Supplements Confusion

[so not mandi]

Ok, so I have a question about the supplements I need to take to kill yeast:

I know I need Oil of Oregano to kill the yeast. Do I wait until it's dead to use the Acidophilus? How long does that take - how will I know if it's all dead?

When do I take the garlic?

Is anyone else taking any other Atkins supplements like B Complex, Vitamin C or Flax Seed Oil with the yeast stuff?

Please let me know... thanks!

Re: Supplements Confusion

okay slow down You will get the best answers in the Candida yeast health forum as those folk posting in there are the tried and try folk.

You want to take the Acidophilus which is the healthy bacteria for your intestines along with your treatment for the yeast issue cause you want to replace the yeast with the good stuff ASAP to help control the yeast issue faster.

Garlic is another natural antifungal. You can just eat some with your foods but count your carbs and get the same beneficial effects at a much lower cost.

Hope you get cleared up soon. Happy low carbing.

Mandi,

I found this in another post. This is what Becky Sue said. I'm planning on doing this as soon as I get everything I need. Good luck to you!


"What works for me is this.
I take in the morning, OoO, garlic, caprylic acid, then at lunch and supper meals, I take acidophlisis at both meals and then at bed time I take the same as mornings, OoO, garlic, caprylic acid. Plus I eat KISS way.

I am not an expert, let's hear from others on how they take their suppliments."

Re: Supplements Confusion

Thanks! That does help. I'm not sure what Caprylic acid is though.

Currently I'm doing:
Morning:
Low-Carb Balance Vitamins
OoO
Psyllium Husk Seeds
Omega-3
Stress-B
Vitamin-C (while I'm sick anyway)

Afternoon:
Acidophilus
Psyllium Husk Seeds

Evening:
OoO
Psyllium Husk Seeds
Omega-3
Stress-B
Vitamin-C (while I'm sick anyway)

But I just feel like I'm taking so many pills, I'm worried I'm taking too much! But those are the doses on the bottles.

Re: Supplements Confusion

I wouldn't worry about taking "too much". I would worry about taking not enough. You need to be aggressive to kick this stuff. I'm taking so much in addition to what I take daily that I feel like a pill factory. But I'm gonna kick this!


I'm also following the KISS plan leaning toward the Gold Standard. I hope it helps. It's a huge change for me!

Good luck and keep us up to date on how you are doing.
