Candida Albicans
YEAST
ELIMINATION
LEARNING TO EAT CANDIDA FREE
The process of eliminating
yeast from our body consists of a three fold action plan;
-
the diet needs to be changed
in order to starve the invader by eliminating the food that yeast
lives on.
-
taking homeopathic or
natural remedies which not only kill off the yeast, but boost
the body’s defense mechanism and help to cleanse and detoxify
the body.
-
by re-establishing the
optimal balance of friendly bacteria, since there are friendly
bacteria which we want to
encourage.
Let us first take a more detailed
look at how the diet needs to be altered in order to begin to eliminate
Candida Albicans from our bodies.
Candida feeds on:
- all types of sugars including: sucrose, fructose, fruit juices,
honey, maple syrup, lactose (milk sugar) and carbohydrates which
turn into glucose.
- red meat products, poultry products, eggs and all dairy foods
which further feed the yeast and contribute to the overall toxicity
of the gastrointestinal tract.
- all types of alcohol: beer, wine and spirits which contain high
quantities of fermented products in their production.
- mushrooms, which many consider to be one of the worst foods on
earth because they are fungi, which help the yeast proliferate.
Foods to avoid completely are:
all products with the presence of sugar or any other sweetener, corn
or wheat
- all breads and baked goods with yeast or wheat
- all fermented foods: tempeh, miso, vinegar, alcohol
- peanuts, corn, tomatoes
- all commercial condiments including ketchup, mustard, olives,
relishes
- coffee and tea,
- MSG.
It may seem like all foods, or at least all foods you eat and/or
like are being eliminated, however, knowing what the problem food
areas are allows you to examine the basic philosophy of what to eat
in order to nourish yourself with meals that are prepared fresh each
day. Leftovers will begin to grow mould within a couple of hours of
putting them in the fridge. In the event that there are leftovers
or you prefer to make extra food for the next day, you would be well
advised to put it in the freezer.
The concept of what to eat can be simplified by determining how serious
the individual’s condition is. There are five categories we will now
briefly examine. Remember, these are not all inclusive, and are here
to merely guide you.
Category #1 - the individual
is probably not experiencing any major discomforts or ailments but
may once in a while not feel 100%. This person would benefit from
a modified yeast free regime to prevent future problems and to fine
tune the occasional imbalances, however it is not essential.
Category #2 - the individual
is beginning to experience small irritations and occasional discomforts
such as: digestive problems, PMS, food and environmental sensitivities
and allergies, headaches, fatigue, sinus and bronchial problems, anxieties,
canker sores in the mouth, thrush in the vagina or mouth, athlete’s
foot, an itchy groin in men or women, vaginal discharge, mild skin
irritations.
Category #3 - the individual
is experiencing a number of problems on a weekly basis such as: gastrointestinal
problems, hormonal imbalances, food and environmental sensitivities
and allergies, headaches, fatigue, sinus and bronchial problems, anxieties,
occasional sleep disturbances, pain and discomfort in the joints and
limbs, canker sores in the mouth, thrush in the vagina or mouth, athlete’s
foot, an itchy groin in men or women, vaginal discharge, skin irritations
or have had surgery on an organ.
Category #4 - the individual
may be suffering sleep disorders including difficulty going to sleep
and/or waking up during the night, depressions, constant fatigue,
pain and discomfort in the joints and limbs, temperature fluctuations,
eye-sight problems, chronic gastrointestinal problems such as constant
constipation, presence of cysts, endometriosis, irritable bowel syndrome,
colitis, ulcers, kidney stones, serious skin conditions, migraine
headaches, nightmares, elevated sugar or cholesterol problems, high
or low blood pressure, arthritis and rheumatism.
Category #5 - the individual
has been diagnosed with a serious heart condition, HIV, AIDS, Cancer,
MS, Parkinson’s or any other life threatening condition.
Just as each category can determine the level of problem, there is
an ideal type of diet for each category, and so we can take a quick
look at
WHAT TO EAT PER DAY, BASED ON THE FIVE CATEGORIES
