Candida
Controlling Candida Will Avoid a Multitude of Ailments
Yes you can bounce back from Epstein Barr! There is a perfectly natural, non-toxic fibromyalgia treatment that will have you feeling better in one month. Use this plan for both the fibromyalgia treatment and to cure Epstein Barr.
Candida is an element naturally present in our intestinal flora. The natural balance can be offset by an improper diet, an impaired immune system, and/or use of medications, especially antibiotics. One course of antibiotics alone can cause this imbalance and when candida is in the “overgrowth” state it is like a parasite that spills toxins into your system causing you to feel miserable and crave carbohydrates. It is considered to be the cause of debilitating diseases such as Epstein Barr and Fibromyalgia. Something to keep in mind is that candida is a form of yeast that is fed by sugar and any carbohydrate is converted to sugar by our body. To get your intestinal flora back into balance, follow my three step plan.
1] Provide Support for Immune System
- Take Endocrine Strengthener available here at The Healing Path to support the immune system
- Get plenty of rest [at least 7 hours per night-sleep in total darkness]
- Take a high potency multi-vitamin and mineral and B-complex – take extra vitamin
A, C and E
- Take 1 Tbsp of coconut oil or ground flaxseed daily (Preferably Coconut oil)
- Vitamin D (minimum of 1,000 IU daily but you can take 5,000-10,0000)
2] Flush the Digestive Tract and Balance Intestinal Flora.
- Drink lots of water; to will help flush the system & reduce the discomfort you feel as
the yeast dies off. Remember that sometimes you feel worse before you feel better.
- Eat foods that add healthy bacteria (raw sauerkraut-the kind in bags, yogurt, miso
soup, kimchi, kombucha tea and naturally fermented apple cider vinegar) and one of the best is Kefir.
- Take a Metamucil type fiber supplement daily. You should have 25 grams of fiber daily
- Very Important: If you don’t have a bowel movement daily; stay on step one and two. Proceed to step three ONLY when you have achieved regularity.
3] Stop feeding the yeast by following the Candida Control Diet:
(For at least one Month)
- Eliminate all sugars (you may use the herb stevia as a substitute)
- Limit carbohydrates to 10-15 grams per meal. Subtract fiber content from carbohydrates to get your (net) carbs.
- Eliminate white flour, white rice, and pasta.
- Keep even whole grains to a minimum because your
body turns carbs into sugar.
- Limit dairy products because of lactose (milk sugar.)
but eat kefir or yogurt 1-2 times weekly
- Eliminate all known or suspected food allergens.
- Discontinue use of all antibiotics unless it is absolutely medically necessity
- Eat all the high quality (preferably organic) lean protein that you want.
- Go easy on the processed meats.
- I recommend The Protein Power Plan by doctors
Michael and Mary Eades, South Beach Diet or The Zone diet. If you choose South Beach Diet you must stay on Phase one
for one month rather than the suggested two weeks.
Eliminate the use of antibiotics, steroids, immune suppressing drugs, and birth control pills
Note: Although it is suggested to limit dairy products due to lactose (milk sugar), I think it is important to eat kefir yogurt because the acidophilus in both is very beneficial in bringing the intestinal flora back into balance Kefir is even better as it contains 10 times more healthy bacteria than yogurt. Use plain or sugar free kefir or yogurt. If you do not like these, you may want to consider purchasing a good probiotic supplement.
ALSO: For very stubborn cases of candida overgrowth, you can utilize Baking Soda. The use of baking soda can treat a yeast infection or oral thrush. In combination with the Anti-Candida diet, there may be a much better chance of curing Candida with baking soda. For intestinal candida overgrowth, start off with 1/2 tsp baking soda in water to prevent the discomfort of sudden candida die-off IE Herxheimer reaction. Work up to 1 tsp in a glass of water.
Fibromyalgia –if you have trouble sleeping, follow the above recommendations but add Fibro-Nervine from The Healing Path to your program.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I developed this Candida Cleanse so that it is so much easier than most cleanses. It minimizes or eliminates the Herxheimer reaction (flu-like symptoms some experience during a cleanse) This candida cleanse, when followed properly (as stated above), will allow you balance you intestinal flora and rid yourself of a candida overgrowth, fibromyalgia and Epstein Barr.
