Frequently Asked Questions About FiveLac
What
is candida?
Candida
is a dimorphic organism, meaning it can exist in two
shapes and forms simultaneously. One form is a yeast-like
state that is a non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism.
The other is a fungal form that produces very long root-like
structures, called rhizoids, that can penetrate the
mucosa and is invasive.
What
makes candida bad?
Actually,
in its yeast form it is beneficial. We all have this
form of candida in our bodies. The candida population
should be low and indiscernible (no overt symptoms or
cloudy saliva). “Friendly” bacteria and a
healthy immune system prevent this yeast from becoming
an infectious fungus.
It
is when our bodies lose their proper immune protection,
or the intestinal pH is altered unfavorably, that the
organism can change from the yeast form to the fungal
form. When this happens, the now-parasitic fungal form
penetrates the gastrointestinal mucosa and breaks down
the boundary between the intestinal tract and the rest
of the circulation in our bodies. This allows partially
digested dietary proteins to travel into the bloodstream,
where they exert a powerful antigenic (antibody-stimulating)
assault on the immune system.
It
has been unofficially estimated that a startling 80%
of the population may have candidiasis that is out of
control!
What
causes the change from good to bad?
There
are many theories. Most naturopaths concur that the
conversion happens due to some sort of attack on our
immune systems—either prolonged antibiotic use,
taking steroids or oral contraceptives on a regular
basis, or a high sugar diet. It could be a combination
of these. It is also conjectured that candida increases
its numbers during periods of stress and lowered immune
states.
What
are the symptoms of a candida infestation?
Typical
candida symptoms may include jock itch, depression,
dry, itchy, flaky skin, anxiety, recurring irritability
or mood swings, heartburn, indigestion, lethargy, food
and environmental allergies, joint soreness, chest pain,
acne or other skin problems, migraine headaches, recurring
cystitis/vaginal infections, premenstrual tension, and
menstrual problems.
How
does FiveLac help?
As
its name implies, FiveLac contains three forms of spore-forming
lactic acid bacteria. These live microorganisms purge
your intestinal tract of the parasitic, fungal form
of candida. At the same time, FiveLac helps to balance
the pH levels in our bodies.
The
secret behind FiveLac’s effectiveness is the micro-encapsulation
process that gets the candida-fighting live bacteria
safely past the acidic environment in the stomach. These
oxygen-friendly bacteria go to work “dining”
on anaerobic problem organisms that you don’t want.
Everyone
using Oxygen Elements Plus has provided their body with
a head start—you already have created a rich oxygen
environment that FiveLac loves.
How
do I take FiveLac?
The
suggested use is 1 packet per day, right before you
eat a meal. Let it dissolve in your mouth and follow
immediately with 4-6 oz. of water. Then eat. Food acts
as a buffer to assist FiveLac in reaching the small
intestine, where it helps your body rid itself of the
candida parasites.
For
stubborn or elevated candida difficulties, you may want
to use 2 packets daily for 30 days, and then use 1 packet
per day thereafter for maintenance. For more severe
candida infestations, you may want to try 4 or 5 packets
to start. Always be sure to take a fiber product as
well, as outlined in the next question.
Remember
that this organism is extremely resilient and difficult
to rid from your body. It can take time to re-establish
good health. Much patience is required in this process.
What
happens when I take FiveLac?
You
may be one of a small percentage of people who experience
constipation. As the candida organisms are dying off,
they collect in the intestines, and your bowel becomes
impacted. We recommend that you take a fiber product
for the first few days when you start taking FiveLac.
And always drink plenty of water.
If
you are typical, you will experience more frequent bowel
activity. Stool may be loose and/or more voluminous,
as more bowel matter vacates the body.
Will
I need to change my diet?
There
are no dietary restrictions. However, for general health
reasons, use common sense and avoid processed sweets.
Eat your sweets “raw.” Eat a “good diet”
rich in nutritious foods.
What
does FiveLac taste like?
It
is a pleasant, lemon-tasting powder.
How
do I know if I have candida?
You
can try this simple test to see if you have candida:
First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING
in your mouth, get a clear glass. Fill with water and
work up a bit of saliva, then spit it into the glass
of water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for
up to one hour. If you have a problem that FiveLac
can help with, you will see strings (like legs) traveling
down into the water from the saliva floating on the
top, or “cloudy” saliva will sink to the bottom
of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended
in the water. If there are no strings and the saliva
is still floating after at least one hour, you probably
have candida under control. FiveLac would then be used
to maintain good bowel flora and proper pH.
More
information, please!
A
very specialized pharmaceutical company in Japan holds
the proprietary secrets behind this all-natural product,
and Global Health Trax was selected to be the exclusive
distributor on the North American continent. That means
that anyone in America, Canada, or Mexico who wants
FiveLac must come to a GHT Member to buy it!
Everyone
who has participated in our tests is now free of candida
infestation. Dr. Connie Lee, a Ph.D. in nutrition who
practices as a naturopath, has sent us a testimonial
statement regarding FiveLac’s effectiveness, which
may be found in the “Testimonial”
section of this website.
Why
are Oxygen Elements and Active Enzymes taken with FiveLac?
Oxygen
Elements Plus is a patented product that supplies the
body with a steady diet of synergistically combined
free oxygen, hydrogen, full spectrum minerals, amino
acids, and enzymes - all the while cleansing our body's
cells and colon.
Oxygen
Elements Plus contains elements that effectively oxygenate
the cells in our body and facilitate the transport of
oxygen throughout our tissues. It carries the FiveLac
more effectively into our digestive system and throughout
our body.
Candida
(yeast infection) is an anerobic bacterium which can
not survive in an oxygenated environment. Oxygen Elements
Plus increases the oxygen levels in the body making
it harder for the candida and yeast to survive because
they cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment.
Active
Enzymes is a complex combination of full spectrum enzymes
with probiotic benefits necessary for proper digestion
and processing of fats, proteins, carbohydrates and
cellulose.
FiveLac,
with the increased aid of Oxygen Elements Plus helps
rid the body of candida overgrowth. This die off of
candida pathogens accumulates in the intestinal tract.
The enzyme cellulase that is contained in Active Enzymes
helps break down the cell wall of the candida which
is cellulose. Active Enzymes helps rid our bodies of
these die off products and cellulose (the yeast organism
is cellulose based in part), so they don't remain in
our intestinal tracts.
Yes,
FiveLac Candida Defense can work on its own. The addition
of Oxygen Elements Plus and Active Enzymes helps it
work more efficiently.
Directions:
Follow the how to use instructions for FiveLac. Remember,
FiveLac is maximized when taken with food in the stomach
to buffer the stomach acids.
Oxygen
Elements Plus may be added to the water that you drink
with your FiveLac (to potentiate the FiveLac) and
can also be added to your water supply throughout the
day. Be sure to drink plenty of water (half your body
weight in ounces) for cleansing and hydration. Some
individuals may need to consume more fiber as well.
Active
Enzymes should be taken at meal times. A good acidophilus
like Jarro-Dophilus EPS (which we have) may also be
helpful.
Products
