Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Candida
How accurate is the spit test?
Based on eight years of feedback from customers, our impression is that the spit test is at least as accurate as stool samples or blood tests. All tests occasionally show false negatives or give inaccurate readings. To achieve the most accurate results, take the spit test first thing in the morning after briefly rinsing your mouth (you may have breathed in mold or other environmental factors that could affect the outcome of the test).
As the candida level gradually improves, the spit test should also show improvement. As candida is targeted and removed from various parts of the body, the spit test may also vary, from clear to cloudy and back to clear again. At some point, the test should be consistently clear.
Can I take these supplements with my other medications?
Yes, the supplements are natural and safe and can be taken along with other medications.
Are there any side effects?
There are no harmful side effects. We do, however, suggest starting out with low dosages, gradually increasing over a period of a week or two. If you begin to experience tiredness, slight nausea or mild flu-like symptoms, cut back on the amount of products you are taking until the symptoms are gone. See below for more information on die-off symptoms...
I’ve been using these supplements for a few days -- why is my yeast infection worse?
When these supplements attack candida, the yeast begin to “fight back”. This activation can cause a “flare up”, temporarily making you feel worse before you feel better. The best thing to do in this case is to reduce the dosages, then gradually increase as you feel better.
What is the best way to take the CandiClear5?
The best way to drink CandiClear5 is in water -- one scoop, three times per day. Another possibility is to mix it in food, such as oatmeal or yogurt, or bake it into pancakes or bread. This may seem counter-intuitive, as carbohydrates generally feed candida. As the yeast becomes attracted to the carbs, the CandiClear5 has a chance to rid the body of more candida at one time.
What about the candida diet?
A special diet, alone, will probably never eliminate the candida -- the yeast will continue to feed upon whatever is available. A shift to eating foods that prevent the yeast from replicating so quickly will surely help prevent flare-ups. The diet could be as extreme as eating only protein and vegetables. Avoid “fast foods” and most “white” foods, especially refined flour, white rice and all refined sugars. Limit high-glycemic fruits, esp. bananas, kiwi fruit, papaya and pineapples. If you find you cannot limit the above-mentioned foods, try compensating by taking more anti-candida supplements (though you will certainly achieve faster results by altering your diet).
I have a serious case of candida overgrowth but I can’t afford to follow your staged approach. What should I do?
The staged protocols and combos we offer do a great job of restoring the body’s health and balance, keeping the yeast under control as small, manageable amounts in the intestinal tract. The candida is not likely to be completely eliminated with a minimal approach, but you could use just one or two of the products on an ongoing basis. Taking just the CandiClear5 for many months and eventually supplementing or replacing it with TotalFlora15 or Hemoxide could help keep the candida under control as well as kill other pathogens, improve circulation and protect the body from heart disease, etc.
I want to attack my candida overgrowth as vigorously as possible. What else can I do?
If your budget allows, we would suggest adding on two other supplements to the staged approach for candida.
Custom Elixir Y, when taken in high doses (3 bottles/month) is a vigorous candida killer, emitting subtle yet powerful energetic messages to the body, disrupting those of the yeast overgrowth. ($49.95/bottle)
OxyDHQ -- produces extra oxygen in the body, killing pathogens and acting as a powerful detoxifier. OxyDHQ increases circulation and can help regulate blood pressure. We suggest using 3 bottles per month ($69.95/bottle)
