What To Take?

I am on my second month of Nystatin and also took 3 weeks of Black Walnut tincture for candida. I also take probiotics, milk thistle, multi vitamins, oxygen elements, probiotics, garlic tablets...
Is there anything else I can take at the same time or can anyone recommend what I should/shouldn't be taking please? I am getting so confused and my doctor is no help.
Also is it okay to take St John's Wort with everything else as it has been making me so low?!


You actually may be overdoing it. Milk Thistle is a good liver cleanser and on top of killing off the candida with the other products you take, your body must be working incredibly hard trying to keep up with the die-off of the candida and the cleansing action of the milk thistle, etc. You can't rush healing Candida. In fact you can further deplete your bodies resources by doing too much. Maybe cut back a bit and see if things settle down a bit (if that is what the problem is). Or, are you just in a rush to get better?????


I spppose I am in a bit of a hurry to get better, especially since the depression has set in! I know it will take time but I want to do as much as I can to help it go away! I expect to spend 6 months to a year to be fully recovered but would like to make sure I am doing the right things as I've read so much I am confused!!


My doctor told me that garlic pills don't really work. I was confused by that because I felt really ill from taking them at one point and figured it was die off. He said there is a chemical used in garlic pills and that is what made me feel sick. He tells his patients w/candida etc to take 3 cloves of fresh garlic, pressed through a garlic press and mixed in some plain yogurt on an empty stomach first thing in the morning for 2 months. I haven't done this yet becasue I work very close to people and wouldn't want to breathe on them w/garlic breath like that..but I have spoken w/2 of his patients who say they feel totally cured after doing that. Maybe I'll try it someday when I don't have clients for a few weeks.


I work with a herbalist who swears by fresh garlic. He wanted me to start taking 6 whole cloves daily. He also said if you steam them they are a little less harsh. I tried doing 2-3 cloves a day and got bad die off. Kate, I can really relate to your story. My first 2 months of this were total hell. The brain fog, anxiety and depression was so bad I thought I was going to end up on Prozac. I was taking mega doses of Vit. B, C, Milk Thistle, Chlorophyll, CoQ10, Diflucan, Probiotics, Echanatia (sp?), kefir, etc..and I just kept feeling worse. I think you have to give your body time to adjust to each suppliment. I know for a fact that the Milk thistle will cause your liver to discharge stored toxins. So on top of candida toxins your now getting hit on 2 fronts. Hope this helps.



Exactly. The anxiety and depression have been very bad for me! I have even felt suicidal at times and I know I am very happy, but I am ending up in a vicious circle. I am so paranoid and depressed that I am driving my wonderful boyfriend nuts and then that makes my anxiety worse and I think he will leave me! :( Just trying everything I can to get better and make it go away.
