CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION
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
OUR MISSION is to provide you with all the knowledge you need, knowledge
that heals.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH
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.
* 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.
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
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 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
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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!
This is a critical point…not all carbs are equal and some food sources are bad for
your candida condition and overall health:
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”:
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
We highly encourage eating local & organic/wild grown foods as much as possible
for the following reasons:
Why Local
Why Organic
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.
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.
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
There are essentially 5 types of supplements that may be beneficial for candida
and yeast issues:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
We highly recommend to work with your doctor or health provider and get tested
for vitamins and minerals deficiencies, especially for these common ones:
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.
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!
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH
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.
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.
THE CANDIDA AND YEAST INFECTION HOLISTIC BREAKTHROUGH
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
