Candida, Yeast Infection Blog 4U

A full body cleanse should include many elements: candida, parasite, colon, liver/gall bladder, and kidney cleanses.  The question is what should the order of the cleanses be!  There is a lot of conflicting data out there on the web, but from my experience this is the order that I would do things in.  If you do not have a particular issue, you would just skip that step.

1.  Colon Cleanse
2.  Heavy Metal Detox
3.  Kidney Flush
4.  Candida cleanse
5.  Parasite cleanse
6.  Liver/Gall Bladder flush
7.  Heal the Leaky Gut with l-glutamine

You can accomplish some of these things at the same time.  The colon cleanse could certainly be done at the same time that you are detoxing from heavy metals.  And the parasite cleanse could be started toward the end of the candida cleanse.  However, you must be aware that your body can only deal with so many toxins at one time.  Doing all of this at once will be very difficult for you and may even be dangerous to your system (at the very least you could be very uncomfortable or even sick). 

So, be patient!  You didn’t get in this shape overnight; it will take a while to heal.  The effort, however, is well worth it in terms of your long term wellness.

Do you have candida?  That is always the question. Yes, you may have the symptoms, but do you actually have the condition.  Some of us are willing to get going on killing the candida without having any emperical data; but, it is always good to know if you have candida, how bad the condition is to start with, and where you end up. 

There are a couple of different tests that can be done.

1.  There is always a saliva test for candida.  Doctors are coming to realize more and more that saliva tests are a very accurate representation of what is going on in the body at that particular point in time.  Hormone tests for women are done with saliva and are very accurate.  There is also a saliva test for candida that can be done at home.  This test can be done through the candida cleanse and will usually indicate your progress.  The results for this test may actually be worse than when you started for the first 6-8 weeks, because it indicates active yeast in the system. As you start to kill the candida with a cleanse the candida will become more active as it is exiting the body, so the test will look worse. the saliva test actually correlates quite well with blood tests.

Here is how to do a saliva test for candida:

When you awake in the morning, before you put anything into your mouth, work up some saliva and spit it into a clear glass of water.  You may want to spit in the glass 3 or 4 times, just make sure you have enough saliva in the glass to cover the surface of the water.  You want to observe the reaction of the saliva in the glass about every few minutes for up to 30 minutes. If there are strings coming down from your saliva, if the water turned cloudy, or if your saliva sank to the bottom, you probably have candida You may want to put out a glass of water in the bathroom or on the nightstand the night before you wish to do the test just to remind yourself not to brush your teeth prior to spitting into the glass.

(Yes, we have seen people test negative for yeast with this test.  If you do NOT have a yeast concern, your saliva should stay at the top of the glass and will eventually dissipate.)

2.  Live Blood Analysis: If you can find a naturopathic doctor in your area that does live blood analysis, this is also a good option.  In Live blood Analysis, the doctor will take a sample of your blood and analyze it under a microscope.  The doctor should be able to see candida in the blood sample if your candida is leaking into your blood stream from the digestive tract.  You may also be able to see parasites, anemic conditions and other issues with the blood.  The only weakness with this is it will not indicate candida that is not in the blood stream.  If your candida issue is confined to the digestive system; the live blood analysis may not pick it up.

3. The last test must be performed by a diagnostic lab and will need to be ordered by a physician.  This blood test is a Candida Antibodies and Antigen panel.  It will pick up the current levels of candida in your body and may also give an indication of past infections.  What is nice about this test is that it will let you know what your actual levels of candida are.  This can give you an idea of how bad the issue is and how far you have to go to get well.  You can also repeat this test through the cleansing process and will know for certain when you are down to non-reactive levels of candida.  The Candida Antibodies and antigen Panel will measure IgG, IgA, and IgM and Candida Antigen levels in the blood.  If the Candida Antigen measure is over 592, you have a substantial candida concern.  Any measure under 300 is considered a negligible candida problem. US Biotek Laboratories, Inc can perform this test for you.  Their website address is: www.usbiotek.com, phone number is: 1-877-318-8728.

The test you choose is very dependent on your personal circumstances. Very rarely are any of these test covered by insurance.  I have listed the tests in order from the least expensive to the most expensive.

Hope this is helpful for you!

Candida albicans is a common yeast that is in every human on earth.  This organism is always present in small amounts in the human body and is not generally a problem unless it overgrows or converts into its mycelial fungal form.  Candida is pronounced as “can-de-duh”, but many people will also pronounce it as “can-dee-duh”.

But, how does one get the bad form of candida?  Antibiotics are the most common way to get candida.  However, other pharmacuetical drugs will also cause a candida overgrowth - Prednisone and chemotherapy treatments are  also big contributors; although not as common as antibiotics, they will create candida more aggressively than antibiotics will.  Another way to get candida in its bad form is through a lot of chronic stress.  Poor diet will also contribute to this condition.

This is the final installment of the “How to do a Liver/GallBladder Flush”  This article is also from “The Cure of all Diseases” by Dr. Hulda Clark.

 How well did you do?  Expect diarrhea in the morning. Use a flashlight, if necessary, to look for gallstones in the toilet with the bowel movement.  Look for the green kind since this is proof that they are genuine gallstones, not food residue.  Only bile from the liver is pea green.  The bowel movement sinks, but gallstones float because of the cholesterol inside.  Count them all roughly, whether tan of green.  You will need to total 2,000 stones before the liver is clean enough to rid you of allergies or bursitis or upper back pains permanently.  The first cleanse may rid you of them for a few days, but as the stones from the rear travel forward, they may give you the same symptoms again.  You may repeat the cleanse at two week intervals.  Never cleanse when you are ill.
    Sometimes the bile ducts are full of cholesterol crystals that did not form into round stones.  They appear as “chaff” floating on top of the toilet bowl water. It may be tan colored, harboring millions of tiny white crystals.  Cleansing this chaff is just as important as purging stones.
    How safe is the liver cleanse?  It is very safe.  My opinion (Hulda Clark’s) is based on over 500 cases, including many persons in their seventies and eighties.  None went to the hospital; none even report pain.  However, it can make you feel quite ill for one or two days afterward; although, in every one of these cases the maintenance parasite program had been neglected.  This is why the instructions direct you to complete the parastie and kidney rinse programs first.

CONGRATULATIONS!!  You have taken out your gallstones without surgery!

This Liver Cleanse is taken from : “The Cure for All Diseases”, by Dr Hulda Clark. I have done this cleanse myself and found it very easy and inexpensive to do and very effective!  Please bear in mind that I am not a doctor. I am placing this out here for informational purposes only.  Although this procedure has been proven to be safe, there are still some risks associated with doing it.

Preparation: 
1.  You can’t clean a liver with living parasites in it. You won’t get any stones, and you will feel quite sick.  Zap daily the week before, or get through the first three weeks of a parasite killing program before attempting a liver cleanse.  If you are on a maintenance parasite program, you are always ready to do the cleanse. 
2.  A kidney cleanse is also highly recommended before cleansing the liver.  You want your kidney, bladder and urinary tract in top working condition so they can efficiently remove any undesirable substances incidentally absorbed from the intestine as the bile is being excreted.
3.  Do any dental work first, if possible.  Your mouth should be metal free and bacteria free (cavitations are cleaned).  A toxic mouth can put a heavy load on the liver, burdening it immediately have cleansing.  Eliminate that problem first for best results.

Ingredients - What you will need:
Epsom salts - 4 tablespoons
Olive Oil - 1/2 cup (light or extra light oil is easier to get down)
Fresh Pink Grapefruit - 2 or 3, enough to get 3/4 cup of fresh juice
Ornithine (w/ arginine) - 4 to 8 capsules, to be sure you can sleep. 
Large Plastic Straw - to help drink potion
Quart Jar with lid
Pint jar with lid

Choose a day like Saturday for the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day.  Take no medicines, vitamins or pills that you can do without; they could prevent success.  Stop any parasite program or kidney herbs the day before the cleanse, too.

Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal with fruit, fruit juice, bread and preserves or honey (no butter or milk), baked potato or other vegetables with salt only.  This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver.  Higher pressure pushes out more stones.

2:00 PM - Do not eat or drink after 2 o’clock.  If you break this rule you could fell quite ill later.  Get your Epsom salts ready.  Mix 4 tbsp in 3 cups water and pour into a jar.  This makes four servings, 3/4 cup each.  Set the jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold (this is for convenience and taste only).

6:00 PM - Drink one serving (3/4 cup) of the ice cold Epsom salts.  If you did not prepare this ahead of time, mix 1 tbsp in 3/4 cup water now.  You can add 1/8 tsp of powdered vitamin C to improve the taste.  It seems to be best to suck this down as quickly as you can with the fat straw to minimize the contact with your taste buds.  You can also rinse your mouth out with water afterward to wash the taste out ofyour mouth.
 - Get the Olive Oil and Grapefruit out to warm up. -

8:00 PM - Repeat by drinking another 3/4 cup of Epsom salts.  You haven’t eaten since 2:00 PM, but you won’t feel hungry.  Get your bedtime chores done.  The time is critical for success; don’t be more than 10 minutes early or late.

9:45 PM - Pour 1/2 cup (measured) olive oil into the pint jar.  Squeeze the grapefruit by hand into the measuring cup.  Remove any pulp with a fork.  You should have 3/4 cups of grapefruit juice.  Add this to the olive oil. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit does this).  Now visit the bathroom one or more times, even if it makes you late for your ten o’clock drink.  You may be experiencing diarrhea at this point. Don’t be more than 15 minutes late.

10:00 PM - Drink the potion of grapefruit and olive oil that you have mixed.  Take 4 ornithine capsules with the first sips to make sure you will sleep through the night.  Take 8 if you already suffer from insomnia.  Drinking the potion through a large plastic straw helps it go down easier.  You may use ketchup, cinnamon, or brown sugar to chase it down between sips.  Take it to your bedside if you wish, but drink it standing up.  Get it down within 5 minutes (fifteen minutes for very elderly or weak persons).
Lie down immediately.  You might fail to get stones out if you don’t. The sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out.  Be ready for bed ahead of time.  Don’t clean up the kitchen.  As soon as the drink is down walk to your bed and lie flat on your back with your head up high on the pillow.  Try to think about what is happening in the liver.  Try to keep perfectly still for at least 20 minutes.  You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile duct like marbles.  There is no pain because the bile ducts are open (thank you Epsom salts!). Go to sleep, you may fail to get stones out if you don’t.  You can sleep on your back or on your right side with your right leg curled up and your left leg straight.

Next morning:  Upon awakening take your third dose of Epsom salts.  If you have indigestion or nausea wait until it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts.  You may go back to bed.  Don’t take the Epsom salts before 6:00 AM.

2 hours later: Take your fouth and last dose of Epsom salts.  Drink 3/4 cup of the mixture. You may go back to bed.

After 2 more hours you may eat.  Start with fruit juice. Half and hour later eat fruit.  One hour later you may eat regular food but keep it light.  By supper you should feel recovered.

If in the next day or so you develop a feeling of pressure just below the ribs, right of the center line you may have a few gallstones that are hung up.  Mix 1 ounce of olive oil and 1 ounce of lemon juice and take this 4-6 times for up to 1 or 2 days.  Any residual stones should come out the next day.

Good luck!

The liver is our filter; it helps to clear toxins and cholesterol from the body.  But, like any filter, it could use an occasional cleaning out.  When you are cleansing candida, heavy metals or losing a lot of weight, I believe it is possible for the liver to essentially fill up with these residual materials which may make the liver sluggish.  After your candida cleanse is done, it would be a good idea to perform a liver flush. The way to get your liver functioning perfectly again is to flush it out. I saw this article in a book called “The Cure for All Diseases” and thought I would publish a copy of that for you.  Here is some preliminary information.  The recipe for a liver flush will be in Part II.

Cleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of your whole health.  You can expect your allergies to disappear, too, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain.  You will have more energy and an increased sense of well being.  “Cleaning the liver bile ducts is the most powerful procedure that you can do to improve your body’s health.  But it should not be done before parasite program, and for best results should follow a kidney cleanse and any dental work you need.”   It is the job of the liver to make bile., 1 to 1/2 quarts in a day!  The liver is full of tubes (biliary tubing) that deliver the bile to one large tube (the common bile duct).  The gallbladder is attached to the common bile duct and acts as a storage reservoir.  Eating fat or protein triggers the gallbladder to squeeze itself empty after about twenty minutes, and the stored bile finishes its trip down the common bile duct to the intestine. 

For many persons, including children, the biliary tubing is choked with gallstones. Some develop allergies or hives but some have no symptoms.  When the gallbladder is scanned or X-Rayed nothing is seen.  Typically, the (gallstones) are not in the gallbladder. Not only that, most are too small and not calcified, a prerequisite for visibility on X-Ray.  There are over half a dozen varieties of gallstones, most of which have cholesterol crystals in them.  They can be black, red, white, green or tan colored.  The green ones get their color from being coated with bile.  Other stones are composites - made of many smaller ones - showing that they regrouped in the bile ducts some time after the last cleanse. 

Optimally, liver cleanses should be done twice per year to maintain good health.

next… the recipe for a one day liver cleanse.

So you don’t have access to a sauna, but would like to have the advantages of a sauna at home.  Here is a home grown version of how to break out in a healing sweat!!

 Perhaps you have heard of the idea of sweating out a cold. Well, it really works! Native Americans used a sweat lodge to do this therapy, but you can also use a sauna if it is available to you. Since most of us don’t have a sauna or sweat lodge, here’ show to do a “sweat bath” at home.

Brew up some Yarrow or Chamomile tea. You are going to drink this while you relax in a hot bath.  If you don’t want tea, sip on warm water.  Now, draw a bath as hot as you can comfortabl tolerate. Optionally, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oils, or 10 opened capsules of ginger to the bath.  Sit in the bath and drink warm liquids for about 15-20 minutes. 

Get out of the bath, dry off, go to bed and pile on the blankets.  Continue to drink plenty of liquids until you start perspiring.  It’s amazing how quickly this can break up colds, flu and many other acute ailments.

Note: If you have high blood pressure, please consult with your doctor before doing a sauna.

ThreeLac is a probiotic that really works to eliminate candida infections in almost everyone.  I work with people every day and help them to make decisions concerning the use of ThreeLac and I have seen ThreeLac work to eliminate candida effectively time and time again.

 The advantages to ThreeLac:
1.  It is a powder, which makes it easy to take.
2.  It tastes good (like lemon)!
3.  It does not require refrigeration to maintain potency.
4.  It is microencapsulated which ensures that 80-85% of ThreeLac will get beyond the stomach acid to get at the candida in the gut.
5.  The blend of probiotic in ThreeLac is unique and effective against candida.
6.  The candida does NOT become immune to the ThreeLac.
7.   ThreeLac is SAFE! It is imported from Japan and is inspected by the FDA regularly.
8.   It is guaranteed!

The biggest concern with ThreeLac is that the product is so powerful it can sometimes create significant cleansing reactions as your body heals.  As your body heals, the dead candida will become a toxin and the candida that are left may put more toxins into the system.  This may create an overload of toxicity in your system that can cause significant cleansing reactions like headaches, fatigue, skin rashes or itchiness.  These sorts of reactions mean that the process is working, but can be uncomfortable. Fortunately, this is very easy to remedy.  Take a soluble fiber containing apple pectin and pysillium hull! These solube fibers will absorb the dead candida and other toxins and pull them from your body through your bowel movements.  People with severe candida infections or who are very sensitive should take less ThreeLac to start with - this is easy to do because ThreeLac is a powder. Just measure into a measuring spoon and take it.

Symptoms that ThreeLac works on first:
1. digestive distress (gas/bloating/acid reflux)
2. Urinary tract (chronic infections)
3. Vaginal yeast infections (in women)
4. Chronic sinusitis (you will either see a dramatic clearing of the sinuses or an increase in drainage, which may last 6-8 weeks and then gradual - but significant - clearing).
5. Skin rashes (true yeast rashes heal very quickly - some people may see a difference in just a few days)
6. Chronic Diarhhea (I have had people see an improvement in less than 1 week).

Symptoms that take a while to respond:
1. White tongue (usually the last thing to clear)
2. Fibromyalgia (it is necessary to take an excellent magnesium supplement along with the ThreeLac)
3. Chronic sinusitis (if you are one of the people who experiences a lot of drainage, this may take 6-8 weeks to see a significant improvement).
4. Excess phlegm or throat clearing (you should see a difference in 6-8 weeks.)

Candida cleansing creates a lot of toxins in the body.  Not only do you have the dead candida to contend with, but you also have the extra toxins that the still living candida puts out.  Many people do not realize that when they cleanse, the reason they may feel “bad” is because of the toxins generated from the cleanse.  If you feel poorly for more than 3 or 4 days, you are toxic.

If you are toxic, a dry sauna may be very helpful in eliminating toxins quickly and effectively.  Dry saunas eliminate toxins like pesticides, preservatives, chemicals and heavy metals through the skin.  This can relieve the pressures of candida cleansing.  A good sweat will flush the body, speed up metabolism and kill harmful bacteria and even some viruses.  The dry sauna will help to speed healing and increases immune response.  Dry sauna, wet sauna and steam baths are extremely beneficial, especially four to six times per month or about 5 to 7 days for 30 minutes or more for dry sauna and 15 minutes or so for a wet sauna or steam.

Note: If you have high blood pressure, please consult with your doctor before doing a sauna.

People with candida often struggle with nutritional deficiencies.  Magnesium is the very most common of these.  Candida makes your system acidic and your body will utilize its magnesium stores to try to keep your ph near a nuetral 7.0 ph. If your ph is acidic (less than 6.5) then you are probably deficient in minerals and will need to take a mineral supplement to help you balance your ph.  Magnesium seems to be one of the deficiencies that is very easy to determine if you have based on the symptoms that you experience.  If you are struggling with:

insomnia
muscle twitching
leg cramps
menstrual cramps
constipation
difficulty swallowing
headaches
a lump in the throat (severe deficiency)
anxiety
depression
panic attacks
heart palpitations or racing

you are magnesium deficient.  This is an easy fix!  Simply take an excellent magnesium supplement.  You want to take something that contains elemental magnesium as citrate or gluconate. The supplement should be delivered in a liquid form.  Natural Calm Magnesium is the very best supplement for resolving these symptoms quickly - sometimes in a matter of just a few minutes.  The BEST thing about this is that magnesium supplements are cheap! You can find some at: http://www.best-magnesium-citrate.com.
