We have developed as a nation, but our nutritional deficiency has actually worsened. This has resulted in a disturbed internal environment or intestinal dysbiosis causing the normally harmless Candida to turn invasive and pathogenic. If the goal is to heal rather than just manage symptoms, then the treatment should be geared towards restoring the healthy environment of the intestinal tract, because pathogenic Candida cannot multiply in a healthy digestive tract. But is it possible to cleanse Candida naturally with foods?
The
Candida cleanse diet may sound very difficult at first.
But it requires a little bit of commitment and a
relearning period. The first step would naturally be
cleansing the colon of all its toxic buildup and making
way for antifungals to do their work so that the natural
bacterial flora can get re-established again. High-fiber
foods, raw organic vegetables, whole flax seeds,
psyllium fiber, bentonite clay and the herb cascara are
very good to start with. Fruits must be completely
avoided because of their fructose content. You can try
alternating between a program of antifungal and
probiotics every two weeks for at least three months.
Chew food thoroughly to help digest it
completely.
Foods
containing essential oils like omega-3 should be
incorporated in the diet. These include fish oils,
salmon and trout, avocadoes, olives, garlic, evening
primrose oils. Home-made broths from healthy animals are
rich in minerals as well as other substances which have
a healing effect on the colon such as glucosamine,
chondroitin, gelatin, etc. The process of cooking and
pureeing will allow easy absorption of nutrients, put
less stress on the digestive tract and create fewer
residue in the intestine.
Free-range
eggs, chicken, ducks, fatty fishes like salmon and trout
give good amounts and quality of protein. Yoghurt, apple
cider vinegar, kefir and sauerkraut, all help in
promoting the growth of friendly bacteria. All leafy
green vegetables are great on the
diet.
Buy
local and organically-grown vegetables. Lacto-fermented
vegetables are also highly recommended. Fresh herbs not
only impart flavor but also possess antifungal
properties. Basil, cilantro, oregano, dill and tarragon
may be used liberally. Legumes, when sprouted, have low
carbohydrate count and are bursting with live energy.
Fresh coconut too has antifungal properties, contains
good fats and is not too high on sugar and makes an
excellent snack. Drink plenty of water. Opt for
beverages in glass bottles as opposed to
plastic.
As stated in the beginning, restoring the healthy environment of the intestinal tract is very important in achieving Candida cure. Cleansing Candida naturally with foods is the best way to do it. But along with food, it is also necessary to energize the body with exercises, reduce stress, and maintain mental health. These changes should be incorporated permanently in your daily life. If you follow a holistic approach for your remedy, you will not only cure your infection but also prevent it from recurring in the future.
