Control Candida in Two Weeks

Control Candida in Two Weeks

The need for this article is both current and long-standing. The current Candida diets are unhealthy, lengthy, unwise and simply not all that effective. On the other hand, there is no reason that Candida cannot be totally controlled in a few days to two weeks for most cases -- a few cases may take longer than that.

At the roots of the Candida problem are several issues, few of which are ever addressed in a way that shows any understanding of nature and her laws.

Before we address those issues, let us just review a few points of basic Candida pathology.

First: Candida albicans is one type of yeast. It normally exists in a healthy gut and helps it to function better. It, as with all the flora in the gut, escapes sometimes into the blood and is corralled by the immune system in a few hours. Candida is one species of yeast. It is not pathogenic unless it mutates (which it does in the right environment) and it will be unaffected, generally, by other yeasts and yeast by-products taken into the body.

Second: Candida as a pathology first appeared as a consequence of antibiotics, which do not kill Candida, but which kill other friendly flora which would prevent Candida from overgrowing in the same way many trees in a rain forest prevent one species from owning everything.

When Candida appeared as a pathology, people getting diagnosed were very sick, on the verge of death. This condition is actually very rare, even though Candida seems to be everywhere.

Third: Candida mutates when given lots of food and no restraint of territory (i.e. the other friendly flora have died). It will become something pathogenic that is believed to drill holes in the intestines and enter the blood en masse. Once there, it roots in, so to speak, and is difficult to remove.

When Candida is in the blood in any quantity, the person will have a variety of symptoms and will not feel well. The person may have a compromised immune system or have evidence of fungal growth on the skin or mucus membranes. The person may be tired or otherwise affected systemically.

Fourth: Candida lives off of sugar and alcohol. It prefers slightly fermented sugars.

With this challenge, how can we regain control quickly and effectively without putting someone on a diet that is worse than the disease?

To answer this, we need to simply understand that there are three key areas that need to be addressed when we treat Candida.

1. Inhibiting the Candida itself

2. Healing the immune system to respond to the problem

3. Feeding the person, while starving the Candida

1) Inhibiting the Candida itself is the simplest step to address. It involves using substances that will inhibit Candida without any harm to the person.

Traditionally, I have used Dr. Christopher's Original Formulas Yellow Dock Combination. This formula is only sold in the bulk now because of its content of comfrey (which I believe to be integral to its effectiveness and desirable in any type of yeast problem). Although it is available encapsulated, the ingredients are different from the bulk formula. I use the powdered bulk formula either stirred into juice or encapsulated.

I also like bayberry and everyone uses Pau d' Arco, which is certainly effective.

These herbs together or separate will inhibit Candida growth. This is helpful, though not necessarily vital, to the overall Candida battle. I would probably use all three of the above options in small doses every day for the two weeks.

When any of my young children get thrush, we always have cured it in just a day or two with white oak bark tea (placed on the nipple and in the mouth of the baby). White oak bark is strongly anti-fungal. White oak bark is in the Yellow Dock Combination.

This is pretty much all I do from a standpoint of a direct attack on Candida. I do not use Colloidal Silver because it is such an indiscriminate killer.

2) Healing the immune system to respond to the problem involves several levels of healing activity.
