The Nutritional Approach to Beating Candidiasis

What are the symptoms of Candidiasis?
Developing new allergies (e.g.. to foods) as you grow older; always tired, poor digestion, gas, heartburn; sugar cravings, irritable, frequent headaches; poor memory, "fogged in" feeling, dizziness, recurring depression, vaginal infections, menstrual difficulties, prostatitis, urinary tract infections, infertility, hay fever, postnasal drip, habitual coughing, catch colds easily, sore throat, athlete's foot, skin rash, psoriasis, cold extremities, arthritis-like symptoms, feel miserable in general. If you have some combination of these symptoms then you've got candidiasis.

What is the main cause of Candidiasis?
Eating a diet high in highly refined carbohydrates, drinking soda pop, eating a diet high in sugars of all kinds, and the intake of Aspartame, combined with STRESS, cause a thick coat of mucus and impacted food residue in the intestines, which combines to form on the walls of the large intestine.

Not only does this encrusted matter contribute to further dysfunction of the colon, but, according to Bernard Jansen, D.C., in his boldly illustrated book, Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management, disease actually begins here because toxins are absorbed to cause malnutrition of our body cells
while absorption of nutrients is prevented.

Candida albicans, a normal inhabitant of a healthy colon, prefers to live in this toxic filth where it is warm, putrid, and lacking in oxygen. Consequently, this family of yeast does well in most colons. In many cases, as noted by Trowbridge and Walker in The Yeast Syndrome, they become so prolific that they escape the confines of the intestinal tract and cause havoc throughout the rest of the body.

According to a research pioneer, C. Orian Truss, MD, in a paper published in a 1978 issue of The Journal of Orthomolecular Psychiatry, Candida albicans proliferates in the intestines because of several factors, including stress, lowered immune system, antibiotic overuse, oral contraceptives, and use of cortisone or prednisone. It can change from the harmless non-invasive, sugar fermenting yeast like organism to the mycelial, or fungal, form with long, root like structures that can penetrate the membrane lining of the digestive tract.

If an individual can restore proper colon hygiene, the Candida will, instead, retreat to their former subdued state. Dr. David Soil, a University of Iowa biologist reported in a 1985 Science magazine article that Candida albicans is capable of changing from benign to virulent and change back to benign. In many cases, when the Candida returns to the benign form, the immune system will clear Candida from the rest of the body. Without paying close attention to the restoration of proper colon cleanliness, the immune system will be forced to continually battle Candida and its toxins.

How can we do this?
First you get on the Bowel management regime to cleanse your colon.
