By joining this forum, you've taken an important first step towards healing. Our moderators and our members provide great support for those taking on the challenge of a candida program.



The Whole Approach Product Protocol (based on the Attogram/ Lahoz protocol)

In addition to a yeast free, sugar free, low glycemic, low carbohydrate diet, the anti-fungal program that our participating members are using is based on a three month cyles of a quality, natural, additive free anti fungals combined with two colon cleansing products (Bentonite liquid and Psyllium Blend) that combine to create a powerful, yeast detoxifying scrub brush for the entire intestinal tract. The program can be up to five phases long or longer depending on individual need.

The colon cleansing Psyllium Blend, Bentonite and water drink are affectionately called “the purge drink”). The anti fungals for phase number one and phase number two (Caproyl and Grapefruit Seed Extract) are liquid and are added to the purge drink. They are intended to focus on intestinal yeast most of all. This blend acts like a scrub brush to cleanse the colon and reduce candida populations. Phases three forward are not mixed in with the fibre, they are taken in capsule form and are intended to work more systemically in our bodies.

The Five Phases of the Attogram Lahoz Protocol



Additional nutritional and herbal products are made available through the Whole Approach store to complement your candida detoxification and health recovery program.

The Candida Diet

The other part of our program is the food therapy plan. We provide you with recommended food choice lists and detailed instructions for each stage of the diet. The stages of food therapy are not the same as the protocol phases. The phases change each three months. The stages of the food plan change as you get healthier. Detailed instructions are available in the Diet section.

The Whole Approach Food Therapy Program



Those with severe or increasing food sensitivities usually opt for a food therapy plan that includes four day rotations. These rotations help us to recover from and/or prevent the formation of food allergies (which are common with Candida Related Complex/ CRC). In the book section of the online store you can find an excellent diet guide that helps you design your own rotation diet. It's by Sondra Lewis and is called Allergy and Candida Cooking Made Easy.

For our full food therapy program, please see the Whole Approach Diet Pages (click above on 'Diet' or visit: Whole Approach Food Therapy Program . You can also do a search on this forum for any symptom or topic you may want to read more about. The search button is on the blue tool bar just above the forum contents "Find".

The Gift that Candida Illness has to Offer

Contrary to what our first response to a candida diagnoses may be, many of us will eventually find ourselves grateful to this condition for the wisdom that it has cultivated. The self care skills and intuition that we learn through a healing process that necessitates an introspective and holistic awareness can enhance the quality and length of the rest of our life.

In this sense, a candida related illness truly may be understood as a gift. At this stage you can look forward to an inspiring recovery process that will teach you how to live a happier, healthier lifestyle. Though you may not be able to fathom it at this moment, many of the positive changes you are going to integrate to heal, you may decide to integrate forever, because you may find a greater energy and sense of connection and intuitive gravitation towards natural foods. You will become familiar with the foods that are just right for you and when you feel vitalized you'll know that you've found the right combination! Your newfound increased health, your sparkling white eyes, clear skin and buoyant mood will set a beautiful example to those nearest and dearest to you. Although you may start this path 'alone' (except for your forum friends here), you may find that your loved ones drop into step with you along the route at some point. And, as you learn more about why you are doing what you do, you'll be better able to answer their curious questions about why you're looking so good.

Self-self-care-education is essential to recovery from a degenerative condition like CRC.
There are many helpful books to guide you through your healing adventure. In our book section, you’ll find everything from books about emotional healing to cooking with Stevia. Happy reading!

Help your Family Understand Candida
In addition to the ideas and personal guidance derived from the Whole Approach program support, many forum members find that sharing some of the resources from the site can be very effective as a means of informing friends and family about Candida Related Complex. Don’t worry, if your friends and family are not interested in learning more about candida, and even if they are skeptical or unsupportive you can still find the support you need to help you get better. It can be helpful to check in to read the postings from fellow members when you're feeling the need for support as the comradeship that forms here tends to feel extra therapeutic when you feel misunderstood by loved ones.
