An anti-candida diet would include organic foods: probiotics (yogurt, sauerkraut, tempeh, miso), apple, garlic, yogurt, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, grapefruit seed. Coconut oil, butter, etc., grapefruit seed extract while avoiding sugars and foods rich in refined carbohydrates, stress, antibiotics, excess lectins, foods with molds, gluten, bread and yeasts.

Clove oil, lavender oil, oregano oil and myrrh oil, combined with coconut oil help kill a variety of parasites and fungi, including Candida, in the body.

Probiotics help displace bad guys like candida albicans. Removing toxins, heavy metals and other harmful chemicals makes it easier for good bacteria to thrive. Several probiotic lactobacilli demonstrating potential anti-candida activity against different pathogenic strains are shown in Table 1.

Candida has been tested and shown to thrive in environments contaminated with heavy metals. Candida biofilms absorb metal cations from their environment and this sequestration in the biofilm contributes to treatment resistance and ability to thrive. The really interesting thing here is that candida will actually transform heavy metals in our body into nanoparticles, which are less threatening or harmful to candida itself.

Heavy metals reduce immunity, making it difficult for the body to fight off parasites and candida. Parasites and candida feed on heavy metals. They are also covered in metals to hide from the immune system.

Pau d'Arco is another powerful antifungal agent that has been shown to inhibit Candida albicans. The main ingredient in this tree bark is beta-lapachone, which is also a very powerful catalyst for a molecule called NAD+. NAD+ levels decrease with aging. It has powerful antibacterial qualities and is effective against fungi, viruses and parasites, as well as bacteria. Other ailments and conditions assisted by this herb include ulcers, anti-cancer. psoriasis, allergies, urinary tract infections, candida, prostatitis and stomatitis.

Biotin taken in the amount of at least 3 milligrams per day can reduce the transformation cycle of yeast to the fungal form, in order to prevent the spread of the mycelial form of candida in the bloodstream, thus giving the opportunity for yeast cells to invade almost all organs, including the brain. The other reason for including biotin is that certain people have a deficiency of biotinidase, and therefore may be at higher risk for a more invasive form of the infection. by yeast. Biotinidase is an enzyme that helps recycle biotin in your body.

Berberine is the main active ingredient against candida, with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating properties. Also, it is very effective in helping mitochondrial functions. Echinacea has antibacterial and antibiotic properties, and also supports a healthy immune system.

Another encounter in patients suffering from chronic candidiasis is coenzyme Q-10 deficiency. The reason is that the proliferation of Candida albicans in the duodenum and jejunum consumes the accessible coenzyme Q-10 and this causes its deficiency.

Within the group of minerals, germanium is the one most frequently deficient in patients with candidiasis. We now know that germanium inhibits the growth of Candida albicans. Enzymes called proteases that break down proteins and thus help with digestion. Bacillus subtilis (1 x 109 CFU). Zinc and germanium inhibit the growth of Candida albicans.

Thanks for this. Is this zinc-containing vaginal cream you mentioned available and on the market?
