Treating candida albicans: the 3% natural 100-step method – Happiness and health

Welcome to the reference guide to know how to treat the overgrowth of candida albicans.

A few years ago I suffered a lot from candidiasis. Because of the symptoms obviously but also the incomprehension of the doctors, the lack of support around me and also because of the lack of quality information on the internet.

With this guide I hope you will find the support I missed at the time, with the keys to setting up your program for get rid of candida and get healthy.

PS: you will find at the bottom of the article a little bonus, the 11 best natural remedies to reduce candida.

I wish you a very good reading

Candida albicans is a diploid organism, it is a species of yeast that is usually found on the skin and lining of the mouth or vagina and within the stomach.

Candida albicans is therefore a fungal infection that causes candidiasis, too called candida overgrowth.

It is usually present in our intestinal system where it is part of our gut flora, that is, the balanced range of microorganisms that help us digest food and support the immune system in its daily work.

Candidiasis appears when this intestinal balance is upset and that the candida yeast eventually defeats other microorganisms. This has the effect of weakening our immune system and disrupting the digestion of our food.

In addition, the cells of candida emit toxic waste, such as the neurotoxin acetaldehyde, which can trigger a variety of symptoms in various places in your body.

During the rest of this article, I will refer to candida albicans simply called candidiasis.

Although there are various fungal organisms that are categorized under the term candida, it is candida albicans that is by far the most important organism to watch out for when it comes to yeast infection.

Defining candida albicans with precision is a delicate matter since this fungal infection can appear in three distinct forms.

Candidiasis can then appear on the skin, especially on the groin, the folds of the buttocks, the space between the breasts, toes, fingers and in the navel as an itchy red patch.

At the oral mucosa, it manifests by the formation of a thrush in the form of white patches inside the mouth, on the tongue, the palate and around the lips.

As for the vaginal or genital mucosa, it is manifested by a white discharge accompanied by itching, referred to as “vaginal yeast infection”.

Burning during urine output for infections of the mucous membranes of the urinary tract may also occur.

You will understand, the forms of candidiasis are very numerous.

Take the test: how do you know if you have candidiasis?

La candidiasis is a still relatively unknown infection. In any case in France. The Anglo-Saxon countries have a good head start on us when it comes to screening and treatment. (You will also find on this site many sources in English. And as I am bilingual I will present you the latest works from the United States for example)

There are different statistics, but according to the latest figures between 70% and 80% of the world’s population suffer from candidiasis. I know, this figure is surprising. Which also means you may be infected.

Why such a development of candidiasis?

There are a lot of reasons that candidiasis has grown exponentially. In mainly causes our fashions and eating habits.

Lmodern diet packed with sugar and refined products is a perfect ground for the development of candida

Added to this is the regular use of antibiotics.

We will see later that antiobotics also entail a very favorable ground for the development of candidiasis. In addition, the contraceptive pill, remedies against ulcers (cimetidine, etc.)

 In addition, other drugs attacking the intestinal flora, hormonal changes during pregnancy, stress, the contraceptive pill… promote the multiplication of candida albicans.

As a fungus, its development is favored by the presence of sugar and moisture. Therefore, weight gain, increasing sweating, can promote its proliferation.

In general, candida albicans is benign but after multiplication, it becomes pathological.

They must be treated quickly to avoid any complications. In other words, a person can be a carrier of this fungus without being affected by candidiasis.

For a healthy person, candidiasis does not present a threat except in the rare cases when it seeps into the blood stream. This situation is then called candidemia. It can lead to sepsis.

Candidiasis can be fatal in immunocompromised, AIDS or cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or having had a bone transplant.

Other symptoms also add to the list of inconveniences, in particular digestive problems, cystitis, multiple infections due to a weakened immune system such as ENT infections, canker sores, chronic depression, etc.

But in all cases it is better to be safe than sorry.

In general, an antifungal treatment and the application of our advice is enough to treat candidiasis or slow down the proliferation of candida albicans.

If symptoms worsen, an anti-candida diet is recommended. In addition, the advice of a doctor is required before taking any medication whatsoever. Hydration is also an element that should not be neglected.

Finally, a healthy and sufficient diet as well as a impeccable hygiene of the body are effective preventions against candidiasis. Pregnant women are the most sensitive to vaginal mucous membranes, so they should follow specific treatment.

During the first phase, we will also look at the body detoxification. The trick is to prepare even his detox drink.

There are many. Here I offer you a proven detoxifier: Watermelon-lemon-mint and of course water

Why watermelon:

Watermelon allows the body to flush out toxins because it contains an ingredient called citrulline, which is a non-proteinogenic amino acid. Which allows the liver to detoxify.

Why the lemon

Lemon helps stimulate the digestive system and in candidiasis, the digestive system is often upside down. Another positive effect of lemon is that it regulates constipation, heartburn and bloating.

Basic colon detox takes 1 to 2 weeks. As soon as it ends you will be able to start taking probiotics and antifungals.

During the initial stage of detoxification, you may experience some symptoms of abrupt elimination. It is for this reason that I recommend taking high-end detoxification supplements from the start of treatment, since this precaution will reduce or completely eliminate the onset of such symptoms.

Here are the key steps in an effective detox diet:

• Consume raw salads and steamed vegetables
• Drink lots of water
• Preferably choose organic products
• Continue detoxification for 3 to 10 days

It is necessary that start on a good basis, we are not going to develop our plan of attack on a bad foundation. This first step is therefore very important. It will solidify and get you used to adopting the right habits.

With our increasingly stressful and hectic lives, it is very easy to develop certain bad eating habits that will lead to the development of candida. I am of course talking about all the products already cooked, with too much salt and especially too much sugar.

During our food rebalancing, we will therefore focus on a vegetable-based diet mostly green and therefore rich in fiber. If you can, it is best to buy organic products.

You can make this first phase last a week. You may be hungry, so add one or two eggs a day to add protein to your diet.

So here’s a quick reminder of this section of the treatment, before moving on to the specific list of foods to eat or avoid.

You’re hardly going to like the message, but now is the time to say goodbye to cheese, alcohol, chocolate and all the sweet treats you have loved so much for so long.

The difficulty is that all of these foods are particularly attractive to you, but they even more attract the candidiasis cells that are present in your gut flora. VS

This means that every time you unleash a craving, you are also simultaneously giving a feast to the voracious pathogens that inhabit your intestinal system.

What do we mean when we talk about overgrowth of candidiasis? Simply put, these are basically situations where candida-like yeasts grow out of control and threaten the healthy bacteria in your gut flora.

Deprived of space and sustenance, these healthy bacteria eventually disappear. Very quickly the bacterium candida albicans takes over in your intestinal flora and eliminates other bacteria, and an overgrowth of candidiasis takes place.

Scientific research has shown that the presence of adequate levels of bacteria stimulates the immune system and helps the body fight pathogens. Researchers see two reasons for this.

In the first place it is estimated that healthy bacteria encourage the activity of the immune system and thus help the body to react to new infections.

Secondly, it is also believed, at the same time, that probiotics manage to maintain the acidity of the intestinal system through the production of substances such as lactic acid. This acidity suppresses the development of pathogens such as candidiasis.

Probiotics suppress candidiasis

A massive supply of bacteria beneficial to the intestinal flora creates a competitive environment within it, in which each microorganism competes for space and sustenance.

This is how the probiotics that benefit us use up space and resources that would otherwise have been taken up by the candida yeast. That is why I recommend the regular use of a probiotic containing a high level of bacteria.

Probiotics follow each other and are not alike. It is not uncommon to pay gold prices for a product that turns out to be of poor quality.

Likewise, luckily there are some great products out there that won’t break the bank. In particular, there are a brand or two that offer flawless quality, good value for money, and excellent store availability.

Additional information on these products is available to you by viewing my program. Here is some of this information, the most essential when shopping, as a guide.

Please note that the criteria I will present to you are applicable to lactic acid-based probiotics.

Probiotics made from soil layers work in a different way because they are much more resistant to absorption and descent into the intestinal system. This means that they do not require refrigeration and are equally effective even with a much lower rate of bacteria in each capsule.

A suitable diet, low in sugar and carbohydrates, represents such a complementary effort. Likewise, quality antifungal treatment can complete the plan of attack.

How does an antifungal work?

Most antifungals work by weakening the cell walls of yeasts such as candidiasis. Once the wall weakens, the cell does not last long and it is eliminated by your immune system.

Your doctor may prescribe a pharmaceutical antifungal drug – Nystatin can be an example.

On the other hand, if these products are effective in eliminating yeast cells, they also have side effects which are not negligible.

Yeast cells, after all, are not much different from our own cells. It is therefore extremely difficult to develop an antifungal that is able to attack the pathogen without also damaging our own cells.

If on the other hand natural antifungals appeal to you more, it is reassuring to know that there are many types on the market that you can try.

They generally have far fewer side effects, are available without a prescription, and are nonetheless formidable yeast eliminators.

If you are going with natural antifungals, there is some information you should know.

First of all, it is perfectly possible to combine these antifungals and take more than one at the same time. Natural remedies are much milder than prescription drugs; combining the antifungals you use increase the ability of your immune system to fight candidiasis.

Caprylic acid

Oregano oil

Oregano oil is commonly sold in most vitamin and supplement stores, usually in capsule form. Studies have shown the effectiveness of oregano oil against a variety of fungal infections. It is a particularly powerful antifungal.

The local treatment of candidiasis can be carried out with creams or shampoos to be applied to the areas to be treated such as the lips, skin, vaginal cavity, etc. General antifungals come in several forms such as ova, tablets, etc.

Whatever the type of treatment, the taking of these drugs and the duration of the treatments differ according to the drug prescribed but also according to the patient to be treated.

Drugs of short duration, which act more quickly, given the fact that they contain a fairly high amount of active ingredients can be prescribed.

This type of treatment is the most practical, insofar as it is ephemeral and does not constitute a source of inconvenience. Long-term treatments are on the other hand indicated in vulnerable patients such as pregnant or breastfeeding women.

In open treatment, the drugs are based on antifungal substances such as clotrimazole or miconazole. The choice of medication depends on the patient’s habits and health conditions. The drugs are thus prescribed in different dosages and dosages, generally from 1 to 7 days.

Long-term treatments can vary from several weeks to several months, depending on the drug. In a practitioner, the type of treatment will depend on the patient’s health conditions.

The active ingredients used are also to antifungal base the most frequently used of which are butoconazoles and tercanazoles.

The 11 best natural solutions to eliminate candida (BONUS)

Home remedies or recipes

Most important in the treatment of candida is the fact that “you, me, us” can cure it in a natural way, by preparing recipes for “homemade” dishes. Indeed, there are a thousand and one ways to prepare miraculous recipes to effectively fight against candida albicans.

These recipes include the main ingredients that promote the proliferation of good bacteria and the elimination of yeasts in humid and hot areas of our body.

Natural yogurt

With that, in the first recipe is the plain yogurt (2). Indeed, the latter contains many bacteria which make it possible to fight effectively against the degradation of yeast. In addition, plain yogurt can also be applied internally or externally.

Speaking of which, I advise you to add half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder to your yogurt before applying it. Regardless, it is always recommended to consume plain, sugar-free yogurt to keep you healthy.

Lavender

In addition, the lavender recipe is also found to be a natural “home” remedy for candida. To prepare it, all you need to do is boil a bunch of fresh or dry lavender in a liter of water, for a maximum of 10 minutes.

Once cooled, you can use the preparation by adding it to your bath, or simply by gently rinsing the affected area.

Apart from plain yogurt and the particular virtues of lavender, you can also cure this infection by opting for an anti-candidiasis diet.

Other than that, to complement these home remedies, you can only consume the preferred foods before, during, or even after treatment for candidiasis. In this regard, I offer you a list of foods to consume.

• Spices, herbs
• Lean meats
• Grains like millet, buckwheat
• Herbal teas

Obviously, the foods to avoid are those that contain a significant amount of sugar such as honey, chocolate, syrups. You should also avoid foods that contain gluten (barley, oats, wheat, corn, etc.), starches (peas, potatoes, cassava, etc.), seafood, as well as preservatives. and different additive products. Alcohol, tea and coffee should also be avoided in order to effectively treat candida albicans.

Natural antifungals against candida albicans

First of all, candida albicans or candidiasis is a yeast present in our body, but in small quantities. However, when we suffer from certain pathologies like diabetes, obesity… it can quickly increase in size to form a fungus in the humid and warm areas of our body.

The berbérine

 Among these is for example berberine, a natural antifungal extracted from barberry. A powerful natural remedy to treat candidiasis, berberine is known for its exceptional virtues against the proliferation of viruses, bacteria and yeasts in our body.

Garlic

Opt for garlic (2), a natural antifungal that is ubiquitous in your familiar surroundings. A powerful antibacterial, garlic is a pleasant solution available to everyone. However, for more efficiency, I advise you to consume it in its natural state once or twice a day. To do this, you can add it raw or cooked in your meal or dinner.

Turmeric

Like garlic and berberine, turmeric is also a natural antifungal and effective in combating this problem. In addition, it helps to multiply the good bacteria and anti-candidiasis yeasts in our body. With that said, you just need to put a teaspoon of pure turmeric powder mixed with a few drops of the oil in a glass of lukewarm water. By opting for this solution, it only took me two days to cure my candidiasis.

The effective food supplements to fight against candidiasis

grapefruit seed extract

If there are other natural solutions that not only allow us to heal easily, it would be food supplements. Among these is, for example, grapefruit seed extract. According to research results published by “the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine”, this supplement provides lasting benefits on our health.

caprylic acid

Caprylic acid is also among the best natural remedies or dietary supplements for candidiasis. Moreover, it is often used by natural health professionals, as well as nutritionists, given its exceptional antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial properties. Indeed, naturally present in breast milk, in palm oil … caprylic acid is the ideal solution to rebalance bacteria and to prevent excess yeast in our body.

spiruline and chlorella

In addition, food supplements based on algae are highly recommended to permanently cure candida. In this regard, I invite you to discover the properties of two particular green algae, namely spirulina and chlorella. Reference food supplements, these algae contain all the nutrients, minerals, or trace elements necessary to treat and prevent candidiasis, as well as other infections or different diseases.

aloe vera, milk thistle, shiitake

Apart from Chlorella and Spirulina, you can also opt for herbal food supplements which have exceptional virtues in natural treatment. Between black walnut, aloe vera, milk thistle, shiitake, green chirette… the list of plants against candida albicans is almost long. Either way, I hope you will find the ideal solution here that allows you to cure your infection quickly and efficiently.

Probiotics … again and again

Indeed, considered to be beneficial bacteria, probiotics have everything you need to naturally treat candidiasis. Indeed, they offer you a considerable supply of bacteria favorable to your intestinal flora. To do this, their main purpose is to recover the spaces occupied and the resources absorbed by the yeast of the “candida” type in a particular area of ​​your body.

However, the ideal is to get probiotics that have a higher rate of bacteria in order to boost its effects and actions. In this regard, you can for example opt for lauctobacillus acidophilus (4), a good quality probiotic to consume before breakfast. Thereafter, if candida albicans returns cyclically, I recommend that you take exclusively one cranberry acidophilus capsule each morning before breakfast.

Relaxation and stress reduction

Today, many people find that candida-related symptoms become dramatically worse when they face a stressful time in their daily work or personal life.

Indeed, when we live under constant stress, our immune systems no longer manage to function normally.

In fact, the more we are stressed, the more our adrenalins rise and the more we release a massive amount of sugar which will subsequently feed the yeast. In addition, in times of stress, we tend to consume comfort foods (rich in sugar, additives, seasonings, etc.)

So, even if it does not seem obvious and especially difficult in most cases, taking a step back, relaxing can be a natural solution par excellence to heal yourself.

In this regard, I invite you to devote a little more of your time to entertaining, comforting and relaxing activities. Among these, you can for example leave everything behind you, then find comfort and relaxation at a SPA salon in which you will enjoy a massage session, sauna which only offers you good.

Then you can also practice your favorite sport at the end of the weekend, or opt for time for a walk, a picnic in a comforting natural setting. In addition, if you are a follower of spiritual and mental practice, I exclusively suggest that you opt for a meditation session in order to relax and unwind at any time. In addition, the benefits of meditation can easily permeate your daily life.

Also, simple exercises like deep breathing can go a long way in helping you cope better with stressful situations. You can also opt for natural treatments, the practice of which has just become the heart of the trend. In this regard, many solutions are available to you:

• Acupuncture
• aromatherapy
• Shiatsu
• reflexology

In conclusion, yeast infection is not necessarily difficult to treat. In this case, the best way to treat it is to attack it on several facades. No matter what solutions you choose, I recommend that you make the best possible changes to your diet by avoiding sugar, refined carbohydrates, and other foods that promote the growth of yeast that is the source of candidiasis.

There you have it, I think that with this article you have a basis to understand and put in place an effective plan to fight against candidiasis.
