...Candida Yeast could be your problem

If you are reading this booklet, chances are you have recognized that yeastmay be part of your problem. Many people suffer from Candida-relatedsymptoms for years without recognizing the true cause of their problems.Candidiasis can cause anything from the sniffles to debilitating disease, yet itis difficult to diagnose. For this reason, Candida-related symptoms cancause many futile trips to the doctor, often resulting in a diagnosis ofhypochondria. For those who have long resigned themselves to chronic illhealth of unknown cause, learning about Candida and the YEAST BUSTERTM

program can provide tremendous hope.

If you have been unsuccessful with Candida treatments in the past, pleaseread on. Many anti-Candida products offer false hope by promising a cure witha "magic pill." Unfortunately there are no quick fixes for Candidiasis. It is acondition that develops over time from months or years of an unhealthylifestyle, and it cannot be reversed overnight. As you learn more about yeastand what makes it thrive, you will understand how important a completeindividualized approach is and why the YEAST BUSTERTM program is recom-mended by hundreds of health professionals. A proven effective programlike YEAST BUSTERTM focuses on clearing out Candida and strengthening thewhole body and minimizing the chance that the condition will return. Foryears, YEAST BUSTERTM products have been helping people regain theirhealth.

3Do I Have Candidiasis? Your score on this questionnaire will help you and your healthpractitioner determine the likelihood that your health problems are Candidarelated. The score analysis provided below is intended for use as a generalguide. A positive score does not indicate a definite diagnosis of Candida, noris this an exhaustive list of possible Candida symptoms. However, the higheryour score, the stronger the likelihood that Candida overgrowth is contributing to your health problems.

Instructions Score each symptom between 0 and 10, depending on the degree to which it applies

to you. If the symptom does not apply, score 0. If the symptom occurs occasionally or is very mild, score 2 or 3 points. If the symptom is frequent or moderately severe, score 5 or 6 points. If the symptom is severe, score 9 or 10 points.

NEGATIVE = 0 TO 35: It is highly unlikely that Candida overgrowth is a problem for you. MILD = 35 TO 55 MODERATE = 55 TO 80 SEVERE = 80 and over IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE BOOKLET BEFORE BEGINNING YOURANTI-CANDIDA PROGRAM.

WHAT IS CANDIDIASIS?

Candida albicans is a yeast that resides in the human bowel. Under normalconditions, only a small number of Candida live in our intestine. A healthybowel should contain 85% friendly bacteria and 15% pathogens (antagonisticbacteria), including Candida albicans. These friendly bacteria keep yeast andother pathogens in check. Candidiasis is an overgrowth of Candida albicans.The Candida starts out as simple, relatively harmless single-celled yeast.Left unchecked, it can become a nuisance, developing large colonies andcontributing to a wide variety of health problems in both men and women.If this "nuisance" condition is not controlled, the yeast can develop into amore stubborn organism, namely the mycelial fungus form of Candida. Thisform can contribute to many more serious problems and can be verychallenging to overcome. When the Candida problem has advanced to thisdegree, it is referred to as "systemic Candidiasis."

In addition to Candida albicans, there is another potentially problematicyeast called Candida monilla. This yeast gravitates to the vagina andcontributes to vaginitis.

How Can Such a LittleYeast Cause Such a BigProblem?

There are several reasons for the challenges involved in successfully treating Candidiasis. This little yeast hasa very strong "survival instinct" and isable to find ways to thrive at the expenseof our health. Once it has establishedlarge colonies in the body, it can increase its numbers every time it is giventhe slightest chance -- when you eat a sugary dessert or drink a glass ofwine, for example. Whats more, Candida has the ability to advance into afungal form, which can aggressively spread throughout the body, and attachitself to internal organs. The Candida fungus feeds off the body like a para-site, leaching nutrients and weakening tissues.

Candida and the Immune Connection

Candida and the immune system are intimately linked. As a result of thestress and malnutrition so prevalent in todays society, immune weakness iscommon. A weakened body is more susceptible to Candida overgrowth.Candida overgrowth can, in turn, tremendously stress the body and severelylower immunity. Our immune system normally protects our bodies from alltypes of infections. Without a properly functioning immune system, we arevulnerable to a myriad of other health problems and diseases. Thus Candidaproblems often underlie other diseases and complicate their healingprocess. (When dealing with a disease that may be accompanied or exacerbated by Candida overgrowth, the importance of choosing a healthpractitioner who understands Candidiasis cannot be overestimated.)

When your defenses are down, Candida can further weaken you by robbingyour body of nutrients and slowly poisoning you with toxic by-products.Candida causes the fermentation of carbohydrates in the intestines, whichresults in the production of a volatile gaseous compound called acetalde-hyde. The fermentation by the yeast also causes the production of a type of

6What Encourages CandidaOvergrowth?

There are many aspects of modern living thatare antagonistic to a healthy balance of intestinalbacteria, including antibiotic treatment of peopleand livestock, oral contraceptives, chemicalpollution, corticosteroids, nutritional deficiencies,chlorinated water, food preservatives, highsugar intake, chronic constipation, and stress-ful lifestyles. All of these contribute to theCandidiasis problem by directly nourishing Candida, by stressing theimmune system, or by reducing the numbers of friendly bacteria, thusallowing yeast to multiply out of control.

Candida-related problems can cause many futile trips to the family physician.Not only is there a lack of awareness of this problem within the mainstreammedical community, but there are also many prescriptions for antibioticsand other strong pharmaceuticals that are written to alleviate Candida relatedsymptoms that actually worsen the problem in the long run. They suppressimmunity and kill off beneficial micro-organisms.

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is deficient in the nutrients and fibrerequired for proper bowel function. As a result we develop accumulations ofwaste material. After years of a poor diet, the walls of the intestines becomecoated with a thick layer of mucus and impacted decaying food, which provide a fertile breeding ground for Candida.

alcohol called ethanol. These by-products are constantly polluting the blood-stream and are directly responsible for a multitude of Candida-related symp-toms. Overcoming Candida overgrowth necessitates a determined, multi-faceted healing approach. Natural remedies such as antifungal herbs,immune-boosting herbs, and bowel cleansing products, offer the most effec-tive help.

7Diagnosing Candidiasis My doctor tells me he cant find anything wrong with me,

but I know Im sick.

Because Candida is a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract (GItract), Candidiasis is hard to diagnose. There are blood and stool tests thatmay assist in the diagnosis of a Candida overgrowth. Unfortunately, theseassays are expensive and are not always readily available through everypractitioner. Despite its elusive nature, more and more medical doctors arerecognizing the clinical problems caused by Candida. There are still howevermany more that proclaim the victim of Candidiasis to be a "hypochondriac."To complicate matters more, malnutrition, glandular imbalances, hormoneproblems, parasites, and mercury, fluoride, or lead poisoning, to name afew, are other conditions that can produce symptoms similar to thosecaused by Candidiasis. However, Candidiasis overgrowth is often associatedwith these problems. Treating Candida may not eliminate all of the symptomsif there is an additional underlying cause, but it will help to strengthen thebody so that it is more capable of overcoming the other conditions.

Many MDs with good intentions unknowingly worsen their patients conditionby prescribing the multi-purpose antibiotic. Happily, growing numbers ofpatients, who have eventually found relief from their symptoms through thetreatment of Candida overgrowth, are reporting their good results back totheir MDs. Although a growing number of MDs are aware of this condition, there are still a great number of MDs who are unable to recognize

8Candidiasis. They will respond to the multi-symptomatic Candida patient byordering a barrage of tests. When they have exhausted all of their diagnosticresources, the diagnosis given to the frustrated patient is often "Theresnothing physically wrong with you."

A non-supportive response like "Its all in your head," from a trusted health-care professional, can be disheartening for the Candidiasis patient, who isoften quite debilitated by symptoms.

In order to diagnose Candidiasis, many holistic practitioners andNaturopathic Doctors will use a survey similar to the YEAST BUSTERTM

questionnaire and then observe the patients response to a yeast-free dietand antifungal treatment. If the patient improves on this type of treatmentprogram, the doctors suspicions are confirmed and Candida is assumed. IfCandida is not suspected, the program is harmless and may even provideother benefits to the patient.

Okay, So I Have Candidiasis, Now What?

It is time to get to work. Your best chance of success in eradicating Candidalies in a thorough, multi-faceted approach. We strongly recommend that youread through this entire booklet before starting the YEAST BUSTERTM

program, so that you have a good understanding of whats involved.

Many people attempt to treat Candidiasis without adequate information orspecific guidance from a health professional. Any such uninformed effort islikely to be in vain. By learning as much as possible about the physiology ofthe yeast and its effects on your health, you will be able to avoid the mostcommon pitfalls of Candida treatment and ensure the fastest recovery possible.

Because of the "whole body" stress that the yeast can cause, especially inserious cases, it is crucial that your treatment approach be thorough. A hap-hazard approach is destined to fail, as Candida will find a way to multiplywhen given the smallest opportunity. The more complete your treatmentprogram, the shorter it will need to be.

9Chapter TwoTHE YEAST BUSTERTM CANDIDA SOLUTION

This multi-faceted approach is a proven effective method of Candida control. 1. It kills excess yeast in the intestines and eliminates its breeding

grounds by cleaning the bowel. It re-establishes a healthy balanceof flora through supplementation with friendly bacteria.

2. It stops you from feeding the Candida by helping you adopt a dietthat starves the yeast while nourishing your body.

3. It eliminates the mycelial form of yeast that has migrated to otherorgans in the body (systemic Candida overgrowth) and detoxifiesthe Candidas waste products.

4. It strengthens the body and helps the immune system rebuilditself.

Lets now consider why each of these aspects of the program is soimportant.

10

Killing Excess Yeast in the Boweland Restoring Friendly Bacteria

The health of our bowel affects the health of our entire body. Our intestinalflora is made up of a delicately balanced community of micro-organisms.Research shows that many immunological dysfunctions are related to animbalance in intestinal flora. When harmful intestinal bacteria (pathogens)outnumber good bacteria, health is compromised.

Healthy bowel flora is important for the maintenance of intestinal pH, strongdigestion, and the production of vitamins, hormones, and immune-modulatingsubstances. Pathogens like Candida, on the other hand, produce toxic by-products in the intestines. These poisons can be absorbed into the blood-stream, causing a condition known as "auto-intoxication." It is universallyaccepted that auto-intoxication is the underlying cause of a large number ofsymptoms and illnesses.

Once the balance of helpful to harmful flora has been disturbed, the bodyusually needs support to overcome the excess pathogens. An antifungalprogram like the YEAST BUSTERTM CANDIDA TRAUMA KIT is effective atkilling intestinal yeast. It absorbs and eliminates the dead yeast and its by-products, while it restores the healthy bacteria population through supple-mentation, with a hearty human-compatible strain of ACIDOPHILUS. Bygaining control of the problem in the intestines, the immune system isrelieved and can begin to cope better with toxins and yeast elsewhere in thebody.

Starving the Candida

Sugars, yeast, most fermented foods, and anything quickly converted intosugar, (i.e., simple starches) are "SUPERFOOD" for Candida. To ensure acomplete recovery from Candida, it is important to refrain from foods thatnourish it. As the yeast begins to die off, its need for nourishment in orderto survive can cause increased cravings for those foods (i.e., sugary, starchy,yeasty, or fermented foods). As a result, cravings for Candida SUPER-FOODS, can become even more intense during Candidiasis treatment. OurStandard American Diet (SAD) is largely to blame for the ever growing

11

epidemic of Candidiasis. The average North American consumes 60,000 to 100,000 pounds of food in a lifetime -- most of which is highly processed,low in fibre, and high in refined carbohydrates. The SAD usually includes alot of red meat, dairy products, and wheat. This diet challenges and slowsdigestion and elimination. In constipated or sluggish intestines, undigestedfood tends to ferment, providing opportunity for Candida to flourish.

To make matters worse for us and better for the Candida, most people eatan average of 120 pounds of sugar each year. This averages out to one teaspoon every hour, 24 hours a day. We are unknowingly, but all too successfully, breeding this nuisance yeast inside our bodies.

Unfortunately, the foods that many of us have come to love are also thefoods that Candida loves. Yet the only way to control the proliferation of theyeast is to starve it while simultaneously attacking it with antifungals. Themore we restrict the Candidas energy sources from our diet, the faster andeasier our recovery will be. Chapter Four provides more detail on eating tonourish ourselves rather than the Candida.

3. Eliminating Systemic Candidiasis

It is not unusual for someone suffering from "Systemic Candidiasis" (themycelial fungal form), to have problems in many different organ systems.The mycelial form of Candida has the ability to migrate throughout the body.The fungi grow root-like extensions called mycelia. These mycelia serve tohelp the Candida travel through tissue in the body so that it can invade anyorgan. The mycelia also allow the Candida to anchor itself into tissue, weak-ening the cellular structures. The Candida then sucks nutrients from thehosts tissue. It emits enzymes that actually digest human cells.

Candida can cause considerable problems once it has advanced to thisstage, particularly in the already weakened individual. It is imperative thataggressive antifungal treatment be administered. The YEAST BUSTERTM KITcontrols the Candida in the bowel with the use of YEAST BUSTERTM CAPROIL.For a full recovery from systemic Candidiasis, an additional herbal antifungallike YEAST BUSTERTM OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT, is needed to reach the Candidathroughout the body. YEAST BUSTERTM OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT will bedescribed in more detail in Chapter Five.

12

4. Strengthening the Body andRebuilding the Immune System

Immune weakness is frequently a contributing factor to the development ofCandidiasis or the result of it. Candida yeast releases waste material (likeacetaldehyde and alcohol), and the blood, liver, and lymphatic system canbecome overburdened. When the body is congested with waste material, theimmune system becomes overworked in its attempt to provide protectionfrom these toxins and cannot remain efficient at preventing other healthproblems. Candidiasis is often an overlooked component of many otherhealth problems, including colds, flu, arthritis, viral infections, immune diseases, cancer, and AIDS. The YEAST BUSTERTM program includes threevery effective additional products called YEAST BUSTERTM OLIVE LEAFEXTRACT, YEAST BUSTERTM BLACK WALNUT COMPLEX and YEASTBUSTERTM GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT to support the immune system.(See pgs. 33-36)

13

Chapter ThreeTHE ANTI-CANDIDA DIET

Diet plays a large role in the development of Candidiasis, and so dietmodification has to play a role in recovery. An anti-Candida diet is essential,whether your condition is mild or severe. This does not mean that you willnever eat your favourite foods again, but at least during the program youmay have to incorporate substitutions in some of your meals. The foods thatpromote yeast growth need to be eliminated or reduced, and more healthy,immune boosting foods need to be introduced to strengthen health andimmunity.

Anything Sweet or Fermented is "Super Food" for Candida The degree of diet change required, depends partially upon the severity ofyour condition. However, regardless of how severe your Candidiasis is, themore you restrict Candida "Super Foods" from your diet, the faster you willrecover. Once your body is stronger and the Candida population reduced,you can reintroduce some of the restricted foods again.

14

As you discover new foods, new flavours, and the positive effects they haveon your energy and mood, you will begin to realize that your healingexperience can be an exciting journey. As you get more familiar with yournew food choices and become stronger, what at first may have seemed likedeprivation will likely seem more like an advantage. The experience willundoubtedly broaden your culinary horizons and "cultivate" your palate.

The diet guidelines required for Candida recovery may appear challengingfor a variety of reasons. You may have hurdles that relate to finances, energylevel, degree of family support, availability of healthy food ingredients, orculinary skills. Whatever your obstacles, your determination and a strongdesire to get better, are the most important motivators to stimulate your creativity.

Many people find that after the initial adjustment, they feel so good on thisnew healthy diet, that they want to incorporate some of their new dietdiscoveries permanently. For most people, the Candidiasis experienceprovides lessons about improving the quality of their lives that will last alifetime.

Diet Donts

Any foods containing fruit, fruit juice, sugar, or even natural sweeteners(except stevia) will help Candida to multiply. Fermented foods like vinegar,miso, cheeses, and alcohol, can also aggravate the condition by nourishingthe yeast. Some foods that are "yeast-like" can cause sensitivities becauseone is sensitized to the Candida (e.g., mushrooms, yeast extract, and bakersor nutritional yeast).

Starchy foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, white rice, breads (evenyeast-free breads are starchy), and pasta are quickly converted into sugars.Starchy foods need to be avoided at the beginning of the program, but cangradually be reintroduced as you improve. Processed foods, preservatives,and refined or cooked unsaturated oils, weaken the body and should beavoided. Mucus-producing foods such as dairy foods (including cheese),refined flours, and meat should be restricted as they promote sluggishdigestion and will slow the elimination of wastes from the bowel.

15

Diet Dos

A detoxifying diet rich in a variety of fibre, essential fatty acids,vegetables, legumes, white meats, alternative grains (in moderation), andcomplementary vegetarian proteins (beans combined with grains) is themost supportive to this program. Healthy oils like flax oil (always servedunheated), which are rich in essential fatty acids, can support the healingprocess and can also help to conquer the yeast.

TIP: Many people think that finding something appropriate to make forbreakfast is challenging. Our traditional habit of consuming sweet andstarchy foods at breakfast must be put aside at least while on the YEASTBUSTERTM program. Consider a breakfast consisting of foods that you mightordinarily eat for lunch or dinner. It may even be helpful for you to makeextra food at supper the night before that you can eat for breakfast. You willprobably find that eliminating the sweet foods in the morning will result ingreater satiation and longer lasting energy.

The "YES" List These foods can be eaten at any time during the program.

Proteins beans (all types) + sprouted beans tofu deep sea fish (tuna, marlin, halibut, sea bass, wild pacific salmon) unsweetened soymilk (if tolerated) organic eggs (if tolerated). Regular eggs contain antibiotics and hormones. naturally raised chicken or turkey raw or soaked nuts and seeds (except cashews, peanuts, and pistachios) wheat-free meat analogues (occasional eg. tofu) dairy-free cheeses (occasional) Poultry Fish Tofu Almonds Almond Milk

The "Yes" list is not a complete list of everything that you can include in youranti-candida diet, nor is every food on it necessarily right for you. Use yourgood judgement and knowledge of your own individual tolerances toexpand on this list and/or to avoid foods that are inappropriate for you. Formore specific suggestions, see the list of Candida cookbooks on pg. 65.Whenever possible, buy organic foods, as they contain fewer chemicals andare far more nutritious.

Carbs oats, millet bread, brown rice,spelt bread, spelt pasta, brownrice pasta, buckwheat, quinoa,amaranth, spelt, kamut, teff

Nuts almonds, fiberts, pumpkinseeds, sunflower seeds

Misc. butter, apple cider vinegar,lemons, almond butter (organic)

Drink 1-2 litres of water daily

The "NO" List Eliminate these foods for the duration of this program. Sweets barley, corn, or rice syrup cow milk, goat milk, cheese, yogurt, kefir honey, pastries, cookies, candies, etc. white, brown, date sugar any foods containing concentrated sweeteners maple syrup, molasses fructose, glucose,maltose

Yeasts and Fermented Foods alcohol yeast (bakers, nutritional, and brewers)

Not Recommended hydrogenated or refined vegetable oils (lowers immunity) red meats (may contain nitrates and are mucus producing)

The "No" list is also not an exhaustive list. Use your own common sense toascertain from these examples what foods may be similarly unsuitablebased on their starch or sugar content, etc. Depending on your individualtolerances, there may be other foods from which you must abstain.

18

The "REDUCE" List

These foods should be avoided for the first few weeks of your program.Thereafter, they may be eaten in moderation. The diet protocol sections inthis guide for mild, moderate, and severe Candidiasis provide more specificguidance about when to include these foods. These are normally veryhealthy foods, but because of their starch or sugar content, they have thepotential to worsen Candidiasis. They can be an important part of a healthydiet, but only in moderation. Candidiasis makes you crave not only sweets,but also starchy and yeasty foods. Many people overindulge in these foodsnot even realizing that they can be a problem.

Some of the grains listed here may be new to you, like spelt or kamut. Theseare alternatives to wheat. Many people who cannot tolerate wheat enjoythese grains in its place. Kamut and spelt breads are popular, as are whole-grainkamut or spelt pastas. They are excellent nutritious foods, but like any grain,they are high in starch and need to be eaten in moderation.

Most fruits are restricted during yeast treatment, but the ones listed belowcontribute the least to yeast overgrowth and can be added in moderationnear the end of treatment.

Grains Sweet or Starchy Vegetables

brown rice (any kind) sweet potatoes whole-grain pasta (rice, kamut, spelt) parsnips whole-grain yeast-free breads potatoes organic oatmeal cooked carrots oat, spelt, or kamut whole grains sauerkraut, pickles

(may contain yeast-like Fruits substances) lemons or semi-sweet fruits (apples, pears, peaches, plums, watermelons)

Sweeteners Near the end of your program, you may be able to take some natural sweeteners(in very small amounts) besides stevia. The following natural sweetenerstend to be more nutritious and therefore better tolerated than other sugars: apple juice (as a sweetener, not a beverage) rice syrup organic molasses fruit-source powder SucanatTM

19

There are other natural sweeteners, but the ones listed here tend to be thebest tolerated. You may tolerate some better than others. Remember not tooverdo it, as these foods will feed Candida.

The Sweetener Stevia

Stevia extract is a very special sweetener and a lifesaver for those withCandida. It contains no glucose and, therefore, does not nourish yeast at all.Satisfying the sugar craving with stevia can prevent many a regretful sugarbinge caused by Candida urgings. This amazing extract is approximately 40times sweeter than sugar (1 tsp. = approx. 1 cup sugar). It comes in a powder(which can be dispensed in a salt shaker) or a liquid and can be heated ordissolved in liquids. It is so versatile it can even be used to sweeten bakedgoods. There is a broad range in the quality of Stevia.

Many of the Foods on these Lists Are New to Me

If you are unfamiliar with some of the foods on the above lists, tips on cookingthem can be found in some vegetarian cookbooks. The reading list at theend of this booklet includes some cookbook suggestions.

Tuning up Your Taste Buds

The Standard North American Diet (SAD) consists of heavily salted andsweetened foods. Over stimulation of our taste buds desensitizes them.Over time, our tongues become unable to taste anything that is not excessivelysweet, salty, or coated in the flavour enhancer MSG. By reacquainting our-selves with healthy, nutritious food, we can "tune up" our taste buds, so thatthey can appreciate a wider palate of flavours.

"Re-educating" our taste buds can also result in the development of healthiercravings. Instead of craving ice cream when we need calcium, we will cravealmonds or broccoli. Instead of craving chocolate to get our magnesium, wewill crave tofu or dried apricots. These more nutritious nutrient sources alsocontain synergistic nutrients that are required for proper assimilation of thespecific vitamins and minerals needed from the food.

20

Beginning the Anti-Candida Diet

Foods from the "REDUCE" list should be eliminated for the first 2 weeks oftreatment for mild Candidiasis, the first 4 weeks of treatment for moderateCandidiasis, and the first 6 to 8 weeks for severe Candidiasis. Some practitioners recommend an even longer period of total carbohydraterestriction. After that, these foods can be eaten in moderation depending onyour tolerance. The recommendations in the program section (Chapter Six)will help you determine when you are well enough to reintroduce the"REDUCE" foods.

Foods from the "NO" list, i.e., sugar, vinegar, alcohol, yeast, and other fermented foods, should not be eaten for the duration of the program. Youwill become much more in tune with your bodys reactions to foods onceyou have been on the program for a little while. Filling in the questionnaireregularly will help you to develop a greater awareness of your bodysresponses to different foods.

Food Cravings

At the beginning of your YEAST BUSTERTM program, you will probably findthat your desire for these foods increases as you start to kill off some of theCandida. The yeast requires these foods for its survival. As it begins tostarve, you feel as if you are being urged to eat these very foods, from apowerful force within. It can feel not unlike a drug addicts craving for drugsin some cases. Unfortunately, the only way to starve the yeast of theirfavourite foods is to "starve" yourself of them. Keeping this thought in mindcan be helpful for drumming up the will power required to resist thesetreats.

Some Candida treatment books offer "Stage 1, 2, and 3" diets andrecommend that you stay on each stage for a predetermined length of time.The YEAST BUSTERTM approach is based on the belief that food choices anddiet modification need to be individualized, depending on the severity ofyour condition. The other "cookie-cutter" type of program may seem simpler,but doesnt account for the fact that each person heals at a different speed.You need to tune in to what you can tolerate. This is the reason for thecustomized approach of the YEAST BUSTER program.

21

Eat a Healthy Variety of Foods

When following a restricted diet, it is important that you eat a variety offoods to ensure you consume a broad spectrum of nutrients. The vitamins,minerals, and fibre derived from eating nutritious foods, play an importantrole in your recovery.

The Healing Crisis

Changing to a healthier diet free of artificial flavours, colours and preservatives;processed foods; and excess sugars and fats can kick start the bodysimmune and cleansing systems into high gear, stimulating various detoxifi-cation reactions, also known as "healing crises." Headaches, fatigue, skinrashes, diarrhea, or flu-type symptoms are common. Some toxins can bestored in the body for a long time and eventually cause problems as theyaccumulate. During a cleansing program such as the YEAST BUSTERTM

program, toxins are mobilized into the blood stream so that they can betransported out of the body. Depending on your total level of toxins andoverall health when beginning your Candida treatment, you may or may notexperience reactions to this process.

Generally speaking, the worse your symptoms during detoxification, themore wastes you have built up in your system. If you stop putting toxins inand provide some support for the elimination process, your body will seizethe opportunity to cleanse itself.

If the cleansing process does stimulate a healing crisis, it is important to lookat this as a sign that you are becoming healthier and to exercise patience,while your body gradually comes back to a state of balance. Most people onthe YEAST BUSTERTM program, notice substantial improvement in 2 to 8weeks. Healing crises symptoms usually last only a few days. If your symp-toms last longer, it is possible that you may be experiencing food or chemicalsensitivities. The relationship between Candida and allergies is explained inthe next chapter. If symptoms are serious or persist more than a few days,consult a qualified health care provider.

Chapter FourCANDIDA, INDIGESTION,

AND ALLERGIES

The healthy digestive system will efficiently break foods down into their smallest components (amino acids, simple sugars, fatty acids, etc.) so thatthey can be absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.

The digestive system that is stricken with Candida is compromised. Candidafungus growing on the surface of the intestinal tract creates a barrier thatprevents proper absorption of dietary nutrients and leads to malnutrition. Asa result, both obesity and emaciation (extreme thinness) are commonlyassociated with the Candida problem. One may be hungry shortly after eatingbecause the much-needed vitamins and minerals were not properlyabsorbed. The appetite can almost become constant, which can lead toweight gain. The opposite can also be true. If digestion and/or absorption arecompromised to the point that very little is being absorbed, one can experiencerapid weight loss and, in fact, starve.

23

The yeast stifles the action of friendly bacteria needed to help break fooddown. Thus Candida overgrowth often results in accumulations of undigestedfood that putrefy (or literally rot) in the intestines and promote the growthof pathogenic bacteria. The more of these undesirable bacteria found in theintestines, the more indigestion, gas, bloating, and intestinal toxicity will beexperienced. These unfavourable conditions can also lead to diarrhea andconstipation.

The liver and kidneys are stressed by the increased responsibility of eliminatingCandida waste products (mycotoxins). These organs are not only importanteliminative organs, but they also play a key role in the digestive process.When these organs become congested with Candida and mycotoxins, ourdigestion is further compromised. When normal digestive functions are disturbed, nutrient deficiency ensues.

Allergies and the Candida Connection

People with severe Candida are prone to all types of allergies because ofcompromised immune and intestinal health. Common allergens for patientssuffering from Candida include wheat, dairy foods, chemicals, smoke, perfume, and car exhaust fumes. These allergens can provoke uniqueresponses from one person to the next.

Why Am I More Sensitive to Chemicals Now?Some people with Candidiasis will find themselves more sensitive tochemicals like car exhaust fumes, perfume, cologne, acetone, petroleum-based products, and formaldehyde (such as is found in building materials,paints, and carpets). The toxins released by Candida (especially acetaldehyde)are chemically very similar to these substances and have irritated theimmune system. Thus, it is not uncommon for the Candida sufferer tobecome hypersensitive to acetaldehyde-like substances.

The most common reactions to chemicals include asthma attacks, swollennose or eyes, chest pain, dizziness, and headaches, but breathing in chemicalscan cause symptoms as surprising as diarrhea. Ones tolerance to these substances will improve once the Candida problem is overcome and theimmune system is back to normal.

24

Leaky Gut Syndrome and Food Sensitivities

During treatment as the fungus is killed, it shrivels and falls off the surfaceof the intestine. This can leave behind perforations where the mycelial"roots" were imbedded. This condition of perforations in the bowel is called"Leaky Gut Syndrome."

In Leaky Gut Syndrome, the larger-than-normal openings in the intestinalwall left by the fungus allow undigested particles of food to pass into theblood stream before the digestive enzymes have finished breaking themdown. The result is havoc in the immune system, which frequently results infood sensitivities.

The immune system is responsible for protecting the body from foreign sub-stances. When it encounters undigested particles of food in the bloodstream, it may interpret them as being foreign substances and react protec-tively, stimulating an immune reaction. The body then becomes sensitized tothis food substance and, in some cases, may have an allergic response thenext time it encounters that food. Reducing repeated exposure to thesefoods helps to prevent new allergies from forming. Foods containing largefat or protein molecules, like dairy, soy, and wheat, are more likely to causethese reactions, because they are difficult for the compromised digestivesystem to break down.

It is wise to avoid over consuming any foods that irritate your body whileon the YEAST BUSTERTM program, as there is the potential for new allergiesto develop. If the yeast has progressed to its fungal form and spread, it ismore likely that food sensitivities will be a problem.

Common Food Sensitivities Include: chocolate citrus fruit corn dairy products deep-fried foods eggs food additives mushrooms soy products tomatoes yeast products wheat (includes nightshade family foods, (esp. tomatoes, eggplant, white flour products)

peppers, potatoes)

25

How Do I Know If I Have Food Sensitivities?

If you frequently suffer from indigestion, fatigue, or other discomfort aftermeals, you may have food sensitivities. Food sensitivities can also cause amultitude of other symptoms not commonly associated with allergies. Thesymptoms of food allergies and Candidiasis are interrelated and often overlap.Youll notice that a list of common food sensitivity/allergy symptoms looksa lot like a Candida symptom list.

Will I Ever Be Able To Eat My Favourite Foods Again?

If your allergies have been caused by reduced immunity and increasedintestinal permeability related to Candidiasis, they will most likely betemporary. However, investigations stimulated by the Candida illness mayreveal long-standing allergies that you were previously unaware of andsome of these allergies may be permanent.

The YEAST BUSTERTM program includes a special fibre blend (PSYLLIUMseed and husk powder) that helps to soothe the intestinal tract. Once thetract is restored to health, you will no longer be as susceptible to developingnew allergies. It is important to avoid your allergens during your recovery asthey stress the immune system and intestinal tract. With proper manage-ment of your intestinal and immune health, you should be able to enjoymost of these foods again.

How Can I Determine What My Food Sensitivities Are?

There are many different methods used to detect allergies. Complementaryand naturopathic health care professionals are generally more adept at allergyinvestigation than medical doctors. The holistic approach to health careattempts to remove health stresses (like food allergies) while fortifying thepatients immune system. As a result, holistically-minded researchers havegone to great efforts to develop non-invasive diagnostic methods for detectingfood sensitivities and allergies.

26

Four of the most common methods used to uncover hidden food allergies/sensitivities are described below in brief. Hidden allergies are reactions tofoods that are not obvious because they are not immediate. Some reactions mayoccur as long as 3 days after ingestion, and symptoms of food allergies areat least as varied as symptoms of Candidiasis. Whatever diagnostic methodyou employ, it is only a guide. No method of allergy detection is 100 percentaccurate. It is important that you listen to your body, allowing your intuitionto guide you.

Common Methods of Food Allergy/Sensitivity Detection

1) Electro-Acupuncture Testing This method is reasonably priced, non-invasive, and available at manyprogressive naturopathic clinics. It is estimated to be 85% effective. One ofits main advantages is that it can identify both food sensitivities and actualallergies. There are several different types of computer programs used forthis test, including the "Interro," "Acubase," and "Listen" systems. These areall biofeedback machines that register the patients response to stimulidirected at acupuncture points.

2) Blood TestsBlood tests to detect specific antibodies or white blood cell reactions to particular foods are available (ELISA, RAST, or IgE). The ELISA seems to bethe most sensitive methods of detecting delayed allergic response but it isquite expensive.

3) Elimination / Provocation Diet This approach to allergy diagnosis involves eliminating all suspected aller-gens for a period of time (usually 2 weeks). According to a very precise andorderly schedule, "suspect" foods are reintroduced one at a time, andresponses to them carefully recorded in a food diary. After the body has hada break from an irritating substance, it will recover its defenses and will usu-ally respond quite clearly when an offending food is eaten. This approachallows one to match specific reactions with specific foods. Other methodsmore quickly determine which foods cause problems, but not which prob-lems they are causing.

27

4) The Scratch Test The common scratch test is available under Provincial Health InsurancePlans. It is relatively painless but it detects only some types of allergies.False negatives are common, as are false positives. (Only an estimated1015% of food sensitivities can be detected by this method.

The Rotation Diet to Prevent New Food Sensitivities

If your Candidiasis is severe and food sensitivities are creating a challengefor you, you may have to take a very cautious approach to your diet. Themost effective way to prevent the development of food allergies duringCandida treatment, is to utilize a rotation diet. The theory behind this diet isthat it takes 4 days to clear a food completely from the body. If each food isconsumed only every 4 days, the potential for an allergy to develop fromover-exposure is minimized.

For example, on the rotation diet, buckwheat would be eaten only onceevery 4 days. You could eat it several times on that day, but not eat it againfor another 4 days. The help of a rotation diet book that includes a chart, canmake this process surprisingly simple. The chart classifies foods into groups:grains, beans, vegetables, meats. For each day of the rotation, you choosefrom a selection of allowable foods within each group. An added benefit ofthis approach is that it ensures the inclusion of a diverse variety of foods,thus improving overall nutrition.

As your health improves and your intestinal walls get a chance to heal,digestive ability returns to normal. You will also begin to receive clear "innersignals" about foods that, if heeded, will keep you on the right track.

NOTE: Individuals who are extremely susceptible to developing new sensitivities should include PSYLLIUM fibre in the rotation, i.e., use it ononly one day of four. Over the other three days use a different fibre on eachday (e.g. oat bran, rice bran, and flax powder).

YEAST BUSTERTM

PRODUCTS

YEAST BUSTERTM CandidaTrauma Kit

What is it?The YEAST BUSTERTM Candida Trauma Kitincludes four very effective products: PSYLLIUM Blend, CAPROIL antifungal liquid, BENTONITE liquid clay, and DDSAcidophilus capsules. The products in thiskit are mixed together to form a high-fibreantifungal drink that helps clear excessyeast out of the intestines. The drink isprepared by combining the PSYLLIUM,

BENTONITE, and CAPROIL in the shaker supplied and mixing with water ordiluted fruit juice. The DDS ACIDOPHILUS is taken at a separate time, preferablyat bedtime.

Why does it work so well? As the PSYLLIUM-BENTONITE-CAPROIL mixture passes through the intes-tines, it thickens into an absorbent gel. This gel acts like an absorbent scrubbrush in the bowel. The movements of the intestines turn it around andaround, forcing it against the sides of the intestines, where it scrubs Candidaaway and soaks up toxins for easy elimination. Lets now take a closer lookat each ingredient in the YEAST BUSTERTM antifungal drink.

29

A. YEAST BUSTERTM PSYLLIUM (TheScrub Brush)

PSYLLIUM forms a metaphorical "brush." Thebulking action of the PSYLLIUM "brush" forces theCAPROIL and BENTONITE against the sides of thebowel.

YEAST BUSTERTM PSYLLIUM is a blend of PSYLLIUMseed and husk. The bulking and lubricating husk softenshardened fecal matter for easier elimination, while thegrainy seed powder has a gentle exfoliating action thathelps scrub the sides of the intestines.

YEAST BUSTERTM PSYLLIUM is a soothing and cleansingfibre that lubricates and adds bulk to the stool to facili-tate more frequent elimination. It is also able to absorbtoxins to some degree.

B. YEAST BUSTERTM CAPROIL (TheDetergent)

CAPROIL acts like "detergent" on the brush, killingyeast on contact. Caprylic acid is the main active ingre-dient in CAPROIL. It is a short-chain fatty acid extractedfrom coconut oil. It is effective against both the yeastand fungal forms of Candida. YEAST BUSTERTM

CAPROIL provides caprylic acid that naturally containsoleic acid. Oleic acid helps prevent Candida yeast fromtransforming into the mycelial form.

YEAST BUSTERTM liquid CAPROIL is a very gentleproduct when taken with PSYLLIUM and BENTONITE.The PSYLLIUM gel holds on to the caprylic acid andpulls it slowly through the intestinal tract so that it can

perform its task without stressing the liver. In comparison, pill preparationsof caprylic acid are difficult to tolerate, because the concentrated caprylicacid is passed straight to the liver for processing. It is extremely importantthat the CAPROIL be taken with PSYLLIUM and water.

30

C. Liquid Hydrated YEAST BUSTERTM

BENTONITE Clay (The Sponge)

BENTONITE acts like a sponge, holding on to deadyeast and toxins and helping the PSYLLIUM pullthe unwanted toxins and debris out of the body. YEAST BUSTERTM Liquid BENTONITE is a superadsorbent liquid clay that has been scientificallyproven to adsorb (attract) toxins, bacteria, andviruses. Combining this powerful substance withthe PSYLLIUMs absorptive power and bulkingaction ensures that wastes are quickly eliminated.

D. DDS ACIDOPHILUS (The Friendly Bacteria

Supplement) ACIDOPHILUS is the most pro-active friendly bacteria in the human gut. ACIDOPHILUS helps toprotect us from pathogens like Candida by keep-ing yeast populations under control.Unfortunately, most of us are deficient in ACIDOPHILUS owing to the many factors in modernlifestyles that kill our good bacteria. Chlorinatedwater, antibiotics, and food preservatives killgood bacteria as well as bad.

The DDS strain of ACIDOPHILUS is the mostpotent, well researched ACIDOPHILUS on the market. This therapeutic-strength bacteria was developed by a prominent leader in probioticsresearch, the renowned Dr. S. Dash, founder of UAS Laboratories.

This high-quality ACIDOPHILUS supplement is an essential element of theYEAST BUSTERTM program. DDS ACIDOPHILUS has been shown to releasehydrogen peroxide, which helps control the yeast and other pathogens. DDSACIDOPHILUS has also been shown to release acidophilin (a natural antibiotic),B vitamins, Vitamin K, and lactase (the enzyme required to break down milk).

31

Because of its therapeutic potency, the inclusion of this product is importantto the success of the YEAST BUSTERTM program. Substituting this productwith a cheaper, less effective Acidophilus, may interfere with your results onthe program.

DDS ACIDOPHILUS is a human-compatible bacteria strain that is grown ona hypoallergenic, dairy-free, starch-rich medium. Superior, leading edgetechnology ensures that the bacteria is carefully extracted from the mediumon which it is grown. This results in a supplement of whole, undamaged,therapeutically active bacteria. Once introduced into the intestinal tract,these potent bacteria begin multiplying immediately, thus restoring the population of health-promoting bacteria. Each DDS ACIDOPHILUS bacteriumhas been shown in human studies to be capable of multiplying up to 200times. This hearty strain of bacteria has the endurance required to success-fully implant itself into the intestinal wall and take up residence for long-lastinghealth benefits. An optimum population of L. Acidophilus in our intestines,can increase our resistance to many types of infections and prevent a recurrence of Candidiasis.

For best results, DDS ACIDOPHILUS capsules should be taken separatelyfrom the other products in the kit. If the PSYLLIUM mixture is taken in themorning, the ACIDOPHILUS could be taken at bedtime.

YEAST BUSTERTM Teamwork

The four ingredients in the YEAST BUSTERTM KIT work synergistically and, infact, depend on each other for their effectiveness. The CAPROIL liquid is aneffective antifungal treatment only when mixed with the PSYLLIUM. When itis evenly dispersed in the PSYLLIUM, it is pressed against the sides of theintestinal tract where it kills the Candida. If it is not mixed with the PSYLLI-UM, which escorts it to the bowel, most of the CAPROIL will be broken downin the liver and will never reach its intended destination.

BENTONITEs detoxifying properties are crucial for a successful Candidapurge. Killing off Candida can result in a temporary burden on the body, astoxins and dead yeast can be absorbed from the intestines into the blood-stream. BENTONITE has the important job of picking up these poisons andreducing the discomfort ("Die-Off") that may otherwise be experienced as

32

the body struggles to eliminate these wastes. As with the CAPROIL, the bulkingaction of the PSYLLIUM is essential to the effectiveness of the BENTONITE.The BENTONITE is evenly dispersed in the PSYLLIUM fibre, which presses itagainst the sides of the intestinal tract to more effectively pick up the toxins.Taken alone, it will be essentially useless.

For a complete recovery from Candidiasis and for increased resistance toCandida overgrowth in the future, it is critical that the populations of goodbacteria be restored. After cleansing, the intestines are clean, but essentiallystripped of their defenses (the beneficial bacteria). For best results, atherapeutic-strength Acidophilus bacteria supplement like DDS ACIDOPHILUS should be used.

Instructions For Using theYEAST BUSTERTM Candida Trauma Kit

Use the kit for two weeks before adding YEAST BUSTERTM GRAPEFRUITSEED EXTRACT or OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT (described in the following pgs.)to your program.

Once a day (preferably first thing in the morning) combine:

8 oz, (1 cup) reverse osmosis or distilled water OR 6 oz ,purified water + 2 oz, noncitrus unsweetened juice (e.g. apple,

pineapple, peach) 1 rounded tsp PSYLLIUM powder 1 tbsp BENTONITE liquid 2 tsp CAPROIL (Start with 1/2 this amount and gradually increase to 2 tsp

to minimize die-off reactions, also described following.)

For best results, add PSYLLIUM to mixture last. DRINK IMMEDIATELY ormixture will thicken in glass.

Once a day (preferably at bedtime and on an empty stomach), take 2 capsulesof DDS ACIDOPHILUS with water. Continue this protocol for a minimum of8 weeks. Refills will be required.

33

NOTE: Medications or supplements should not be taken within 2 hours of taking PSYLLIUM, as they will not be absorbed.

"Phasing Out" the YEAST BUSTERTM KIT:Once symptoms are relieved, use of the YEAST BUSTERTM KIT should be discontinued gradually.

"Phasing Out" YEAST BUSTERTM CAPROIL While continuing with the rest of the YEAST BUSTERTM antifungal drink,

reduce the CAPROIL to every other day for 1 week Then reduce to twice a week for one week Then discontinue completely

If the CAPROIL is taken consecutively for too long there is a chance that theCandida may develop resistance to it. After 4 months of daily use, it shouldonly be taken every other week, alternated with YEAST BUSTERTM OLIVELEAF EXTRACT.

"Phasing Out" YEAST BUSTERTM PSYLLIUM,BENTONITE, and DDS ACIDOPHILUS:

While healing continues, it can be helpful to support intestinal hygiene bycontinuing to use BENTONITE, PSYLLIUM, and DDS ACIDOPHILUS. TheBENTONITE requires the PSYLLIUM to work properly and the PSYLLIUMneeds to be taken with a daily does of ACIDOPHILUS to maintain thepopulation of friendly bacteria. If used without an ACIDOPHILUS supple-ment, PSYLLIUMs bulking action could eventually remove friendly as well aspathogenic bacteria.

COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS

Introducing YEAST BUSTERTM

OLIVE LEAF Extract

The YEAST BUSTERTM OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT has been standardized to contain12 percent Oleuropein (antifungal), the highest potency available. A potentantifungal like OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT is essential to overcome systemicCandidiasis.

YEAST BUSTERTM OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT, is an extract of the leaves of the asnatures most powerful antibiotic and for its ability to combat yeast, fungus, bacteria, and viruses. It has been used for centuries by Middle Easterncultures to treat fevers and a broad spectrum of microbial disorders includingfever, coughs, cystitis, and skin problems. With the overuse and abuse ofantibiotics and the growing number of bacteria that mutate and becomemore virulent with each new generation, an effective natural antimicrobiallike OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT is an important nontoxic alternative remedy.

Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, although lethal to many undesirable bacteria,Olive Leaf appears to be harmless to friendly intestinal flora, making it anideal treatment for intestinal infestations like Candidiasis. For more information on "Natures Antibiotic," see Dr Morton Walkers book entitledOlive Leaf Extract (Natures Antibiotic).

Instructions for using YEAST BUSTERTM

OLIVE LEAF EXTRACTUse the YEAST BUSTERTM kit for two weeks before starting OLIVE LEAFEXTRACT.

On an empty stomach: Week 1: Take one capsule, once a day. Week 2: Take one capsule, twice a day. Week 3: Take one capsule, three times daily. Week 4: Take two capsules, three times a day, until symptoms have ceased(to a maximum of 4 months at a time).

35

"Phasing Out" YEAST BUSTERTM

OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT:

Decrease to 1 capsule 3 times a day, for 1 week. Then further decrease to 2 capsules a day, for 1 week. Then use 1 capsule a day for 1 week, before discontinuing completely.

NOTE: If OLIVE LEAF is taken without a break for too long, Candida canbecome resistant to it. If treatment is desired for more than 4 months, theextract may be taken every other week (alternated with CAPROIL).

YEAST BUSTERTM GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT

Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE), is a biologically active extract made from theseeds and pulp of grapefruits. Lab tests and clinical experiments show thatGSE inactivates many conditions such as Acne, Colds/Flu, Cold Sores, Cutsand Wounds, Diarrhea, Parasites, Rashes, Sinusitis, and Ulcers. See the GSEbrochure for more details. YEAST BUSTERTM GSE is available in liquid andcapsule form (1 capsule = 12-15 drops liquid GSE).

Since Candida can and does develop resistance to antifungalcompounds, GSE has been added to the YEAST BUSTERTM program as analternate to be rotated with other antifungals, such as Caproil. After 4months of consecutive use of Caproil, it is recommended to switch toGRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT if further cleansing is required.

How to use GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT for Candida

To reduce the die off reaction, start with the following protocol:

Week 1: take 5 drops once per dayWeek 2: take 10 drops once per dayWeek 3: take 15 drops once per day

Continue with 15 drops once per day for the remainder of the 4 months.

36

NOTE: drops must be diluted in water, even when taken with the YEASTBUSTER mixture of BENTONITE, PSYLLIUM husks/seeds powder.

To "Phase Out" GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT:Reduce by 5 drops per week, starting with 15, over 3 weeks before discon-tinuing.

YEAST BUSTERTM BLACK WALNUT COMPLEX

Finally, a balanced formula to help prevent parasitic infections and speedrecovery from an active infection. The Inno-Vite Black Walnut Complexformula is made in small batches (not mass produced), with consistentbatch-to-batch quality. It was formulated and developed by an experiencedherbalist with decades of experience in traditional botanical medicine.

Unfortunately, many botanical products today do not follow the principles oftime-honoured traditional medicine. Growing, harvesting, production, andmanufacturing must all be done according the principles that have madebotanicals an effective form of medicine for centuries across the globe.

This balanced formula adheres to these principles of traditional medicine,and whenever possible, organically-grown or wild-crafted herbs were used.Formulators, must consider the whole body. A formula that only kills para-sites puts the rest of the body under considerable stress and potential harm.A balanced formula is needed, which considers the effects on the body asparasites die-off and release toxins this is what Inno-Vites Black WalnutComplex offers.

The Black Walnut Complex can be used as an alternative to Olive Leaf Extractor can alternated with the other anti-microbials in the Yeast Buster familywhen on an extended program.

Instructions for Using Yeast Buster Black Walnut Complex:

Directions depend on whether you are taking the tincture or capsule version.Note that while the tincture version is preferred, the capsules should be justas effective.

37

Capsules: Adults 2 capsules 3 times daily between meals on an emptystomach.Tincture: Adults 15 drops (may be mixed with water), 4 times daily,between meals on an empty stomach.

Whether you take the capsules or tincture, its recommended that this productbe used according to the following schedule: 2 weeks on and 1 week off.During the off week, you may use Caproil alone, or one of the other anti-microbials in the Yeast Buster family.

DIE-OFF You may have to feel worse before you feel better

The phrases "die-off" and "Herxheimer Reaction" refer to the discomfort thatmay be experienced as the body begins to flush out toxins released byCandida as it dies. The YEAST BUSTERTM KIT is designed to minimize thisreaction through the detoxifying action of the PSYLLIUM and BENTONITE.Die-off symptoms can include fatigue, headache, mental "fogginess," diarrhea,nasal congestion, and a vast myriad of other symptoms. These reactionsrarely last more than a few days and can be viewed as a signal that theprogram is working.

If die-off symptoms are mild, you may wish to take the YEAST BUSTERTM

antifungal drink twice a day to speed up your recovery. The YEAST BUSTERTM

DDS ACIDOPHILUS may also be taken twice a day.

If progress is rushed, the die-off reaction can be severe. It is for this reasonthat on this program, the CAPROIL and OLIVE LEAF dosages are increasedvery gradually. These antifungal components of the program can causesignificant die-off. As the antifungals kill the yeast, some of the Candida-relatedsymptoms might temporarily worsen. Sugar cravings may increase or irritability and depression may worsen. It is for this reason that the dosagesof OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT and CAPROIL are increased slowly on the program.If die-off symptoms become too uncomfortable, the CAPROIL and/or OLIVELEAF EXTRACT (the antifungals) should be reduced temporarily and thengradually increased again. If severe symptoms develop, see your healthpractitioner.

Chapter SixTHE YEAST BUSTERTM

ANTI-CANDIDA PROGRAM "Putting It All Together"

You have already established your score on the questionnaire at the begin-ning of the booklet. The following diet and product recommendations arebased on your score (mild, moderate, or severe). Start with the treatmentrecommendations for the level of Candidiasis you have. The instructions foreach section are summarized in chart form for your convenience. Use thequestionnaire on the following pages to score yourself every week. Thisongoing information is essential for you to be able to adjust the program asyou progress.

The yeast stifles the action of friendly bacteria needed to help break fooddown. Thus Candida overgrowth often results in accumulations of undigestedfood that putrefy in the intestines and promote the growth of putrefactivebacteria. The greater the presence of these undesirable bacteria in the intes-tines, the more indigestion, gas, bloating, and intestinal toxicity we willexperience. These unfavourable conditions can also lead to diarrhea andconstipation.

39

The liver and kidneys are stressed by the increased responsibility of elimi-nating Candida waste products (mycotoxins). These organs are not onlyimportant eliminative organs but they also play a key role in the digestiveprocess. When these organs become congested with Candida and mycotoxins,our digestion is compromised further. When normal digestive functions aredisturbed, nutrient deficiency ensues.

Questionnaire Section

This questionnaire is designed to be completed every week for up to 16 consecutive weeks. Devoting a few minutes a week to this exercise will bewell worth your effort as it will provide a clear indication of your progress onthe program. The encouragement an improved score can give you is animportant ingredient for success with the YEAST BUSTERTM Program.

While you are on the program, some of your symptoms may disappear orchange, while others may temporarily worsen. This is normal. Using thequestionnaire regularly allows you to see the overall picture as you improve.

If your symptoms become severe while you are on the program, see yourhealth care professional.

Please note: The questionnaire has been included to help you or your healthpractitioner determine the likelihood that your health problems are Candidarelated. The score analysis here is intended for use as a general guide. A positive score does not indicate a definite diagnosis of Candida, nor doesthis questionnaire provide an exhaustive list of Candidiasis symptoms. Aspreviously mentioned, there are other health conditions that can produce asimilar set of symptoms. Keep in mind that these other conditions are oftenaccompanied by a Candida problem.

40

Candida Questionnaire Score each symptom between 0 and 10, depending on the degree to which

it applies to you. If the symptom does not apply, score 0. If the symptom occurs occasionally or is very mild, score 2 or 3 points. If the symptom is frequent or moderately severe, score 5 or 6 points. If the symptom is severe, score 9 or 10 points.

MILD CANDIDIASISDiet Recommendations

Avoid all foods on the "NO" list (pg. 17) throughout the program. Avoidfoods from the "Reduce" list (pgs. 18 & 19) for 2 weeks. Thereafter, as longas you seem to be tolerating them, allow these foods 2 to 3 times in the nextweek. Complete the questionnaire at the end of each week. If your progresscontinues, you may try eating these foods 1 to 2 times a day in moderationuntil symptoms subside completely. Although you might feel fantastic, it iswise to avoid making drastic changes to your diet immediately after the program.

Product Recommendations Use the YEAST BUSTERTM KIT according to directions (pg. 32) for aminimum of 8 weeks. YEAST BUSTERTM GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT and OLIVE LEAF EXTRACTare optional for mild cases of Candidiasis, but will speed recovery and provide additional benefit when used according to the recommendations inthis booklet (pgs. 34-36).

If symptoms have not improved substantially (50% or better) after 4 weekson the program (including the diet), either there are other main factors at playbesides yeast, or you have a very stubborn case of yeast. If the kit alone hasnot been able to overcome the yeast, the body will need additional supportand treatment with OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT ought to be considered. Continuetreatment with the kit while introducing OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT according toinstructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If symptoms have not improved at all after 4 weeks onthe program (including anti-Candida products and diet), see a health careprofessional. In this case, it should be suspected that Candida is not themain source of your symptoms. A complete physical evaluation is indicated.

Summary for Mild Candidiasis NOTE: If your symptoms worsen following any progression on the program,return to the previous diet and product usage for one week, before attemptingthe progression again.

Once a questionnaire score below 35 has been achieved, the program maybe "phased out" as follows:

NOTE: If your symptoms improve and then become worse as you re-introducesome of the "REDUCE" foods, you may need to abstain from them for alonger period of time. A worsening of symptoms can also indicate that youhave uncovered a "hidden" food allergy. (These sensitivities are often "hidden"from us because they do not occur immediately after ingestion. For moreinformation on Candida and allergies see pgs. 23-27). In the case of this sortof relapse, a little detective work may be in order. Meanwhile, listen to yourbody and discontinue the suspected food for another couple of weeks. Whenthe Candida symptoms have improved, you can carefully experiment withthese problem foods again. You may need to eliminate some foods until youhave fully recovered.

MODERATE CANDIDIASISDiet Recommendations

Avoid all foods on the "NO" list throughout the program (pg. 17). For the first3 weeks, also abstain from foods on the "REDUCE" list (pgs. 18 & 19). Thenintroduce "REDUCE" foods 2 to 3 times per week. Complete the question-naire at the end of each week. When symptoms improve to a mild score, youmay eat foods from the "REDUCE" list up to once a day, as tolerated. If"REDUCE" foods have been reintroduced successfully, you can include themup to twice a day until your symptoms subside completely. Although youmight feel fantastic, it is wise to avoid making drastic changes to your dietimmediately after ending the program.

Product Recommendations Use the YEAST BUSTERTM KIT for 2 weeks. Then while continuing on theYEAST BUSTERTM KIT, begin OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT according to instructions.This gradual approach to starting the program is designed to minimize thedie-off reaction. Continue to retest every week using the questionnaire. Stayon the maximum dose of all products until your symptoms subsidecompletely, then gradually discontinue the use of the products according toinstructions. IMPORTANT NOTE: If symptoms have not improved at all after 4 weeks onthe program (including anti-Candida products and diet), consult your healthcare professional. In this case, it should be suspected that Candida is not themain source of your symptoms. A complete physical evaluation is indicated.

Whenthe Candida symptoms have improved, you could experiment with theseproblem foods again, very carefully. You may need to eliminate some foodsuntil you have fully recovered, and then investigate.

Ending the Program

Throughout the program you will notice a continuous improvement of youryeast-related symptoms. (If you do not see a continuous improvement, seea health professional.) Once your yeast-related symptoms have beenrelieved, you can gradually begin to wean off the antifungal treatment andreintroduce some of the restricted foods. The YEAST BUSTERTM Programgives clear instructions on how to reintroduce restricted foods, while gradually"phasing out" each product.

What if I Am Prone to Constipation?The YEAST BUSTERTM KIT includes the bulking agent PSYLLIUM, whichmeans that if you are prone to constipation, you must increase your waterintake substantially. Twice your normal water intake may be required duringthe program. If you have very slow intestinal function, start with a smallamount of PSYLLIUM and gradually build up to the full dose, giving thebowels time to adjust to the higher fibre levels (e.g., starting with one 1/4teaspoon, gradually increase to 1 teaspoon over a one week period). Shouldconstipation occur while you are on the program, stop the YEAST BUSTERTM

KIT until regularity returns and then gradually increase the PSYLLIUM dosewhile drinking ample water. If you are still experiencing difficulty, it may alsobe necessary for you to decrease your BENTONITE intake. Some sensitiveindividuals find that taking a full tablespoon of BENTONITE slows theirbowel transit time. You may need to experiment to discover what dosagesare right for you.

You may use a gentle, non-irritating herbal laxative for a day or so, but itshould not be used continuously or your body may become dependent onit. If available, the Ayurvedic formula from India called Triphala is a product,that can be safely used long-term to support elimination.

How Do I Know When I ShouldStop the Program?

This is a commonly asked question. The answer has to come from your ownexperience. Your results on the questionnaire help you keep track of yourimprovement. Your experiences and/or the changes in your questionnairescores as you reintroduce restricted foods, will be an indicator of how youare progressing and how close you are to finishing the program.

Discontinuing the support of the products too soon, or rapidly returning toprevious dietary habits, may cause a relapse. You may wish to continueusing the questionnaire as a guide to monitoring your condition for the firstlittle while after discontinuing the program. If you find that you havestopped too soon and need to continue support for a bit longer, go back tothe final stages of the diet and the last section of the instructions for theproducts you need.

When your symptoms have essentially cleared and your tolerance to sweetsor yeasts has increased, you will know that you have finished the program.

My Score Is Excellent and I Am Finished the Program.Is the Candida Gone for Good?

As previously mentioned, Candida is a normal inhabitant of our intestinaltract. We cannot eliminate it completely, but we can restore the intestinaltract to a healthy condition and restore the colonies of friendly bacteria thatkeep the Candida population under control. Some pe
