Candida Cleanse: Week 1 Results - Clean Diet Results vs Symptoms of Die off

Updated: Mar 4, 2019


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!

As we continue our journey to full health, we are still compiling and comparing the data to help us learn and grown from our process of clearing candida here in The Garden of Eden.


Today, we would like to share some of the more interesting points about the diet we were adhering to on the 4 days on 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine vs the 3 days we are off each week, and how that correlates to any die off symptoms we experienced.


We decided to compare just a few of our Eden Knights since it is such a large amount of data for everyone. We share results for everyone on all data points once our cleanse is complete.




Here is a partial list of foods allowed on the cleanse:

  • Fruit Smoothie (Any Variety)

  • Green Juice (Alone or in something else)

  • Coffee

  • Tea

  • Raw Fruits

  • Cooked Fruits

  • Raw Veggies

  • Cooked Veggies

  • Eggs

  • Quinoa

  • Potatoes

  • Rice

  • Wild Plants/Herbs

The anti-candida diet generally corresponds to an alkaline diet:




Here are the foods to avoid overall during the candida cleanse (but most people here still consume at least some of them on our 3 days off turpentine):


  • Meat

  • Dairy

  • Wheat

  • Processed Foods (anything from a package)

  • Non fruit sugars

  • Dried Fruits

  • Nuts

  • Oils

  • Avocado

  • Seeds

  • Beans

  • Alcohol

  • Soda, Energy Drinks, & Other carbonated beverages


We compared the reported diets of 2 of our Eden Knights. This is the breakdown of Eden Knight 1 and Eden Knight 2 and which foods they consumed for the entire first week. It is easy to see that the majority of the diet was the same. 




Just a little background for you about these two people:


Eden Knight 1:

  • Really good overall health

  • Great mental posture

  • 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 their diet

  • Age is mid 30's

  • Started out with a lower urine pH test in the low 6.0 range

Eden Knight 2:

  • Good overall health

  • Carries a large amount of responsibility in the community

  • Strong emotional stability

  • Has some past emotional trauma they are resolving

  • Physically fit

  • Regularly practices yoga

  • Has a very clean diet overall with minimal amounts of animal products

  • Age is early 30's

  • This person consistently had higher pH readings for almost 7.0 range since the start of the cleanse

  • Has more stored toxins in the body from mercury fillings


Now what is really interesting is that at first glance you would think both these people would probably have minimal die off symptoms; however, the results were very different indeed. Just like above, Eden Knight 1 is in red and Eden Knight 2 is in orange.




Eden Knight 2 clearly had many more die off symptoms than Eden Knight 1. There is a lot of speculation that could come from these findings, but each person's medical history, specifically past illness and toxic exposure, plays a large role in what exactly is dying off during the cleanse. Obviously the more toxins you have in your body, the more your body will have to expel. That makes it hard to gauge what kind of reaction you will have when cleansing. 


If Eden Knight 2 had a worse diet and did not take the active steps towards health already, then her symptoms likely would have been much more uncomfortable.


Keep following our progress to get more insight into how to minimize your effects when clearing candida, and just general knowledge about an overall way to improve health!


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



Cheers to your health & happiness!
