Do I Have Candidiasis?
Your score on this questionnaire will help you and your health
practitioner determine the likelihood that your health problems are Candida
related. The score analysis provided below is intended for use as a general
guide. A positive score does not indicate a definite diagnosis of Candida, nor
is this an exhaustive list of possible Candida symptoms. However, the higher
your score, the stronger the likelihood that Candida overgrowth is
contributing to your health problems.
Instructions
Score each symptom between 0 and 10, depending on the degree to which it applies
to you.
If the symptom does not apply, score 0.
If the symptom occurs occasionally or is very mild, score 2 or 3 points.
If the symptom is frequent or moderately severe, score 5 or 6 points.
If the symptom is severe, score 9 or 10 points.

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE BOOKLET BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR
ANTI-CANDIDA PROGRAM. HOWEVER IF YOU WISH TO BYPASS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND COME
BACK TO IT LATER, TURN TO CHAPTER SIX, THE YEAST BUSTERTM ANTI-CANDIDA PROGRAM ON PG. 38.
Chapter One
WHAT IS CANDIDIASIS?
Candida albicans is a yeast that resides in the human bowel. Under normal
conditions, only a small number of Candida live in our intestine. A healthy
bowel should contain 85% friendly bacteria and 15% pathogens (antagonistic
bacteria), including Candida albicans. These friendly bacteria keep yeast and
other pathogens in check. Candidiasis is an overgrowth of Candida albicans.
The Candida starts out as simple, relatively harmless single-celled yeast.
Left unchecked, it can become a nuisance, developing large colonies and
contributing to a wide variety of health problems in both men and women.
If this "nuisance" condition is not controlled, the yeast can develop into a
more stubborn organism, namely the mycelial fungus form of Candida. This
form can contribute to many more serious problems and can be very
challenging to overcome. When the Candida problem has advanced to this
degree, it is referred to as "systemic Candidiasis."
In addition to Candida albicans, there is another potentially problematic
yeast called Candida monilla. This yeast gravitates to the vagina and
contributes to vaginitis.

alcohol called ethanol. These by-products are constantly polluting the bloodstream and are directly responsible for a multitude of Candida-related symptoms. Overcoming Candida overgrowth necessitates a determined, multifaceted healing approach. Natural remedies such as antifungal herbs,
immune-boosting herbs, and bowel cleansing products, offer the most effective help.
Diagnosing Candidiasis
My doctor tells me he cant find anything wrong with me,
but I know Im sick.
Because Candida is a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract (GI
tract), Candidiasis is hard to diagnose. There are blood and stool tests that
may assist in the diagnosis of a Candida overgrowth. Unfortunately, these
assays are expensive and are not always readily available through every
practitioner. Despite its elusive nature, more and more medical doctors are
recognizing the clinical problems caused by Candida. There are still however
many more that proclaim the victim of Candidiasis to be a "hypochondriac."
To complicate matters more, malnutrition, glandular imbalances, hormone
problems, parasites, and mercury, fluoride, or lead poisoning, to name a
few, are other conditions that can produce symptoms similar to those
caused by Candidiasis. However, Candidiasis overgrowth is often associated
with these problems. Treating Candida may not eliminate all of the symptoms
if there is an additional underlying cause, but it will help to strengthen the
body so that it is more capable of overcoming the other conditions.
Many MDs with good intentions unknowingly worsen their patients condition
by prescribing the multi-purpose antibiotic. Happily, growing numbers of
patients, who have eventually found relief from their symptoms through the
treatment of Candida overgrowth, are reporting their good results back to
their MDs. Although a growing number of MDs are aware of this condition,
there are still a great number of MDs who are unable to recognize

Chapter Two
THE YEAST BUSTERTM CANDIDA SOLUTION
This multi-faceted approach is a proven effective method of Candida control.
1. It kills excess yeast in the intestines and eliminates its breeding
grounds by cleaning the bowel. It re-establishes a healthy balance
of flora through supplementation with friendly bacteria.
2. It stops you from feeding the Candida by helping you adopt a diet
that starves the yeast while nourishing your body.
3. It eliminates the mycelial form of yeast that has migrated to other
organs in the body (systemic Candida overgrowth) and detoxifies
the Candidas waste products.
4. It strengthens the body and helps the immune system rebuild
itself.
Lets now consider why each of these aspects of the program is so
important.

Chapter Three
THE ANTI-CANDIDA DIET
Diet plays a large role in the development of Candidiasis, and so diet
modification has to play a role in recovery. An anti-Candida diet is essential,
whether your condition is mild or severe. This does not mean that you will
never eat your favourite foods again, but at least during the program you
may have to incorporate substitutions in some of your meals. The foods that
promote yeast growth need to be eliminated or reduced, and more healthy,
immune boosting foods need to be introduced to strengthen health and
immunity.
Anything Sweet or Fermented is "Super Food" for Candida
The degree of diet change required, depends partially upon the severity of
your condition. However, regardless of how severe your Candidiasis is, the
more you restrict Candida "Super Foods" from your diet, the faster you will
recover. Once your body is stronger and the Candida population reduced,
you can reintroduce some of the restricted foods again.
13
As you discover new foods, new flavours, and the positive effects they have
on your energy and mood, you will begin to realize that your healing
experience can be an exciting journey. As you get more familiar with your
new food choices and become stronger, what at first may have seemed like
deprivation will likely seem more like an advantage. The experience will
undoubtedly broaden your culinary horizons and "cultivate" your palate.
The diet guidelines required for Candida recovery may appear challenging
for a variety of reasons. You may have hurdles that relate to finances, energy
level, degree of family support, availability of healthy food ingredients, or
culinary skills. Whatever your obstacles, your determination and a strong
desire to get better, are the most important motivators to stimulate your
creativity.
Many people find that after the initial adjustment, they feel so good on this
new healthy diet, that they want to incorporate some of their new diet
discoveries permanently. For most people, the Candidiasis experience
provides lessons about improving the quality of their lives that will last a
lifetime.
Diet Donts
Any foods containing fruit, fruit juice, sugar, or even natural sweeteners
(except stevia) will help Candida to multiply. Fermented foods like vinegar,
miso, cheeses, and alcohol, can also aggravate the condition by nourishing
the yeast. Some foods that are "yeast-like" can cause sensitivities because
one is sensitized to the Candida (e.g., mushrooms, yeast extract, and bakers
or nutritional yeast).
Starchy foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, white rice, breads (even
yeast-free breads are starchy), and pasta are quickly converted into sugars.
Starchy foods need to be avoided at the beginning of the program, but can
gradually be reintroduced as you improve. Processed foods, preservatives,
and refined or cooked unsaturated oils, weaken the body and should be
avoided. Mucus-producing foods such as dairy foods (including cheese),
refined flours, and meat should be restricted as they promote sluggish
digestion and will slow the elimination of wastes from the bowel.
14
Diet Dos
A detoxifying diet rich in a variety of fibre, essential fatty acids,
vegetables, legumes, white meats, alternative grains (in moderation), and
complementary vegetarian proteins (beans combined with grains) is the
most supportive to this program. Healthy oils like flax oil (always served
unheated), which are rich in essential fatty acids, can support the healing
process and can also help to conquer the yeast.
TIP: Many people think that finding something appropriate to make for
breakfast is challenging. Our traditional habit of consuming sweet and
starchy foods at breakfast must be put aside at least while on the YEAST
BUSTERTM program. Consider a breakfast consisting of foods that you might
ordinarily eat for lunch or dinner. It may even be helpful for you to make
extra food at supper the night before that you can eat for breakfast. You will
probably find that eliminating the sweet foods in the morning will result in
greater satiation and longer lasting energy.

The "Yes" list is not a complete list of everything that you can include in your
anti-candida diet, nor is every food on it necessarily right for you. Use your
good judgement and knowledge of your own individual tolerances to
expand on this list and/or to avoid foods that are inappropriate for you. For
more specific suggestions, see the list of Candida cookbooks on pg. 65.
Whenever possible, buy organic foods, as they contain fewer chemicals and
are far more nutritious.

The "No" list is also not an exhaustive list. Use your own common sense to
ascertain from these examples what foods may be similarly unsuitable
based on their starch or sugar content, etc. Depending on your individual
tolerances, there may be other foods from which you must abstain.

Fruits
substances)
lemons or semi-sweet fruits (apples, pears, peaches, plums, watermelons)
Sweeteners
Near the end of your program, you may be able to take some natural sweeteners
(in very small amounts) besides stevia. The following natural sweeteners
tend to be more nutritious and therefore better tolerated than other sugars:
apple juice (as a sweetener, not a beverage)
rice syrup
organic molasses fruit-source powder SucanatTM
18
There are other natural sweeteners, but the ones listed here tend to be the
best tolerated. You may tolerate some better than others. Remember not to
overdo it, as these foods will feed Candida.
Food Cravings
At the beginning of your YEAST BUSTERTM program, you will probably find
that your desire for these foods increases as you start to kill off some of the
Candida. The yeast requires these foods for its survival. As it begins to
starve, you feel as if you are being urged to eat these very foods, from a
powerful force within. It can feel not unlike a drug addicts craving for drugs
in some cases. Unfortunately, the only way to starve the yeast of their
favourite foods is to "starve" yourself of them. Keeping this thought in mind
can be helpful for drumming up the will power required to resist these
treats.
Some Candida treatment books offer "Stage 1, 2, and 3" diets and
recommend that you stay on each stage for a predetermined length of time.
The YEAST BUSTERTM approach is based on the belief that food choices and
diet modification need to be individualized, depending on the severity of
your condition. The other "cookie-cutter" type of program may seem simpler,
but doesnt account for the fact that each person heals at a different speed.
You need to tune in to what you can tolerate. This is the reason for the
customized approach of the YEAST BUSTER program.

Chapter Four
CANDIDA, INDIGESTION,
AND ALLERGIES
The healthy digestive system will efficiently break foods down into their
smallest components (amino acids, simple sugars, fatty acids, etc.) so that
they can be absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.
The digestive system that is stricken with Candida is compromised. Candida
fungus growing on the surface of the intestinal tract creates a barrier that
prevents proper absorption of dietary nutrients and leads to malnutrition. As
a result, both obesity and emaciation (extreme thinness) are commonly
associated with the Candida problem. One may be hungry shortly after eating
because the much-needed vitamins and minerals were not properly
absorbed. The appetite can almost become constant, which can lead to
weight gain. The opposite can also be true. If digestion and/or absorption are
compromised to the point that very little is being absorbed, one can experience
rapid weight loss and, in fact, starve.
22
The yeast stifles the action of friendly bacteria needed to help break food
down. Thus Candida overgrowth often results in accumulations of undigested
food that putrefy (or literally rot) in the intestines and promote the growth
of pathogenic bacteria. The more of these undesirable bacteria found in the
intestines, the more indigestion, gas, bloating, and intestinal toxicity will be
experienced. These unfavourable conditions can also lead to diarrhea and
constipation.
The liver and kidneys are stressed by the increased responsibility of eliminating
Candida waste products (mycotoxins). These organs are not only important
eliminative organs, but they also play a key role in the digestive process.
When these organs become congested with Candida and mycotoxins, our
digestion is further compromised. When normal digestive functions are
disturbed, nutrient deficiency ensues.

Four of the most common methods used to uncover hidden food allergies
/sensitivities are described below in brief. Hidden allergies are reactions to
foods that are not obvious because they are not immediate. Some reactions may
occur as long as 3 days after ingestion, and symptoms of food allergies are
at least as varied as symptoms of Candidiasis. Whatever diagnostic method
you employ, it is only a guide. No method of allergy detection is 100 percent
accurate. It is important that you listen to your body, allowing your intuition
to guide you.

YEAST BUSTERTM

D. DDS ACIDOPHILUS
(The Friendly Bacteria
Supplement)
ACIDOPHILUS is the most pro-active friendly
bacteria in the human gut. ACIDOPHILUS helps to
protect us from pathogens like Candida by keeping
yeast
populations
under
control.
Unfortunately, most of us are deficient in
ACIDOPHILUS owing to the many factors in modern
lifestyles that kill our good bacteria. Chlorinated
water, antibiotics, and food preservatives kill
good bacteria as well as bad.
The DDS strain of ACIDOPHILUS is the most
potent, well researched ACIDOPHILUS on the market. This therapeuticstrength bacteria was developed by a prominent leader in probiotics
research, the renowned Dr. S. Dash, founder of UAS Laboratories.
This high-quality ACIDOPHILUS supplement is an essential element of the
YEAST BUSTERTM program. DDS ACIDOPHILUS has been shown to release
hydrogen peroxide, which helps control the yeast and other pathogens. DDS
ACIDOPHILUS has also been shown to release acidophilin (a natural antibiotic),
B vitamins, Vitamin K, and lactase (the enzyme required to break down milk).
30
the body struggles to eliminate these wastes. As with the CAPROIL, the bulking
action of the PSYLLIUM is essential to the effectiveness of the BENTONITE.
The BENTONITE is evenly dispersed in the PSYLLIUM fibre, which presses it
against the sides of the intestinal tract to more effectively pick up the toxins.
Taken alone, it will be essentially useless.
For a complete recovery from Candidiasis and for increased resistance to
Candida overgrowth in the future, it is critical that the populations of good
bacteria be restored. After cleansing, the intestines are clean, but essentially
stripped of their defenses (the beneficial bacteria). For best results, a
therapeutic-strength Acidophilus bacteria supplement like DDS
ACIDOPHILUS should be used.

COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS
Introducing YEAST BUSTERTM
OLIVE LEAF Extract
The YEAST BUSTERTM OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT has been standardized to contain
12 percent Oleuropein (antifungal), the highest potency available. A potent
antifungal like OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT is essential to overcome systemic
Candidiasis.
YEAST BUSTERTM OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT, is an extract of the leaves of the as
natures most powerful antibiotic and for its ability to combat yeast, fungus,
bacteria, and viruses. It has been used for centuries by Middle Eastern
cultures to treat fevers and a broad spectrum of microbial disorders including
fever, coughs, cystitis, and skin problems. With the overuse and abuse of
antibiotics and the growing number of bacteria that mutate and become
more virulent with each new generation, an effective natural antimicrobial
like OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT is an important nontoxic alternative remedy.
Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, although lethal to many undesirable bacteria,
Olive Leaf appears to be harmless to friendly intestinal flora, making it an
ideal treatment for intestinal infestations like Candidiasis. For more
information on "Natures Antibiotic," see Dr Morton Walkers book entitled
Olive Leaf Extract (Natures Antibiotic).
35
NOTE: drops must be diluted in water, even when taken with the YEAST
BUSTER mixture of BENTONITE, PSYLLIUM husks/seeds powder.
To "Phase Out" GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT:
Reduce by 5 drops per week, starting with 15, over 3 weeks before discontinuing.
DIE-OFF
You may have to feel worse before you feel better
The phrases "die-off" and "Herxheimer Reaction" refer to the discomfort that
may be experienced as the body begins to flush out toxins released by
Candida as it dies. The YEAST BUSTERTM KIT is designed to minimize this
reaction through the detoxifying action of the PSYLLIUM and BENTONITE.
Die-off symptoms can include fatigue, headache, mental "fogginess," diarrhea,
nasal congestion, and a vast myriad of other symptoms. These reactions
rarely last more than a few days and can be viewed as a signal that the
program is working.
If die-off symptoms are mild, you may wish to take the YEAST BUSTERTM
antifungal drink twice a day to speed up your recovery. The YEAST BUSTERTM
DDS ACIDOPHILUS may also be taken twice a day.
If progress is rushed, the die-off reaction can be severe. It is for this reason
that on this program, the CAPROIL and OLIVE LEAF dosages are increased
very gradually. These antifungal components of the program can cause
significant die-off. As the antifungals kill the yeast, some of the Candida-related
symptoms might temporarily worsen. Sugar cravings may increase or
irritability and depression may worsen. It is for this reason that the dosages
of OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT and CAPROIL are increased slowly on the program.
If die-off symptoms become too uncomfortable, the CAPROIL and/or OLIVE
LEAF EXTRACT (the antifungals) should be reduced temporarily and then
gradually increased again. If severe symptoms develop, see your health
practitioner.

Chapter Six
THE YEAST BUSTERTM
ANTI-CANDIDA PROGRAM
"Putting It All Together"
You have already established your score on the questionnaire at the beginning of the booklet. The following diet and product recommendations are
based on your score (mild, moderate, or severe). Start with the treatment
recommendations for the level of Candidiasis you have. The instructions for
each section are summarized in chart form for your convenience. Use the
questionnaire on the following pages to score yourself every week. This
ongoing information is essential for you to be able to adjust the program as
you progress.
The yeast stifles the action of friendly bacteria needed to help break food
down. Thus Candida overgrowth often results in accumulations of undigested
food that putrefy in the intestines and promote the growth of putrefactive
bacteria. The greater the presence of these undesirable bacteria in the intestines, the more indigestion, gas, bloating, and intestinal toxicity we will
experience. These unfavourable conditions can also lead to diarrhea and
constipation.
38
The liver and kidneys are stressed by the increased responsibility of eliminating Candida waste products (mycotoxins). These organs are not only
important eliminative organs but they also play a key role in the digestive
process. When these organs become congested with Candida and mycotoxins,
our digestion is compromised further. When normal digestive functions are
disturbed, nutrient deficiency ensues.
Questionnaire Section
This questionnaire is designed to be completed every week for up to 16
consecutive weeks. Devoting a few minutes a week to this exercise will be
well worth your effort as it will provide a clear indication of your progress on
the program. The encouragement an improved score can give you is an
important ingredient for success with the YEAST BUSTERTM Program.
While you are on the program, some of your symptoms may disappear or
change, while others may temporarily worsen. This is normal. Using the
questionnaire regularly allows you to see the overall picture as you improve.
If your symptoms become severe while you are on the program, see your
health care professional.
Please note: The questionnaire has been included to help you or your health
practitioner determine the likelihood that your health problems are Candida
related. The score analysis here is intended for use as a general guide. A
positive score does not indicate a definite diagnosis of Candida, nor does
this questionnaire provide an exhaustive list of Candidiasis symptoms. As
previously mentioned, there are other health conditions that can produce a
similar set of symptoms. Keep in mind that these other conditions are often
accompanied by a Candida problem.
39
Candida Questionnaire
Score each symptom between 0 and 10, depending on the degree to which
it applies to you.
If the symptom does not apply, score 0.
If the symptom occurs occasionally or is very mild, score 2 or 3 points.
If the symptom is frequent or moderately severe, score 5 or 6 points.
If the symptom is severe, score 9 or 10 points.

MILD CANDIDIASIS
Diet Recommendations
Avoid all foods on the "NO" list (pg. 17) throughout the program. Avoid
foods from the "Reduce" list (pgs. 18 & 19) for 2 weeks. Thereafter, as long
as you seem to be tolerating them, allow these foods 2 to 3 times in the next
week. Complete the questionnaire at the end of each week. If your progress
continues, you may try eating these foods 1 to 2 times a day in moderation
until symptoms subside completely. Although you might feel fantastic, it is
wise to avoid making drastic changes to your diet immediately after the
program.
Product Recommendations
Use the YEAST BUSTERTM KIT according to directions (pg. 32) for a
minimum of 8 weeks.
YEAST BUSTERTM GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT and OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT
are optional for mild cases of Candidiasis, but will speed recovery and
provide additional benefit when used according to the recommendations in
this booklet (pgs. 34-36).
If symptoms have not improved substantially (50% or better) after 4 weeks
on the program (including the diet), either there are other main factors at play
besides yeast, or you have a very stubborn case of yeast. If the kit alone has
not been able to overcome the yeast, the body will need additional support
and treatment with OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT ought to be considered. Continue
treatment with the kit while introducing OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT according to
instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If symptoms have not improved at all after 4 weeks on
the program (including anti-Candida products and diet), see a health care
professional. In this case, it should be suspected that Candida is not the
main source of your symptoms. A complete physical evaluation is indicated.

CONGRATULATIONS!
NOTE: If your symptoms improve and then become worse as you re-introduce
some of the "REDUCE" foods, you may need to abstain from them for a
longer period of time. A worsening of symptoms can also indicate that you
have uncovered a "hidden" food allergy. (These sensitivities are often "hidden"
from us because they do not occur immediately after ingestion. For more
information on Candida and allergies see pgs. 23-27). In the case of this sort
of relapse, a little detective work may be in order. Meanwhile, listen to your
body and discontinue the suspected food for another couple of weeks. When
the Candida symptoms have improved, you can carefully experiment with
these problem foods again. You may need to eliminate some foods until you
have fully recovered.
MODERATE CANDIDIASIS
Diet Recommendations
Avoid all foods on the "NO" list throughout the program (pg. 17). For the first
3 weeks, also abstain from foods on the "REDUCE" list (pgs. 18 & 19). Then
introduce "REDUCE" foods 2 to 3 times per week. Complete the questionnaire at the end of each week. When symptoms improve to a mild score, you
may eat foods from the "REDUCE" list up to once a day, as tolerated. If
"REDUCE" foods have been reintroduced successfully, you can include them
up to twice a day until your symptoms subside completely. Although you
might feel fantastic, it is wise to avoid making drastic changes to your diet
immediately after ending the program.
Product Recommendations
Use the YEAST BUSTERTM KIT for 2 weeks. Then while continuing on the
YEAST BUSTERTM KIT, begin OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT according to instructions.
This gradual approach to starting the program is designed to minimize the
die-off reaction. Continue to retest every week using the questionnaire. Stay
on the maximum dose of all products until your symptoms subside
completely, then gradually discontinue the use of the products according to
instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If symptoms have not improved at all after 4 weeks on

SEVERE CANDIDIASIS
Diet Recommendations
Avoid all foods on the "NO" list throughout the program (pg. 17). For the first
5 weeks also abstain from foods on the "REDUCE" list (pgs. 18 & 19). Then
introduce "REDUCE" foods 23 times a week. Complete the questionnaire at
the end of each week. When your symptoms have improved to a moderate
score, you may eat foods from the "REDUCE" list up to once per day as
tolerated. When your symptoms further improve to a mild score, you may
try eating the "REDUCE" foods up to twice a day until symptoms subside
completely. Although you might feel fantastic, it is wise to avoid making
drastic changes to your diet immediately after the program.
Product Recommendations
Use the YEAST BUSTERTM KIT for 2 weeks. While continuing on the YEAST
BUSTERTM KIT, begin OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT and GRAPEFRUIT SEED
EXTRACT according to instructions. This gradual approach to starting the
program is designed to minimize the die-off reaction. Continue to retest
every week using the questionnaire. Stay on the maximum dose of all products
until your symptoms are relieved, then gradually discontinue the use of the
products according to instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If symptoms have not improved at all after 4 weeks on the program (including
anti-Candida products and diet), see a health care professional. In this case,
it should be suspected that Candida is not the main source of your
symptoms. A complete physical evaluation is indicated.

NOTE: If your symptoms improve and then become worse as you reintroduce
some of the "REDUCE" foods, you may need to abstain from them for a
longer period of time. A worsening of symptoms can also indicate that you
have uncovered a "hidden" food allergy. (These sensitivities are often "hidden"
from us because they do not occur immediately after ingestion. For more
information on Candida and allergies see pgs. 22-27.) In the case of this sort
of relapse, a little detective work may be in order. Meanwhile, listen to your
body and discontinue the suspected food for another couple of weeks. When
the Candida symptoms have improved, you could experiment with these
problem foods again, very carefully. You may need to eliminate some foods
until you have fully recovered, and then investigate.
You may use a gentle, non-irritating herbal laxative for a day or so, but it
should not be used continuously or your body may become dependent on
it. If available, the Ayurvedic formula from India called Triphala is a product,
that can be safely used long-term to support elimination.
CHOLESTEROL BALANCE
Whats a cholesterol product doing in this booklet? Inno-Vitess Cholesterol
Balance is listed here since its the most potent pantethine supplement on
the market. It weighs in at 450 mg of pantethine per softgel.
53
Pantethine is the most active form of Vitamin B5 (do not confuse with pantothenic acid, which is also considered B5, but does not have the same
bioactivity as pantethine). While most associate pantethine with cholesterol
reduction, it does have a complementary use in the Yeast Buster program.
Pantethine repairs the metabolic processes that are damaged by a Candida
outbreak. As mentioned earlier, the Candida yeast leaves a waste product
called acetaldehyde, which plays havoc with your body. This nasty chemical
affects your metabolic, endocrine, neurological and immune systems, often
resulting in that brain fog characteristic of Candida. Pantethine addresses
these symptoms of Candida by inducing the enzyme that is responsible for
deactivating acetaldehyde an enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase. By
neutralizing acetaldehyde as quickly as possible, the die-off and/or
Candida-related symptoms can be minimized.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY CURCUMIN
(previously named Curcu-gel)
In a cell culture study, curcumin the active agent found in the common
curry spice, turmeric was found to exert anti-fungal properties. The effects
of curcumin on 23 different strains of fungi were investigated, as was the
inhibitory effect of curcumin on the adhesion of Candida species to human
epithelial cells. Results found that curcumin was significantly more effective
than the common anti-fungal agent, fluconazole, in inhibiting the adhesion
of Candida to human cells. The authors of this study concluded, Curcumin
dramatically inhibited the adhesion of Candida speciesdemonstrating that
curcumin is a promising lead compound that warrants further investigation
into its therapeutical use in immunocompromised patients.
Inno-Vites Anti-Inflammatory Curcumin is the most bioavailable curcumin
product on the market and has been proven to be the most potent in clinical
trials published in peer-reviewed medical journals.

Listening to Our Bodies
As you end the program, you may find an interesting phenomenon at play.
People call it "The Price of Health." Youve heard it before, folks who have
become more health conscious start complaining about their decreased
tolerance for junk food and unhealthy substances like artificial flavours,
colours or preservatives.
There seem to be several explanations for this phenomenon, one of which
is related to intestinal health. Many years of eating refined flours, meat,
dairy, and low fibre diets forms a buildup of mucus and hardened fecal matter
in the intestines. This buildup creates a barrier to absorption, thus preventing
the proper absorption of nutrients. It also reduces our sensitivity to poisons
in our diet so that we dont even know when we are eating things that are
harmful for us.
The YEAST BUSTERTM approach to recovery from Candida results in the elimination of some of this waste material, thus facilitating greater absorption of
nutrients. As absorption becomes more efficient, not only does the body
55
become more responsive to nutrients, but also to poisons in the diet. We are
more likely to recognize when a food is not healthy for us.
Increased sensitivity is a blessing in disguise. It discourages us from
overindulging and prevents the less obvious consequences of poor diet
from "catching up with us" in the long run.

RECIPES
Tortillas
1 1/4 cup any flour (amaranth, millet, or quinoa)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water, room temperature
1/2 - 1 tsp oil, optional (use it especially with quinoa and millet flour)
Whisk 1 cup flour and the salt together in a bowl. Make a "well" in the center and
pour in the oil and water. Stir several strokes with a fork until the dough clumps
together in a ball.
Preheat a large griddle or 2 skillets. Scatter the remaining 1/4 cup of flour on a
bread board or piece of wax paper.
Break off balls of dough, the size of a golf ball. Roll them in flour. Flatten with your
hand, turning often to keep them floured. As the dough absorbs flour, the texture
becomes more workable.
Roll each tortilla thinner with a rolling pin. When thin, and 6 - 7 inches across, check
both sides to see that they're well floured. Bake them on the hot griddle, one or
more at a time (depending on your equipment). Use no oil.
Bake about 3 minutes on each side. Once you get the feel of making and baking
tortillas, you'll do it quickly and easily.
