Although most people want to know the most effective way for them to kill candida, the next question on thier mind is how long is this going to take? Well, it is going to take a while.  Candida killing is not something that can occur over night.  There are some things you can take (Diflucan, for example) that will offer pretty quick relief, but I feel that Diflucan only causes the symptoms to subside...

They have actually done a study. No surprise: herbs, supplements and vitamins have caused ZERO deaths in 2009. Can any of the pharm. drugs say that same thing? I doubt it! Check out this article: http://bit.ly/4JNqa8 To your health! LeanneF

When a person is toxic the lymphatic system may become overloaded.  A sign that the lymph system is overloaded may be tenderness of the skin, swollen lymph nodes, hard nodules in the back of the head or other areas of the body, excessive sweating (especially in the area of the neck and down to the chest).  There is a very simple way to help your lymph system do its job; I have detailed that method...

The Ileocecal valve is often a weak spot for people with candida. It is located on the lower right abdomen between the belly button and right hip bone.  The Ileocecal is a sphincter muscle that acts as a one way valve between the small and large intestine.  This valve prevents the reflux of colon contents into the ileum. If it is open you may see tenderness and twinges in or around its location...

Whew…. it has already been a busy week.  I know that tomorrow I will be way too busy creating a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for family to get on and BLOG away so I am getting my writing done a little early. Here is what am I thankful for: I am so very thankful for my family (Tom and the kids) and our extended family, too.  We have gotten together at Thanksgiving or Christmas almost every...

If you are on city water it is very possible that the water you use in your household in chlorinated.  If you aren’t filtering your water to remove chlorine, you should go right out and get a Brita filter or some other filtering device.  The Chlorine chemical is a halogen and in gas form it can literally kill you – having this is your drinking water isn’t a good idea. The reason...

Birth control pills work by introducing extra hormones into a woman’s system.  Most birth control pills contain both estrogen and progesterone; these hormones work on the reproductive system in such a way that an egg is not produced during the month.  As estrogen is a candida feeder, the extra hormones in the birth control pills may cause candida to overgrow.  Although I do not feel that birth...

Hormone Replacement Therapy is used by many women over the age of 47 or so or who have had a hysterectomy to fight menopausal symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness.  Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) works by providing extra estrogen to the body to replace the hormones that are now lacking in the body.  For some people, it has been miraculous in how well it helps the body...
