Horopito is a New Zealand shrub that has been shown to be more effective against candida than many other fungicides, it contains a compound called polygodial. I took the recommended dose of 1 tablet after food twice a day. The brand is HealtPost’s own BioBalance ‘Yeast Balance’.

I found that my main reaction to it was my stomach became sore and the pain across my back returned. It is possible that this back pain is due to a leaky gut. There is a caution on the website that people who are sensitive to peppers may not be able to tolerate it, I perhaps needed to increase the dose to get another die-off, but I wasn’t keen to. I am still having to work fulltime while I am doing these treatments, so I do need to fit them into my life.

I was not feeling at all well, I probably was having die-off but at a lower level than previously. I felt very agitated.
The constipation was much reduced.

My HealthPost order arrived, I started taking Bentonite with the Psyllium to try and drag toxins out of me. Bentonite is a clay that can absorb toxins in the digestive tract, Psyllium behaves like an internal broom, they work well together. I mix up 1 tsp Psyllium into a large glass of warm water, I then stir in 1 Dsp of Bentonite liquid and swallow it down. It is not difficult to eat, it is important to have it an hour away from food, I have one first thing am and last thing pm. I try to have another during the day.

I also started taking a Milk Wood liver tonic to help support my liver during these difficult times.

I wasn’t convinced by the Horopito cure.
