My friend heard some facts about his anti candida supplement, bentonite, which said it also flushes out minerals and important stuff like that that our bodies need along with flushing out the dead yeast.
Just hearing the possibility that bentonite can flush minerals out is stopping him from taking it again.
He wants to know if it is true, and if my answer is yes, he would like to know other detoxifying supplements that do not flush minerals from our bodies.
Maybe like charcoal or something like that, he said.
In fact, that is a truth for bentonite flushing minerals and stuffs from your body.
That is why you should take it well away from food, perhaps the last thing at night.
For alternative, you may try milk thistle.
When my sister was undergoing chemotherapy, her oncologist told her of this herbal supplement.
I personally don't feel comfortable taking it.
I am a very allergic person to things outside and I read that if you are allergic to ragweed, then you shouldn't take milk thistle.
I really like milk thistle, though.
I used to be on it, but I was always suffering from allergy/respiratory problems, so I never knew if milk thistle was contributing to the problem or not.
That is why I'm out to find an alternative supplement to detox.
If the milk thistle is an allergy problem for you, too, you can go to a Chinese herbalist/doctor and ask for the herbs to detoxify your liver and keep your system cleansing itself.
My sister also did this while on chemotherapy and the Chinese doctors take a long time to explain how their herbs work and really take the time to examine you via their methods.
But, if you are going this way, you would have to find a good Chinese doctor that you are comfortable with.
