ModerateGBS: 73 (Moderate-High Risk)detox

Candida Elimination Protocol

Developer: William Crook, Jeffrey McCombs

4-6 months, maintenance ongoing

Protocol Overview

Multi-phase protocol addressing candida overgrowth with antifungals, diet, and gut healing. Differs from quick cleanses by emphasizing biofilm disruption and preventing die-off overload.

Conditions Treated

Candida overgrowth

thrush

systemic yeast issues

Protocol Steps

Phase 1 - Preparation (2 weeks): Reduce sugar/carbs gradually, support detox pathways (liver support, binders), start probiotics (Saccharomyces boulardii, soil-based)

Phase 2 - Biofilm disruption (2 weeks): Serrapeptase 120,000 SPU on empty stomach, NAC 1800mg, EDTA, biofilm enzymes

Phase 3 - Kill phase (8-12 weeks): Antifungals rotated every 2-4 weeks: Caprylic acid (1-2g with meals), Oregano oil (ADP 600mg 3x/day), Pau d'arco tea (3-4 cups daily), Undecylenic acid (SF722 5-10 capsules 3x/day), Berberine (500mg 3x/day), Garlic extract (high allicin)

Prescription options: Nystatin (500,000 units 3-4x/day), Diflucan (100-200mg daily - more systemic)

Candida diet: Eliminate sugar, alcohol, refined carbs, fruit initially, yeast, vinegar, mushrooms

Emphasize: Vegetables, quality protein, healthy fats, low-glycemic foods

Die-off management: Molybdenum 300mcg (breaks down candida aldehydes), activated charcoal, coffee enemas, Epsom salt baths

Support digestion: Betaine HCl, enzymes, healing foods (bone broth)

Probiotics: High-dose multi-strain (50-100 billion CFU), S. boulardii (key antifungal probiotic)

Phase 4 - Healing/Prevention (8+ weeks): Continue low-sugar diet, probiotics indefinitely, l-glutamine, address root cause (antibiotics, stress, etc.)

Contraindications & Risks

Liver disease (with prescription antifungals), severe die-off can occur (go slow), avoid harsh cleanses

Important Notes

Candida overgrowth real but "systemic candida syndrome" controversial in mainstream medicine. Organic Acids Test can show candida metabolites. Die-off (acetaldehyde release) causes brain fog, fatigue - go slow. Biofilm disruption is critical - candida hides in biofilms. Rotating antifungals prevents resistance. Diet is foundation - candida feeds on sugar. Must address root cause: antibiotics, birth control, steroids, high-sugar diet. S. boulardii is evidence-based antifungal probiotic. Nystatin doesn't absorb (gut only), Diflucan is systemic. Many need prescription for stubborn cases.

About GBS Score

The Gabriel Bullshit Score reflects the magnitude of institutional response, controversy, and documented concerns. Higher scores indicate greater institutional pushback, not necessarily inefficacy. This is a research tool, not medical advice.
