[Guest guest]

Crystal - below, when we stop for 4 day, is that both medications and

then re-start both medications again? Or, do we just re-start the

metronidazole? - Thanks, Abby

Judy- Agave feeds candida. There are two sweeteners that do not. Stevia is the well known one, and luo han guo from China is the other. I just finished a candida treatment per Dr McCandless's Protocol, and used a sweetener containing luo han guo called Lakanto (http://shop.bodyecology.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BE021). It is costly, but well worth it!From: judyr12345 <jrudin@...>Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Re: Dr McCandless's Protocol for candida / Crystal - protocol questionlow dose naltrexone Date: Wednesday, August 27, 2008, 11:03
