Yeast Eradication

Lifestyle of a person should be a main concern when it comes to yeast infection recovery, and the best way for it is ‘Yeast Eradication’.

Yeast is a part of a normal and healthy gut flora. But it becomes a cause of numerous health issues, if overgrown. The over grown yeast in the gut can become a cause of gastrointestinal discomfort, fatigue, joint pain, weight gain, rashes, acne, white coating on the tongue and intense cravings for alcohols, sugars and starches. It is highly recommended to directly kill the yeast to get rid of all the possible health effects.

Because of the “whole body” stress that the yeast can cause, especially in serious cases, it is crucial that the treatment approach should be thorough. A haphazard approach is destined to fail, as Yeast will find a way to multiply when given the smallest opportunity. Yeast eradication is the most effective treatment.

Yeast eradication involves –

• Killing excess yeast in the intestines and eliminating its breeding grounds by cleaning the bowel. It re-establishes a healthy balance of flora through supplementation with friendly bacteria.
• To stop the body from feeding the Candida by helping the person to adopts a diet that starves the yeast while nourishing your body.
• By eliminating the mycelial form of yeast that has migrated to other organs in the body (systemic Candida overgrowth) and detoxifies the Candida’s waste products.
• To strengthen the body and help the immune system rebuild itself.

• Killing Excess Yeast in the Bowel – The health of the bowel affects the entire health of the body. The Gut flora of the body is made up of delicately balanced community of micro-organisms. Studies suggest that many immunological dysfunctions are related to an imbalance in intestinal flora. When harmful intestinal bacteria (pathogens) outnumber good bacteria, health is compromised.

Healthy bowel flora is important for the maintenance of intestinal pH, strong digestion, and the production of vitamins, hormones, and immune-modulating substances. Pathogens like Candida, on the other hand, produce toxic byproducts in the intestines. These poisons can be absorbed into the bloodstream, causing a condition known as “auto-intoxication.” It is universally accepted that auto-intoxication is the underlying cause of a large number of symptoms and illnesses.

• Starving Candida – Sugars, yeast, most fermented foods, and anything quickly converted into sugar, (i.e., simple starches) are “SUPERFOOD” for Candida. To ensure a complete recovery from Candida, it is important to refrain from foods that nourish it.

• Eliminating Systemic Candidiasis – It is not unusual for someone suffering from “Systemic Candidiasis” (the mycelial fungal form), to have problems in many different organ systems. The mycelial form of Candida has the ability to migrate throughout the body. The fungi grow root-like extensions called mycelia. These mycelia serve to help the Candida travel through tissue in the body so that it can invade any organ. The mycelia also allow the Candida to anchor itself into tissue, weakening the cellular structures. The Candida then sucks nutrients from the host’s tissue. It emits enzymes that actually digest human cells.
• Strengthening the Body and Rebuilding the Immune System – Immune weakness is frequently a contributing factor to the development of Candidiasis or the result of it. Candida yeast releases waste material (like acetaldehyde and alcohol), and the blood, liver, and lymphatic system can become overburdened. When the body is congested with waste material, the immune system becomes overworked in its attempt to provide protection from these toxins and cannot remain efficient at preventing other health problems. Candidiasis is often an overlooked component of many other health problems, including colds, flu, arthritis, viral infections, immune diseases, cancer, and AIDS.

The yeast Eradication treatment includes –

Cleansing – Psyllium, Caproil, and Bentonite – These three substances pass through the intestines together, they thicken into an absorbent, cleansing gel. The movements of the intestines turn this gel round and round, forcing it against the sides of the intestines, where, in effect, it scrubs Candida away and soaks up toxins for easy elimination.

• Psyllium acts as an internal scrubbing brush. Its bulking action forces the Caproil and Bentonite against the sides of the colon. Psyllium’s absorptive ability also complements Charcoal’s toxin-attracting properties.
• Caproil acts like a detergent on the Psyllium brush, killing yeast on contact.
• Castor oil help break up waste in the intestines and liver.
• MSM addresses parasites as well as Candida. Yeast also lives IN mucus and MSM is a good mucus stripper.
• Bentonite soaks up dead yeast and toxins and helps the PSYLLIUM pull this debris from the body. Hydrated Bentonite is a super absorbent liquid day preparation, scientifically proven to absorb (attract) toxins, bacteria, and viruses. Combining its powerful properties with PSYLLIUM’s absorptive power and bulking action ensures that wastes are quickly eliminated.
• Flora Rebalancing (Bacteria, Probiotics, Soil-based Organisms, Colostrum)– Lactobacillus is a group of friendly microorganisms known to transform milk into yogurt and cheese. They are useful in helping maintain the delicate balance of fungus and bacteria in the intestinal tract.

Nutritional Supplements

• Vitamins & Minerals – Biotin is a B vitamin which is essential for the metabolism of fats and proteins. It is believed to play some role in preventing candida from converting into its invasive form.
• Balanced free-form amino acids.
• Antioxidants such as Vitamin E, A, balanced B, L-Lysine and Pantothenic acid. Vitamins A and C help with the infection resulting from fungal micro punctures made into the intestinal walls.
• Copper and zinc work together. Imbalanced copper levels directly tie to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Candida. Copper serves as a natural antifungal. People with Candida, parasites or Epstein-Barr virus commonly have an excess of copper and mercury in their body.
• Studies suggest that germanium improves many illnesses including Candida. Organic germanium increases tissue oxygenation.

Diet – Diet plays a large role in the development of Candidiasis, and so diet modification has to play a role in recovery. An anti-Candida diet is essential, whether the condition is mild or severe. This does not mean that the person will never eat his/her favourite foods again, but at least during the program the person may have to incorporate substitutions in some of the meals. The foods that promote yeast growth need to be eliminated or reduced, and more healthy, immune boosting foods need to be introduced to strengthen health and immunity.

The Foods to Avoid – Any foods containing fruit, fruit juice, sugar, or even natural sweeteners (except stevia) will help Candida to multiply. Fermented foods like vinegar, miso, cheeses, and alcohol, can also aggravate the condition by nourishing the yeast. Some foods that are “yeast-like” can cause sensitivities because one is sensitized to the Candida (e.g., mushrooms, yeast extract, and baker’s or nutritional yeast). Starchy foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, white rice, breads (even yeast-free breads are starchy), and pasta are quickly converted into sugars.

Starchy foods need to be avoided at the beginning of the program, but can gradually be reintroduced as you improve. Processed foods, preservatives, and refined or cooked unsaturated oils, weaken the body and should be avoided. Mucus-producing foods such as dairy foods (including cheese), refined flours, and meat should be restricted as they promote sluggish digestion and will slow the elimination of wastes from the bowel.The following should be reduced –

• Chocolate
• Citrus
• Corn
• Food coloring and additives
• Fruit punches
• Milk
• Processed and packaged foods
• Soft drinks
• Sugar
• Wheat
• Yeast
• Beef
• Chicken
• Coffee
• Eggs
• Oats
• Pork
• Rice
• Tea
• Tomatoes
• White potatoes

The Foods to include – A detoxifying diet rich in a variety of fibre, essential fatty acids, vegetables, legumes, white meats, alternative grains (in moderation), and complementary vegetarian proteins (beans combined with grains) is the most supportive to this program. Healthy oils like flax oil (always served unheated), which are rich in essential fatty acids, can support the healing process and can also help to conquer the yeast.

Stevia extract is a very special sweetener and a lifesaver for those with Candida. It contains no glucose and, therefore, does not nourish yeast at all. Satisfying the sugar craving with stevia can prevent many a regretful sugar binge caused by Candida urgings. This amazing extract is approximately 40 times sweeter than sugar (1 tsp. = approx. 1 cup sugar). It comes in a powder (which can be dispensed in a salt shaker) or a liquid and can be heated or dissolved in liquids. It is so versatile it can even be used to sweeten baked goods. There is a broad range in the quality of Stevia.
