💢 Candida, in its simple cell, benign, yeast form, is found in your mouth, gut, intestines, skin and va**na. It becomes problematic when your healthy bacteria are diminished, allowing the Candida yeast to morph into the problematic Candida fungal form. This fungal form spreads and has pointy branch-like extensions that cause damage such as leaky gut. Important to note, when one has a candida issue such as oral thrush or va**nal symptoms/recurrent UTIs... these issues almost always stem from an overgrowth that has originated in the gut. You must treat the gut as well, not just the localized area. For example, someone with oral thrush is not likely to heal just by doing an oral antifungal rinse. You must heal the gut too. The top “triggers” of this transformation, and it is usually a combination, are heavy metals, exposure to mold, exposure to 5G (acts as an antenna for metals and helps mold spread), chlorine in tap water, stress, medications like antibiotics, steroids and birth control, low stomach acid, hormonal imbalances, alcohol, added sugars, processed foods, parasites and body acidity (too low of a pH). This overgrowth commonly leads to a diagnosis of MCAS (mast cell), as MCAS is a blanket term for dysbiosis in the gut. By the time the body gets to the point of having a candida infection, it is usually toxic to the point of also having other issues like parasites, heavy metal toxicity, leaky gut, SIBO, and histamine issues.
Candida (like other pathogens) encases itself in a protective biofilm that makes it difficult to treat, especially with pharmaceutical antifungals, as they do not break through the biofilms. Most of the herbs that act as natural antifungals do also pe*****te the biofilms. It is uncommon for people to heal if using the pharmaceutical antifungals for this reason and because it can take many months to heal a candida infection, and the pharmaceuticals are not safe to take for that amount of time. It is common to also experience side effects such as liver issues and hair loss with some of the pharmaceuticals.
When Candida dies, it expels heavy metals (Candida eats metals to protect you, as do parasites and so you can't clear a candida or parasite infections if you don't rid the body of metals) and other toxins like acetaldehyde, ammonia and uric acid. This is why we feel die off aka herxing when we cleanse Candida. For this reason, it’s helpful to take a binder when cleansing. A binder binds to heavy metals, toxins, etc. You must be careful with binders because some of them will bind to the good as well, like your nutrients. Another consideration is that some binders are "dirt" based and are DEhydrating at a cellular level (this is a problem because hydration = detoxification) and many of them stay primarily in the gut. Metals are all around the body, so a better choice for a binder is one that goes systemic around the body.
To rid the body of a Candida infection, you need to 1. Most importantly, understand that it would be impossible for any pathogen (Candida, parasites, mold, bad bacteria, Lyme, etc.) to survive in your body if your lymphatic system were healthy. For these pathogens to be present, your lymphatic fluid is acidic and stagnant. Your lymphatic fluid is how waste products, cellular debris, and pathogens from your tissues (your tissues make up your organs) are removed from the body. Detoxification of the lymphatic system is crucial for healing. 2. Identify and eliminate the “triggers” that set off your infection. 3. Antifungals 4. Diet. The Candida diet is somewhat controversial; everyone is NOT in agreement on all the specifics. I would discuss this in detail on a one-on-one basis. I will say for everyone, you have to 100% eliminate starch, yeast, gluten, added sugars, processed foods (foods and drinks with a list of "other ingredients"), seed oils (canola, soybean, vegetable, safflower, sunflower, grapeseed), alcohol, vinegar (except apple cider vinegar), mold fermented foods including Kombucha, soy sauce, tamari, tempeh, miso and cheese. 5. Support your body’s detox pathways (p*e, p**p, sweat).
Helpful to clear out an infection: Castor oil packs, sauna, red light therapy, rebounding, vibration plate, dry brushing, lymphatic massage, liver/gallbladder flushing, and intermittent fasting.
A little about me and where my information comes from. I had a severe Candida infection. It was in my stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, bladder, and nervous system. I was down to 100 pounds, was yellow and could not eat when I was finally properly diagnosed. I was so weak I could not leave my house, often could not even get myself into the shower. I also had impaired kidney function with kidney pain daily, lead toxicity, glyphosate toxicity, EPI (pancreas not making digestive enzymes), and bile reflux causing gastritis (my bile was backing up into my stomach). I have since healed and went on to further my education. I am a board-certified Natural Wellness Practitioner with additional certifications in regenerative detoxification, nutrition consulting and Reams Biological Theory of Ionization (balancing the body’s pH, sugar, salts and proteins).
I am grateful to have regained my health and am in a place to help others and am offering personalized consultations. Scheduling link in comments 👇👇👇👇
