Candida Remedies: Understanding

What is Candidiasis?
Candidiasis is a form of yeast, a naturally occurring organism found within the flora of the gut. This amazing microbe lives inside the flora to consume any excess sugar not utilized by our cells. Changes in environment, such as a sudden lack of balance between yeast and bacteria in the body, will sometimes trigger the harmless single-celled candida albicans to become a multicellular invader. It is the back up system for the pancreas and adrenals.

Candida's Job:
The job of the Candida is to feed on any excess sugar not utilized by the body. The size or the amount of Candida is determined by the its food supply. When the digestive environment running smoothly the yeast remains at a healthy normal level. Here's how the process of Candida should work:

I eat a banana
The banana is digested in my stomach
The sugar is distributed into the blood stream
The sugar is used by the cells of the body
There is no excess sugar and the yeast quickly dies off

If however, if I eat nuts with my banana and my blood-sugar level rise because of improper digestion (nuts and sweet fruits don't digest well together), the Candida colony multiples to consume the excess sugar left behind. Basically the undigested and fermented food left in my gut.

Don't worry once the food eventually digests this unhealthy combination of fats and sugar and my blood sugar goes bad to normal so does the candida.

Where's the problem? Candida Remedies-Stop Over Eating Fats!
If I continue consuming a high fat diet diet and mixing foods I will chronically elevate the sugar levels within my bloodstream feeding and enlarging the Candida colonies. Instead of your cells getting fed the sugar it needs to keep your body running smoothly, the overload of Candida starts working overtime and consuming all the sugars. This leaves your body and brain suffering from lack of sugar in the process.

Candida is only responding to the need of too much sugar and is actually saving you. Without the colony of Candida, you blood stream would be overloaded with too much sugar and serious health problems can occur like your pancreas (Which digests and breaks down fats, proteins and carbohydrates, enzymes, produces hormones) and adrenals ( Which supports a stressed body through the synthesis of corticosteroids such as cortical and catecholamine) being severally overtaxed.

Anyone eating meals that are high in fat, beyond 10% of total calories, are overtaxing their adrenals and pancreas to the point they just stop working. Basically anyone eating a high fat diet for any extended amount of time can wind up with diabetes because the candida colony is constantly growing, your pancreas shuts down after being overworked and your adrenals can't handle the pressure anymore too.

The Bright Side: Candida Remedies
[Warning this may seem a bit graphic for some]. When I first realized I personally had an overload of Candida in my body, I was about to give birth to my 4th child. I was vegan at the time but my diet consisted of a high amounts of fat ladened, fried foods, like french fries and other fried vegetables.

When my son came out he was covered in white cakey yeast. He processed to have a constant growth of yeast over his face and body in the form of a rash.

I looked up all the "herbal candida remedies" I could find and spend hundreds of dollars to get "rid" of the yeast that remained in my body, on my baby and eventually both he and I developed thrush in his mouth and on my nipples.

I stopped eating "fruit and all other sugars" as prescribed in the Yeast-Free diet books. Yes the thrush did eventually go away but the yeast within my body and on my scalp has remained with the exception of a 7 month period in 2006 when I adopted a low fat raw food diet eating only 1 avocado a month.

Over the past 3 years I have been off and on from a high fat raw diet to a low fat raw vegan diet. In the past year since being back on a high fat diet I have started experience dandruff on my scalp and eye lashes, lower energy, colds, weight gain, food cravings body itching and genital itching.

I finally decided it was time for me to take my health to the next level. I was inspired to live on banana island for 10 days after reading an interview with Freelee and Alison Andrews on her success with an all raw low fat mono diet for 10 days eating only bananas. I am ready to truly experience extreme health and bring the Candida in my body back to normal levels.
