Our entire community followed an anti-candida protocol revived from history by Dr. Jennifer Daniels using 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine with great success!

We published research and results of our experiment to inspire others towards their own improved health and wellness.

Herein is a summary of all articles:

1. 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine

​First and foremost, you must do your own research especially on any substance you are considering putting on or in your body. 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine is an all-natural substance derived from fir, pine, or spruce trees, similar to a tea tree essential oil with incredible healing properties, and it is vitally different than the stuff you can find in a can at the hardware store.

2. Candida - Agent of Destruction or Health Companion?

​Candida the microorganism behaves as either a yeast or a fungus depending on the environment. Candida does in fact exist naturally within and even contributes some healthful benefits to the human body! However, an overgrowth of candida leads to a condition called candidiasis. A vast majority of Americans suffer from symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, digestive problems, infections, allergies, joint pain, mood swings and much more - all of which could be greatly alleviated and even eradicated if candida (and other parasitic) populations are kept in check. 

3. How to Test Yourself at Home for Candida, One of the Most Problematic Conditions for Modern Health

​If you suffer from any of the symptoms listed above, try this easy, free, at-home test to see if you might have a candida overgrowth. All you have to do is spit in a cup of water and observe what happens! Consult the chart in this article to compare your results to what one would see with no candida (or more accurately, healthful levels of candida), some candida, or an overgrowth. 

4. Candida Cleanse: THE DIET

​If you too choose to follow this protocol, it is essential to follow the anti-candida diet on the same days you take 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine so not only do you poison candida without harming yourself, but you also starve candida of their favorite food sources while nourishing your own body. The anti-candida diet is essentially an alkaline diet heavy on raw and cooked veggies and leafy greens that temporarily eliminates wheat, meat, sugar, and dairy. Read this article thoroughly for much more important info!

5. Our Surprising At Home Test Results for Candida Overgrowth & What We'll Do

​Despite being in what most of us considered good to great health, our entire community tested positive for candida overgrowths using the spit test. Therefore, we decided to undertake this experiment and record our results for science in hopes it would benefit others! We originally chose to follow this natural 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine candida cleanse protocol and anti-candida diet for 4 consecutive ON days, and 3 consecutive OFF days for 3 weeks. We chose to do it as a whole community since first every individual felt they would personally, and second it's easier to do such a detox / cleanse with extra moral support and camaraderie. It was already our lifestyle to share meals together, so making a singular appropriate meal at mealtimes for all made more sense than everyone scrounging on their own.  

6. Candida Cleanse: Natural Protocol for Effective Detox & Restored Health

We chose to do 4 consecutive ON days of following the ​100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine candida cleanse protocol while adhering to the anti-candida diet, followed by 3 OFF days where we don't take 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine and ate whatever we wanted for 3 weeks. To take the adult dose of 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine, stack 3 sugar cubes on top of each other and saturate with 1 tsp of 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine, then chew and swallow on an empty stomach. *This is the only intentional sugar consumed on the protocol!* As sugar is a favorite food of candida, it serves as bait laced with poisonous-to-them 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine.

7. Candida Cleanse: Week 1 Results from The Garden of Eden

​After only 4 ON days of following the ​100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine candida cleanse protocol and following the diet then 3 OFF days, every member of our community started trending downward per their daily spit test for candida!

8. Candida Cleanse: Potentially Uncomfortable Side Effects of Detox

​As large amounts of fungus, yeast, parasites, and/or other harmful microoganisms die and release their toxic metabolic byproducts into the human body, potentially uncomfortable side effects are extremely common during cleanses or detoxes. This Herxheimer reaction, AKA die-off, can cause symptoms that lead some people to prematurely abort their full cleanse protocol. We urge one and all to stick with it through TEMPORARY side effects like fatigue, moodiness, increased appetite, headaches, muscle aches, itchiness, or stomach aches. The discomfort doesn't last forever! Stay hydrated, make sure you are having at least one bowel movement a day, and sweat as much as you can to speed up the detoxification and get over the discomfort.

9. What is Your pH and What Does That Mean for Your Health?

​pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. pH less than 7 is acidic, equal to 7 is neutral, and above 7 is alkaline. A myriad of health problems present when the body is too acidic (a condition called "acidosis"). Huge strides can be made towards health and eradicating disease just by correcting the body from an acidic state to a more alkaline environment! We shared this article for the important foundational info it provides as we measured our urine pH throughout the course of our candida cleanse.

10. Candida Cleanse: pH Measurements

​Each individual measured their urine pH first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. Every member of our community saw a trend towards more alkaline urine after only 1 week of the 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine candida cleanse protocol and anti-candida diet! Note that this was a mere 4 ON days followed by 3 days off, yet still every single person saw positive results.

11. Candida Cleanse: Clean Diet Results vs. Symptoms of Die-Off

Side-by-side comparisons of two individual participants in our study that demonstrate the range of experiences over the first week of the candida cleanse. Each person is unique, and the more toxins one has in their body, the more the body will have to expel! 

​12. Candida Cleanse: Forget the Fungus & Take a Walk on the HEALTH Side!

​This article displays some results from week 2 vs. week 1 of our candida cleanse. Our data showed more progress across all individuals!

13. Candida Cleanse: Side Effects for Week 1 vs. Week 2

​This is another side-by-side comparison of the same individuals showing side effects experienced over weeks 1 and 2. While both saw improvements, they were starting from their own unique baseline for health thus had different degrees of die-off symptoms. Our data demonstrates that really the only measure for "improvement" is against one's own self - are you better or worse than when you began?

14. Candida Cleanse: pH Results Week 1 vs. Week 2

​While we expected a more drastic trend towards more alkaline pH across all individuals, our data did not show that. It was a less marked increase in pH (AKA more alkaline), but it was overall more alkaline nonetheless.

15. Candida Cleanse Results: Pooing is Primo 💩

​Smooth, fluid, regular, and open channels of elimination are absolutely vital during any detox / cleanse! If you're not pooing properly, the toxins just sit around and fester or get reabsorbed. Be sure to drink plenty of water and consume enough fiber! This is exactly why it is NOT recommended to fast during this 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine candida cleanse protocol. Note that this supplement can also make your poo smell like pine trees, which might be a surprising side effect. 

16. Successful Insider Secrets for Eradicating Candida Overgrowth

​Here's a recap of our experiment up to this point, with some tips for success and words of encouragement to stay committed to better health.

17. Candida Cleanse: Die-off, Shmie-off!

​As pathogens die and release their poisonous metabolic byproducts into the human system, die-off side effects can potentially be very uncomfortable. Unpleasant symptoms lasted a few days to about a week for some, but after just one week every single person was pretty much over that. 

18. Candida Cleanse Week 3 Results: More Alkaline Urine

The title sums it up - we saw even higher urine pH into week 3. ​Read the article for more lil nuggets of info and knowledge.

19. Candida Cleanse Week 3 Results: Becoming Candida Clear

Every single member of our community felt happier and healthier every single day during our candida cleanse using ​100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine. At the end of 3 weeks, almost half of our community showed "very little candida" per their spit tests, up from only 14% at the beginning of our experiment!

20. Candida Cleanse Week 3: What Are We Really Eating?

​With a photo gallery of some dishes we enjoyed on the anti-candida diet and links to some recipe suggestions from our own mouthgasmic food formulas, this article showcases inspiration for delicious, healthy food to enjoy while following the protocol.

21. Candida Cleanse Week 4: What Are We Really Eating?

​After our original 3 weeks of following the 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine candida cleanse protocol, some members of our community measured higher for candida than they would have liked per the daily spit test. Our results showed excellent progress over a matter of mere days (just 12 ON days over 3 weeks!), so we chose to extend our experiment by another week with even better health well within reach. Here are more results of following the diet on ON days vs. eating whatever we wanted on OFF days.

22. Candida Cleanse Week 5: What Are We Really Eating? 🍒🍗 🍌 🍩 🍇

​We ended up following the protocol for a total of 5 weeks, with 4 consecutive ON days followed by 3 OFF days each week because some members of our community wanted to reduce their candida levels even further. We saw great results every single day, so pushed a little further to achieve our desired results. This article shows more of what we actually ate in week 5 vs. week 1. 

We hope this will inspire you to do additional research and work towards the best possible health for yourself! 

Cheers to your health & happiness!
