Shelley's Advice on Candida

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

I don't know who of the curezone forum Ask is, but

she seems to have a great anti-candida protocol. And there's enough

here to choose from to account for people's different needs and

sensitivities. Best,

Here are my notes on things every candida sufferer should know and

what protocals are effective. I try to keep it sparse since brainfog

prevents reading large documents. Let me know if I forgot

anything!

Candida Notes

---Do I Have Candida?

http://pages.britishlibrary.net/lobster/candida/test.html

Common symptoms include: brain fog; irritability; recurring

vaginitis, jock itch, thrush;

patches of ringworm or white rash; moldy toes; acne;

constipation/indigestion

If you've taken broad-spectrum antibiotics, then yes.

Take the Saliva Test. Instructions on Internet. Keep taking the test

regularly to determine whether you are in first stage (candida

overgrowth) or second stage (candida balanced but aftermath still

needs to be dealt with).

---Common Causes

Standard American diet coupled with improper eating/lifestyle habits

and stress that lead to poor digestion. Undigested foods due to lack

of bile from the liver, enzymes from pancreas and gastric juices in

the stomach (antacids) go to the colon and rot. Candida eat this.

Taking antibiotics kills acidophilus, which is a microbe that keeps

candida in check much the same way that wolves will keep deer in

check. Too few wolves and deer overpopulate.

-----Complications

Systemic candidiasis isn't just about candida. It's also about what

candida does to you over time. When candida grows into the rhizome

stage, it sprouts into a long, stalk-like fungus that punches holes

in your entire digestive tract, allowing toxins to enter the

bloodstream. The liver and immune system must deal with these

toxins, so they get stressed, overloaded and clogged, as does the

lymphatic system due to partially digested fats. Digestion slows

down even further and you end up with a vicious cycle that creates

even more candida and liver congestion and leaky gut.

Candida eats sugars and excretes alcohol. Your liver is stressed

from dealing with all the alcohol.

Many people call brain fog " die off " and often die-off is involved,

but really, it is all those toxins passing the blood brain barrier.

Whenever you feel fatigues, brain fogged, cleanse the colon.

----------The Cure

---Objectives:

-Kill the yeast (only 10% of cure)

ThreeLac has helped a few people, but not so many as they claim.

Apparently, if you take it immediately following antibiotics it's a

great help. If you've had candida for awhile, it is much less

effective.

Kyoilc (garlic) and Grapefruit Seed Oil are the best for steady,

effective, not too many side-effects, anti-yeast supplements. Pau

D'arco tea is often recommended but you have to drink 8 cups daily

for it to have any effect. Garden of Life sells an anti-fungal mix

that has good things in it.

Anti-fungals should only be taken for 2 - 4 weeks. After that, yeast

has adapted and resistant. Switch to probiotics. Be sure to practice

good colon cleansing while you take anti-fungals to reduce toxic

symptoms.

-Starve the yeast (avoid all sugars and dairy for 3 months)

Avoid fruit too. An apple a day is okay, as are lemon and lime.

Caveman diet.

If you lose too much weight, start eating Kichadi. Also known as

Kicharee, it's a basmati rice and mung bean stew that is great for

people with weak digestion. Ask for recipe.

Avoid raw foods. They are healing for most people, but for weak

digestions lightly steamed is better. Juices are fine.

-Replace friendly microbes

Probiotics are the good microbes that get killed by poor diet, dead

foods, antibiotics and aren't replaced by dead dairy. You can take

them orally but beware, many won't survive stomach acids. Primal

Defense is designed to survive and doesn't need to be refrigerated.

Refrigerated cultures are great for rectal implants.

-Alkalinize the body with an alkaline diet

Vegetarian diets are alkaline. Eat very high quality beef once a

week to keep up your strength, otherwise, stick to beans, lentils,

nuts.

Caveman diet! Excellent!

-Thoroughly cleanse the bowels, lymph, liver

Buy an enema bucket setup. Cheapest one I've found is from Health &

Yoga in India. Follow the Bowel Management for Beginners notes.

At least weekly, take a detox bath.

Dry brush daily.

See liver notes.

Increase power of digestion

See notes.

-Avoid allergens for 6-9 months

Anything you are used to eating is probably an allergen to you now.

Common allergens are wheat, corn, white potatoes

Beware of perfumes, pest sprays, household cleansers. Use natural

solutions whenever possible. Avoid new cars!

-Oxygenate the body! Increase circulation!

Exercise!

Walk at least 20 minutes 3x week.

Self-massage

Massage

Castor oil packs/moist heat

Acupressure/puncture

Cayenne Pepper

-Good Sleep!

Go to sleep by 11:00 pm. Each hour before midnight slept is twice as

healing as every hour after.

----Essential supplements:

Pancreatic enzymes

Super Greens (chlorella, spirulina, barley, veggies, etc.)

Essential Fatty Acids

Can take fish oil, flax seed oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Borage

Green Tea & Spicy Teas

Planetary Formula's Bupleurum Liver Cleanse

Probiotics

A good multi-vit - Solaray's Spectro - with GTF Chromium

Cleansing drink: warm water, juice of ½ lemon, 1 tbl apple cider

vinegar; dash of cayenne or cayenne tincture; a bit of maple syrup

just to make it taste better - as long as you use just one tsp don't

worry about feeding the yeasties. Drink every night, try to drink

mid-morning or before main meal.

Consider getting a juicer. The yeasties have been starving your body

of vital nutrients for a long time. Vitamins are just not as good as

real food.

Fiber/intestinal cleanser/bentonite clay

Support Adrenals

NO caffeine

Take Gotu Kola (an herb) as a Tea so it helps repair tissues too
