Default please help.....die off reaction, how much longer?

Hi there, I know everyone is different but I feel like the fatigue, headaches, nausea has been going on for ever.

I started using CCNO about 5 weeks ago and i still feel blah! I thought it last about 2 weeks. Should i just forget the CCNO or keep going. I feel like crying

I don't have any energy to excersise or even do housework. It's really getting me down.

Any suggestions?

What is CCNO?
The most severe die-off for me lasted about 2 weeks but I still have some mild reactions. I've been on the diet for about 3 months but I haven't been too strict lately. I think it depends on how advanced your candida was and how agressively you are attacking it.
Right now I'm battling a cold that I've caught from my kids so it sets me back a bit: sinus headache and fatigue. It's not too bad, though. I only take coconut oil and proboitics combined with the diet for now (plus the vitamins). Maybe I could use some garlic, too....

And maybe some oregano oil?

CCNO is coconut oil

Oregano oil....do you take it straight or in capsules, how much do you take etc.

Also in answer to my question could it be something other than die off reaction as I have been feeling like this for almost 5 weeks.

oregano oil is usually sold mixed with olive or another oil. It's too strong straight. Such oregano oil is sold either liquid or in capsules.

3 drops to 1 dropper full 3-4 times a day.
150 mg capsules, 3-4 capsules 3-4 times a day.

It could be something other than die off if it's lasted 5 weeks. The reaction would usually taper off by then but that's guaging the effect by oregano oil not CCO.

I also take coconut oil. How much do you take? The other day I think I had too much before going to bed and I woke up in the middle of the night with a racing heart and sick as a dog. But after I had a BM it went away. By the way I didn't come down with the cold, thanks to my oils. I feel great.
I think you are supposed to rotate the different antifungals on a weekly basis. Garlic, oil of oregano, olive leaf, coconut oil etc. so the yeast doesn't get resistant to whatever you are taking. I don't know.
Garlic works for me when I need to get rid of an infection. Zuleiika recommends oil of oregano as well as other people on this forum. Maybe your CCNO is not doing the trick and you could try OO.

Ok well i finally got some OoO. I got it as pure essential oil and so what now? I couldn't find it as capsules. Do I mix 1 drop with some edible oil and take it that way?

Yes, 1 or 2 drops, or more depending on your tolerance, with a teaspoon of oil. It can be mixed with coconut oil and taken that way or put in a dropper bottle with olive or grapeseed oil.
