We followed a protocol using 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine to safely, effectively, gently, and relatively quickly eradicate candida overgrowth, and we want to share our success! *The same protocol can be used to get rid of other parasites.
When our community began our Candida Cleanse here at The Garden of Eden,
our initial plan was to follow an anti-candida diet and 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine protocol for just three weeks.
However, after that three week period, some (but not all!) members of our community still found small amounts of candida in their spit tests. We decided to extend the protocol for another week for those people who felt they could benefit from it.
Despite some positive test results after just 3 weeks, every single person experienced tangible improvements every single day!
We want to show how greatly die off symptoms can be reduced just from week 1 to week 2. This is the frequency of symptoms throughout our whole community:

We experienced more occurrences of side effects during the first week vs. the second week. With the exceptions of muscle aches, diarrhea, and increased appetite on the days off the cleanse, everything else trended downward.
As your body detoxes and gets closer to balanced gut & overall health, uncomfortable side effects of cleansing decrease and eventually disappear.
We have seen first hand during this cleanse that someone who is much healthier overall has drastically lower side effects compared to someone very toxic.
Let's compare Eden Knights 1 & 10 to demonstrate! Here is a little background information before you see the difference in side effects of detox:
Eden Knight 1 -
- Really good overall health
- Great mental stature
- Carries a large amount of responsibility in the community
- Strong emotional stability
- Physically fit
- Does not exercise regularly
- The last few years has not been too overly concerned with what is consumed in this person's diet
- Age is mid 30's
- This person started out with a lower urine pH test in the low 6.0 range
Eden Knight 10 -
- Rather poor overall health
- Large amounts of mental trauma over the last 10+ years
- Has very little responsibility in the community
- Occasional bouts of strong feelings like sadness, possible issues with PTSD
- Has gained strides in physical fitness since coming to the GOE but overall not very physically fit
- Does not exercise regularly
- Diet has been very bad for years. Diet has been much better while doing cleanse, but feels a strong urge for sugars on off days.
- Age is mid 40's
- pH started out in the low 6.0 range at the beginning of cleanse
- Large amounts of mercury toxicity
- Daily smoker
Here is a comparison of the side effects they experienced during weeks one and two:
It is easy to see the difference in cleansing experience for these two people! They have some major differences in overall health; that can be creating significantly different side effects for Eden Knight 10.
Neither one is "right", nor is either one "wrong". We are merely demonstrating the range of detox experiences an individual might have based on their current to their desired state of full spectrum, thriving health. Every body is different, and countless variables contribute to the overall outcome!
We encourage everyone to live their happiest, healthiest life possible. As we continue gathering, processing, and analyzing data from our experiment, we will continue to share it so that more may benefit from our experience! We will soon be sharing our experiment's data from week 3.
We hope this will inspire you to do additional research and work towards the best possible health for yourself!
Cheers to your health and happiness!
