CANDIDA/YEAST LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT

**N.B.Since this is a very long program, we encourage you to print it out, for best viewing, on a BLACK AND WHITE PRINTER.

Candida Albicans is not a disease; it is a problem created by a condition of internal imbalance. This imbalance IN HUMANS is reaching epidemic proportions in North America.

Candida albicans is a fungus which occurs normally in our body's mucus membranes. e.g. the mouth, nose, digestive tract, vagina, skin - it even affects the nervous system.

In a healthy colon, this yeasty-type of fungus is kept in balance when the 'friendly flora(bacteria)' are strong and healthy. It will remain harmless until certain factors cause it to 'OVERGROW' (at this point it becomes a parasite) and the acidophilus or good/friendly bacteria are killed off. Once this imbalance occurs, a person will have a

1. First 10 - 14 days: a very strict diet to bring balance back to the body.

YOU MAY EAT FROM THIS LIST ONLY! - - -

• Grains:
• . Spelt .
• Brown rice .
• Millet .
• Quinoa .
• Amaranth .

Asparagus, beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, eggplant, green pepper (if no allergy to the 'night-shade' family), Greens e.g. spinach, chard, etc., Lettuce (not iceberg) Okra, Onions, parsley, radishes, soybeans, string beans, lentils, tomatoes(cooked)(also 'night-shade' familiy), turnips. **Organically grown veggies are best, less chemical content and more nutrient-rich**

• . butter. cold pressed virgin olive oil. unrefined Canola oil -*NO MARGARINE - It is considered by natural nutritionists to be 'plastic butter' due to the altering of its chemical structure by the hydrogenating of it - i.e. adding an extra molecule of hydrogen in order to create a soft, spreadable oil!

• . onion(pwd) . garlic (pwd/minced) . Sea Salt . VegeSal . Veggit . Lemon juice with oil for dressings

• . hot air popcorn . raw nuts e.g. almonds(no peanuts or pistachios as they commonly carry fungi) .rice or popcorn cakes . baking powder biscuits (use barley flour in place of wheat - replaces yeast breads)

• 8 - 10 glasses of WATER per day containing CHLOROPHYLL (juice of alfalfa plant). Green drinks are very important to deodorize and sanitize the tissues and waste!! Type O people should use Super Green Algae or Green Zone (NSP) -a green drink with very little alfalfa in it.

2. Poor DIGESTION encourages candida overgrowth. Therefore the digestive system will have to be reconditioned with
(i)** PLANT ENZYMES containing Protease (this will digest the Candida fungus and parasite eggs.)
(ii) Marshmallow & Pepsin If Hiatal Hernia present or small intestine causes a malabsorption problems
(iii) Comb. Three  (Kelp, Alfalfa & Dandelion) may be needed to replace lost minerals especially Potassium. It has gentle, diuretic action and will feed the thyroid gland.
(iv) Essential Liquid Minerals, Zambroza or, Nature's Gold made of organic, sprouted Barley

3. The ELIMINATION SYSTEM should be performing normally.- no odour, -not sticky so will not need toilet paper!!, -will float in the water. If stress in the bowel (rabbit-like stool) and less than two bowel movements a day use
***** CASCARA SAGRADA or LBSII with PSYLLIUM SEEDS capsules(1 caps. of each before bed and between meals - mid-morning with two glasses of water. Increase herbs by one caps, evening and morning, until 2 to 3 movements a day are established.

Good Bowel management is absolutely essential!!

4. For overall detoxification, use
(i)**** BLACK WALNUT Ext.(1/2 tsp 2 X day before bed and breakfast)
(ii)****CANDIDA HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY

Not usually available in Canada

5. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
requires a high quality, "yeast-free" natural Multi Vit/Mineral e.g.
**** SUPER VITAMINS AND MINERALS (NSP)with added
**** STRESS FORMULA, (NSP) a low-potency, yeast-free B vitamins with C.

5. EXERCISE:

• daily walk in fresh air and sunshine is very important to give you much needed OXYGEN to help make ENERGY (See Muscles)

6. REST: 6 - 8 hours per night.

• (i) Sleeping aid like HVP Combination taken 3 at a time every hour until sleep comes. When sleep pattern is established, use only as needed. CHAMOMILE TEA is also good.

**N.B. DAIRY, CONCENTRATED SUGARS(Candy) may have to be discontinued indefinitely.
However TOFU PRODUCTS such as ****TOFU MOO, a dairy substitute, and TOFU Curd, a cheese substitute, can be used provided one is not allergic to soy beans.

1) Complete the body balancing by continuing
(i)** ACIDOPHILOUS - gradually reducing to 2 Billion 4 times a day
(ii)** CHLOROPHYLL - always with your water or other Green drinks containing little alfalfa

2)** VIT A (Super Halibut Oil) with
** EVENING PRIMROSE OIL to provide necessary oils for moisturizing tissues, assisting the digestion of fats, and to help provide good muscle health.

NB - I have found that people need to do a TISSUE PARASITE CLEANSE following the above regime. Here it is -

(5) External environment needs to be carefully monitored -
(i) TEA TREE OIL - is antiseptic and anti-fungal
-add 1-2 drops to shampoo/conditioner, rinse water of laundry.
-mix 1-2 drops in bathroom cleaner for tiles, tub, shoes, pillows, mattress, even skin!
-use directly to finger and toe nails when fungus is present
-add 1 or 2 drops to bath water

***Cleaning products for kitchen, laundry, bathroom and personal cosmetics can have Tea Tree Oil added to them as an antiseptic. Nature's Sunshine Concentrate as a bio-degradable cleaner is also available.

6) Be sure your living conditions are free of petroleum products, solvents, dampness, moulds, dirty air from furnace ducts, smoke

7) If sexual disfunction (male or female) and/or PMS(in women) IS A PROBLEM use the following
(i) For females:
**** FCSII, FCS with DONG QUAI (Now known as Women's Formula) OR NF-X **N.B. However of these may increase fertility!! ****Wild Yam with Chaste Berry may be used as a natural Birth Control agent. Ask your health-care provider for info or

** E-mail us here
            If head-aches persist premenstrually, take B6 (about 200 mg / day)  during last 2 weeks of cycle or
            DANDELION (as mild diuretic)
(ii) for males:
**** Men's Formula, X-A, Siberian or Korean Ginseng. Beware! These products can improve the fertility too!!!

N.B. Candida can be passed from one partner to the other. Therefore both partners should follow the above regime

8) If there is 'pain' as in muscle and/or inflammation,
***** GraPine with Protectors or Hi-Potency GraPine taken along with
**** CAT'S CLAW have been very affective.

9)*** PLANT ENZYMES are also essential

10) If Immune System is low, Formulae like
*** NSP's IMM-C, Echinacea Purpurea or the IMMUNO PACK can be added 2 out of 4 weeks a month.

NOTE: If original symptoms return, go back to Phase II or restrict diet as in PHASE I for 10 days.

• Your energy level returns
• You sleep better
• Joint AND TISSUE pain disappear
• Memory improves
• Elimination becomes normal
• Excess weight begins disappearing

For one or two days (I did one day only the first time), drink ONLY APPLE JUICE, no solids unless you get really hungry - then you could EAT AN APPLE - raw or baked, but no sugar!! The apple juice begins dissolving any CALCIUM that may be contained in the crystals (stones/sand) - they are made of CA and Cholesterol!!! (Faulty fat metabolism!)

 After making the mixture up, take 2 gulps (approx. 1 oz.),set your stove timer for 15 minutes and go read a good book or watch a good movie - keeps your mind occupied!! When timer goes, take 2 more gulps, set timer, and return to occupation that is keeping your mind OFF YOUR CLEANSE. At the end of 2 hours, you should have consumed the whole 8 oz.!

 AT this point it is a good idea to have a disposable enema purchased from the drug store. There are no-name brands or the common name-brand is called a FLEET enema - very simple to do! -costs maybe $4 or $5. Women usually have no problem doing this. The instructions come with it. The purpose for this enema is to cleanse the lower bowel area so that there is NO interference for any 'jelly stones, etc. to be expelled the next day. It isn't an absolute necessity ! Just makes the cleanse simpler!

Following consuming of the mixture and/or enema go to bed LYING ON YOUR RIGHT SIDE - this keeps all the oil 'heading for the gall bladder!! Stay lying this way for about an hour. If it isn't your customary way of sleeping, just get comfortable after the hour and go to sleep. You may wake in the night with funny gurgling sounds and/or feelings as the oil makes its way through the digestive system. I have always found that by the next morning, with the first BM, there is light, sandy/yellow stool (digested olive oil) and any crystals left will be BRIGHT PADDY GREEN of the consistency of hospital jello! If a person has a lot of SAND in the Gall bladder, what comes away may be GREEN SLIME!!! That's the cholesterol!

A person should be able to eat fairly normally the next day. In the mean time, NO FRIED FOODS, very little butter, oily dressings, etc.

If you have access to a health food store, buy a bottle of PLANT ENZYMES. It should have Lipase for Fat digestion. There are other Digestive enzymes available that will contain Ox Bile to assist the digestion of fats.

 In 17 years I have had one person only who got scared 1/2 way through the cleanse, and aborted it. I have heard of a young 16 year old that had some pain during the night, but persevered, and passed a crystal the size of a quarter the next morning.

IF YOU SEEM TO HAVE NO SUCCESS, do the Apple juice thing a SECOND day, followed by the Olive Oil and Lemon juice drink, the second night.

Healthy Eating Program for Difficult Health Needs

About your weight thing!:

 I hope you like fruit, grapes in particular, (have a good handful of DARK grapes, preferably with their seeds in them. YOU DON'T EAT THE SEEDS! but clean them off (the skin pulp will be slightly bitter because that's were the minerals are) and chew the skins well. Spit out the seeds, swallow the skins! Just take your time to enjoy them.) Every morning between 7 and 9, just before your fruit breakfast, take a cup of warm water, add a teaspoon of lemon juice, (REAL or FRESH) and a little honey to taste. (this is to perk up your liver, to help it complete it's job.)
Your liver works ALL night from about 7-8 p.m., handling and prossessing the foods that have been eaten that day. Since we want it to use up more of its stored GLYCOGEN, we don't want to give it any PROTEIN first thing in the morning. Then it will have to go to the fat cells, to obtain the nutrients to make GLYCOGEN. Your GRAPES will have the nutrients and sugars needed for energy for the morning.
For about the first week, just drink a glass of water, maybe put a little shot of lemon juice in it too, after breakfast. Then wait to see how long before you are hungry.
However if you are a 'meat and potatoes' kind of person (that's a thyroid type!) you can have not more than 5 tbsps of cottage cheese OR 1 egg blended in REAL grape juice along with the grapes. But, if possible, particularily in BAD CELL cases where Chemo and/or Radiation has been used, it's best NOT to have the protein for breakfast!!

 **N.B. IF you have low-blood sugar you will probably need some protein about 2 hours later. A handful of 'unsalted' nuts, roasted sunflower seeds, peanuts, or a cereal bar with some fruit in it would be OK.
About noon, make yourself a LEAF lettuce (not head) with turkey, chicken, tuna, salmon, egg salad 'sandwich' (the bread should be whole wheat or Rye - not necessarily the heavy stuff-). None of these meats should be smoked! There are carcinogens in ALL smoked meats! and you are trying to stay away from that problem. If you don't think this is enough for lunch have some kind of vegetable, veg./chicken, veg/beef (NOT CREAMED) soup.
An alternate to the sandwich would be a big leaf lettuce salad with lemon and oil dressing ONLY on it.

 Again, if you tend to low blood sugar, you may wish to have some energy food about 2 hours later. This also applies to high blood sugar problems. You notice I didn't say, pie, cookies or cake!!!! The same kind of 'break' foods can be used here OR just some whole fruit, but not both together.

 For dinner at night, cook veggies with chicken, turkey, or fish (NO potatoes, squash or yams)) or veggies (squash and yams can go here) with potatoes (preferably baked with their coats on). Along with this have a different kind of salad then you had for lunch!- spinach, cabbage, romaine (NOT HEAD) lettuce (cabbage is very nutritious - just be sure and chew it well_). I think I mentioned getting some Plant Enzymes. Use them with your lunch and supper meals.

 If you feel hungry at night, use Pop corn, Triscuits, Veggie Crackers as your munchies (provided your system can handle CORN and WHEAT!! - no chips! too much oil in them.
 
 

• Others have lost weight on it; I did it, too and never was hungry.
