I think it's really hard to compare like-for-like when we are all doing different things with our diet. The first time I tried this protocol I did a really intensive regime with the oregano oil of taking it 5 times a day for a number of weeks and probiotics at night just before bed. At the same time I went on an elemental diet to get all of my nutrition in a liquid form that was very easy for my body to digest. This gave my bowel a rest.
There is a whole booklet on elemental diets that Jinny Patel Thompson wrote. You can either buy her products which are really expensive or she gives you all of the ingredients in this book so that you can source them yourself and make them up, which is what I chose to do. The difficulty is that it is incredibly difficult to stay on this diet because food is such a huge pleasure in our lives and the willpower needed to not eat anything is quite intense.
My subsequent efforts have not been nearly as effective because I find it very mentally challenging to put myself back on a complete elemental diet. So I opt for a half food half elemental diet. Unfortunately I still suspect this seeds my candida Overgrowth to some extent. If I get really bad I will then have the motivation to go back onto the full elemental diet. Being really sick can be very motivating in that way
