1.
WHAT RESULTS SHOULD I EXPECT USING THE HEALTHY-SKIN PROGRAM FOR YEAST?
WE EXPECT RESULTS BUT THE 2-PART CLEANSING PROCESS IS A SLOW ONE!
Part-1: Initial Cleansing
During the initial Cleansing, it takes 3 to 7 months OR approximately 1 month for every year of the pets' age, and possibly longer for those
pets with a history of medication usage like antibiotics, steroids and antihistamines. However, puppies still undergoing vaccination protocols
have been known to take longer times to process through cleansing due to the natural weaknesses of their just developing immune system.
The cleansing is assumed to be done when the primary symptoms have cleared up.
Part-2: The Follow-Up Maintenance
This part requires an additional 6 months to a year or more to finish clearing the problematic toxins and subsequent re-balancing the GI tract.

NOTE: Heat is a huge factor! The heat of summer or a simple household furnace used in winter can cause the toxins to rise to
the surface.

The symptoms, including itchiness and redness of the skin, often appear to worsen during the first 2-3 months of the program; this may
begin within 1-3 weeks of program start. This Herxheimer effect can produce flu-like symptoms, nausea, loose stools and diarrhea, or even
lethargy problems in beginning stages. So do your best to support the pets needs.

Make sure to keep an eye on your pets general health and body temperature. Make every effort to PREVENT THEM FROM CHEWING AND
SCRATCHING them from chewing themselves to bleeding if possible; refer to the main instructions for suggestions on how to ease itching
(Listerine or baking-soda paste). DO NOT AVOID treatment by your Vet for secondary bacterial infections that can result from a pet scratching
or chewing themselves.
WHAT IS A YEAST INFECTION (SYI)?
NOTE: Presented here is but a brief overview of the Systemic Yeast condition. For a more "in depth" understanding

of this condition and how it comes about, please review an article at GreatDaneLady.com - called: Yeast Mini-Course

Before plunging into Before plunging into our nutritional program for yeast problems, you should have a basic
understanding of the subject. Simply put, there are about 500 different known microorganisms residing in the
digestive tract. Some are beneficial and some are not. These bacterial 'colonies' form a protective 'lining' for intestinal
tissue - making up what is known as the "Flora", which is also necessary to maintain proper digestion and to help
build immunities for good health.

In a healthy pet (or person), the large intestine hosts a balance of beneficial bacteria, including Lactobacillus acidophilus and
Lactobacillus bifidus, along with potentially harmful Candida (fungus and pathogen). Candida is usually kept "in check" by the
Lactobacillus bacteria, partially by the production of lactic acid. Candida actually provides growth factors for Lactobacillus. All these (and
others) exist in a natural balance (making up the Flora), until something happens to upset that balance.

WHEN THE pH BALANCE IS UPSET...
(Example indications in pets may include: hot spots, rashes under the arms, uncontrollable itching, reoccurring ear or urinary infections,
repeated staph infections, skin blackening, acne problems, etc.)
Although there is no "single factor" responsible for turning this naturally occurring organism into an agent of disease, the candidal species is
notorious for being an "opportunistic" pathogen: "Candida incite disease in hosts whose immune system (local or systemic) has been
impaired, damaged, or is innately dysfunctional". Underlying causes that weaken the immune system and therefore make your pet more
susceptible to yeast problems include - cancer, hypothyroidism, and chronic use of antibiotics or cortisone.

Candida has a tenacious ability to adhere to mucosal surfaces. This is a necessary step for the initiation of candidiasis, and adherence depends
on the immune status of the host. Candida secretes enzymes which destroy membrane integrity, leading to dysfunction. Candida also
secretes toxins which activate the immune system, overload the liver, and then deposit themselves in body tissues. Once within
body tissues, these toxins will work their way to skin surfaces, as the skin is one of the primary pathways the body has for disposal of toxins.
Unfortunately, the presence of toxins within skin or ear tissues is what triggers the immune system to respond - with inflammation, which will
(in turn) result in itching (much like a mosquito bite?). This 'response' is what the vet will see and then be led down the path to assuming
"allergies" are at fault, as toxins within the skin cannot be readily detected.
There are 3 types of YEAST infections:
Superficial (most common) - characterized by inflammation of tissue linings, i.e. skin, GI tract, pharynx, upper and lower respiratory
tract etc.;
Locally invasive - i.e. pneumonia, cystitis, esophagitis, the most common being ulcerations of the intestinal, respiratory or genito-
urinary tract;
Systemic - an invasive infection, characterized by lesions of the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, lung, brain and other organs.
There are several things to consider WITH candidiasis:
The inflammatory response must be treated. 1.
Lactobacillus count needs to be increased in order to help re-balance the GI tract and keep Candida in check. 2.
The immune system needs strengthening, which decreases adherence ability. 3.
Antibiotics, steroids, and other immune-suppressing drugs, along with simple carbohydrate foods, should be avoided. 4.
Digestive secretions should be increased. 5.
Nutrient deficiencies should be reversed; 6.
Liver function should be optimized to increase ability to filter toxins. 7.
The friendly bacteria that are attached to the inner intestinal walls are benign and do not harm us. They dont make
harmful chemicals or provoke immune responses and inflammation. These microorganisms actually protect us from
the adherence of disease causing bacteria, like Salmonella and Shigella, which cause diarrhea.

When antibiotics are given for an infection, they not only kill bad bacteria that contribute to the infection, but can also
damage or strip away beneficial (benign) colonies of bacteria in a normally healthy gut. Candida, as a 'fungus', is
unaffected by the antibiotics and readily moves-in and takes over bare and unprotected tissues as the good guys die
off. As the yeast (Candida) invades new territory, it entrenches itself, and will continue its relentless advance as long
as it remains unopposed.
We all know the importance of antibiotics for a serious infection. However, the unfortunate side-effect of antibiotics is that they can also
break-down or damage the good guy bacteria colonies, resulting in Gastro-Intestinal imbalance. Sadly, antibiotics are often part of many of
the popular pet foods being sold today.

The disruption if the intestinal balance is where the troubles begin. With the walls unprotected by the beneficial Flora, conditions are ripe for
the inflammatory Leaky Gut Syndrome and then Systemic Yeast. The Candida yeast goes through cycles of overgrowth, where toxins are
released throughout the system causing any number of various symptoms (see symptoms list). Candida makes a variety of toxic chemicals,
which are destructive to 'friendly' bacteria. The making of these chemicals prevents bacteria from coming back and enables the yeast to stay
after antibiotics are given. These chemicals include toxic alcohol, acetone and the nerve poison hydrogen sulfide. These chemicals are very
sedating, slow down the brain and may cause chronic fatigue.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
Candida symptoms are often diagnosed as ALLERGIES and commonly seen as rashes and skin outbreaks in the
paws, face/muzzle, ears, under arms, underbelly or genital areas. Other symptoms include recurring ear
infections, eye infections, and bladder or urinary tract infections.
In yet other ways, the yeast toxins can cause fatigue, lethargy, immobility, joint pain and discomfort. The
animals will experience severe itching, which leads to endless biting, chewing and hair loss. Symptoms may
include skin problems like blackening, dry flaky skin or a greasy grit on the skin. As the condition worsens over
time, a bad yeasty smell or odor is very likely.

Yeast Candida is very evasive and resistant of the bodys immune system. The immune system will generate
inflammation as a defensive wall against the yeast. Normally this painful inflammation resolves an infection, but
Candida resists the immune system, partly by changing its appearance and evading the immune system. As the
immune cells circulate and find yeast in other places, such as the skin, they instigate inflammation at those areas.
Repeatedly, the the immune system has difficulty clearing the Candida, and the inflammation persists, leading to
chronic inflammation on the skin. There are many names for such skin inflammation, on both humans and dogs,
including eczema and psoriasis. In the intestinal tract, such persistent inflammation can develop into Crohns disease
and ulcerative colitis.

Some of these animals may exhibit pimple-like dermatitis where the skin may be wet with pus
that progresses through self-chewing or scratching resulting in pyoderma or Seborrhea, a Dry
type - similar to heavy dandruff; or, maybe a Greasy type - yellow brown greasy scales that
adhere to hair shafts, accompanied by rancid odor.

Another example would be that of a Lick granuloma (acral pruritic dermatitis): Red, shiny skin
ulcer caused by continuous licking at wrist or ankle or foot. This is usually seen to occur in
large, short-coated breeds of dogs.

1 - NZYMES Ox-E-Drops (2.2 oz.)
1 - NZYMES Fortified BacPak Plus (200 Gr.)
1 - NZYMES Tincture of Black-Leaf (2.2 oz.)
NOTE: For those Customers unlucky enough to have multiple Pets suffering with these conditions, we have made available two
Super-Sized Kits that take advantage of our most 'economical' purchase methods and provide enough product to handle 3 or
more dogs, while saving as much as possible. Based on the Small & Large Kits above, here are Super Kit Small and Super Kit
Large.
Part 1: Use NZYMES Treats or Granules Internally Each Day!
USE EITHER - Antioxidant Treats or Sprouted Granules, DAILY
Each day your pet will need to take our NZYMES Antioxidant Treats or Sprouted Granules. They provide vital
live food dietary enzymes, which are completely missing in all cooked and processed pet foods. These key enzymes
provide the mechanisms to help the body produce powerful antioxidant enzymes which play a vital role by helping
the body to flush out the dying toxins, as well as free radicals (at the cellular level). The enzyme increase supports
healthy immune functions and can help promote faster recovery. (enhances Skin and Coat health too).
NOTE FOLLOW THE HEALTHY-SKIN PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS:
After the Start Up Week you will double the use of either of these products until the symptoms clear or for at least 60 Days. After all the
symptoms have cleared you can return to regular daily 'maintenance' usage shown on the bottles.
PART 2A - Internal Use: OX-E-Drops & Blackleaf
USE NZYMES Ox-E-Drops (Internally Twice Daily)
NZYMES Ox-E-Drops is a natural oxidizing substance is a very important part of the Healthy-Skin Program. It can act
as a powerful additional tool. INTERNALLY it promotes the removal of dangerous toxins. Used TOPICALLY as a 2%
Topical Solution it helps promote healthy recovery of the damaged skin areas and fosters healthy skin.
Guideline: Add 1 drop of the concentrate for each 20 lbs. body-weight twice daily - Small pets: Use a minimum 2 drops
twice daily.
INTERNAL USE: OX-E-DROPS (Twice daily)
The internal usage recommendation is "1 drop per 20 pounds" of body weight given twice daily, but the MINIMUM to use is
2-drops for even the smallest pets. But, these drops must always be DILUTED; using a teaspoon of water, add the correct number of
drops and then mix that with something edible, OR deliver directly to mouth - using a small syringe or dropper. It is a good practice to add a
few drops to the water dish to protect against other bacteria; this can also help freshen breath when drinking occurs. (Mix with a
teaspoon or tablespoon of water and add to food)
NOTE: Ox-E-Drops are highly alkaline (13 pH), so they must be diluted with water for internal and topical use.
INTERNAL USE: TINCTURE OF BLACKLEAF (Twice daily)
NZYMES Tincture of BlackLeaf should be added to the pets food (twice daily) it provides the extra needed help with the
cleansing process. This generally shortens the time it takes to resolve the overall problems.
Therefore, combined usage of the Black-Leaf and Ox-E-Drops products provides maximum power for combating the problem,
both internally and topically.
USING BLACK-LEAF INTERNALLY (DOUBLE-UP)
Double the amount shown in the directions on the bottle for a minimum of 60 days or until the symptoms have cleared. (Call
if you are unsure).
(WARNING: Keep the concentrated Ox-E Drops and the Tincture of Blackleaf product away from children and
pets)
#PART 2B - Topical Use: OX-E-Drops & Blackleaf
TOPICAL USE: 2% Ox-E TOPICAL (3-4 Times daily)
PREPARING 2% OX-E TOPICAL SOLUTION
Mix 1 teaspoon of the Ox-E-Drops Concentrate with 1 cup (8 oz.) of distilled or purified water. Note:
Store this 2% mixture away from direct sunlight.
Using OX-E Topical 2% Solution for the Pets Skin
Using a spray bottle, work the 2% Ox-E Topical solution with your fingers down to the skin for deeper
penetration. For tender areas, saturate a cotton ball, and gently dab or wipe on the 2% Ox-E Topical solution.
NOTE: Apply the 2% solution to the affected areas a minimum of 3 to 4 times daily.
Using OX-E Topical 2% Solution for the Pets Ears
Start by saturating a cotton ball and wipe the ear canal thoroughly. Afterward wipe the ear canal dry with a soft tissue or cotton. For
more severe ear problems do this 2-3 times daily for the first 4-5 days; then once or twice weekly thereafter to maintain.
Using OX-E Topical 2% Solution for the Pets Eyes
Option I: Using an eyedropper, put 1-2 drops in each eye twice a day. Do this daily for one week, after that, use as needed.
Option II: Saturate a clean cotton ball with the 2% OX-E Topical solution. Gently wipe around the eyes, allowing a little of the
solution into the eyes. Use a clean cotton ball to wipe each eye.
TOPICAL USE: TINCTURE OF BLACKLEAF (Twice daily)
The combined usage of the Black-Leaf and Ox-E-Drops products provides maximum power for combating the problem, both
internally and topically.
USING BLACK-LEAF TOPICALLY - Mix the Black-Leaf concentrate with distilled water (1 part Black-Leaf to 3 parts
water and apply mixture to the affected area).
Black-Leaf Product Information Page
PART 3 - Re-Establish the Good Bacteria
USE NZYMES Bac~Pak Plus
This NZYMES BacPak Plus is a powerful blend of digestive enzymes and Probiotics (good guy microorganisms). Under
normal conditions, these are essential to digestion - for the breakdown and then uptake of nutrients to the body. When
combating an SYI, BacPak Plus completes the 3rd crucial step in the process. While the Ox-E-Drops, Black-Leaf, and
NZYMES Treats or Granules are battling and flushing out Candida yeast toxins, the 4th product of the kit, BacPak Plus,
gets busy delivering literally billions of 'friendly' bacteria to the system - to help repair the gut (and reverse damage that
started the whole problem). It is critical to reestablish these good bacteria colonies so that the body can gain back the lost
territory given up to Candida yeast.
USING BACPAK PLUS
We recommend to WAIT until beginning of 4 Week before beginning to use the NZYMES BacPak Plus with the
other products in the Healthy-Skin Kit. At that point follow the usage directions on the bottle and add the BacPak Plus to your
pets foods twice daily.
We have found that waiting helps reduce the severity of the cleansing symptoms often seen at about 3 weeks into the program.
A 1-gram measuring scoop is included inside the bottle.
BacPak Plus Product Information Page
PART 4 - Feed the Correct Foods; (Low Glycemic)
This FOURTH STEP in our program is among the most important - Changing the food! Keep this in mind: if you
continue to feed inappropriate foods or treats - that contribute to growth of the Candida, the net effect will be much like -
"trying to wash your car while someone sprays mud on it! You'll likely get very frustrated".
Here are some considerations for choosing a good pet food when battling YEAST:
The recommendations center on foods considered Super Premium or Holistic. These foods are 'Meat-based' and
made using high quality, Human-grade ingredients; they are also devoid of harsh chemicals and additives, as well as 'by
products'. These premium 'more natural' foods are also more likely to benefit from a quality 'vitamins and minerals' package
designed to be more thoroughly absorbed by your pet's body. Such foods will NOT be found in supermarkets, large corporate
pet stores, or Discount chains. You can usually only find such quality pet foods in local smaller pet stores within your
community. Use the listing below (ordered by preference) to help find such a store within reasonable distance from you.
WHY DO I NEED TO CHANGE FOOD?
Although antibiotics are commonly cited as the cause of SYIs, they are not the only contributor. By far, the vast majority of
pet foods are comprised of poor quality ingredients, preservatives, and are completely devoid of living materials (needed for the good guys);
but, they are usually chock-full of starches, grains and carbohydrates. These 'high glycemic' elements (in converting to sugar too quickly) will
seriously contribute to daily growth of the Candida fungus. Many pet foods even contain remnants of antibiotics. And, most are grain-based
(corn or wheat), not meat-based.

Reiterating, the big problem with the majority of grain-based foods is the starch and sugars; these are the items which Candida yeast will
feed and thrive on, while the Nzymes program is trying to destroy the yeast. These food sources will continue to choke the GI tract and stifle
the building of immunities by the good bacteria flora. As a result the pets immune system gets weaker and weaker. Its a terrible cycle!

WHAT DOES MEAL MEAN?
After water has been extracted from meat, it is now in a dry form and can then be referred to using meal. As such, this is now a highly
concentrated form of meat, and typically contains 11 times more meat protein (by weight) than wet meat. When a brand claims real, fresh,
de-boned or whole beef or chicken as the first ingredient, it usually is NOT! Once in its dry, undiluted form, such meat should truly be listed
as maybe the 6th or 7th ingredient in the list. So, even though chicken, beef, or lamb may be listed as the first ingredient, the food is still
truly grain based since the meat is not listed as MEAL. The loophole here is that under pet food manufacturing guidelines, the manufacturer
is allowed to weigh the contents before they are dehydrated, where the water-weight is removed.

SHOULDN'T I FEED ONE OF THE NEW 'GRAIN-FREE' DIETS?

These Foods are NOT Recommended, Because...

The Pitch: 'Grain-Free' pet foods have been becoming more and more popular over the last few years. It is the newest "niche" in the
industry, but you should recognize it for what it is - the latest sales-boosting technique. Pet food companies are clamoring to produce their
own versions of grain-free diets in order to 'cash in' on the current wave of popularity. Many times these foods are touted as the answer to
pet "allergies", stating that symptoms arise from the grains in the foods. They declare that pets were not meant to have grains as part of their
diets; so, "Go Grain-Free and get back to nature". HOWEVER, since all pet foods must have a carbohydrate source, these foods incorporate
non-grain carbs like Potato, Sweet Potato, or Tapioca - which will work against you.

The Problem: Part of this Pitch is true. The vast majority of pet foods sold in this and other countries are grain based. This means that the
primary ingredient is grain, usually a cheap, abundant, low-quality grade of corn; or, often times Wheat Gluten Meal. But, both of these meat
substitutes are very starchy; and, when combined with harsh preservatives, additives, by-products, etc, become a big reason why the
Yeast issue is such a prevalent problem in pets these days. These foods consist of about 70-80% grain and are not ideal for pets under any
circumstances.

Where We Differ: We know - from 10 years of non-stop experience in this area - that most "allergies" suffered by pets are not really
allergies at all, but rather stem from the internal overgrowth of yeast in the GI Tract. Yeast is fed by Sugar and Starches, whether that source
is derived from grains or non-grains. Simple starches like Potato, Sweet Potato, and Tapioca convert to sugar more rapidly and aggravate a
Yeast issue. More complex carbohydrate sources like Brown Rice, Barley and Oatmeal, albeit grains, convert to sugar more slowly, and are an
ideal carb source for an Anti-Yeast diet.

Our Pledge: You'll note that none of the foods that we have recommended for yeast are of the 'Grain-free' variety. We have yet to find a
customer, who has resolved a yeast issue using one of these foods. Yet we have had 10's of thousands happily resolve their pets yeast
condition using the foods we recommend. If there was a grain-free food that would really work, we would gladly recommend it.

RECOMMENDED FOODS TO USE WITH YEAST PROBLEMS
Below is a list of food products, by company, that meet the 'OK to use' requirement
making them approved for use with Systemic Yeast Infections or Leaky Gut Syndrome.

OTHER DIET PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTIFY EVERYONE THAT YOU PET IS ON A RESTRICTED DIET
Make sure that ALL family members, neighbors, utility company employees and Postal workers are aware that your pet is on a
RESTRICTED DIET and that it is NOT OK to give treats or any of the problem foods.
USE FILTERED WATER
If possible use filtered water for your pet. Chlorine used in city water does contribute to the breakdown of the GI tracts natural flora
making it more difficult to resolve yeast issues. Therefore we suggest purchasing a system for you tap that filters chlorine and other
harmful agents out of the pets water.
#SHAMPOO TWICE WEEKLY
GIVE WEEKLY BATHS - Return to Top
Give frequent baths (TWICE A WEEK) using a recommended shampoo to clear the skin of dead and dying
materials and help reduce itching and odor. The toughest part of the Program is to try to reduce discomfort for your
suffering pet whenever and however possible. That is why the information here is quite important to you.
We understand that bathing a pet twice weekly can be very difficult. To help reduce your own physical and mental
stress, we suggest using an elevated pet bath that can help ease the difficulty of the bathing task. Click here to

It has been suggested that - for the best relief of the itching - you should allow the medicated shampoo suds to
remain on the pet's body for 10-15 minutes after bathing before you do the FINAL RINSE with Baking Soda and
water. This has shown to be the most effective way to help soothe the itching - for as much as 1 to 3 days.

OTHER TOPICAL PRODUCTS

LISTERINE (Original/Gold) - Use full strength and apply liberally with a sponge or spray bottle on itchy and
skin-rash areas. As the product contains alcohol, to prevent sting on open lesions or the more severe (raw) areas,
you may need to dispense a small amount to a saucer and allow a few minutes of evaporation before using. This
method has been reported to give noticeable relief from the itchiness by a majority of those having tried it. Many
customers have reported that their pets were able to sleep through the night after use.

EQYSS PRODUCTS
Mega-Tek Coat Rebuilder - This product is like a conditioner. Just squeeze out a good amount and rub it onto the areas that are
rashy and itchy and let it dry.
Use the Micro-Tek Spray - This also has seen results at times.
#Stop them from Chewing and Scratching
YOU CANNOT ALLOW THE PET TO CONTINUE CHEWING AND SCRATCHING!
Get an Soft Elizabethan collar and put it around the dog or cat's neck to keep them from chewing at the itchy inflamed areas. The
hard plastic elizabethan collars can cause stress for pets and owners. Dogs and cats become depressed when wearing a
hard-plastic cone. They bang into walls and are generally disoriented. Pets can carry out normal activity with the soft collar.
Comfy Cone - Provides a cone that can be folded when needed to let dogs & cats eat, etc.
Has elastic loops to thread the pets own collar through to keep the Comfy Collar secure in place and keeping it from being
pulled off or from falling off.
Allows your pet to eat and drink in comfort, or collar can be folded back when eating and drinking or when checking wounds
and irritations.
Velcro closures and tabs which adjust to many sizes and opens so you do not have to put pet's head through Comfy Collar.
Comfy Cone and Trimline's can be purchased online at ArcataPet.com Each time the pets chews or
scratches, the itch worsens and gets more intense. Sometimes using a cool cloth or cold-pak can ease the
problems temporarily.
For smaller pets try Dinky Dawg.
Option 2: PREPARING A BAKING SODA RINSE and TOPICAL SPRAY
Using a final rinse of BAKING SODA AND WATER for the pets body after shampooing
can be very effective to reduce the overall itchiness and smell. Mix two (2-4) teaspoons
of BAKING SODA per gallon of water; make sure to mix it so it completely dissolves.
USING BAKING SODA IN A SPRAY BOTTLE
Mix one (1-2) heaping teaspoons of BAKING SODA with 8 oz. of water. Use this with a spray bottle or cotton ball for the itchy
rashes areas. Reports show that it is quite helpful with the overall itchiness, skin problems and inflammation. Soaking a cloth with
this baking soda solution and leaving it on the more severely affected areas can be helpful to soothe the skin and reduce
inflammation.
MAKING A TOPICAL PASTE WITH BAKING SODA
Mix one (1) teaspoons of BAKING SODA with a little water and add 8-10 drops of the Tincture of BlackLeaf. Rub the paste
directly into the itchy rashes areas. Reports state that the pets will have 4 to 12 hours of relief from the itchiness in that area.
YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT. This Program Takes Time!
YEAST CLEANSING IS A SLOW PROCESS! The time for overall VISIBLE improvement averages 3 to 7 months. This timing (in most cases)
should clear the observable symptoms; HOWEVER, at this point - it can easily take an equal amount of time to complete the INTERNAL
healing process, and result in a well pet! Completing this is what we refer to as 'Sealing the Cavity'; in other words, beneficial bacteria
colonies have re-gained control of intestinal tissues and most Yeast has been removed from these tissues. Medical research shows that you
may never clear all the yeast from the system; this, along with relapses we see, accounts for our recommendation for continuing with our
maintenance program.

Also, the cleansing process will surely take longer for pets that have been suffering longer - possibly a month or more for each year the
illness has affected the pet. Then, you can expect increased time where there is a history of medication usage - including the use of
antibiotics, steroids and antihistamines. Keep in mind that vaccinations, being one of the causative factors for such illness, can also
increase the timing, OR actually regress progress. So, deferring any vaccination schedules is a good idea where possible.

NOTE: Heat (SUMMER and furnace's in WINTER) is the most significant activator as it pushes the yeast toxins to the surface.

The symptoms, including itchiness and inflammation, often appear to worsen during the initial 2 months of the program, usually
beginning at about 3-4 weeks. This Herxheimer effect of the body detoxifying often lasts for an extended period (2-3 months). The process of
cleansing Candida can produce flu-like symptoms, nausea, loose stools and diarrhea in the beginning and the pet may appear lethargic.
Make sure to keep an eye on your pets general health and temperature and certainly please don't allow them to chew themselves to bleeding
if possible. DONT AVOID treatment by your Vet for secondary bacterial infections that are a result of pet scratching or chewing themselves
