How to Flatten Your Tummy and End Food Cravings EFFORTLESSLY
93And 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.
Thanks,

Hi Rena.
Thanks for the update and for trying to spread the word!

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 LaNae.
There's no special time of day when I'm doing it.
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.

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.
The best to you.

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.
I shoudn't have come down so hard. It was a message for everyone, not for you specifically.
The best to you.

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
The best to you.

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

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.
