Candida / Yeast

Q.  Doesn't the releasing occurring with bentonite and psyllium wipe away the probiotics so that they are ineffective?

A.  Yes. That is why those with yeast problems need to take lots of probiotics while cleansing, especially those who have yeast infections such as Candida albicans.  Yeast have pretty good roots and while some will be washed away, many can hang on, multiplying again and again within hours creating their unpleasant byproducts.  These byproducts can cause bloating, weakness, and other discomfort.  Taking a friendly bacteria will help maintain good bacteria as opposed to the bad bacteria and help prevent the yeast from dominating.  It is theorized that as long as we continue taking large amounts of probiotics during a cleanse, the yeast cannot spread, but instead, will gradually be pulled out.

For those who do not have yeast infections, it is still important to keep taking probiotics
while cleansing.  Some have learned this the hard way, so please follow this guideline.  You will feel better while  cleansing.  Some people may have a yeast infection and not be aware of it, because it has not yet become acute. 

The wiping out of friendly bacteria and the taking of lots of fruit or carrot juice feeds yeast and allows  them to spread.  Taking bacteria during a cleanse helps to keep the yeast from taking over.  Another reason we take probiotics during a cleanse is that once the Master phase is completed, many people become ravishingly hungry. As long as there is plenty of bulk in the gut, we tend to not get so hungry, and Probiotics helps to provide bulk. 

After a cleanse it is common for some people to pig out on anything and everything they can find.  After they were stuffed to the gills, they were still hungry.  Remember, 40% of the stool is, or should be, bacteria.  Taking the bacteria during a cleanse prevents this dangerous to your health pig-out episode.  It is well worth the cost of the probiotics.
