations as to the Probiotic. yu have mentioned PB8. Ive almost fininshed my Accidophilus and was wondering the best place to purchase this advanced Probiotic? just wondering does it contain any Dairy? as i wont be able to take it if it does...
Hi Sean,
Sorry, I missed answering your question about enzymes.
Most likely the enzymes you are referring to are protein digesting enzymes which would help digest the protein in a meal but not carbs or fats. They are good enzymes, but you might find the ones that digest carbs and fats work even better for you.
The best to you.

Hi NH,
You've got a great question. which is basically, "How do I get there from here?" You don't want to hurt your heart, and yet you realize that you need to get your eating habits working for you instead of against you...because the "against you" could hurt your heart, too.
I'd start slow if it were me. I'd start by taking two of the PB-8 each day for several days until I had a large bowel movement. After that, I'd add one caprylic acid for a week. If I was feeling good and tolerated it well, I'd add the glutamine for several days, before adding one olive leaf extract a day.
I'd stay at that level for at least a week or longer before increasing the caprylic acid....assuming I was tolerating everything.
Later on I'd increase the olive leaf extract...if I was tolerating everything.
The idea with all this would be to avoid a strong cleansing reaction. Each person has a different time period for how long this recipe takes to end food cravings. That determines how long I'd do it.
The best to you.

Hi Rose,
Vitamin World and Vitamin Shoppe carry PB-8 as does probably most health food stores across the US. But yes, it does contain dairy.
You might try Primal Defense or some other high quality probiotic. Independent health food stores could probably guide you in finding a good one that meets your needs.
You can email me at awthrawthr@yahoo.com for information on the Chi Machine. I used it last night for 10 minutes. I always sleep better when I do. That could be critically important for dealing with muscle issues.
A deeper sleep is marvelous medicine for muscle repair.
The best to you.

Kelley,
I'm almost convinced that the football size ovarian mass is really just a nest of parasites. I know basic protocol for parasites (raw garlic, black walnut, wormwood, etc.). The big question is how do I get all the things that I'm taking orally to penetrate past the cyst walls?
All women have cysts every month that naturally go away. It seems that this one became home to parasites and gave them a haven to breed and multiple, tucked away from the defenses of the body. All the garlic, etc. that I'm eating is making the intestines an unhappy place for parasites. Some of this is being absorbed into the blood stream and making them unwelcome there (I hope). But what about places with very little blood flow like a large ovarian mass? How can we get the effectiveness of the garlic, etc. there?
[Even if I found someone to inject these antiparasite foods and herbs, that would rupture the cyst and fill the abdominal cavity with the little critters.]
If it were you and you did not have insurance for an over $10k surgery how could you get the unwelcome visitors to leave (this question is assuming I am already applying both your habanero garlic approach and the candida approach ordered here plus black walnut, wormwood anti parasitic herbs plus chi machine)?
Also would the ERE machine zap them?
Readers and Kelley please chime in and help me out here,
Nancy in need
Hi Nancy,
Why didn't I think of that? I can't tell you the ERE machine will kill parasites because of the FDA and the state medical boards. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
But if you could kill any parasites inside the cyst, that could be big step in the right direction. Meanwhile, the Chi machine increases oxygenation, including the lymph system. Parasites might not like oxygenation.
If I didn't mention it before, I'd take large doses (5 tablets, three times a day) of Vitalzym on an empty stomach. It digests protein, which is what parasites are made of.
Email me at awthrawthr@yahoo.com if you need the Chi machine info, etc.
The best to you.

Hi Kelly
Thanks for answering my confused post. You were right, I had done some skipping around and read from the other artical about the habinaro and garlic sandwich and confused it with is part of the hub. Sorry about that, I'm afraid it is typical of my brain. I do need help in both areas and the things about auto-immune are facination also. Thanks for your wonderful sight, I'll try to get it right from now on.
Apologies and gratitude

Hi Kelley
I wanted to give you an update on my progress for my Psoriasis treatment.
You suggested that I take -
Mercury Removal = Chlorella (10 tabs x2) and apple pectin (x3 tabs)
Yeast Removal = PB-8 (x2 tabs), Intestinew (1 scoop powder), Candida clear (x2 tabs)
(Extra High Strength) Cod liver oil (2 teaspoons daily)
I started on the 21st November '08 and am planing to see how it goes for three months.
My Psoriasis has come back, it is not as bad as it was but it is rapidly catching up. One thing that is strange is I used to get a swollen lip and heat bumps when I was younger and they have started appearing. Someone has said to me that it is my body getting rid of all the impurities in my body, do you know if this is the case? Any suggestions as to what I should do would be helpful.
Thanks again for your help
Matt Jones
Kelley - I'll be sure to not mention my pants again. LOL! So I just read your pimple page, it's pretty much the same regimen as this one, correct?
Hi Matt,
Yes, that is what commonly happens when a person does a deep cleanse, the old hidden stuff is able to bet dumped out. The skin is one of the ways that our body discharges waste, including old stuff.
It's called the Herxheimer effect. Why don't scientists ever have names like Smith or Brown?
The IntestiNew usually does its job in one or two months. Then I wouldn't take it any more unless I was still having digestive difficulties.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley
Thanks for the quick reply, I have been reading about the Herxheimer effect, I had not heard of it before and it has been interesting reading.
Once I have hit the three months would you recommend that I continue with the rest of the tablets that I have been taking (excluding IntestiNew). If so how long for?
Thanks
Matt
Hi Matt,
I would go by my symptoms as for how long I'd stay on the program. That way I can always go back to it if any symptoms return.
The one exception is the PB-8. I would stay on that for the rest of my life...either that or make homemade sourkraut (sp?) on a regular basis. I'm not even sure how to spell it, let alone make it.
A hundred years ago or so people made their own sourkraut and other fermented foods. That's why we need the PB-8 today....we just don't get the friendly bacteria we need from our foods anymore.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem
Together we can cure cancer - one person at a time!
Hi Kelley
Im a bit confused when you say I should go by my symptoms on how long I should stay on the program, because my main symptom and the main reason for starting the programs is Psoriasis. As mentioned in the last post, the Psoriasis is coming back mainly because I have stopped using steroid cream.
Should I have seen some benefit to my Psoriasis by now?
I'd appreciate your comments
Thanks
Matt
Hi Matt,
Let me see if I can explain this in a different way,. because it can be challenging when you're in the middle of dealing with something that just won't go away.
Except for the PB-8, they are not products I would take on an indefinite basis. One to three months is okay. My program is mainly for getting rid of food cravings. So if my food cravings cleared up, then I'd know that the recipe had done its job.
If I wanted to go longer than that, I'd probably stop for a month and then go back and do it again for a couple months. If it still didn't work, then that means you need to try a different approach.
There is no hard and fast rule where we can say take this much for x number of days or months and you'll get this or that result. Each person is different. Some people have seen results in a week. For others there may be no results.
BTW, any kind of steroid, whether it is a cream or a shot, is going to interfere with the entire recipe because it kills the friendly bacteria...yes it gets into your bloodstream. It's because of things like that, that I don't take any drugs whatsover, unless a dentist is going to drill on a tooth...there I am a coward.
I'd also look at doing a colon cleanse and a parasite cleanse in that case. Everyone who hasn't done those yet needs to do those sooner or later. That's because nearly 100% of us have parasites unless they have done something to get rid of them.
One other thing. if I had psoriasis, I would be taking 2 TABLEspoons of emulsified cod liver oil a day rather than 2 TEAspoons. That's triple the dose.
Why emulsified? Because psoriasis isn't just a skin disease...it affects the digestive tract as well. If it isn't emulsified, it might not be getting absorbed the way I would want it to.
I hope this helps.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, Yes I have taken the L-glutamine since I started up till about a month ago. 2 days ago I took some more and that night my teeth hurt so bad I couldnt stand it then it dawned on me what I had done different so I stopped taking it. I was taking 2 olive leaf, 2 caprylic acid, 2 pb-8 probiotic and an enzyme every day for 6 months. I still have yeast as the spit test confirms that.
I guess I wont worry about losing weight according to the scale and go more on how my clothes are fitting. The cravings have stopped and I only eat at meal time and I do have more energy than I've had in years.
What is DIM? I have never heard of it.
THank you for your reply.
Hi Nancy, I bought the ERE machine (I have the CHI machine to) because I also have a bad case of parasites. I was in Brazil in 1982 and picked up a parasite that layed dormant till a year ago. I was at the ENDOs office about my thyroid and he said he had just gotten back from Brazil and we talked about it for a bit and then he says to me you have the same symptom that I had after I got back to the US from Brazil a few years ago and he had picked up a nasty parasite. I tried all the parastie cleanses, and they just dont seem to be doing the trick so thats when I decided to get the ERE machine. Linda Oyama in Bozeman, MT uses the ERE machine in her spa and she is having wonderful results with it. I have been using the ERE machine for 5 min for the last 5 days, I am starting slow as I am prone to migraines everytime I jump in and try something new. So far I havnet noticed anything different with the parasites, but I will keep you posted if there is a change. I plan to up the time on the ERE machine on Sunday and maybe try a different setting maybe that will dislodge the litte critters.
OH by the way,I was just at the Endo and he said I didnt have a thyroid problem that the yeast was probably the reason my thyroid went wacky..because all my tests came back great and he hadnt put me on amy medsI started the yeast program a few days after I had been to the endo.....Kelley's program is wonderful!!!!!
Best of health to you!
Hi Matt,
Sauerkraut is really easy to make, all you need is a crock. If you have the fancy equipment, then you can make some really fancy sauerkraut, with even more nutrition like Rene Oswald does. Here is a link on YouTube to get you started. Of course this link is for the simple method, but if you have a fast blender and a food processor, then I would suggest you check out Rene Oswald video and website.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VHOLM-npko&fea
Peace, Rena.
Thanks so much for the response! I am going to give this a try. Will let you know how I make out. NH
Hi Winter,
That sounds really good - cravings stopped and more energy than you've had in years! Good job!
DIM stands for Di Indole Methane, a compound found in cruciferous vegetables that is excellent for improving both testosterone and estrogen...the good kinds rather than the bad kinds.
It helps a lot of things that are associated with when those hormones get too low or when we start making the wrong kind.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley and all!
Kelley, I hope this question isn't too off-topic. I cut way back on my vitamins and especially the extra B's I was taking, at the advice of my naturopath when I started your yeast protocol. Actually I cut them off completely because she said that B's feed yeast. I felt weak and wanted to re-introduce B's and a multivitamin into my regime. At that time you suggested that I try it and if the yeasties got too agressive to cut back.
That's what I did---take a daily multivitamin/mineral and occasionally a B tablet.
However, in the past week or so I've had a recurrence of what looks like phlebitis---bulging veins in one leg, some swelling, tenderness and heat. I read up on it and one suggested cause is lack of folic acid, which comes with B's. So...putting one and one together, I'm wondering if my lack of B's has caused the phlebitis. I had it a couple of years ago and at that time the chiropractor/kinesiologist I was seeing gave me progesterone tablets which healed it in a couple ot days. Unfortunately she has a three month wait list.
The other cause named is a sedentary lifestyle which doesn't apply to me since I walk regularly. I'm wondering now if walking is good for it, or if it might cause a blood clot to travel to some dangerous place.
I have an appointment with my regular doc...an osteopath but I do have to wait, again...and I hope he doesn't prescribe a blood thinner. I don't know what's in blood thinners but I'm trying to stay clear of anything that will harm me.
If you have info on the subject, I would be very greatful!!
Best wishes as always!
Clover
Hi Clover,
Thank goodness the external ones aren't as risky as the deep ones because the deep ones are usually larger veins. Still, I'd want a GP to look at it.
If I had it, I'd start taking folic acid and B-6 again, with at least 800 mcgs of the Folic acid twice a day for a short time. And I'd take 500 mgs of rutin each day along with 5,000 mgs of Vitamin C. Rutin is very good for strengthening veins.
You'll never guess which are the best herbs for this....yup, it's hot peppers, garlic and GINGER. Onions, too. I'd freshly grate ginger each day along with the others, put it in 4 ounces of water, some maple syrup and some lemon or lime juice (freshly squeezed.)
I'd stay well hydrated with WATER, not with anything else.
Phlebitis isn't something to fool around with. Again, you should have a doctor look at it, a GP you can get in to see sooner rather than waiting.
PS. The best blood thinners are the hot herbs....better than drugs
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, All is well with the program for me, but my boyfriend is having a problem. When he started taking the supplements, his sinus and allergy symptoms flared up and have been getting worse and worse. I suspect that "stirring up" the candida may be causing this. I told him he should just back off the olive leaf and caprylic acid for now, but keep taking the probiotics. Do you have any other ideas? Thanks, Corrie
Hi Corrie,
That's no fun to have sinus problems! Here's something I would use to make it a lot easier if it were me. It's a product called SinusBuster. It provides relief in about one minute.
So yeah, I'd go slow and use the SinusBuster. It'll make things a lot easier.

Thanks, Kelley, for the info on veins. I did get to get a phone message through to my doc and he replied with a message, saying he didn't think it was phliebitis and basically not to worry about it but to come and see him if I wanted to. I got an appointment for 10 days from now which is sooner than usual. Meanwhile I'll do as you suggested with the supplements. I never heard of rutin but will call Vitamin Cottage tomorrow and see if they have it. It's funny that you mentioned ginger 'cuz I found myself looking longingly at ginger the other day, before I got your message. I didn't get it---I need to follow my impulses more! I have garlic, C's and lemon juice. Need to get peppers but since I live in NM that's not a problem.
I'm sort of distressed because I am showing some yeast again and that may be from the increased B's but now it seems I need the B's. At this point I guess I'll do with the increased yeast until I get the vein situation handled.
Thanks for your kind help!
Clover
Hi Kelley,
It's been a couple months since I've posted/checked the site, but I am glad to say things are still going pretty well for me with the program. I started about 3 months or so and the results were both immediate and practically miraculous. My eating lifestyle has done a 180 compared to my diet or lack there of. I had 2 mercury fillings removed prior to Thanksgiving and the other 2 a couple weeks ago.
I have slowed down on taking the caprylic acid/olive leaf/PB-8 and Intestinew for the last week or two. I noticed a couple of issues I'd like to have your opinion about or any input from anyone else here on the Hub. First, I have noticed that I have been getting a red rash under my armpits for about a month. Besides the rash, it gets very itchy at times. I checked various websites and notice some mention while trying to fit Candida that the yeast/bacteria/parasites etc.. move around in your body to try to stay alive if they sense they are being attacked by the suppliments in your program. Second, my tongue is still very coated. I have tried sea salt, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and an oxygen jel coating from the dentist that removed my fillings and NOTHING will clear my tongue. So I did some more research online and believe that perhaps the yeast has probably gone into my kidneys & liver besides just being in my intestines. I think that by trying to focus on clearing up my tongue, I have been missing the cause to what is keeping my tongue still so coated.
As to your thoughts about my self-diagnosis, I'd gladly welcome them. Also, if you agree that I probably need to do a kidney/liver/colon cleanse, I was hoping for any program or product recommendations.
Thanks for your help and all of the others here on getting me this far.

Hi Clover,

Hi I M Rockin,
First, I'd like to join you in celebrating how you life has changed miraculously with this recipe. There are miracles...they happen every time we take a breath because that is truly a miracle.
So it sounds like you've still got more stuff you want to get rid of. I'd probably get a bottle of "The Cleaner" if it were me. It works both as a colon cleanser and a parasite remover.
When I use it...and I'm using it now...I only take one or maybe two because it really works well for me. The suggested dose of 4 is way too much for me.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, Just a note to let you know that I have faithfully been using my ERE machine for a week. I started with 5 min a day and am now up to 15 min a day and this morning I noticed the skin tags on my neck are almost gone, I can wear a necklace again. YEAH!!!! AND the liver spot on my cheek is disappearing. I know its the ERE machine beacause up till now there has been no change. I've been wathcing because I hate those skin tags they catch on everything
Best of health!
Hi Liquidfire,
You're getting rid of skin tags and facial liver spots? How great is that! I think there is going to be a line of people signing up to get one.

Hi Kelley,
Thanks for both the quick reply and the information. I looked up The Cleaner and found their website, http://www.thecleaner.com/index.html, here is the link for anyone else interested. I will pick this up soon and get back with the results.
Hey Kelly! I just wanted to let you know that I have started your program it probably has been about 3wks. I was reading about the spit test how do you do this? Also when would the food cravings stop, they are not as frequent, but they are still there. Also I have a rash in between my ring finger and pinkie and nothing I use or take seems to take it away, could this mean that I still have yeast? Thanks for this awesome site.
I have a daughter who is 22mnths old and when she was born she was born with a yeast infection, when could I start her on this regime? She is adopted, so I am understanding that her birthmom had a yeast infection at the time of delivery.
Hi Becky,
Let's get you the full instructions!...Could someone post the link to the spit test?
Maybe you've already tried tea tree oil applied topically on your finger/hand. That's what I would use. If that didn't work clove oil. I'd use only a drop or two because it is really potent.
My recipe could be too strong for a young child. If I had a 22 month child, I'd give her Threelac. You can do a search in it and see what they recommend as for the dosage they suggest.
The best to you.

Hi Cover,
Thank you for the link!

Hi All!
I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with. Where to start . . . . My son is 6yo and a big, strong boy. He had a natural birth, was exclusively breastfed, foods were introduced very slowly and one at a time, he never had any antibiotics, only rec'd one tetanus vaccine at 2yrs (we live on a farm!), and he eats a healthy diet which is about 98% homegrown/homemade. He's never had a soda, never eaten at a McD/BK/etc, he drinks raw milk from our own cow, homemade yogurt, homegrown sausage, 100% grassfed beef/poultry, organic homegrown eggs, homeground whole wheat breads, etc.
About two years ago I felt that something wasn't 'right' about him and we took him to the Naturopath. He has a VERY extended belly despite being thin, he eats like there is NO tomorrow, was borderline dealing with encopresis/constipation, he was complaining of bone pain, he had dark circles under his eyes, and had little energy. She tested for several things and told us that he was anemic (runs in my family) and his eosinophils were elevated indicating an allergy. We had his blood taken and an extensive food sensitivity test done and the results were stunning - he was allergic/sensitive to nearly EVERY food that he's ever consumed. She told us that it was likely caused by a leaky gut and thought he might be celiac, so we all went gluten-free for 6 months (a TOTAL pain!). None of us felt any differently while off gluten. During that time we had his genetic markers done and found he couldn't be a celiac, but was genetically predisposed to being gluten sensitive. Around the 5 month mark we re-did the food sensitivity test with almost identical results. :( A month later while on a vacation and feeling frustrated with the restricted diet, we decided to re-introduce gluten to make the trip easier. To our complete surprise - none of us had any reaction to the gluten; we've been eating gluten foods since with no problems.
My question - - what are the chances that he's suffering from a yeast infection? He eats so healthy and is normal to large for his age, he's never been on any medication and only the one vaccine (which I made sure only contained traces of mercury in it since they don't make one that is thimerisol-free here in the states that doesn't contain Pertussis), he has no fillings in his teeth, etc. For the last year he's rec'd enzymes with most meals. For the last several months, he has rec'd daily chlorella, spirulina, and Vit D3. I've added recently PB8 and Fish Oil. We've managed to get his bowels working normally again and he's no longer anemic (thanks to Floradix!), so he's not tired all the time and he is able to eliminate at least one normal BM each day (YEA!). I just can't seem to shake the feeling that I'm still setting him up for some adult illness or an auto-immune disease (despite all of my efforts to raise him in a healthy way!). It's very frustrating and upsetting to me. As I read through this candida protocol (for my dh and myself, NOT my kids initially!) I kept coming back to the leaky gut and glutamine; the auto immune diseases; undigested proteins that the body sees as foreign; etc. This sounds like my KID! Any thoughts on what I might try to heal his gut - he can swallow a horse pill ;) so just about any supplement is an option! I'm all OVER the glutamine, but where did the damn leaky holes come from in the first place?? Yeast? Gluten? UGH!
I've already ordered the entire meal-deal (cap/olive/PB8/Glut) for us grown-ups, but is it worth a try to give it to my son? Can I just give him the glutamine? Or should I try to make certain that he DOES/DOESN'T have yeast first so I can do the entire protocol? Is there a good test that can tell me that besides the spit-in-the-glass one? I tried it on myself one morning and after about 5 minutes there was one long 'leg' and about 5 minutes later there was no evidence of spit in there anymore at all. Does this mean that I have problem, or not? I'm at a good weight, mostly healthy, few cravings, no bowel issues, etc. I'm 37, I get sore joints sometimes, itchy legs during the winter months, and I've been on antibiotics a few times in my life for pneumonia and UTIs. Never had a yeast infection, nursed two kids without thrush rearing it's ugly head, and I'm not really bloated/gassy.
Any thoughts/answers would be greatly appreciated! I'm so tired of everyone telling me 'don't worry, he LOOKS healthy enough now' I could scream! No one seems to care that his little body is reacting to every protein that he ingests. The naturopath told me the only reason he wasn't a VERY sick little boy was because his diet/care was able to give him the boost to deal with the battle going on inside. She said she'd never had one of those food sensitivity tests come back with such elevated results for so many foods. Unfortunately, she couldn't give me an answer to why his gut is leaky . . . . Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light/experience. Sorry for the long message, but he's my little boy and I can't just let it go!
PS - Kelley - I read your cancer hub in it's entirety as well as this one and I have to say they have been addictive!! Who needs food cravings?!? I couldn't get the kids to bed soon enough so I could have my 'ME TIME' to sit and pour through the information and comments! You opened my eyes to some new ideas which I will try myself and I will happily tell others about (even though everyone thinks I'm nuts for not believing what the 'experts' say!).
Great hub. Good information on losing weight and ending food cravings!
-Darren
Awesome information! Thanks for the advice and great Hub!
Hi naturalfarmgirl,
Can I be adopted and be your son! (If the answer is no, can I come over for breakfast?) What a lucky boy your son is to have a mom like you.
I would wholeheartedly agree that his off-the-chart superior diet has helped him fight whatever it is that he's dealing with.
If I had a six-year-old son, I wouldn't use my full recipe, but would try Threelac instead. I'd Google the instructions for his age for dosages. The caprylic acid might be okay, but only a tiny bit of the olive leaf, if any.
The other thing I'd look at is parasites. I'd look on the internet for something suitable for a six-year old if the Threelac didn't work. Parasites can cause leaky gut. Anyone can get them.
Another possibility is Type 1 diabetes. I'm not saying he has any of these things, but it could be worth checking out. If my child had Type 1, diabetes, I'd give him 3 Vitalzym tablets twice a day on an empty stomach for a few months.
Dr. William Wong, N.D., PhD., has seen Type 1 diabetics get cured from taking vitalzym. Since they were adults, they took 5 tablets three times a day.
The best to you.

hello kelley i have been on the protocol for 3 weeks now
i amnoticing my arms getting very rough red patchy areas..is it because of the yeast dying off because its never happened to me before.
Thankyou.
Hi Tara,
It seems that others have had a similar response. The skin is a major detoxifier. The body tries to kick out the offenders the easiest way it can.
I might lower my dosage If I'd previously increased it.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley!!
Just wanted to check in and tell you my experience with your protocol. I have been on the regimin since January 1st. That is 22 days. I have lost 10 pounds. This is AMAZING to me. Almost instantly, the food cravings went away. I never realized that I was craving sugar or carbs, I just always felt hungry. I still can't believe that part was gone for good, so was kind of skeptical in posting. I thought that might just be temporary. But so far, they have not resurfaced.
I just keep thinking EFFORTLESSLY, EFFORTLESSLY, EFFORTLESSLY. and smiling of course.
I have done the spit test and still have one long leg but it looks dramatically different then when I first did it. I am so grateful for this hub.
My question(s) are: I see that you recommend upping the dose of caprylic acid and olive leaf. My bottles both say take one tablet once per day, so I was wondering if I should up them.
Also, a lot of sites recommend that you stay away from vinegar. I use natural organic ACV with the mother. Can I still use that? I use it for salad dressings and really enjoy it. I don't want to mess up killing these beasts off though.
Also I see you recommend vitalzyme. Is that the kind of enzyme that you take personally?
I also see that you recommend the PB 8's over the Primal Defense sometimes. I am taking the Primal Defense currently, but wonder if I should order the PB 8's when it is time to reorder.
Thank you again so much for this life changing info.
Cheryl
Hi Cheryl,
An instant victor! That's awesome! Hip hip hooray!
If I was getting results like you're getting, I wouldn't change a thing. I wouldn't switch brands, and I wouldn't change the dosage.
Until recently I was managing a health food store for a big chain. They didn't carry Vitalzym, and I got a 40% discount on what we did carry. So when I bought enzymes I bought those. The cost-benefit ratio for the other product worked for me to use the other brand.
I hadn't heard that organic apple cider vinegar promotes yeast growth. Nor would I believe it without more information. I would think it would help get rid of yeast. I could be wrong, but organic ACV is so wonderfully health promoting for so many people.
I say this although it tears me up. Can't do it at all. It is instant pain for me.
I hope you can share this site with your buddy list and "Stumble Upon" and "Digg" it so more people can benefit like you have.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley!
I was interested in your statement about Dr. Wong, Vitalzyme and Type I diabetes. Since I have a friend with Type I Diabetes I googled around and found several items on Dr. W. and Vitalzyme. I didn't find anything about diabetes (that's ok...cuz my friend probably wouldn't take it anyway) but I found a lot of sites that attribute a lot of wonders to V including curing chronic fatigue syndrome, which is closer to home for me. It referred to SET--"Systemic Enzyme Therapy." I've been taking enzymes since starting this protocol. My Naturopath gave me Hannah Kroger's brand; then when those ran out I got some from Vitamin Cottage.
My question to you is similar to Cheryls. Is there a difference between Vitalzyme and other enzymes? Vitalzym is very expensive but the claims are huge. In your opinion, it is worth it to invest in this product? Have you taken it? Do you notice a difference between it and others?
I have to say, too, that I encountered sooo many website that offer miracles for just about anything. There seem to be "clubs" of loyal followers who really believe in their product, be it colloidal minerals, Lugols' iodine, Blue-Green Algae, colostrum, etc. I'm sure you could add many other products to the list. One could go broke buying all this stuff and spend all day swallowing pills, rubbing stuff on their body or whatever. My question to you may be unanswerable...but I'll ask it anyway...How do you really know what to choose? Even supposed experts with lots of initials after their names disagree....Even people who do muscle testing disagree...
I have more questions which may be more answerable...or not. I've been on this protocol for quite a few months (lost count...maybe five?) and cleared up the yeast for a while. Then got it back, maybe because of some dietary lapses or maybe because of increased doses of B's, which we've already discussed. I opted to keep up the B's and have continued on the whole regime, including cap. acid and olive leaf, although in diminished doses. My recent spit tests have all shown legs, not a lot --but some. Since you have mentioned that it's not good to take olive leaf for long periods of time I'm wondering if I should give the olive leaf a rest but continue with the cap. acid. Is there a danger of taking cap acid too long? My former naturopath actually took olive leaf for a year...She had candida so badly that she was suicidal--got into her brain -- and now is the picture of glowing health. Sometimes I feel like giving my whole body a rest and taking nothing for a while, but I'm afraid I might be doing something wrong.
I have had some great results from the regime, as I've already mentioned here and have lost about six pounds without much effort. I can't say I exactly crave sweets but they still look good to me. I wear size 10 pants but I'm still waiting for my tummy to go flat. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations.
'Sorry to overload you with so many questions...!!! I keep thinking that my questions might be helpful to others too. Thanks and Blessings!
Clover
Hi Clover,
Unfortunately, all proteolytic enzyme products are high priced. Proteolytic means they will digest protein. Whe taken on an empty stomach they digest the inflammatory protein fibrin. Fibrin not only inflames...it causes scar tissue.
If taken with food, they'll digest the protein in your food, an expensive way to help digest your food.I much prefer a multi-enzyme for digesting my food. It costs a fraction of the cost of Vitalzym. Maybe $20-25.
I like the Vitalzym because it's the only one I know of that has reversed Type 1 diabetes. ZymActive is another high quality proteolytic enzyme.
Yes, there are lots of "must have" products, aren't there! Think of it in terms of shoes. ;-) There are lots of "must have" shoes, too. Somehow we survive without getting all of them.
I focus on the Vymactive because when a person has cancer and then has gotten surgery, chemo or radiation, they are going to have scar tissue. The organs cannot function properly with scar tissue. So it's condition specific.
Dr. William Wong hypothesized that the "V" works by clearing out fibrin and scar tissue on the pancreas.
That's good to know that your naturopath was able to use olive leaf for a year. My feeling is that if I still have the condition, then it's probably okay to continue taking it.
It's up to you how long you want to take the Olive leaf extract. Another alternative I might try would be to try some other yeast killers such as garlic or oregano oil for short periods of time.
The best to you.

PS. Tonight a man left a message on my cancer hub. he said a hard tumor under his breast has shrunk about 80% in three weeks. His doctor is surprised. :-)
Hello Kelly,
I took your earlier advise and adopted a phase approach regarding the supplements. I am now taking the full protocol for just over a week. Initially I had some symptoms as described by many but now things are just progressing normally. What is already remarkably is that I have been eating less and do not have much interest in sweets. Sweet cravings are not totally diminished but somehow I seem more disciplined. It is earlier days yet but I have already lost almost 2 kilos. I have not changed my eating habits - the only difference is that I have less need for sugary products. I am so happy. I now plan to change my diet - consuming less carbohydrates during the evenings and start with an exercise program. I will keep you posted - but just wanted to already say thank you. So far - so good!!
All the best,
smlandme
Hi SML and me,
Your results are awesome! More people will take the effortless plunge and get back control of their life. Btw, 2 kilos is 4.4 pounds. That is a good amount of weight loss for a woman in a week.
I haven't talked about this much, but what is REALLY awesome is that you now have a set of tools in your toolbox called "Life." You can use these tools, you can share'em, and you can have a totally different life.
The yeast overgrowth leads to things like DIABETES, ARTHRITIS, HEART DISEASE, AUTO-IMMUNE disease, SINUS problems, and CANCER. So not only do you get to shed unwanted pounds, you get to avoid a disease filled life.
Here in the US and elsewhere, health problems are everywhere. Imagine if this was taught to your kids in high school...using the zits angle of course! All those kids with skin problems, weight problems, sinus problems, focus problems, learning problems would start to have a new life.
The next time you go out shopping, take a look around and notice the low level of health there is. Now imagine what it would be like if all those people knew about this recipe.
We could cut medical care costs 20% real fast and maybe much more as those people don't get cancer or need bypass surgery. Diabetes is another very expensive disease to treat.
So many people go to the doctor because their sinuses give them fits. In the US, there were 76 MILLION trips to the doctor for sinus conditions in one year, according to statistics released by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Let's say we cut those visits in half. BTW, those 76 million are probably mostly really bad sinus problems. (If they aren't bad in the beginning, the doctor's prescriptions will end up making them worse.)
By cutting those visits in half, that means millions of people who aren't suffering from what can be a debilitating condition.
So spread the word. If you work in a private school, see if this can be taught. (Trying to get this into a public school at this point would be a lot of wasted effort.)
"Digg" it. "Stumble Upon" it. We CAN have a better world. I can't think of an easier thing that could create more improvement, than people knowing about this. A study from Colorado University found that 70...SEVENTY PER CENT...of those studied had a yeast overgrowth.
That means we can help improve the lives of 200 million people in the US alone.
When I got up this morning, I didn't know I'd be getting on my soap box to preach to the saved! Can I get an "Amen!" :-)
The best to you.

Kelley I was going to get the PB8 instead of Dr Ohiras next time because it is so much cheaper, but then I noticed it had Dairy? I don't do well on Dairy, will this effect me from the probiotic? Also since I started this program or most of it (Not on Enzymes yet) I noticed I am itching alot more under my armpits and elsewhere and some days I have yeast flareups again, yesterday was one of the worst. I started this a week ago and noticed it gets worse? Can it get worse before better? I read someone said in here the Yeast and parasites try to run, perhaps is that happening? Also as far as Enzymes, can I use an anti Candida enzyme like Candida Yeast Management (Similer to Candex) instead of the regular enzymes? I have a huge 240 pill bottle, might as well not waste it or waste money.
Hi Sean.
Sorry, but I don't have an answer for whether the PB-8 would be all right for you or not.
Yes, your experience with the rashes seems to happen for some people. The skin is a major route for expelling toxins, so it can get temporarily worse.
Yes sir, the Candida Yeast Management enzymes sound super. I would take them if I had them.
The best to you.

Hi Kelly,
Thank you for your feedback. I do not consider it preaching but sharing!! I think my weigh loss is awesome as well. I must say though that I did not loose almost 4.4 pounds in 1 week but in about 2 1/2 weeks. As I used the phase approach as suggested – I first started with the probiotic, then added caprylic acid then the L-glutamine and a multi-enzyme (3-4 days interval). The last one added was the olive leaf extract and that was a week ago. I still think that almost 4 ½ pounds is awesome for 2 ½ weeks – considering that I did not have to be on a diet to achieve this. If this continues I will loose the 20llbs I desire without effort. – but I will not be hasty - I will keep you informed.
Thanks again.

After watching a video on "Cancer is fungus" and clicking on this link to read your ideas on how to get rid of the yeast in your body (AND flatten your tummy!), I'm sold on trying it. BUT...after reading all the comments, etc., I'm really confused on what exactly to buy... You said 4 products, and then many more brand names were listed, and I'm not sure which is which. Can you please break this down for me? Brand names are fine, just so I know what to get! (Natures Secret Candistry..is that the same as PB-8? And what is the multi-enzyme that you recommend?) Thanks sooo much for your help! I very much look forward to your reply!
Hi Kings,
No problem - let's get you squared away so you can start!
From the feedback on this hubpage, Candistroy doesn't appear to do as good a job as my original recipe. So here it is:
Olive leaf extract 1 a day
Caprylic acid 1 a day
PB-8 2 a day
Powdered glutamine, 2 scoops a day
When it comes to multi-enzymes, different ones work best for different people. I use Super Strength Multi Enzymes from Vitamin World. How many a person needs is very individual. They are taken with meals.
The best to you.

Thank you VERY much for your quick and VERY helpful reply! One more question... you mentioned in your original post that some should only be taken for 1-2 months, while others should be taken "for life". Which are which? I think I get that all should be started right away, at the same time...but how long should each be taken, after that? Thanks again!
Hi Kings,
I'd take the PB-8 for life, and the rest until my cravings for sugars and carbs were gone. I would stop the glutamine after a month or two regardless.
I failed to mention that IntestiNew can be used in place of the glutamine, again for a month or two.
The enzymes can also be used indefinitely.
If I suspected I had a fair amount of yeast, I might start with the PB-8 by itself for 4 days, and then add in an additional item every four days, so long as I was feeling okay. The start up process can always be extended.
The best to you.

I can't wait to try this. I picked up the Candistroy w/probiotics. Kelley, should I be taking any additional suppliments, or does the product(s) I've purchased cover it all?
Hi Jodi,
The recipe has four main ingredients. PB-8, olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, and either glutamine or IntestiNew. Many find the addition of multi-enzymes to be helpful, too.
Candistroy is pretty good in place of the olive leaf and caprylic acid, but not as good as the original recipe. This is based on the feedback on this hubpage.
So if I hadn't opened the bottles yet, I'd exchange the Candistroy for the caprylic acid and olive leaf extract.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley, Whats going on with this site? It took me 15 min to find this hub. I panicked when I couldn't find it. This isnt the first time I had trouble finding you.Is there a way to just go to this hub? Thanks for any help you can give me!
Hi LiquidFire,
Sure! Just "Bookmark" or "Favorite" this page up top on your screen. My ranking goes up and down based on the amount of traffic which goes up and down, too. That means sometimes it's easy to find and sometimes it takes a long time. :-(
That's why it helps if readers would give me a thumb's up on Mercola. The higher it's ranked there, the more traffic that comes here, and then more readers get helped.
BTW, there is an astounding comment from Stephanie today whose husband has, or had, stage 3b lung cancer over on the other site I'm asking people to copy and paste her comment and email it to their buddy list and FaceBook and MySpace accounts with a link back to the page.
The best to you.

Hello Kelly,
As I wrote before I am doing well so far on your protocol. However, i have a question. As yeast feeds on sugar - would you reduce your intake of fruits especially sweet fruits such as grapes, pineapples, mangoes, oranges etc. Although my cravings are already reducing - I still consume a wide variety of fruits.
Thanks in advance for your response.
smlandme
Hi Smlandme,
Although other programs recommend against eating fruit, those programs don't work as well as my recipe does...and I don't suggest avoiding fruit.
Fruits are great foods. They do us a lot of good!
Enjoy!

HI Kelley,
I finally finished the book "The Doctor who Cures cancer". Thank you for such an insightful book about such a remarkable man. A long time ago, I heard about a Dr. that had microfilm tucked in between his fingers, and was searched everywhere but his upraised hands, and never knew who that Dr. was until now, it was Dr. Revici.
The Periodic table you have at the end of the book is a key of some sort, now if only I could decipher it. Way beyond my little brain.
Did you ever get to meet him yourself? Do you have Dr. Revici's book? Is there any documentation of his medicines for public access? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then I hope you are currently busy writing another book LOL.
I will be e-mailing you because I am now ready for that news letter, Peace, Rena.
Hi Rena,
I'm glad you liked my book!
Yes, I spent lots of time with Dr. Revici both at his office and at his Park Avenue condo.
I slept on his living room sofa a few times. He didn't talk a lot, but he was 98,99, and 100 years old. He was still brilliant, making frequent notes on new ideas he had.
The Periodic Table looks intimidating....because it is. LOL. Actually, what he added was two basic things.
He labeled with elements are catabolic and which ones are anabolic.He also named each horizontal Period (over on the left hand side.) The elements of each period find their homes in our body predominantly at that level.
For example, potassium collects mostly in the cytoplasm, while sodium collects mostly in the plasma. This is helpful to scientists, researchers, and physicians. They can predict what an element will do.
With Revici's Method for determining at which biological level an imbalance is present and if it's anabolic or catabolic, he could pinpoint his treatment. No guesswork...the right medicine for the right problem.
For instance, if a person had a cancer that is functioning only inside the cell in the cytoplasm and the person is anabolic, he would use a lipid with Selenium, because selenium is an anabolic element on the cellular level.
But if the disease included the plasma level he'd give two medicines. The second would be a lipid that contained sulfur.
Rena, could you put your message over on my cancer recipe hub page?
Thanks.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
I have been on the program for about 2 weeks now and I have had no die off effects. And have noticed no lessening of symptoms. (before I was taking 1240 mg of grapefruit seed extract and had huge die off effects) I am wondering if my pills are strong enough. What dose should I be taking? I have been taking 500mg olive leaf a day and 400mg of caprylic acid a day. Should I up this dose. I am 300lbs so maybe I have to take more than the average person. Thanks Kelley for this information. I am looking forward to getting rid of this yeast for good.
Hi Kelly,
Thank you for your response. I am happy to hear that your protocol also works with fruits. I love fruits and eat a wide variety - would not like to stop especially being that I seem to have positive results already.
My stomach is noticeable flatter already - it seems unbelievable!! I pray this continues. Yesterday and today I felt as though I had the flu but no obvious symptoms. I am guessing it is part of the die-off although everyone around me seems to have the flu or some sort of virus.
I am very happy - s

This is fascinating. I have always suspected that yeast was a problem for me. As a child, I had severe asthma and my doctor was constantly prescribing antibiotics for "chest infections" which were, I now know, just bad asthma attacks. This is the first article that has given me the knowledge to do something about it. Other natural therapy books just tell you to stop eating mushrooms - as if the fungus that grows mushrooms is the same as the yeast in your system, which always struck me as strange.
