CanDefence

I have had psoriasis for years, mostly on my torso and elbows, with an odd small patch here and there on my legs and face. I have tried many different 'anti-psoriasis' diets, believing the problem stems from within. I have been using topical steroids and Vit D lotions, which until about 18 months ago, had managed to keep the symptoms in check, apart from an occasional flare. Determined to get rid of this last long term bout of Psoriasis, my research led me to the link with (over)consumption of sugar/carbs and an unhealthy or 'leaky' gut. I then looked at systemic yeast infection as a cause and this brought me here and to this product. After two weeks on holiday, with above average consumption of alcohol and sweet foods, my psoriasis was much worse. I ordered 3 packs of CanDefence upon my return, in the latest attempt to combat it it from a different angle, since I had noticed how much worse it had become with excess sugar in my diet over those two weeks. I had also developed indigestion and heartburn. I took 4 capsules a day, as instructed and am now one week in. I will continue this dose as instructed on this page's info for another week and then reduce to 3 per day. What can I say? The results have been miraculous. OK, this is not pleasant, but I want to give an honest review. For the first 3 days on Candefence, my stomach was unsettled and I had regular, foul smelling wind. I continued to eat normally, still having a small amount of sugar, but cutting down on carbs such as bread, pasta and starchy veg. I noticed on day 2, that the small patch of psoriasis on my face had almost disappeared. From day 4, my stomach has been completely normal and he patches of psoriasis around my torso have faded so much that they are 75% healed from how they were on day 1.My elbows and legs have healed about 50%. From abut day 4 on, my skin has taken on a more oily or waxy appearance and feel, where before it had been dry and papery. My heartburn and indigestion has completely disappeared and my stomach is noticeably less bloated. I am now at day 7 and am thrilled by the results. It may be to do with reducing carbs and processed food in my diet, but I have tried this before with no changes in my skin. Candefence has been the only different thing this time and it seems to be helping not just my gut, but my overall wellbeing and definitely my skin. I can't wait to see what another week brings. I will reduce the dosage after that, perhaps steadily down to 2 or even one capsule a day, to maintain a balance in my system. I can't pretend to know what it's doing, but in a week, it has given me an improvement in my psoriasis which I haven't seen in years. So happy and I feel much better in my overall health and vitality.

Yeast problems... down... (no fungal issues in fold of skin in upper legs during or after exercise). Sugar cravings... down... (no cravings for coke or winegums). Psoriasis... down... (none in fold of skin around nose and no skinflakes inside beard). Stomach bloating... down... (and I can now dare to eat bread). Acid indigestion and reflux... down... (and able to use just half of recommended doctors dose of antacid Omeprazole... If I eat something that causes, for me, acid indigestion - such as bread and crisps and cake, I feel an 'every so often' under-the-breath mini burp, thus venting myself and stopping the wind and acid build up). Folliculitis... down... (after a night out I'd awake with huge under-the-flesh spot-bumps in the beard area, from my early 20s onwards... I couldn't work out what they were... If I found a usually enlarged pus surrounded hair follicle in amongst the gunk, I'd try pulling it out if it was just appearing above the skin, and pressing gently a geyser of gunk used to leap out, and within a day the spot would clear up... If I couldn't get the follicle out it would grow and grow and go hard into a cyst... This was treated repeatedly with... Very Strong Antibiotics, penicillin based, ie yeast based). Energy... up... (took me a few days but I feel great after forcing a run and a gym session). 1 taken 3 times a day, morning noon and night, just before eating. If I take these with just a cup of coffee etc. I feel sick - so I always take with food... It's going to be small sensible meals from now on. And funnily enough taking these and having a skinful... the hangovers are much worse - so I'm going to be cutting right back on the booze. Update... Years ago, I dropped a floor standing speaker on my big toe... Ever since, I've suffered with an ingrowing toenail that's often a little 'soft' with fungal infection, often treated with fungicide creams. This morning I've noticed the toenail is 'normal'. These pills are bang on, I just wish I found out about this years ago, because how I got to use them is a fluke... A pharmacist round the corner refused to sell me Canestan tablets, so I bought these instead. I am amazed. I am sure other people have been in my situation, or don't know they are. I took oxytetracycline (penicillin, a yeast based antibiotic) in my midteens to combat acne. (I believe this may have affected the bacteria in my gut). After this, acid indigestion suddenly appeared. After this, psoriasis suddenly appeared. After this, over the years, bloating appeared. That bloating, I now believe (I tried to exercise it away) caused diastasis recti (two halves of the tummy muscles separated). After this Folliculitis Barbae appeared. And after less than a week, during which I have eaten so much rubbish and drank so much alcohol (Christmas Week), the difference is remarkable. I can't wait for the new year, to be off the booze, to eat sensibly and see the difference. The upshot of the above is.... Doctors looked at my acne - "take these antibiotics", then "take this isotretinoin" (which is a whole different story)... Doctors diagnosed psoriasis - "use this cream / solution / have these steroids injected" ... Doctors found acid indigestion and barretes oesophagus - "take Omeprazole" ... Doctors diagnosed fungal infections - "use this cream / take these pills" ... Folliculitis - "take these antibiotics". Always treating the symptoms, never properly searching for and treating the root cause.

I took Candefence for 3 months, and although it didn't get rid of my candida fully, it has reduced symptoms a little bit. That was in addition to serious dietary changes and additional exercise in my daily life. What it definitely does for me is significantly reduce cravings for sugar, junk food and gluten. I took a break from it for 2 months and now I am going to take it again to manage my unhealthy food cravings without expecting much in terms of candida. I still think it is a good product and I would recommend it for food cravings and high level management of candida (we all know fully getting rid of candida in the body requires much more than taking supplements :) )

I am soo grateful to this product! I was experiencing INTENSE itching on my torso, it was taking over my life! burning endless itching. The doctors gave been steroid creams, which I didn't really want to use longterm. After some research, I discovered that it could be caused by internal fungal overgrowth (after taking some spore based probiotics). These tablets worked wonders, within a week the itch reduced after 3 weeks it was almost not there. I am beyond happy with the results! initially it gave me little bit of tummy ache (no thing major). What a wonderful nature product!

I’ve bought various supplements on here. This, doesn’t seem to work, maybe it does and maybe I don’t notice but I’ve bought other brands and they’ve worked much better.

Ok

This is a highly recommended product. I have been taking it for 2 weeks now, three capsules per day, and it has worked wonders. I am slim but suffer from water retention and often feel sluggish and bloated. CanDefence has helped a lot with this (lost one clothes size due to decreased water retention), and also helped with stress eating and sugar cravings. At the beginning it upset a little my stomach (say, day 3 to 6) but not that much - just a bit in the mornings - and it was absolutely worth it once my body got used to it. I also feel more awake and focused, and generally lighter and therefore happier. The capsules are easy to swallow and have a nice herbal scent. Customer service is also very good: I didn't need to contact them but I received nice emails to remind me that they are there should I have questions or doubts. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and will buy again. UPDATE: just bought this for the third time, it literally is a life changer! And its effects improve over time. Very, very, very happy.

Oh my, where to start. I was very much looking forward to this product, the reviews were amazing and once it arrived, I was in love with the most amazing oregano/basil scent that reminded me of pesto. However... A few hours after I took the first two tablets I ended up having the worst diarrhea in my life. Okay, two might be too much for me, let's try one... Only that didn't work either. Diarrhea was just the beginning and the problems quickly turned into sharp pain. I persevered for a week thinking that I just need to adjust to a new supplement and trying to convince myself that getting rid of yeast is worth it. It wasn't worth it. The end result was that this product has left me with excruciating abdominal pain and I was totally unable to work for more than a week. I felt like my life is falling apart, feeling constantly in pain and nauseated, losing income while I couldn't work. I suspect the culprit might have been caprylic acid. Whatever the cause, it wasn't something I needed on top of recurrent yeast infections. I returned the product and I appreciate that a return and refund were possible after using a portion of the contents, but I still have to leave a 1 star review since this product lowered the quality of my life so much. I was desperate after this experience, but I got a leaflet in my local pharmacy saying that there are only two strains of bacteria needed for a targeted probiotic that can help women. These two strains are L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri. Neither of those is found in this product and I find that unbelievable for something advertised as targeted. I needed a long time to recover from the pain this product has caused me. I have since found a product that contains nothing but a mixture of aforementioned two strains and it saved me, I'm now free of yeast infections and my digestion is normal. A product like that is most likely the only thing you will need if you are a woman suffering from recurrent yeast infection, so spare yourself from trying your luck with caprylic acid and buy a real targeted product right away. I'm terribly sorry this product didn't work for me as I was feeling confident about it, but it is what it is.
