Candida Detoxification
Most people have a little bit of Candida in their intestinal tract. These small amounts do not cause any harm, and their growth is kept in check by the friendly bacteria that also live in your intestines. This positive balance is disrupted when the effects of poor diet, or the overuse of antibiotics depletes the healthy amounts of friendly bacteria needed to keep Candida in check.
Signs You May Need a Candida Detoxification
Signs that you may have health problems caused by an overgrowth of Candida are varied, but the Candida tends to affect 5 areas of your body.
Digestive System: symptoms include food allergies, digestive discomfort, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea
Endocrine System: problems with glands such as the adrenal, pineal, pituitary, thyroid, male and female sex glands, pancreas
Nervous System: symptoms include fatique, mood swings, anxiety, depression, insomnia, memory loss
Genito-Urinary Tract: men and women have different symptoms. Women will have PMS, urinary and vaginal infections. Men will have anal and rectal itching, genital rashes, prostatitis, impotence
Skin: acne, excessive sweating, hives, eczema, psoriasis
How to do a Candida Detoxification
These are the 5 steps necessary to rid your body of Candida.
- As a large part of the problem is that your digestive tract is severely depleted of the friendly bacteria, so the introduction of probiotics is necessary to build up the levels. Once the levels are built up your body can return to keeping the Candida population down itself.
- The next step is to do a colon cleanse by consuming psyllium, which acts as a mild sandpaper in your colon to remove caked up debris. Removing the caked up debris gets rid of the Candida’s place to live in your body.
- Take a fungicide which will kill the Candida, but not harm the friendly bacteria in your intestine.
- As sugar feeds yeast, it is imperative that you remove sugar, sugar containing foods, and yeast containing foods, from your diet. This removes the Candida’s food supply.
- Work out a follow up plan with your healthcare provider to prevent the Candida from overtaking your body in excessive amounts again, such as taking oregano oil, thyme oil, garlic and other useful herbs.
Always remember to check with your healthcare provider, to make sure the causes of your symptoms are indeed from a problem with Candida, and that a Candida Detoxification plan is the right course for you to take.
