To effectively kill Candida, there must be
understanding of the life cycle of yeast, its nutritional
requirements, and the true relationship between foods in the
diet and yeast growth. The best Candida treatment approach uses
the following elements:
-
Antifungal compounds derived from plants.
Candida will never go away without the use of medication
to kill it. Prescription medications are very limited in
how they try to kill yeast and they are not very
effective, even when taken at high doses for extended
periods. Most natural medications and supplements yield
similar disappointing results. However, nature endows
plants with the ability to produce antifungal compounds
to keep fungus, or rot, from invading them. These
compounds work for plants and they work for us, also.
The combination of plant-derived antifungals must be
properly prepared in order to be effective.
-
A scientifically-based antifungal diet.
Antifungal medication is the keystone of Candida
treatment; diet alone can never get Candida fully under
control. However, following a proper diet is necessary
to support the action of the antifungals. Many Candida
diets fail to identify certain foods that feed Candida,
while others are overly restrictive. The diet we use was
researched by a physician who has a doctorate in
clinical nutrition, and it has proven itself very
accurate in clinical practice. It is important to
mention that the antifungal medication rapidly takes
cravings away, so that following the diet is made much
easier.
-
Live probiotic bacterial supplements.
Part of treating Candida is replacing the dying yeast
with competitive bacteria. The important issues with
probiotics are that the bacterial strains chosen are
beneficial in the restoration of normal flora, that the
bacteria in the supplement are actually alive, and that
the food source used in the supplement to keep them
alive is proper (milk is a poor choice and maltodextrin,
which is commonly used, is worse).
Clinical experience with this treatment approach
over several years and with over a thousand patients has shown
over 90% of patients report significant, noticeable improvement
in their symptoms. Mood and energy, sleep, digestion, memory,
blood sugar and cholesterol levels and various other measures
improve. Using a simple maintenance program, patients are able
avoid recurrences and keep their good health indefinitely.
