About the Stages of Candida and effective healing and recovery strategies.
STAGE ONE
- Affects the mucous membranes of the body
- Symptoms manifest in mouth, nose, skin, sexual organs, respiratory system
STRATEGY 1: If you have only a few symptoms in Stage 1 Candida, symptoms may be resolved by using probiotics and adjusting your diet and lifestyle to stop feeding the yeast.
STRATEGY 2: If you have many symptoms in Stage 1, this indicates that gut dysbiosis has progressed and there is good chance of some gut damage. Dietary change and some steps to heal the gut such as GAPS diet may be necessary and will help the healing process. A Candida Cleanse is definitely recommended to remove any fungal candida that could continue to spread if left unchecked. Probiotics are recommended and zeolites/charcoal to remove toxins.
STAGE TWO
- Includes symptoms in Stage One, with more chronic reactions and generalized disorder
- The infection has begun to spread to other organs, which indicates a likely presence of leaky gut syndrome (gut damage), and fungal candida.
STRATEGY 1: CCWS is recommended to remove fungal candida, probiotics to repopulate, and zeolites/charcoal to remove toxins. Dietary changes are recommended to reduce inflammation and promote healing: Anti-candida, Paleo diet, AIP, SCD, ketogenic, GAPS.
STRATEGY 2: If you have struggled with this stage for some time, and/or you have many symptoms in stage 2, you may want to use more than one bottle of CCWS for your first cleanse. AIP, SCD, or GAPS diet is recommended to help the gut heal so as to prevent reinfection of fungal candida. Client may want to keep CCWS on hand for follow up cleansing in the case of reinfection while gut healing.
STAGE THREE
- Includes symptoms from Stage 1 & 2, in Stage 3 the behavior and mental health becomes affected
Healing Strategy: More than 1 CCWS is recommended to remove fungal candida, probiotics to repopulate, and zeolites/charcoal to remove toxins. If you have struggled with this stage for some time, and/or you have many symptoms in stage 3, you may want to start with 3 consecutive bottles of CCWS.
GAPS diet is highly recommended to help the gut heal to prevent reinfection of fungal candida. Client may want to keep CCWS on hand for follow-up cleansing in the case of reinfection while gut healing.
Additional supplements and practices to support digestion and organ function (liver, kidneys) are highly recommended.
STAGE FOUR
- Symptoms of earlier stages of candida are present
- The candida infection is systemic and begins to shut down organs and systems
Healing Strategy: Client may want to work with a practitioner to make sure excretory system is functioning. GAPS diet is highly recommended to help the gut heal and help client begin home detox, while strengthening the immune system for cleansing from Candida.
Probiotics and zeolites/charcoal to remove toxins. For the best results, client may want to start with 3 consecutive bottles of CCWS. GAPS diet is highly recommended to continue healing the gut to prevent reinfection of fungal candida. Client may want to keep CCWS on hand for follow-up cleansing in the case of reinfection while gut healing. Additional supplements and practices to support digestion and organ function (liver, kidneys) are highly recommended.
STAGE FIVE
- At this stage, the infection has spread to the entire body and the organs shut down.
- The person may die.
- Systemic fungal infection is emerging as a significant cause of mortality in immunocompromised people. We urge you to address your fungal infection before you ever reach this stage.
