Candida does not sound good

I started the GSE (Grapefruit seed extract, the liquid) about 1 week ago.  I started it light but gradually increased it as the week went on.  On the forums that I frequently visit, I read about candida and strict diets.  I avoided it, hoping that my malasma was not one of those cases.  The Candida diet is very strict, it much like the Atkins diet.  Meat and veggies.  No fruits, no dairy, no carbs, no sugar, no caffiene...that means no Diet Coke!!!!! 

The GSE is another story.  I was suggested to take 20 drops of the liquid, 5 times a day in water on an empty stomach and do not eat for 1 hour following.  The Grapefruit seed extract is very bitter and very acidic.  So for the past week I have been taking it with water and an Altoid (for the bitterness) but it was so difficult.  I also wouldhave a sore throat 2 hours after drinking the stuff.  Finally, I found on the forum that they have empty gelatin capsules to drip the liquid into and take that way.  It's important to take it in liquid form, because it is more potent.  GSE is a Candida buster, and there is a period in the treatment that you began to feel really awful.  For the last two days I have had diarreha, headaches, stomach cramps and acne breakouts.  They call this the "die-off" stage,  this is when the fungus begans to die and I guess wants to take you down with it. 

We'll see how this goes... I really hope it works!

Here we go again?

Update:  I continue to do more and more research...shall we say OCD or obsessed?  I went back for another IPL and began taking Melacor about 1 month ago.  Just this week, I added apple cider vinager blot and grapfruitseed extract or GSE.  I am hoping something will work, for the love of God!  Some moments I think it has lightened with the ACV but then the light changes and I want to cry again. I changed my sunscreen from Neutrogena Oxybenzone (chemical) 100+ to a more natural Aveeno Baby with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, since I heard the chemical one is bad.  I have not gone back to Obaji skin lightening cream since I heard the FDAs in other countries banned hydroquinone because it has shown to cause cancer.  But I will admit, I went on eharmony lately and if I actually go on a date the hydroquinone is coming back!!!!

I don't know what else to do...I'm at a complete loss. 


I need to add more to the "cures" list:

Apple Cider Vinegar
GSE
L-glutamine
