A question about suppliments

[Guest guest]

This note is from my mom who suffers sever candida... please let me

know your thoughts on her suppliments and medications, thanks:

Below is the list of medications and supplements Lorriane

requested. Let me know if I should not be taking PepZin GI and Alka-

Aid with the anti-fungal medications. I believe it's OK to take them

two hours away from the Ketoconazole and Nystatin.

Thanks for helping me. Love YOU, Mom

> MEDICATIONS July 10, 2008

> ANTI-FUNGAL: (For Yeast Infection)

> Ketoconazole – 200 MG (Finished July 10, 2008)

==>Lorraine (via your daughter), since you've finished Ketoconazole

please do not take it again. It is extremely hard on the liver,

whereas natural antifungals aren't.

> Nystatin – 500,000 Units (Begin July 12, 2008) One - Twice a day

==>Nystatin is okay, but it isn't the best antifungal, however some

people find it more convenient. Ensure you have the one that isn't

used topically which contains talcum powdeer and that it doesn't

contain any sugars.

==>I recommend you start with coconut oil as an antifungal before you

start on the Nystatin. Coconut oil also provides so many other

health benefits and it is a very important fat for the body; see

these articles:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu3_3_2.php

==>Start with small amounts of coconut oil and gradually increase

them every 5-7 days to minimize healing/die-off reactions per my

article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " ;

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu2.php

>

> VITAMINS:

> B 12 Shots – Once a week (Fridays)

==>That's okay but you must take the other B vitamins so the B12

shots don't throw off B vitamin balances; see my article and

supplements lists for details about taking B vitamins, along with

ensuring you take " true " niacin.

> C – 500 mg – Twice a day

==>You should increase your doses gradually up to 4,000 mg per day

per my articles and supplements list.

> D – with K – Once a day – (D3 –2000 IU & K – 200 mcg)

> E – 200 IU – Once a day

==>You can use 200 IU twice a day.

> Zinc – 50 MG – Once a day

==>Zinc is only required in trace amounts by the body, so unless you

are taking it for a specific reason you shouldn't, and even then you

should stop taking it 2 days every month or more to allow your body

to balance itself. Instead get all of your trace minerals the way I

recommend by having 1 1/2 tsp. ocean sea salt per day in my

Electrolyte Drink and/or on foods after they are cooked. It provides

over 84 minerals including sodium and chloride which are 2 of 7

macrominerals required by the body in amounts over 200 mg per day.

Also drink a good mineralized water per my article above.

>

> Super Omega 3 EPA/DHA from Life Extensions

> Wild Fish Oil – 2000mg

> EPA – 700mg

>

> Polyphen Oil – Olive & Fruit Extract – 300mg

==>This should not be taken; fruits feed candida.

> Other Omega 3 Fatty Acids – 100mg

==>What form is this supplement? You may not require it in an case.

You can take up to 3,000 mg, or even more, per day of omega 3 in the

form of EPA & DHA from fish oils only.

> Intestinal Repair Veggie Caps

Sprinkle a small amount on Brown Rice cereal.

==>All grains are not on the candida diet for reasons explained in my

article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " . Also on this program

you wouldn't require any kin of intestinal repair since the

high " good " fats are most important for the intestines since they

strengthen them, help movement, and reconstruct all of the body's

cell membranes with saturated fats (which should be 50%; except lung

cells require 100%); of course everything works together so

even " good " fats won't work without omega 3, vitamins A & D,

proteins, minerals, etc.

>

> PepZin GI – (Zinc – 8mg & Zinc – L - Carnosine 37.5), 6 Times a day

==>You shouldn't take this product; you will definitely throw off

mineral balances by taking so much zinc. To improve digestion take

Betaine Hydrochloric Acid supplements and do other things recommended

in my main article noted above.

>

> Alka-Aid Sodium from Sodium Bicarbonate – 200mg

==>You shouldn't take this. Sodium bicarbonate is antifungal and it

is also high in sodium which throws off mineral balances. Only take

baking soda to help an upset stomach (1/4 tsp. in water). However

the sodium in ocean sea salt also contains chloride, and many trace

minerals.

>

> Potassium from Potassium Bicarbonate – 140mg

==>You get plenty of potassium in this diet, tea, ocean sea salt,

good mineralized water, particularly found in vegetables. It is

actually dangerous for some people take potassium supplements.

==>It is absolutely essential you also take calcium and magnesium,

which are not available in the candida diet, since the best source is

dairy products. See my main article and supplements lists for

details.

>

> Acidophilus Pearls – 6 Times a day

==>Taking probiotics is the last step of the program, and I don't

believe Pearls are a proper product. It should be non-dairy and

follow what I wrote in my main candida article.

==>It is best to follow the candida program step by step with diet

and supplements first, along with coconut oil. After you can take 6

tbl. of coconut oil per day without having severe die-off/healing

reactions you can add 1 other antifungal I recommend (it can be

Nystatin if you wish), and so on.

The only way to cure candida is to build up the immune system so it

becomes strong enough to " make " candida change back into the nice

friendly organism it is supposed to be in the body. It cannot be

just " killed off " like many doctors believe. That is why the diet

and supplements I recommend work so good; and it all works together

so nothing should be left out, and no other supplements should be

taken. If you give your body the nutrients it requires, eliminate

toxins and foods that feed candida you could get well on the diet and

supplements alone (including coconut oil of course).

The best in health,
