Candida albicans
And
Yeast Infection (Candidiasis)

Candida albicans is a huge problem for many, many people. - The following offers straight forward information to get right to the issue.

I lived with Candida Albicans for over 30 years and did not know it – I was fatigued all the time; drinking coffee and eating chocolate to stay perky so no one would know how awful I felt.

Candida albicans is an infection caused by an over abundance of yeast that lives inside the human body. Our bodies are equipped with friendly bacteria and a healthy immune system function which keeps it from spreading throughout the body….

….UNTIL…

…the immune system becomes comprised and the friendly bacteria are destroyed.

How Does This Happen?

For many people, myself included, the breakdown of the immune system and the reduction in friendly bacteria often start with the overuse of antibiotics - as children, teenagers and into adulthood. Remember (antiobiotics are made from fungi) – combined with THE SADD (Standard American Dead Diet) i.e. sodas, white flour, white sugar, white rice, alcohol, fast food, microwaved, processed food and the like – and over the years, the candida albicans, which feeds off of these things grows out of control.

We have found that many people who are tired and have low energy, Chronic Fatigue Symptoms, fibromyalgia, cancer and other chronic or serious health challenges have candidiasis (yeast infection). Often, as in my case, the candidiasis goes systemic (breaks through the intestional lining into the bloodstream), and travels throughout the body compromising the function of many organs, creating numerous symptoms and is often the root cause of mysterious illnesses, such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, where you just feel energy-less and tired all the time.

When my blood was looked at under a microscope, the candida had spread to my lungs, liver and pancreas, with many infected blood cells. This is not as uncommon as people may think.

How Can We Eliminate the Candida Albicans Overgrowth?

Since Candida albicans was the underlying cause of nearly all of my symptoms, I focused on detoxification, products to specifically remove the candida from the body, and vitamin/mineral supplementation to build my immune system and nourish my cells and I drastically changed what I ate.

It was 6 months before I began to feel better.

MMS - Miracle Mineral Solution This is the number one peice of information you will want to read first. It is not the only thing to do, but it is the least expensive detoxification product to cleanse the body of parasites, viruses, bacteria, candida, and other pathogens that are weakening your immune system. You may only be able to take small amounts of MMS, however along with other products it can really speed up the candida cleansing. MMS - More info>>

**********

1) You must be diligent in your regime to eliminate the candida, ALKALINIZE your body (read our article pH Balance), boost the immune system and improve your food choices. Chronic health conditions ususally take a minimum of 6 months to turn around. Consistency over time with products and diet will have the greatest effect. You can do it, I did.

2) Here are several products to consider ~

Note: The following information is for the sharing of life experience, since we are all in this process of healing our bodies together. Everyone must educate and inform themselves when choosing among health care options.

The information below is for educational purposes and is not intended to diagnose, cure or prevent any disease. We suggest you first check with your own medical, homeopathic or naturopathic physician before using these products – hopefully they will be open to alternative options.

How much of each product to take is a personal choice. Some people take the minimum dosages and other higher amounts. Discuss this with your doctor.

I used a multi-product approach and took many products every day for the fastest detoxification and cleansing as I could, and I lived between the bed, bathroom and the couch for 6 weeks. I had a brilliant holistic MD at the time to assist me (he is not seeing new patients any longer). HOWEVER, I had to monitor and make my own decisions about what products to use and what food to eat.

Along with products to cleanse and nourish my body, I ate and drank alkalinizing foods and water, juiced every day and after 3 months, I was strong enough to do 10 minutes of exercising and increased this each week.

So with the suggested dosages below ask your doctor if this is right for you.

3) Alkalinize Your Body - Cancida albicans cannot survive in an alkaline, oxygenated environment. So eating approxmately 80% alkaline foods and drinking alkaline water is a good guideline.

Detoxification and alkalinizing the body are a must. Remember if you had your blood looked at under a dark field microscope with an experienced technician you would be quite amazed at what is floating in your blood and attached to your cells that does not belong there, which makes your body very acidic and bogs down the immune system.

Here are some suggestions we have found successful to alkalinize our bodies and to keep our blood and body detoxified and the cells nourished.

a. Juicing - will cleanse, alkalinize (remove acidic waste) and supply many vitamins and minerals to the cells of your body. (Read Juicing)

b. Food - Eat foods that are opposite of the SADD (standard american dead diet). These are mostly alkalinizing foods such as raw, organic vegetables. Eat NO FRUIT, white sugar, white flour, white potatos or white rice. These all feed Candida.

The list can be helpful in choosing foods that are alkaline and those that are acidic... (acid-alkaline food list...)

When you go grocery shopping, spend most of your time in the produce section... these are the foods that will cleanse and alkalinize. Look for the freshest, most vibrant lettuce, kale, dandelion greens, cilantro etc.

When you eat a salad - this does not mean a small bowl of iceburg lettuce. Pull out a large mixing bowl and fill with mixed organic greens, avocado, 1/2 a raw beet and a carrot, using olive oil and vinegar dressings - EAT THE ENTIRE BOWL.

I like celery sticks with organic almond butter and Himalayan Crystal Salt sprinkled on top. Celery is very good for cleansing the colon AND

You can also use Celtic Salt, which has 72 essential trace minerals.

** Raw garlic – the juice from the garlic is a natural anti-fungal - do not cook the garlic - we added a clove to our juicing drinks - you will not smell like garlic if you put the clove in the juicer.

**Protein ~ Meat, chicken and fish are between 15% and 17% protein and all are acidic to the body. Better protein choices are:

** Eggs, hard boiled - approxmiately 60% protein

** Raw nuts raw organic seeds i.e. almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pecans are excellent choices. They contain good oils as well. Keep the nuts regrigerated. Cashew and walnuts are not as easy on the body, so do not eat too many of these.

**Hemp seeds/powder - 30 to 40% protein and contain wonderful fatty acids for the body - These can be found at the health food store and put in protein shakes/drinks. Hemp protein contains all 21 amino acids.

** Spirulina – 45% protein - I personally only use Nutrex Spirulina brand since many spirulina products available are not processed properly and contain mold. I prefer the Nutrex Spirulina tablets, the powder I only use at times when I am juicing vegetables to mask the taste. Nutrex Spirulina is available on our shopping cart under pH products

**Chlorella, wheatgrass, barley greens and other organic Alkaline green drinks, will further alkalinize your body.

These are helpful as well ~
**Oregano Oil
**Grapefruit Seed Extract

Additional products to further assist in alkalinizing your body can be found on our article pH Balance... OR on the shopping cart under Acid-Alkaline - pH Products...


4) WATER For those with Candidiasis - your body is acidic. The goal is to get the pH up to 7.0ish. You do that by eating alkalining foods and flushing out toxins, which are acidic waste - AND - drinking alkaline water.

There are two ways to alkalinize your water. Purchase distilled water and add pH booster/with ionic minerals. This proudct will boost your water pH up to 9.5 - which is 500 times greater than 7.0 - and is available on our shopping cart under Acid-Alkaline Products.
OR
ION MICRO WATER SYSTEMS - This company has excellent water systems which will alkalinize and ionize your tap water. Check into their Microlite or their Orion and Athena models.

The information above is enough to jumpstart your candida elimination program. Here is a link to our shopping cart if you choose to purchase products. Look under Candida Products and Acid-Alkaline - pH Balance for the products mentioned in this article.

Product Purchase

I had a severe case of Candida Alibcans for probably 30 years, which was never diagnosed. I was just extremely fatigued all the time, my face was always broken out, and all I could do was eat chocolate and drink coffee to “appear perky” until I had my blood looked at under a microscope. The candida infection was huge.

I shifted my consciousness and worked consistently at eliminating the candida albicans overgrowth and infection. This took a year, so plan on at least 6 months of product support to overcome this chronic condition.

Some days when I felt depressed and sorry for myself, I ate a peice of fruit...sometimes a few peices of organic dark chocolate. BUT don't stay in this mood. Make yourself get up and walk or jump on a Rebounder trammpouline, dance a little - do whatever it takes to shake the body and shift your consciousness - and keep on going.

Many doctors will tell you to change your diet, which is very helpful – yet they do not usually have any solutions to eliminate the infection in the body. But you can do some of the above steps and become Candida Albicans free. I did it and so can you.
