I am trying to get rid of my candida. I have been doing 2 tspn of coconut oil, lime juice and raw egg yolk daily but I wondered if baking soda would work. I have a problem with acne as well so I figured getting my blood more alkaline might help. I'll try anything. Any suggestions??
I would stick to the coconut oil and avoid the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), which among other things will wipe out your stomach acid. You may want to read these:
I am trying to get rid of a specific case of oral candida, and have been dumping acidophilus capsules onto yoghurt. I have been doing at least 3 capsules, and eating the yoghurt for about a week now, with no success. Yoghurt contains acidophilus cultures (if you did not know that) which is the "good bacteria" that will choke out candida. However... my tonsils do not seem to want to give up their new vermin >:(
I am planning to try a full cleanse this weekend, but am gathering more information about it. I want to try the saltwater cleanse mentioned above. I'll let you know if this works- although very drastic! Is your case specific or full-body?
Undecylenic Acid, available on the internet, is a powerful Candida killer. A less powerful Candida killer is Caprylic Acid, great as antifungal in shoes, on carpets, and available as "Capril" in health food stores. Caprylic Acid is linked with minerals is very mild. Take Undecylenic Acid or Caprylic Acid daily for a week or ten days; then three days on and four days off; then once weekly as a maintenance dose, or as needed especially when eating carbs.
Bust open that cap with your teeth to really dose yourself for oral Candida, Thrush. Cocoanut Oil contains Caprylic Acid but would seem to "coat" Candida more than kill it if not enough enzyme activity to bust through the Candida's protein coat. Chomp a Caprylic Acid cap, nasty goat-tasting stuff, available under the trade-name "Capril." Coats your teeth and gets all gooey sticky. Works.
Pantethine will wipe out the brain-numbing, tissue-eating toxic by-product of Candidiasis, Acetaldehyde. Pantethine will also lower cholesterol, and is available under the trade name "Cholesteril." Stools may be slightly loose when first used as trash fats are eliminated from the body.
Silver Colloid for mucus membranes helps whack Candida, and can be used on the scalp. Silver Colloid may also be taken internally 1-2 oz. daily for a week, then three on four off; then weekly or as needed. Repair G.I. tract with friendly bacteria.
R-Lipoic Acid, more bio-available than Alpha Lipoic Acid/ALA should be taken after Candida has been whacked back to help repair gut lining/Leaky Gut. Drink water 1/2 hour before eating to build up mucus membrane in gut. Then take R-Lipoic Acid before eating. Stretching out the days is more important than high doses all at once.
Eating bananas is safe as banana sugar will no feed Candida. Using Erythritol sugar will kill Candida and other bacteria as a five-carbon sugar. Ditto Xylitol but in large doses can cause diarrhea. Eliminate sugars and fake sugars from the diet. Avoid sugary fruits and vegetables like peaches and corn and potatoes. Do not eat yeast breads or beer as they contain yeast food. GBU!
I think you guys should all head over to Dr Jeff's forum or go to "www.mccombsplan.com"
Honestly I felt like the Mccombs plan was too easy and I've adopted some of the methods from whole approach also to get rid of candida. Basically to get rid of it you have to take multiple antifungals over the course of 16 weeks minimum and have a very restricted diet. coconut oil alone isn't going to do it.
