Eliminate yeasts using antifungals

Since there are several strains of yeast, some of which may be resistant to particular antifungal agents, more than one agent must be used to ensure successful treatment. I recommend continuing the treatment for four weeks to six months, depending on the severity of the symptoms.

Oregano essential oil is an effective antifungal agent against all types of yeast infections. The usual dose is two or three drops under the tongue two or three times a day, with or without food.

Psyllium husks (husks) are an effective source of fiber to cleanse the digestive system, while caprylic acid is an antifungal agent that kills candida. These products are easily taken at bedtime on an empty stomach.

According to preliminary results from laboratory studies, cinnamon essential oil and cinnamon bark extract have anti-candida properties. You can take from ½ to ¾ tsp. (2-4 grams) of powder per day.

 Measure gastric acidity

Stomach acid or, in scientific terms, hydrochloric acid, is essential for the proper functioning of the digestive system. Low stomach acidity can lead to incomplete digestion of food, accompanied by problems with gas, bloating, belching, diarrhea, or constipation. A fluctuation in the acidity level of the stomach or vagina allows candida to proliferate. An adequate level of stomach acid also protects the digestive system against bacteria, yeasts and parasites. An easy way to get a feel for your stomach acid level is to look at your fingernails. Vertical streaks are a characteristic sign of low gastric acidity.

 Restore bacterial balance : candida

Increasing your level of acidophilus and bifidus helps to counter the overgrowth of candida. After stopping treatment with antibiotics, take acidophilus supplements for double the duration of treatment with antibiotics. I recommend the 10-15 billion capsules, one or two capsules upon waking and at bedtime, without food.

Saccharomyces boulardii (SB), the only probiotic yeast available as a supplement, also competes with candida. European studies suggest that SB may prevent the overgrowth of candida, in addition to protecting the intestine against diarrhea caused by amebiasis, C. difficile and cholera.

Favor foods that are free of yeasts and that strengthen the immune system:

• Healthy proteins: dried beans, deep-sea fish, eggs, organic chicken and turkey, raw or soaked nuts and seeds (except peanuts and pistachios), goat milk and yogurt.
• Grains: millet, buckwheat, rye, barley, amaranth, quinoa, all sprouted seeds (barley, rice, millet, sunflower), khorasan wheat (Kamut), whole wheat and spelled. Check that the products are yeast-free.

• Sweetener: Stevia is extracted from a plant. It is the only sweetener that candida does not feed on, so you can use it at will.
• Condiments and oils: Bragg amino acids (soy-based, wheat-free, unfermented sauce), hummus, tahini and raw nut butters, garlic, lemon, onion, palmate seafood (as a substitute for salt), any fresh or dried aromatic herb, ghee (clarified butter) and extra virgin olive oil.
