Eliminating Candida with Fasting 4 Mar 2013 4:46 PM (12 years ago)

Other than going on a specific diet, one that wants to get rid of Candida in another way can choose to go another route. That other way is fasting. While often ignored fasting is one of the most effective ways of eliminating toxins and bad bacteria in the body.

This in turn can be a very effective way of getting on top of candida very fast as well.

…In fact fasting has been related to many health benefits however it is always recommend to ask your doctor before starting any rigid low eating diet.

Now, what one needs to be aware of when fasting is ensuring it is safe for your body. You may want to consult your doctor and if issues you may want to consider doing a minor fast first to test the limits of the body.

What do I mean by mild fast, well a proper fast can be done as much as 21 days. For a minor fast one would do only 3 days. Then after completing a 3 day fast, you may later want to consider one week and so forth.

Please be aware going 21 days without food is not safe without supervision for experienced doctors or nutritionists.

 
In the video Above Loren Lockman goes over the benefits of fasting and how it can get rid of yeast and candida problems.

Welcome to My Candida Cleanse 21 Feb 2013 9:36 PM (12 years ago)

Welcome to My Candida Cleanse, if it is your first time here you are probably thinking, how you or a friend of yours can get rid of Candida. If so, you have come to the right place. Candida can be tough, but because I have been there and conquered it before I know this website can help you or anyone you know conquer it as well.

First of all, let me first make it clear, Candida is not a mystery, no matter how many doctors say it is or hide the truth. The truth is most doctors just are not trained in this area and because Candida already exists in the body already, it is easy for them to overlook and then for you to continue to feel sick and tired.

Time to Conquer Candida..

This website therefore is about saying enough is enough with it, time to conquer it, we know candida is tough and so let’s address it now before it becomes worse.

So, what should you do first, well first you should start looking at the most common causes and symptoms of candida, if you still are unsure whether you even have Candida, well then take our quick test and you will see within minutes or hours..

After that, then it is about addressing you and your diet, you have to start focusing on making healthier changes.

The Three Day Candida Diet Plan is a great option for getting in control of candida fast. To find out more.

Helpful food additions to diet include Garlic , Ginger, coconut and many more. Not too mention the secret additions such as probiotics like Threelac and Enzymes like Candex.

I know it takes time and effort, however with patience you can be on the road to recovery and a healthier you within a few months or maybe even less.

My Story – Can you Relate..?

Let me also share with you that I have been there as well myself, It is really hard, I had Candida for many years and did not even know, at some points I even thought I would die. It really is amazing how sick a yeast infection can make you. It happened to me when I was around 19 years old, it actually took over my life, lost contact with friends as I basically went from doctor to doctor, the diagnoses ranged from nothing, to hypochondria to panic attacks, to you name it. They really overall had no clue what was wrong and what was making me feel continually ill. Finally and luckily for me I stumbled upon a amazing allergy specialist that found my problem once and for all.. Interestingly, times are a changing and some doctors today actually do know what this infection can do, it just depends on the doctor.

I was diagnosed finally with chronic Candida, however things did look up, within weeks I was hanging out with friends again, eating more normally and socialising again.Things were basically back to normal, except all I had to do was be aware of what was the cause and change my lifestyle.

Okay, so that was my story in a nutshell and that is why this website exists, a site dedicated to helping you or another person you know with Candida make changes in there life in order to live a healthy life once again.

Regards,
Timon

Threelac Capsules 15 Feb 2013 4:27 PM (12 years ago)

A new product is on the market called  Threelac Capsules, they are small, lightweight and easy to take and yes I have ordered them as well. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and see if they are as good as the Threelac sachets powder.

First of all, my first impression was really good, they are light weight, they are much easier to take and they still contain all the needed ingredients ( powerful probiotic formula that has been designed to get past the stomach and deep into the bowels where candida lies ) to help get on top of Candida and any form of Yeast Infection.

They are particularly handy for taking to work or taking with you anywhere you go, not that the sachets are much different, it is just taking a capsule is more convenient I believe overall.

Another good point is they come in 120 capsules so they are quite good for value for money, not to mention  because it is 120 it means you have a bigger supply as well. That was another good point.

I have tried to work out some negative aspects about this product, but it is really hard to find. The only main difference I can see to the sachets is that they are in capsules form and the supply is better.

So without rambling to much, which is what I can do on occasions ( sorry people ) I would recommend checking out this product from GHT, in fact it can easily be ordered through amazon as well.

Can Vertigo and Dizziness Be Caused By Candida? 20 Dec 2012 9:28 PM (12 years ago)

If you are suffering from Vertigo you may have been told by your doctors already that there is no treatment, I have been there, many of us have been there. In fact, I thought it was not Candida related in anyway as well until I started noticing the patterns.

Yes that is right, Candida also known as a yeast infection can cause many mishaps and one unusual one is that it can cause dizziness and vertigo. Great I thought because i had little known other candida symptoms at the time and i thought i was on top of everything.

If your case has a name well then that is great, however consider my words as something to ponder, did your doctor give you a diagnosis based on a real case of some type of vertigo or did they just want to get you out of the room because they do not know how to treat it. This is much the same with Vertigo as it is one of those things that doctors like to avoid. Yes positional vertigo can be treated i know doing all those exercises, they really do help, however what is triggering it exactly if it not so much positional.?

Well, this is what i worked out. For me It was one of those symptoms, rare on the Candida side but still a case of Candida none the less. What i did was try a few remedies and what i found was profound as well, a simple ginger and garlic tea gave me relief. Well how about that, a common remedy for yeast infections. I felt the connection there almost straight way so decided to go on a really strict Candida diet and drink the tea regularly. Well relief was within days. So to, that convinced me, when you go from a room spinning to having to lie down to feel balanced to almost back to normal in a couple of days it really has you thinking. What a connection.

Inspiring Story

Now here is another interesting story a couple years after my bout of Vertigo was gone, I accidentally stumbled upon a forum and one lady there had had Vertigo chronically for over 2 years, can you believe that, in fact she hardly even did anything, she could not socialize, could not drive properly, could not leave her house and certainly could not work. She was one of those victims, she was a healthy women with no issues and then bam woke up one morning and her life changed. The doctors could not help which is common with vertigo and had tried exercises but nothing helped. I felt so concerned by her amazing story, I wrote back to her post asking her did she consider it maybe Candida related. Well of all things, doctors did not even suggest it, makes me upset sometimes. Anyways, back to the story, she had not even known about candida or even considered it. She had basically spent thousands on tests and no avail and no solution.

I asked her to try this, stop drinking any forms of tea and coffee which she replied was not a problem and then daily drink a strong batch of ginger and garlic tea.. I told her to do it for two weeks and eat healthy and then reply back to see if it helped at all..

Well, it was one of those light bulb moments, ” bing “, where one could almost cry, not only had her Vertigo gone she could now drive and work and all the aspects that had gone for over 2 years in this women were basicallyback to normal. She was so happy that she said she would be a fan of this blog for life, but what made me happy more so than that was that i helped some one get on with there life where the loopholes of the medical society had slipped through.

So if you are a doctor or you know your doctor, do not forget to share this story with them. What may appear as a little thing can make the world of difference to many lives around the world.

And so, in answer to the question asked, it is a sure thing that Candida can very easily cause Dizziness and Vertigo and i am not putting a disclaimer on that either. Maybe not all forms of Vertigo are the same, however if it helps some that is what matters.

Share the word people, I appreciate the support.

Why Fresher is Better When it Comes to Diet? 28 Aug 2012 4:54 PM (12 years ago)

Have you ever heard the saying, the fresher the better when it comes to what we eat and our food. This is so true when you have any form of food sensitivity such as candida or yeast infections. So what is about these types of foods that creates an issue..?

1. Firstly fresh food is full of so many nutrients which will help boost the immune system, where as with less fresh fruit and veges a lot of the good vitamins and minerals are less including vital
   immune boosting vitamins.
2. Fresh food is fresh so there is no risk of mold in your food. This may not be the case with food that has been sitting, small amounts of mold or yeast maybe forming which is not good for any type of yeast infection. This is particularly noticeable on the potato family so fresh is key..
3. Fresh food contains enzymes, where as non fresh food has very little or none at all.. Enzymes aid digestion.
4. Fresh food is best because that is what nature intended before the technology age came around and refrigerators came into play. Now every thing can be frozen or put in cans, etc, etc..
5. Important omega vitamins remain in fresh food.
6. Research has shown that those that eat high amounts of processed foods risk heart disease or obesity whereas those that are brought up on fresh produce can live to very long periods of time with less chance of illness, disease or even cancer.

Garlic Everyday to Help Keep Yeast Infections Away 31 Jul 2012 5:58 PM (12 years ago)

Have you ever heard the saying, an apple a day to help keep the Dentist away. The same can go for Garlic and Yeast infections or Candida. Garlic like we all know has some amazing properties and one them is its ability to kill mold, heal infections and lastly help kill Candida bacteria. Because it is so effective one you have any form of yeast infection under control taking it daily is a recommended Candida deterrent. Like i have said many times, just because the symptoms are gone does not mean that it cannot come back. In fact, now that you have had it most likely like most of us you will be susceptible to it for the rest of your life.

That is where Garlic comes in again. Take two fresh cloves, organic of course. And add to your daily routine. At first you may experience some sort of reaction but do not worry it will pass. The chemical component in Garlic called allicin will do its magick. Not only that it will boost the immune system and reduce all different types of infections as well. And to think this is such a simple change in diet that anyone can follow quite easily.

Research has shown that Candida induced mice that were fed Garlic every day for more than 21 days were basically Candida free, however the other mice that were not fed Garlic and yeast based foods were very unwell. The study concluded that daily amounts of Garlic reduced or even eliminated most yeast infections.

How i take Garlic myself is in many ways, we can add it to stir fry’s or add it to cooking, make some fresh yeast free garlic bread or even in some circumstances chew on it raw. Please note that to get its wonderful effects in raw form it is the strongest. I have learned this one by trial and error.

The down side of Garlic is it can really cause garlic breath, i know it sucks, you can brush after if need be or embrace this as a part of you now. However with that being said i am sure you can agree that it is better than any form of yeast infection, am i right? I think everyone here has to agree on that one as well.

Could Your House Be Making You Sick? 25 Jul 2012 9:07 PM (12 years ago)

Your house is where you are mostly so it only makes sense that if you are becoming sick that it also could be a potential reason for this being the case.

The same goes with Candida or any form of Yeast Infection, your house can actually be causing it or even worse making your condition worse and worse.

When it comes to Candida or any form of illness or allergy it is always so easy to blame the food, but what about if it was only a partial cause. What if what was in your room, in your house or in your bed was causing your problem. Below is some questions and answers you need to ask yourself. Each one containing a solution to the problem as well.

All of which relate to Candida and Yeast Infections so make sure to take note of all that apply.

1. How old is your bed? Has it ever gotten wet? Does it smell damp. If so, there may actually be mold inside your bed. That air borne mold may be breathed in at night thus causing and maintaining any candida problems you may have.
2. How about your pillow? Is it clean? Has it been changed in the last year? Is it hypoallergenic.
3. What about your walls in your house. Is there any black marks where it may indicate mold? Look in the bathroom, or even in the attic or basement, can you smell mold anywhere. If so you will probably want to get a mold killer on it like Apple Cider Vinegar or similar. Mold in houses can cause all sorts of health issues.
4. Where are the chemicals? In any way there should be no chemicals ever in the house. These should all be kept away or outside. If you suffer from Candida this is one of the most important rules, chemicals are irritants of the body and not to mention are linked to so many types of Cancers as well.
5. Check your floors, are they cement based or wooden based? If they are wooden based there might actually be large amounts of mold under your floor boards, this mold then drifts up, you then breath it in causing all sorts of shortness of breath or Asthma. If this could be the case, you may want to get them checked.
6. Dusty settings? By making sure everything is is as dust free as possible you can dramatically improve health overall. If you could imagine how much of this stuff you breath in everyday you would be very surprised.

Overall it is about assessing possible causes. If for some reason you feel that it may be something else that in causing it around your house then fixing this could really improve your overall health. Its amazing as well, to one person they may feel nothing, to another it may cause all sorts of problems.

Is It Possible to Get Candida in the Chest and Lungs? 15 Jul 2012 5:12 PM (12 years ago)

One of the questions i was asked recently was can candida get in the lungs and cause problems like pneumonia or chest pains. This is serious when this happens, however the answer is yes. It is hard to get diagnosed on this though and usually the only way it will show up is with a chest cat scan. A basic x ray will usually show nothing.

So, if you have candida and if you get chest pains etc, then i recommend insisting the doctor do a complete check with a cat scan. In fact insist even if the doctor wants to argue, remember you are paying them and too many times doctors ignore candida when instead they should be focusing on it more.

What happens when Candida gets into the chest is usually Asthma type symptoms all the way to pneumonia. I have had Pneumonia once and i can tell you it was definitely linked to candida, in fact i got it after taking Diflucan the first time. That is why taking drugs should only ever be seen as a last resort. They can actually make your Candida much much worse. Why? Because candida is a very strong organism and it can adapt to many conditions in the human body.

So once you have been fully checked and the doctor has confirmed you have chest problems due to a yeast infection, then now is decision time. Most likely the doctor will prescribe antibiotics that can do 1 of 2 things, make the situation worse or if they work do wonders within days. If you hear the doctor say they are not working this only confirms it as a more serious candida infection than was thought.

What you need to so is firstly listen to your doctor but ask all questions? Remember to ask about any types of antibiotics and if they may effect this type of infection. You want any clue so you can recover as quickly as possible. Then after those queries are answered you then have to change your diet to our strict recommended diet.

This means eliminating nearly all carbs and focusing more on proteins such as meat and eggs and of course lots of fresh vegetables. Not only that you will need to include a strong pro-biotic such as Threelac which will reduce this infection in the bowels. You see, by eliminating in the bowels it will help the body fight other areas better. Another product i would recommend adding as well is a good enzyme such as Candex. This is a enzyme specifically targeted to help digest carb based products. Carbs being what Candida feeds on.

Hint – If you were a smoker before this happened, then now is the time to quit.. These types of infections are generally the warning signs of much much worse.

Vitamin C should be added as well( large doses ), use it often, it will help boost the immune system and lung strength, followed by regular amounts of fresh garlic and ginger. Both of which are strong natural antibiotics which the yeast cannot ever get immune too.

After you do the changes keep regularly visiting your doctor to see if signs of improvement are happening. This is important because you may feel like it is still the same, but your body could be on the verge of improvement. Any news of improvement will help your mental state as well.

Lastly, if it does turn out to be Pneumonia one trick i learned that helped me improve was to for every now and then to take a good deep breath. I would then hold even if hard for up to 30 seconds. What this does is strengthen the weakened lungs and helps them get back to where they are supposed to be.

The Ultimate Anti Fungal Tea for Those with Yeast Infections 13 Jun 2012 1:46 AM (12 years ago)

Are you looking for an amazing tea recipe that is both anti fungal and helps fight Yeast Infections like Candida? If so you have come to the right place.

This tea packs an amazing punch and is an effective side treatment for those with this condition. Enjoy daily for best results.

The Ultimate Anti Fungal Tea Ingredients

1. Prepare a tea pot or pan in which to brew the below ingredients.
2. Chop one teaspoon of fresh Ginger – Ginger is a very powerful anti fungal and relieves indigestion
3. Chop one teaspoon of Garlic – Probably the most anti fungal ingredient on the planet especially in raw form.
4. Small pinch of Dandelion root, dried is best. Dandelion is good for the liver and the kidneys essential in any cleanse.
5. One herbal tea bag or St Johns Wart – St Johns Wart is a great anti depressant which is good for those with Candida as well it is also good for the liver.
6. Small pinch of dried chamomile – This can be bought at most supermarkets easily or online. Chamomile is great for relieving tense muscles and nervous issues, which is a common symptom of Candida feeling on edge.
7. Take a small one to two teaspoon of Manuka medicine grade honey and add to pot.. Manuka honey is great for digestion and has anti fungal properties, yes i know it is sweet when trying to avoid sugary items but because it has anti fungal properties in small amounts it is fine. If you find Manuka is not your thing just don’t add this one if you are on a strict no sweets at all diet. It depends on your place in the diet and your condition. However with that being said because of its strong anti fungal properties any reaction should only be good,
   to me it was fine.
8. Cinnamon – Add a small amount of Cinnamon, this ingredient is great for balancing sugar levels and making you feel less out of it as well.
9. Okay so now brew all these ingredients together. You can also add if you desire some sugar free soy milk. This will make the tea more so like a Chia Tea however if you do not like soy milk it is fine to go without. Either way it should taste pretty good.

The good news about this tea is if you brewed it in a pot, just have whenever you. It can be enjoyed multiple times a day and should help you feel more stronger and less vulnerable to the effects of any yeast infection symptoms. This is a formula I have enjoyed myself on many occasions.

If you have any questions on this tea please feel free to comment your thoughts on it whatever it maybe. Also while you are please subscribe to receive our free book on offer The Truth about Yeast Infections above.

How Long Does Candida Last? 12 Jun 2012 7:47 PM (12 years ago)

Another question came in today from a reader and I believe it is a good one. The reader asked the simple question that they have had candida for over a year now and how long do they expect Candida to last for? And secondly once it is gone can it come back?

These two questions are good and firstly i have answered the second one already in my recent post what to do once Candida has gone away. So for those wondering on that read that post. Now back to the first question, this is something that can’t be answered easily as everyone is a bit different. From my own personal experience below are the common levels and stages of Candida removal.

Please note that if you are after a quicker approach then  you should try my 3 Day Diet that can dramatically kick start your body into feeling better quickly.

Common Stages of Healing

1. After first month on diet, relief and feeling better a little but still susceptible to symptoms and allergies.
2. Second month much the same however you will notice that symptoms will be less and less and allergies will be much less as well.
3. On the third month you may feel like it is all over however a bout here and there will still come every now and then so going off the diet is not recommended. This stage is usually the trick stage and it is easy to think all is clear and then go off the diet to find it coming back next month. This month is a good month but still not fully clear.
4. Fourth month you should feel great and cleansed however you have now finally got on top of your condition, this is a time to enjoy this moment and not to quickly change back to your old ways. In fact you should never go back fully to your old diet and ways as this is what caused your Candida in the first place.
5. Fifth month is where you can become less rigid however now stick to a well balanced diet and avoid foods with high yeast. A small amount of yeast should be fine but overdoing it could result in this condition coming back which you do not want.

After the fifth month you truly are on your own, you should feel better and as long as you are living a healthy lifestyle your life should get back on track. Things to also consider during these stages and to help speed up the whole process is including strong Probiotics in your diet, including Raw Garlic in your daily diet, using Threelac, using Candex and taking daily multivitamins. These are all important to help boost the immune system during these times of body stress as well as reduce allergies which are the worst symptoms of this condition.

A second aid as well is improving digestion with the use of high fiber substances. Some good examples include Psyllium Husks and Chia Seeds. Fiber will essentially help you go to the toilet more frequently and also help you clear yourself better. In doing so it can also help clear the bowels of candida as well better.

So overall all of these combinations combined with the strict diet are effective in this process. However with that being said and answered this does not mean you are fully clear, you will always throughout your whole life unfortunately a weakness to this condition so it will be something you will always need to be aware of even when you are completely candida free that it could always come back if you let yourself go back to your old ways before it started to form. This is something that we all that have had this condition need to conquer in order to understand ourselves better and how our own personal body works as well.
