All About Candida

Candida Albicans has become a household word for many health-conscious Americans.  Candida is a yeast that lives in the human digestive system.  Candida is kept at low levels by the friendly bacteria that also reside in the digestive tract.  The friendly bacteria feed on the Candida, and thus a balance in the body is maintained.  However, antibiotics, birth control pills, cortisone and chemotherapy can kill this friendly bacteria.

Once this friendly bacteria has been destroyed, the yeast begins to overgrow and take over the digestive system.  Left untreated, it becomes a fungus and grows into a plant-like structure complete with roots.  These roots can break through the intestinal walls, allowing the yeast to travel to other areas of the body such as the sinuses, throat, reproductive organs, the lungs and skin - just to name a few.

Candida is capable of producing, over 100 symptoms.  This makes it extremely frustrating for anyone with this condition to find out exactly what is wrong with them.  Billions are spent each year on antibiotics, creams, nasal sprays, unnecessary hospital visits, operations, antidepressants, etc. due to misdiagnosis of this disease.

Look over the list of all the possible symptoms Candida can cause, and you will see why symptoms alone can mislead a doctor into treating a “major symptom” and miss the true culprit.

POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS OF CANDIDA

As you can see, the symptoms are numerous and varied. Many times people give up on ever finding out what was wrong with them because these symptoms seem so unrelated.

Symptoms can vary according to one’s diet.  Sugar, alcohol, starches, fermented foods, sweets (even fruits) will increase symptoms by feeding the yeast organisms.  This will cause them to grow and release more toxins which will produce more symptoms.

Candida Test 

You can try this simple test to see if you may have Candida.  First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, get a clear glass.  Fill with water and work up a bit of saliva, then spit it into the glass of water.  Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour.  If you have Candida, you may see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or “cloudy” saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water.  If there are no strings and the saliva is still floating after at least one hour, it is possible that you may not have Candida.

Candida Treatment

The CranioBiotic Technique (CBT) is a totally unique and powerful treatment for Candida.  This revolutionary treatment stimulates your own immune system to eliminate the Candida overgrowth.  No more than 4 successive CBT treatments are usually necessary, as long as you strictly adhere to the anti-Candida diet and take the prescribed probiotic supplements.  Following your last treatment, the diet must be strictly followed for one additional week in order to prevent the Candida from returning.  No matter what you may read on the internet, no Candida treatment is effective unless you also strictly adhere to an anti-Candida diet.

Do not start the Candida treatments unless you are totally committed to following this treatment Program.  If you have even a small amount of food or beverage that is prohibited, more treatments (and expense) will be necessary to eliminate your Candida.  You must carefully read the ingredients of anything you put in your mouth.  Never assume that a certain food or beverage is safe to consume until you have thoroughly checked the ingredients.

After each Candida treatment, you may experience mild to moderate fatigue or headaches.  This results from toxins being released into your blood stream from the Candida that has been destroyed. Be sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day while being treated.  This will help to flush the toxins from your colon.  You should be having at least two bowel movements a day while being treated.  It is OK to take natural bowel stimulants or laxatives in order to accomplish this.  Colonics can also be very helpful during this time.

Candida can be passed from one Spouse to the other.  It is, therefore, a very good idea to have your significant other checked for Candida.  A mother who has Candida can also infect her children when she is pregnant or through breast-feeding.  If you would like any family member to be checked for Candida, we will be happy to do so at no charge.
