Treatment for candidiasis is simple and effective. The goal is to get the yeast out of the tissues and to build up the body's ability to keep it out. There are several elements used in the treatment of yeast overgrowth. They are based on each patient's history and response to treatment. PLEASE NOTE: The exact dose of each of the following supplements from Standard Process Vitamins is essential for the program to be effective. Each person should be tested for dosage requirements before starting on a program. Furthermore, other supplements may be needed to support other bodily systems. Anyone that self-prescribes their own program does at their own risk. Physician monitoring is necessary for this program and self-prescribing is not recommended.

Most often the Yeast Reflex will be active. The Pus Reflex and it's sub-reflexes as well as the Virus Reflex will many times also show up.

Nutritional Supplementation

Nutritional Support for Candida
The goal in the treatment of Candida or yeast is to first create an environment where yeast can not survive. Removing sugar, yeast containing foods and other food items (discussed below) is critical in eliminating yeast on a long-term basis. I have used and highly recommend the following protocol for yeast infestations. These products are designed to get to the source of the yeast problem, and in combination with diet, work superbly well together.
	Lact-Enz ® Lact-Enz combines digestive enzymes and acidophilus bacilli for gastrointestinal health, intestinal flora and digestion. Used for intestinal mucus, halitosis, toxemia, antibiotic adjunct. *
	Spanish Black Radish Spanish Black Radish supports the free action of the gastrointestinal tract valves. Used for Locked gastrointestinal tract valves, constipation (mild) ileocecal valve problems. (take with full glass of water) Spanish Black Radish is an herb which is vacuum dried. It is used as a detoxifying herb for the bowel and lymphatics. Its effect upon the gastrointestinal tract tract valves allows smoother opening and closing of the valves producing a slight laxative effect. It is a support product for gastrointestinal tract tract oriented programs. Candida Albicans treatment is aided with this herb because as the yeast organism dies off, they must be eliminated quickly or their decaying forms will cause greater toxicity in the bowel.
	Zymex  ® Capsules Zymex is used to acidify the gastrointestinal tract and to help build flora In the gut. It also helps in kidney detoxification and in toxic bowel syndromes. USE FOR: Candiasis, GI tract toxicity, toxemia, adjunct to antibiotics, loss of intestinal flora. As a healthy friendly intestinal yeast (acidophilus type) it is a natural antagonist to the growth of the CANDIDA ALBICANS or thrush forming type yeasts found in such infections as vaginitis. ZYMEX is a GI Tract friendly yeast that can set up a protective environment that is immune to the CANDIDA type growth. ZYMEX is similar to LACTIC ACID YEAST in that it breaks down carbohydrate in the gastrointestinal tract to produce lactic acid, thereby acidifying the gastrointestinal tract. It's also very effective in detoxifying the colon. *
	Cal-Amo ® Persons with yeast infestations are commonly too alkaline. Therefore we use Cal-Amo, as it's a systemic acidifier of the blood stream. It contains calcium and ammonium chloride. Cal-Amo is also used for joint pains, bursitis, allergies, and asthma. The acid-alkaline balance is very important in maintaining proper body function. If the fluid of the body is too alkaline, calcium precipitates out of solution and forms deposits in various place throughout the body. So, calcium forms deposits if the pH is too high (an alkaline condition), as well as in a deficiency of phosphorous. Think of Cal-Amo as our primary acidifying product. *
To purchase any of these products you must first consult with one of our doctors or clinicians. To do so, take the free test below. If you've already talked with a doctor/clinician, you may purchase these products at our online store.

The following treatment regimens are critical in handling yeast

• Are you a coffee drinker? Do you drink decaffeinated or caffeinated? The rumors of decaffeinated coffee being less harmful for the body than caffeinated has been disproven by the medical establishment. Caffeine can kill up to 75% of the friendly Acidophilus flora in the colon per cup of coffee. The same goes for decaffeinated. It takes the body approximately five hours to replace that flora depending on the diet and balance of the body at the time.
• Eat a low carbohydrate diet with no more than 60-80 grams of carbohydrate per day. Because yeast feeds on sugar, wheat and dairy products they should be avoided. Yeasts, molds and fungi cross react so yeast products should be avoided such as vinegar, mushrooms, cheeses, commercial breads and alcohol.
• Avoid using antibiotics and steroids unless absolutely necessary since antibiotics promote the growth of the yeast germ in the body.
• Stop using birth control pills and especially if there is discharge or headaches with periods. The progesterone of these pills causes changes in the vaginal mucus membrane which makes it easier for candida to multiply.
• Follow the Candida Control Diet. Fill out the Candida Albicans Questionnaire to find out if you need to do something about the amount of Candida present in your body.
• Have yourself tested through Contact Reflex Analysis to find out how much Candida is present in your body and what areas are affected by it.
• Many clients notice a great improvement in as much as a few days and many within three weeks. Still it takes an average of six to twelve months to irradicate a candida overgrowth. The candida probably became well established before it was identified which is why treatment must be persistent. The major symptoms to improve are headaches, diarrhea, emotional and behavior problems, vaginitis and chemical sensitivities.
• When fighting a Candida infection a person must be systematic and disciplined because the miseries of the problem do not cease immediately with treatment. Candida "die-off" can cause some very uncomfortable symptoms temporarily. These symptoms disappear soon after beginning the diet.
