"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."
Five Steps to Candida Elimination:
1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.
2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]
3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]
4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]
5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]

Lymetoo, why cant I respond to the first yeast link that you posted.
It just brings me back to the forum main page.
Does this make sense?

I also have a systemic yeast infection.
our approach: reduce the yeast before starting antibiotics. It is working
VERY restricted diet (I have lots of food allergies) for 6 weeks and 4 weeks on diflucan and some other supplements (yeast detox, bio cleanse).
Other life saver, finding a personal chef to cook and freeze me tons of yeast safe foods.
I was eating the same things over and over again, not dining out-I was getting very depressed over food!
Now I have TONS of stuff in my freezer I can just take out and warm up (great when you are herxing and can't do anythig) and the quality is BETTER than restuarant.
I'm in jersey if you want his number

sysytemic means I think in more than one place. I had thrush, vag & intestional yeast with some other lyme like stmptoms.
I have been taking sporanox for almost 3 months now. The diflucan seemed to stopped working for me. Yeast can become resisitant just like bacteria. The diet helps alot but I needed a yeast fighter at this point along with the diet.
The sporanox is a broader spectrum anti-fungal. I haven't had any yeast problems for a while now since taking it. It is hard on the liver so should have frequent liver checks.
In the beginning it made me feel really good. Had alot of good days. Not so much now in the last month & 1/2 though. Not sure why. I also feel like it may been hitting some of the lyme as well. I was havng dermal herx's...particular to lyme only for me.
Hope this helps Dana
make sure to talk over everything first with your LLMD...none of the above is medical advice...just my 2 cents
