Yeast Free Living

What is it?
Paracan is a blend of several natural ingredients known for their internal cleansing properties.  It is used to cleanse the body of harmful organisms and in doing so seeks to promote a well functioning digestive system.  Active ingredients commonly found in paracan blends include but are not limited to: olive leaf, senna leaf, pumpkin seed, black walnut hulls, usnea, grapefruit (citrus) seed extract, gentian, pau d’arco, milk thistle fruit, wormwood, echinacea, barberry, garlic, thyme, cloves and chamomile.  Varying combinations and amounts of ingredients will differ significantly from product to product.   

How can it Help Candidiasis?
Many of the active ingredients in paracan have antifungal properties and help to combat Candida albicans overgrowth.  The ingredients that I have come across that have anti-fungal properties include garlic, olive leaf, citrus seed extract and pau d’arco.  In addition to its’ antifungal properties paracan also helps to eliminate parasitic organisms within the body.  When parasites are present in the body they present a barrier to effectively treating candida albicans overgrowth. 

Are There any Additional Considerations?
Some individuals may experience nausea, weakness and fatigue during the cleansing process.  This process is also known as die-off or the Herxheimer reaction.  Symptoms may get worse before they get better.  This is a very common occurrence when detoxifying the body whether it be from an overgrowth of yeast, toxic metals or parasites.  Customer testimonials tend to lean in favor of the liquid form over the tablet form in terms of effectiveness. 

Where and how can it be Purchased?
As of November 7, 2009 I have never seen a paracan blend in any drugstore or natural health food store.  It is however readily available online in liquid and tablet forms. 

Have I used this supplement?
I have not used a paracan.  I am taking a wide variety of other herbal antifungal products with good results and have not felt the need to try paracan yet.  There are a lot of customer testimonials online that may offer you some insight.  Remember to discuss the use of paracan and any other herbal supplements that you are considering taking with your healthcare provider.
