Just a quick reaction, (didn't read it in detail) - the Candizyme ingredient they have is also available in other brand products, (google that, to compare prices).
The Fish collagen they tout can be far less expensively copied by making real collagen-rich chicken broth from the bones and cartilage left from any chicken dinner, simply simmer for a few hours, remove bones, cool in fridge, skim off the oil, and voila. If made correctly, it will be stiff like jello, because it is rich in collagen. After skimming fat, reheat and drink like soup. I do this a lot, and it does feel soothing to my gut. But I can't comment on all the herbs they added to their fish collagen product.
Be aware that one of their products says it has FOS, and FOS feeds some types of candida strains. (controversy on the internet about that)
Interesting combination of essential oils in the candelim. Looks like it could cause a pretty good die-off/cause stress chemicals from the candida. Ive experimented with pine and frankincense. Pine can be very stimulating whereas frankencense can have a sedative effect. I think the website said something about the combination is effective in interupting the reproduction of candida? I cant remember....
Might be a product worth experimenting with. Hard to tell how much actual essential oil they put in the product. I would rather do undecenoic acid/coconut oil first than the essential oils. The essentail oils might be harder on our system/liver--- more irritating?
I have ordered 3 bottles of CandElim to London, U.K., and am currently in my first week of trying it.
I wrote to them first to ask them a few questions which they answered professionally and convincingly. I have tried Threelac and Fivelac probiotics but they only began to work at 6 a day, and that works out very expensive in the long run. I still use high dosage probiotics (currently Jarro, I might switch to Alaczen).
I am sceptical about CandElim, but I do believe in the power of essential oils, and I have a relatively open mind about homeopathy and energies and frequencies and all that "hippy" stuff :-) . I'm aware that quacks can potentially make a lot of money out of me and my open mind, and my husband only shook his head at the price of CandElim. My gut feeling tells me there's maybe a 30% chance that it works. However, I have completely lost trust in my doctor after spending many a half-day away from work to complete yet more tests for ever more complicated and dangerous sounding illnesses which all focus on one symptom only and all come back negative or inconclusive. A long course of Fluconazole (bought over the internet because the doctor wouldn't prescribe more than one) had no effect whatsoever, nil, zero. So my chances with traditional medicine are 0%.
It's too early to report on the progress of the CandElim treatment as my hopes and fears play tricks on my body and mind. I will keep you updated.
hello! i'm very interested to know about how the CandElim works for you. Did you get the whole combo kit? I've tried many things without success and this website seems to be pretty on top of Candida.
Hi. I am about to order CandElim/ Please, tell me if it helped? cause I tried everithing. The ingridients seem to be realy good. but there are no reviews about this product and the price is realy high. Looking rarward to hearing from you/ Anna/
So, a little update to my earlier post.
I've finished my first bottle, I'm not cured (yet?) but will update again in 4 weeks after the next bottle. The spit test has not markedly improved at this stage.
I can report some positives such as less acne, no brain fog, no sensitivity to coffee, fewer problems with airborne allergies (reduction in nasal spray and asthma inhaler is now possible), and also less vaginal thrush (although this is difficult to measure, but at least no full blown attacks in the past 4 weeks), and then some possible side effects such as constipation which may be part of die-off. All of this could of course be down to the continued use of the probiotics (just about used up the jarro ESP, will now switch to Alaczen as it seems more potent), but hey, I don't have the time to try one thing at the time, I want to get better :-)
Will keep you updated.
hey xxphobia
wondering how you are making out with your second bottle. I agree with the one responder that this website does seem to be up on candida. I've read much over the last five years and yet some of this seems to be explaining why I"m suffering yet again.
anyway, I might give it a try and wondered if you had any thoughts to add after month 2.
Checking in after using up my three bottles of CandElim.
After 6 weeks, as they predicted, my spit test nearly cleared up. My "asthma" and allergies did too. Whether that was the CandElim, or the Alaczen (which I started a couple of weeks before the improvement), or a combination of all the other things I had done up to that point (Bikram Yoga - could only afford one month; Thieves Oil - diffusing and applying to feet; and the build up of Probiotics - Fivelac, then Jarro, then the Alaczen) I do not know.
I was so happy to be healthy for almost three weeks.
Then I got thrush again, and even though I continued with the CandElim and the Alaczen for the whole 3 months, I kept getting worse, and now most of the symptoms are back. The CandElim is now finished, I am not cured, and it is too expensive to keep in my experimental repertoire (although I would dearly love to keep it).
Now I'm trying to focus on the digestive system which is somewhat out of kilter, using Psyllium and Bentonite Clay, but I am very disheartened and currently at a loss what to do. Feeling very ill, especially since I now know what it feels like to be well.
Feel free to ask me any questions, happy to share.
Hi i am interested in ordering candelim but are you sayign that the candelim made your symptoms worse in the end? maybe the thrush is due to the die off from the dead candida. have your other symtoms gotten worse also? thx
I was excited to find an article about CandElim and other products and decided to try it - I've been trying to get rid of Candida about 12 years ago. I have spent so so much money trying all kinds of products and went on a restricted diet. Your testimonial got me discouraged. Now I don't know if I should try CandElim with the TotalFlora15 and the CandiClear 5. They seem to be so good together and powerful according to the article http://www.candida-yeast-infection-relief.com/?gclid=CL2Z7djByrACFQtThwodrx0hMg
It seems like one product works and then in a few months it does not work any more.
Did you try to add regular exercise to your regimen? IT seems that those who got cured exercised religiously, that's one piece of the puzzle that keeps coming up and I did find it difficult to keep to a regular consistent exercise routine.
Hope you are feeling better with your new regimen and not broke! I reached a point of giving up since I am broke. If I feel foggy again, I just go on the low carb diet to feel better. I am doing some chigong hopefully that will help and I will concentrate on praying and hearing healing bible verses. Jesus healed people then , why not now too?
All the best to all of you who are fighting this awful condition.
I have got most of my symptoms under control again, thanks to a simple Psyllium and Molasses bowel cleanse which lasts 3 months and I'm in about the third week. Info can be found here http://www.heavenministries.com/articles/phsyllium%20husk%20cleanse.htm
(and no, I'm not religious, this is just really sound advice!). And compared to CandElim and Threelac and other specialist preparations, it's practically free :-) so nothing to lose.
I also continue to use the Alaczen as directed, and I've used 1 tsp. yoghurt mixed with ca. 1/3 content of an Alaczen capsule on a tampon to deal with thrush outbreaks which stopped them in their tracks.
Skin looks great, "asthma" is gone, allergies gone (other people sneeze more than me with the seasonal hayfever!!!), no brain fog, no tiredness, no IBS symptoms, completely medication free!
There are still some lingering aches and pains I cannot explain, mainly in my gut and in my hips, maybe they are detox symptoms. I'm back at Bikram Yoga for a month and getting fitter very slowly.
I'm over the moon at this point and feeling very positive. Will try and update again at the end of my bowel cleanse course. xx
Hi, im glad your getting some relief. so are you saying that the candelim helped for you in getting rid of the candida in the end and you just had detox symptoms after. i would like to know so that i can order it thanks
Hi,
I too began researching Candelim which brought me to you. I see that you say "no brainfog" when describing your progress. I have apparently had candida for many years. I had toenail fungus and thick yellow skin on my feet since age 15. I am 48 now. I also have thick discolored skin on my elbows and ankles. My skin is not great but... I could deal with all of these if I had to. My biggest complain is constant brainfog.
I've be unalert and miserable for years. It did get worse with age and after children. My history in short is that I suspected yeast for years. Then I went on a diet which just happened to be like the candida diet. Within 3 wks I was suffering horrible die off. Shaky, dizzy, total brainfog and mental confusion. I felt downright horrible and incapacitated.
Realizing this was die off I decided to fight the yeast harder. I started Candizyme and then added Candigone. Well my mind and body are in bad shape. I am useless. I switched to Candex and fivelac. I still have god awful die off. I take P&B
shakes 3xdaily. I also use milk thistle and it's not letting up at all. This bad die off has been going on for 6 weeks. I had one clear day the day after starting fivelac but the next day total fog again.
Was brainfog an issue for you to begin with or was it mostly your outward issues? I too am going broke trying to feel clear again. I was considering Candelim and Nymsar. Do you think this will lift the fog? Also are you following the restrictive diet too? Thanks for your help.
The best thing you can do for yeast overgrowth is drink kefir with over 40 strains of beneficial bacteria. It will take your brain fog and every symptom away. I can't say for sure if you will experience heavy die off symptoms because I didn't. But I'm pretty sure I had it bad. You can make your own kefir or buy it from the store.
I read the advertisement which sounded like what threelac was doing yet they both seem to steer all away from what really will work. Oregeno Oil is the stuff to get and take up to 30-40 drops per day. This stuff is aweful and burns so I put it in a gelcap which you can find on ebay at this link:http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=gelcaps&_sacat=0. The oil can also purchased on ebay which I buy 2 different kinds. One needs to be diluted with oilive oil or I use Nutiva Virgin coconut oil then you can put this on the skin to clear up everything. Here is the link for the full strength http://www.ebay.com/itm/130606210994?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
And this stuff works great too and is only 75.00-80.00 for 3 bottles
Then one needs to also take a probiotic that is not worthless as some are low budget garbage from what I read so I went with these guys as they give you one bottle if you buy five.
I read where one should not start taking the probiotic until a month after you been on the oil which makes sense .
Then one needs to get on a candida free diet and be ready to feel like death warmed over for a few days ,especially when waking. I think this whole process could really take up to a year as this is no in and out process . I also am taking Milk thistle along with many other vitamins but the milk thistle is for your liver as the die off drowns your body with 2 toxins which sounded like they were pretty rotten. The Oregeno oil though is the key as this stuff hates all germs,bacteria,virus and fungus except the good bacteria we have which have been killed off thanks to antibiotic use.This oil has been tested in labs and found to stand right up to anything antibiotics can do and now even more and nothing can adapt to this stuff. I have been on the diet for 2 months and now been on the oregenop oil for 2 weeks and have noticed almost everything is gone. This stuff helps also if you suffer from back pain or maybe any kind of pain and have heard the yeast love to go to them areas that have been weakened. I have had 3 back surgeries with the third a double lumbar fusion. I went to China where I got salmonela and they drowned me for 3 days with liquid antibiotics. Really did a good kill off in my gut . I wondered why it felt as though I had just drank battery acid for 3 weeks after. Then it started hitting me about 2 months later. I will use oregeno oil over antibiotics from now on. There is alot of good articles on this stuff on the internet.I hope my 2 cents worth help out here and save money , do not believe these others as they are trying to get rich off of us because they know we are deparate for help.
I am not used to using these forums so please bare with me and hope I am doing this right. Anyway I had to add that Sugar is thier favorite food, that is the yeast bacteria and I have to have my coffee sweet so I found one that is all natural and actually taste good . It can be bought in bulk to save money , think it is 60.00 for 15 pounds. The stuff is called xylitol. It is not like these others natural sweeteners and is actually good for your teeth as it will strengthen your teeth. I also think it is important to know why this is so hard to kill off. I read where it actually will burrow deep and go dormant. These other fungi killers simply cannot reach them then when the coast is clear they come back out to play and make your life miserable leaving you with nothing but frustration as you thought you were cured. So then I found this oregeno oil goes and finds them sleeping in thier dormant state unlike any of the others. I wasted 225.00 on the three lac only to have this stuff go full blown and worse than before I started on anything and so I am well aware of how discouaging it can be to think you are on your way to better health only to find out they actually multiplied by a hundred zillion., sort of retaliation on the baterias part, they do have an attitude as oit would seem so one must have determination and stick with this and as I said already,be in for the long haul as everything that was in balance before is now a circus act inside you and needs to be put back in order. The yeast I guess have thier place as they are like the bottom feeders so to speak but I would think killing them all off throughout your body through diet and the oil and other ,then the introduction of the probiotocs after a month to remodel your insides as I call it then let the little trouble makers back in. then in the future if you have to take any antibiotics then be taking a probiotic of 50 billion or greater along with it. Atleast through all the reading I have done this is how it is all to get back to normal and if anyone has anything they can add to this to help me better understand please do as I never ever want to go back there ever again. I also must say that I weas told to take vitamin e and anything that boost the immune system and that is another thing which I read the oil does is amp your immune system. This stuff has been used for thousands of years and is now just catching on here in the US . This stuff really does kill alot of other stuff also so do not limit it to just curing Candida but do your research as I just heard they are having ebola breakouts in places and this stuff works on that also. Here is one article on all that it does or atleast some things: http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/oregano-oil/
