Proven Natural Candida Diet

Proven Natural Candida Diet and Herbal Treatment for Candida, Candidiasis, and Chronic Yeast Infections.

What is the Candida Diet and how can it help me?
There are various versions of the Candida diet available, but all follow the same basic formula.
Native Remedies has made it easier for you by creating an easy to follow list of what you should and what you shouldn't eat to beat Candida.
Will the Candida Diet help me to lose weight?
The Candida Diet is not intended for weight loss, but is specifically designed to combat Candida, Candidiasis and yeast infections. However, if you are overweight, you will almost certainly lose weight if you follow the Candida Diet!
Overgrowth of Candida causes intense cravings for sugar and starch, which is why many people cannot follow a weight loss diet.
Controlling levels of Candida in your digestive tract will help you to stick to your weight loss plan, while eliminating sugar and refined carbohydrates will help you lose weight.
Some Important Points
When following the Candida diet, you must make sure that your blood sugar levels are kept at an acceptable level by eating a substantial breakfast, lunch and supper. If you find that your energy level is low or you are experiencing dizziness while on the diet, it is probably due to low blood sugar. If this happens, simply add a mid-morning and mid afternoon snack. Please remember to drink lots of water in order to assist the elimination of toxins from your body. After a few days of detoxing, some of your symptoms may become worse and you could also experience headaches. This is quite normal and part of the detoxification process. It will improve after a few days and you will begin to feel healthier than you have felt for years! The Candida diet should be followed for 4 weeks, followed by a maintenance program as outlined.
You may not use sugar in any form – this includes sucrose (cane sugar), glucose and fructose (fruit sugar). Lactose (milk sugar) to be kept to a minimum.

Herbs for Detoxification & Body Cleansing

Environmental toxins, secondary smoke inhalation, alcohol, prescription and pleasure drug abuse, "hidden" chemicals and pollutants in many food that cause allergies and addictions, caffeine overload, and increased daily stress are all becoming more and more a part of our lives. These things greatly deplete the body and immune system. Poor immunity eventually results in debilitating disease. This has become the prime factor in allowing today's "civilization" diseases, such and Candida Albicans, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus, AIDS and ARC, HPV, etc to take hold.

In the past, detoxification was used either clinically, for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, or individually, as a once-a-year mild "spring cleaning" for health maintenance. Today detoxification is becoming necessary not only to health, but for the quality of our lives, since we are surrounded by so much involuntary toxicity. Optimally, one should detoxify two or three times a year to prevent disease and encourage health; in the Spring, Summer or early Fall, when the body can get an extra boost in this effort from sunlight and natural Vitamin D.

A good cleansing program should be in three stages: CLEANSING, REBUILDING, MAINTAINING. Herbs in their abundance of diversity, and the specific nature of their activity are optimally suited to these tasks.

Formulas for detoxification and blood cleansing are also effective in the following circumstances and conditions:

ALCOHOL & DRUG ABUSE - NICOTINE ADDICTION & WITHDRAWAL - LIVER & SPLEEN DISEASE - BACTERIAL INFECTION - ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS & HEAVY METAL POISONING - STAPH & STREP INFECTION - KIDNEY STONES & KIDNEY INFECTION - ECZEMA & PSORIASIS - HERPES - MENINGITIS & RHEUMATIC FEVER - HEPATITIS - ACNE & DERMATITIS - MONONUCLEOSIS - MALIGNANT TUMORS - WARTS, TUMORS, ABSCESSES & CYSTS - HPV VIRUS, AIDS & ARC - EPILEPSY - HYPOGLYCEMIA - INTERNAL PARASITES & WORMS

Areas of emphasis to be considered for formulation should include:
1) herbs for (a) blood purification, (b) mucous and (c) bowel cleansing;
2) herbs for rebuilding liver, organ and glandular health;
3) herbs for long term rebuilding and maintenance.
