Sometimes you have to make your own road to get where you want to go.
"A man should look for what is, and not what he thinks there should be." - Albert Einstein
"Don't let schooling interfere with your education." - Mark Twain
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe anything simply because it is found in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." - Buddha
"A single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." - Henry David Thoreau

21 Day Candida Cleanse

I decided to post this upon request of a few of my readers.
Herbs to take are as follows: Olive Leaf, Acidophilus, Caprylic Acid

When it comes to herbs, you usually get what you pay for, so try not to go the cheapo route. You want the most potent olive leaf you can get, the sustained release caprylic acid, and the enteric coated acidophilus. If you go to GNC or another vitamin/supplement shop, there should be a vitamin/herb professional who will be able to help you find these things and can tell you which brands are going to give you the best bang for your buck. I might add that you will probably not be able to find caprylic acid on a shelf. You can order it online however. Check out the Vitamins and Supplements link under My Fave Links in the left hand column of my blog.

  • Nothing but water to drink for the full 21 days, and drink LOTS of it.
  • No sugar if possible. If you must sweeten something, use either raw honey or raw unrefined sugar and use it sparingly. Sugar is what feeds the candida.
  • No white bread at all. Only whole wheat bread, but try to avoid yeast foods if possible.
  • Eat as many raw fruits and veggies as possible during the cleanse, but don’t overdue it on the fruits. It’s best to balance your fruits and veggie intake.
  • Only lean meats that are  grilled or baked. No fried foods.
  • Take herbs with food and a large glass of water.
  • Get at least 20 minutes of direct sun per day without sunblock, and exercise to move the lymphatic system.
Expect to have loose frequent bowel movements and MINOR stomach upset. If major upset stomach occurs or you get the Herxheimer reaction, cut back on herb intake by 1 at each time of day and increase it slowly. But don't worry, this reaction is normal when your body is trying to rid itself of toxins from the candida. You will likely feel bad before you feel great. How bad you feel is going to depend on how much the candida has over grown.



Day 1-5         Morning- 1 olive leaf, 1 caprylic acid, 1 acidophilus

                       Noon- ditto

                       Night- ditto

Day 6-10      Morning- 2 olive leaf, 2 caprylic acid, 1 acidophilus

                       Noon- ditto

                       Night- 2 olive leaf, 1 caprylic acid, 2 acidophilus

Day 11-16    Morning- 3 olive leaf, 2 caprylic acid, 2 acidophilus

                       Noon- ditto

                       Night- 2 olive leaf, 2 caprylic acid, 2 acidophilus

Day 17-21    Morning- 3 olive leaf, 3 caprylic acid, 3 acidophilus

                       Noon- ditto

                       Night- 3 olive leaf, 3 caprylic acid, 4 acidophilus



After the cleanse, keep taking 1 olive leaf and 1 acidophilus a day as maintenance, throwing in an occasional caprylic acid to keep the candida from overgrowing again.Typically by the end of the cleanse, people crave a lot of water all the time. Don’t hesitate to feed your craving. Drink up! Water is good for you!

Cheers to your health!
