View Full Version : Has anyone here had Candida and cured it?

I have delt with candida since age 17. It was caused by the use of antibiotics in most people. For my first treatment the doctor gave me a double whammy of antibiotics... go figure.
I have learned much since then. I now have a strain that does not cure easily. This past winter with another infection I had to try multiple antifungals to get results. Diflucan does not work. I ended up using a medicine that causes me significant side effects of pain, at twice the dosage for twice as long as most people would require.
So once again I started my search for a cure. Everyone who has chronic and mutated candida says there is no cure. Only stringent lifestyle modifications can control it and Im not too pleased with that option.
Some medical doctors and natuopaths are determining that some cancer cases are caused by fungal infection and from the work they do it is clear to see that they most likely are quite right. This is most disconcerting for me.
So in my most recent search I went to www.curezone.org (http://www.curezone.org) and found the testimonial of a man who says he cured his chronic oral thrush of 11 years duration with a protocol he found elsewhere on the internet. I followed his links and read the material. I am presenting them to you for your consideration. I decided that if it came to it I would do this protocol. Everyone makes their own decisions.... as should you.
go to this website and click on Candida in the toolbar:
www.owndoc.com (http://www.owndoc.com)
Here you will find an article on the treatment of chronic candida with a drug called Lufeneron. Read it in its entirity. The site provides a link for a PDF file on the use of Lufeneron. I suggest that you download it as I have done so you will be sure to have it for future reference. In the PDF file you will find links to studies done with this drug on primates.
Sara Vaughtner, the owner of this site use to sell Lufeneron. She has recently been stopped by the authorities in her country. She has a forum where she will answer peoples questions on its use. I have exchanged emails with her a few times.
Lufenuron is available though over the counter purchase and though vetinarians in a product produced by Novartis called Program. You want no other product nor any product that mixes lufeneron with other drugs. It is a little spendy to do but probably well worth it if it works.

Out of my head, so I'm not 100% sure....
Ozonated Oil could be a way of curing candida.......
Arrowwind

I have a medical grade ozonater that I have used many many times. I tried it for the candida and to no positive effect... In fact ozone is known to aggravate candida at times although it has proven helpful with candid in the ears at times. The detox can be wicked

B17 combined with b-complex pills and anti-candida diet helped me. It was a 15 year long struggle for me till I did this. Whenever my immune system lowers candida comes back, so now when I see the first signs of lowering immune system, I take B17 and it doesn't show up. Permanent cure? Don't know if it's possible, candida is normal inhabitant of our body and something in us makes her multiply more then in other people...finding the cause of that might get candida under control.
EDIT:
By B17 I mean apricot kernels or apple seeds, not Laetril.

Candida is normal to the body but it is only normal to have it in certain places. I think mutant varieties root in. This is why on some people who get candida skin infections they reoccur in the same place time and again. It is never cured in that area.. The mutant variety does not belong in the gut either as it causes leaky gut syndrome. If this article is correct there is a cure. Its worth reading if you have candida if for any reason to understand the physiology of the microbe.

I have tried colloidal silver both orally and topically at the same time and it did not work
I think many people have tried colloidal silver for this without good enough results.

Hi Arrowwind - have you tried Pekana remedies? I just googled Pekana re candida and came up with this http://www.belvaspata.org/belvaspata-purification-detoxification-program.html it is a bit of an odd site but protocol could be useful - that is direction I would go - maybe search out a practitioner who uses Pekana remedies and the San Pharma ones? also you can google Syntol for gentle candida cleanse

I will look at it. I have used Heel Homeoapthics with some success for different conditons and I have been very pleased with their remedy Lymphomyosot,, which is similar to this companies mucan.
Constitiutional Homeoapthy has helpd my condition... but I am far from a constitiutional homeoapth these days and cost is more of an issue since I am not now working...
Lufeneron is of interest to me because it kills the mutant type by breaking up its chitan.. I have seen no medicine that works in this manner. Homoepathy and other processes work by boosting the immune system.... but immue systems go up and down... so problems return and I have never seen homeopathy to fully remove candida for me... and it is likely because it is part and parcel of the human body... but... this mutated type is another matter.
I would like to fully resolve it. Fortuanately I do not have full systemic manefestations as so many others do.
I will look at it further as it says it does address mutant varieties.

Yes, I initially had no luck with the store-bought product. Got a machine and started making my own. I purposely let the colloids form for TWICE as long as I usually did -- from ~13 to ~25 minutes, then drank 2 - 4 ounces distributed in 24-48 ounces water per day.
Poof! Gone! It's been a while since the last really bad outbreak -- as in years.

Low carb no sugar diet is the first step.
Also many folks here have tried turpentine. 100% gum spirits of turpentine, don't buy turp at the hardware store it has been denatured which means it has had petroleum added.
This is the type I've used. Diamond G
You can order it on Amazon for like $20
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/413GiZX6JtL.jpg
One teaspoon on three sugar cubes, once every three days.
You need the sugar, you are using the sugar to entice the candida and then the turp gets them. :)

Have you looked into lufenuron? FWIW, both my mother and I tried this in 2012-13 and we are both still around as of 2018. I have also had another friend and his mother try it (both our mothers contracted cancer and my friend and I acted as guinea pigs) and they are still around too!
I forgot the place I bought if from, but this might have been it. I suggest to research it and see if it is for you.

Diet is the safest way I would have thought, it needs to be total & for long enough without cheating to really knock the candida back, and even then you may find that you need to avoid anything with sugar in (inc fruit) , potatoes & grains on a more of less ongoing diet as a part of life.
Basically just eat vegetables, meat & eggs, & don't drink anything with sugar (inc fruit juice) or milk, (or beer) for several weeks, you will also lose any fat that you might have about your person too.

A visiting guest read this post, and sent me the following:
~~~
I saw something posted and am not a member of your forum. She is treating the problem by treating it as a bacteria. Using drugs that kill bacteria will not do anything at all to kill fungus and that is the problem she has it is not a bacteria.
She needs to focus on anti-fungal not bacteria they are two different animals and if I understand her she is treating it incorrectly and wondering why no progress.
By the way the best fungal killer in the world is Vicks VapoRub.
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71yU%2BO3gdnL._SY450_.jpg
You have a fungus on a toenail? On the corner of your lip? Touch it there with the stuff and cover it. Smother in the stuff on your toes, feet, cover in socks and sleep for a week that way. Your feet will never look better and the fungus won't stand a chance. You waste your time trying the other stuff when this is readily available and works.
My wife treated a fungus on her toes for years Bill! Years! She was undergoing tests for blood and liver function and the drugs they gave her to remove a toe fungus changed the melanin in her skin making her get darker skinned but never killed that fungus! My mother told her about Vicks and she used it and in four days! Four damn days that fungus was gone! Throw that other prescribed stuff out and get you some Vicks and just watch.

I just bought the BETAINE HYDROCHLORIDE and empty capsules.
I came to know that I have low stomach acid. So I did a test for it in the morning. Which is half tea spoon of Sodium Bi Carbonate (backing soda) in a cup of water, first thing in the morning. If you burb after 5 minutes, then your low acid problem is severe. And I didn't burp at all. Did the test for 3 days.
So I made these Betain Hydrochloride capsules. And from last 4 days increasing them from 1 capsule before meal to 5 capsules and more.
Just after taking the first dose of one capsule next day my problem of rectal itching was gone. It is linked with Candida.
In past I used so much antibiotics, and painkillers because of salivary gland infection and stone; so I always knew I had to improve the flora of my gut. So now I have to find good brand of probiotics with different kinds of strains of bacteria.
I didn't knew about this Betain Hydrochloride supplementation before. But I knew that this HYDROCHLORIDE acid production can disrupt the whole cycle of HCL and NaOH production in liver and gut wall; when I learned that in school. What happens is, if gut secrets acid, then only bile is secreted by the liver and gallbladder in sufficient amounts. And bile is composed of NaOH. So its a base. And it neutralizes the acid to a certain degree. And biochemically when NaOH is produced HCL is produced, which will be used next time when you eat.
Taking Apple cider vinegar before meals makes your gut acidic enough to induce the upcoming chain of cycles in digestive system. In Indian people love eating GolGappas here. Most of the street vendors use Hydrochloric acid (muratic acid) used for washing toilets to make the water used for it. Some used Sulphuric acid (batter acid). I observed people eat these things after office before dinner. Maybe for some it is helping their digestive system or maybe disbalancing it too in some way.
So, if you don't have enough acid in your gut the food does not get treated with acid that kills bacteria. Later on base (bile) is added to it, which makes it more basic and friendly for harmful bacterial growth. And because the food is not treted with acids and enzymes needed its molecular structure doesn't break down and therefore instead of amino acids acids the proteins are leaked into the body via small intestine because of poor health of small intestine. This PH level of food in our digestive system plays role of inducing various valves and contractions and secretion of enzymes.
I recently searched the relationship between Low Stomach acid and Candia.
You only need Betain Hydrochloride to recycle the Hydrogen cycle in the biochemical cycle of body for the production of HCL and NaOH. I am not seeing any data on this discussed anywhere. But I knew this from my college days. But you will find people telling that you eventually reduce the intake of Betain Hydrochloride to one capsule and then to zero; because if you take more you feel little sensation in gut which is not like regular acidity.

Nattokinase will help break up the biofilm. Bromelain and papain also work, but not as well. Bad metals accumulate in the biofilm, so you will need to flush those out.

I looked this up and read that turpentine kills beneficial bacteria as well as harmful bacteria, making it questionable. Someone with Candida needs to build up beneficial bacteria in their bodies
A treatment style that has begun to be studied quite a bit recently is to add living beneficial single-celled fungus (candida is a multicelled fungus) into your gut in large quantities to compete with and displace the candida. There have been many successful trials in this direction and a few unsuccessful ones.
This style of treatment means you aren't having to kill off anything beneficial as a side effect and you don't have to ingest anything too weird. Saccharomyces Boulardii is usually the fungus of choice for such a treatment (but live brewers yeast - saccaromyces cerevisiae - has also been successfully used to treat candida). As mentioned by others diet is a major key, and no sugar or carbs without fibres! Another thing that should be considered that when candida has taken hold, your immune system is knocked down a little and other issues may be present, like other parasites, so a treatment with something like the Ayurvedic blend "Triphala" (natural lower intestine tonic and anti-parasitic) on the side might be beneficial as well.
I haven't had candida and cured it, but do know that people have cured their candida with Saccharomyces Boulardii, and there is some scientific research to support this approach with both strains mentioned.
Research paper with references on brewers yeast as a candida treatment: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5354225/
A forum anecdote from someone who cleared their candida with Saccaromyces Boulardii: https://www.thecandidadiet.com/forums/topic/my-story-a-godsend-called-saccharomyces-boulardii-33/
Possibly an angle to look at - especially if all else has failed.

I picked up an intestinal parasite, which went undiagnosed for around 6 years or so. My understanding is that intestinal parasites behave in the same way as candida - they thrive in the same conditions and parasites often lead to candida. I got rid of mine with castor oil and switching to vegan.

Yes. Cured it. Had a controlled diet even after the pure gum turpentine protocol. Things are getting out of whack a bit again, so I will be taking it every 4 days (4 doses over 16 days) again to maintain.

Candida exists naturally within us and serves a purpose within our microbiome. It's only when ideal conditions present itself, particularly heavy metal toxicity coupled with the seemingly countless ways we obliterate our symbiotic bacteria, does the body ALLOW it to proliferate and grow out of proportion.
Consider it a sort of last defense mechanism when the body can't properly detox itself for one reason or another, as it acts as a sort of buffer against the continued internal damage. At the same time, the Candida itself exacerbates other problems and causes hypersensitivity to foods/environment. This is why people who struggle for years with strict diets and powerful antifungal regimens never get completely better, and can relapse simply from falling off their diet a couple of times. It's because they've failed to address to problems that caused it in the first place.
It's really a balancing act about properly restoring the microbiome while systematically detoxifying the body. The diets are of course a good adjunct so as not to feed pathogenic organisms, but bombing them with potent antifungals(natural or synthetic) isn't really recommended, as it just puts more stress on the body.
A good resource to learn more about all this would be Dr. Klinghardt...

I have been using MMS, applied externally, to clear toenail fungus. It takes a while but the condition has been clearing (nothing else has come close in 20 years of trying). We have successfully been using MMS to treat a number of health issues. For instance, i have been fighting off this flu scourge the past couple of days using MMS and a water fast. If you are concerned about intenstinal flora being harmed, just take probiotics, such as in yogurt, to replenish.

Still working on it, but I am having a lot of success with the Candida Crusher program. You can find it by googling. He doesn't leave you on the meat and veggies only forever.
It's the most thorough program I've ever seen. It's over 700 pages of information - basically 30 years worth of specializing in yeast infections. He goes beyond diet and supplements.
The problem with Candida is that it can take a long time to clear it. I don't think you can ever go back to a "normal" diet if that is what you mean, because normal for most people is destroying their health, but you can go back to a less restrictive one once you are well.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CBTS_Stream/comments/7rjtus/an_introduction_to_sodium_chlorite_the_salt_that/
I will edit this as we go most likely...have copied from another post I made elsewhere.
The evidences are available online. Sodium Chlorite and whatever the illness is in a search bar, also mmstestimonials.is g2cforum.org cdautism.org.
SC is not a drug, it is a mineral salt. In recent years the corrup FDA has made anything that effects health or affects health as a drug, this includes all the previous non patent-able items like plants, minerals etc and under the new laws, a glass of water is a drug if it is given to one suffering dehydration. My bud Daniel is in prison right now for helping others heal standbydaniel.com If you're looking for the zillion dollars side by side blind tests etc, you won't find them and we're not doing them. Those tests are falsified by drug co's and are a way to keep us little folk out of the Health Industry.
Good names you can research on topic are Dr Andreas Kalcker, Kerri Rivera, Jim Humble though there's TONs of info trying to discredit Jim. I've worked with Jim. Kerri has 375 revered of Autism, Jim has 100K Malaria to his name alone. Jim worked for NASA and maybe Texas Instruments, I forget now. On the topic of Jim, he wrote many books, one other of interest is zero fusion atomic alchemy where he shows how to extract radiation from (sea) water.
SC is an oxidant and those who fear SC try and say oh Oxidative stress Oh the oxidative stress...but SC>CLO2 when hits stomach acid or acid of illness has a voltage potential of .95V, Oxygen and body voltage 1.25 V Hydrogen peroxide 1.8V and Ozone 2.03. The higher than body voltage can cause oxidative stress where as the .95 below body voltage can not. In fact SC>CLO2 selects pathogens and toxins below body voltage, below 7PH and therefore does not disrupt intestinal flora leaving immune system intact. There is no nutrition in SC it ONLY clears pathogens.
If you bought stabilized oxygen for camping to clear puddle/swamp/river water what you had was a 3% solution. SC or MMS as Jim likes to call it is 22.4%. It was Stabilized Oxygen in 1996 in S America that Jim used for his guides w/Malaria that opened the door to what we know now.
SC has been used in 911 for anthrax, US Mil uses for ebola, is patented at 2ppm for HIV and ALS. Is FDA approved for water purification and food production.
SC has the potential to bring down the entire Harmaceutical fraud and why they are after us. The Sylvi Fink case is a fraud, Brian Ross involved in hit piece on Daniel and team and post release Daniel has additional info that the corrupt obama judge would not let him have a defense which is against the rule of law, Dan will release this info post his release this summer I am told.
Some of us are off CONUS, some in prison, some in hiding...wikipedia is also compromised and has been since at least 2012, so ignore that BS, we tried a zillion times to correct the record...and its changed back to the bull that it is within 15 mins. We gave up trying to share truth thru Wikipedia in 2012. W
We also worked with the corrupt red cross in 2012. Search Red Cross Malaria on youtube for our and other docs on this where 154/154 confirmed cases of Malaria were eliminated in less than 48 hours. Later when Red X did not release their tapes/info and denied they had ever worked with us, then we knew Red X was corrupt and now today we learn the Red X is corrupt.
My team disbanded in 2015 and the website came down a year or so later but there are many sites that tell truth and many that don't.
So to tackle the fraud bit, SC>CLO2 is not bleach as wiki and others would have you believe. Bleach is Sodium Hypochlorite and is a bonding agent chemical. It bonds with the biology and creates a carcinogen. SC CLO2 however is a gas that literally pulls electrons from the molecule shell collapsing the pathogen into the waste tracks and eliminated.
The fix for Malaria 5 cents, the fix for Cancer as little as $5 2-3 weeks depends on type and extent.
One key Kerri and husband came up with is the sea water. Their facility was in Mexico before Kerri left for Eu 2014. While in Mexico it was discovered that sea water 1:3 fresh water has all the minerals a body needs that are correct minerals not the junk vitamins/minerals you buy at store which are often harmful...
treatment, very simple. Add 3-5 drops SC to a half glass of water before meals and bed. No coffee coconut water or anti oxidants. But do not start at 3-5. To start put 1 drop of SC in a plastic glass or clay container of water and drink from it during the day. Next day 2 drops and build up.Never use metal for SC.
Everywhere you will read to use acid. Citric acid creates citrates that make people react, don't use citric unless absolutely necessary. The better/best is HCL4% but again, don't use it for oral dosing. You won't find my protocol listed above on web for reasons mentioned prior. It is however the protocol that is the base of the tweaked Kerri method which was a tweaked Kalcker method.
I had suffered the symptoms of lyme disease for 44 years , yes 44 and in 2008 I was dying. Someone told me about SC/MMS and I tried it. In days the threat was gone and I could breathe thru R nostril 1st time in 15 years. Once healed in 2009, I could do things I'd never been able before including sweat which used to make me nauseous. Before SC I could work 2 hours a day. If I worked longer I would suffer for 10 days. After SC/MMS I could work 10 hr days day after day w/o issue.
I am about results and SC gve me and millions of others results when all the drugs did noting but manage symptoms at best. I got involved w/Jim/G2 only because I wanted the certificate to help others feel comfortable. To date I am still upside down in my investment in the schooling etc, but I've assisted many people recover from illness deemed incurable. Incurable only by the criminal elite FDA AMA Harmaceutical death wielding illness selling profiteer charlitons we have been brain washed into believing are looking out for us. They are not. They look after themselves and do their own tests which the FDA rubber stamps.
No deaths from SC. Can't say that about any of the synthetic drugs pushed on us today.
I am not here looking for adversaries, I offer what I have and do for others to get curious enough to do their own investigative searching. In short SC/CLO2 is Grade 3 Science and anyone who can add 3 -5 drops to a glass of water can heal almost any disease or illness. MS does not respond much. The simple addition of this FDA approved water purification salt can change the course of mankind and eliminate disease as we know it today for both man and animal.
For Spanish speaking people in the house, on Facebook the remnants of my old team, Greg has the protocols listed SCSinfo and continues to work in South America and off CONUS.
I also can assist in doubling lifespan info, C60/buckyballs, ORMES/ORMUS, monoatomics ir gold is another that assist the tellemeres. For those with little $, simple activated charcoal does amazing things as well.
Over the past few years I've done several radio spots on topics and the purpose of that and this is to encourage others to DIG in and find their own conclusions. I am alive today because of SC when Docs sent me home to die 2008.
To your Health and Well Being!

Lots of great posts... I've done a ton of research on Candida... and I still learned a lot of excellent tips just in these posts... there are many causes... it is not something to be underestimated... diet, amalgams, heavy metal toxicity, poor nutrition (especially trace minerals) lack of exercise (oxygen in the system) I don't think you should be eating a lot of meat... (and I'm not a vegan, just a "purist" i.e. anti contamination proponent...) It's not just a sugar issue... but a parasite growth issue... Dr Jennifer Daniels more recent videos are insightful, and there are many health experts with lots of good information who are totally onto this... the more I study it, the more complex and interconnected (like all health/biology issues are...) Cut back meat (it's loaded with antibiotics, hormones, and most meat is grain fed (bad fat profile, low omega 3s) Commercial dairy is especially not good for guys (too much estrogen, pasteurization killed all the healthy bacteria, the fats have been emulsified, contributing to leaky gut, etc...) And any flour based product is just garbage to your body... A diet of leafy green vegetables is the best foundation to start with... then add fermented food sources (think ethnic foods) probiotics, trace minerals... especially iodine, copper, zinc, magnesium, molybdenum...
Turpentine of course is a great way to launch the initial "attack" especially for acute symptoms... but it takes practice... I put 2mls from a dropper onto a tsp, and do 2-3 tsp... you have to have a clear gut... so do whatever you have to do to purge... i.e. epsom salts, oxy-cleanse, prune juice whatever... purge and fast a bit first, although I find the turpentine itself can be a powerful purgative... do it 4 days in a row... then twice a week after... I use an 'orange juice chaser' and have perfected sliding it off the spoon, and chasing it, in such a way... very little taste gets on my tongue (otherwise you will quit and not follow through...)
Detox is another critical factor... again think of Candida as a symptom, the tip of the iceberg... telling you to start paying better attention to getting more oxygen (exercise) more nutrition (a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals, with extra dose of trace minerals) add in fermented foods, probiotics... and get on a cleansing, detox protocol... You have to attack this thing holistically from all angles or the result will be negligible... and you will be disappointed... again... don't underestimate it... overestimate it...
Also look into bentonite clay, diatomaceous earth (detox and trace mineral source, clears out aflatoxins) and activated charcoal (clears out endotoxins, aka leaky gut byproducts escaping into blood stream) ... get serious... take time to do the research... and invest in as many of these high quality supplements as you can (yes I know... $$$$... ) that's why turpentine is a viable option because it is powerful, effective and cheap... but still you must look at the WHOLE ENVIRONMENT of your lifestyle and diet...
On the Diet front... leafy greens, garlic is good, to hold off sugar cravings it is perfectly fine to eat potatoes, boiled, baked with a LITTLE oil, herbs, no sour cream!(good vitamin, mineral spectrum) rutabaga (magnesium source) i.e. WHOLE food starches are not as bad as you might think, and guaranteed you can't just stop sugar cravings... (an addiction more powerful than cocaine...) so think substitutes, think of a management strategy... there is so much going on in leafy greens, it never ends.. but some are phyto nutrients, fiber, vitamins, minerals (like calcium+++ trace minerals) chlorophyll, it's a prebiotic for your probiotics, cleansing, etc, etc, etc...
Cut out or reduce by 80-90% your meat, dairy, ANYTHING w/ sugar and ALL flour based products (i.e. anything with processed flour, HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) also called many other names, like glucose-fructose, etc... and usually canola oil, (The BIG 3 garbage 'fillers'...) This alone slows down the whole candida paradigm... eat whole potatoes (with skin) or rice/brown rice, and start replacing it with a leafy green, vegetable based diet, also use olive oil, coconut oil, butter for your fats,
No shortcuts... you need a paradigm shift in your lifestyle basically... good luck... (my 2cents) ; )

I can't recommend these products enough:
https://www.canxida.com/

Have you looked into lufenuron? FWIW, both my mother and I tried this in 2012-13 and we are both still around as of 2018. I have also had another friend and his mother try it (both our mothers contracted cancer and my friend and I acted as guinea pigs) and they are still around too!
I forgot the place I bought if from, but this might have been it. I suggest to research it and see if it is for you.

No I've never heard of it. I prefer not to use a pharmaceutical. Thanks any way

Diet is the safest way I would have thought, it needs to be total & for long enough without cheating to really knock the candida back, and even then you may find that you need to avoid anything with sugar in (inc fruit) , potatoes & grains on a more of less ongoing diet as a part of life.
Basically just eat vegetables, meat & eggs, & don't drink anything with sugar (inc fruit juice) or milk, (or beer) for several weeks, you will also lose any fat that you might have about your person too.
I've heard a lot of controversy over eating fruit or not. Personally I find it very hard not to eat fruit after several days. I don't seem to notice a negative effect after eating fruit either.

I looked this up and read that turpentine kills beneficial bacteria as well as harmful bacteria, making it questionable. Someone with Candida needs to build up beneficial bacteria in their bodies

I saw something posted and am not a member of your forum. She is treating the problem by treating it as a bacteria. Using drugs that kill bacteria will not do anything at all to kill fungus and that is the problem she has it is not a bacteria.
She needs to focus on anti-fungal not bacteria they are two different animals and if I understand her she is treating it incorrectly and wondering why no progress.
By the way the best fungal killer in the world is Vicks VapoRub.

You have a fungus on a toenail? On the corner of your lip? Touch it there with the stuff and cover it. Smother in the stuff on your toes, feet, cover in socks and sleep for a week that way. Your feet will never look better and the fungus won't stand a chance. You waste your time trying the other stuff when this is readily available and works.
My wife treated a fungus on her toes for years Bill! Years! She was undergoing tests for blood and liver function and the drugs they gave her to remove a toe fungus changed the melanin in her skin making her get darker skinned but never killed that fungus! My mother told her about Vicks and she used it and in four days! Four damn days that fungus was gone! Throw that other prescribed stuff out and get you some Vicks and just watch.
Thanks. Vicks vapor rub can't be consumed orally though so I wouldn't be able to use it.
I made a mistake when I referred to candida as a bacteria. It starts out as a bacteria and in it's malignant form mutates into the fungus from what I understand

I just bought the BETAINE HYDROCHLORIDE and empty capsules.
I came to know that I have low stomach acid. So I did a test for it in the morning. Which is half tea spoon of Sodium Bi Carbonate (backing soda) in a cup of water, first thing in the morning. If you burb after 5 minutes, then your low acid problem is severe. And I didn't burp at all. Did the test for 3 days.
So I made these Betain Hydrochloride capsules. And from last 4 days increasing them from 1 capsule before meal to 5 capsules and more.
Just after taking the first dose of one capsule next day my problem of rectal itching was gone. It is linked with Candida.
In past I used so much antibiotics, and painkillers because of salivary gland infection and stone; so I always knew I had to improve the flora of my gut. So now I have to find good brand of probiotics with different kinds of strains of bacteria.
I didn't knew about this Betain Hydrochloride supplementation before. But I knew that this HYDROCHLORIDE acid production can disrupt the whole cycle of HCL and NaOH production in liver and gut wall; when I learned that in school. What happens is, if gut secrets acid, then only bile is secreted by the liver and gallbladder in sufficient amounts. And bile is composed of NaOH. So its a base. And it neutralizes the acid to a certain degree. And biochemically when NaOH is produced HCL is produced, which will be used next time when you eat.
Taking Apple cider vinegar before meals makes your gut acidic enough to induce the upcoming chain of cycles in digestive system. In Indian people love eating GolGappas here. Most of the street vendors use Hydrochloric acid (muratic acid) used for washing toilets to make the water used for it. Some used Sulphuric acid (batter acid). I observed people eat these things after office before dinner. Maybe for some it is helping their digestive system or maybe disbalancing it too in some way.
So, if you don't have enough acid in your gut the food does not get treated with acid that kills bacteria. Later on base (bile) is added to it, which makes it more basic and friendly for harmful bacterial growth. And because the food is not treted with acids and enzymes needed its molecular structure doesn't break down and therefore instead of amino acids acids the proteins are leaked into the body via small intestine because of poor health of small intestine. This PH level of food in our digestive system plays role of inducing various valves and contractions and secretion of enzymes.
I recently searched the relationship between Low Stomach acid and Candia.
You only need Betain Hydrochloride to recycle the Hydrogen cycle in the biochemical cycle of body for the production of HCL and NaOH. I am not seeing any data on this discussed anywhere. But I knew this from my college days. But you will find people telling that you eventually reduce the intake of Betain Hydrochloride to one capsule and then to zero; because if you take more you feel little sensation in gut which is not like regular acidity.
I use raw apple cider vinegar a lot. I'll look into the betain hydrochloride

I picked up an intestinal parasite, which went undiagnosed for around 6 years or so. My understanding is that intestinal parasites behave in the same way as candida - they thrive in the same conditions and parasites often lead to candida. I got rid of mine with castor oil and switching to vegan.
I've beena vegan for the past couple of years and primarily for vegetarian my entire life

No, a fungus does not, never, starts up as a bacteria to change later as a fungus.
A fungus starts up as a fungus, and remain a fungus throughout its life.
Bacteria and fungus are two entirely different bugs - well, animals bugging us lol. Therefore the treatment may differ.
Thanks Bill for the vic vaporub into, i wonder which ingredient in it does the job of treating fungus.

I'd not visited this thread for a while, and (sorry!) never realized there was a poll. So I've just added my vote to 'Yes I have had it and no longer suffer from Candida'.
My story was simple. Nearly 30 years ago I realized I had Candida, as all the symptoms were there. It all made sense, as I'd had a LOT of antibiotics when I was a kid. (OMG.)
So I consulted a specialist, who was a kinesiologist. That's how he tested me, and tested to confirm all the supplements I needed.
I can't remember what all the supplements were, but the main protocol I do remember is the diet: no sucrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, yeast, mushrooms, caffeine, or wheat.
That simply starves the Candida right out, because it lives on sugar (including fruit sugar!) and yeast. So that meant no
Fruit of any kind
Dairy products of any kind
Bread
Alcohol
Tea or coffee.
I basically ate meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, soya, nuts and rice: a kind of simple paleo diet (all non-dairy fats were fine). Almost nothing else. I kept that up religiously for 18 months.
I got to feel fantastically healthy (as one might imagine), and after that I was all clear, and have stayed that way. But after that, interestingly, I've never been able to consume even a tiny whiff of alcohol... I'm as sensitive (literally) as a baby. No harm there. :)
Rebecca
15th March 2019, 19:14
Thanks Bill for sharing your story.
I've heard some people say they've cured it while either certain fruits, others say they cured it while eating wheat... There's a lot of variations.
I actually haven't been having a lot of noticeable symptoms of it lately and have put trying to cure myself on the backburner.
I'm not sure if you saw my other thread that you've posted on or not... But I left my soon to be ex husband and finally got into a shelter about 2 weeks ago! My son and I are safe here but a whole lot of legal problems have to be dealt with and addressed now.
I know this is off topic, but I thought I'd tell you since you encouraged me to leave :) Thank you!

Just a personal anecdote, but last year, I finally recovered from a rather lengthy disease that ended up sneaking off with most of my hearing, among other useful things. It also ended up causing a pretty tough infection that took multiple antiobitics and surgeries to situate.
After recovery, I noticed I was quite lethargic, tired, and just mentally/physically “off.”
I ended up visiting an acupuncture/holistic physician that a lot of folks in the area rave about, and after a very detailed exam, I was informed I likely had an issue with the Candida fungus. I ended up taking a few different combinations of herbs along with weekly acupuncture treatments, and after about two months, I felt like I had the energy I had as a kid. It’s been a complete reversal of symptoms.
Again, totally anecdotal, but I’ve not felt this well considering in years.

Low carb no sugar diet is the first step.
Also many folks here have tried turpentine. 100% gum spirits of turpentine, don't buy turp at the hardware store it has been denatured which means it has had petroleum added.
This is the type I've used. Diamond G
You can order it on Amazon for like $20
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/413GiZX6JtL.jpg
One teaspoon on three sugar cubes, once every three days.
You need the sugar, you are using the sugar to entice the candida and then the turp gets them. :)
For what it's worth, I saw a youtube several months ago of a guy who cured it by doing the opposite of what people generally recommend -- he ate strictly high carb, NO FAT diet. I can't find the video now though.

My wife makes soaps and lotions and sells them at the farmer's markets in the area I live.
She made a really good muscle rub that was for all intents and purposes edible because it was coconut oil and beeswax based.
The difficult ingredient to get was the camphor crystals, because there are laws restricting their sale for some reason.
You have to buy Camphor from India, and you have to say you are using it for incense. Really weird.
I found that ingesting the muscle rub had a lot of positive side effects, it killed your appetite and gave a lot of excellent health benefits.

A: The active ingredients in Vicks VapoRub are camphor (a cough suppressant and topical analgesic), eucalyptus oil (a cough suppressant) and menthol (a cough suppressant and topical analgesic). The inactive ingredients in Vicks VapoRub include cedarleaf oil, nutmeg oil, petrolatum, thymol and turpentine oil. Just as a side note Vick's Vapor Rub has been denatured, it has had pertolatum added, do not eat Vick's Vapor Rub. Just making sure we are clear on that. :)
Also, strangely enough I've found that the camphor in Vick's vapor rub is synthetic and made from Turpentine strangely enough. So it appears we have come full circle here. :)
The synthetic camphor was tested and proven to deliver the same product benefits as the natural camphor for VapoRub.” The active ingredients in Vicks VapoRub are camphor, eucalyptus oil and menthol. They have been staples in this product for over 100 years.
Today, camphor is chemically manufactured from turpentine oil. It is used in products such as Vicks VapoRub. Camphor products can be rubbed on the skin (topical application) or inhaled. ... People use camphor topically to relieve pain and reduce itching.

I've had Candida problems for several years now and control it by having a very limited diet.
Has anyone here had experience with this life changing condition?
I've had systemic candida since a teen when my dermatologist put me on daily tetracycline for acne -- for 6 YEARS! I recently tried some "Nashville hot chicken" and it felt like the cayenne pepper was attacking the candida. Today I made up a bunch of cayenne pepper capsules, feels like it's doing something. Time will tell.

Candida is a fungus and it comes in various disguises.
Instead of a chemical or pharmaceutical drugs, I use herb formulas.
Like cancer cells, we all have them and the idea is to keep them under control.
We are all different and we react differently to fungus.
Some people have jock itch, athlete's foot, emotional roller coasters, blackness around the eyes, etc., while others don't.
Some cancers behave like fungus, and fungus and parasitic infection seem to augment each other.
Eating raw fish, which is common where I live, is definitely a no-no.
Beer, moldy cheese, chocolate (which has been fermented), or anything that lowers your immune system can proliferate candida in the human body.

Leaky gut is more like the result of big round worms which can make swiss cheese out of your intestines.
Candida is fungus, and some (not all) cancers behave like fungus.
Everyone is different, so the candida infections may go unnoticed, but the best cure (without any side effects) is probably herb combinations and homeopathy. Acidophilus will greatly help, needless to say.
Beer, moldy cheese, sugar, raw mushrooms, chocolate (which as been fermented) and other fermented foods can provoke itchiness, athleet's foot, jock itch, etc., but again, everyone is different.
I have a chronic fatigue issue, but it's more like due to chemtrails. Fungus and parasitic infections seem to augment each other, so use of wormwood is recommended on a regular basis.
One very interesting thing about fungus infection is, white people are more susceptible, while Asians seem to be more resistant to fungus infection. That's why you have to be careful when you buy Chinese herb medicine, because it almost always contains mushrooms (and other nasties you don't want to know). Brown rice was made popular by some macrobiotics from Japan, but it is the source of fungal toxin.

I don't have time to read the posts above so I don't know if this has been mentioned:
Hydrogen Peroxide - food grade - I think it is 30% so it's very strong.
Start with 1 drop in a full glass of water, taken on an empty stomach, preferably first thing in the morning.
Day 1 - 1 drop
Day 2 - 2 drops
Day 3 - drops, etc., until you reach the maximum
The safe maximum is 1 drop per 10 pounds of body weight so if you weigh 100 lbs, then your maximum should be 10 drops. Stay on your maximum, according to your weight, for 2 weeks and then reverse until you go back to 1 drop per day and keep taking it daily for maintenance.
If you start to feel nauseous then do not increase until the nausea stops, once the nausea stops, increase another drop. I hope this is clear.
Turpentine seems to work for many people. I tried it and it had very adverse effects on my digestive system but I could handle Hydrogen peroxide as described above with no problems. I felt very energetic once I'd done the cleanse. It kills fungi and bacteria and other pathogens but it does not kill good bacteria.
Eat fermented foods. Take probiotics. Eat fruit but only the low glycemic kind, like plums and apples. Avoid oranges, grapes and bananas as they contain a lot of sugar. Avoid all refined flours and processed foods. Avoid grains until the condition has cleared. Only old grains like millet, amaranth, buckwheat and brown rice are allowed, but even these should be consumed sparingly.
While vegan diets work for many, they do not work for me. If being vegan works for you, that is great! But you must avoid sugars wheat, potatoes, and anything which converts into sugar. You can do some research about which foods convert into sugar. All vegetables are good except potatoes.
Hydrogen peroxide is very potent stuff so make sure you don't get it anywhere near your eyes as it can burn them. If you get it on your hands, the affected part will turn white, but this goes away quickly. Make sure children do not go near it. Keep it in the freezer. Available at almost any health food store.
Good luck to you in finding the right solution. It's out there. I'm sure there is a lot of great advice on this thread beside the one in my post.

When I stopped eating sugar (grains, corn, corn syrup, maple syrup, et) the candida stopped in about 3 months. The fungus eats sugar thus you are starving it out. I didn't change my diet for that reason but noticed it was one oaf the many benefits of eating healthy. Also when I had chronic fatigue syndrome I had severe candida. Most people get it when they have a cold or flu (coated tongue) because our immune system is on overdrive or weakened. Thus you may have another issue that is primary and candid is a reaction.

I posted here a few days ago, and my posts keep disappearing. Help!
Among worms, parasites, virus, bacteria and fungus, fungus is the most tenacious and hard to get rid of.
Candida is fungus and its resembles (some) cancers in its behavior.
Like cancer cells, everyone has candida to a certain degree, and the question is to keep it in check.
There are herb combinations and homeopathy to deal with candida. If it's on the skin, you can use good quality essential oils, but the fungus comes from inside the body, and not just on the surface.
The symptoms include athlete's foot, jock itch, lines in the nails, deformed nails (toes and fingers), emotional swings, etc., and white people seem to be more prone than Asians.
That's why you have to be careful when you buy Chinese medicine from a Chinese pharmacy because the product almost always contains mushrooms.
By the way, if you see a few worms come out, don't think you have dewormed successfully.
Just like roaches, if you kill one, there are still 99 hiding in some places. Worms are the same way. Deworm regularly and never eat raw fish, among other things.

Billy, thank you. I'm not good at these things.
I will keep my posts as they are, because they contain somewhat different information.
Additionally, Hulda Clark zapper also helps.
Be it sugar or tea/coffee, it is difficult to keep its consumption down to zero.
In conjunction with another post about water fasting, we have to deal with:
fungus
viruses
bacterial
parasites
worms
and chemicals in the body.
Worms and fungi are very compatible with each other and they seem to thrive in a polluted environment (in a human), so that you need to deworm if you want to get rid of fungus, vice versa.
Viruses hide in a bacterium, and bacteria hide in a parasite or worm, so it's more efficient to kill bigger guys first.

I hardcore eliminated carbs and used anti fungal herbs, which did leave me experiencing die-off symptoms. I used the recommended probiotics which also resulted in dieoff symptoms. Finally I switched to a product called SF-77 which is a form of castor bean oil. That oil purportedly converts yeast back from fungal form so the immune system can deal with it. No die off symptoms and I think it works. I’m feeling much better now.

New Way to Kill Viruses: Shake Them to Death
By Michael Schirber | February 5, 2008
https://www.livescience.com/7472-kill-viruses-shake-death.html
"Scientists may one day be able to destroy viruses in the same way that opera singers presumably shatter wine glasses. New research mathematically determined the frequencies at which simple viruses could be shaken to death.
"The capsid of a virus is something like the shell of a turtle," said physicist Otto Sankey of Arizona State University. "If the shell can be compromised [by mechanical vibrations], the virus can be inactivated."
Recent experimental evidence has shown that laser pulses tuned to the right frequency can kill certain viruses. However, locating these so-called resonant frequencies is a bit of trial and error.
"Experiments must just try a wide variety of conditions and hope that conditions are found that can lead to success," Sankey told LiveScience.
To expedite this search, Sankey and his student Eric Dykeman have developed a way to calculate the vibrational motion of every atom in a virus shell. From this, they can determine the lowest resonant frequencies.
As an example of their technique, the team modeled the satellite tobacco necrosis virus and found this small virus resonates strongly around 60 Gigahertz (where one Gigahertz is a billion cycles per second), as reported in the Jan. 14 issue of Physical Review Letters.
A virus' death knell
All objects have resonant frequencies at which they naturally oscillate. Pluck a guitar string and it will vibrate at a resonant frequency.
But resonating can get out of control. A famous example is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which warped and finally collapsed in 1940 due to a wind that rocked the bridge back and forth at one of its resonant frequencies.
Viruses are susceptible to the same kind of mechanical excitation. An experimental group led by K. T. Tsen from Arizona State University have recently shown that pulses of laser light can induce destructive vibrations in virus shells.
"The idea is that the time that the pulse is on is about a quarter of a period of a vibration," Sankey said. "Like pushing a child on a swing from rest, one impulsive push gets the virus shaking."
It is difficult to calculate what sort of push will kill a virus, since there can be millions of atoms in its shell structure. A direct computation of each atom's movements would take several hundred thousand Gigabytes of computer memory, Sankey explained.
He and Dykeman have found a method to calculate the resonant frequencies with much less memory.
In practice
The team plans to use their technique to study other, more complicated viruses. However, it is still a long way from using this to neutralize the viruses in infected people.
One challenge is that laser light cannot penetrate the skin very deeply. But Sankey imagines that a patient might be hooked up to a dialysis-like machine that cycles blood through a tube where it can be hit with a laser. Or perhaps, ultrasound can be used instead of lasers.
These treatments would presumably be safer for patients than many antiviral drugs that can have terrible side-effects. Normal cells should not be affected by the virus-killing lasers or sound waves because they have resonant frequencies much lower than those of viruses, Sankey said.
Moreover, it is unlikely that viruses will develop resistance to mechanical shaking, as they do to drugs.
"This is such a new field, and there are so few experiments, that the science has not yet had sufficient time to prove itself," Sankey said. "We remain hopeful but remain skeptical at the same time." "

Abstract
Virus is known to resonate in the confined-acoustic dipolar mode with microwave of the same frequency. However this effect was not considered in previous virus-microwave interaction studies and microwave-based virus epidemic prevention. Here we show that this structure-resonant energy transfer effect from microwaves to virus can be efficient enough so that airborne virus was inactivated with reasonable microwave power density safe for the open public. We demonstrate this effect by measuring the residual viral infectivity of influenza A virus after illuminating microwaves with different frequencies and powers. We also established a theoretical model to estimate the microwaves power threshold for virus inactivation and good agreement with experiments was obtained. Such structure-resonant energy transfer induced inactivation is mainly through physically fracturing the virus structure, which was confirmed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. These results provide a pathway toward establishing a new epidemic prevention strategy in open public for airborne virus.
Introduction
In the past few decades, tremendous efforts have been made to kill airborne viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus or influenza viruses, which have caused catastrophic illness worldwide. Current airborne virus epidemic prevention to be used in public space includes strong chemical inactivation, UV irradiation, and microwave thermal heating. All these methods affect the open public. In 1980s, Robach et al.1 and Cerf 2 demonstrated that ultrasonic energy can be absorbed by viruses. In 2000, Babincová et al.3 hypothesized that viruses can be inactivated by generating the corresponding resonance ultrasound vibrations of viruses, which is in the GHz region. Based on this hypothesis, several groups started investigating the vibrational modes of viruses in this frequency range4,5,6,7. Recently we demonstrated that dipolar mode of the confined acoustic vibrations (CAVs) inside viruses can be resonantly excited by microwaves of the same frequency with a resonant microwave absorption effect8. The observed microwave resonance absorption phenomenon indicates a possible structure-resonant energy transfer (SRET) effect from electromagnetic waves (EM waves) to CAVs of viruses. Theoretically this SRET process is an efficient way to excite the vibrational mode of the whole virus structure due to a 100% energy conversion of a photon into a phonon of the same frequency, but the overall SRET efficiency is also related to the mechanical properties of the surrounding environment9, which influences the quality factor of the oscillator (virus). A study on the SRET efficiency to inactive virus is thus highly desired and it will determine if this SRET phenomenon provides a solution to inactivate airborne viruses in open public for epidemic prevention.
In this article, we show that SRET from microwave to virus can be efficient enough so that airborne virus was inactivated with reasonable microwave power density safe for the open public. To investigate the SRET efficiency from EM waves to CAVs in viruses, we first developed a theoretical model to describe the relation between the induced stress and the field magnitude of the illuminating microwave. Since the viruses could be inactivated when the induced stress fractures the structure of viruses, we propose to explore the SRET efficiency from microwaves to viruses through measuring the virus inactivation threshold. Based on the proposed model, we studied the inactivation ratio of influenza A (H3N2) virus at dipolar-mode-resonance and off-resonance microwave frequencies as well as with different microwave powers. Plaque assay10 was then applied to calculate the titer of virus samples before and after the microwave illumination. Our results indicate efficient SRET from microwave to viruses, which resulted in higher inactivation ratio of viruses at the dipolar resonant frequency. At the resonant frequency, the microwave power density threshold for H3N2 inactivation was found to be below the IEEE safety standard, also agreeing well with our developed theoretical model. The real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR) method11 was further performed to confirm that the main inactivation mechanism is through physically fracturing the viruses while the RNA genome was not degraded by the microwave illumination, supporting the fact that our studied SRET mechanism is fundamentally different from the microwave thermal heating effect. These results provide a pathway toward establishing a new epidemic prevention strategy in open public for airborne virus.
Modelling
From the transmission electron microscope images, people knew that the virions of influenza viruses are basically spherical balls packing genomes inside. Since the protein and genome have similar mechanical properties8, for the estimation of dipolar vibration frequencies, we treat the virion as a homogenous sphere.
Dipolar Mode of a Homogeneous Sphere
Due to the spatial confinement, not only electronic but also acoustic energy quantization has been observed in low dimensional systems such as quantum dots and nano-wires. In 1882, Lamb studied the torsional (TOR) and spheroidal (SPH) modes of a homogeneous free sphere by considering the stress-free boundary condition on the surface12. Among these modes, the SPH mode with allows dipolar coupling13 and the corresponding eigenvalue equation can be expressed as14,15:
where , is the spherical Bessel function of the first kind, ω is the angular frequency of the vibrational mode, R is the radius of the nano-sphere, cland ctare longitudinal and transverse sound velocities respectively. A comparison between the commonly observed breathing mode and the dipolar mode can be found in Supplementary online. the Since the dipolar mode of a nano-sphere cannot be detected by the light scattering experiments16, it was not observed until a previous study of the resonant excitation of dipolar mode through THz wave or microwave excitations17,18 when the core and shell of the nano-sphere have permanent charge separation. Once the resonantly oscillating electric field was applied to the nano-sphere, opposite displacement between core and shell was generated, thus excited the dipolar mode vibrations. Compared with the breathing () and quadrapolar () modes, dipolar mode () is the only SPH mode to directly interact with the EM waves whose wavelength is much longer than the particle’s size. Due to the permanent charge separation nature of viruses, in 2009, dipolar coupling with CAVs is confirmed to be the mechanisms responsible for microwave resonant absorption in viruses by treating spherical viruses as free homogeneous nanoparticles8,9.
Figure 1 shows the simulated displacement field of the dipolar mode (calculated by the finite element method, COMSOL Multiphysics, COMSOL, Inc.) of a homogeneous sphere (mass density and viscoelastic properties are constant throughout the sphere). We define the relative displacement direction of the dipolar mode as the z-direction, which will also be the field direction of the applied EM waves discussed in the next section. By plotting the displacement field of the x-z plane (y = 0) of the sphere, the opposite displacement between the core and shell regions can be clearly observed in Fig. 1(b). Meanwhile Fig. 1 (c) shows the side view of the distortion of the x-y plane of the sphere at different z locations, which concludes that the maximum distortion occurs on the equatorial plane (z = 0) of the sphere. Figure 1(d) shows the top view of the displacement field of the equatorial plane (z = 0). It is interesting to find out that the magnitude of averaged positive displacement (inner region) is 1.27 times the magnitude of the averaged negative displacement (outer region), while positive and negative displacements occupy 42% and 58% area, respectively. Furthermore one can find that the maximum magnitude of the displacement, occurring either at the very center or the outer surface of the equatorial plane, is approximately twice of the averaged magnitude of the displacement.

A Damped Mass-Spring Model
In this work, microwaves were applied to excite the dipolar resonance of the whole virus structure. By exciting the dipolar mode of the nanosphere, core and shell with opposite charge distributions would move in opposite directions and will resonate like a damped mass-spring system17. Our following analysis is similar to the Drude-Lorentz model describing the light-atom interaction, which connects a damped mass-spring system to the quantum-mechanical electronic resonant transitions. In the damped mass-spring system by adopting the reduced mass (m*) of core and shell in the analysis, the relative motion of the displacement can be shown in the following equation:
where z is the relative displacement between the core and shell; b is the damping coefficient, which is related to the surrounding environment; k is the effective spring constant of this system. By assuming z(t) proportional to exp(iωt), one can solve the complex angular frequency of the resonator as:
Therefore the decay rate of the oscillation equals to the imaginary part of the frequency (b/2m*), which corresponds to ω0/2Q19:
The intrinsic resonance angular frequency (ω0) of this system is (k/)0.5. Q is the quality factor of the resonator. From equation (4), stronger damping increased the energy transfer between the resonator and its surrounding environment, which decreases the confinement of the vibration and leads the lower Q. Now we approximate that a spherical virus is like a homogeneous sphere but with opposite and equal charges in the core and shell regions. When the oscillating electric field (cos) of microwaves is applied to the system, forced displacements would be induced with the same frequency as the applied microwaves. The equation of motion now needs to include the force induced by the applied electric field (qE), where q is the total amount of charge distributed in the core and shell region of a virus:
We describe the forced displacement as , where A is the amplitude of the forced displacement and is the phase delay between the displacement and the applied electric field. By solving the particular solution of this differential equation, one can obtain the phase delay and the amplitude of the forced oscillating displacement as
and
The instantaneous power absorption of this system is then described as the following equation, where v is the velocity of the oscillating motion17:
By integrating over one full cycle, one can obtain the average power absorption from the system:
Then the absorption cross-section of the virus can be obtained by setting the input power flux as with20
where is the relative permittivity in the system and c is the speed of light in vacuum.
Threshold to Fracture a Virus
With oscillating dipolar vibration to inactivate a virus, the most possible mechanism is to fracture the most outer surface of the equatorial plane (z = 0) due to the location of the maximum distortions, as illustrated in Fig. 1 (c,d). For influenza viruses, this corresponds to the lipid membrane of the envelope. To estimate the maximum induced stress on the equatorial plane, we divide the maximum induced force by the area of the shell region (defined by the moving direction in the approximate model) on the equatorial plane. Following above discussion, we found that the maximum induced stress is twice the average value and the shell region covers 58% of the equatorial plane:
If the required stress threshold to fracture a virus can be obtained, the threshold electric field magnitude of the incident microwaves can also be obtained by using:
Figure 2 shows the threshold magnitude of the incident electric field at different frequencies with different Q based on equation (12) with a fixed threshold value. One can observe that the minimum of the threshold electric field magnitude occurs when the applied frequency is closed to the intrinsic resonant frequency. Moreover cavity quality factor Q plays a major role. By changing the pH value of the solution, charge status of viral surface can be modulated, which affects the Q of the vibration. For example, previous studies indicated that the cavity Q of spherical viruses ranges between 2–10 by raising the pH value of the solution from 5.4 to 7.48. With increased Q, more energy can be confined inside the resonator, which leads to much lower microwave field threshold magnitude at the resonant frequency.

To experimentally study the efficiency of the SRET from microwaves to CAVs of spherical viruses, influenza A virus subtype H3N2 was used. H3N2 is a subtype of influenza A virus that causes flu. Such viruses can infect birds and mammals and are increasingly abundant in seasonal influenza, which kills an estimated 6309 people in the United States each year, including pneumonia and influenza causes21. Based on previous studies, the averaged mass and the diameter of the H3N2 virus are 161 MDa22 and 100 nm23. Here we approximate the structure of the virus as a nanosphere with a core-shell structure of opposite charge distribution. The shell (90% of the total mass) contains lipid, neuraminidase (NA), hemagglutinin (HA), and M-protein. The core (10% of the total mass) includes RNA and RNP. The reduced mass (m*) of virus is thus 14.5 MDa. From the literature24, force with 400 pN applied on the AFM tip can fracture the lipid envelope. Since the radius of the tip was 30 nm24, the threshold stress to fracture the shell was 0.141 MPa (). In order to calculate the threshold magnitude of the electric field to fracture H3N2 virus following equation (12), some important parameters such as q, Q and ω0 of the studied H3N2 virus has to be obtained by measuring the microwave absorption spectrum of viruses.
As shown in Fig. 3(a) we covered the structure of the coplanar waveguide (CPW) by the microfluidic channel with a 1.25 mm-long sensing zone (L) in order to measure the microwave absorption spectrum of viruses. This microwave microfluidic channel can provide a microwave bandwidth over 40 GHz. The measured results were summarized in Fig. 3(b). As the figure shows, the power absorption ratio (α) by the virus at the resonant frequency (8.2 GHz) was 21% and the Q was only 1.95 by measuring the full width at half maximum of the spectrum. Since the density of viruses (N) in the solution was 7.51014 m−3, experimental absorption cross section of the virus at the resonant frequency can be calculated by the equation below:
https://media.nature.com/m685/nature-assets/srep/2015/151209/srep18030/images/srep18030-f3.jpg
From equation (10), the theoretical absorption cross-section of the virus at the resonant frequency is:
By setting of the PBS at 8.2 GHz as 67.1325, = can be obtained by comparing equation (13) and equation (14).
So far, all parameters for estimating electric field threshold in equation (12) are obtained. By substituting threshold Pstress = 0.141 MPa, = , m* = 14.5 MDa, Q = 1.95 and ω0 = 2π × 8.22 GHz into equation (12), threshold magnitude of electric field to fracture virus at different frequencies of microwave can be calculated. The result is shown in Fig. 3(c). In order to compare with the following inactivation experiments, our estimated threshold magnitude of electric field at 6, 8 and 10 GHz are 103.3, 86.9 and 137.1 V/m, respectively. The minimum threshold occurs close to 8 GHz due to resonance, and sufficient internal stress to fracture virus can be expected to be more efficiently generated by weaker electric field.
Based on the IEEE Microwave Safety Standard, the spatial averaged value of the power density in air in open public space shall not exceed the equivalent power density of 100(f/3)1/5 W/m2 at frequencies between 3 and 96 GHz (f is in GHz)26. This corresponds to 115 W/m2 at 6 GHz, 122 W/m2 at 8 GHz, and 127 W/m2 at 10 GHz for averaged values of the power densities in air. Assuming all the microwave power in air 100% transmitted into a specimen, and by taking the dielectric constant of water 71.92 (6 GHz), 67.4 (8 GHz), and 63.04 (10 GHz)25 for calculation, this safety standard then corresponds to the average electric field magnitude of 101 V/m (6 GHz), 106 V/m (8 GHz), 110 V/m (10 GHz) inside the water-based specimens. It is interesting to notice that the required threshold electric field magnitudes at the resonant frequency (86.9 V/m) to fracture H3N2 viruses as shown in Fig. 3(c) are within the IEEE Microwave Safety Standard (106 V/m), indicating high SRET efficiency, even though the quality factor of the H3N2 virus is low.
Results
Virus Inactivation Experiments – Frequency dependency
To investigate the resonant effect, we first measured the residual viral infectivity of influenza A virus after illuminating microwave of different frequencies. As shown in Fig. 4(a), viral samples were placed below the horn antenna. The sponge under the sample was used to decrease the reflection of the microwave. To check the inactivation ratio, illuminated viruses were then analyzed by plaque assay to measure the residual infectivity of viruses. We compared the titer of illuminated viruses (Ntest) and the titer of unilluminated control sets (Ncontrol) to calculate the inactivation ratio (1 − Ntest/Ncontrol) at different frequencies between 6–12 GHz.
https://media.nature.com/m685/nature-assets/srep/2015/151209/srep18030/images/srep18030-f4.jpg
Based on Fig. 3(c), the field intensity threshold for inactivating H3N2 virus ranges between 86.9–236.3 V/m, which corresponds to 82.3–564 W/m2, for microwaves between 6 and 12 GHz. Since the aperture size of our horn antenna was 9.8 cm × 7.1 cm. The required threshold power input ranges from 0.57 W to 3.92 W for 6–12 GHz microwaves. We thus first applied 6.3 W (38 dBm) fixed microwave power, which is higher than all the threshold power input, into the horn antenna for the frequency dependency studies. After considering the transmission coefficient of our horn antenna, this experimental condition corresponded to 765 – 882 W/m2 average illuminated power density on the sample surface, corresponding to the field intensity inside the specimen of 260–296 V/m respectively. For 8–8.4 GHz microwave at the resonant frequency, the average illuminated power density was about 810 W/m2, equivalent to 273 V/m effective field intensity inside the sample. We thus expect to observe the inactivation effect throughout the studied spectral range. As been summarized in Fig. 4(b), a frequency dependent inactivation ratio can be observed in our experiments, with a peak located at the resonant frequency of the dipolar mode while higher than 50% inactivation ratio can be observed throughout the studied frequency range. At 8.4 GHz, the measured titer count was zero, indicating 100% inactivation ratio, which means that the remaining active viral concentration was smaller than the system sensitivity of 10 pfu/mL. This result indicates at least a three-order of magnitudes attenuation on the virus titer, when the microwave frequency was tuned to the dipolar mode resonant frequency with the electric field intensity 3 times higher than the threshold. The illuminated average power density was roughly 6.7 times higher than the IEEE safety standard for the 8–8.4 GHz cases. It is important to notice that the power density is proportional to the square of the field intensity.
Virus Inactivation Experiments – Power density dependency
To further investigate the efficiency of this SRET effect from microwave to virus and the threshold effect, we further measured the inactivation ratio of H3N2 virus with different power densities at the resonant frequency ~8 GHz of the confined acoustic dipolar mode. Our theoretical model predicted an inactivation threshold field intensity of 86.9 V/m, corresponding to an average microwave power density of 82.3 W/m2 in specimen. Since we assume all power can transmit from air to specimen, power density in air is also 82.3 W/m2, which is 1.48 times lower than the IEEE safety standard. Figure 5 (b) summarized the measured inactivation ratio for 4 different average microwave power densities of 820, 320, 82, and 51 W/m2 in air, corresponding to an effective field intensity inside samples of 274, 171, 87, and 68 V/m, respectively. It is noted that the experiment with 82 W/m2 in air was performed in a different experimental setup, as shown in Fig. 5(a). A significant threshold effect can be observed when the effective field intensity inside samples started to be on the order of or exceed the estimated threshold. A 38% inactivation ratio can be observed with a field intensity of 87 V/m, while the inactivation ratio dropped drastically to only negligible 6% with a slightly lower 68 V/m field intensity. With a 3 times higher field intensity than the threshold, the inactivation ratio saturated at a 100% value.

Discussions
Compared with the simple theoretical model for threshold estimation as summarized in Fig. 3(c), our result agrees qualitatively and surprisingly quantitatively. First, in our experiments, we observed a strong resonant effect on the virus inactivation ratio at the dipolar oscillation frequency of 8.4 GHz, thus indicating that the observed virus inactivation after microwave illumination was due to the proposed SRET from microwave to virus through dipolar coupling. Second, at the resonant frequency, we do observe H3N2 virus inactivation by illuminating 82 W/m2 (lower than the IEEE safety standard in public space) 8 GHz microwaves on our viral solution, corresponding to an average 87 V/m electric field intensity inside the solution, confirming that our proposed simple model to estimate the field threshold (86.9 V/m) to structurally fracture the virus is quantitatively correct, especially combining the observed threshold effect as discussed above. With a low resonator quality factor (around and less than 2 for H3N2), we also observed virus inactivation in off-resonant frequencies (6-12GHz), following a trend predicted with our model. However for off-resonant frequencies, the simple harmonic oscillator model seems to always estimate a lower threshold in the Stoke-side (lower-frequency-side) of the resonant frequency than the anti-Stoke-side (high-frequency-side). For example, at DC (0 frequency) it still predicts a relatively low threshold field magnitude to fracture the virus. This is different from our observation. We observe that the anti-Stoke-side is with a better inactivation ratio than the Stoke-side, and the source for disagreement should be the over-simplification of the adopted model.
Our result regarding the efficient SRET to inactivate virus with a low microwave power has a profound meaning. As we introduced, in the past few decades, tremendous efforts have been made to kill airborne viruses such as SARS or influenza A, which have caused catastrophic illness worldwide. Active airborne viruses are always transported inside tiny water droplets, thus similar to our experimental condition. A strategy for airborne virus epidemic prevention in open public is thus highly desired. Our finding represents the first possible mechanism to inactivate airborne viruses without affecting the open public, since the required microwave power could be within the IEEE safety standard. Comparing this work with traditional microwave thermal inactivation, previous works27,28 used a microwaves oven with more than 100 W to heat the phage suspension. The inactivation ratio could reach almost 100% by increasing the temperature of the phage suspension to 80 °C. In our case, 100% inactivation were achieved with 6.3 W (38 dBm) as the input power into the horn antenna at 8.4 GHz. A power reduction by more than a factor of 15 is achieved. It is however not possible to directly compare the irradiating power density, since the irradiating area was not provided in previous literatures. Nevertheless our work still shows sharp contrast to current methodologies, including strong chemical inactivation, UV irradiation, and microwave thermal heating with 100 W microwave power27,28, which are not safe for the open public.
A previous study29 has shown that to inactivate human H3N2 viruses through thermal heating, the temperature need to be higher than 55 °C. Compared with the 82 W/m2 radiated microwave power density (0.63 W required power input) in our resonant inactivation case, the current microwave thermal heating method to inactivate virus usually requires more than 100 W microwave power at 2.45 GHz27,28, which is way beyond the safety standard, in order to raise the sample temperature to be higher than 60 °C for protein denature. It is known that the microwave thermal heating has a weak frequency dependency between 6–12 GHz, and this is not the case for our frequency dependent result as shown in Fig. 4(b). To confirm that our observation is not due to the microwave thermal heating effect, we had monitored the sample temperature change during the microwave illumination experiments with a radiated power density of 486 W/m2 at a frequency of 6 GHz by using an infrared thermal imaging camera with a temperature accuracy of 0.05 °C (CHCT, P384-20). The temperature rise after 15 minutes radiation was 7 °C, from 27.5 °C up to 34.5 °C. We thus exclude the possible contribution of microwave thermal heating effect to inactivation H3N2 viruses under our experimental condition.
To double-confirm our proposed mechanism that the inactivation was through physically fracturing the structure of viruses, we established a fractured virus model by freezing the virus samples with liquid nitrogen and thawed immediately and repeated several times. We then preformed real-time RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) experiment for RNA amplification in order to compare the results after microwave illumination with the established fractured-virus model. Without protein denature, the established fractured-virus model allowed the viral RNA content to be extracted after fracturing. We then performed the RT-PCR experiments to amplify the extracted viral RNA after fracturing either through the frozen fracturing model or after microwave resonant irradiation. Figure 6(a) summarized our results. The applied average microwave power density was 320 W/m2, the microwave frequency was tuned to the dipolar mode resonant frequency of 8.35 GHz, and the illumination time was 15 minutes. To avoid possible existing viral RNA in solution before the microwave illumination, we pretreated the virus samples by adding RNase to degrade the existing RNA outside the viral particles. As can be revealed in Fig. 6(a), the control fractured-virus model (shown as “control”) showed the same RNA amplification trend with excellent quantitative agreement with the RNase-pretreated samples after microwave resonant illumination (shown as “pretreat”). Obvious increase of copies in PCR can be observed after cycle 15. We have also performed two post-treat groups to double confirm the effect of the RNase. For post-treat groups, RNase was added right after the microwave resonant illumination. Even if the virus particles were fractured, the released RNA would be degraded by RNase, we did not expect to detect the viral RNA. As been also confirmed by our RT-PCR experiment as shown in Fig. 6(a), we were not able to detect the signal of RNA for the post-treat groups even after 45 cycles.
https://media.nature.com/m685/nature-assets/srep/2015/151209/srep18030/images/srep18030-f6.jpg
Since all the RNAs outside the virus surface in the solution were eliminated before the microwave illumination, for the pretreat samples the only way to detect the RNA signal after the illumination was to fracture the virus so that the RNA can be released. This result was also in good agreement on the amount of amplified RNA in the control cases. These facts confirmed that the inactivation of viruses by illuminating microwaves at the dipolar mode resonant frequency was through physically fracturing the lipid-envelope of the influenza virus without denaturing the viral RNA.
To show that the investigated SRET effect can be applied to deactivate viruses other than H3N2, we have also performed the real-time RT-PCR experiment on H1N1 virus. The result was shown in Fig. 6(b). The applied microwave frequency was 7 GHz, while the applied average microwave power density was 308 W/m2, corresponding to an effective electric field of 167 V/m inside the specimens. The rest of the experimental conditions were the same as that of Fig. 6(a). Similar results can be observed, indicating that the same SRET induced inactivation effect can also occurs in virus other than H3N2.
In summary, we investigated the structure resonance energy transfer from microwave to CAVs of H3N2 virus in water-based solution. The efficiency of such energy transfer was investigated through exploring the virus inactivation ratio. Based on the proposed damped mass-spring model and the experimentally measured microwave absorption cross-section of a single virus, threshold magnitude of electric field to fracture viruses at different illuminated frequencies can be estimated. After the illumination by the microwave, the plaque assay experiment indicated that the inactivation ratio reaches its maximum at the resonant frequency of the dipolar resonance. The real-time RT-PCR experiment double confirmed that the main inactivation mechanism was through physically fracturing viruses without degrading viral RNA genome. This work not only theoretically and experimentally demonstrates a new energy transfer mechanism between EM waves and viruses, but also indicates an efficient SRET effect. Our results have important implications for the interaction between microwaves and biological tissues, which is a highly concerned public issue. With an observed inactivation threshold with a microwave power density within the IEEE safety standard, the demonstrated SRET mechanism also provides a pathway toward establishing a new epidemic prevention strategy in open public for airborne viruses.
Methods
H3N2/H1N1 Sample Preparation
To prepare the H3N2 and H1N1 virus samples, Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were confluent grown in 75 cm2 flasks, inoculated by influenza A virus H3N2 (H090103, NTU Hospital) or H1N1 (NTUH135/2009, NTU Hospital) with multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.01 and incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 2–3 days. When the cytopathic effect (CPE) of the inoculated cells reached to 3 + (75%), we harvested the viral supernatant. The viruses were aliquot and stored at −80 °C for further use.
Microwave Absorption Spectrum Measurement
The microwave absorption spectrum measurement was performed by combining the coplanar waveguide (CPW) circuit with a microfluidic channel. As shown in Fig. 3(a), we covered the structure of the CPW by the microfluidic channel with a 1.25 mm-long sensing zone (L). The gap between the signal electrode and the ground electrode of the CPW was 25 μm. In order to decrease microwave loss on the electrodes, the gold layer thickness of the electrode was 1.2 μm. On the surface of electrodes, we grew a thermal isolator layer of silicon dioxide on the sensing zone by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) to lower the temperature rise of fluids due to microwave dielectric heating30. We then used a network analyzer (Anritsu, MS2028C) as the source to measure the absorption spectrum of H3N2 viruses from 6 GHz to 14 GHz. The virus particle density in the solution was 7.5 × 1014 m−3. The spectrum of the solution without viruses was first measured as a reference; solution with viruses was later measured. By removing the solution background, the microwave absorption spectrum of H3N2 viruses in solution was thus obtained (Fig. 3(b)) following a procedure similar to ref. 8.
Microwave Illumination Measurement
In our experiments, we used two different microwave sources, depending on the utilized microwave power: a network analyzer (Anritsu, MS2028C) or an Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) oscillator. Then the microwave signal was amplified by a power amplifier (QPJ-06183640) and radiated from the horn antenna (ELECTRO-METRICS, EM-6969). The aperture size of the antenna was 9.8 cm × 7.1 cm. To avoid damage on oscillator and amplifier caused by back reflection, we added an isolator and a directional coupler. All the microwave systems were put in a P2 class flow hood. The antenna was directed toward the bottom (Fig. 4(a)) or the side (Fig. 5(a)) of flow hood and the microwave was normally incident on either microscope slides (Fig. 4(a)) or acrylic cuvettes (Fig. 5(a)) at a distance of 5 cm below the exit of horn antenna. To avoid large reflection from the metal hood surface, the microscope slide or cuvette was put in a plastic dish supported by a broad band pyramidal absorber. For each measurement, the viral solution (7.5 × 1014 m−3 particle density) under illumination was drop on the slide and covered with a cover glass or was contained inside the cuvettes. Under such an experimental geometry, we illuminated viruses for 15 minutes at various microwave frequencies or at various microwave powers. After illumination, we used buffer to wash-down and collect the viruses, which introduced a 10-fold dilution of virus concentration. Then the illuminated viral solutions, together with the control sets were sent for plaque assay.
Quantitative Plaque Assay Analysis
To measure the activity of viruses, we employed a quantitative plaque assay. The MDCK cells used for plaque assay were grown in 6 wells plates by adding 3 mL of cells (2 × 105/mL) to individual well. After confluent growth of MDCK cells in plates, the cells were successively washed with phosphate buffer saline (pH 7.2) and Eagles’ MEM with 2 μg/mL TPCK trypsin. After washed, 100 μL of the ten-fold serial dilution of viruses were added into each well. For better virus adsorption, the inoculated cells were incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for one hour. After then, the virus inoculums were removed and the Eagles’ minimal essential medium with 2 μg/mL TPCK trypsin and 0.5% agarose was added. After the gel formation, the plates were put in a 5% CO2 incubator for at least 42–48 hrs. After incubation, the plates were fixed with 10% formalin for 1 hour. After pour off agarose, the fixed cells were stained with crystal violet for 15 min and washed with tap water. Below certain virus concentration, the plaques wouldn’t overlap each other seriously and can be counted unambiguously. Considering the corresponding dilution factor, the plaque forming unit per mL (pfu/mL) of the original virus can thus be quantified. The titer measurement will be performed three times on the same sample to reduce quantization error. Quantified by the plaque assay, the concentration of active viruses in our prepared viral solutions was around 107/ml for H1N1 and H3N2.
Real-time PCR Analysis
The sample RNA was extracted and amplified by the RT and quantitative real-time PCR (Primerdesign Precision OneStep™ qRT-PCR Mastermix) with primer AMF (sequence: 5′-GAGTCTTCTAACCGAGGTCGAAACGTA-3′), primer flu-AR (sequence: 5′-CAAAGCGTCTACGCTGCAGTCC-3′) and flu A (5′-FAM-tttgtgtttacgctcaccgt-TAMRA-3′) probe. For control group, RNase was added for 10 minutes digestion and stopped with RNase inhibitor. Then viruses were fractured artificially by freeze-thaw treatment. We thus were able to observe that the RNA signal of virus rose after 15 cycles of the amplification. For pre-treated groups, the RNase treatment were done and stopped before 8 GHz microwave illumination in order to make sure that RNA outside the viral envelope was eliminated in the first place. For the post-treat groups, RNase was added right after the illumination. If the virus particles were fractured, the released RNA would be degraded by RNase.

I've heard the theory that you have to scrape Candida out of your digestive tract by eating lots of high fiber food such as brown rice, while also taking probiotics. Nobody with Candida issues should consume wheat or gluten.

Brown rice was touted as a "cure-all" by the extremist Japanese macrobiotics.
But in reality, brown rice is loaded with aflatoxin.
There are articles on certain probiotics doing more damage, and I would just stick to acidophilus.
Candid cannot be reduced to zero, just like parasites and worms who always manage to sneak into your system through food and air. The issue is to keep them under control, exactly like cancer cells which everyone has.
Avoid extremes like vegans and enjoy foods and drinks (with moderation).

Rice is one of the few foods that nobody is allergic or sensitive to; it's the basis of the elimination diet. There's nothing extreme about eating rice, white or brown. Most of Asia eats it daily. Visit an Asian-American and you'll probably see a 25-pound bag of rice in their kitchen. Don't let it get wet and you won't have to worry about aflatoxin.

"Aflatoxins (AFS) are toxic and carcinogenic fungal metabolites. Aflatoxin B1 is the most toxic and has been classified as a Group I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Samples of imported rice were analyzed for their AFS content. Finley ground rice subsamples were extracted with water/methanol (100:150 v/v) followed by purification with Immunoaffinity columns (IAC). AFS purified from extracts were determined with RP-HPLC-FLD using post column electrochemical derivatization with a Kobra Cell. Concentrations of aflatoxin B1 and total AFS in test rice samples were ≤ 0.123 and ≤ 2.58 µg/kg, respectively. Tween 80 improved recoveries (86 and 106%) of aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin G1 from brown rice. Recoveries of Aflatoxin B2 and aflatoxin G2 were substantially reduced (non-detected to 27%) by Tween 80 used in IAC cleanup of brown rice extracts. Visible dense growth of Aspergillus parasiticus (food isolate) occurred at 25°C but higher aflatoxin B1amounts (23.9-39.3 µg/kg) accumulated when the mold grew at 37°C in rice seeds stored for three week. It could be concluded that levels of aflatoxin B1 and total AFS in rice samples were within the permissible amounts of the EU and other international legislations."

Due to tetracycline as a teen, for acne, I have had candida my whole life, although I didn't realize until 10 years ago. I have already reported that cayenne reduced candida prostate infection. Now I'd like to report that xylitol kills candida in the gut. You can buy a bag of it on Amazon and use it instead of sugar. If you have gut candida, you will probably experience severe anal itching for several days as they are killed off.
I would now like to take (anonymous) credit for 3 folk cures that I have discovered in my life. First was that apples cure acid reflux, which I discovered in the late 60s. I told people about it for decades and now it is becoming almost common knowledge. Second was a recent discovery that cayenne reduces candida infection in the prostate. Third was very recent, that xylitol kills candida in the gut. As Adelle Davis said, you will know when you're killing candida in your gut due to the itching.

From email update today for documentary series called "Gut Solution"
11/7/19
"According to a recent study from Rice University, 70% of all people are living with an overgrowth of Candida!
Candida is a contributor to many health afflictions, especially obesity. Here’s why:
Candida creates toxic conditions in the body that fuel weight gain and make it nearly impossible to shed unwanted pounds
Overgrowth of Candida causes us to feel tired and lethargic. Just getting through the day can be a challenge and finding the energy and motivation to exercise is extremely difficult!
Candida manipulates our appetite, making us crave high-sugar foods—the very items we must avoid to lose weight!
Candida overgrowth is common, but it’s not normal. And it’s definitely not healthy!
Not to mention, a weight loss regimen that does not include a protocol for getting Candida down to desirable levels is doomed to fail.
Fortunately, the experts on our panel have extensive experience with helping people resolve Candida issues and attain a healthy, sustainable weight.
In our next episode, we’ll take an in-depth look at the Candida problem and teach you how to heal your body with natural and effective protocols.

I have had candida a few years back. Black walnut extract did the trick for me and it worked very quickly. Unfortunately I kept having digestive problems and later I found out I had celiac disease (which probably caused the candida). Since then I have to follow a very strict gluten free diet. Because I have had celiac disease for so long without knowing, my digestive system has weakened and is very easily off balance. If I have not had enough sleep or I have too much going on in my head I have light problems that resemble the problems I have when I accidently ingest gluten, but not as heavy. So for me, probiotics are a necessity, I need to take them regularly.
So if you have symptoms that are related to candida, I would advise to always check if you have a gluten intolerance. Sometimes that could be the cause of the candida in the first place. Which makes sense, because when your digestion is bad, you are malnourished and because of that you crave more food, especially food that is high on sugar, because that gives you energy boosts and make you feel less tired for a short while. That in turn is the best invitation to candida.

Hi all,
There is a product call 'Kolorex' out there. It is exceptional. There are 60 tablets in the bottle. It takes a while to build off the kill off but take it for 2 months and in the last month. Get a good gentle laxative, drink plenty of water to flush out. Try a bone broth for a week only fast towards the end. This really helps beyond candita. I also employed CST or Cranial Sacral Therapy with it which totally disarmed my body from the nerve level with a very high level practitioner (www.upledger.com) which also aided me energetically in the region to really do all levels. I suggest a full invested approach.
I am very proactive on my gut. Our dreaming body leaves via the sacral chakra region and i work in those realms alot. The human potential is where that is. Not in this reality. Hence, there is an effort to mess with people on that level limiting the energy in our body's to fully work. As, it takes a great deal of energy resources to do so. I don't want to get into all that...just enough to aid you seeing the relationship. I followed the above myself towards the end of our winter down here in AUS (as fasting during winter not ideal) and i lost about 7-8kg in one week. I am very fit, do alot in that way to maintain my energy, recovery from psychic stuff as i do alot in those realms to. I do things like colonics, had been working on my gut region for over a year. Took this stuff called AIM 'Herbal Fibre Blend' that also worked on a snow plough for my lower intestine also. But the above really fully completed everything. It is worth the effort for how amazing you feel guys.

In our dental practice we saw a distinct factor associated with most people that had this going on in their mouth or body. Without exception but for maybe one case I can think of that was a special needs child all of these cases were people that simply were dehydrated. Their skin, their nails, the lips all showed the signs of this drying out taking place before the candida set in had they caught it. Most were cured by simply drinking 6 sixteen ounce waters per day over a period of a week or so, some longer but once the cells start rehydrating with pure water the body can kick in and do it's job. Most of you are probably dried out and need water. You drink but it's probably coffee, or tea, or pop, soda whatever you call it where you live but knock it out, put the water in and see if that doesn't help your situation.

I wish I could drink more water, but lots of times water does not quench my thirst. And when I do drink it, in such circumstances, I pee it right out almost immediately. However, if I drink something with sugar, such as juice or soda, my body stores that fluid instead of just excreting it immediately.

However, if I drink something with sugar, such as juice or soda, my body stores that fluid instead of just excreting it immediately.
Here in Dubai we have desalinated water. In this “pure” form it does not have enough mineral content to quench thirst or rehydrate the body. Because of the extreme heat here in summer, relying on this water for rehydration would be ineffective and a serious health risk.
So, we need to either buy bottled water (thankfully reasonably priced) or some people add minerals to the water. Another thing many people do is to add to water the rehydrate powders and tabs usually intended for sports or for patients with diarrhoea.
We also have a very good product from Japan called Pocari Sweat (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocari_Sweat). It’s really excellent for rehydration:
Pocari Sweat is a mild-tasting, relatively light, non-carbonated sweet beverage and is advertised as an "ion supply drink", "refreshment water" (1992), "body request" (1999), and "electrolyte beverage" in Thailand. It has a mild grapefruit flavor with little aftertaste. Ingredients listed are water, sugar, citric acid, trisodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium lactate, magnesium carbonate, and flavoring.[1]
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6f/Pocari_Sweat_logo.png
If not available where you are, a pretty good substitute could probably be made by adding a little salt, grapefruit juice (which has potassium) and stevia/maple syrup/honey as needed for taste to water.

Keep rehydrating - it’s good for you 👍

Chapped lips maybe? How do your gums look? Nice and red and healthy or do you have dry mouth!? (Not those of you on a drug that brings it on please) All these areas are tells as stated earlier. If you are drying out you make yourself prone to it becoming something worse. No one is asking anyone to overdose on water! Just add it to your daily routine by itself nice and pure. It also helps with asthma and breathing and as we've learned here on other threads, water is alive! Talk to it! Ask it to bless you and heal you with beauty, balance and peace in every cell before drinking it and watch what happens. As it turns out there appears to be ample proof we change water or that it changes for us upon thought impressions placed upon it! Holy water exists in other words! Make use of it! What have you got to lose?

Is there any evidence of this? Are there any testimonials? I normally drink 100 ounces a day of water, minimum, and I got candida. As I type this I am on my sixth day of a water fast (my second one this year) and I still have candida.
How much water does one have to drink and for how long to rid the body of candida????

I had systemic candida.
Athletes foot, enlarged prostate, lower back pain, arthritic hands and short term memory loss (couldn't remember peoples names).
Had to figure it out on my own since I knew the allopathic route would be disaster.
Went to a raw greens diet for a week straight. Broccoli, celery, asparagus, kale, spinach, water, etc.
Prostate back to normal by the second day.
Have been on alkaline diet since and haven't been sick for the past 10 years.

Gallium Nitrate diluted to 1% kills Candida. Friend of mine used and said it was the best thing he had ever tried.
But be sure to dilute it to 1% or it would kick you ass.

A friend with Leukemia said he had Candida ... and it was hard to kill.
I was using Gallium Nitrate 14% version for knee and hand pain.. reading the suppliers webpage I came across his claims that it killed Candida.. but one has to dilute it to 1%.. taken orally. So I passed it on to him.
Later he wrote and said it worked better than anything he had tried... but it kicked his ass harder than anything else..
He said, "You really had to reduce it to 1%"

I calculated 17.5 drops of Gallium Nitrate in 8 oz of coffee or water diluted it to 1%.
I have been drinking it on a regular bases.. with no side effects...
Your mileage may differ however...
Only known source is GalliumNitrate.com
43% version is for horses knees.. order the 14% for humans..
