Candida is always in your body - it's the overgrowth that causes problems.

You might want to supplement with biotin - biotin stops yeast cells from

taking on different forms that makes it harder for the body to kill

naturally. I'm taking 600 mcg/day, but some go as high as 5 mg in divided

doses throughout the day. It has worked really well for me as well as my

4yo.

Candida is a normal inhabitant of the GI tract. So it will never be 100%

gone. In fact, I have read it serves some good purpose when it is merely

part of the whole community of GI flora. Can't remember the source for

that, but there must be some reason all humans apparently have some

level of candida in the gut.

If you are susceptible to candida overgrowth, it will always come back

to problem levels if you feed it what it loves. Thus you went back to

your old diet and the candida blossomed up to a problem level again.

You can never rid your body completely of candida because it's normally there.

What you are trying to do is keep it in balance and fight back from overgrowth.

In addition to being prone for candida overgrowth, you may just have a body type

that does better on low carb. I know this is the case for me.

One of the big reasons for candida overgrowth that keeps returning is heavy

metal toxicity, especially mercury. If you'd like to learn more, buy No

Amalgam book by Andy Cutler. He's a PhD from Harvard that had to go through

this. There is extensive study and research that went through this.

http://www.noamalgam.com/

There's also a chelation group that uses his protocol to eliminate

mercury and other toxic metals. This is one of them:

frequent-dose-chelation

I just had my 4yo son's hair tested for metals, and it did show high mercury

and other metals. He did have candida issues that I addressed.

If you do decide to get your hair tested, then buy Cutler's book on

analyzing the test. I'm about to buy it as I didn't really expect anything

to show up on his hair test.

I use coconut oil for my mouth when I get an over-growth. I'm certified for

biological testing of ionization and when I have a high saliva pH the Candida is

out of control. Coconut oil has been great to get the Candida back under

control, as well as cutting back on sugars and starches for a while and increase

my water intake. I've used colloidal silver in the past too.

This has also been my experience - that eating fruit has caused me to relapse.

Sigh.

Two big reasons mercury remains an issue in people are:

1) not enough glutathione precursors (whey and selenium) to get the

toxin out naturally.

2) carbs and beans in the diet. Beans contain two sugars that feed

specific bacteria that exude sulfides that can fix bacteria destined

for purging back into the bowel lining.

Please allow me to correct the following; here's the new version:

2) carbs and beans in the diet. Beans contain two sugars that feed

specific bacteria that exude sulfides that can fix MERCURY destined

for purging back into the bowel lining.

What is the brand of coconut oil? How do you take it? How much?

How often? For how long a period of time?

Thanks so much!
