    • Re: Lyme by Dr.Jeff   14 h  30
       
      Immune system balance will always be the best asset. Pathogens tend to create polarization of different immune responses. Fungal candida increases the Th2 immune response, as this helps promote/allow fungal candida growth. Lyme’s on the other hand is more commonly associated with a Th1 dominance, although that may change at different stages.Fungal candida results from antibiotic use, and antibiotics are heavily used in Lyme’s. The presence of fungal candida will normally precede and Lyme’s infection. In either case, the real culprit is the loss of immunotolerance or balance.   [End]

        Almost all tests are only good as an indication, not absolute proof. A stool test is only most accurate for the lower large intestine, not the rest of the body. A blood test is mostly accurate for the blood. This is one reason that I advocate doing 2-3 tests, plus signs and symptoms, case history, history of antibiotic use, etc to determine whether or not someone has fungal candida. Resrachers will use antibiotics in a lab to create fungal candida, as they know it’s a sure way to create it and observe it. That’s why I say that past antibiotic use is the best indicator.

      Both products can work indirectly with that issue.

      You can try reduced dosages of the NAC. It sounds like your body is trying to detoxify whatever is present in the tissues. That can be done slowly or quickly depending on how your body responds. A good heavy metal protocol will probably be helpful. I recommend NDF for heavy metals.   [End]

      It’s probably a little more complex than that. No die-off could signal a weaker immune system response, better ability to detoxify, or no effect, with other possibilities not excluded.

  • Rosacea by hannasbddy   27 days  139
     
    Hi Dr. McCombs, I have a pretty bad case of rosacea, it’s on my cheeks, chin, and forehead with papules. I’ve tried coconut oil on my face, which didn’t help very much. I’ve also tried the Rosacea Cream from your website, it helped at first, but my rosacea just keeps getting worse. I’m on your plan, but anything you recommend to use on my face? ... ... Thanks!!   [End]
    • Re: Rosacea by Dr.Jeff   26 days  111
       
      With skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, and posriasis, low HCL levels in the stomach are usually present. The Plan helps to raise these levels naturally, but you should probably supplement with HCL for faster results. Follow the HCL Protocol for determining how much HCL to use.   [End]

    • Re: Apple cider vinegar by Dr.Jeff   28 days  162
       
      During the first 8 weeks of the Plan, I don’t recommend vinegar. In Week 9, it’s okay. Have you tried HCL supplements?   [End]

    • Re: Questions on Fruit and Carbs.. by Dr.Jeff   28 days  142
       
      No, you should be getting enough carbs without eating the fruit. You may want to look at implementing the Blood Sugar protocol to help handle any carb intolerance or blood sugar regulation issues that may be present.   [End]

    • Re: supplements by Dr.Jeff   29 days  141
       
      I don’t understand why it would have a better effect, unless it’s from combining the alkaloids with the other ingredients? The sorbitol is from GMO corn. The rest of the ingredients don’t seem to be that special. The extra ingredients/excipients seem pretty bad. It does designate which form of B12, cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamine. ... It doesn’t state how much sweetener is in the tablets. It may or may not be okay during the first 8 weeks, but should be okay after that.   [End]
  • Cooking Onions in Olive Oil by #171681   30 days  328
     
    I am not a fan of raw onions, but love to cut up onions and cook them in olive oil with some garlic and salt...essentially caramelizing them without the added sugar. ... ... Is it okay that I cook onions this way while on your Candida Plan? I have read conflicting reports that cooking onions can actually create a chemical reaction where sugar is created...other reports say that is not true. ... ... Insight Dr. McCombs...?   [End]
    • Re: Cooking Onions in Olive Oil by Dr.Jeff   29 days  168
       
      There are sugars in all fruits and veggies. The amount in onions is not that great, plus onions have can have an anti-inflammatory effect. I think they should be okay. Everything in moderation, is a good idea to follow. If you’re craving them, that may not be a good sign.   [End]
  • Blood Sugar/Panic Attacks by hannasbddy   30 days  119
     
    Hi Dr. Jeff, ... ... I’m on your plan and on the blood sugar protocol. Recently my blood sugar has had more problems. When food empties from my stomach, I get panic attacks even if I start eating again. It started the other night at dinner and now seems to happen with each meal. I’m thinking it’s blood sugar. ... ... Is is true that with each low blood sugar event, your blood sugar can reach new lows? ... ... Anything you recommend? I ordered Chomemate and should get that soon. I can’t take the Basic Amino Acid supplement because of glutamine and my w/d from Valium. ... ... Thanks!!   [retrieve this message]
    • Re: Blood Sugar/Panic Attacks by Dr.Jeff   29 days  131
       
      Let me know how the Chromate works for you. It may not be related to blood sugar. I’ve never heard that each blood sugar event can be worse than the previous one. You could try taking a supplement with a fair amount of Trypsin in it, like a pancreatin formula (Digestive enzymes).   [End]
  • Candida Plan and Fruit by cb0003   30 days  153
     
    Hi Dr. Jeff, ... ... I’ve been on the candida plan for 3 weeks and adhere to the plan fully. However, I’ve eaten fruit with other foods such as the brown rice cereal in the morning. Should I only eat fruit alone? If so, have I caused any issues by eating fruit with other foods? ... ... Thanks, ... CB   [End]
    • Re: Candida Plan and Fruit by Dr.Jeff   30 days  158
       
      It will all depend on how well your body handles the combo. For some people, it’s not a problem.   [End]
  • Dr Jeff, is this candida or something else?!?!? by Wild0ne   31 days  177
     
    I have had symptoms of AF for the past year or so. The past month I have experienced spurts of brain fog/lethargy/spacy feeling. My diet has become very limited. It seems my body cannot tolerate any carbs (sugars/starches). Whenever I eat any carbohydrates, within seconds-minutes I experience a myriad of symptoms including: Bloating, abdominal pain, foul/toxic smelling flatulence, palpitations, itchy eyes/allergies, acute anger, and extreme insomnia. It only takes a very very small amount of carbs to activate these symptoms immediately. For example, a few stalks of asparagus is all it tak ...   [retrieve this message]

    • Re: hi dr.jeff about amylase enzyme by Dr.Jeff   31 days  132
       
      Those enzymes will be fine. The function of pancreatic enzymes takes place in the small intestine and people for decades have found benefit in their use, and continue to do so. If you want to maximize their effect taking them before a meal is usuallu suggested. If you just focus on the use of HCL, this will naturally lead to greater release of pancreatic enzymes from the pancreas.   [End]
  • Question on HCL & coconut oil for bloodsugar during the plan by LBP   31 days  128
     
    Hi Dr. Jeff, ... ... There’s an HCL product that I’ve been using and liking called ZYPAN from standard process. I’m sure you’re familiar with them. The only problem I see is, the ’other ingredients’ in this product are Cellulose, lactose, and calcium stearate. Standard process often adds little extras, that would seem to be an issue, like lactose, or honey, often. Great formulas; but I dont know if it’s ok for me to use with the plan. I like that they are HCl ’tablets’ that dissolve immediately. I sometimes feel I get more of an effect from these than thornes HCL capsules. I suppose these tabl ...   [retrieve this message]
  • hi dr.jeff about candida force by cdog   31 days  140
     
    so you said candida force is best taking on empty stomach but I have low stomach and I am taking digestive enzymes will they help break down foods in my stomach so it can be empty how long does the stomach empty out so I can take the candida force sometimes im not sure if my stomach is emptying out properly   [End]
    • Re: hi dr.jeff about candida force by Dr.Jeff   31 days  134
       
      You could take it farther from a meal if your digestion is slow. Taking HCL supplementation can help with low stomach acid. Most people start to see HCL levels increase with the Plan, so it may not be an issue.   [End]
  • About alcohol in liquids extract by cdog   31 days  142
     
    So milk thistle will be ok it has alcohol not really a lot I was confused people said alcohol feeds candida and how to best take liquids extracts will it still be absorb by my body in the small intestine even if I have candida   [End]
  • hi dr.jeff about candida by cdog   31 days  144
     
    can I use milk thistle liquid for my liver on the plan the liquid has a little alcohol will it feed the candida and will the liquid still get absorb even if I have candida in the intestines and whats the best way to take liquid extracts so it could really get absorb   [End]
    • Re: hi dr.jeff about candida by Dr.Jeff   31 days  139
       
      That willbe okay on the Plan. I would think taking it along with starches works best. It can also depend on the herbs being used.   [End]
