Don’t be fooled by fruit, some books on yeast infection I have read state that “fruit is safe to eat by those with a yeast infection”. This is simply untrue, candida proliferates by consuming and fermenting sugars like sucrose, fructose and other simple sugars, that’s how it lives and thrives. The less sugar you eat, the less chance candida can thrive and the sooner you will beat that yeast infection. What you will most probably know is that most fruits contain sugars, especially a sugar named fructose, a sugar which is twice as sweet as sucrose.

Caution with HFCS – High Fructose Corn Syrup

Today, most human fructose intake comes from high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a man-made sugar composed of 65% sucrose and 35% glucose. This abundant sugar is used to sweeten just about every processed food because it is cheap and mixes well with many different kinds of foods, many health experts are now viewing HCFS as being a toxic addition to our diets, it just increases our sugar intake needlessly, and along with it the risk of a candida yeast overgrowth. Did you know that soda drinks account for 33% intake of a person’s fructose intake these days? An average 600ml can of soda drink contains nearly 36 grams of HFCS fructose, and experts tell us to limit our total fructose intake to no more than 25 grams per day.

So what fruits and sweeteners contain the highest amount of fructose? Well I’m glad you asked, because I took the time to compile a list for your benefit. Try to avoid those fruits and sweet additions to your diet with the highest fructose intake at least until you feel a lot better in your digestive tract, experience a lot less bloating, gas and irregular bowel motions. Is it any surprise that dried fruits contain the highest amount of fructose? So please do avoid all dried fruits until you feel much better.

As you improve, slowly increase your intake of fresh fruits first, the ones with the lowest fructose intake, and remember not to include dried fruits until much later. Be prepared to remove any high fructose fruits until you improve and drop back to the lower fructose containing frits like berries, especially if you aggravate when you re-introduce the higher fructose containing fruits during the reintroduction stage of the Candida Crusher Diet.

Always follow the Kill Stage with the Build Stage. Some women may complete a few Kill Stages and then do the Build Stage, as they experience more relief that way, whereas others will get a good result by just rotating these Stages. You will need to experiment to see what works best for you.

Wait at least two days after you have completed the Kill Stage before you commence this Stage, you need to get the beneficial vaginal bacteria built up a bit more.

Do not complete this stage during the period itself; the Kill Stage is OK during your period however, but do skip treatments on your heaviest flow days.

If you want to avoid any aggravations, you don’t need to be as careful with the Build Stage as you do with the Kill Stage if you have a history of premenstrual difficulties (PMT or PMS), endometriosis, or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). But you will need to use common sense, and if you have experienced and serious genito-urinary complaint then you should always go very slow at the start until you gain more confidence and experience.

The BUILD Stage – The Pro-biotic Implant Protocol

Mix together:

• High potency Probiotic powder 1 teaspoon

• Low fat plain yoghurt 10 ml or the whey on top of the yogurt (straw like fluid).

• Use a 10 ml syringe or applicator to insert the mixture well into the vagina, in the evening before bed.

• Wear a sanitary napkin (maxi is best) or panty pad to bed.

• My advice is NOT to use a tampon here; the best feedback I get from women (several hundred) is when they use pads.

• In the morning, cleanse with a douche of 300-400 ml of boiled or filtered water mixed with 1 level teaspoon of powdered probiotic.

• Repeat each evening for 7 days.

• Is the infection not clear after 7 days of this regime, then consider other organisms such as Chlamydia or Trichomoniasis that may be present. You may want to visit your doctor and have a pelvic exam to determine what is going on.

• In some cases a stronger antimicrobial treatment is required.

• Follow the KILL & BUILD protocol several times a year to help maintain a healthy vaginal environment.

• Always use this protocol in conjunction with the Candida Crusher Program recommendations. You will have a much better chance of an excellent outcome that way. Do the diet, maintain the lifestyle and do the local treatment.

• Using this protocol and this alone (while maintaining the underlying cause) will only give you temporary results. And that’s not what you bought the Candida Crusher, I expect that you want a permanent result.

The Pro-Biotic Powder and Whey Douche

There are a few options and variations to this yogurt douche protocol, and some very effective ones too. One of the best douche protocols is the pro-biotic powder and whey douche (Build). This is a variation on the plain yogurt douche, and can be used even more successfully if alternated with the Tea Tree oil douche (Kill) mentioned below. You will notice that this method like the vaginal implant protocol has a build phase (the pro-biotic powder and whey douche) as well as the Tea Tree Oil douche (the kill phase).

Using this two-step kill and then build protocol is the key to success in chronic vaginal thrush, and is not emphasized enough in most all books I have read on this topic.

It is a particularly rich source of lactic acid and a great natural product you can use to most successfully eradicate a vaginal yeast infection. Simply mix a level teaspoon of a top quality pro-biotic powder (Lactobacillus acidophilus) in about a half-tablespoon of whey solution and a little tepid water. Be sure to use tepid or room temperature water as well as whey solution, as this will be your vaginal douche solution. Insert using an applicator and use a pad as mentioned above. Leave overnight preferably like the yogurt douche.

The main purpose of the first phase of the 3-step plan for male yeast infections is to reduce inflammation and wipe out both bacteria and yeast infections. You’re going to need some Manuka honey and about 30 minutes.

Where do you get Manuka honey?

You can buy it online at Amazon or in the whole foods section of your (good) health food store.

What type of manuka honey should you get?

You should get the one with the highest UMF® rating (Unique Manuka Factor) you can afford, which is essentially this unique honey’s non-peroxide antibacterial activity level, the higher the UMF level, the more antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory the honey is. A manuka honey with a 15 – 16 UMF rating is very good, but one with a 30+ rating is superb. The higher the UMF number the better and the higher grades are priced accordingly. It is not always possible to get a manuka honey with a rating higher than 18 – 20, and this level of UMF is generally plenty.

Please be aware that about twice as much manuka honey is sold worldwide than is produced in New Zealand, and that a lot of manuka honey sold in the U.S. is likely to be counterfeit, either because the activity is lower than stated on the label or because it is not pure manuka honey. Therefore, it is important to purchase honeys produced by apiaries listed on the Unique Manuka Factor Association website and that carry the UMF certification.

The Main Benefits of this Cleanse: Manuka honey treatment can give significant relief from the itching and burning of male yeast infections involving the penis, scrotum, the perineum and the inner thigh.

What You Need: One to two tablespoons of New Zealand manuka honey, preferably with a high UMF rating, add one finely chopped clove of fresh garlic. Warm the honey gently in a cup, jar or bowl suspended in hot water, which takes about ten minutes. Mix in the honey and leave it for five minutes.

The Method: For quick relief, apply the manuka honey and garlic mix and apply it to the affected areas of skin. Apply it liberally to the affected skin and let it sit under the foreskin (if you are uncircumcised), in and around the scrotum and/or the upper inner thigh region.

Manuka honey has been shown clinically to be strongly anti-inflammatory in addition to being anti-bacterial and anti-fungal by nature. Some experts have rated manuka honey as one of the best skin healers as it heals without harming even the most delicate skin of your body, including your penis and scrotum. Many studies have shown that manuka honey not only kills bacteria but that it is great for yeast infections and any inflamed skin in general. You will find it most pleasant on the delicate areas of skin affected by yeast.

After 30 minutes or longer, wash the affected skin areas with an apple cider vinegar and water solution.
