Hi ,

Here is the protocol recommended by rockwellnutrition.com. Their website

has a lot of valuable health information and some really good supplements.

You can email them with questions and they will help you choose supplements

to fit your symptoms. I'll check my other computer to see if I have another

protocol they recommend.

CHRONIC CANDIDIASIS

What is Candidiasis?

Candida albicans is a form of fungus or yeast that is found naturally in

many parts of the healthy body, especially in the digestive tract. Usually

levels of Candida are controlled by microbes or other substances which

co-exist in the digestive tract.

Everyone has small amount of yeast and other negative microorganisms in the

intestinal area which are basically harmless.

However, when the immune system and other defense capabilities are

compromised or biologically armed, these microorganisms can multiply very

quickly and will interfere with digestion and elimination. If they continue

to grow year after year, these parasites, along with the toxins they produce

every day, can enter the bloodstream and travel to other tissue where they

can weaken the body.

When this overgrowth becomes chronic or excessive, its contribution to

disease can be overwhelming.

The ³yeast syndrome² is characterized by patients saying they ³feel sick all

over². Fatigue, allergies, immune system malfunction, depression, chemical

sensitivity, and digestive disturbances are just some of the symptoms

patients with the yeast syndrome may experience. Many people have Candida

overgrowth or candidiasis without knowing it

What are the Symptoms?

Symptoms of Candidiasis or Candida overgrowth can include the following,

depending on severity:

Fatigue and lethargy

Recurring yeast infections like thrush, athletes foot, fungal nail

infections, etc

Recurring UTI infections, allergies, sinus problems, asthma and chronic

chest congestion

Abdominal bloating, gas, indigestion, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea or

mucus in the stool

Eye fatigue and recurring inflammation of the eye

Depression, anxiety, mood swings, panic attacks, poor concentration and

memory or headaches

Muscle weakness and joint pain or swelling and fever

Dry mouth and tongue or cracked tongue, swollen face

Itchy skin, especially of the anus and other damp places of the body.

Sugar and carbohydrate cravings

Candida is known to release over 79 different types of toxins into the

system, resulting in the symptoms above.

What Causes Candida Overgrowth?

A common cause of Candida is antibiotic use and overuse. Antibiotics can

result in Candida overgrowth because, along with the bad bacteria they are

killing, they also kill off the 'friendly' micro-organisms or probiotic

flora in the intestines, vagina, and whole body (Thrush). These good

bacteria are responsible for controlling Candida levels.

Common Causes:

Antibiotics, antacids, anti-ulcer medications and steroids/cortisones

Alcohol

Diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrates

Antibiotics

Hormonal imbalance

Birth control pills

Stress

Intestinal parasites and worms

Compromised immune function

Take the Candida Questionnaire and Score Assessment

SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM & Recommendations for Chronic Candida

Following are some products that have been really helpful in helping clients

with Candida overgrowth:

Colon Guard & Alli-Cinn by Pharmax

Yeast Arrest Boric Acid (optional): Vaginal suppositories for chronic yeast

infections.

HLC Intensive caps (probiotics) and HLC Synbiotic packets

HLC CandaClear probiotic suppositories (follow up to Yeast Arrest for yeast

infections)

Intestinal Purifier by Pharmax

Echinacea Complex by Pharmax or AHCC by QOL Labs

1 & 2) Yeast Killing Phase: First, it¹s important to kill off the yeast and

bad bacteria causing the infection by using:

Colon Guard: (Day 1-30) 1 capsule twice daily with a meal for 2 weeks, then

1 per day for 2 weeks. (aggressive yeast killer to be used no longer than 1

month)

Yeast Arrest Suppositories: (Day 1-14) 1-2 per day for 7-14 days and then as

needed (i.e. 2 days during end of menstrual cycle).

Alli-Cinn: (Day 30-365) 1 capsule twice daily with a meal after finishing 1

month of Colon Guard. (Maintenance yeast killer to be used indefinitely).

3) You must use probiotics during this yeast killing phase to start

replenishing the beneficial bacteria in the GI as well as to prevent further

overgrowth of pathogenic strains which have been found to overgrow during

antimicrobial therapy. (Duration: 1-6 months+)

A). HLC Intensive capsules: (Day 1-10): 1 cap three times daily after meals

for 10 days

Then,

. HLC Synbiotic: (Day 11-18) 1 packet daily before bed (or 1Ž2 packet twice

daily after meals). Can be mixed in water or taken right off the spoon for

7-14 days. HLC Synbiotic packets are the highest potency probiotic plus

prebiotic (FOS) product and contain a minimum of 130 billion total L.

acidophilus (two strains), B. bifidum and lactis, and L. salivarius in each

packet. After 10 days of HLC Intensive capsules, the GI is ready for FOS

which will feed the beneficial bacteria and help re-colonize teh GI. Each

of the five different strains will attach in different areas of the

epithelial tissue in the intestinal tract (small and large intestines). This

probiotic is a microbial replacement program for the gastrointestinal tract

intended for 7 to 14 days depending on the severity of the problem.

C). HLC High Potency Powder or Capsules: (Day 19-365) Maintenence dose

probiotics to be taken indefinitely.

Depending on if you prefer powder or capsules, choose between these two:

HLC High Potency Powder: 1/4-1/2 tsp twice daily after meals or 1 tsp before

bed

OR

HLC High Potency caps: 2 capsules twice daily after meals.

4) Replenish good flora in your vagina after the killing phase using the

Yeast Arrest Boric Acid suppositories. HLC CandaClear suppositories contain

special strains of probiotics which exist in a healthy vagina and need to

regrow to keep down yeast and immune system of the vagina.

HLC CandaClear suppositories: (Day 14-20) Insert 1 each night before bed for

6-12 days (as a follow up to Yeast Arrest suppositories). Then, use as

needed (i.e. 2 days a month prior to or after period or when flare up is

likely)

5) Bind and Remove Toxins: during the yeast killing phase of month 1, you

need to bind the released toxins and excrete them from your body. We

suggest:

Intestinal Purifier by Pharmax: one serving daily and/or

PaleoGreens by DFH: 1 Tablespoon daily

And a fiber rich diet with lots of green vegetables & salads.

6) Strengthen Immune Function: Restoring proper Immune Function is one of

the key goals in treatment and long term prevention of Candidiasis. These

supplements offer immune support:

Echinacea Complex by Pharmax - 2 per day (3 weeks on, stop 1 week)

AHCC ImmunoKinoko by QOL Labs - 1 per day

Take the Candida Questionnaire and Score Assessment

The ANTI-CANDIDA DIET

Diet is extremely important when dealing with Candida. A number of dietary

factors appear to promote the growth of Candida. The most important factors

are a high intake of sugar (table sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup, corn

syrup, candy, soft drinks, fruit (except cranberries and lemons) , milk and

other dietary products, foods containing yeast such as flour products.

NO SUGAR:

Sugar is the chief food source for Candida Albicans. It is well accepted

that restriction of sugar intake is an absolute necessity in the treatment

of chronic candidiasis. Limitation of refined carbohydrates is also a good

idea (bread, pasta, cereal, foods made with flour) since they can also feed

yeast.

NO MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS:

There are several reasons to restrict or eliminate the intake of milk.

The high lactose content promotes the overgrowth of Candida

Milk is one the most frequent food allergens

Milk may contain trace levels of antibiotics which can further disrupt the

GI bacterial flora and promote Candida Overgrowth.

NO MOLD AND YEAST- CONTAINING FOOD:

Patients with chronic candidiasis should avoid foods with a high content of

yeast or mold, including alcoholic beverages, cheeses, dried fruits and

peanuts.

Check for food allergies and Sensitivities:

Check for food allergies or food sensitivities since they are very common in

patients with yeast syndrome. The symptoms of a food sensitivity may be so

subtle that you do not know you have it. We recommend you have an IgG food

allergy test done from ImmunoLabs and eliminate any food which shows up

positive for 3-6 months.
