5 out of 5 stars

Bill, I am 79 years old and have systemic candida. Have battled it for years. Had vaginal infections in my 20s and used monistat cream a lot. Now I'm carefully following your book "Killing So Sweetly". For 2 weeks now I have been taking 15mg of Lugols Iodine 5% 4 times a day for a total of 60mg per day for 2 weeks. I'm having some positive results. After reading Dr Orian Truss book, The Missing Diagnosis, I'm optimistic that I may be well in about 4 more weeks. Would appreciate any comments.

Hi Delores... Well done in persisting with the candida protocol!! Usually, if you've had candida for years and years, it eventually goes systemic which makes it much harder to defeat. And I hope that if you did have a Herx die off reaction -- that it was minimal. You've also said that you have only been taking the protocol for about 2 weeks and you think that you will be cured in 4 weeks. I'm going to give you an urgent caveat now. In my candida book I mentioned that candida is highly adaptive and can avoid detection and even hide successfully from your immune system. It can also avoid avoid the effects of some herbal remedies while living in protective biofilms. To make the point, when I was treating myself for systemic candida problems all those years ago, I actually felt that I was cured after about 6 months of taking the candida protocol. But I still continued the candida protocol for another 6 months to make absolutely sure ALL the candida was dead and gone. And my candida has never returned (after 11 years). ! would hate to hear that you gave up the candida protocol too early, which usually always results in the opportunistic systemic candida (that can hide dormant in your body for years and years) suddenly returning with a vengeance when you least expect it. Please take note !! Lastly and for no particular reason, here is a simple list of some of my favorite remedies for candida: Gum Turpentine: From the distilled sap of the pine tree. One teaspoon a day. It's a strong blood purifier that kills a huge range of associated candida co-infections including bacteria, parasites and viruses. Borax: The ultimate fungal killer. Also helps to remove fluorine from your body and helps (together with magnesium and iodine) to prevent or cure osteoporosis and arthritis. Cures diseases caused by both mycoplasma and mycobacteria, which no allopathic drug can eradicate. Lugol's Iodine. One of my longtime favorites. There are too many iodine benefits to mention here. Not enough room... Ted's Alakalizing remedies -- everyone knows about Ted's Alkalizing remedies. I still take them every day. Keeps me healthy. A few more useful herbs which might help against candida co-infections: Mimosa pudica extract (Bashful Mimosa): This is the Asian equivalent of taking Wormwood and Black Walnut for parasites. Highly thought of and used alot in Asia for intestinal parasites and very effective. 500 mg twice a day with meals. Also kills a wide range of pathogenic microbes. Currently being researched for cancer. I read a Filipino blog where a Filipino man who had terminal liver cancer just drank two cups of Mimosa pudica root tea every day. Doctors couldn't understand why his liver cancer suddenly went into remission and he recovered completely. He still drinks the mimosa tea every day. Astragalus. 500mgs once a day with a meal. Superb immune booster that gives protection against a wide range of pathogen species including bacteria viruses and fungus. This herb will also help to make your intestines healthy again. See this link: http://bit.ly/selfhacked-astralgulus Resveratrol: Get the resveratrol made from Japanese Knotweed. It contains trans-resveratrol which is better absorbed by the body. John Buhner also recommends resveratrol in his protocol against Lyme Disease -- so resveratrol is certainly not a lightweight. Here are some of it's amazing benefits - see the link: http://bit.ly/selfhacked-resveratrol.

Bill, Dr Orian Truss healed a man with systemic candida in 6 weeks using high dose Lugol. Since I'm using 15mg 4 x daily (60mg total) I'm optomistic that I'll heal myself in about 6 weeks. Is that not logical? I may try increasing Lugol up a little more. Thanks, Delores

Hi Delores...It's really up to you when you decide that you're cured and stop the candida protocol. In my own experience of helping many other people with serious candida issues in the past, you can heal relatively quickly or it can take months and even years to heal yourself. It all depends on the extent of your fungal infection and also strongly depends on any associated co-infections in the your body from parasites, bacteria, mycobacteria and viruses. I also warned that candida is superb at hiding away and avoiding the protective or healing effects of the immune system, herbs, drugs etc. That's why my simple advice to you is don't rush to quit the protocol or you might regret it later if the candida returns -- and you have to start all over again. On so many candida blogs I have also read posts like "My candida is cured!! Most of my symptoms are gone. But I still have to avoid eating sugar and carbs otherwise my stomach and intestines becomes painful and upset." How can you call that a cure? What do you think is causing the upset stomach and painful intestines?? It's the candida + co-infections that are still alive and active in the body that are causing these problems. If you want to be cured of candida problems then this will take some learning or understanding and, in some cases, a great deal of patience with the protocol.

Bill,

Thanks for your comments on Sept 22, 2019 on dealing with systemic candida. I am following your suggestions. Plus, since I do have systemic candida, I increased my 5% Lugol to 1 tsp in a glass of water 4 x daily for 5 days as of today. No bad side effects and still sleeping well. The candida is trying to get out. My mouth and tongue are black in spots. I figure I'm getting about 400mg a day of Lugol's and I'm 79 years. I am excited, have lots of energy and plan to see this through. I ordered more copies of your book to share. Thanks again. Delores

Hi Delores...You mention taking lugol's iodine at 60mgs per day but are you also taking all the other recommended nutrients from my protocol as well? I also have a simplified version of my protocol that you can download from here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XGVf9i-N_keyn51fUxEs91JQOs7-dfBEAfsclH5SQ9k/edit?usp=sharing The above simplified protocol involves supplementing Lugol's Iodine, Gum Turpentine, Borax and using Ted' from Bangkok's Alkalizing protocols. This is a simplified protocol which is very effective against candida and all associated co-infections. I would also strongly encourage you to supplement all the advised remedies in the protocol for your candida problem. Regarding your long term uranium problem, I would definitely supplement magnesium chloride -- 250 mgs twice a day. Magnesium chloride has the ability to remove heavy metals that cause radiation damage in the body. Other useful detoxers that you could also supplement for this problem are Cilantro Extract, Chlorella or Milk Thistle. For your facial candida problem, you could perhaps add a capful of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to a glass of water. Add a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate and then also add a teaspoon of borax powder to it and mix well. Dab your candida rash with this mix every day and leave it to dry so that the nutrients have adequate time to be absorbed into the skin to kill the candida causing the rash. After application and when your skin is dry, use one or two drops of lavender oil mixed with aloe vera gel on the area to help heal the affected skin area more quickly. Do this protocol once a day. Another remedy for your facial candida problem that is quite effective is to use 50% DMSO(50% water, 50% pure DMSO) with lugol's iodine. Mix a small amount of 50% DMSO with 4 or 5 drops of lugol's iodine and spread that over your affected facial area using cotton wool. DMSO(Dimethyl Sulfoxide) is a natural product that comes from trees which has the ability to increase the porosity of the skin so that iodine will be better absorbed and can travel through all the skin layers to the blood. So the iodine will act like a disinfectant as it travels through all the skin layers and will kill any fungus within the infected area. Again, allow the DMSO/Iodine time to be absorbed and dry and then finally apply aloe vera gel to the facial area. Do this once a day for best effect.

Bill,

Beginning yesterday, I'm taking a total of 3 teaspoons of Lugols with lots of water. I can already see a slight improvement in my facial Candida rash with I have had for several years. I am 79 years old and weight about 136 lbs. So I'm optomistic and determined for the first time that I will get rid of this horrible stuff. I recently found a link to this issue (from a study in Europe) to low adrenal function which I have from drinking well water (212 feet underground) which contained very high uranium for 19 years. EPA allowance for uranium in drinking water is .03 PPM. Ours was .069PPM. I'm on cortisol capsules (for rest of my life). Thanks for all the help.
