THREELAC
Despite the label instructions, we recommend that everyone start with only one packet of ThreeLac a day. It will give your body a chance to get rid of a lot of dead yeast in the first 4-6 weeks. The most important piece of advice we can give you is to take a good fiber product daily and drink lots of water to keep things moving. Even if you think you're having good bowel movements, it is very important to scrape the intestines out on a daily basis. You will feel much better, I promise you.
After an average of about 6 weeks, you will work up to two packets a day and if you experience die-off symptoms, please know that they do not last for long at all. If they last for too long or are too uncomfortable, you are taking too much ThreeLac and will want to reduce your dosage back down for another couple of weeks before going back up. You will know when to increase your dosage as you reach a "plateau." At this point you will not feel yourself going one way or the other, good or bad. In other words, some of your symptoms have disappeared but you are stalled in the area of continuing improvement. This is precisely when you should increase your dosage – not sooner and not later. If you wait too long, your symptoms may begin to worsen. If you increase your dosage too soon, you may experience some uncomfortable die-off symptoms such as headache or muscle weakness. Just listen to your body. After about another 4-6 weeks, you will work up to three packets a day – spread them evenly throughout the day. Alyson only had to go up to three packets to get her candida under control. I had to go all the way up to five packets over a period of about 5 months before slowly going back down in my dosage. It all depends on how deeply entrenched your candida overgrowth is and other factors which vary from person to person, such as genetic makeup. You will know for yourself when you have reached your optimum dose. Stay on it for at least 6-8 weeks before slowly working your dosage back down, one packet at a time. Don’t jump around with the dosage either (5 packets one day, 2 packets the next day, etc), go up and back down one packet at a time.
The vast majority of people report improved bowel function, but a small number may experience constipation, or be already constipated. Again, we cannot emphasize enough how important it is to keep your bowels moving. Even if you think you're having good bowel movements, dead yeast and toxins tend to stick to the sides of the intestines and the fiber helps to scrape the sides on a daily basis. The die-off symptoms are caused by the dead yeast and toxins sitting in the bowels. If you are suffering a blockage, try Aloe Vera Juice (at your health food store); it hydrates the intestines and works well for most people. If that doesn’t clean you out, the next step is to take 3 tablespoons of plain mineral oil for 3 nights in a row. It acts as a lubricant and helps most people. On the morning of the fourth day, take a product called Phospho-Soda. It is made by Fleet and is recommended by surgeons prior to surgery precisely for the purpose of cleaning out the bowels. Do not plan to go anywhere that day. Flax seed oil is also very good for constipation, as well as just being good for you in general. After you’ve cleaned your bowels out, start on a daily regimen of either Konsyl or Metamucil (for diabetics), which is very finely ground psyllium husks and dissolves almost completely in water. The psyllium fibers at the health food store are usually too bulky and can actually constipate you. Just take the recommended dose every day, either 30-45 minutes prior to a meal or 3 hours after your meal. For people who cannot take psyllium husks, or for children, another good product is BeneFiber by Novartis. It is totally clear, tasteless and odorless and can be taken without regard to food intake. Children also like Fiber Choice, which are sugar-free chewable tablets.
If you ordered Oxygen Elements Plus, we do not recommend that you go over the 21 drops per day dosage. If you take too much and suffer with body pains, please cut way back. If you are particularly acidic, please start with only 3 drops and work yourself up one drop at a time until you reach a tolerable dose. If you notice a skin rash developing or if you get a hoarse throat, stop the drops for about a week before you begin taking them again. About 1% of our customers report this reaction.
Children age two and up (approximately), can start on one packet of ThreeLac. Ages six months to two years start on ½ packet, and for infants the dose is ¼ teaspoon (there are approximately ¾ tsp. in each packet). Wrap the open packet back up securely – a paper clip should do the trick. The dosage for Oxygen Elements Plus is 3 drops to start for all ages.
About 10% of people get better very quickly, within weeks. Another 10% take 6-9 months to get their candida completely under control, but the vast majority we have found achieve this in about 3-5 months. Every person is different, so please be patient with the process. When you feel you are ready to graduate back down in your dosage, go just as slowly (one packet at a time) as you did in the first place. If your symptoms start coming back, you’re going down too soon. Again, this is a slow and steady process. Do not refrigerate ThreeLac and do not store it near the stove or in direct sunlight. It should be kept at room temperature. Refrigerating it will cause it to go dormant, temperatures above 130F will kill the live bacteria.
Most people suffering with a candida fungal infection have a deficiency of both Magnesium and B-12. Magnesium has also been helpful for some who suffer with migraines. I took 2 – 400mg capsules of Magnesium Asporotate 3 times a day. I also gave myself B-12 shots (ordered from www.canadapharmacy.com to avoid the cost of a doctor’s visit, and got the syringes at the pharmacy), administered in the hip at a dose of 3cc every other day for two weeks, then twice a week for two more weeks and then as needed. B-12 in the capsule form are simply not nearly as effective. I ordered the 30ml bottle containing 1000ug/ml. If you don’t want to do the shots, the second best alternative is Sublingual B-12, which is available at your health food store. Start with 3,000-4,000mcg per day for 6 – 8 weeks, then back down to 2,000-3,000mcg per day for as long as needed. For people with depression, start with 5,000mcg per day. Another good product is FibroCare which contains the Magnesium as well as Malic Acid. You can order it from the company, To Your Health: www.e-tyh.com (1-800-801-1406). We also have a distributor, Diane Brown, who cultivates and sells her own brand of Nettle tea, a good source of iron which helps with mood swings and also gives an energy boost. Her email address is: Nettlelady@aol.com. Many people who suffer with loss of libido need extra zinc which helps greatly. Also, colloidal silver, grapefruit seed extract (GSE), oil of oregano, mega-dose garlic supplements and Caprylic Acid can kill the live bacteria in ThreeLac.
If you are taking colloidal silver, stop taking it while you are on ThreeLac. It does nothing to control the yeast and can also turn your teeth permanently black. If you suffer with bloating and gas, take digestive enzymes. GHT has a good one called "Active Enzymes", but your local health food store will have something comparable. If you have skin or nail fungus, or notice red spots appearing on the skin, a very good product we have found is Cumarindine, which is available in 3.5 ounce containers from Marshall Lightfoot in Dallas, Tx. His contact information is 214-348-3685 or foot-11@msn.com.
If you are already on a restrictive diet, you may remain on it for another 6 weeks or so. However, when you do start feeling much improved, please start reintroducing restricted foods such as potatoes and rice and whole fruit and even bread (whole grain) back into your diet. If you are not on a restrictive diet, do not go on one, but do avoid refined sugars completely and lower your carbohydrate intake. From one of our diabetic customers is the following:
"There are two non-chemical sugar substitutes that are acceptable for diabetics--they are Splenda, made from dextrose, maltodextrin, and sucralose; and DiabetiSweet, made of isomalt and Acesulfame-K. ; The latter is an
excellent sugar substitution for diabetics--used "measure for measure." Although it is very expensive I order it through my pharmacist."The primary
objective of our website is to help candida sufferers rid
themselves of this disease. Should you wish to reorder or refer others,
please direct them to our website:

Please save it for future reference as Google charges us 50 cents every time
someone searches for us through them, which costs hundred of dollars a day.
If you should reorder by phone or fax, please let them know you found
ThreeLac through Mark Cobb.
Processing and shipping in the US takes anywhere from 7-10 business days (1 ½ - 2 weeks). Our retail distributors (listed on the website) can ship U.S. orders right away if you need the products immediately, or while you’re waiting for your online order to arrive from the company.
Canadian
orders are shipped every Monday to their distribution center in Canada to
ease customs clearance and then shipped on to you using local postal rates.
This can take up to three weeks, sometimes four, unless you request Express

want to interrupt the treatment by running out.
We welcome you to contact us with any questions or comments you may have.

Cleansing and Die-Off Reactions:
The majority
of a Candida yeast overgrowth is within the digestive system, especially
within the transverse colon and around the ileo cecal valve connecting the
small intestine to the large intestine. When you destroy a yeast cell, the
toxic internal yeast fluids are released into the digestive chamber and
immediately absorbed into the blood stream.
As the ThreeLac begins to work, thousands upon thousands of yeast cells will
begin dying every day. This may create the "Herxheimer Die-off
Reaction" -- the situation where yeast poisons are created faster than the
immune system or eliminative channels can remove them from thhe blood.
If this happens, you may feel temporary mild discomforts such as headache,
fatigue, muscle aches, joint or chest pain, inflammation of the throat,
sinuses, lungs, mucus congestion, colon discomforts, skin rashes,
constipation, gas, dizziness, or depression, etc.
These symptoms are short-lived in the majority of cases and will go away
soon enough as you continue on with the program.
There may be times when a reduction in quantity of product may be in order
to slow the die-off reaction and decrease the rate of toxins created.
Die-off does indicate that the program is working and is a necessary
byproduct of the healing process, but too much can be uncomfortable.
One of the reasons it takes so long to remove a yeast infection is that the
death of one yeast cell is food for another yeast cell, which encourages
those yeast colonies still living. They are being fed and supported by the
internal fluids of dead cells. Until the majority of the yeast colonies are
destroyed, the die-off reactions will never completely go away.
Please do not shy away from the program or be discouraged if die-off
symptoms occur. They will disappear as soon as sufficient digestive Candida
has been removed. It may take several weeks or several months depending on
individual severity, but it will eventually end if you remain steadfast on
the ThreeLac program.
