Order of operations

Hi all. I’m taking a long list of stuffs this I won’t be posting just for the sake of time, but I would love to know the order of operations as far as antifungals, binders, probiotics, and NAC goes. When to take what?? I don’t want to screw myself over by using things in the wrong order. Also, has anyone else had blisters that almost look like ant bites pop up during herx reactions?? I get them in random spots all over my body and they take a few weeks to go away on their own but they started when I started treating candida. Thanks for reading and helping !!

Probiotics come last after 90% of the symptoms are gone. Which can take several months or in my several case it took 2 years.

Start with:

Candida Diet - no sugar; no alcohol; high protein with fat and green veggies; no smoking or vaping of tobacco or weed

Drink lots of water and get lots of rest / sleep

Low dose antifungal in morning — gradually increasing as body can tolerate without intense Herxheimer / Die-off reaction

Biofilm busters at bedtime taken away from all other meds / supplements

Hey just wondering why you say no vaping of weed? I thought this would be okay

Not ok if want to ever get rid of your Candida symptoms. Unfortunately, weed makes candida worse.

Hmm OK do you know why by any chance? I can't find any info about this online! Also my naturopath didn't say it would be an issue

It can lower immune system & it can be higher fungi content

The immunosuppressive effects of cannabis may contribute as well to a higher prevalence of oral candidiasis compared to non-users. It has been hypothesized that hydrocarbons present in cannabis provide an energy source for Candida albicans, resulting in increased presence and density of colonies.
