Supplements
- When doing the Probiotic implant we are told to add ProbioMed 50/100 to water. How long should the ProbioMed 50/100 sit in water?
- What does Medi-Clay do?
- Can all of our own supplements and herbs be taken as well as the program’s supplements?
- Candida cleanses: It's recommended to rotate anti-fungals every four days. Is it okay to take oregano oil for two weeks straight or will my body build up an immunity to this rendering it ineffective?
- Digestive enzymes: I'm currently taking Thorne’s Biogest. Should I continue with this during the program or will supplements cover this? I know I need HCL and the ox bile. Not sure if the digestive enzymes in the Biogest will double up too much.
- I am in Plan F with Candida and my supplements are almost complete, but some of my spit stil sinks. Should I keep taking the fiber until it's all done?
- Regarding SIBO, but may apply to other plans: I have been taking Berberine and noticed it stated in the documentation not to take Berberine during the program. Does this apply to all Phases? Why wouldn't we want to take it concurrently with the program?
- Are the supplements vegan or vegetarian?
- I just learned I am severely deficient in calcium, gallic acid, glutamine, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, zinc, selenium, vanadium and D3. I eat foods that are supposed to be sources for these so I am confused and concerned. Help!
- I'm on plan S and am just starting slowly with my supplements after the fast. I’ve been taking HCL for years. Is it okay to continue and for how long? I know at some point I will need to stop since we are trying to help our bodies make their own.
- I'm Plan P...if we want to extend the PP do we keep taking/buy new supplements from phase 2? Continue with GI Microb X/GI Revive (buy a new bottle)?
- Is Aloe Vera high in FODMAPS? I took it for 4 consecutive nights and I had diarrhea. Is it supposed to work like this, giving us loose stool?
- Is Paul d'Arco tea good to drink during the whole program? Or is it something we should stop during Phase 3/ recolonizing? I am Plan F.
- I scored for Plan P and have IBS symptoms and poor digestion, but have no official diagnosis. Is plan P fine for me to go with? I take 2 supplements, both organic— shizandra and ling zhi/ reishi. Should I stop taking them while going through the program?
- Can you use colostrum called GI Restore before the pathogen purge? I’m already taking 5,000 units Vitamin D daily but can’t tell any difference. I just keep taking the Vitamin D, because most folks have a deficiency.
- Could you please tell me if nutritional yeast powder is approved for SIBO group? I would like to use about 1 Tbsp in my shake.
- I have a history of heartburn with oregano oil. After 2 days on it with this program, my heartburn is back. Also, I'm not on the proteolytic enzymes as they caused low back pain so I'm waiting until after the pathogen purge to try them again.
- Magnesium supplements: I have questions around magnesium being used by biofilms, and how pathogens hide under a "candy-coated shell" to avoid the immune system. What are your thoughts?
- Do I take collagen instead of coconut oil, and garlic instead of oregano oil because of food sensitivities? Coconut came up as a mild intolerance on ALCAT.
- I am currently supplementing phytoestrogens (100% maca root) to try and increase my estrogen and progesterone levels. Is this something I should continue or put on hold until I finish the program?
