5 Main Features of Candida Crusher Treatment Plan

2 Comments

Each is critical to the successful eradication of a yeast infection. You’ll soon understand why.

Understanding Digestion and Nutrition

If you want to recover quickly and completely, let’s begin by recommending a good cleanse followed by the Candida Crusher Diet. Most people will benefit from a brief bowel cleanse out before we commence; I call this cleansing stage the Big Clean-Up. You will learn foods to eat and the best way to eat those foods. Eat the right foods for as long as it takes and starve out the fungus to stop it reproducing. The three-stage diet I’ve been using for years is proven and has been used on many thousands of patients in my clinic with great affect.

I’ll explain, in section 1, all about diet and nutrition in much detail and most all of your candida dietary questions will be answered. Section 1 is your top pri­ority, it is by far the biggest section of the book and my many dietary recom­mendations are at the heart of this successful program.

Candida Crushing Immunity – Understanding Immunity, Metabolites and Stress

Many people don’t know about the metabolites that candida produces. I’ll explain in detail and show you what you can do about them. You will learn how to rebuild your immune system and restore the integrity of your metabolism and stress axis by understanding how stress can affect your immune system. Many candida sufferers have varying degrees of stress related health complaints that can and should be improved, and by doing so you will pave the way for a successful and permanent eradication of your yeast infection. This key information is missing in most books on this topic.

Candida Crushing Cleansing – Understanding Cleansing and Detox

A good detoxification program is one of the most positive health builders you can do after you have beaten your yeast infection. You will learn about my 3 stage cleansing program. This section outlines the most efficient ways to cleanse and detoxify your body, and I’ll also mention heavy metal toxicity and more advanced concepts.

Candida Crusher Eradication – Learn about Special Foods, Supplements and Herbs

Do you want to know the best foods to eat that aid in suppressing and eradicating a yeast overgrowth? This section shows you the most beneficial foods that help and the specific Candida Crusher nutritional supplement formulations I have researched and developed after twenty years of working with patients just like you. I’ll teach you the best ones to take and explain exactly why and when you need them. Without correctly and thoroughly eradicating the yeast infection and re-populating your digestive system with beneficial bacteria, you will be only half doing the job and risk a recurrence of yeast related problems. And, you don’t need to spend a fortune and take dozens of different supplements for life either.

Candida Crusher Lifestyle – Understanding the Healthy Lifestyle

Some of the book’s most important information is contained in this fifth and last section, as it will teach you how to remain candida-free for life. This stage explains how to reduce your current risk factors for not only candida, but for a host of other diseases as well. Section 5 explains about the importance of sleep, relaxation, exercise and meditation and shows you how to stay away from the perpetrators of candida overgrowth. This final section will outline how to put your personal candida program all together.

Keep reading and make sure you let me know what questions you have as you work through the book itself.

Difference Between Conventional Medicine and Natural Solution for Candida Yeast Infections

9 Comments

Less than one hundred years ago all health complaints were treated with natural methods, which is today seen as an alternative to science based healthcare.

What was once normal and even practiced by conventional doctors of the day is now frowned upon as fringe medicine.

Modern science and the expensive marketing of powerful and profitable pharmaceutical drugs have ensured that the modern approach is in favor of the drug-based approach. This trend has been slowly but surely reversing the past two decades, as many people are now demanding a more natural and side effect free approach towards their healthcare. While I firmly believe that the conventional science based approach to medicine has its place, conventional treatment relies on powerful chemical based medicines that only suppress symptoms. Natural treatments work more indirectly by strengthening the body’s innate healing responses and in finding the actual causes rather than just relying on treating the symptoms. Many patients come to us seeking assistance with their yeast infections because they have not only become disillusioned with a lack of permanent results, they have become concerned about the risks and potentially serious side effects of the drug-based approach and want to finally get to the root cause of their health problems.

Your health can be improved profoundly with the help of an experienced practitioner of natural medicine or medical doctor who has a good working knowledge of natural medicine. If you want to stay remain under the care of a conventional medical doctor, it is preferable that your doctor has had formal training in natural medicine, and doctors who have had this kind of training have become medical practitioners initially, and then furthered their studies to include nutritional medicine and maybe even herbal medicine and homeopathy. Further they should know how to recognize a candida yeast infection.

You should be able to find an alternative doctor online in your country through a professional association. I have worked in medical clinics for fifteen years and come to know many alternative medicine doctors during that period of time. I can highly recommend any naturopath to spend a few years working alongside doctors to understand the medical system and to learn valuable skills they would otherwise never gain. In addition, it is also preferable that your natural health-care professional has a good understanding and respect for the conventional medical system and will know when to refer you on when necessary.

Today in the 21st century, many people are interested in the best of both worlds, i.e. the benefits that medical sciences as well as natural medicine have to offer combined.

People have become a lot more informed through the Internet these days, and more gentle forms of treatment are generally preferred with the least amount of intervention before powerful drugs or invasive procedures are employed. In this sense it is good to work in conjunction with an experienced naturopath who has undertaken high-level health science based training, or a medical doctor who has undertaken post-graduate natural medicine training. The ultimate is for you to form a relationship with both of these health-care professionals so that you can get a more balanced viewpoint when it comes to the treatment of your yeast infection and associated health problems.

Whichever way your candida yeast infection is treated, it is important for your practitioner to individualize your treatment, because bio-individuality is one of the major factors in achieving a successful course of yeast infection treatment with long lasting benefits to you, the patient.

Although people may share similar signs and symptoms of a yeast infection, some practitioners may try to give all patients with a candida diagnosis virtually an identical form of treatment. I have learned that yeast infection is similar to adrenal fatigue, there is often no single way that even two persons can have exactly the same signs and symptom patterns and therefore be treated identically.

Even identical twins have been found to have a different expression of the same illness. That is why they call a yeast infection a “syndrome”, which is a collection of signs and symptoms that can vary from person to person. And this may create more problems for the medical practitioner than it can for the natural medicine practitioner, because the doctor will treat the disease and its symptoms as individual illnesses, whereas the naturopath will treat the person as an individual and his or her symptoms as a whole.

Why Digestive Enzymes With Yeast Infections?

Heat Destroys Enzymes – The Less Heat The Better

If you are surprised that diseases are innumerable, count the cooks. Seneca (4 BC-AD 65)

By Eric Bakker N.D.

1172369_36721123A question I get asked regularly is this: “Why do I need to take enzymes because I have a yeast infection?”, and for this reason I wrote the following article. I read a book a few years ago called Enzyme Nutrition written by Dr. Edward Howell, and was surprised to discover that heating foods about 48 Centigrade (118 Fahrenheit) kills any enzymes in the food. Without enzymes in the foods you consume, your body has to start relying on producing an increasing amount of its own digestive enzymes to satisfy the demand. Those who eat refined or processed foods regularly will find that their digestion will begin to suffer, along with their energy and overall well being. Those with a Candida yeast infection will find that it is most important to maintain an excellent level of enzymes in their digestive system because candida does not like a gut associated with higher level of enzymatic activity. High enzymatic activity maintains a low pH (acid) environment in your stomach in particular, which discourages bad bacteria and yeasts from proliferating. Enzymes can also assist in busting open the cell walls of bacteria and yeasts, rendering them incapable of functioning.

Anybody with a yeast infection who is serious about recovery should remain on a enzyme formula until they have fully recovered; the difference they make is astonishing. Some of the best candida supplements contain enzymes for this very reason, and this is why I developed a product containing several different key enzymes along with probiotics to assist in not only in improving your digestion, but is destroying an intestinal yeast overgrowth directly while reducing inflammation, all at the same time.

Microwave Cooking Destroys Enzymes

Enzymes are not only intolerant to heat, but also to irradiation from microwaves, and this is a very good reason to avoid cooking any foods in a microwave oven. Pasteurization also kills off any enzymes, and the milk you buy from the supermarket is “dead” for this reason.

There is a big movement the past several years amongst many enlightened people who appreciate natural health, to start using real milk from the cow again just as nature had intended. I made an interesting discovery some years ago that many people who cannot tolerate milk due to food allergies or intolerances can often tolerate unpasteurized and unhomogenized fresh milk. It is because there are plenty of natural enzymes in real milk, enzymes that have become deactivated and destroyed by the heating and sterilizing process. Many raw and fresh foods such as milk contain their own highly specialized enzymes, and if these are supplied it will be that much easier for the body to process it.

Another interesting observation is that human beings the only creatures that cook their foods, and over the past few hundred years we have developed the tendency to cook or heat everything we put in our mouths. Health experts now believe that many humans die below half their potential lifespan, and that much of the development of our chronic and degenerative illness and most of the premature deaths we face can be put down to faulty dietary and lifestyle measures.

When you think about it for one moment, cooking is the most profound abuse of food. But don’t get me wrong, as I mentioned earlier, I’m certainly not a fan of eating everything raw. But to me, there is nothing more satisfying than biting into a fresh apple or a juicy tomato, or enjoying the smooth and creamy taste of a fresh avocado. Once we start to cook and bake foods we tend to load them up after either sugar, salt or a host of spices to bring out the flavors destroyed by cooking and make no mistake, the nutritional value will have vanished along with the color.

Isn’t it interesting that many health-conscious people of today steer clear of processed and refined foods, but will not think twice about placing foods in boiling water, wrapping it in aluminum foil, place it in a styrene container, or cook their foods in a microwave or in an conventional oven? These same health-conscious people tend to forget that heating foods to very high temperatures is actually processing foods. We have been told that the less food is processed, the better. Then why process nearly everything we eat, but then tell ourselves that supermarket foods are not OK because they are processed?

Just be aware of the fact that processed foods are not just foods you buy from supermarkets in packets, boxes and cans, they are also the healthy foods you cook to very high temperatures are home when you place them in the oven or microwave. Try to eat some fresh and raw foods each and every day, your digestion will improve and you will be amazed and delighted at the difference that eating “living” foods can make.

I love cats, and the healthiest cat I ever had was fed on one large, fresh sardine each day. I drove a garbage truck for several years when I was a naturopathy student and found a tiny little kitten in a garbage can on one of my rounds. I named it Wally, and fed my cat only on fresh and raw fish which I received regularly from a fish shop on my rounds. Everybody commented how amazingly beautiful Wally looked, his eyes and coat were the healthiest and shiniest of any cat I’ve ever owned, and I have no doubt it was his diet because he consumed every part of the sardine including the head, gut and even the scales. This is in stark contrast to how most people feed their cats, on highly processed biscuits or cooked canned foods.We currently have four cats, and one of our cats, a birman, prefers to eat raw meats like chicken and beef, in contrast to our tabby who only likes dried biscuit cat food. The difference in both the appearance and health between both these cats is amazing.

If you have the opportunity to feed your pet on fresh, raw and unprocessed foods, you will be absolutely amazed at the difference it can make. Imagine if you ate predominantly fresh, raw and unprocessed foods, your digestive problems would be solved literally in weeks or a couple of months, and your yeast infection would soon follow. And, you would look and feel amazing too!
