CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION

It is believed by many health experts that in North America alone 7 out of 10


people suffer from candida and yeast infections.
When we look at the main reasons, we end up with one conclusion - modern life!
Whether it is poor diets, high usage of medications, ongoing stress or other
factors, they all seem tightly related to modern life.

If Candida overgrowth is the body’s response to modern life, it is no surprise that


this has turned into a true epidemic impacting so many people.
So how do you treat a condition that may be a result of modern life?
(Since we can’t really escape from modern life...at least not the majority of us…)

We at Candida Specialists, believe that having the right knowledge may be the
answer. In fact, our many years of experience and extensive research strongly
support that. Indeed, in many cases, the right knowledge can heal.

Realizing that the knowledge we have gained over the years may be the key in
helping so many people, we decided to publish it in our web site as a free public
service. This way everyone, regardless of location or situation can enjoy this
valuable information.

We have been constantly sharing this knowledge and the results speak for
themselves. People are healing and finally get their health back, sometimes after
suffering their entire lives.
So what made us so successful in treating candida?

 OUR PRACTICE combines natural time proven traditional methods with the
latest modern research

 WE BELIEVE in the body’s ability to heal itself.


Just as nature intended.

 OUR MISSION is to provide you with all the knowledge you need, knowledge
that heals.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

CHAPTER 2 – THE ANTI-CANDIDA PROTOCOL

Our approach to candida and yeast issues is very simple, yet it has proven to be
very effective as well: create an environment in the body where candida can’t
overgrow while optimizing the body’s ability to naturally heal.

This is achieved by:


(All steps should be included*, order of the steps matters)

 STEP 1 – COLON CLEANSE


Oxygen based colon cleanse may optimize the body’s natural elimination,
cleansing, and toxins removal while minimizing die off symptoms

 STEP 2 - ANTI-CANDIDA DIET (“Starve the yeast” but not you…)


Anti-Candida diet eliminates foods that can overfeed candida or weaken your
immune system and body. In addition, this diet includes foods & remedies that
may help your body to heal and naturally balance the overgrowth

 STEP 3 – CANDIDA TARGETED PROBIOTICS


Using candida targeted probiotics that can restore your gut flora, balance the
excess yeast and prevent candida overgrowth

 STEP 4 – RESTORE NUTRIENTS


Specific nutrients that can help the body repairing the damage caused by the
overgrowth as well as avoiding nutritional deficiencies

 STEP 5 – NATURAL ANTIFUNGALS


Strategic usage of natural antifungals that can help controlling the yeast
overgrowth in more severe cases of candida, if needed.

* Notice how antifungals come last, as they are not always needed.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Many anti candida plans and protocols tend to focus on one or more of these
elements but overlook others, resulted a wide variety of health issues, strong die-
off symptoms and even nutritional deficiencies.

Our Experts Recommendation

 Ideal plan should contain all healing components with antifungals being the
only optional element
 It is important to remember that any plan should be tailored to the individual
state of health, needs and lifestyle
 This book is designed to help you build the ideal plan for you, as well as to
avoid critical mistakes that can ruin any plan
 Educate yourself as much as possible and share this information with your
health provider. After reading this book you may discover new observations
about your condition that may be very useful.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

CHAPTER 3 – OVERALL PLAN CRITICAL MISTAKES

It is absolutely critical to have a clear overall plan and strategy. While this sounds
simple and straightforward, it is often overlooked. Many plans focus on short-
term steps, leaving patients with incomplete or unclear path moving forward.
When this happens, many people feel “stuck” at one point of another with no
clue how to proceed. This is a critical point were many mistakes are made, or
when people stop following the plan.

The key to succeed in any candida plan: become aware of the signs your
body is sending you, and know what they actually mean. This way, you can
intelligently modify your plan and next steps according to your body’s needs.
This point is one of the key differentiator of our approach: we strongly focus on
education so you may have the needed tools to make the right choices based on
your own body’s needs.

The Problem with Candida & Yeast Infection Treatment


It is estimated that 7 out of 10 people in north America suffer from candida and
yeast issues. Being such a common condition, you would expect to quickly get the
right diagnosis followed by a quick yeast infection treatment in one of two visits
to your local doctor.

In reality, it is common to mistakenly confuse candida issues with other medical


conditions, giving patients the wrong treatment, and even when the yeast
infection issue is identified correctly, the needed treatment has also been an area
of confusion by many health providers. The result - many people find themselves
going from one doctor to another, switching between one plan to another only to
end up feeling sicker and even more confused.

The good news is that with candida and yeast issues being so common, there is
enough data and experience to understand this condition very well, and also the
correct treatment. Let’s explore the most common critical mistakes.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Starting the plan without knowing the root cause

Often overlooked, before starting any plan, the first step is to identify the source
and possible causes of the candida and yeast overgrowth. You want to get an
answer to the basic question - how did I get here! Eliminating these factors or
finding proper alternatives can be the key, especially in cases of:

Antibiotics, steroids or other medication


Birth control pill
Diet high in sugars, processed food or bad eating habits
Overeating
Hormonal issues
Low or compromised immune system due to health conditions or other
treatments
Exposure to chemicals, toxins or heavy metals
Other health issues such as bacterial infections

Ignoring the individual condition and state of health

The program needs to be tailored to the patient. What worked for 9 people can
make the 10th person condition become worse. Some people are so sick, that any
diet change can cause them severe discomfort and health issues.
We see many protocols that require drastic diet and lifestyle changes, while all
that is really needed are minor dietary changes.
Think about it this way - the dietary needs of active people are completely
different than non-active ones; hence – the one plan/diet fits all approach simply
do not work.

Our Experts Recommendation


Educate yourself, understand the reason behind the changes you make, and use
common sense. Share your observations and what you are planning to do with
your health practitioner
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Starting the program when you are constipated

This is the most common mistake we see and the number 1 reason so many
anti-candida programs fail. Before starting any candida cleanse, yeast infection
treatment or in fact any detox plan, we highly recommend you to do a complete
colon cleanse. This can help you in making sure you are not constipated.
If you are constipated, the released toxins may circulate longer in your body
making you feel sick. This is why so many people experience strong die-off
symptoms and healing crises; totally unnecessary and easy to avoid!

Remember, the fact that you experience candida and yeast issues may indicate
that your elimination function is not effective; otherwise, you won’t have these to
begin with.

A very effective and safe way that may address this, is an oxygen colon cleanse,
which as its name suggests, uses oxygen in your digestive tract to clean your colon
and flush all the toxic buildup out of your body.

If you have never done an oxygen based colon cleanse before, chances are having
one will make you feel much better. This is by far the most important step to do
before starting any candida or yeast treatment, and in fact any detox protocol.

Our Experts Recommendation


Always perform oxygen colon cleanse before starting any candida or yeast plan.
This may help you to optimize your body’s natural toxins elimination functions as
well as minimizing die-off symptoms.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Making drastic changes too fast

Many people are so eager to start they switch from one extreme to another. Very
quickly, they lose control and stop the plan before any significant healing took
place. This often creates such a shock to the body that it makes it very hard to
continue, either because of feeling really bad due to high toxins overload, or due
to hunger, strong craving for bad foods or the lack of support to current lifestyle.

Our Experts Recommendation


When making changes, apply a few changes each time. Give yourself enough time
to evaluate how your body responds to different foods, supplements, and other
changes. This is a very effective way to catch sensitivities to various foods which
are very common with candida overgrowth.

Going Too Fancy

We see it a lot – complicated diet plans, sophisticated meals that take forever to
make, large amount of supplements, pills and powders…you get the picture and
can guess our recommendation here – Keep things simple! When in doubt, always
consult with your health provider.

Our Experts Recommendation

Ideally, your plan should be sustainable and not consume your entire time. It may
take a while in the beginning to become efficient, but things should get easier as
you move along.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Blindly following the GURU

There's a lot to say about this one, but it all comes down to one question - are you
going to take responsibility for your health, or let someone else do it for you.
We have seen too many people ignoring their own bodies and common sense,
spending their entire savings following the wrong advice or plan.
Nature has given all of us a gift of self-healing…we just need to learn how to let
nature do what it does the best without putting obstacles on the way.

Our Experts Recommendation


Listen to your body and common sense, educate yourself and learn as much as
you can so you can take responsibility for your health.
Become aware of how your body responds and how different changes make you
feel. This can also enable you to provide your doctor with important information
and feedback that may be useful in your treatment.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

CHAPTER 4 – THE ANTI-CANDIDA DIET

Diet is one of the most important parts of any candida and yeast program, yet
there is a lot of confusion around it. In fact, in many cases, wrong diet choices are
what caused candida to get out of control to begin with.

The best candida diet has to be tailored to the individual state of health, needs
and lifestyle. We know, we said it before… but this is such an important point...
An active person who works out every day for several hours has significantly
different needs than someone who is not active at all. They can’t be on the same
diet or supplementation plan.

Furthermore, people bodies, especially the digestion system tend to differ from
each other. This is due to genetics, environmental diversity, and many other
factors.

What does it all mean?


The same food that may benefit some people, can harm others.

The keys to the perfect candida diet: Know what foods to avoid and what
foods to eat; become aware of how your body responds to these foods. Fine tune
your diet until you are completely healed.
Besides feeling better, you may also use what you’ve learned about your own
body for the rest of your life!

Let’s cover some common diet mistakes, and the recommended approach.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Starve the Yeast and You – Does The Low-Carb Approach Work?

A common approach to the anti-candida and yeast diet is a strict low


carbohydrates one. The theory behind it is that candida needs sugars to exist and
multiply, and therefore limiting sugars (carbs) during the treatment can “starve
the yeast” and get rid of the candida overgrowth.

It is true that most people over-eat. Eating too many calories and carbs, especially
from bad foods such as processed foods, sweets, and other “empty calories” can
cause candida overgrowth. In fact, it is one of the common causes.
When you overeat or eat processed/bad foods, you create a problem; the body
can’t effectively handle these poor food choices, and they often end up feeding
candida. In some cause, more than they feed your body! This can lead to candida
overgrowth and other yeast related infections.

Most people experience short term benefits by limiting their calories or their
carbs consumption. Some people actually do very well on a low-carb diet their
entire life.

With that said, what we see quite often is exactly the opposite: people who do
not thrive on the low-carb approach to say the least…many people experience
issues with the low-carb approach shortly after or within a few weeks on it. Their
energy levels are getting very low, they feel weak, fatigue, can’t focus and are
constancy hungry. With lack of energy and low vitality, they can’t work out or
exercise, their mood is down, they may even reduce their social interactions and
can’t maintain their lifestyle; they become miserable, feel sick, and constantly
think about foods and carbs. Furthermore, many people find themselves battling
with eating disorders and of course their candida overgrowth and health will not
get any better when this happens.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

So what is the solution?

Most people will not stay on a diet long enough if it doesn’t provide enough
rewards to make it “worthy”. Rewards can be positive results from the diet such
as weight loss, looking better, feeling healthier, etc. Rewards can also mean
feeling satisfied after eating - a huge factor even to the most hardcore dieters.

Let’s explore how to build the perfect diet for you.


THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

How Much Carbs to Consume

Eating carbs is very similar to fueling your car: you can’t drive if you are out of
fuel, but when too much fuel gets into the engine, prepare to take your precious
car to the car’s doctor…

When it comes to carb consumption, your goal should be to match your carb
intake to the energy you spend, or slightly less if you want to lose weight.
It is important to remember that different people may need different amounts of
carbs; some people can handle large amount of carbs very effectively and they
usually feel great on a higher carb plan.
Others people may need much less carbs and thrive on very low-carb plans with
higher percentages of their calories coming from fats or proteins.

As a rule of thumb, you should consume the minimum amount of carbs that gives
you enough energy and vitality. Very similar to your car, if you consume too little
carbs – you may get out of energy; if you consume too much, you get
tired…finding your ideal target takes a little time, but you may benefit from it
tremendously for the rest of your life! It is important to remember that the body
usually needs some time to adapt to your new and improved eating habits. A
good place to start that work for most people is about 20-40 grams of carbs in a 3
hours window divided by 2-5 meals a day.

Our Experts Recommendation

 Clean your diet! As a first easy step, replace bad foods with healthier ones.
(we’ll cover this in depth in the next sections)
 Know your food! Online tools can be very helpful in estimating carbs content
as well as other nutrients of various foods. Tracking your food intake daily and
how it makes you feel can make a huge difference!

Here is a free online tool we like to use https://cronometer.com


THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

The Best & Worse Carb Sources

This is a critical point…not all carbs are equal and some food sources are bad for
your candida condition and overall health:

Bad carbs sources Great Carbs Sources


Processed foods  Fresh raw organic ripe fruits
Beverages (in moderation… more on fruits
Dairy on the next section)
Gluten, grains & wheat  Fresh organic vegetables &
Alcohol greens (raw, steamed, cooked,
Foods that are hard to digest or in fresh fruit-free juices or
commonly known allergens: smoothies)
peanuts, tree nuts, soy, dairy  Sprouts and microgreens (raw
commonly known hard to digest or in fresh fruit-free juices or
foods: beans, legumes smoothies)
any additional food you know
you are sensitive to
Dry fruits (due to high sugar impact)

Our Experts Recommendation


Select the good sources of carbs, experiment how your body responds and give
your body enough time to adjust. This is going to be a learning experience of
findings what type of fuel works best for your body and how much of it your body
really needs.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Fruits and Candida

Eating fruits while on the candida diet has always made many people confused
and misinformed.
After all, fruits are loaded in sugars and sugars may feed candida, therefore they
should all be avoided…right?
Wrong! The reason behind this common confusion is that many people and even
health providers don’t always know how to properly consume fruits! In addition,
not all fruits are the same in terms of their sugars content and potential impact on
blood sugars levels. Let’s take a closer look into “how to properly consume fruits”:

Fruits Potential Health Benefits

 Quick fuel source, easily digested and assimilated by the body


 Rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fiber, antioxidants and other health
promoting phytochemicals
 May help the body to reduce inflammation (unlike other carbs sources such as
grains and wheat that actually create inflammation in the body)
 Naturally cleansing and detoxifying
 Can improve digestion and relieve constipation
 Excellent for hydration, great for restoring electrolytes after physical activities
 Many of fruits potential health benefits are backed by science

Eat fruits on an empty stomach


When you eat fruits, they pass the stomach very quickly compared to other foods.
In fact, fruits are broken down during the digestion process in the small intestine
and not in the stomach. This means that if the stomach isn’t empty, the fruits can
stay trapped in the stomach by the previous meal and start to rot and ferment
very quickly. If you ever had watermelon as desert after a big meal, you know
what we mean.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Eat fruits by themselves


Do not mix different type of fruits as different fruits tend to have different
digestion times and may require completely different environment in the body to
be properly digested. Also, do not eat fruits with other types of foods for the
same reason as well as the first reason we have mentioned.

Only eat ripe fruits


When a fruit is ripe, it is in the perfect state for consumption in terms of ease of
digestion, taste and best nutrients assimilation by the body. This is the only state
you should eat your fruits to get the most benefits and avoid issues.
Nature made sure to make us attracted to ripe fruits by making their color more
vibrant, their aroma more pleasant, their taste richer etc.
When you eat fruits that are not ripe, you eat foods that are still not ready to be
consumed. This is a very common mistake we see every day. It is a totally
different experience: taste is not great, sometimes offensive, you may even get
digestion issues such as gas and constipation…exactly the opposite compared to
when eating ripe fruits!

Avoid fruit smoothies and fruit juices


During your candida cleanse, we highly recommend to only eat fruits in their
whole fresh natural raw state, and not to juice or blend them. This may help to
minimize the risk of high sugar spikes and digestion issues.
It is ok to squeeze lemon or lime juice on your greens.

Only eat fresh fruits


While sun-dry fruits such as dates, plums or goji berries can be very healthy in
certain cases, we do not recommend them during your candida cleanse. Fresh
fruits have more liquids naturally stored in them which can help to hydrate your
body and make their digestion easier. In addition, fresh fruits usually make people
feel fuller and more satisfied.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Only eat fruits that taste good to you


One of the added benefits of including fruits in your diet is that they taste great.
They may also satisfy your sweet tooth.
In fact, many people feel happier when they replace their first meal of the day
with a fresh ripe fruit they enjoy.
If you don’t enjoy the flavor, texture, etc. stop! Your body is trying to tell you
something, and you should not eat any fruit (or any food actually) that doesn’t
taste good to you, no matter how healthy it is claimed to be.

How much fruits can you eat?


We get this question a lot, for a good reason…fruits are sweet, delicious and
healthy so it is very easy to eat a lot of them, both physically and emotionally.
“Too much of a good thing”? When it comes to fruits quantities, here are a few
facts to consider:

Most fruits are concentrated sources of carbs. Eat enough to get enough
fuel and energy that support your activities, but don’t overeat and count
their carbs content
If you are not used to eating fruits, introduce them slowly to your diet, one
type of fruit at a time to learn how your body responds and whether you
are sensitive to that fruit
Fruits have strong cleansing effect, which is another reason to start with
small portions (20 grams of carbs), and gradually increase the amount if
needed
Berries are usually an excellent choice for the candid diet; they taste great,
are relatively low in sugars and calories, and are very high in antioxidants
and other health promoting nutrients
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Organic vs Conventional Foods

We highly encourage eating local & organic/wild grown foods as much as possible
for the following reasons:

Why Local

 Fresher which means potentially more nutrients


 Less “transportation time” means less toxins that can penetrate into your food
during the transportation (think about airplanes, trucks, roads, pollution,
smoke, and others)
 Less pollution to the environment due to less transportation time
 Support your local community

Why Organic

 May provide more nutrients compared to conventional (non-organic)


 No toxins from pesticides usage
 Usually taste better
 GMOs free
 Support the environment and earth due to organic agricultural practices

CHAPTER 5 – ANTI CANDIDA SUPPLEMENTS

About half of the questions we get everyday are related to candida supplements.
Unfortunately, many people experience issues after taking the wrong products or
because they did not use them correctly.

Many products include harsh and aggressive ingredients that may damage your
health and cause serious health complications. Other products are not potent
enough, use formulas that do not make any sense or are not backed by science.

In this section, we made a lot of effort to address all of your questions. We


believe and hope you will find it useful, make the most out of the supplements
you take, and avoid these common mistakes that may lead to health issues.

When it comes to anti-candida supplements, always remember this very


basic healing principle: the goal is to balance the overgrowth, not to kill the
yeast
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Products to Avoid – How to Identify Poor Products

A big part of our work is spent on extensive research for the best natural ways to
improve people’s health and lives. This also includes an ongoing review of the
products on the market. What we have found is alarming: many candida products
are dangerous and can harm your health; others are not effective or have no solid
research behind them.

How to Recognize Poor/Risky Products

Pay close attention to products that contain:

Harsh antifungals, synthetics or chemicals that are too aggressive


Lack of details on why the ingredients are included in the formula
Low quality ingredients, often cheap herbs that are not potent, not fresh,
contaminated and do not come from trusted certified known sources.
Typically in these cases there will be very little data on the source of the
ingredients
Presence of toxic substances and heavy metals
Toxic fillers and binders are often added to reduce manufacturing costs,
make ingredients bind together or look/taste better. Lubrication substances
are commonly used to prevent herbs and powders from getting stuck to the
machines. Yikes! Not only our bodies do not need these, they can cause
health issues and even cancer.
If you see any of these ingredients listed in a product, we highly suggest
to completely avoid the product: Magnesium Stearate, Talc,
Hydrogenated Oils, Titanium Dioxide, Silicon Dioxide, Carrageenan,
artificial colors
Small amounts of active ingredients
Too many ingredients combined together. This makes it impossible to
conduct enough testing on possible interactions between them, or
potential allergies or sensitivities to one ingredient or more
Animal by-products such as gelatin capsules
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Our recommendation – look for high quality products that typically provide:

 Brands that focus on 100% natural fresh, organic or wild grown ingredients
to ensure high potency. If the ingredients are organic or wild, it will be
specifically mentioned on the supplement facts
 Source of ingredients is openly shared
 Formulas are backed by science
 High quality ingredients and manufacturing procedures
 Limited amount of ingredients
 Whole foods and herbs based formulas
 Absolutely no fillers, binders or added chemicals
 No GMOs, gluten free, vegan
 No animal by-products, vegan capsules
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

What Are the Best Candida Supplements?

Supplements can make a big difference when used correctly. It is critical to


understand however, what is the root cause of the overgrowth and the individual
state of health, especially when prescription drugs or medications are used.

There are essentially 5 types of supplements that may be beneficial for candida
and yeast issues:

Oxygen colon cleansers


Systemic & digestive enzymes
Candida targeted probiotics
Antifungals
Nutrients & body support
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Oxygen Colon Cleansers


The most important thing to do before starting any detox plan is to optimize your
body’s natural toxins elimination function. This is a critical step that is often
overlooked. If your colon is congested, constipated, or toxic, you may suffer from
strong die-off symptoms. This is due to the delayed time it takes your body to
eliminate the toxins released by the dying candida, parasites or other pathogens.
If you suffer from candida or yeast issues, cleansing your colon also means that
there will be less stored waste that can feed candida. This creates an environment
in your body that may encourage friendly probiotic growth hence making
probiotic supplements much more effective.

Remember, the fact that you have candida overgrowth may indicate that
your elimination function is not effective; otherwise, you won’t have the
overgrowth to begin with

Oxygen colon cleansers are superior to fiber, herbal or laxatives based colon
cleansers in terms of efficiency and safety, including the added benefits of the
released oxygen in your colon.

Oxy-Powder® is our favorite and recommended choice with its effectiveness and
safety shown in clinical studies and backed up by research. Oxy-Powder works by
using time released oxygen in the entire digestive tract. The released oxygen
turns the solid hard toxic fecal matter and waste into liquid or gas so they can be
easily flushed out naturally by the body.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Most people who use Oxy-Powder report a sense of great relief, increased
energy, better clarity and significantly improved bowel movements and digestion
with many digestion issues such as constipation, bloating, body odor and gas
being resolved. These improvements are not surprising considering that on
average, this toxic waste weight may be 10-20 pounds and sometimes even more.
When the body gets rid of such a burden, it has more energy and resources to
perform better and to heal other areas which were neglected before.

You will be amazed how much stored waste and toxins were in your colon all
these years, and how good it feels after all this hard toxic fecal matter is out of
your body.

In a clinical study done on IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) patients with related constipation,
Oxy-powder was shown to be very effective, with all patients showing significant improvements
with no adverse reactions to Oxy-Powder®. A second study done on patients with chronic
constipation showed similar success rate and results.

Our Experts Recommendation


Always do an oxygen colon cleanse before starting any candida or detox program.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Systemic & Digestive Enzymes

The second most important step when treating candida overgrowth (after the
colon cleanse) is to optimize your digestion. This is also a critical step that is often
overlooked and one of the main reasons many candida programs fail.

Digestion issues typically lead to fermented and undigested food particles


that can feed the yeast and weaken the immune system. This may prevent the
body from balancing the excess yeast, and in many cases can even cause the
candida overgrowth to become worse

This is exactly where enzymes supplements can make a big difference. Coupled
with proper dietary changes, it is one of the most effective ways to address
digestion issues; it can significantly improve digestion and help the body to
naturally balance the candida overgrowth.

There are 2 groups of enzymes that may be very beneficial for candida and yeast
issues:

 Digestive enzymes break down the food we eat into smaller nutrients such
as amino acids, sugars, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals which
are easily absorbed and utilized by the body. You can eat the healthiest
foods in the world, but without sufficient digestive enzymes, your body
may not absorb all the nutrients from the foods
 Systemic enzymes can significantly help the body in breaking down excess
yeast and candida as well as other toxins. In addition, systemic enzymes are
required in order to maintain good overall health; ongoing tasks such as
immune system support, tissue repair, organs regeneration, inflammation
reduction and others depend on having enough systemic enzymes in your
body.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

We prefer plant based enzymes over animal based due to their higher potency
and also in order to avoid potential animal related toxins such as antibiotics,
hormones, etc. Another important factor to consider when choosing enzymes
supplements is the enzymes pH range; enzymes that work in a wide pH range are
more stable in the body. Lastly, always select a complete full spectrum formula
that provides all the needed enzymes.

VeganZyme® is our preferred choice for a top of the line enzymes supplement.
What stands out is how comprehensive, complete and potent its formula is:
VeganZyme can help with most digestion issues; it may also break down excess
yeast, candida, mucus, allergens and other toxins. Its full spectrum enzymes can
support the digestion of wide variety of foods making it ideal for many different
diet plans and health conditions. The formula uses plant based – wide pH range
enzymes that are highly stable in the body, are not destroyed by the stomach
acids and can work throughout the entire digestive tract and body.

Most people report feeling “light” after meals, having more energy, less digestion
issues and better bowl movements.
If you currently have digestion issues such as gas, bloating, indigestion or food
sensitivities, VeganZyme® may provide a significant improvement and relief.

Our Experts Recommendation


Always include full spectrum enzymes in your plan, especially if you have
digestion issues

Candida targeted probiotics


Having candida and yeast issues may indicate that your gut is out of balance
between the yeast and the friendly organisms that control the yeast from over
growing and spreading. Probiotics supplements populate the intestines with
beneficial organisms that can help to restore this balance and support the
immune system. Probiotics are very popular for the treatment of candida issues
although most products on the market are not specifically designed for candida
issues. These products may be very good for your overall health, but may not be
effective for candida and yeast issues.

We prefer “candida targeted” probiotics such as the Bacillus laterosporus strain


(B.O.D.™) that are shown in research to specifically target and balance excess
candida and yeast,.

Latero-Flora™ is our recommended choice due to the strong research behind it,
its high potency and stability. The fact that it is stable in room temperature and
doesn’t need to be refrigerated means you can take it with you wherever you go.
It is also suitable for vegans unlike most probiotics that are derived from dairy.

During laboratory test results, latero-flora


has demonstrated a strong inhibitory
effect on candida:

Our Experts Recommendation


Always include “candida targeted” probiotics in your plan as an effective natural
solution that may help your body to balance the excess yeast

Antifungals

This is one of the most confused and misused group of supplements for Candida.
Anti-candida or antifungal supplements contain ingredients that directly or
indirectly can kill candida and yeast in your body. While this can be very beneficial
in certain cases, it can also backfire if not used correctly. One of the biggest
problem we see with these type of supplements, is that many of them are too
strong, toxic, contain harsh chemicals and act as stimulants which can actually
prevent your body from healing. This is a very common misconception – many
people use antifungals in order to artificially “kill the yeast” where what you really
want to do is to restore the natural balance in your body, so your body can safely
eliminate the excess yeast naturally – two completely different things.

How to Use Antifungals

When using antifungals, following principles should be followed for best results.
This may also help to avoid potential side effects and candida die off symptoms:

 Dosage – Always start with the lowest possible dosage and test your body’s
response. Gradually increase the dosage if needed. Some people are more
sensitive than others and may get great results using very low dosage. This is
also a good way that may minimize side effects. More is definitely not better in
this case
 Antifungals Rotation – It is common for candida to develop resistance when
the same antifungals ingredients are used overtime. Take breaks or alternate
between different types of antifungals and candida supplements if needed
 Natural vs. Synthetic – We prefer natural ingredients that work with your own
body’s natural elimination functions. Synthetic substances that aggressively
attack candida may create additional imbalances that can damage other parts
of your body and won’t help you heal. Always select organic or wild crafted
ingredients from a trusted source, as these are usually more potent and pure
compared to conventional non-organic ones. Another reason we recommend
organic or wild ingredients is that many conventional extracts contain high
levels of toxins, pesticides and are not GMO free.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

Remember – candida is a natural part of your body’s ecosystem, so helping


your body balancing the overgrowth should be the goal rather than artificially “kill
the yeast”

Mycozil® is our recommenced choice for a natural organic and wild crafted
antifungal that may help your body to balance candida overgrowth and excess
yeast in a completely natural way. It is very potent but also very gentle and safe.
We found Mycozil’s formula to be very well-balanced with ingredients that have
been traditionally used around the world for centuries, and are also backed up by
science, showing strong anti-fungal activity in large number of studies.

You should take Mycozil for 6 weeks followed by 6 weeks break. During the 6
weeks break, evaluate the improvements made and issues that are still present. If
you still have health concerns after the 6 weeks break, you can continue for 6
more weeks as long as you see consistent improvements.

Many people that use Mycozil® report improvements in “stubborn” yeast


infections symptoms they have had for many years such as athlete’s foot, toenail
fungus or other nails and skin fungal infections that normally take longer time to
completely heal.

Our Experts Recommendation


Use natural organic or wild crafted antifungals such as Mycozil for candida and
yeast issues that are still not fully resolved despite following a clean candida diet,
oxygen colon cleansing, and consistent use of systemic & digestive enzymes with
“Candida Targeted” probiotics for at least 4 weeks

CHAPTER 6 - BODY SUPPORT SUPPLEMENTS

One of the biggest issues with candida overgrowth, is its potential negative
impact on nutrients absorption and uptake which may lead to nutritional
deficiencies and low immune system function. Add to that the modern diet that is
typically low in high quality nutrients, and it should be no surprise why many
people with candida and yeast issues also suffer from nutritional deficiencies.

Why this is so important?

Without these vital nutrients your body may not be able to effectively overcome
the candida overgrowth and repair the damage caused by the overgrowth. This is
also important in order to prevent further health complications due to chronic
nutritional deficiencies over a long period of time.

In fact, many people that have experienced major difficulties in healing from
candida overgrowth, finally see a significant progress once they become aware
and make sure to consume all the needed nutrients.

Get Tested For Individual Deficiencies

We highly recommend to work with your doctor or health provider and get tested
for vitamins and minerals deficiencies, especially for these common ones:

 Vitamin B12 and the rest of the B vitamins


 Vitamin D
 Magnesium
 Calcium
 Potassium
 Selenium
 Iron
 Zinc
 Iodine
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

This is a very important step that goes above and beyond candida overgrowth
issues; overtime, certain deficiencies (such as vitamin B12, Vitamin D and others)
can cause serious health complications that can’t be reversed and may even
become permanent.

Whole-food vs. Synthetic Supplements

As we all know, vitamins and mineral supplements are very popular and are a
normal part of our daily life. Most people take some sort of vitamins – minerals
formulas every day. But do these formulas actually work? Can they really improve
our health and help preventing nutritional deficiencies?

This is especially important for people who do not eat a well-balanced diet
consistently (which can quite challenging)…Furthermore, there are many factors
that may cause issues with food absorption and nutrients utilization from the
foods we eat. Such factors may include low absorption in the gut as a result of
candida overgrowth, digestion issues, chronic constipation and more. Scientists
are still debating about the efficiency of vitamins and minerals supplements.
According to research, some minerals and vitamins supplements do absorb in the
body, while some are not. Many health experts believe that the reason for that is
the way these supplements are made; many of the vitamins and minerals
supplements are created artificially in a lab and are not natural. The body doesn’t
always recognize the form of these synthetic ingredients which leads to poor or
no utilization at all. (Not to mention the potential issues that may occur as the
body tries to get rid of these unnatural chemicals). This can be one of the reasons
why people don’t feel anything or notice any positive results from taking these
supplements. Whole food supplements on the other hand, are a totally different
story. They are naturally concentrated in vitamins and minerals, usually in a form
that can be easily assimilated by the body. The body can recognize these forms,
and is designed to utilize the nutrients from them. Just as nature intended!

How to Choose Whole-Food Supplements for Candida

Whole-food based supplements are very popular with a large variety to choose
from. While there are many high quality products available, there are also ones
that you shouldn’t get.

Watch for High Number of Ingredients – This is so important, it is actually


relevant to any supplement you may take. Many whole-food based products
contain a lot of ingredients. Consuming many ingredients can cause serious
potential issues, such as undesired interactions between the different
ingredients, sensitivities and even a strong reaction to one or more of the
ingredients. Many people experience stomach pain and digestion issues due to
wrong combination of ingredients used. Many of these supplements are not
designed to provide nutrients support for candida overgrowth where food
sensitivities and digestion issues are very common! With so many ingredients
in one formula it is impossible to properly test how they would interact
together in your body once consumed.

The Source of the Ingredients Matters – The second factor to consider is the
source and purity of the ingredients used. Ideally, the ingredients should be
fresh, potent and safe. Always select a product from a trusted source that is
committed to high quality ingredients. Product should include specific details
about each of the ingredients used, their source and potency. Look for
ingredients that are 100% organic or wild grown, as they are usually more
potent and pure.

Watch for Added Ingredients – Pay close attention to the added ingredients;
there should be none! Many products contain additional chemicals, artificial
sweeteners, food coloring, and processed sugars to improve the taste of the
formula which may harm your health or even cause the overgrowth to get
worse. These should be avoided.

Recommended Products for Nutrients & Body Support

Finding natural whole-food supplements that are beneficial for candida and yeast
issues isn’t a simple task. In fact, many whole-food supplements that are
considered very healthy and may be a perfect fit for healthy people, are not
recommended for people who suffer from candida and yeast issues; in our
research we saw many products with ingredients that can feed the yeast in the
body and make the candida overgrowth become worse; many other formulas had
ingredients that can trigger allergic reactions or cause strong die off symptoms.
A lot of these products are truly great products with many health promoting
benefits, just not a good fit for people with candida and yeast issues.

E3Live Blue-Green Algae is our favorite choice for nutrients support during the
candida program, due to its unique nutritional profile, high nutrients absorption,
candida detoxification abilities and a solid safety profile. Let’s have a closer look:

Specific Nutrients Support for Candida & Detoxification


E3Live blue-green algae contains only one ingredient: a wild-grown organic edible
algae called Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). It is considered by many health
authorities as one of nature’s most concentrated whole-foods making it one of
the top superfoods in the world.
The nutritional profile of the E3Live Blue-Green Algae truly stands out; it is
extremely rich in naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, amino acids, chlorophyll,
live enzymes, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, all in a form that can be easily
utilized by the body (97%). Many of these nutrients are very hard to find in the
average western diet and the fact that they can be easily absorbed by the body is
especially important in cases of candida overgrowth where nutrients absorption
issues are very common. This means that the body can utilize many of these
nutrients in order to “fill in the cracks” of missing or needed nutrients required
to repair the damage caused by the candida overgrowth. This may explain why
many people feel a big difference shortly after adding the E3Live blue-green algae
to their diets; common reported benefits include increased vitality and energy,
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH

better mood, improved focus and concentration as well as reduced inflammation


related pain.

Balance Candida Overgrowth


Another important benefit of the E3Live blue-green algae has to do with its high
chlorophyll content. In fact, it may be the highest known source of chlorophyll in
nature, with over 10 times the amount of chlorophyll found in 1 cup of raw
spinach and 5 times the amount found in wheatgrass. Chlorophyll can be very
beneficial for candida and yeast overgrowth; according to research, chlorophyll
may stop candida growth and can also neutralize the toxins released by it.

E3Live Blue-Green Algae is available in 2 forms: fresh-frozen which is the closest


to its natural state in nature and a powdered form. Both forms are very potent
and effective, with the fresh form considered better with more nutrients
preserved; just like any natural food – fresh is usually better. For this reason, most
people consume the fresh form on a daily basis and use the powder form when
they are away from home or travel.

Die-Off Symptoms

If you experience mind-balance related die-off symptoms such as brain fog,


difficulties to concentrate, mood swings, depression, stress, high levels of
inflammation or pain, you may want to consider the more concentrated version
of the E3Live blue-green algae called BrainON. This is our recommendation in
these cases as well, since BrainON can provide both the natural relief to many of
the mind-body die off discomforts, along with the impressive nutrients support
benefits of the E3Live blue-green algae.

Both BrainON and the E3Live Blue-Green Algae come with 1 year money back
guarantee.
