Candida Remedies

Candida Remedies

Candida albicans is a type of yeast-like fungi that is commonly found in and on the human body.  Normally, the population of candida is kept under control by the existence of other microorganisms or friendly bacteria.  However, certain substances or situations such as poor diet, drug consumption and high stress levels can upset the delicate balance of these microorganisms and allow candida to grow unchecked.  Candida overgrowth can cause a number of symptoms in the body such as gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, allergies, vaginal yeast infections, and confusion.

Candida Remedies: Balancing Diet and Supplements

There are a number of conventional anti-fungal medications that are often prescribed to treat candidiasis.  These include Amphotericin B, fluconazole, nystatin and ketoconazole. However, like most prescription medications, these drugs can be quite expensive and often come with a laundry list of adverse side effects.  A better choice in treating candida overgrowth is to use both diet and supplements to eliminate candida and restore the balance of microorganisms in the system.

Diet

The first step in any successful candida remedy is to starve and weaken the excess candida that has propagated throughout the body.  Unfortunately, candida feeds from the foods that you eat.  So following an anti-yeast diet means eliminating the following foods from your diet:
· Refined or concentrated sugars (such as honey, molasses, corn syrup, glucose, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, sugar and sugary foods)
· Refined carbohydrates (such as pasta, cereals, and breads made from refined white flour, and white rice)
· Dairy products (especially milk-based products)
· Alcohol (wine, beer and mixed drinks)
· Peanuts (peanuts grow underground and have a natural mold on them that provides food for the candida)

It may also be necessary to eliminate high fructose fruits (such as strawberries), mushrooms, gluten, yeasted breads and vinegar from your diet.  Try limiting their consumption at first and if you still have a problem with candida after a reasonable amount of time, you can further restrict your diet.

Supplements

The right dietary supplement should support and regulate a healthy balance of naturally occurring microorganisms throughout your system. It should also work to strengthen your immune system and help maintain your overall good health.

Probiotics:  Probiotics contain healthy bacteria that help you regulate the balance of microorganisms in your digestive tract.

Herbs: A variety of herbs and nutrients can also be used to regulate and maintain the healthy balance of intestinal bacteria, thus eliminating candida overgrowth. Some of the most common herbs used to treat candida include pau D’Arco, oregano oil, anise seed, lemongrass, black walnut, grapefruit seed extract, garlic, beta carotene, caprylic acid, and biotin.

Combination Products: The best candida remedy will use a combination of probiotics and anti-fungal herbs to treat candida overgrowth.  For instance, Mycozil contains the herbs pau D’Arco, oregano, anise seed, and lemongrass as well as the friendly bacteria Bacillus latersporus.  This combination helps you to eliminate excess yeast from your body and replace it with the right balance of healthy microorganisms.  In addition, Mycozil contains active horopito, a flowering herb that has been proven in clinical research to be as effective in treating fungus and candida as prescription anti-fungal medications such as Nystatin.

Sticking With Your Candida Remedy

Remember that it will take a considerable amount of time for your candida remedy to work.  It is recommended that you follow an anti-yeast diet and use an anti-fungal dietary supplement for at least three months before you decide whether or not it is working for you.
While you are using your candida remedy, pay close attention to your body and any symptoms you may be experiencing.  These signals may be subtle, but they are very important to notice.  Make note of any changes in energy, appetite, sleep, taste, smell, hearing, and eyesight that you are feeling.  Adjust your candida remedy as necessary.
