Getting Rid of Candida
Getting Rid of Candida
Sep 10, 2009
Did you know? In researching and writing these emails about Candida, the scriptures in the Old Testament, particularly Exodus and Leviticus that talk about making offerings of cakes made without yeast came to mind. Yeast in these scriptures referred to sin. While having a yeast infection or overgrowth of Candida in no way indicates sin – it was telling to me how easily this fungus can invade our lives, much as sin can and does!
Back to the original subject for this week, which is how to rebalance your system and get the good bacteria to outnumber the bad as it is supposed to.
Here are some simple things you can do:
1. Do not use antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals unless absolutely necessary. Antiobiotics are extremely overused and a major factor in the overgrowth of Candida. Make every effort to use and exhaust all natural methods before resorting to pharmaceutical drugs. A good natural alternative to regular antibiotics is using colloidal silver. This is a very effective natural antibiotic which will address the bad bacteria without killing the good. If you want some good sources for this email me and I’ll be happy to give you some. There are other natural supplements you can use to strengthen the immune system and fight off invaders as well as herbs and supplements that are used specifically for dealing with Candida.
2. Eliminate sugar in all forms including refined grains, alcohol, milk/dairy products, dried fruit, peanuts and peanut butter (which contain certain molds that can stress the immune system.)
3. Clean up the diet: eat clean, nutrient-dense, fresh foods, including whole grains IN MODERATION; raw or gently cooked vegetables; legumes and beans; no more than 3 pieces of fresh fruit daily while dealing with Candida overgrowth; seeds and nuts; milk alternatives such as almond, hemp, oat or rice milk. They do not contain lactose, which also feeds Candida.
4. Increase your fiber intake as this will help clear the colon and reduce inflammation. Include natural fiber sources such as old fashioned or steel cut oats, flax seeds, chia seeds and fresh, leafy green vegetables.
5. Consider adding coconut oil to your diet. It is an extremely healthy form of fat which not only improves metabolism but also contains lauric acid which is antimicrobial and antifungal. It has been shown to be very effective in dealing with Candida.
6. I suggest you begin using a good quality probiotic, like Advanced Probiotic Blend from Purium to repopulate the good bacteria in your system. This particular one also contains a prebiotic, which is food for the good bacteria.
7. I also recommend you try to use a good quality enzyme supplement with every meal, as well as between meals on an empty stomach. Using it with meals helps you digest your food more effectively (preventing unnecessary fermentation) and using it between meals on an empty stomach will actually help clear the yeast and bacteria from the system.

3-D Coaching
If you need more help than I can offer in these brief emails to clean up your diet and balance your system, contact me about scheduling a free 30 minute “Get Acquainted” Coaching Session to determine which package is right for you. This is the first step to real, vibrant health. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Identifying and dealing with stress in your life, getting sufficient rest, learning and using effective relaxation techniques and getting adequate exercise are also recommendations for balancing your system and getting rid of yeast overgrowth. All these areas are addressed in every “3-D” Living Coaching Package. You cannot deal with only one aspect. We are complex, tri-part beings and spirit, soul and body must always be addressed as each impacts the others.
Until next week, as always, I wish you overflowing, abundant, health, joy and peace and I call you BLESSED.
