. . . suffering from more than few of the following complaints:
You are certainly not alone. More than fifty percent of the entire population is hosting colonies of Candida albicans. Sixty percent of those who suffer from yeast overgrowth are women, twenty percent are men, and twenty percent are children. Dr. C. Orion Truss, M.D., studied the issue and reports in his book, The Missing Diagnosis, "From my experiences of the past twenty-one years, this organism, Candida yeast, living in everyone, is responsible for a variety of symptoms masquerading under a number of different diagnoses when it invades and persists in the tissue." How Does Candida Yeast Infestation Occur? Adult humans have 3 to 4 pounds of beneficial microbes, numbering about 70 trillion individual organisms, living in the digestive system. Candida yeast is one of the many microbes that are present in every one of us. It produces vitamins, such as the B complex, within the body. Candida lives in the small intestine where it competes with trillions of other intestinal microbes that inhabit the digestive tract. When people are healthy, the internal terrain in the stomach and small intestine and the overwhelming numbers of other beneficial bacteria help keep yeast in check. When the internal terrain of the body and/or the balance between the other bacterium that normally feed on the Candida yeast is altered, an overgrowth of yeast in the intestinal tract develops rapidly - because conditions have suddenly become more favorable to their growth. The opportunistic yeast population will grow significantly - producing a yeast infection, a fungal parasite or candida (mold) - the contributing factor to a wide variety of unhealthy side effects and complaints. Why does this happen? Many of the things people eat, drink or take and certain health-related conditions can create an environment, inside the body, that encourages the overgrowth of Candida yeast. The possibilities are:
Candida decomposes cell membranes, so its presence, in large numbers, is a sign that your immune system is fighting, with all its might, a losing battle to keep yeast under control. This all out war weakens the immune system will wreak havoc on your overall health. During a long-term infestation, yeast changes into its fungal form, developing roots that implant themselves in the intestinal wall or other mucosal linings such as those in: the lungs, nasal passage, sinus, ears and organs. These roots enable the toxic by-products of fermentation and other harmful material generated by the fungus to be absorbed, which can result in an immunological reaction. This, in turn, can develop into a yeast syndrome affecting all of the body's systems. A host of health challenges may be linked to candida yeast overgrowth:

Those who are considering an individualized approach to
become healthy, adding natural
supplements to fill the gap in your diet between what you are eating and what
you should be consuming to become more healthy may be helpful:
Colloidal silver* is a well-known antimicrobial effective in killing bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and worms. It works by supplying, and altering, yeast with oxygen. | |
| |
| Aloe Vera* has been used for thousands of years for its many potent antifungal properties. | |
| |
| Plant tannins* are found in a number of plants (black walnut, for example) as well as in certain fungus-resistant tree barks and resins. Tannins have demonstrated a powerful antifungal action in numerous studies, and are available in various forms for treatment of intestinal yeast overgrowth. | |

Other Suggestions:
Epsom salts baths to assist in detoxification, lots of pure water to help flush out toxins, consuming extra fiber, colon cleansing to expedite the removal of toxic waste from the body (see Step 4, below), rest to expedite healing.
Step 2: Feed Yourself Well - Starve Unwanted Yeast
Sugar, tropical fruit, fruit juices (in moderation due to sugar content), Milk and milk products, White flour products (including bread), Grains – corn, barley, millet, quick oats, quick rice, wheat, starchy vegetables that grow underground (except onions and garlic), beans, parsnips, peas, potatoes, squashes, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, and turnips. Food Suggestions – What Else Can I Eat? For a few weeks, focus your eating habits on vegetables that grow above the ground, nuts and seeds, whole grains, eggs, poultry, fish, cold-pressed oils (flaxseed, olive, sesame, and sunflower), lime, lemon, and two servings of fresh apples and/or pears per day. Since breakfast is your most important meal, the perfect breakfast is an essential component of your efforts to deal with Candida. While you may not enjoy the effects of limiting certain foods forever, the hope is that by eliminating the favorite foods of yeast from your diet for three or four weeks, your symptoms will decrease, you may shed a few pounds and might have narrowed down the underlying causes your Candida overgrowth. And, so you know there is light at the end of the tunnel, here are some delicious suggestions for the big question: "What for dinner?" that will feed your body not the yeast. Step 3: Cleanse Your Colon – Restore the Balance of Intestinal Flora Some Candida sufferers experience a die-off or Herxheimer reaction as a result of antifungal treatment. The symptoms may include headaches, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, and/or worsening of the symptoms already being experienced. This die-off reaction may be caused by the rapid destruction of yeast, which can overwhelm the body with Candida cells and their toxins. If waste is not eliminated rapidly during your yeast overgrowth detoxification regimen, your colon will simply re-absorb all the toxins accumulating from dead or dying yeast cells. A colon cleanse will help expedite the removal of toxic waste from your body. This is especially important while treating a yeast overgrowth, as cell die-off can contribute additional wastes to be processed by the body. By cleansing your colon, fewer toxins will get re-absorbed into your bloodstream from the colon, easing the workload for your other major cleansing organs during this time of added bodily stress. Probiotics - "the friendly microbes* Yeasts in the colon deplete nutrients and ferment foods which often leads to gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort, and flatulence. Though there are numerous types of friendly bacteria strains, Lactobacillus acidophilus is the probiotic primarily recommended to restore the balance of flora to the gut. By re-populating the colon with healthy bacteria, you will help to minimize many of the intestinal and digestive symptoms of yeast overgrowth. Lactobacillus acidophilus helps to prevent yeast in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and mouth. It can also help prevent and treat food allergies by decreasing the production of the antibodies, which are produced by the body as protection against foods it believes are allergens. *Nupro BeneFlora® is a synergestic nutraceutical formula to help rebuild the balance of intestinal microbes. Step 4: Other Support - Multi-Vitamins, Minerals and Digestive Enzymes Because yeast overgrowth depletes the nutrients in your body, it is necessary to incorporate a easily absorbed, high quality, wide-spectrum general supplement containing herbs, vitamins and minerals along with a strong digestive support supplement into your yeast overgrowth regimen. Other specific nutritional support may be helpful:
It is important remain disciplined while not expecting overnight miracles. Eventually your body will respond. Most people report that they experience significant improvement after making these various other changes. The best part of dealing directly with yeast overgrowth is that when symptoms diminish, many people report – in addition to the disappearance of their complaints – that their overall health has improved dramatically, beyond what they ever imagined to be possible. |
