Bio K

[CherTLC4u]

Its a long story, but I know I have Candida problems. Thru my research and asking questions at the Whole Foods market Bio K seems to be the absolute best stuff. Anybody ever try this?

I also bought Oil of Oregano pills. Says 2 capsules contain 4,600 mg crude herb equivalent. Take 1 capsule with a small amount of warm water 2 times daily between meals. How does this sound? Should I stick with 2 capsules per day?

I also bought Apple Cider Vinegar chewable. Take 1 chewable tablet up to two times dail or allow it to disolve gradually. Oh man! maybe this stuff is not right for Atkins??? Thats what I get for shopping without my glasses on!

Should I take just the Bio K for 2 weeks? and then the pills? or what?

I understand the eating thing. I dont think I'll have a problem with that.

I have read ALL the posts on this board and if there is anything anyone would like to add I'd appreciate it.

Are you taking Acidophilus? No matter where I read about Candida, that seems to be the #1 thing they talk about, and lacto bifidus...or something. Is that what Bio K is? I've never heard of it myself.

Bio K Plus contains a minimum of 50 billion live active bacteria per 3.5 oz. Must be refrigerated. Acidophilus/Casei Dairy Culture 100% Natural.

According to the lady at the health food store said this is the best stuff for this problem. Is around $26 dollars for 6 3.5 bottles using 1/2 bottle per day so its not cheap!

You may want to check out Primal Defense by Garden of Life. Pricey, but worth it. There are quite a few strains of probiotics besides acidophilus, and they all occupy different areas of your digestive tract, and all are important.
Primal Defense contains them all. It's powerful stuff and no refrigeration necessary.

Where do you get Primal Defense? Will a health food store have it?

Re: Bio K

Regarding PRIMAL DEFENSE. I'm no expert, thats for sure, but I just read on another forum that this stuff does work at first but could cause some major problems later on. If I'm not mistaken it unleashes a new strain of bacteria into your system that will certainly kill the yeast, but will then implant themselves and reek havoc in your digestive tract themselves. You may want to read up on it before using it.
