I’ve spoken with hundreds, if not thousands, of men and women over the last ten years, describing their lack of energy, inability to think clearly, onset of food allergies, decreased hormones and sex drive, recurring sinus infections, poor skin conditions, chronic poor digestion, acid reflux — the list goes on. These people had sought help from numerous doctors and alternative practitioners for years, often resulting in little to no improvement and, in some cases, worsening conditions.
Even those fortunate enough to speak with a doctor who recognized that candida overgrowth was the source of their problems, often had little success in getting better. Anti-fungal medications, probiotics, herbal supplementation and candida diets would temporarily bring their symptoms under control. Unfortunately, in almost every case, when the medications or diets decreased, the candida and it’s associated conditions immediately returned. Many people have told me they’ve spent thousands of dollars on medications and supplements, while at the same time eating a low-carbohydrate diet, only to find the symptoms returning in full force once they stopped the treatment.
The first thing you need to know, once you’ve determined that you DO have candida (easy self-test instructions below), is…
Getting rid of candida can be EXTREMELY challenging. Only a few candida sufferers have, over the years, told me that they were able to return to a healthy balance with ease. Once the yeast overgrowth has spread throughout your body, it becomes much more of a challenge to correct.
Candida yeast infections are not just a female issue, even though we commonly think of it this way. They become systemic infections when the friendly bacteria in your intestinal tract gradually, or rapidly, are destroyed by antibiotics, medications, birth control pills, drinking chlorinated water, stress and simply by growing up eating a Western diet. The candida yeast fungi, which are stronger than the beneficial bacteria, survive the antibiotics or stressful conditions, and begin to thrive.
Candida is supposed to make up a very small part of your intestinal flora, necessary and beneficial when in balance. As imbalances occur, the friendly bacteria becomes overtaken by candida yeast, exploding in a growth frenzy throughout the intestinal tract and, eventually, throughout the entire body.
Whether your symptoms are mild or overwhelming, depends upon how strong your immune system is, how long the candida overgrowth has existed, and the quality of your diet. Even mild cases can be a challenge to correct.
Symptoms of candida yeast overgrowth include:
Recurring vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush (accumulation at the back of the throat and white coated tongue), migraine headaches, sinus, ear or eye infections, toenail or skin fungus or rashes including jock itch, food allergies, brain fog, depression, just plain feeling whacked out and irritated, low sex drive, fatigue, low thyroid, low adrenals and more.
If you are not sure if you have candida yeast overgrowth, take this simple test:
It is very accurate, and won’t cost you a penny. My experience, from talking with literally thousands of people over the last ten years, is that this simple test is at least as accurate as blood tests and stool samples. Once you’ve taken it, you’ll know for sure if you have candida overgrowth and to what extent the overgrowth may be.
If you know you have candida overgrowth, and are looking for a way to get rid of it once and for all, skip down to the next section below.
How To Tell If You Have Candida – The Free and Accurate Candida Spit Test.
THE TEST: In the evening, put a clear glass of water by your bed. First thing in the morning, briefly rinse your mouth, swallow, then gather some saliva in your mouth and spit into the glass of water (be sure to spit out saliva, not mucus). Keep an eye on the water for half an hour — especially the first few minutes. If you have candida overgrowth, you will see one or more of the following:
1. Strings (legs) hanging down from the saliva.
2. Heavy-looking saliva at the bottom of the glass.
3. Cloudy specks suspended in the water.
If, within three minutes after spitting into the water, you see “strings” hanging down, cloudy specks showing up in the water, or “debris” sinking to the bottom, you most likely have extensive overgrowth, which will require more candida-fighting action on your part.
If it takes longer than a few minutes for anything to show up, the candida is not as serious.
If the saliva just floats on top and the water stays perfectly clear, you most likely don’t have candida overgrowth.
The logic behind the test is simple.
If you have candida overgrowth, it will show up in the saliva, a friendly environment for yeast. When you spit into the glass, the aerated saliva is lighter than water. However, candida is heavier than either. Whether it sinks as “legs”, falls to the bottom, or floats around in the water, all are indications of candida. The more you see, and the faster you see it, the more systemic the infection.
Candida concentrates in saliva overnight, so this test is most accurate first thing in the morning.
I suggest rinsing out your mouth first, because, if you happen to be sleeping in a room with mold, you may have mold in your mouth from the room, and that could show up in the saliva too.
Some people claim this test is not accurate, but that has not been my experience. Out of the thousands of times I’ve suggested that someone do the spit test, just to confirm that they had candida, only once did someone tell me that their test showed clear water and no debris, that they did not have candida, when it was obvious from all their symptoms that they had candida overgrowth. And….
Among the many who tested positive that I’ve spoken with, ALL have had candida symptoms.
I’ve heard more often, though still only rarely, from people who said their blood test or stool sample test was negative, even though they were clearly suffering, based on their symptoms and the spit test, from candida overgrowth. So this spit test is at least as accurate as expensive tests available from doctors.
Why It’s So Hard To Eliminate Candida Yeast Infections
To understand why getting rid of candida can be so much harder than knocking out a bacterial infection, you need to know how candida yeast overgrowth manifests in your body.
About 80% of the time, candida overgrowth occurs when antibiotics kill the friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract. Divided up about equally, are cases of candida overgrowth caused by candida spores being breathed in, transmitted orally through food sharing, kissing, or similar activities, and as babies picking it up from their mothers. Overgrowth cannot occur when the immune system is strong and the friendly flora (said to comprise 70% of the immune system response) are plentiful.
When much of your friendly flora have been destroyed, and your immune system has weakened, the oxygen-loving candida yeast begin to flourish, morphing into anaerobic candida fungi. No longer needing an oxygen-rich blood supply, the fungi are able to exist anywhere in the body.
Initially, these fungi are primarily in the intestinal tract. There, the toxic waste they chemically produce (acetylaldahyde, the same chemical that causes a hangover), irritates and weakens the intestinal wall. Candida fungi have tiny “legs” which, as the intestinal wall becomes damaged, are able to “drill” holes in the intestinal wall, leading to poor digestion and “leaky gut syndrome”.
These holes enable candida to travel throughout the body, over time establishing themselves systemically. The leaky gut also allows partially digested food to enter the bloodstream. This food is not able to be used by your cells, and your immune system must get rid of that food. Over time, people develop food allergies, a sure sign of candida overgrowth.
Candida yeast loves sugar, excreting chemicals that cause you to crave sugars and all types of carbohydrates. Of course, as the yeast digests the food sugars before your body can use them, your cravings may be caused by low blood sugar levels.
During the nighttime, when you are fasting, the candida have plenty of time to be consuming your blood sugar. To compensate for this lack of sugar, your adrenals have to work extra hard, eventually leading to adrenal fatigue. (The acetylaldahyde also causes fatigue.) The thyroid gland is linked with the adrenal glands. As the adrenal glands wear down, the thyroid gland also starts to perform poorly, leading to decreased temperature regulation and low metabolism.
Why Women Have So Much More Serious Candida Overgrowth Than Men
About 70% of all candida overgrowth occurs in women (if we consider the population of people over 15 years of age). As both men and women are equally exposed to antibiotics, this increase lies somewhat with the use of birth control pills, and primarily with candida’s fondness for progesterone.
Candida likes to eat progesterone. So what does it do?
Candida blocks estrogen receptors so that estrogen can’t lock into them, further disrupting the endocrine hormone by binding to estrogen, preventing it from being used properly by the body. Why does candida do this? Because estrogen and progesterone “teeter-totter” — low estrogen levels cause high progesterone levels. So by creating low estrogen levels in your body, candida causes progesterone levels to be elevated, providing more and more fuel for itself.
Women often have flare-ups coinciding with their period – a time when progesterone levels are higher. By the way, there are two types of estrogen — alpha estrogen produced by the female organs, and beta estrogen produced by the adrenal glands. Both men and women need and produce beta estrogen and not only are these estrogens inhibited by candida, but the adrenal fatigue caused by the candida overgrowth will result in even lower beta estrogen production.
So male hormones will suffer too, with low beta estrogen and low testosterone. These imbalances need to be corrected, but as men naturally produce much less progesterone than women, they do not supply such a readily available food source for the candida. Thus, out- of-control candida overgrowth affects many more women than men.
Candida Spores – The Main Reason Candida Overgrowth Is So Hard To Eliminate
There are lots of good candida killers: Anti-fungal drugs like Nystatin and Diflucan, herbs like Pau D’Arco, Olive Leaf Extract, Oregano Extract, Grapefruit Seed Extract, coconut-based aplitic acid. These all do an excellent job of killing candida.
So why is candida so hard to get rid of?
Candida fungi can mutate to become immune to both anti-fungal herbs as well as anti-fungal drugs. The more complex the anti-fungal herb or drug is, the easier Candida can mutate, rendering them no longer effective. Initially, the drug may kill a good portion of the candida, but this leaves an empty space which candida likes to rapidly refill.
But something else happens too. Actually, two things.
Every time anti-fungal herbs are taken, the yeast will go dormant to survive, burrowing deeply into the tissues where the drugs or herbs can’t reach — remember, they don’t need an oxygen supply in which to live. They can also go dormant and “hide” to avoid an activated immune system response.
So, initially, after taking high doses of nystatin or herbs, it may seem as though your candida infection is gone — when, in reality, it is not. Even the blood can appear free of Candida, as it lies wait in the tissues, sometimes even forming dense masses, which can’t easily be penetrated.
Secondly, when you attack candida, it is stimulated to release spores.The production of spores is how fungi and mold reproduce. Candida tend to fight back when they are being attacked, assuring their survival by releasing spores, which can lodge anywhere in body, awaiting just the right conditions to reactivate. They remain “dormant” so long as they sense the immune cells trying to attack. As spores, they tend to attract only a minor response from the immune system, dragging out the condition for years.
The typical scenario: You go on a strict candida diet and take lots of probiotics, boosting the immune system and noticing symptoms clearing up (though still plagued with food allergies.) Eventually, you stop taking your anti-candida supplements or drugs, go off the diet, and boom, in a relatively short while, the condition has returned.
Crushing Candida Overgrowth Has Just Gotten Easier
Until recently, I had come to the conclusion that beating candida required a hard hitting comprehensive program using many different supplements. Alternative clinics specializing in candida found that comprehensive programs produced the best results.
I knew that, at best, if you used a very good candida fighter like CandiClear5, which killed candida mechanically, you could, over the course of a year or so, get to the point where the candida was well under control. Adding other supplements sped up the process, but still seemed to require a minimum timeframe of around 6 months.
Then we combined and supercharged a couple of our top supplements, and made the hardest-hitting candida fighting supplement I have tested — one that would work on spores as well as attacking candida everywhere in the body.
Ten years ago, as part of dealing with autoimmune diseases, I started recommending the use of Soil Based Organisms to knock out candida. These soil based organisms not only killed candida directly, they also stimulated the immune system response and were more aggressive than probiotics. Unfortunately, SBO’s did not work quickly, and required a very large number of capsules to get good results.
When ThreeLac was first introduced to the USA, it proved to be wildly popular and was helping people better than the usual candida-fighting herbs and probiotics. I began recommending it, and thus began my real education into the nature of candida.
At that point I still had no idea how tough candida was to eliminate. There was a testimony of someone getting over candida in 11 days, or so they claimed, so it was being marketed as a product that would eliminate candida fast. While it helped some people who had tried everything unsuccessfully, it was incapable of knocking out candida.
As it turned out, this person with the fast results had been using many other supplements and drugs to hit the candida — ThreeLac had helped to finish it off. She found she needed to continue using ThreeLac to keep the candida under control.
ThreeLac did work much better than most other supplements, and was my main candida product for years. It is still extensively marketed for candida.
We had a lot of success with ThreeLac, but we also had a lot of returns — I wasn’t hearing that candida overgrowth was being eliminated for good. For most people it would come back all too soon once ThreeLac was stopped.
I talked to thousands of candida sufferers over those years, and came to understand just how tough candida was to eliminate.
My Anti-Candida Crusade
By 2006, I had spoken to so many people whose lives had been made miserable by candida overgrowth, I was determined to develop a supplement that vanquished it. To do so, I made use of a unique skill I had been taught.
About that time I had learned how to “energetically” test supplements to evaluate them for their effectiveness. I’ve been doing this testing ever since, and have found that it works quite well for me. The highest-rated supplements always seem to produce the best results with the most positive feedback. Using a logarithmic scale from 0 to 1000 (1000 being the “best”), I found the following:
Energetic Ratings for Candida Fighting Supplements
- Herbs tended to be in the 200 range. (Scores of different sources vary only slightly, and are in the same general range.) Oregano oil – 230, Garlic Extract – 230, Caprylic Acid – 230, Grapefruit Seed Extract – 240, Olive Leaf Extract – 250. Herbs may initially work well, but candida adjust to them and they become less effective.
- Oxygenation supplements faired poorly. In general, 180, with very high doses getting up to 220 or so. Hydrogen Peroxide IV’s, or Vitamin C high dose IV’s (also an oxygenator) tested at 300.
- General Probiotics tested around 110. Most high-potency probiotics test around 220, though the very best we have tested is 560 which is very very good. ThreeLac tests at 340. The probiotic formulation developed for us, TotalFlora15, is now energy infused with frequency instructions that tell the friendly bacteria in it to cooperate together, recolonize more vigorously, and to fight candida overgrowth in the intestines more vigorously.. With these added instructions, TotalFlora15 tests at 620 in terms of its ability to handle candida and recolonize the intestinal tract.
- Leaky gut syndrome is often associated with candida, for which colostrum is often recommended. We recomment a product called GI Pro which uses predigested fish protein peptides and probiotic greens to nourish and heal the intestinal wall, Colostrum comes in at around 280, depending on quality. GI Pro tests at 480.
- Diatomaceous Earth, a fossilized marine phytoplankton, tested at 380 for killing candida. Making use of this testing, a much stronger version was developed that would absorb die-off toxins and the heavy metal most often associated with candida overgrowth, mercury. CandiClear5 tests at 650, significantly higher than the usual candida fighting supplements. I’ve had hundreds of people tell me over the years that CandiClear5 was by far the best supplement they had used to fight candida.Many practitioners say that to deal with candida, you first need to deal with mercury overload and copper toxicity. CandiClear5’s combination of ingredients is excellent at grabbing hold of and eliminating these heavy metals. In addition, it will kill parasitic infections that most of the time can accompany chronic candida overgrowth. All the while absorbing toxins eliminated by the candida when you kill them.
I came to realize that a staged approach would work best, first dealing with parasites and cleansing the digestive system, then confronting the candida, followed by boosting the immune system and healing the body as a whole — an intelligent approach to fighting candida.
I developed my own groups of supplemental recommendations for a comprehensive and staged approach, which produced the best results by far. The drawback was that it could be expensive and required more work (and money) than most people had.
A couple of years later, we developed additional powerful supplements that worked on several stages at one time, both killing candida and, at the same time, stimulating regeneration and boosting the immune system. This included a specially-processed essential oil elixir called Zernix, with energetic vibrational frequencies that disrupted and killed candida overgrowth and other pathogens too.
Zernix tested at 620 for fighting candida. We also began using Custom Elixir Y(testing at 480) which used vibrational energies to disrupt and kill candida, parasites and other pathogens, while minimizing die-offs and flare ups. As these energetic products boosted the immune response, and stimulated overall healing, the staged approach was no longer necessary.
The two problems still remaining? Expense and candida spores.
So I asked myself — was it was possible to develop a more powerful candida killing supplement that could do the best possible job of killing candida, improving the immune system response, and eliminating spores released by candida when it reproduces? If the candida spores aren’t eliminated, they will bloom into a new candida overgrowth the first chance they get and your candida will always be coming back.
I went back to the drawing board, and developed a supercharged version of an essential oil-based energetic elixir similar to Zernix, but one that contained supercharged energies like those available in Custom Elixir Y (only much stronger.)
This became the breakthrough I was looking for — a supplement that is by far the highest- testing candida fighter we have tested — CandElim.
CandElim
With the addition of patent pending processed Olive Leaf Extract in addition to the small amounts of patent pending processed essential oils in CandElim, it’s ability to fight candida tests at a super high 980on a logarithmic scale which goes from 0 to 1000. The next highest rating supplement for fighting candida that I’ve ever tested — CandiClear5 — comes in at 650, while most top supplements test at less than 400. CandElim’s candida fighting ability tests far beyond anything else, and the results of people using it are showing that it is indeed a superior candida fighting supplement.
As we mentioned, CandElim is based on two types of proven candida fighters — essential oil based elixirs, supercharged and combined with additional energies, and a pure energetic frequency enhanced water elixir that disrupted and killed candida without causing much die off.
For several years I had noticed that our top pathogen fighters — killing bad bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, and candida or other fungal infections, were essential oil elixirs. Omni Essential Oil Elixir, Azovin, and Zernix are three of the best. They use a combination of specially processed essential oils made using unique patent pending methods that greatly enhance their effectiveness in the body. So much so that only small amounts are used. These are combined with specific energetic vibrational frequencies that on their own disrupt and kill candida. These work synergistically with the essential oils to increase their effectiveness. They also boost the immune system response so that it will more effectively fight candida.
Not only were all the energies used to make CandElim, but many more vibrational frequencies were added to it. And then a much more potent laser technology was used to concentrate and stabilize the frequencies in the water.
It is this supercharged combination of proven candida fighters that laid the foundation for CandElim. Then we added addition instructions that make CandElim even more powerful at killing candida — and more importantly, at greatly reducing the likelihood that candida will coming back again and again. Here’s why.
Instructions to eliminate candida spores.
The reason candida is so hard to get rid of is that when you’ve had chronic candida, your body is loaded with candida spores. Spores are released by candida as part of their reproductive cycle. Candida also produce and release them when they are being attacked. These spores stay in your body as they are pretty much protected from your immune system and none of the candida fighters you normally have been able to use touch them.
They bloom into new candida when the time is right.
So… You may be able to kill most of your active candida and start feeling pretty good. Celebration. Time to go off that diet and start eating normally again. Time to stop taking all those pills and powders.
And what happens? In not too long a time the internal environment in your body may again become optimal for candida. The spores sense this, come to life, and back comes your candida overgrowth. As bad as before.
Very frustrating.
CandElim stops this process. Once it sends the candida spores out of the body, spores won’t be creating more candida in your body at the first chance. At long last, you may be able to get rid of your candida — and keep it gone.
Another important benefit of CandElim.
Because of the special patent pending processing of the Olive Leaf Extract and essential oils used in CandElim, they are better absorbed and better transported throughout the body. In addition, a major aspect of its ability to fight candida lies in the vibrational frequencies that disrupt candida and other pathogens and cause them to die. These frequencies are picked up everywhere in the body. Thus it is able to attack candida that are hiding out in your body, This prevents candida yeast from going dormant, and kills them everywhere — throughout your body.
Once you’ve wiped out the active candida overgrowth, killed the dormant candida in your body, deactivated the candida spores, and replenished the intestinal flora — it becomes MUCH harder for candida to overgrow and wreak havoc in your body.
How Long Will This Take?
The question is, how long might it take to achieve this? If you have long standing chronic overgrowth, and most readers will, using the minimum of a bottle a month of CandElim and 2 bottles a month of TotalFlora15, the energy infused probiotic I recommend to replenish your intestinal flora, may take 18 months to completely eradicate all candida and candida spores. A long time, but it will get the job done.
To more rapidly deal with the candida overgrowth, we are now suggesting people with chronic long term candida overgrowth, plenty of overgrowth, to use 2 bottles of CandElim per month and 3 bottles a month of the TotalFlora15. (Of course, CandiClear5, GI Pro and other supplements can also be used.) Using higher quantities may drop the time to completely knock out the candida to 12 months or so.
Of course, this will vary between individuals. And you will feel much much better long before these time frames to eliminate candida overgrowth completely are finished.
Once your candida is wiped out, taking one/third of a bottle per month should keep the candida at bay, while you work to improve your intestinal flora and leaky gut, which can take a good six months. CandElim helps to improve the immune system so you don’t necessarily have to add on other immune system supplements.
We have had many reports from users that Candelim is working very well, clearly significantly stronger than any of the typical candida fighters. I heard from a couple of users who both said their spit test showed they had a lot of candida, but that in 5 or 6 weeks of CandElim use, the test show much improved results.
Another customer with very bad candida symptoms and a bad spit test, failed to work up to the full dosage of CandElim. He had started out at the suggested 6 drops a day, and may have worked up to 12 to 15 drops a day, but not the full dosage of 30 drops a day. (We suggest starting at a low dose because it does cause die off symptoms in some people.) Yet in three months he reported that he was doing much better and that his spit test was clearing up.
I feel very close to being completely free of candida and think that candElim is a really great product! It’s interesting that candElim was the 1 supplement that consistently came up in all my muscle testing but that the others changed from month to month

What to take if you experience severe die-off symptoms.
If you are one of the few people who experience severe die-off symptoms when fighting candida, you may want to consider CandXpel rather than CandElim.
CandXpel
This elixir is a unique and powerful way to deal with candida fungal overgrowth and all other pathogens in the body. It tells the immune system to grab hold of candida and escort it out of the body without killing it. Reducing die off symptoms. Does the same for bad bacteria, mycoplasma and viruses too. It also tells the immune system to grab candida spores and carry them out too. In addition the lymph system is alerted to package up candida, fungal spores, and pathogens of all types, and to carry them to the skin or colon wall, to push them through and eliminate them from the body. This elixir is one of the most efficient way to eliminate candida and other pathogens, and fungal spores too.
Use 2 per month for six months, then one per month for another 6 months. Stop too soon and the candida comes back. $39.95.
Again, CandXpel is suggested when you know that you can’t take candida fighters because your die-off symptoms are too severe. In every other case, CandElim is the top recommendation.
Toxin Elimination Elixir:
Like Candxpel, Toxin Elimination Elixir uses energetic vibrational frequencies concentrated in water to deliver instructions to your body. These instructions work to reduce or stamp out the major issues that cause so many of the symptoms that plague candida sufferers.
This elixir activates a process in the body where the lymph system identifies, packages and picks up all toxins including heavy metals and fat soluble toxins, and takes them to the large intestine or the skin to be eliminated. This process bypasses detoxing blockages caused by an overloaded and poorly working liver that is failing to eliminate toxins efficiently.
Toxin Elimination Elixir significantly speeds up the removal of toxins from your body. In fact, it is the very most efficient toxin elimination supplement or support, working day after day.
It works deep into the body and if used long enough, can detox all your cells, gradually and efficiently. If your body is sensitive to die-off or detoxing side effects, start at a low dose and very gradually increase.
Use ideally two bottles a month for about six months – once you work up to this dosage. Then reduce to a bottle a month for at least another 6 months though as it takes a very long time to detoxify your body, a year and a half or more of use will produce a deeper detoxification.. $39.95
Oxy Life Force Elixir
Oxy Life Force Elixir increases the production of nano oxygen bubbles in the body. It also enhances all aspects of oxygen transfer and utilization in the body. The additional nano oxygen bubbles it creates kill candida and other pathogens.
In addition, they oxidize and neutralize toxins. They give you more energy. They stimulate repair and regeneration in the body. All these actions are important for dealing with the damage that candida causes in your body.
Once Oxy Life Force Elixir was enhanced with the energy instructions to increase production of nano oxygen bubbles, it became one of the most valuable support products to take when using CandElim or CandXpel.
Adults would optimally work up to using a 2 bottle a month dose. Everyone should start at a low dose as it does cause die-off and it detoxifies too. $39.95
A quick summary:
A fundamental, anti-candida regimen starts with CandElim. At $49.95 per bottle, it is affordable – and easy to take.
It takes a long time to eliminate all the candida spores and the candida hiding deep in the body. If used at the bottle a month dose, the time frame to eliminate all candida and spores could easily be 18 months in an adult.
Faster is to work up to using a 2 bottle a month dose for at least 4 months at this dose. Then as many candida and spores would have been eliminated, reduce the dose to 1 bottle a month for 8 months.
For prevention, as there are many ways to be re-exposed to candida, you may continue at about a third of a bottle per month
Depending on which products are used, the extent of the candida, and your dietary choices, it could take longer.
Add on Toxin Elimination Elixir to work on reducing the candida toxin overload that is causing most of your symptoms.
If you suffer from extremely severe die-off symptoms, use Toxin Elimination Elixir and Candxpel. If your die-off symptoms are severe, you may even want to use Toxin Elimination only for a month before adding in CandXpel.
Additionally, Oxy Life Force Elixir rounds out a protocol that is a bit more than the basics. It will give you more energy and stimulate repair and regeneration while killing candida and destroying toxins.
After knocking down the amount of candida, or while doing so, you will also need to restore the intestinal flora balance in order to prevent candida from overgrowing again. More below on these other supplements.
For years TotalFlora15 has done an excellent job of replenishing the friendly bacteria in your guts when you have candida. We have noticed that most probiotics don’t work well at fighting candida, but TotalFlora15 does. Especially now that it is energy infused with energies that help the friendly bacteria in it to a better job of eating candida and bad bacteria.
With most probiotics, candida is tougher than they are and wipes them out. Some powerful probiotics like ThreeLac and soil based organisms do not recolonize the intestinal tract. They die out in a few days.
GI Pro can accelerate healing the leaky gut and improving evacuation of the colon for faster results.
CandiClear5 is an additional candida killer that can more rapidly help you deal with GERD and digestive issues caused by Candida.

I so appreciate this site and the Wonderful Products that I am now taking. I did not know what has been wrong with me for years and I mean years. I finally went to a Doctor and he stated that it was my Gall Bladder, Really..no symptoms. Well I finally decided to have surgery since I had been it bed for 2 months which is not my style. I felt like I was dying. One month after surgery I was back in bed and this time worse than before. Gall Bladder I don’t think so. I met a Holistic Healer and she stated that I had Candida. Put me on some herbs and I started to feel better, however the pain was horrible. My husband found your site, we visited the products, I called and placed an order and I am now in my second month and I am starting to feel much better. My only concern is that I don’t weigh that much and have lost a lot of weight, any suggestions?
Thank you again, this will probably level off so I can have my life back. Many Blessing to this company and the faithfulness of your medical field.
On my way to complete healing.
God Bless you,
Jill (She used CandElim, Nymsar, GI Pro and TotalFlora15. We suggested she consume more whole grains, protein shakes sweetened with Xylitol or stevia. She could even have fruit in the shake, berries best, if she also used CandiClear5 and put it in the shake too.)
Recovering From Candida Overgrowth Requires More Than Just Killing Candida
Replenishing your intestinal flora.
Feedback over the years has been that most probiotics do a very poor job at fighting candida. The candida eat them up, and spit them back out.
There are some brands of probiotics that are strong enough to kill candida. ThreeLac is one of those brands, but the friendly bacteria in Threelac don’t colonize and replicate in the intestinal tract.
TotalFlora15
TotalFlora15 is the best probiotic formula we have found for fighting candida. Unlike most probiotics, it is a powerful candida killer. Better still, it does an excellent job of recolonizing the intestinal tract with billions of friendly bacteria, even in the presence of yeast.
Proper re-colonization requires the action of many types of friendly bacteria — a few strains on their own can not do enough to fight candida successfully — they simply get overwhelmed and die out. TotalFlora15 brings together the most widely accepted groups of probiotics – the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species. These are known to work together synergistically, maintaining an ideal balance of “good” bacteria within your digestive tract.
One key to why TotalFlora15 works better than other probiotics at fighting candida is the Streptococcus Thermophilus contained within. A highly-versatile fast-acting strain of friendly bacteria which acts as a free radical scavenger, this additional strain works hand in hand with the 10 strains of Lactobacillus and four from the Bifidobacterium family. This ideal mixture “kick-starts” a good bacterial bloom thus promoting healthy intestinal function and strengthening your immune system to inhibit candida overgrowth.
The other key is the unique and proprietary laser technology that infuses our TotalFlora15 bacteria with instructions in the form of energetic frequency vibrations. These are specifically designed to activate the friendly bacteria in TotalFlora15 and instruck them to attack and kill candida yeast and other fungal and bad bacteria overgrowth in the intestinal tract. The frequencies also instruct the 15 strains of bacteria to colonize. Plus, these energies even tell them to kill any genetically modified organisms in the guts. As we are exposed to more and more genetically modified foods, this ability will become vital to maintaining health. Studies are already showing that genetically modified bacteria are growing in our guts and those of animals. A huge increase in sterility is now being observed in cows and bulls which is now proven to be caused by these organisms.
Each capsule also contains a small supply of Ascorbic Acid which keeps the bacteria viable in the bottle by maintaining the best pH. Once it is exposed in the intestines, this ascorbic acid helps modify the growing environment there making it more suitable for the blooming of good bacteria.
There are 60 capsules in a bottle. Two capsules supply approximately 30 Billion viable cells. It works best to use 4 capsules per day until your intestinal tract has returned to good health. This generally takes 6 months.
You need to develop a strong colony of friendly bacteria before discontinuing CandElim or CandXpel, so as to prevent the candida in the intestinal tract from overgrowth again. If your spit test shows that the candida overgrowth is gone — at say 4 months — you would continue with about a third to half a bottle a month dosage of CandElim for at least a couple more months while using the TotalFlora15 and other supplements to help your body recover fully.
Ingredients: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus lactis, Lactobacillus paracasei, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus bulgaricus lyoferm, Lactobacillus sporogenes, Lactobacillus brevis. Other ingredients: Rice starch, Ascorbic Acid, 60 Capsules per bottle. $54.95 each
With it’s energy infusion, TotalFlora15 is easily the best probiotic you can use. For maintenance, continue to use a bottle or more a month on a long term basis. At the very least, you need this product just to protect yourself from the genetically modified organisms we are exposed to in our diet these days.
Dealing With Bloating, GERD, and Digestive Upset
For combating these issues, include the use of CandiClear5. The fossilized marine phytoplankton and zeolite powder will both absorb and eradicate candida waste and fermentation byproducts that cause GERD.
In addition, it will help to hit the candida even harder than using CandElim on its own, and does an excellent job of shredding up the candida in your stomach.
CandiClear5
Candiclear5 offers 5-way support for effective candida control:
- Ruptures and destroys yeast blooms.
- Absorbs and removes toxic debris.
- Balances pH levels.
- Provides nutrients that fight candida.
- Nutritionally supports intestinal repair.
The main ingredient in CandiClear5 is a fossilized freshwater phytoplankton that shreds up both parasites and candida that come in contact with it. If you have candida overgrowth, you almost always have parasites too. I recommend CC5. When candida is killed mechanically, the yeast cannot develop resistance.
The porous structure of the fossilized phytoplankton absorbs toxins and waste debris to help reduce die-off symptoms. This product contains a large amount (9.5 grams) of the plankton per 20 gram serving, and 4.6 grams of air filtered micro zeolite powder, which attracts and absorbs mercury and other heavy metals, helping to increase your pH levels to a more alkaline state – all-important for eliminating candida.
CandiClear5 supplies per 3 scoop serving: 400mg Vitamin C, 60mg Vitamin B 6 (with P5P), and 280 mg Zinc Picolinate.
A large part of its candida fighting ability comes from a proprietary blend (5400mg) of 16 other ingredients, with immune boosting, candida-killing, anti-inflammatory properties: Organic Burdock root, Organic Cinnamon, Arabinogalactans (10% DHQ) from Siberian Larch, Xylitol, a sweetener that does NOT feed candida, and actually helps to kill it, extracts of Barley Grass 4:1 Broccoli Sprouts 4:1 Parsley 10:1 Astragalus 5:1, Polycil Humic/Fulvic acid to help evict toxins, kill pathogens and increase mineral absorption, Apple Cider Vinegar powder to fight candida by increasing pH, Aulterra mineral powder (to increase the absorption of these ingredients), and Organic Seabed Minerals.
CandiClear5 comes in a 1.5 pound container that will last one month when taking 3 scoops per day. Start out at just 1 scoop per day and gradually increase to full dosage. CandiClear5 is quite potent. NOT FOR DOGS as they should not eat Xylitol.
Certainly, a low carbohydrate diet will help your battle against candida go faster. Unfortunately, if you are thin, you may feel as if you are wasting away. Here is something to help if you are on a reduced carbohydrate diet. Mix or bake CandiClear5 in carbohydrates. This could include juice, oatmeal, pancakes, muffins, or even cookies. CandiClear5 works even better when taken this way. It will kill more candida, because the candida are attracted to the carbohydrates. The carbs act as “bait” and this method allows lighter people to eat more carbohydrates. $89.95 per container.
Reducing Fatigue
Fatigue is a big issue for many people with candida overgrowth. If this is the case for you, you can use 600 mgs. a day of a top quality CoQ10 to much more rapidly regain energy. Here’s why.
Perhaps the major cause of fatigue when you have candida is the ethanol toxin that candida produces. This toxin disrupts cellular metabolism. When this happens, your cells can’t produce energy effectively using oxygen. If your body has a severe overgrowth of candida, the toxins they produce disrupt the cellular metabolism of so many cells that you suffer from extreme, or not so extreme fatigue — depending on the amount of candida in your body.
The best way to deal with this issue is to take up to 3 bottles a month of Super ProCoQ10 Max. This is the best CoQ10 supplement we have found. Three bottles will supply 600 mgs. of an ester — highly absorbable — CoQ10 which will improve cellular metabolism, and make a significant difference in fatigue levels. If you suffer from fatigue, this is well worth doing. $49.95 each. $44.95 each when buying 3 at a time, $39.95 each when buying 6 at a time.
Most likely you will only need to use CoQ10 for 3 months if you are using CandElim — as there will be a large decrease in the amount of candida overgrowth in you body by then. If you suffer from severe die-off, and are starting with CandXpel, getting rid of candida is a slower process as you can’t kill it too fast because of the severe die-off symptoms. So you may need to use CoQ10 for several more months if you can’t get to full dosage quickly.
Healing Leaky Gut and Allergies
Candida overgrowth always leads to a damaged intestinal wall and a leaky gut. A leaky gut always leads to food allergies — which makes allergies one of the sure indications that you have candida yeast overgrowth. As you kill off the candida in your intestinal tract, your body will naturally work to repair the intestinal wall, but you can speed up this process.
The strongest supplement to aid healing Leaky Gut is…
GI Pro
A unique formulation providing Neuropeptide support, GI Pro feeds your intestinal wall with a potent blend of Hydrolyzed (pre-digested) Fish Protein (HFP), clinically proven to promote intestinal health. GI Pro’s HFP is collagen-based, and is a 96% bio-active protein for repairing cells and tissue. (Higher than any other product in its category.) With no rancid fish oils or allergens, and thus no fishy/bad odor, GI Pro supplies undenatured peptides for neurotransmitter support — the intestinal wall will literally absorb these peptides and use them to repair itself.
30% of GI Pro consists of a proprietary probiotic culture of 10 organic sea vegetables and super greens. This is combined with the world’s #1 Pre-biotic, NutraFlora, to encourage rapid growth and reproduction of friendly bacteria. (NutraFlora alone increases probiotic bloom 500% in one month of use.) In addition, GI Pro also supplies marine-origin, naturally-chelated trace minerals for energy, stamina and improved intestinal flora. It also provides therapeutic levels of OPC’s from Grape Seed Extract (95% proanthocyanidins) for their synergistic effect on collagen repair, as well as therapeutic levels of Silymarin from Organic Milk Thistle 80, for its liver-boosting effects and protective benefits.
We have heard customers say that their digestive issues started to improve within a day or two of using Gi Pro.
GI Pro is a unique, pre-digested, whole food supplement that offers substantial benefits for the digestive system and overall health! The product’s predigested collagen (peptide) protein is an amazing food supplement, that allows the body’s repair and renewal systems to work more effectively. Collagen protein is the basic building block of healthy cells — with insufficient collagen, only partial repairs can take place. As we age, even essential repairs become neglected without proper levels of collagen protein.
The hydrolyzed (enzymatically pre-digested) collagen protein in GI Pro is available immediately to the body, and offers unique, powerful benefits for the intestinal tract and the entire body.
Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen Protein is backed by a 40-year history of safe clinical use. This collagen and the other ingredients that make up GI Pro have been carefully selected to support the rapid repair of damaged intestinal tissue and establish optimum flora balance. $59.95 each
Boosting and Balancing Female Hormones
Earlier, we described how candida overgrowth digests progesterone, disrupting the hormonal system. The best female hormonal support we know of is FemBalance.
FemBalance is a supercharged version of Custom Elixir FHB (Female Hormone Balancer). Using newer, more powerful technology, 1 bottle of FemBalance is equivalent to using 8 bottles per month of Custom Elixir FHB. The energies in this elixir communicate to the body, telling it to balance and optimize female hormonal production. Low hormonal activity is increased, while overproduction of hormones is decreased. You don’t need expensive tests or even bio-identical hormones when using Fembalance. Your body is instructed to figure out for itself what it needs to be producing, and balances your hormones naturally — always the best way to go.
FemBalance will even optimize production of testosterone – increasing sex drive – for overall health and vitality, as well as helping with the prevention of osteoporosis. $69.95 per bottle.
Support Adrenals and Thyroid
Because candida consumes blood sugar at night, the adrenals must “kick in” to maintain energy. At some point, the sufferer may end up with adrenal fatigue. Once the adrenals become low, their direct connection to the thyroid oftentimes leads to low thyroid function as well.
While the fundamental issue of candida overgrowth must be addressed, you can significantly improve adrenal and thyroid function by using Tyovu.This is a frequency-enhanced elixir specifically designed to optimize and improve issues associated with compromised adrenal and thyroid.
Food Allergies:
Typically, correcting food allergies is a very expensive process requiring testing and multiple treatments — shots, homeopathy, or alternative treatments like NET.
There are two supplements that will help reduce and subjugate food allergies.
- Allergy Relief Elixir — which reduces the allergic response of the immune system.
- GI Pro — which speeds up healing of the intestinal wall enabling the leaky gut to repair more quickly.
Nymsar
The energies in Nymsar fight to reduce die off symptoms.
These energies support both liver function and cellular detoxification, so that your body can better handle the toxins released when candida is killed. This dumping of toxins released by dead candida typically overwhelms the liver and detoxification system, causing die off issues such as mild flu-like symptoms, tiredness, skin irritations and just plain feeling lousy.
Reducing flare ups.
Nymsar technologies help to calm down the candida fungi, carrying instructions to halt their activity, reducing flare-up reactions such as rashes and itching. Flare ups occur when dormant candida fungi, “hiding out” from the immune system, activate to “fight back”. Flare ups are common — most people will experience them at some point.
By stilling the candida’s activity, Nymsar reduces their ability to fight back, enabling them to be more easily destroyed.
Severe die-off occurs when dead candida releases/dumps toxins into the body. This stresses an already-compromised liver that has been dealing with normal candida waste toxins built up in the cells for years. Supporting the liver so that it can process the toxins is vital. Unfortunately, digestion is usually compromised by the massive candida overgrowth, depriving the liver of vital nutrients, weakening one of the body’s most important detoxifiers.
Controlling Blood Sugar Levels While Fighting Candida
After candida overgrowth has affected the blood sugar, causing the body to crave sugars and carbohydrates, it can attempt to colonize the pancreas, leading to diabetes. If you have diabetes, you may want to add the following supplement to your order of CandElim to assist getting your blood sugar under control much more quickly.
OCMP
OCMP provides significant health benefits while, at the same time, killing candida. It literally “alkalizes candida to death” by increasing the uptake of minerals into the cells, boosting the strength of cells that are already healthy, while, at the same time, alkalizing and killing the unhealthy cells, as candida prefers an acidic environment.
OCMP stands for Optimize Cell Membrane Potential – For Enhanced Strength, Energy and Recovery. Boosting Cell Membrane Potential improves cellular chemistry and increases overall cell efficiency. This directly upgrades:
Cell protection and fortification (blocking access for toxins and pathogens), cell repair and recovery (increasing nutrient flow including oxygen), and cell hygiene (speeding waste transfer and emission out of the cells). Customers using OCMP report much-improved blood sugar levels.
The key factors influencing cell membrane potential are positive and negative ion concentrations. These ions work together creating “electrical gradients” within our tissues. These gradients are what keep cell membranes strong and determine how well our cells and nerves function.
The key elements or ions involved are sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl–), and calcium (Ca2+). These four elements are found in abundance in almost every diet, but are often severely imbalanced at a cellular level. Increasing their intake does not automatically improve Cell Membrane Potential, indeed in many cases, CMP may actually decrease.
Our proprietary OCMP formulation is doctor-designed to provide therapeutic levels of what we call the ionic gatekeeper nutrients — high levels of bio-available magnesium, zinc, chromium, manganese, lithium and germanium. These elements help spark the production and release of calcium and chloride ions, processes essential to continued robust health.
OCMP enhances the brain and nerve cells methylation capacity, and nutritionally supports mood elevation. Daily use will positively contribute to the detoxification process and help protect the cells and brain from mercury and other neuro toxins. It augments the body’s natural pain-relief and stress recovery processes. OCMP is also a premium anti-aging nutraceutical which, through the individual and synergistic action of its ingredients, may strongly assist in the recovery of youthful function in organs, joints and skin.
Includes therapeutic levels of: Magnesium (chelated, ionic and soluble), TriMethylGlycine (cellular repair and protection), N-Acetyl Glucosamine (intestinal, joint and skin repair and protection), Germanium 132 (cellular oxygen utilization), with supporting levels of organic lithium, selenium, zinc, iodide, vitamins and a full range of trace minerals and absorption assisting cofactors. There are 120 capsules per bottle. Start using 1 capsule and gradually increase to 4 capsules a day. $59.95
Maintenance:
You have knocked out your candida. The spit test is consistently showing you are clear. Your symptoms are gone. You can indulge in foods that feed candida without getting a flare up. Congratulations!
The best way we have found to maintain this balance and continued healing, is to take maintenance doses of:
OCMP – Explained in detail above, OCMP adjusts pH levels and alkalizes candida to keep it in check. OCMP will also keep your cells healthy and toxin-free, preventing many other ill-health conditions — as well as work at keeping blood sugar levels in the optimal range.
TotalFlora15 – Continued use of an excellent probiotic like TotalFlora15 will go a long way towards preventing candida overgrowth, as the friendly bacteria keep the candida in your intestinal tract, where they need to be in small amounts, from overgrowing. Due to widespread use of antibiotics in animal feed, your body is exposed to antibiotics even if you take none. These will gradually be killing off your friendly bacteria. TotalFlora15 will keep the intestinal flora in optimal shape.
Frequently Asked Questions:
I’ve tried to fight my candida in the past, only to suffer from severe die-off symptoms? Which product should I use?
Use Candxpel rather than CandElim. If you don’t know if you experience severe die-off, start with CandElim at a very low dose, 2-6 drops per day, gradually working up to full dosage.
What is the best product to take if I am pregnant or nursing and suffering from toxemia?
Use Candxpel, starting with just 2 drops per day as it produces the least die-off. It is best to also work into using 2 bottle per month of Toxin Elimination Elixir to send toxins out of the body. Do start at a low dose also
If you are pregnant or nursing and are NOT dealing with a build up of toxins in your body (toxemia), start at an extra small introductory dose of CandElim (3 drops per day), increasing dosages more gradually, every 5 days instead of the usual 3 days. Increase in 2 drop increments rather than the usual 6 drop increments.
If you start feeling lousy, a sure sign of die-off, stop immediately, wait a few days until you are feeling better, and decrease your dosage. Die-off is a sign that your liver is not eliminating all the toxins being released by the dying candida. Using Toxin Elimination Elixir and Nymsar will help to make sure the liver can better handle those toxins.
If I can only afford to get one supplement, what should it be?
CandElim is the most vital supplement. Gradually work up to the 1 to 2 bottle-per-month dosage and maintain that dosage until at least a year has passed. (There is no such thing as quickly eliminating candida.)
At this point, reduce the dosage to 1/3 of a bottle per month. Along the way, replenish your friendly bacteria, repair a leaky gut, calm down the allergies, strengthen the immune system and get the hormones — sex hormones, adrenals, and thyroid — back in good shape.
What are the second-most important supplement/supplements for me to take?
As it is most often the lack of friendly bacteria in the gut that leads to candida overgrowth in the first place, using 2 bottles per month of TotalFlora15 may be the next most important supplement to take — for replenishing the intestinal flora. TotalFlora15 is better than other probiotics at dealing with candida overgrowth because it has been energy infused with instructions that make it much stronger.
Depending on your specific situation, other issues may be more important to address first:
My specific die-off concerns are flare-ups, food allergies and detoxification — which product/products should I use?
Take Toxin Elimination Elixir, GI Pro and Allergy Relief Elixir for allergy and detox support.
Mercury or copper toxicity is a concern for me:
Add on CandiClear5 — the detox clay and fossilized marine phytoplankton in it will be absorbing mercury, copper and other heavy metals, safely removing them from the body.
I have ALL the classic symptoms of candida overgrowth, including brain fog, tiredness, sweet cravings, nail fungus and intestinal discomfort. What products will provide the fastest relief?
If your budget allows, add CandiClear5 along with the CandElim. The more “ammunition” you throw at the yeast imbalance, the faster the results.
My biggest concern is hormone imbalance. Mood swings and emotional instability are affecting me and everyone around me in a negative way:
Use 1 to 2 bottles per month of FemBalance. Use for at least 4 months after intestinal balance has been restored.
My major issues are adrenal fatigue , night sweats, poor sleep, low metabolism, and low thyroid:
Add on 1 bottle of Tyovu, which optimizes adrenal and thyroid function. One bottle per month is adequate, two per month can be used.
