I am buying papaya seed oil, pumpkin seed oil and pomegranate arils (or pomegranates), and kombucha. Any more I should add to the list? I have a nasty Candida flare up and I know the Big Pharma recommended prescription is not going to help with this. Already tried it before without success.

Fluconazole 150mg qd x 6-14 days
Medistatin (Nystatin) is supposedly safer for your liver.
Nystantin w food , 2x day
I second this, in addition to the natural remedies mentioned. Or, alternately, Menbendazole.
Are you saying Mebendazole can be used instead of Fluconazole to treat Candida?
If so, suppose I take Mebendazole to treat this, what would the daily dose be? I have the 100 mg ones, so I should just take it once a day after a fatty meal or what?
62 species of candida, of which approx 5 are medically relavent.
Mebendazole is 1° anti-parasititic, not antifungal and i cant comment on it's efficacy. Although it's shown promise in cryptococcal fungal infection.
Drug should be tailored to specific species, but C. albicans is most common.
To have a systemic candida infection points to a weaken immune system most of the time.
Drugs are classified according to their initially-approved purpose, but they can be used for multiple purposes, especially if they work in multiple ways in the body, because the subsequent indications may utilize different actions.
I am not a doctor - but it appears that a typical dosing schedule is 100mg twice per day for at least 3 days. It does not appear to matter if taken with or without food.
If it were me, I would do the 3 day routine every other week for 6 weeks and evaluate progress.
