Those of you who have been struggling with Candida albicans (yeast) overgrowth know that it usually takes a multi-pronged approach to heal this condition. Dr. Carolyn Dean has written a book about Yeast treatment and she is also an advisor to yeastconnection.com. She has worked with hundreds of patients personally, getting Candida overgrowth under control.

If you have IBS, you most likely have a Candida (yeast) overgrowth in your gut. You can take this quick yeast questionnaire to determine the probability of whether you have a yeast overgrowth problem

Another area that Dr. Dean specializes in is safe detoxification procedures. Again, anyone with a chronic illness, or who has taken prescription drugs (or who lives on this polluted planet!) needs to detox their body. However, if you detox too rapidly, too harshly, or at the wrong time, you can trigger a flare and rapidly become ill. You have to pursue detoxification in a way and at a pace that your body can handle. Dr. Dean has worked extensively with hyper-sensitive people with chronic illness and autism, so she is the ideal person to guide us through this necessary, but delicate procedure.

Imagine that: Being able to detox without it triggering unpleasant reactions or making you feel sick for a while!

First off, in case you missed it, you can purchase the MP3 Audio recording or pdf written transcript of the Candida, Detox & More! teleseminar with Dr. Dean MD, ND here:

******************************************************

This is an absolute must-have resource for anyone with IBS or IBD. Dr. Carolyn Dean MD, ND specializes in Candida albicans overgrowth (yeast) treatment. She has written a whole book on it, actually!

And in this teleseminar she shares with us her super-effective treatment protocol, along with tips and special insider info for those really stubborn, or hard-to-define cases of yeast infection.

She outlines her special yeast-scrubber-sponge formula of bentonite clay, psyllium seed (or aloe vera if you prefer) and caprylic acid. This protocol is so effective because it absorbs and removes the 178 toxins given off by yeast, as well as the yeast itself. This prevents that awful die-off effect – that can make you sicker than the original infection!

This is then followed by high dose probiotic supplementation.

Dr. Dean introduces us to a new gentle, but effective detox agent, called Phosphatidyl Choline. This can be used to detox from Candida albicans, heavy metals, pesticides, etc. It is so gentle that it is a staple detox agent for autistic children. It is simultaneously healing for the gut and resolves constipation or spastic colon. Here’s the site where you can purchase it and also download an excellent informational pdf.

We also discuss the oft-ignored problem of hormone imbalance in people with IBD, IBS or other chronic illness and what you can do about it – who you can go to for specialized treatment and testing.

Like I said, these are MUST-TRY protocols! And Dr. Dean generously gives us all the dosage instructions and other info needed to implement them on this teleseminar.

Now, whether you purchase the teleseminar or not, here are some additional goodies Dr. Dean sent us after the call:

Here is the study she referenced by Dr. Santelmann in Norway (it includes Dr. Santelmann’s yeast/fungal diagnostic questionnaire, diet guidelines and challenge test). Click here to to download the pdf.

I had a few more questions of my own for Dr. Dean, so here they are along with her answers:

Q: Can you take the bentonite/psyllium/caprylic acid mixture if you are experiencing intestinal bleeding?

A: I don’t think the psyllium would be good in bleeding…and probably not the caprylic acid. Wait until you’ve had no bleeding for several weeks before you begin.

Q: Likewise, can you take the phosphatidyl choline if you are having intestinal bleeding?

A: Yes, there seems to be no problem there.

Q: Lastly, would you still have good results if you left out the psyllium from the bentonite/psyllium/caprylic acid mixture (many don’t tolerate it) and just used bentonite and caprylic acid?

A: Ah, I add aloe when I take out the psyllium. Didn’t get to that part!!

******************************************************

So there you have it, I would think a yeast-sweep mixture of bentonite clay/George’s Aloe Vera Juice/caprylic acid would be very effective, yet soothing.

Please leave a comment below if you try any of these protocols and let me know your results!
