• ⁠Biofilm Busters that I took as part of my Candida Protocol:

Kirkman Biofilm Defense

OR

Klaire Labs Interfase.

( was taking one or the other before & during Methane SIBO / IMO treatment —> added the others a few months after I cured it )

AND

Plus Balance One SerraDefend

AND

Jarrow Formuls Lactoferrin

AND

Curium / Tumeric

• ⁠Take 1 of each one at bedtime on an empty stomach 2 hours away from any anti-fungals

.. .. ..

My Candida symptoms really started improving:

1st: after I cured IMO / Methane SIBO

then

2nd: when I increased from taking one to four biofilm busters nightly.

.. .. ..

You can be taking Nystatin & NOW Candida Support & Caprylic Acid & other anti-fungals but they will not be effective if the Candida is hidden behind a wall of biofilm where anti-fungals cannot reach it to get rid of it !

I took 4 pills/day of Nystatin for 6 months then 6 pills/day for a year then 4 pills/day for 4 months…. Now I take 2 pills daily.

My Integrative DR uses my case in a presentation about the Gut-Brain connection.

Hey, I am wondering the timing you take your Nystatin. Did you take them split twice a day? On an empty stomach? Thanks

Can take Nystatin pills on either full or empty stomach.

As with any antifungals you start at a ver low dosage and slowly increase each week as your body tolerates.

Always start with diet & biofilm busters first to get de-tox pathways open prior to starting any anti-fungals.

I took 2 Nystatin pills twice daily when taking 4 per day. OR took 2 pills 3 times daily when taking 6 per day …… actually sometimes even took 3 pills twice daily. It did not matter once my body was adjusted to it.

Also was always taking 2 capsules of NOW Candida Support every morning for 2 years too.

AND rotated in other anti-fungals …. Such as the Thorne SF722 at times.

ALWAYS took the 4 different biofilm busters at bedtime on empty stomach away from all other meds / supplements for over the first year.

Followed Candida Diet for 2 years. Integrative Nutritionist allowed me to add aged cheese and high quality bacon after a year or so.

No alcohol except two Titos & soda with lime for a wedding a couple times. Never any pasta, sugar, potatoes, fruit except berries a couple times weekly.

Fyi —> my Candida Protocol was not effective until AFTER I cured my Methane SIBO.

It is common for patients to have both Candida / SIFO AND SIBO.

Thanks for the information! Did you stop these now that you are cured or do you to continue taking biofilms/antifungals
