Can You Get Rid of Candida With Diet Alone or Should You Also Take Antifungals, Probiotics or Supplements During Your Cleanse?

A question we often get is, "should I take antifungals, probiotics or supplements while doing a candida cleanse?" Or "I want to beat candida through diet alone & without taking anything extra. Is this possible?"

And the answer to that is yes. You can beat candida with diet alone. 

But it’s hard. REAL HARD.

And we can tell you right now – it DOESN’T HAPPEN in the vast majority of cases. 

If you've got moderate to severe candida you won’t get rid of it with diet alone. You also won't get rid of it with supplements alone. You need to do BOTH diet & supplements if you want long lasting recovery.

Listen: You may be able to lower your amount of candida using diet alone but to truly clean up the gut you need high doses of natural antifungals that'll wipe out the root of the overgrowth. Things like aged garlic extract, grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil & more.

You’d have to go on a hardcore diet to get adequate doses of all these from food. So hardcore you’d irritate your digestive system so much you’d throw your beneficial bacteria off balance and start to get problems.

We didn't always have this approach.

We told patients with candida to go to health food stores. We told them to buy anti-candida foods like organic garlic, ginger & coconut. We told people to focus on whole foods & not rely on supplements.

And it didn't work. The candida wouldn't go away.

People just got overwhelmed with the amount of stuff they had to eat.

Diet alone doesn’t work for most people. We’ve seen people eat the most amazing diets. Stuff like ten cloves of garlic plus big chunks of ginger & turmeric each day. Yet when we did a stool test they still had candida.

Same goes for supplements alone. It won't work. You can't take a pill and say bye-bye candida.

What Works Better For Candida Yeast Infections – Natural Supplements Vs Antibiotics Vs Antifungal Drugs

The answer is – natural medicine supplements.

We’ve done lots of research on natural remedies. And one thing we discovered (from our surveys) is about 70% of patients with moderate to severe candida have NEVER actually tried to get rid of it using natural methods.

Don't worry about antifungals vs probiotics. We'll get to those in a minute. 

Many people think “that natural stuff doesn’t work” & that the only options they’ve got are drugs like antibiotics. Or "why should I take a natural product for IBS? Are natural products really going to work?"

There's several reasons why we ONLY recommend natural remedies for candida yeast infections.

The key reason is because natural methods don't harm your beneficial bacteria. They let you take out the yeast without harming the "good guys" or causing damage to your internal environment. It's the difference between using a sniper rifle and a nuclear bomb. A nuclear bomb is something like an antibiotic.

Another benefit of natural medicine is resistance doesn't occur with natural ingredients.

That happens with drugs. This has been confirmed many times with studies done on things like grapefruit seed extract, caprylic acid, undecenoic acid, clove, and other natural antifungals. 

Resistance just doesn’t happen. It happens with pharmaceutical drugs because they're synthetic. They’re made up of one ultra refined chemical with a narrow band of action. So once yeast develops a resistance to this action, the pharmaceutical drug is done.

Remember, candida is very adaptive. If you only hit them with one action it will soon work out how to fool this action. And you know what happens next. The drug no longer works and the symptoms comes back. And then you go back to the doctor who puts you on a new drug and the cycle repeats.

Natural medicines are different. Each herb or plant extract doesn't contain just one thing. They can have many different antifungal compounds within one plant. They attack candida from different angles so the yeast gets overwhelmed & dies before it has a chance to adapt.

And as you'll soon see, the natural stuff is no less effective then the synthetic stuff.

Natural Antifungals vs Probiotics – Which Should You Take For Candida?

The answer is BOTH.

Many people believe if you take a probiotic and antifungal together, the probiotic is going to be canceled out by the antifungal product. This is not true. 

In fact they work better together, not against each other. Particularly if you take an antifungal that contains only natural ingredients. Such as aged garlic extract and oregano oil. Because as we learned previously, natural medicine doesn't harm beneficial bacteria. It only harms yeast, bad bacteria & parasites.

You don't even need to take antifungals and probiotics apart. You can swallow both at the same time.

That way as the antifungal travels through your digestive system clearing away the overgrowth, the probiotic is right there & REPLACES them with the exact beneficial bacteria that keeps the yeast from coming back.

Can you take probiotics only and ignore antifungals? 

You can but you'll slow down your recovery. The whole point of taking supplements for candida is to speed up your recovery. There's no reason to only choose one. Sure you'll save a bit of money but is it really worth it if it means having to deal with candida symptoms for an extra 2 to 6 months? We don't think so.

You’ll get better results if you take both.

How to Choose an Antifungal Supplement for Candida That Actually Works

When choosing an antifungal, go with a compressed tablet vs a cellulose capsule product. 

Don't buy those cheap cellulose capsules that have a blend of different herbal powers. They're not nearly as effective as tablets. A tablet will almost always have more antifungal activity because more medicines fit into it. As the capsule itself takes up a lot of space that can be used for herbs instead.

When you select a tablet, make sure it says "sustained release." Sustained release means when you swallow this tablet, your digestive system doesn’t get access to everything immediately.

But over a period of several hours it slowly breaks down in the gut.

That way it targets all parts of your GI tract. It cleanses all the yeast, bad bacteria & parasites starting from your mouth and keeps working all the way through the colon and “back passage.”

Sustained release tablets are also more effective. They allow the formulator to use higher doses without them causing side effects or adverse reactions. You get more antimicrobial activity overall, which then gets spread out throughout the day vs overwhelming your gut all at once.

Now, likely whatever supplements you were taking before were not sustained release.

They weren’t put together by someone with decades of experience treating candida & chronic gut disorders. They were likely put together by a company that’s got a 1000 other products and they pay lip service to making a candida formula.

Or they’ve just put out a candida product with one or two things like oregano oil & clove. That's why we created our own sustain release formula, CanXida. We got disappointed with the stuff available on store shelves. 

Too many supplements these days are filled with fake ingredients.

This isn’t an opinion. It’s a fact. Back in 2015, the New York Attorney General Office conducted 390 tests on a wide range of supplements. They gathered bottles from the shelves of 4 major retail stores. 

These were GNC, Target, Walmart and Walgreens. They then sent the bottles over to a lab and DNA tested every tablet to see if the ingredients matched the label. And guess what they found. . .

Only 21% of the products actually had the herbs advertised on the bottle. 

79% didn’t contain ANY of the herbs and were just full of things like rice powder and wheat!

Here’s a screenshot of an article from CBS News reporting on it:

And it gets worse. . .

One survey done by the FDA found 68% of the supplements tested didn’t even have the MAIN INGREDIENT advertised on the bottle. For example, one “St. John’s Wort” supplement contained nothing but a laxative.

This is why we tell folks to avoid generic brand supplements from places like Amazon or iHerb.

The way you find good supplements is by asking where did this product come from? Where did the company get the raw materials? What kind of research has gone into this product?"

Was the product formulated by a person who’s an expert on it? Has it been tested and proven to work on your specific problem? Do they provide extensive education about dosage or the best way to use that product? 

Does the product use standardized ingredients?

Standardized means that each time you take this supplement, you're getting a consistent therapeutic dose. It means each batch of herbal medicine used in the formula has been lab tested by a 3rd party to make sure it contains enough active ingredients needed to perform the action you're looking for.

They don't vary in potency from bottle to bottle as the case in non-standardized supplements. It's a bit like how pharmaceuticals are made.

If you want to test out a high quality natural antifungal supplement, check out CanXida Remove (RMV).

CanXida RMV is an advanced 12 ingredient antifungal, antibacterial & anti-parasitic formula based on three decades of experience. It’s the only formula that targets the BIG PICTURE of candida & is in our opinion the most premium natural antifungal formula on the market.

This is a "heavy duty" formula designed to work even for VERY SEVERE cases where the patient has been sick for YEARS & every supplement & drug they tried in the past either failed them or the yeast came back.

CanXida is non-toxic, has no side effects & is safe even for seniors & children.

You won't find anything stronger. It meets ALL the criteria we mention above, including standardization. 

You can learn more about CanXida by watching the video below or by visiting www.canxida.com/remove. We also have few patient stories you can watch at the bottom of this page.

Why Most People Get Nowhere With Probiotics & 5 Things to Look For When Choosing a Probiotic For Candida

1. Is the Formula Centered Around Good Bacteria Strains Scientifically Proven to Inhibit Candida & Other Yeast Species?
If you’ve ever compared different probiotic formulas before you’ve no doubt noticed that there's lots of different bacteria strains out there and some products contain more strains than others. 

Some products contain 50 strains. Others contain 20. Most of these are there for marketing purposes to make you think you’re getting “lots of stuff.” They don't do anything at all to inhibit yeast & they do nothing if the patient has a severe case of candida.

The 6 strains that do inhibit Candida are:

• Lactobacillus acidophilus
• Lactobacillus casei
• Lactobacillus plantarum
• Lactobacillus rhamnosus
• Bifidobacterium bifidum
• Bifidobacterium longum

You've probably heard of Lactobacillus as they're the most researched probiotic strains out there. What most people don't understand is these strains are Candida's #1 natural enemy.

They're the #1 competitor of Candida in both the gut & vaginal environment. Countless studies show yeast, bad bacteria & parasites can't grow in areas with high levels of lactobacillus & bifidobacterium. 

There's lots of reasons for this.

L. acidophilus releases lactic acid which interferes with candida's metabolic process. It causes yeast to have a stress response & stops it from multiplying. 

It's also naturally antifungal & antimicrobial.

Lactic acid is the reason the small intestine & vagina has a low pH. This helps prevent a variety of conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast & viral infections, sexually transmitted diseases and urinary tract infections.

Candida hates lactic acid and actually has mechanisms that prevent the acidification of its environment. But a probiotic with high levels of L. acidophilus will overload this.

Other antifungal agents created by the Lactobacillus species listed above include hydrogen peroxide (which also protects your gut from bad bacteria infections) & special molecules called bacteriocins & biosurfactants.

Bacteriocins are tiny protein-like molecules that slow the growth of yeast, bad bacteria and parasites.

While biosurfactants are molecules that interfere with Candida's ability to latch onto both the vaginal and gut wall.

Studies show when high levels of Lactobacillus is released into an environment colonized by candida & yeast, the good bacteria will literally unhook "bad guys" from the epithedial cells that line the gut wall.

You don't need to understand all of these scientific terms.

Just understand that candida HATES these 6 strains.

They compete with it for food, nutrients, colonization space, "poison" it by releasing molecules that prevent its growth, & will even "evict" yeast from their "home" & send it packing. 

Some of them like Lactobacillus casei have additional benefits. L. casei mops up toxins created by yeast & bad bacteria that would otherwise get into your bloodstream, cause inflammation & trigger flare-ups.

It also helps with food allergies because it trains your immune system to relax and not be hyper-reactive. 

These are the 6 strains that are most responsible for fixing your gut environment. Don't worry about any other strains. They're nowhere near as important.

Also note only so much can fit into each capsule. So if a formula has 20 strains, it's going to have lower levels of the 6 you actually want.

2. Avoid Formulas that Contain Prebiotics or FOS
Prebiotics (also known as FOS or fructooligosaccharides) are a special type of sugar naturally found in foods such as broccoli, coconut and bananas. These sugars are what feed probiotics (beneficial bacteria) and make them grow.

That’s why they’re called prebiotics. So why do we tell you to avoid any probiotic formula that contains them?

Because we've seen them cause too many bad reactions when taken in supplement form. Any time a customer tells us they tried a probiotic formula in the past and it made them feel sick or bloated or gave them brain fog, we know right away that formula contained prebiotics.

Companies add these sugars in thinking they’re going to feed the beneficial bacteria.

Oh yeah, they feed the bacteria alright. . . They feed everything from the e. coli to the clostridia and all the other bad bacteria that cause bloating and brain fog & make you feel sick.

Companies will tell you these sugars are from "natural sources" but in reality that “source” is a factory or lab.

We’ve had it with prebiotics. We’ve seen them cause too many aggravations in customers. Get rid of any supplements that have them. You’ll get much better results if you take a probiotic without prebiotics. It’s fine to eat foods that naturally contain FOS but don’t take supplements that contain them.

3. Does the Probiotic Formula Also Contain Enzymes?
Instead of prebiotics, get a formula that contains digestive enzymes. Research in the past 7 years has shown that when you take enzymes and probiotics at the same time, you get an amplified effect.

 
There’s lots of reasons this happens. First, enzymes kick start the gut and improve the acid / alkaline ratio of the stomach and small intestine. 

This creates a favorable environment for the beneficial bacteria to grow & a hostile environment for bad bacteria, yeast, and parasites. They help shift your bacteria population from bad to good.

Many people with candida have inflamed digestive systems caused by yeast overgrowth & bad bacteria. Enzymes help with this by allowing your gut to heal at a faster rate.

They also help with cleansing. Candida patients who start taking enzymes often notice they pass out bowel plaques or mucous. They may have more frequent bowel motions or larger stools.

Enzymes are especially important in the first and second month of treatment because they’re going to break down all the vegetable starches your good bacteria are going to feed on. This is how you feed the good bacteria without feeding the bad.

Look for enzymes like amylase, hemicellulase, protease, invertase, and glucoamylase on probiotic labels. Because these will target all the different carbohydrates, proteins and fats you’ll need help digesting if your gut isn't in great shape.

Not all enzyme formulas are compatible with probiotics.

So don’t just grab an enzyme supplement from Amazon and combine it with whatever probiotic you’ve got laying around. It takes special skills to combine the two correctly so you get an amplified effect. 

If you’re taking a probiotic formula right now and it doesn't contain enzymes along with it, you’re missing the boat. You really are.

Enzymes make all the difference.

If you want the best possible product, make sure the probiotic + enzyme formula you choose contains an enzyme called serratiopeptidase.

This is a powerful enzyme binds to circulating immune complexes in the blood. That means that once you take it, it will actually start to hunt down toxins in your bloodstream released by bad bacteria & yeast as they die.

This is particularly important for people suffering from Leaky Gut or autoimmune diseases because these toxins are one of the main causes of things like rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain. As well as brain fog, headaches, and many other symptoms. . .

4. Does the Probiotic Come In a Time-Released Capsule?

Check if the probiotics come in a time-released capsule. These capsules are expensive to manufacture so usually a company will tell you on the label if it’s time-released or not.

These are special non-cellulose capsules that survive the stomach & open up in the small intestine. That way no good bacteria is lost due to stomach acid. Nearly all probiotics you buy don’t do that. They don’t fully survive the stomach. Some of the good bacteria actually get destroyed before it gets to the intestine.

A time-released capsule is different. It’s not affected by stomach acid.

5. Is the probiotic GMP Certified or Made in a GMP Certified Facility?
Be VERY wary of any probiotic that doesn’t have a “GMP Certified” seal on the label.

Particularly the cheap probiotics you see on store shelves.

Many years ago before GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) were enforced on the supplement industry, we spoke with many experts in America and Europe regarding probiotics and how they were made. 

And we were amazed to discover that when a survey was done on U.S. probiotics just before GMP was enforced, many were found to be USELESS and DEAD.

The cheap probiotics had NO VIABLE BACTERIA in them at all — people were just getting ripped off and they had no idea! And we can tell you right now that chances are, especially if you’re buying a cheapo product at the supermarket or Walmart, you’re probably still getting scammed.

An easy way to tell is to see if the factory or supplier has a GMP certification.

Before you check out other probiotics take a look at our CanXida Restore (RST) formula.

This is a heavy duty probiotic we designed specifically for folks with moderate to severe candida who need help fast.

It meets all 5 of the criteria above (including serratiopeptidase).You can learn more about this formula by visiting www.canxida.com/restore.
