Question
I am a 26 year old white female 5'8" 135#.  I run anywhere from 2-3 miles a day, some times every other day, but wake up tired.  I seem to always have digestive problems, i.e. irritable bowel, acid reflux  and cramping before my period.  I was on accutane for acne when I was 17 and again at 25 - acne still has not cleared up. I have been on several antibiotics for acne.  I suffer from allergies and also occasional panic anxiety. It's all very frustrating because I can't see how I can feel this way when I am so healthy to work out - I feel great when working out.  After reading an article on the internet and taking the self-tests, I am wondering if I have candida.  I purchased a product from the health food store called Candi-Gone by Renew Life. I would like to give it a try.  In the meantime, I was told about Oil of Oregano helping these kinds of conditions.  Can both products be taken at the same time? I have had a physical and my blood tests came out perfect, heart stress test was fine as well as sonogram of the heart.  I am tired of the doctors telling me there is nothing wrong when in fact I do have these problems.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Judy,
I would begin by working with your blood type and doing the blood type diet with no gluten in your food choices.
I would work with an enzyme to break down foods.
My choice is Proactazyme with that for the irritable bowel I would choose Intestinal Soothe & Build.
With this I would work with Probiotic 11 + Yeast Fungal Detox for the candida. These are my two favorite candida product.
With the products you have you need a probiotic and I would work with one or the other. Doing to many may promote too quick a die off and while not bad may made you feel like you have a virus because the body must deal with the dye off.
You will never get rid of the candida until you address adrenal issues which promotes the panic attacks.

I would work with
Mineral Chi tonic and Nervous Fatigue formula then switch to Adrenal Support for a few months.
