Glad I could be of help.

I did not use the drnatura products for candida, just an all over

thorough body cleanse. I detox and juice fast regularly, so I figured

I was fairly clean inside. I was surprised when I purged more stuff

out of my system than I ever had before with other products.

My sister had candida and she felt a lot better after I put her on the

program. Her once horrible allergies are now almost completely gone,

her energy went through the roof, and all the sweet cravings

disappeared. She also lost about 15 pounds (no doubt from the toxic

sludge coming out of her colon).

I beat back my candida infection a few years ago, after trying what

felt like every product out there (I didn't know about drnatura back

then). I only had limited success until I added coconut oil to my

diet. The caprylic acid in coconuts is deadly to yeast.

Probiotics (beneficial bacteria) are also incredibly important in

killing off yeast, especially acidophilus. The drnatura program

includes a probiotics formula too.

Good luck to you!

It is important to note that adequate levels of progesterone are

needed to become pregnant and maintain the pregnancy.

If you were taking natural progesterone while trying to become

pregnant, it is essential to keep taking it. Stopping progesterone at

the onset of a pregnancy can trigger menstruation and result in an

abortion.

There is some research out there that shows taking natural

progesterone throughout the pregnancy results in larger, calmer,

smarter babies. This is bio identical progesterone, not the synthetic

forms out there (progestins).

You should find a doctor that is familiar with natural progesterone

supplementation. He/She will be able to address your individual needs.

Also please note that I am NOT a doctor. I'm just someone with a

strong science background and a passionate interest in holistic healing.
