I don't know I thought colloidal silver was for everything.
I know a doc told me garlic and probiotics are for Candida. I take raw garlic sliced and put them into capsules and swallow with lemon water in the mornings.

yes, Garlic definately works, too. I'm eating it with each meal, but I don't know if it's enough. Guess I need to be more patient.
I'm going to look more into the silver. I heard it doesn't kill the good bacteria, but will kill the bad and also Candida. Not very experienced with the silver, though.

mlg, have you tried the raw garlic w/out the capsules? Super easy. Just crush and slice as usual, put the garlic on the end of a spoon, take a large mouth full of water, and put the spoon in your mouth and swallow. Just make sure you have food on your stomach first.

To cure the Candida? It just seems like such a long process. Wondering how long these die.off issues will last. I guess it's a good sign I'm even having die off, though.
Just not sure if c. cleaning and skin brushing, lemon water etc. is enough to get the toxins out. I heard that if you don't eliminate the toxins good enough while you're killing it, that the yeast can "reseed". have you heard this?

Yeah right, DIET is the key......TO STARVING YOURSELF.
Don't take this "DIET" advice. I did, and it was the worst move I ever made.
I had a phone conversation with the seller of live silver, used in combo with food grade hydrogen peroxide as a candida remedy.
We had a discussion about following a candida diet in an attempt to "starve" candida.
He said, you can't "starve" candida. It doesn't work. The candida will survive no matter what.
I heartily agree. I tried an anti-candida diet for several months while taking an expensive anti-candida product. I lost so much weight, I thought I was going to die myself. The candida didn't subside in the least. With the resulting loss in nutrition, I would have died myself if I didn't stop the diet. I got some dieoff from the supplement, but it was not a powerful enough remedy to get rid of it completely.
Candida is conquered by clearing metals and other toxins, ridding the gut of parasites, healing the gut, and restoring a healthy flora. That's easier said than done. If you can do those things, you've essentially beaten Lyme because the gut is the immune system and restoring the immune system will take care of Lyme. There really isn't a magic bullet that can stop candida in a timely fashion.
By the way, colloidal silver puts borrelia into cyst form.
Anti-fungal pharmaceuticals are extremely rough on the liver, which is already taxed enough with Lyme.
Isn't this disease wonderful?
But whatever you do, don't try to starve candida with those inane "anti-candida" diets. You'll only make yourself sicker.

Well the diet I've been on I'm eating 20 % protein and 80% vegetables so I don't think I'll be starving myself. I also eat 1/2 cup sauerkraut with each meal because it's supposedly got a TON or probiotics --and the pills, even the expensive ones, just aren't cutting it.
That being said, I would like to speed things up a bit with colloidal silver and hydrogen peroxide. I was just reading about the 35% grade earlier today, and looks like you have to be *really* careful.
The thing that concerns me though, is that I was also reading that colloidal silver kills the good bacteria, so what to do.

There was just a thread on here about colloidal silver and how it helped someone recover from their lingering symptoms. One of the symptoms was the crawling sensation all over, that I have pretty bad.
So, I bought some and took it one day. I felt dizzy, hot/sweaty, and weird. Strangely, these are my remaining symptoms. Im not sure if it was hitting yeast or parasites or everything! I plan on restarting soon.

Lymies shouldn't be eating sugar anyway. But the rest of that candida diet is a little ridiculous.

For those of you taking garlic for yeast how much do you take? I ate two big cloves last week and had a die off reaction the next day. I think it must have been yeast cause I felt so tired and groggy the next day and it didn't feel the same as when I take abx.
I wonder if I should stick at this or take like a 1/2 -1 clove.

gigi I just crush a clove and put it with a meal, whatever I'm eating. It's probably about 2 cloves a day. If I feel like this is too much, I may back off for a day or so. It definately causes die off.

I got things under control with a fairly low carb diet, avoidance of the really sweet foods, but did frequently eat canned beans, frozen limas, and lentils cooked from dry, ate grains maybe once a week, along with MetaGenics "CandiBactin BR". I've tried many other anticandida type products, this one, at least for me, far and above any of the other ones.
That said, I had been working on, and continue to work on, heavy metals, biofilm, and parasites. And I do agree with chaps on the importance of addressing these issues as part of trying to address candida.
[Edited to clarify I ate beans frequently, and grains just rarely.]

I'm doing the low car, no gluten or casein and adding in colloidal silver for a couple of weeks and see what happens. One of my candida symptoms is crawly feeling in eyes. Put colloidal silver drops in both eyes past two days and no crawly feeling, so we'll see.

About to add in digestive enzymes, which Donna Gates, author of The Body Ecology diet says is a "must" if you have Candida.

I can tell you that I had a huge die off of something the very first day on 1/2 tspn. I could not stand up for long because of head and neck pressures and dizziness. Lying down helped immensely with these symptoms & I did not want to get up.
I also had explosive diarrhea within 2 hrs of taking CS for the very first time. After the first time my stools reverted back to normal gradually by day 2-3, as they were before starting. So I know CS hit "something". What it is exactly is anyone's guess.
