Dr. Vibhuti Rana, PhD says... the information mentioned below about stool tests, effective yeast cleansing agents and their use regarding this natural yeast infection cure is correct.
This yeast infection cure protocol for chronic and
systemic yeast is going to be different from what you may have seen
elsewhere on the Internet, because it suggests actually using a Real Medical Test to determine your best course of action.
If done correctly, it will work for everyone and correct out of control yeast levels, resolve bad bacteria problems, remove mercury and other metals, and restore your intestinal immune function to normal. It may also balance the out of control hormone levels because you are getting rid of the mercury, which disrupts hormone function.
Make sure you go through the Commonly Asked Question section below as well.
Because yeasts primarily use simple carbs and sugars as their sole carbon source for growth, make sure you follow the Candida diet found on this website while you do this.
If you are suffering from high stress levels you need to get it under control. Stress can reduce immune function by 50% and when fighting something as tough as yeast, you need your immune system working at its best. You can learn more about the effects of stress on the body and how to deal with it here.
Step 1 of the Yeast Infection Cure Protocol
The first thing you need to do is address any possible mercury issues because studies show people with high mercury levels are 67% more likely to have chronic yeast infections. Candida yeast absorbs its own weight in mercury and by doing so it binds it so it cannot enter the blood stream to poison you. As a result, the more mercury you have, the more yeast you are going to have.
The best thing to do is go to the Mercury Pages on this website and educate yourself on this issue. Or if you prefer, you can go directly to treatment for mercury poisoning page here. Even better is to do this test so you know if it is an issue or not.
Do not overlook this critically important step of the yeast infection cure protocol. 80 to 85% of those people that suffer from chronic yeast infections have too much mercury in their bodies. If you don't get rid of that mercury, then the yeast will keep reproducing in defense of your body, and you will continue to have yeast overgrowth problems no matter what you do.
If you tested yourself for mercury and it was not a problem and you don't have to do the heavy metal cleanse, you should still prepare the body for the candida cleanse by doing 30 days of the Ultimate Colon Cleanse.
This cleanse removes any old compacted wastes in your intestines; kills any parasites; helps remove the biofilm yeast makes to protect itself; and helps you to stay regular during the initial yeast die-off. Start the cleanse and stay on it for two weeks, then start the anti-fungal protocol below while finishing the rest of the cleanse.
Does the Ultimate Cleanse really work? Read this and you decide.
Step 2 of the Yeast Infection Cure Protocol
The first step in the process is to get your stool tested. Doctors Data has the most affordable test called a Comprehensive Stool Analysis,
that checks for parasites, yeasts, good and bad bacteria, and other
factors related to digestion that uses three samples so it is very
accurate. They also run susceptibility profiles on detected pathogens to
see what kills them.
Here is a sample Doctors Data test and I will explain how to read it.
On
page 1 of the test, left side shaded in green are the overall levels
and species of good bacteria. +1 is the lowest and +4 is the highest. NG
next to Bifidobacterium spp means No Growth, so this person does not
have any Bifidobacteria. CP-1 or the 11-strain probiotic are recommended to help with the no growth of Bifidobacteria.
In the center section shaded in yellow are Imbalanced Flora.
Alpha hemolytic strep does not cause problems for most people.
Beta strep, not group A or B, can be a concern if you are pregnant and close to giving birth. Your doctor can address this.
Hemolytic
Escherichia coli can cause problems for anyone and reproduces three
times as fast as most species of beneficial bacteria. In doing so it
crowds out beneficial bacteria and does not allow them to attach to the
intestinal wall because the E. coli is taking up that space. We want to
get rid of this if at all possible or at least knock the levels down. Floraphage
is highly recommended for this, it eats E. coli and creates a cascading
effect that raises beneficial bacteria levels up to 2400%.
Scrolling
down a little you see the Yeast Culture section. Rhodotorula
mucilaginosa yeast has been detected at a +1 level. Not to bad but
undetectable is best.
Further down the report, we see that no
parasites were detected. If they had been detected then it would be strongly suggested that you do this Parasite cleanse first, which also helps with yeast issues. There is more information on parasite infestations here.
Elastase is slightly low but close to normal so
for now this is not a concern. Secretory IgA* is at 19.6 and should be
within 51 to 204. This person has a deficiency and should supplement
with colostrum.
Moving
down everything looks good and then we come to the Yeast
Susceptibilities section. Here they have tested to see what kills the
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa.
On the left side of the shaded area it
says low sensitivity, meaning the compounds tested don't work as well.
To the right in the green section it says high sensitivity, meaning
these compounds work well against this yeast.
So the best
compounds are grapefruit seed extract, undecylenic acid and caprylic
acid. Uva ursi in yellow has some effect and so does berberine. The
plant tannins and oregano are not very effective.
Nystatin, works well and if you add this you will have to see a doctor for a prescription.
Dr. Atmika Paudel, PhD says...
The stool test is actually a diagnostic tool that will let us know if yeasts and harmful bacteria are present in the stool so that the treatment can be appropriate depending upon the test results. The tests for three samples from three different days let us overcome the misdiagnosis. As intermittent shedding can occur, the three days samples will let us also understand the microbiota of our gut in more detail and correct manner than a single sample test. Here is a case report which used the three-day stool test diagnosis tool to identify bad bacteria and yeast in a stool sample of a patient who did not have gastrointestinal symptoms that indicated a stool test (1). But the stool test revealed the presence of harmful bacteria and yeast, and following treatment relieved the patient from the ailment (1).

Note: The stool test would allow you to put together a yeast infection treatment system that would be the most effective for you and the particular strain of yeast you are infected with.
However, I realize that most people are not going to do the stool test so read on.
Step 3, Putting the Yeast Infection Cure Protocol Together
Over the years we have accumulated a very large sample of stool tests from people from all walks of life. The yeast species identified in these tests are; Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, Candida kruseii, Candida lambica, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Rhodotorula, Geotrichum, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae/boulardii.
The lab ran susceptibility profiles on these yeasts and the most effective agents are:
Recommended Products
Biofase is used to get through the biofilm yeast builds around itself as a means of protection and eats the cell wall. This also allows the herbs to be much more effective.
Profase is a probiotic composed of the best yeast killers and immune system stimulators that I could find.
Microfase is a carefully selected blend of herbs that have proven anti-fungal abilities.
Biofase, Profase and Microfase come in a discounted kit at this website or you can get it on Amazon here.
Or, you can get all of the herbs below to be used like I suggest in the charts below separately. You will still need Biofase and Profase.
Uva Ursi
Berberine
Coconut oil is recommended for everyone because it works so well in exploding the yeast cell. This also satisfies the caprylic acid requirement.
Dr. Atmika Paudel, PhD says...
The ingredients mentioned in the
article are known components that act against yeast including their
biofilms. The antimicrobial activity of Uva ursi has been reported in
literatures, one among which is a paper published in Acta Pol Pharm
in 2004 (1).
Tannins are known to make the yeast adhere less so that it cannot
form biofilms and is easily flushed out of the system (2).
Grapefruit seed extract can again inhibit the biofilm development by
yeast (3).
Berberine, on the other hand, can act both on the planktonic and
biofilm yeast cells (4).
Capric acid and caprylic acid render yeast less virulent thereby
making it easier for the immune system to expel out of the body (5).
And undecylenic acid is proven to act against Candida (6).

If you decided on the Biofase, Profase, Microfase kit?
Take 1 to 3 capsules of Biofase at least one hour before breakfast and at bedtime with 1 or 2 capsules of Profase.
Note: I would probably start at 1 and 1 to minimize die-off. As I was able I would work up to 3 Biofase with 2 Profase.
Take 2 capsules of Microfase 30 minutes before breakfast and 30 minutes before dinner.
You can get more aggressive by adding Uva ursi and take it as suggested on the label for a week then
stop for a week. After a weeks rest you can repeat the cycle.
That's it, pretty simple.
If using all the herbs, follow the directions in the charts below.
1st Week
Biofase | Take 1 capsule 1 hour before breakfast and 1 capsule 30 minutes before bedtime. |
Profase | Take 1 capsule Profase with Biofase twice a day. | Coconut Oil | Take 1 tsp or 2 capsules with breakfast and dinner. | .
DysbioX | Follow the directions on the label. |
Grapefruit Seed Extract | Take 1 capsule 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner. |
Berberine | Take 1 capsule 30 minutes before lunch. | .
Uva Ursi | Follow the directions on the label. |
Biofase | Take 2 capsules 1 hour before breakfast and 2 capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. |
Profase | Take 2 capsules Profase with Biofase twice a day. | Coconut Oil | Take 1 tsp or 2 capsules with breakfast and dinner. | .
DysbioX | Follow the directions on the label. |
Grapefruit Seed Extract | Take 2 capsules 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner. |
Berberine | Take 2 capsules 30 minutes before lunch. | .
Uva Ursi | Do not take the second week. |
3rd Week
Biofase | Take 3 capsules 1 hour before breakfast and 3 capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. |
Profase | Take 2 capsules Profase with Biofase twice a day. |
Coconut Oil | Take 1 tbls or 4 capsules with breakfast and dinner. | .
DysbioX | Follow the directions on the label. |
Grapefruit Seed Extract | Take 1 capsule 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner. |
Berberine | Take 1 capsule 30 minutes before lunch. | .
Uva Ursi | Follow the directions on the label. |
4th Week
Biofase | Take 3 capsules 1 hour before breakfast and 3 capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. |
Profase | Take 2 capsules Profase with Biofase twice a day. |
Coconut Oil | Take 1 tbls or 4 capsules with breakfast and dinner. | .
DysbioX | Follow the directions on the label. |
Grapefruit Seed Extract | Take 2 capsules 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner. |
Berberine | Take 2 capsules 30 minutes before lunch. | .
Uva Ursi | Do not take this week. |
After the completion of the fourth week you can stay at those doses or
increase them, and add Uva Ursi back in for the fifth week. Sixth week
do not take Uva Ursi. Keep rotating like this until the yeast is under
control.
Note: I have had people increase Biofase doses up to 6
twice a day with very good results. People have also doubled Profase as well. Raising the doses like this is entirely up to
you and how aggressive you want to get. The higher the dose, the more
aggressive the plan and the faster it is going to work.
If using Microfase and not all the individual herbs, take 2 capsules 30 minutes after Biofase and Profase. Take 2 more capsules 30 minutes before dinner or at bedtime.
You can also ramp up the doses faster than the weekly timeline suggested if you so choose. I have suggested it this way to minimize die-off reactions but if you aren't having any reactions, there isn't any reason not to get to the high doses ASAP.
You
could also feel great at this point, just depends upon the person and
how bad the infection was to start with. A +4 yeast level does typically
take longer to resolve than a +1. But if you're feeling great, I would
stay at the fourth week doses for another month, two months is better,
just to be safe. Yeasts have a nasty habit of coming back if you
stop to soon.
This cleanse addresses all the problems that can be associated with Candida yeast infections and any possible bad bacteria overgrowth.
Biofase breaks down the biofilm that yeast, bad bacteria, and viruses build over themselves as a means of protection. It also eats the cell wall of the yeast, killing the entire yeast cell.
The breakdown of the biofilm allows the herbs to more easily kill the yeast. Uva Ursi, the plant tannins, berberine and grapefruit seed extract provide further yeast cleaning.
The probiotics in Profase balance the pH levels in the intestine as they produce lactic acid. They also produce hydrogen peroxides that have antibiotic properties to pathogens. They stimulate the macrophages and phagocytes of the immune system into action, which also helps to remove these pathogens, and helps restore normal intestinal flora and balance to the body. Profase also contains good bacteria that directly kill yeast.
Floraphage feeds your own good bacteria and those found in Profase further boosting their numbers, which provide long term protection from re-infection.
This is really simple and very effective when you have the right products and the will to carry it out.
Then...if you really want to get everything in tip top shape? Do the yeast infection liver cleanse.
Yeast infections can be accounted to dysbiosis, where the hazardous bacteria in the gut overpower the gut-friendly beneficial microbes. They get worsened by improper diet, excessive sugar intake in the form of carbs and grains, and stress to the mind and body. (1, 2) Therefore, it becomes very important to tackle the bad bacterial and yeast overgrowth in the host. The stool test mentioned above is an excellent way of determining the microflora composition of your gut, so that you can work upon restoring the misbalance. It will help you distinguish your good bacteria like Bifidobacteria from bad bacteria like Clostridium, Klebsiella etc., the major cause of inflammatory bowel disease (3)
Use of probiotics during a yeast infection is the wisest decision. I personally feel gratitude towards Dan who is helping so many people decide the combination of probiotics and herbal remedies that may help best to remove all toxins from the body. Moreover, the diet plan recommended during the yeast cleansing and mercury poisoning for undoing the ill effects of dysbiosis are required for a wholesome positive change in your health.

Why do you suggest doing this stool test when no one else does?
Unless you have chronic vaginal yeast infections or have been diagnosed with yeast by a doctor through testing, there is no way to know what the problem is.
Sure you can look at symptoms and answer questionnaires and suspect yeast, but they are not 100% accurate. In these cases a person typically tries all kinds of products, diets and supposed treatment systems, spends a small fortune and the problem is still there. So why not do the tests and get it right the first time?
Also, half the stool tests I see show no yeast but an over growth of bad bacteria and I suspect that half of those people have SIBO, or small intestine bacteria overgrowth. People with SIBO should generally not take a probiotic until after the bad bacteria are treated.
What if my stool test shows no yeast but bad bacteria, what should I do?
You can still do the protocol above or do the Bacteria protocol on this webpage.
Does this protocol work for small intestine bacterial overgrowth, SIBO?
Yes it does. Many of the herbs are medically proven to kill bad bacteria and when combined with the biofilm busting effects of Biofase, the protocol is very effective. I would not however take Profase or any other probiotic if you have SIBO until after you have treated yourself.
What if my stool test shows yeast and bad bacteria, what should I do?
I would do the same protocol as above, with a few adjustments.
Looking at the sample test most of the Beneficial Flora are at high levels, +4 is the highest reading, except for bifidobacteriums. If the Imbalanced Flora was also at +3 to +4, it is highly likely this person has small intestine bacteria over growth or sibo, especially if more species of bacteria are detected. This could be verified by doing this breath test. If that test was positive, or there are more species of bad bacteria listed and they are at high levels, I would not take Profase or any other probiotic. You want to knock down the high levels in the case of sibo while you also clear the yeast.
What should I do if I don't do the stool test?
The protocol above is the best way to go; or you could do this one.
What if my test shows that I have H. pylori?
On the harmful bacteria webpage, towards the bottom is a protocol for H. pylori.
If I do the stool test, can I email you a copy and get your opinion?
Yes, absolutely. I would be more than happy to do that for you.
Can I do this protocol while I am also doing the mercury cleanse?
Yes, but you want to make sure you are having at least one good bowel movement per day.
Do I need to do anything else if I have skin or vaginal yeast?
It is best to also treat those directly at the same time. For skin yeast see this webpage and for vaginal yeast see this one. At the very least you can use the coconut oil on the skin and as a suppository for vaginal yeast.
