Many people suffer from candidiasis, a Candida infection.

Candida is a unicellular fungus that normally lives in the mouth, intestines, vagina, and skin without causing clinical symptoms, being kept under control by beneficial bacteria, the immune system, and the body's normal pH. When this balance is disrupted (by antibiotics that destroy beneficial bacteria, by stress or cortisone which suppress immunity, or by a diet rich in sugar or other carbohydrates, since Candida feeds on sugar), Candida multiplies uncontrollably, leading to candidiasis.

Here are some useful measures for intestinal candidiasis, which should be adopted in all other forms of candidiasis, because it is pointless to treat oral, vaginal, or skin candidiasis if Candida remains active in the intestines:

Antifungal diet, which is absolutely essential:

• • Completely exclude for at least 3–4 weeks from the diet: sugar (including honey, syrups, dried fruits), sweet fruits (such as bananas, grapes, mango), white bread, pasta, white flour, dairy products (especially fermented cheeses and milk), alcohol including beer, vinegar (except raw apple cider vinegar), fermented products.

Phase 1 of treatment

• • Elimination of fungi (21 days):
    • Berberine, 500 mg, twice a day, before meals;
    • Oregano oil (enteric capsules) 150–200 mg carvacrol, one capsule twice a day, during meals. Do not take on an empty stomach.
    • Extra virgin coconut oil. 1 teaspoon 2–3 times a day, after meals. Can be gradually increased up to 1 tablespoon if it does not cause nausea. I recommend mixing it well in coffee or tea with a blender.

Phase 2 of treatment:

• • Restoration of flora and mucosa (after day 21, for 3 months):
    • Probiotic - 1 capsule/day, in the morning on an empty stomach, for 2–3 months;
    • Zeolit spectrum – for restoring the intestinal mucosa, 6 capsules per day, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. In some people, it may cause temporary constipation in the first days, so it is advisable to drink 2 liters of water per day. Because zeolite detoxifies the body, dizziness, headaches, and digestive symptoms may appear in the first days due to the elimination of a large amount of toxins. Therefore, it is best to start with 1 capsule per day and gradually increase the dose by 1 capsule per day until reaching the normal dose.
    • Optional but recommended to support the liver: Silymarin, 1 capsule per day.

In the case of oral candidiasis, add:

1. Coconut oil – very good

• Contains lauric and caprylic acid, with direct antifungal effect.
• How to use:
  • Mouth rinses (“oil pulling”): 1 tablespoon of coconut oil held in the mouth for 10-15 minutes, then spat out, 1-2 times a day.
  • Can also be applied directly on the mucosa with a sterile swab, 2-3 times a day.
• Advantage: gentle, safe even for children.

2. Oregano oil 

• It is one of the most powerful natural antifungals (contains carvacrol and thymol).
• How to use:
  • Do not apply directly, as it irritates the mucosa!
  • Dilute 1-2 drops in 1 tablespoon of coconut or olive oil, then rinse for 1-2 minutes and spit out.
  • Once a day at first, then every 2 days if irritation occurs.
• Not recommended for small children and pregnant women.
