Also, in the book I can't tell how to use the turpentine protocol with the other protocol. Is it not good to mix the 2. I am following the anti-candida protocol, but just adding the turpentine right before lunch, is that ok?
How many days in a row can I use the turpentine?
One last question about Alkalizing. It seems to make sense to me when I read your book, but I know that I have also read that Candida thrives in an alkaline environment and that being acidic is what kills it. I am so confused!
Also, on the daily example protocol you have Molybdenum, but if I am taking the 3 main anti candida remedies, alkalizing, iodine, and borax, do I need the Molybdenum?
One more, why do you prefer the turps over the digestive enzymes? Do you think it works better?
On this article that says that you have updated the protocol, I do not see a link that takes me to that updated protocol. Also, the link for J's Personal Candida Diet Testimony does not seem to go to the right thing, just FYI, because I really would like to read it.
Thank you so much for your book and being so great about answering questions. I am feeling much more hope about my situation. My main physical complaint is that I have Interstitial Cystitis and I feel that Candida plays a role in that. My mother use to give me amoxicillin almost like a daily vitamin when I was a child. My children have not really had antibiotics, but I am wondering if fungal candida can be passed from the mother through the womb.
Thanks again.

First, when I wrote the Candida: Killing So Sweetly I didn't really know how well turpentine worked against candida. But for the last 18 months or so, I've been working with and advising a parent's autism group who have kids with with serious autism or ASD issues. All kids who have ASD will have serious parasite and candida infestation problems. Cure the candida and parasites and you cure autism -- that's it in a nutshell. This is when I discovered that using gum turpentine with castor oil was the best way to use turps because of the laxative effect of the castor oil -- which tends to spread the turpentine evenly and quickly throughout the intestines thus having a more efficient candida-killing effect throughout the intestines. The parents have been successfully using the turpentine/CO protocol with ther ASD kids with age ranges from 2 to 16+ without problems. When the turpentine/CO protocol is also combined with Lugol's Iodine, Alkalizing and Borax then these latter protocols will also adequately act to kill the candida and other pathogens in the blood, tissues and organs as well.
The main pathogen protocols that you should be using are Ludols Iodine, Borax, Alkalizing and Turpentine/CO which are all defined in detail here:
Remember that the above remedies are only part of the anti-candida cure protocol -- for a better result you should really also follow the full protocol which also incorporates Liver/Kidney and Immune Support, Detox and an Anti-candida Diet.
Now to answer all your questions:
The first is that on this site I see a lot about using Turps with Castor Oil, but in your book you use Coconut Oil. I am just wondering which you prefer?
I think I've already answered this one. I use the castor oil because of its laxative effects -- which is not a characteristic of VCO. So not only will turps/CO combination kill pathogens throughout the intestines -- it also expels them quickly due to its laxative effects.
I am following the anti-candida protocol, but just adding the turpentine right before lunch, is that ok?
Taking the turpentine/CO just before meals is the way that you should take it because the food will carry the turps/CO into the intestines where you want it to kill the candida and pathogens. Clearing candida/parasites from the intestines is very difficult -- but the turps/CO protocol seems to work well.
How many days in a row can I use the turpentine?
I advise that you should not use turpentine/CO for more than 5 consecutive days(at the lower dose of 1 tspn turps, 1 tablespoon castor oil) without a few days break. Having said that, some of the parents in the autism group used the turps/CO protocol consecutively for weeks without problems. But I prefer being a little more careful.
You should only use the stronger full laxative dose(1 tspn turps, 3 tablespoons castor oil) just once a week. See the link above for more details.
...do I need the Molybdenum?
Molybdenum is highly useful -- it both kills candida and reduces the Herx reactions but, unfortunately, I've found that the powder is hard to find. My view is that there are already adequate protocols that will kill pathogens in my protocol so there's no real need to take molybdenum.
...Alkalizing -- good or bad against candida?
When I cured my own candida problems some years ago I alkalized every single day. I regard that alkalizing was a major reason that helped me to a cure. And I still alkalize my body now on a daily basis. The only time you should not alkalize is if you have a problem in your body that cause alkalosis -- such problems are usually related to liver issues.
One more, why do you prefer the turps over the digestive enzymes? Do you think it works better?
I prefer turps/CO because it is faster acting. Turpentine is a paint thinner whose surfactant properties also act to strip away biofilms rapidly as well as killing candida and killing a huge range of other pathogens at the same time. From my own research, protease enzymes are slower acting because they must digest the biofilms. And I'm not convinced that protease will act throughout the whole intestines like turpentine/CO does. Also, protease enzymes will not necessarily kill the candida(whose cell walls are made of chitin or hemicellulose -- not protein). That's why I prefer turpentine.
If you have Interstitial Cystitis then you can use DMSO(DimethylSulfoxide) topically. This is also a recognized allopathic treatment for IC that is now recommended by doctors in America. But I would just do it yourself and save some money. It's also a fairly simple protocol.
Buy some 99% DMSO(from ebay.com or amazon.com). Make a 50%-50% water solution by adding one tablespoon of the DMSO to a glass or small container and then adding one tablespoon of water to it. Then add 10 drops of Lugol's Iodine to the DMSO/water and mix it all up.
With a wad of cotton wool, just spread this solution thinly over your lower abdomen(over the bladder). The DMSO will act to reduce the pain, as will the iodine which will kill any bacterial or fungal infection in your bladder. After you have finished topically, use organic aloe oil over the region to avoid irritation and then wash your hands. Apply this topical application once a day. If you do get any irritation in the application area above your bladder then just skip a day.
The DMSO will act to reduce the pain and the DMSO with LI will also help to kill off any involved pathogens that are active in your bladder area.

Thank you for the information on the turpentine. I have just been using in 3 times a week because it kind of scares me. It makes me a little nauseous and tired after taking it, hopefully that is just die off. But I am going to up it to 5 times a week like you suggest.
I found that putting it in milk makes it easier to swallow. Is it ok to put the castor oil and the turps both in milk?
I have not yet tried it with the 3 T if castor oil but want to try that this coming week if I can get brave enough.
Also, if I forget to take it before lunch, can it be after? Or if I take it in the evening will it effect sleep?
I have been following the rest of the protocol as you have advised and haven't noticed anything major passing thru me like some people report. I do notice some grey slime that is mixed in or encasing my stools. I hope that is either biofilms or else the grey stuff lining my intestines that you have mentioned. Do you know?
I am doing the alkalizing, the iodine and the borax now and they all seem to set fine with me. I have been so tired since starting the iodine, is that normal? Starting the Borax made me feel energized at first. It may just all be coincidence.
Thank you so much for your book and for answering my questions. I have finished the book since last posting and I feel that I am on a good path. I will keep you posted.
Also, thank you for the info on DMSO. I had never thought to try it because I thought that was something a doctor had to distill the bladder with. I will definitely try it.

It's ok to take turps/co with milk -- I recommend it in my book.
I have not yet tried it with the 3 T if castor oil but want to try that this coming week if I can get brave enough?
The 3 tablespoon castor oil is the full laxative dose and is just a ball-park dose -- some people might need less for full laxative effect, some people might need more. It won't hurt you and will clear out much of the candida, poisons and biofilm from your intestines. Only take the full laxative dose once week.
Also, if I forget to take it before lunch, can it be after? Or if I take it in the evening will it effect sleep?
Best time to take it(the lower turps/co maintenance dose) is before meals either in the morning or evening. But you can really take this any time you like that is convenient to you.
I do notice some grey slime that is mixed in or encasing my stools. I hope that is either biofilms or else the grey stuff lining my intestines that you have mentioned. Do you know?
It may well be biofilms or it could be the removal of hard mucus that has solidified and impacted onto your intestinal walls over the years. Either way, this outcome is beneficial.
I have been so tired since starting the iodine, is that normal?
Iodine usually always gives both a Herx and detox reaction when you first take it. In time these effects should clear as both these die-off and detox effects reduce as they are cleared by the liver.
Also, if you take the liver protocol as recommended in the book(take milk thistle, selenium and Alpha Lipoic Acid) this should also help the liver to remove poisons from the die-off and detox more quickly.

I must also mention an interesting nutrient that I'm using at the moment. Everyone knows the health wonders of organic ACV, but I've been using vinegar made from the coconut nectar that is tapped and fermented from the flower stem of the coconut tree. The remarkable health profile of this vinegar is described here and here. This organic vinegar is particularly high in minerals, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids. I found some locally produced organic Coconut Nectar Vinegar(CNV) here in the local market and bought some to try it(very cheap). The vinegar is a quite a bit different to ACV because when you shake up the bottle the CNV turns a dense dark brown because it has a much higher amount of "mother" particles in it(you can't see through the bottle) -- and that is probably the reason why it is so high in aminos(contains 17 amino acids for the body). The other thing I noticed about the CNV is that it is much less sour tasting -- tastes quite pleasant in fact -- therefore it is less acidic than ACV. The CNV is also high in potassium, copper, zinc, natural sulfur and magnesium minerals.

The coconut aminos that you have would also be useful just for their protein value only. In other words, both ACV or Coconut Nectar Vinegar will do much more to help your body than just aminos alone. So, in answer to your question, supplementing aminos alone is not really a viable substitute for ACV or Coconut Nectar Vinegar.
