Dr. Bob is mentioned on this web site many times. . He was a MD internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, MD psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years. He said many symptoms such as muscle pain, imbalance of water in the body, fatigue, inability to sleep well, and many other common symptoms that people experience, sometimes can be the result of yeast or fungus.

The following is Dr. Bob's protocol for fungus or yeast (infections):

1. Use vitamin C. 5-6 grams per day in divided doses. Vitamin C helps run the immune system.

2. Use caprylic acid. Dr. Bob said using caprylic acid was the most effective way to kill yeast or fungus in his experience.

3. Use cat's claw tea or supplements. Make sure the tea comes from an herb store since there are many ineffective teas from cat's claw. The cat's claw needs to come from high elevations located in Peru, at least higher than 8000 feet. Cat's claw boosts immunity better than almost anything else, according to Dr. Bob.

4. Use ion-exchanged whey powder concentrate. Whey has been shown in studies to increase immunity tremendously, sometimes as high as 500%! Boosting immunity is vital in fighting fungus and yeast. Additionally, the immune system is built mainly from protein and whey concentrate is a high quality protein that can be used by the immune system.

5. Use probiotics. Probiotics is the process of feeding live bacteria to prevent or treat disease. Dr. Bob advised probiotics, using live bacteria to treat bacteria and bacteria products. He recommended you eat organic, non-fat yogurt that contained L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, and B. bifidum. L. bulgaricus is intended to help the GI tract be more suitable for the survival and growth of L. acidophilus and B. bifidum. L. acidophilus is the main bacteria of the small intestine while I. bifidum is the primary bacteria of the large intestine. All three are important, I acidophilus and B. bifidum to help the small and large intestine and L. bulgaricus, a transient bacteria, to make the other two work better.

6. Use Maxilife multivitamin and mineral. A multi supplies cofactors needed to help run the body. For example, the immune system needs cofactors to go along with the protein supplementation and the stimulation of the immune system by cat's claw. The boost to immunity will require additional cofactors needed in more than normal amounts. Maxilife has doses based on the body being deficient or insufficient and this is what is needed when a person is attempting to increase the body's immunity and fight yeast and fungus.

7. Use pancreatic digestive enzymes. Bad fungus and yeast interfere with digestion. Digestive enzymes sometimes can prevent many allergic and immune problems involving digestion. Often the digestive enzymes can break down food until it is non-allergenic.

8. Use 5-15 grams of multi-fiber daily. Multi-fiber helps the bowels stay healthy by supplying the body with different fibers that provide bulk and roughage for stools. Also fiber is an important food source for your friendly flora.

9. Dr. Bob said suspect and try to do without certain high potential allergenic foods. The main ones, according to Dr. Bob are wheat, sugar and milk.

10. Keep the area of fungus dry. Dr. Bob said many rashes occur in jungles, but not in deserts. So keep fungus dry. Fungus thrives in moisture. Talcum powder is effective in keeping moist skin dry. Do not use talcum powder with aluminum added. Dr. Bob advised, aluminum is not healthy to put on your body.

11. Avoid constipation. Try to have 2 or more bowel movements each day. Constipation leads to food rotting in the intestines. This can result in proliferation of yeast and fungus. Read the article on this web site, "Constipation," if you are constipated.


Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval. Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.

WARNING:  DO NOT STOP ANY TREATMENT OR MEDICATION YOU CURRENTLY USE.  CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING THE USE OF SUPPLEMENTS.
