THE ULTIMATE CLEANSE

THE ULTIMATE MICROBIAL CLEANSE

Walter Last

Most diseases are caused or aided by microbes and parasites. Due to antibiotics, steroidal drugs and chemotherapy our natural intestinal bacteria have been damaged and pathogenic microbes, especially fungi and mycoplasmas, are out of control. Commonly babies now become inoculated with pathogens already in the birth canal. Also microbes from childhood vaccinations may still be present, and there tend to be infection foci in root-canal treated teeth and possibly in scars from surgery. All of these greatly weaken our immune system and allow pathogenic microbes to invade the blood and internal organs. Now we become susceptible to frequent infections, autoimmune diseases, allergies, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Pathogenic microbes are the underlying cause of basically all chronic diseases.

A common sequence of our health deterioration is as follows: antibiotics and other drugs cause intestinal overgrowth with Candida and the conversion of its harmless yeast form into an invasive hyphal variety. This, in addition to gluten and possibly casein in A1 milk, causes inflammatory damage to the intestinal wall, resulting in Leaky Gut Syndrome and letting microbial toxins and food proteins pollute the blood. This weakens the immune system and we become prone to frequent infections and allergies. Now a wide variety of bacteria, viruses and parasites start invading the body and affect the weakest organs, those impacted by nutritional deficiencies, stress, heritage or emotional issues. They may or may not cause obvious infections but in many cases form colonies protected by biofilms.

Biofilms are very difficult to eliminate by the immune system or with antimicrobial therapy. Frequent locations of bacterial biofilms are the inner walls of blood vessels, teeth and jawbone, hip joints or any infected bones, kidneys and bladder as well as surgical implants. Candida forms its own biofilm protection from chitin or heavy, sticky mucus adhering to the intestinal wall, in the sinuses or inner ears. Biofilm colonies may become dormant when under sustained attack, but then become active again when conditions improve.

Therefore it is best to adopt a multilevel approach for overcoming chronic conditions: improve the environmental conditions that caused an organ system to become susceptible to attack, use a long-term antimicrobial therapy, and strengthen the immune system to permanently dissolve the microbial colonies. When the immune system does attack a microbial colony you may experience inflammation and pain for a while like from an acute infection, for details see Managing the Immune System.

The following program is designed for long-term therapy but starting with low and gradually increasing doses. If, instead, you just want to treat an acute or serious infection then use immediately high doses of a variety of strong microbicides. In addition alkalize the body and aim for a high intake of 10 grams of sodium ascorbate or buffered vitamin C. I recommend alkalizing as well as vitamin C and MSM therapy for all serious conditions, see Increase Your Energy.

The ultimate cleanse needs to go hand in hand with efforts to re-establish a healthy intestinal flora. For this we reduce the pathogenic intestinal microbes with a suitable microbicide while also introducing probiotics or beneficial microbes and prebiotics – the right food for the good microbes. For details see Intestinal Sanitation.

SYSTEMIC ANTIMICROBIAL THERAPY

After a good start with Intestinal Sanitation you are ready for Systemic Antimicrobial Therapy with the goal of cleaning the bloodstream, lymph fluid, and internal organs of pathogenic microbes and parasites. From the wide range of available antimicrobials I have made a selection of remedies with a good track record in natural medicine, especially in regard to antifungal properties. Unfortunately most of them are under attack by health authorities in various countries, and you just need to go with those that you can obtain.

Useful remedies include borax, MMS, kerosene, gum turpentine, hydrogen peroxide, colloidal silver, electronic blood purifier, and many plant or herbal remedies such as olive leaf extract, pau d’arco extract, wormwood, garlic, ginger, moringa, turmeric, propolis, coconut oil, extract of Neem leaves, and the oils of tea tree, Neem tree, cinnamon, eucalyptus, mustard, oregano, and thyme. Lavender oil is especially effective with topical applications for fungus problems of skin and nails. You may try using 1 to 2 drops of diluted essential oil four times daily ingested or kept in the mouth. Also try direct treatment of affected areas, such as douching, gargling, enemas and skin applications.

Frequently, especially with Candidiasis, there is initially a die-off or Herxheimer reaction. You may feel weak and nauseous. In this case temporarily interrupt or reduce the intake of antimicrobials, but make special efforts to clean out your bowels. Especially helpful are psyllium or drinking a litre of water with the addition of a teaspoon of salt as described in Intestinal Sanitation.

It can be helpful to alternate between different remedies in cycles from daily to weekly and longer. With this rotation it is less likely that microbes will become treatment resistant. Also, if a strain of microbes is resistant to one of the remedies it may be eliminated with one of the others. Further, instead of using high doses of any one remedy you may try moderate amounts of several different remedies taken at different times at the same day, and you may also take fresh raw garlic and ginger added to food.

Depending on the severity of your symptoms you may continue this systemic therapy at a high level for several months, or until you feel that your microbe-related problems are under control. Then continue for a much longer time with a reduced maintenance dose; in case of a chronic disease this may be necessary for years. If symptoms flare up again, possibly caused by stressful conditions, hospitalization or unsuitable diet, just repeat the high-dose systemic program.

High doses of these remedies are not suitable during pregnancy, but neither is it good if the mother has candidiasis as this causes great problems for the baby. In this case consult a health professional. For an Internet source of some of the recommended remedies see www.strideintohealth.com.

In the following dosage suggestions are for average body weight; overweight individuals may take more and underweight individuals or children less. Even if systemic infestations with Candida and other microbes are successfully eliminated there may still remain problems in isolated areas, such as in skin, vagina or under toenails. These should be intensively treated with local application of a strong remedy.

Borax

Borax and boric acid contain boron and are excellent fungicides with additional wide-ranging antimicrobial properties, and also chelating fluoride and heavy metals. Ingested borax tends to turn into boric acid in the stomach.

To measure the daily amount you may dissolve a lightly rounded teaspoonful (5 grams) of borax powder in 1 litre of water (no chlorine or fluoride). This is your concentrated solution. Keep this bottle out of reach of small children.

One teaspoon (5ml) of concentrate provides about 25mg of borax with 3mg of boron. Start with one dose mixed with drink or food. Gradually increase to the chosen maximum intake. The minimum effective dose when used as fungicide is about 100mg of borax.

For individuals with low to normal weight the recommended daily amount for Candida and parasite treatment is 500mg or 100ml of the concentrated solution; drink spaced out during the day. Heavier individuals may use 1 gram or 200ml of concentrated solution. Take this amount for about 1 month and then alternate with another microbicide. Continue taking a maintenance amount of 2 or 3 tsp of the concentrate daily. When using high amounts it may be more convenient to use borax powder directly mixed with food or drink, e.g. 1/8 tsp of borax powder is approximately 500mg, so for 1 gram you may use 2 x 1/8 tsp. However, higher doses have been used for longer, e.g. 2 grams of borax powder daily for 4 month to cure the autoimmune disease Lupus.

For vaginal thrush insert a capsule filled with borax powder at bedtime for a few weeks. With toe or skin fungus rub the powder into the wet skin. When losing too much hair rub it into the wet scalp. Borax is alkaline and in higher amounts has a soapy taste. You may disguise this with lemon juice, also see The Borax Conspiracy.

Coconut Oil

The medium-chain saturated fatty acids in virgin coconut oil are potent antimicrobial agents, effective against Candida and other fungi, viruses and many bacteria. Gradually increase up to 70 ml or 5 tablespoons of coconut oil spread out during the day mixed with food. Later reduce this to a comfortable maintenance dose. I prefer coconut oil to monolaurin, an isolated active component in coconut oil, or undecylenic acid, a related fungicide.

DMSO

DMSO is not only a microbicide in its own right, it is also highly effective in carrying other microbicides into inaccessible places and penetrate biofilms in which microbes are hiding. It is especially effective against mycoplasmas. Rub it onto the skin over infected areas. You may also add Lugol’s solution, non-acidified MMS, hydrogen peroxide, magnesium chloride and other water-soluble remedies, but not kerosene, gum turpentine, essential oils or oil-soluble remedies. For rubbing onto the skin over infected areas dilute DMSO to 50-70%. It is an effective pain reliever and also eliminates microbes from skin, joints, sinuses, inner ear, bones, infected roots of teeth, jawbones, cavitations, and may stop fungus-induced hair loss.

The minimum purity of DMSO should be 99% and preferably higher. A suitable combined oral and topical daily amount with chronic diseases may be 20 to 30ml in divided doses. Orally it may be taken in a drink together with specific supplements to enhance their absorption. However, certain microbe may cause a bad sulphur smell, more so with oral than topical use. While DMSO is widely used in most countries as a medical drug, in the USA it is only approved for the treatment of interstitial cystitis. In Australia it is a prescription poison not to be used for treating humans but it can be sold for veterinary purposes and as a solvent. For details see MSM & DMSO.

Herbal Remedies

In addition to the following also use raw garlic and ginger.

Moringa Oleifera has many health benefits. It is a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory remedy. In addition it is a strong fungicide and works well against Candida albicans and other pathogens, even when these are protected by biofilms. Moringa leaf powder is recommended for its nutrients, try 1 rounded teaspoonful per day. Good quality leaf powder has a green or grey-green colour; inferior products dried at higher temperatures may be dark brown, yellow-brown or grey. Powder of seeds, seed shells, seed pods and bark has much stronger antimicrobial effects than leaf powder, therefore you may use both.

Olive leaf can be used as tea or powder but more commonly as an extract. The active ingredient is oleuropein. Preferably use up to 1000mg of oleuropein daily for acute infections or as peak level during the systemic program. Dried olive leaf has about 30mg of oleuropein/gram.

As the tea is bitter you may use part of it as powder stirred in juice. Simmer 30 grams of dried leaves in 1 liter of water for 1 -2 hours, top up, strain and refrigerate, and drink 3-5 cups daily.

Preferably use extracts in powder form and stir half a teaspoon in water or other non-protein liquid two or three times daily and take before meals (oleuropein may be inactivated by high amino acid levels). The normal retail form is as 500mg capsules. In this case you may use up to 10 capsules daily. In powder form olive leaf extract commonly has 200mg mg/g. Most commercial liquids contain only 4mg of oleuropein per ml but may have additional effective ingredients to give good results.

Elenolic acid, one of the breakdown products of oleuropein, destroys or inhibits the growth of many kinds of roundworm, hookworm, tapeworm, flatworm and parasites in addition to bacteria, viruses and fungi. Olive leaf extract is also used with cancer, HIV and AIDS. Olive leaf extract is my preferred herbal microbicide.

Pau d’arco (also called taheebo or lapacho) is a strong anti-microbial from the inner bark of a South American tree. It has the advantage of tasting reasonably pleasant. Either use extract or make tea: one tablespoon of bark or a heaped teaspoon of powder in a large cup of water. Bring to boil and let simmer or steep for 5 to 15 minutes; drink 3 cups a day. Powdered pau d’arco in capsules or cold water does not work but you may use the extract in capsules. Use 3 x 500mg in capsules or half a teaspoon of extract powder 2 or 3 times daily. Commercial products are not standardised and can be low in quality and effectiveness. Therefore I recommend pau d’arco only as an addition to a stronger remedy.

Turmeric (main active ingredient curcumin) is anti-inflammatory, a strong antioxidant, kills all types of cancer cells, and is an excellent fungicide and general antimicrobial. Take 10 grams or more of fresh turmeric a day with meals. For better absorption mix turmeric paste with freshly ground black pepper and coconut oil, see the Internet for recipes. This is preferable to taking capsules of curcumin.

Wormwood is effective against most microbes and parasites. Commonly used for Candida is Artemisia absinthium, but also Artemisia annua or Sweet Annie can be used. Both herbs have different active ingredients, and it may even be good to use a mixture of both. They should not be used during pregnancy.

To avoid the bitter taste of A. absinthium stir a rounded teaspoon of powder in some cold water or juice and drink immediately. Use a teaspoonful three times daily. However, the bitter qualities of wormwood tea stimulate the digestive system – stomach, pancreas, liver and gall bladder. It has been used as a folk remedy to cure jaundice.

Therefore, in addition to taking it in cold water, frequently drink some as tea during or after a meal. Make wormwood tea by adding 1 heaped tsp of the herb (or 1 rounded teaspoon of the powder) to 1 cup of boiling water and steep for ten to fifteen minutes. You may sweeten the tea with xylitol or stevia, and add some peppermint.

Generally, it is easiest to take by getting it down quickly and, before breathing again, drinking something pleasant afterwards. For children you may also use wormwood powder in capsules (3 to 5 capsules 3 times daily), or use only Sweet Annie.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is excellent for controlling intestinal dysbiosis. It is very effective against Candida and other fungi while less damaging to our good intestinal bacteria. A healthy immune system routinely produces hydrogen peroxide to kill pathogens.

You may dilute 35% hydrogen peroxide, or buy 3% or 6% peroxide from a supermarket or pharmacy. Stabilizers present in some of these products are usually harmless in the low concentrations present, although food-grade available at 35% is preferable. Best dilute peroxide for daily use to about 3% by adding 1 part of 35% peroxide to 10 parts of water. One teaspoon of 3% peroxide is equivalent to about 12 drops of 35% peroxide. Be careful handling 35% hydrogen peroxide, flush any accidental spills on clothes or skin immediately with water or immerse in water.

Start taking just a few drops of 3% peroxide in a small glass of water. Gradually increase to 1 or 2 tsp or more four times daily before meals and at bedtime. If you have a reaction temporarily decrease again. To disguise the strong aftertaste, lick some molasses beforehand to coat your tongue, swallow quickly and possibly have some coffee or cinnamon flavoured drink afterwards.

You may continue this for a month or two and then reduce the intake to only once before breakfast. In addition, use hydrogen peroxide to rinse your mouth, and gargle morning and evening. It helps with thrush and to prevent colds and other infections, and also tooth decay. With vaginal thrush douche twice daily with suitably diluted hydrogen peroxide, keep it inside for some time, and follow up by applying some probiotic.

Iodine Therapy

Iodine is an excellent fungicide and has a special affinity for mucous membranes which are also an attractive hiding place for fungi. I preferred to start the systemic therapy with Lugol’s solution. However, due to pressure from health authorities it is now difficult to obtain, but there can also be genuine problems for individuals with goitre, overactive thyroid, and when on thyroid and heart medication. Therefore I now recommend Lugol’s only temporarily up to about 6 drops/day for specific problems or for a maintenance dose of about 1-2 drops daily.

Full-strength Lugol’s solution, called a 5% iodine solution, contains 10% of potassium iodide and 5% iodine. Each drop contains 6.5mg of iodine/iodide. If you have a 2% iodine solution then take 2.5 times more drops than for the standard 5% solution. Iodoral tablets available in the US have 13mg iodine/iodide per tablet. Iosol, an iodine/ammonium iodide remedy has 1.8mg of iodine/iodide per drop. Other names for Lugol’s solution are Aqueous Iodine Oral Solution BP or Strong Iodine Solution USP. Iodine Topical Solution (USP) contains 2% iodine and 2.4% potassium iodide. The following recommendations are for the standard 5% Lugol’s solution, if you use another remedy then adjust the dose accordingly.

Presently iodine solutions with more than 2.2% elemental iodine are banned in the US as they may be used to produce illegal methamphetamine, although up to 30ml of Lugol’s solution are exempt. Standard Lugol’s solution is still available in Canada and Mexico. The TGA in Australia has banned Lugol’s solution for treating humans but it may be used for purifying water. I do not recommend pharmaceutical iodine dissolved in alcohol.

Before starting on iodine therapy take a drop of iodine in liquid other than just water to test for reactions, but if you do have thyroid problems or are on stimulating drugs start with ¼ to ½ drop. Then increase gradually up to your preferred dose. Goitre and overactive thyroid tend to normalise with several drops of Lugol’s but iodine levels need to be carefully adjusted according to body reactions. A good way of taking it is in coffee (not hot) to disguise the taste, alternatively use any tea but not just water, fresh juices, or anything with antioxidants.

Several drops of Lugol’s in coffee or tea are good for eliminating microbes in head spaces and throat by swishing it around the mouth for several minutes and also gargling before swallowing. It can be used for disinfecting tick bites or wounds. Iodine also makes sticky mucus more liquid and easier to expel. Iodine, orally and through the skin, helps to prevent and dissolve cysts and tumours, and helps to regenerates tissue. For more information see Iodine: Bring Back the Universal Nutrient Medicine.

Kerosene and Gum Turpentine

Kerosene is surprisingly effective against Candida and mycoplasmas or cell-wall deficient microbes while not harming our good gut bacteria. Normal kerosene boils between 145 and 300°C, but the antimicrobial effect is strongest between 100 and 200°C. The lighter fractions are mainly absorbed in the stomach and intestines, thereby cleaning the blood while those boiling above 200°C move through the intestinal tract with a laxative effect.

A suitable variety of purified kerosene in Australia is Diggers Low Odour Kerosene available from hardware stores. Also Diggers White Spirits and Diggers Mineral Turpentine are available as low-odour products with the same chemical composition as Diggers Low Odour Kerosene. The boiling range is from 149 to 194°C. Odourless kerosene has a boiling range of 190 to 230°C and is too high for purifying the blood but it can help to clean the intestinal tract.

Apart from an acceptable boiling range good kerosene should also be low in aromatics, this is what ‘low odour’ means. To see if products from other companies or in other countries are suitable go to the website of the manufacturer and look up their Material Safety Data Sheet or MSDS. It may not be sold as kerosene but rather as naphtha petroleum, hydrocarbon solvent, white spirits or mineral turpentine. Look for petrochemical based aliphatic hydrocarbons, and not half-synthetic isoparaffins or special solvent mixtures available from art supplies as aromatics-free mineral turpentine.

Shell Chemicals has 2 suitable products free of aromatics: ShellSol D40, with a boiling range of 145 – 210°C, and the lower boiling SBP 100/140. BP White Spirits, low in aromatics, boils from 142 to 200°C. These products may be available in stores for building materials and paint supplies, larger hardware stores, or from the Internet. A suitable low-odour product in the US is Klean-Strip 1 Kerosene, seewww.wmbarr.com/product.aspx?catid=35&prodid=71; you can get it at Wal-Mart and various hardware stores. In Europe you can get Shell-Sol D40, SBP (Siedegrenzbenzin) 100/140 and Gum Turpentine (Balsam Terpentinoel, see “Baumarkt”). If a low-aromatic product is not available then even normal kerosene/petroleum may be used. It is not more toxic but only has a stronger odour. The toxic benzene boils at 80°C and is not present in fractions boiling over 100°C. Sales of kerosene products are less restricted in the UK than in many other EU countries. Kerosene is usually called paraffin in the UK, Southeast Asia, East Africa and South Africa. Paraffin oil is more viscous with a high boiling point.

Dosage and duration of a course are rather flexible. One may start with a few drops or half a teaspoon, then continue with one teaspoon for a week or two and gradually increase up to one tablespoon for a week or two until ending again with one teaspoonful for a total duration of about 6 weeks. The higher doses tend to cause diarrhoea and liver detoxification. While this is basically beneficial, it can cause unpleasant symptoms, in this case reduce or temporarily stop the intake. This may be repeated as needed or one teaspoonful may be used periodically.

It is best taken before breakfast or at bedtime, possibly with a small amount of molasses: lick some molasses to coat your tongue, then take a spoonful of kerosene and wash it down with a small amount of drink or food. For children several drops on sugar have been used. For further information see Kerosene – A Universal Healer.

Gum Turpentine is a highly effective antimicrobial and was a trusted home remedy for thousands of years. It may be used instead of kerosene in countries (e.g. EU) where suitable kerosene is hard to get. It has been used as a tsp of turpentine mixed with a tsp of white sugar; start with only a few drops and increase gradually. It may be used daily for a week or two and then twice a week for several weeks longer. It is especially effective for intestinal parasites. I was surprised how pleasant it tasted, like a pine-flavoured lolly. However, it causes stronger reactions than kerosene. In high amounts or when keeping it for a while in the mouth it can cause temporary balance problems or brain effects, therefore do not use more than 1 tsp as adult dose. Drink something afterwards to wash it down or eat a piece of fruit.

Instead with sugar it is better to take it mixed with an equal amount of paraffin oil or olive oil. I also like to use a combination of 2 parts each of kerosene and paraffin oil or olive oil with 1 part of gum turpentine, taking 1 or 2 tsp of this mixture as a dose. If you do not want to treat the intestinal tract but rather a localized infection such as in the bladder, the throat, sinuses or an arthritic joint, then you may frequently rub some gum turpentine on the affected area. For problems with the inner ear rub or dab it with a finger around the base of the ear where it is attached to the head.

MMS – Sodium Chlorite

Sodium chlorite (NaClO2) also known as Miracle Mineral Supplement or MMS, is very alkaline and stable in solution but when acidified it forms the unstable chlorous acid and the gas chlorine dioxide (ClO2) which are strong all-round antimicrobial and parasite remedies. MMS may be used for an initial clean-out, and is very effective in high doses with acute and serious infections.

Start with 1 or 2 drops of MMS and gradually increase up to 15 drops daily. Mix the MMS with five times the number of drops of lemon or lime juice or vinegar (may be white). More commonly a 10% solution of citric acid in water has been used but this tends to produce a more unpleasant and possibly nauseating taste. Three minutes after adding the acids add half a glass of water, or possibly herb tea, or juice without added vitamin C, e.g. apple or grape juice but not orange juice. Do not take any antioxidant supplements close to MMS; generally keep them 3 hours apart.

You may also mix equal numbers of drops of MMS and 4% hydrochloric acid (HCl) and dilute with water or juice 20-30 seconds after mixing. This produces a much higher concentration of chlorine dioxide but seems to be better tolerated than using citric acid crystals.

With an acute and serious infection you may immediately use a high dose, such as 10 or 15 drops. You will probably vomit and be very uncomfortable for about a day but it may immediately overcome the infection. However, for chronic conditions and general health improvement it is best to increase by 1 drop each day until you feel some nausea. It is better tolerated with some food in the stomach.

Then cut back by 2 drops and stay at this level for several days until increasing again by 1 drop a day. In this way you gradually work your way higher, reducing and then increasing again to keep nausea under control. You may reduce problems by dividing the daily dose into a morning and a bedtime portion.

To quickly stop nausea you may take 1 gram or more of vitamin C, but this also stops the antimicrobial activity. To avoid or minimize oxidative damage I recommend taking MMS only in the morning and evening or only once a day and use a combination of antioxidants, including vitamin C, at lunchtime or several hours away from the MMS. To minimize unpleasant side effects try to alkalize the body before going on a course of MMS.

The main danger after a high dose of MMS is from low blood pressure and hypoglycemic shock due to fluid loss after vomiting and diarrhoea. In this case take immediately a high dose of vitamin C to stop the reaction, lie down, and drink lots of lightly salted and sweetened water. For rehydrating after vomiting and diarrhoea drink a fluid with 6 level tsp of sugar and 1/2 level tsp of salt dissolved in 1 liter of water, or alternatively use salted rice water. Individuals with G6PD deficiency, an enzyme deficiency with a tendency to haemolytic anaemia, must avoid MMS.

See http://mmswiki.is/index.php/Main_Page for details of MMS procedures and protocols.

Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) is now available over the Internet as a concentrated solution of the gas in water. It is easier to take than acidified MMS and does not seem to cause nausea. As it is strongly oxidizing use it mainly short-term for acute infections. See the Internet for detailed instruction.

CDH – A New MMS Protocol: CDH means Chlorine Dioxide Holding Solution, and stands between classic MMS and CDS. It is less nauseating than MMS, causes less stomach upset, once made it does not need activation and itlasts for weeks

For making CDH use a ratio of 22 parts of water with 1 part MMS and 1 part activator. To make 240ml of CDH put the ingredients In the following order into a 250 to 300ml glass bottle with a well sealing plastic cap:

220ml purified water,10ml MMS, 10ml of 4% HCl or 50% Citric Acid (it tastes better with hydrochloric acid than with citric acid). Immediately cap the bottle tightly so that no ClO2 gas escapes. Shake the bottle and repeat shaking later. Put the bottle in a dark place at room temperature for a day and then keep it refrigerated; once cooled it can be used and lasts for weeks.

Each ml of CDH contains 1 pre-activated drop of MMS; so just dose as usual, but instead of counting drops count mls of CDH. E.g. instead of adding 5 drops of activated MMS to half a cup of water you now put 5ml of CDH in half a cup of water. To make 4% HCl add 1 part of concentrated HCl (e.g. from a hardware store) to 8 parts of water. To avoid clashing with a frequent vitamin C or lemon juice intake have one dose after rising and another one at bedtime.

Protocol 1000 with CDH: Use 1 litre of water per day loaded with 8 to 24ml of CDH. Take one 120ml drink every hour for 8 hours.With severe life threatening illnesses, increase the amount of CDH.

The rectal absorption method is good with problems in this area, such as rectal or prostate cancer, irritable bowel, and infections, cysts and cancers of the female organs. First have a bowel movement and an enema, and then try 2 activated drops in 250ml of water. Hold for several minutes, then expel, clean again with an enema and finally insert 4 to 8 activated drops or 4 to 8ml of CDH in 250ml water and hold for a longer time or up to 30 minutes. You may also add some bicarbonate to make it less acid. Protect the anus with some fat or Vaseline. There tends to be no direct discomfort, but for several hours afterwards energy may be low, and several cleanout bowel movements may follow. You may try this once a week with gradually increasing doses.

Non-Acidified MMS: Medical-type patents describe the use of stabilised sodium chlorite in oral, topical and intravenous applications for treating autoimmune diseases and chronic infections, also hepatitis and lymphoma. This also helps to counteract the neurotoxic effect of acetaldehyde produced by Candida as it oxidizes this to acetic acid or vinegar. This is also suitable for kidney and bladder infections. In these cases the solution is not acidified! This is much less damaging to antioxidants in the body than prolonged use of acidified MMS, and the incidence of nausea will be greatly reduced.

As an average dose try 5 to 10 drops of MMS once a day after the evening meal or at bedtime in a drink. However, non-acidified sodium chlorite just like acidified MMS, does react with glutathione in body cells. Therefore use it only for limited periods, e.g. for one week every other week, and limit this program to 6 to 10 weeks (3 to 5 cycles) before a longer break of one or more months. Alternatively use it 5 days a week for 3 to 5 weeks. During breaks use other antimicrobials instead. An occasional high dose of 20 drops can destroy the bio-film protection of Candida in the intestinal tract and cause large amounts of stringy slime to be expelled through vomiting and diarrhoea.

Other Methods

Alkalizing: Candida tends to cause chronic overacidity which in turn increases inflammation and pain. This can be controlled with alkalizers such as potassium citrate, sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate. Use half to one tsp of bicarbonate in a glass of water on an empty stomach once or twice daily. Bicarbonate solution is also effective in direct contact with fungi such as for rinsing the mouth, sinuses or vagina, or as packs over sites of fungal infection and tumours. Potassium citrate may be used in drinks or directly mixed with food, use up to a level tsp 3 times daily. For details see Alkalizing.

Electro-Medicine: A wide range of electromagnetic therapies are available and may be used in addition to biochemical and homoeopathic methods. For examples see Electronic Zapper & Magnetic Pulser, and www.spooky2.com for a cheap and apparently very effective Rife machine. Also Radionics may help but depends very much on the abilities of the practitioner.

Other Remedies

Homoeopathy can be effective against specific infectious microbes, see a homoeopath or search the Internet. Lufenuron inhibits synthesis of chitin and may be useful as an additional anti-candida remedy.
