A must-have for candida die-off
After suffering through the Herxheimer/die-off/healing crisis effects of a candida infection, I was at my wits end to find a way to detox and get rid of all the toxins in my body, which were wreaking havoc on my skin, and causing the most painful, weepy rashes, and inflamed joints. Under the care of my functional medicine doctor, and already eating a Paleo diet, I went through almost $2,000 worth of blood work, a few dozen supplements, high quality probiotics, coconut oil, cod liver oil, detox baths, and even Bentonite clay to no avail. The toxins kept building up. Google "The candida Diet" and one of the key ingredients in this supplement, Molybdenum, is key to the candida detox process. One of the 79 toxins released by candida is acetaldehyde, which is the nastiest of the bunch. It unfortunately stays in the body, and doesn't get excreted like normal. That's where this NOW Foods NAC supplement comes in: the molybdenum goes straight to the liver and converts the acetaldehyde into something more easily excreted by the kidneys: acetic acid. The dosage on this bottle says 1 capsule 2 times a day, which is 100 mcg of molybdenum in total. However, when dealing with candida die-off, the suggestions I've come across have recommended upwards of 250 mcg three times a day. That equates to fifteen of these NAC capsules a day. I was originally taking the bottle's suggested two capsules a day. Once I increased that, the relief was almost immediate. When fighting candida, remember to eat clean, stay away from sugar, take a good quality probiotic ( NOW Foods Probiotic-10 25 Billion, 50 Vcaps , supplement with a few antifungals ( Gaia Herbs Oil Of Oregano, 120 liquid-filled capsules, Bottle , Alvita Tea Bags, Pau D'Arco, Caffeine Free, 24 tea bags (2.12 oz) 60 g (Pack of 3) , and don't forget to arm yourself with plenty of this molybdenum-containing NAC supplement
