Candida Program

CANDIDA PROGRAM-Digestive Rebalancing & Detox

This program is to be done under the direction of your prescribing Naturopathic Doctor.

Directions Products 1,2 &3

1. Caprol – 2 teaspoons
2. Bentonite- 1 tablespoon
3. Herbal bulk fiber ( Genestra) ( or Psyllium ) – 1 teaspoon

Combine all above ingredients in a jar, screw on lid and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
Drink immediately. Take 1/2 hour before breakfast ( on an empty stomach)
Also drink 6-8 glasses of liquid daily to keep the fiber or psyllium moving throughout
the digestive tract easily.
Take 2 hours away from other medication as the fiber may change their absorption rates.

Note – for those that are sensivtive begin the above program with
half the dose of all the above ingrdients for 1 week then increase
to the full dose

What is Candida?

Your digestive system is composed of healthy ” good bacteria” and other micro organisms including
Candida. Your optimal health depends on a balance of all of these. When you are exposed to
antibiotics, certain medications, stress, poor diet choices ( such as excess sugar, over
processed foods, low fiber foods, highly refined carbohydrates, large amounts of red meat
dairy products and excess wheat) the good bacterai are reduced in number allowing
micro organisms such as Candida to over grow.

These micro organisms produce gas and toxic by- products which irritate the wall of the large
intestine and along with other factors of declining health, weaken it and may cause
it to balloon out into tiny sacs called diverticuli. These diverticuli cause stagnation
and poor digestion. It is estimated that 80% of the population over 40 has
diverticuli. Also over the years the faulty diet leads to the walls of the intestine
to become coated with a thick layer of mucus and impacted food.
Thus it is extremely important to one’s health to work towards rebalancing
digestive health.

This shift also reduces the body’s capacity to digest in general as the good bacteria
to facilitate digestion.

The Symptoms one may experience of Candida and Faulty Digestion:

* allergies and or sensitivities to foods
* allergies and or sensitivies to the environment
*fatigue
*poor digestion-bloating, gas, heartburn
* poor memory or concentration-”brain fog”
*sugar cravings
*dizziness
*mood changes
*hormonal irregularity-PMS, infertility
*vaginal infections
* prostatitis
*urinary tract infections
*post nasal drip
*cough
*reduced immunity-colds, flus, sore throat
* athlete’s foot
*skin rashes-eczema, psoriasis
*cold extremeties
*arthritis like symptoms

Product Details

Caprol-liquid capryllic acid mixed in olive oil, it has a coating action on the intestinal wall
In a liquid form it creates a gel like fluid when combined with the fiber and thus releases
its action throughout the entire length of the intestinal tract allowing its antimicrobial ( yeast)
action.

Psyllium or Herbal Bulk Fiber ( Genestra) -forms a gel which acts like a toothbrush
cleaning the intestinal lining, it also reduces toxic overload ( the potential ” die off ” reaction
by absorbing toxins released by dying Candida. The fiber foms the gel which binds
caprol into a time released form ( taking caprol alone would result in very little
anti-Candida activity since most of the caprylic acid will leave the intestinal tract quickly.
It is very important while using psyllium to use a product that contains both the seeds
and husks. The seeds compliment the husk laxative effect by adding a cleansing property

Bentonite- its absobant action helps to eliminate the Candida breeding ground by attracting
and removing toxic material. The absorbant action reduces the toxic overload ( “die off” reaction)
by removing toxins released by dying Candida.

What are HSMs?

Homeostatic Soil Micro-Organisms are highly specialized soil-based organisms that possess powerful health benefits when ingested by humans. They play a vital role in the cyclical ecosystem of healthy soil. HSMs engulf the mould, fungi, and putrefactive bacteria in rotting plant matter. They then transform this waste into nutrients and growth promoting hormones, which they release into the soil to fertilize new plant growth.
What are the Therapeutic Benefits of HSMs?
HSMs improve colon health, immunity, digestion and assimilation, and increase antioxidant levels (super oxide dismutase in particular). They temporarily colonize the intestinal walls, for as long as they are consumed.
Shelf Life
The beneficial cultures (incl HSMs) in SBX remain dormant until they come in contact with moisture in the intestinal tract. The formula has a five-year shelf life and does not require refrigeration.
Candida and SBX
SBX formula can be extremely beneficial to those suffering from Candida by enhancing immune function, (speeding recovery from the illness). The SBX also helps to restore intestinal health, iron levels, optimum nutrient assimilation, and cellular antioxidant levels.
This formula’s most crucial Candida-related benefit lies in its fortification of immune function; Candida related illness is almost always linked to immune weakness.
Candida overgrowth can quickly undermine intestinal as well as immune health. It interferes with efficient digestion and therefore contributes to a build-up of waste in the colon and along the intestinal walls. Putrefactive bacteria and other pathogenic wastes accumulate. Candida and the overall putrefactive environment can even cause damage to the intestinal lining (i.e. leaky gut syndrome).
The HSMs in the SBX formula aid digestion, support intestinal detoxification, control pathogenic organisms, and can even help heal the sensitive intestinal lining. In fact, this formula appears to be well suited to meet most of the recovery challenges posed by Candida -related illness.

THE DIET:

Candida thrive on refined, over processed, low fiber foods especially sugars.
FOODS TO AVOID:

Sugars:

Sugar and rapidly acting carbohydrates (corn syrup, honey, dextrose, glucose, fructose, molasses, maple syrup, malt and sorbitol)
Fruit juices, dried fruit and candied fruit
Fruit ( limit to max <1/day or none)
Chocolate, Candies
Vegetables with a high glycemic index http://www.optihealth.ca/for-patients/handouts/food-intolerance-handouts/glycemic-index/ – reduce carrots, parsnips, potatoes, beets
Malted drinks except live yogurt (dairy products contain lactose – milk sugar)

Breads & Baking that contain baker’s yeast ( use sour dough or soda bread recipes instead http://www.optihealth.ca/resources/recipes/breads/)
Cheeses (especially the riper, aged cheeses, sour cream, buttermilk)
Edible fungi (mushrooms, morels, truffles)
Leftovers : After 2-3 days will build up yeast and mold

Fermented Foods:

Vinegar , cider drinks ( use lemon and limes instead) breads, pastries, and raised bakery goods. Also flour enriched with vitamins from yeast Coffee and tea (black and herbal) are a source of molds.
Alcohol
Tofu, tempeh, miso (fermented bean products)

Additional Tips:

Antibiotics and Steroid Medications ( ie Birth Control Pill ) will promote candida growth.
Exercise regularly and allow adequate time for sleep while on the program as you may be more suseptible to a cold or flu while detoxing.

The Die-Off:

You may wish to take the program a second time each day( also on an empty stomach- 1/2 hour before a meal or 2 hours after a meal ) to speed up your recovery.
It is important to note that while doing the Candida Program you may experiencethe ” die-off” or ( Herxheimer) reaction. When a large number of Candida are killed off during the initial period of
treatment a great amount of toxic material is suddenly released. This can produce certain uncomfortable effects such as

flu like symptoms ( ie stuffiness, headaches, general aches, diarrhea),or others including: skin rashes,

vaginal irritation/discharge, or even possibly numbess in the legs or mental confusion.

This die-off reaction can last from one day to no longer than a week. If you experience any of these please alert your

prescribing Naturopathic Doctor. If symptoms are severe, it may be necessary to cut back the amount of the Caprol which

is added to the Candida Purge mixture from 2 tsp to 1/4 tsp or even less. When the symptoms subside, gradually increase by

1/4 tsp per day , over the next few weeks until you reach the recommended level of 2 teaspoons per day and maintain.
