Cleansing and Die-Off Reactions:

The majority of a Candida yeast overgrowth is within the digestive system. When you destroy a yeast cell, the toxic internal yeast fluids are released into the digestive chamber and immediately absorbed into the blood stream.

As you continue on the program, thousands upon thousands of yeast cells will begin dying every day.
This may create the “Herxheimer Die-off Reaction” – the situation where yeast poisons are created faster than the immune system or eliminative channels can remove them from the blood.

If this happens, you may feel temporary mild discomforts such as headache, fatigue, muscle aches, joint or chest pain, inflammation of the throat,
sinuses, lungs, mucus congestion, colon discomforts, acne, nausea, skin rashes, constipation, gas, dizziness, or depression, etc. These symptoms are short-lived in the majority of cases and will go away soon enough as you continue on with the program.

There may be times when a reduction in steps of the program may be in order to slow the die-off reaction and decrease the rate of toxins created. Die-off does indicate that the program is working and is a necessary byproduct of the healing process, but too much can be uncomfortable.

One of the reasons it takes so long to remove a yeast infection is that the death of one yeast cell is food for another yeast cell, which encourages those yeast colonies still living.

They are being fed and supported by the internal fluids of dead cells. Until the majority of the yeast colonies are destroyed, the die-off reactions will
never completely go away. Please do not shy away from the program or be discouraged if die-off symptoms occur.

They will disappear as soon as sufficient digestive Candida has been removed. It may take several weeks or several months depending on individual severity, but it will eventually end if you remain steadfast on the program.
