Candida Die Off Symptoms

Candida Die Off

What is Candida Die Off

Also known as a Herxheimer Reaction

Living yeast cause symptoms by releasing toxic metabolic by-products into your body. Unfortunately, as you detox and kill them they will temporarily release even larger amounts of these toxins. Generally speaking, most folks experience die-off effects as an exaggeration of their existing Candida-related symptoms or as a worsening of chronic health conditions. Feeling some of your symptoms worsen a bit might be alarming but is encouraging in the sense that it confirms both the presence of Candida and its susceptibility to the anti-fungal you are using.

Candida Die-off is experienced differently by each person in terms of both symptoms and severity. Most will experience die-off at some point in their recovery. There really is, however, no sure way to predict what point or to what degree one is likely to feel it. Others start treatment (in some cases even just diet change) and feel worse right off the bat in response to the temporary toxicity.

Many experience flu-like symptoms during the die-off (stuffiness, headache, general aches, and pains), skin rashes, vaginal irritation/discharge, numbness, mental confusion, fatigue, brain fog, constipation, and/or diarrhea.

How long do Candida die off symptoms last?

The candida die-off reaction normally lasts from one day to one week and can come and go throughout the program (it is especially likely to occur during the first weeks of a new phase of the program). However, as our body becomes stronger, your susceptibility to Candida toxins is reduced, and thus so are your die-off symptoms.

As we have said, CCWS Candida Cleanser is completely non-reactive to human body function and has no side effects at all. That been said, many people who have a serious Candida infection do find that when they take the CCWS Candida Cleanser they find that they feel worse before they feel better. This Candida Die-off is completely normal and is known as a ‘healing crisis’ or a ‘Jarisch-Herxheimer’ reaction. What is basically happening is that the CCWS Candida Cleanser is doing its job and destroying the chitin protection of the fungus. This means that your body now is able to attack the fungus and kill it. This rapid killing off of the Candida means that toxins are released into the body which can result in some of the die-off symptoms listed here.

The Candida yeast cells actually release 79 different toxins when they die, including ethanol and acetaldehyde. This is only temporary as very quickly the CCWS treatment will have killed the majority of the fungus and within a few days of the die-off reaction you will be feeling a LOT better than you did before! Candida Die-Off symptoms will vary from person to person, as each will have different degrees of infestation.

Coping with  Candida Die-Off

Candida Die-off symptoms normally clear up within a week or so, but could last a little longer. However, there are a few things you can do to slow down this reaction or expel the toxins faster.

• Take a supplement containing activated charcoal like Zeoco to help absorb the toxins. Zeoco also contains zeolites which absorb and expel the toxins from candida die-off.
  Activated charcoal soap can also be effective on the toxins released through the skin.
• Magnesium supplements can also be used to reduce the effects of candida die-off especially acetaldehyde, as magnesium underpins the enzymes used to remove acetaldehyde and other die off toxins. magnesium deficiency is common under stress, and results in a weakened immune system.
• Cut back or temporarily discontinue antifungal supplements.
  Antifungals work by breaking down the walls of the Candida yeast cells, which then release the many toxins that the Candida has been producing. Reducing your antifungal dosage will cut down the number of toxins being released into your bloodstream. When you feel better, you can start to increase it again.
• Reduce your dosage of probiotics.
  A course of good probiotics will repopulate your gut, crowd out the Candida, restore your stomach acidity and boost your immune system. Probiotics are less likely than antifungals to cause Die-Off, but if you start to experience the symptoms you can temporarily reduce your dosage.
• Increase water intake to flush out the toxins faster.
  If you want to feel better, all those byproducts that are released by the Candida yeast need to leave your body. You can give them a push by drinking more water.
• Rest as much as possible.
  Stress can weaken your adrenals and reduce your body’s ability to fight pathogens like a fungal infection. Relaxing and taking some personal time will help your immune system to do what it was designed to do.
• Take  Vitamin C twice daily.
  This multi-purpose vitamin boosts your adrenals and helps restore your immune system to health.
