Dealing With Yeast Die-Off Reactions

 

 

Many yeast sufferers, after starting a program for yeast control, have experienced a worsening of their condition. This can of course be a most unsettling and discouraging development and if not understood and addressed effectively, may not only forestall one's progress, but possibly bring it to a screeching halt. We therefore want to share our insights and strategies to minimize the chances of suffering unnecessarily from yeast die-off reactions.

 

Common yeast die-off symptoms, some individuals may develop one or several of these concurrently

 

Fatigue, brain fog, gastro-intestinal distress such as nausea, gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation, low grade fever, headache, sore throat, body itch, muscle and / or joint soreness or pain, feeling as if  coming down with a flu.

 

Be aware that contrary to popularly held misconception, yeast die-off reactions are not a sign that yeast treatment is succeeding. It is an indication that yeast cells are dying, usually in large numbers, and is more of an indicator of the system's toxic overload. More poisons are being released than the body can adequately cope with at one time. In most cases, yeast die-off is a sign that the system's eliminatory pathways are overburdened or as oftentimes happens, blocked, as in constipation and liver stress.

 

When properly undertaken, treatment for yeast related health problems does not lead to yeast die-off reactions.

Strategies to minimize discomfort and shorten the duration of yeast die-off reactions

 

§    Reduce your intake of antifungal remedies temporarily. Some individuals may have to discontinue altogether for a few days.

§    More water should be consumed, we recommend 4-6 fluid ounces of warm or hot water every forty-five minutes, throughout the day.

§    It is imperative to rest when experiencing yeast die-off reactions, they will otherwise worsen in severity. Get to sleep as early as possible.

§    Measures must be taken to neutralize yeast / fungal toxins, use Molybdenum and Pantethine to accomplish this.

§    Using our Wow Drops frequently throughout the day really helps to reduce symptoms immediately.

§    If you've cut out all grains from your diet and are experiencing yeast die-off reactions, the re-introduction of a small amount (half a cereal bowl per day) of brown rice may work wonders. Be sure to chew it thoroughly, since grain cannot be properly digested unless it completely chewed up.

§    For those with access to a sauna, begin slowly (20 minutes per session) scrub all skin surfaces with a stiff brush and shower immediately afterwards.

§    Measures must be taken to encourage more frequent and complete bowel elimination for those with slow elimination!

 

§    If you're constipated, or only eliminating once daily: try some of the following ideas, you'll have to experiment with dosages until you discover what's most effective for you. Ideally you'll want to have three eliminations daily.

 

§    Use Magnesium citrate with Gentle Senna or Herbal Laxative

§    Start every morning with a tall glass of very hot water.

§    Try a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, several times daily on an empty stomach.

§    Grind a small amount of flax seeds in a coffee grinder until fine, light and fluffy, then stir a heaping tablespoon into a glass of lukewarm water, let stand for about ten minutes, stir again and drink on an empty stomach.

§    If all else fails, administer a warm, salt-water enema. If you have access to a colon hydro-therapist, a course of colonic irrigation treatments is usually a good idea. Individuals who develop rebound constipation after colonic irrigation are advised to avoid this method.
