Say Goodbye to Candida: The Ultimate Guide to Beating It for Good.

Candida, commonly referred to as thrush, can occur from birth, particularly if the baby was delivered by caesarean section, if the mother or newborn received antibiotics, or if the baby is formula-fed. It can develop after one dose of certain medications, through stress, a high sugar diet or even trauma. It represents a reaction and an imbalance; while manageable, it is important to address it for the sake of our health.

The human body is equipped with the capability to combat nearly any issue, provided we approach it correctly. During childbirth, one of the numerous micro-processes involves the transfer of beneficial bacteria to the baby's skin, eyes, nose, ears & mouth, which then naturally populates the gut and spreads throughout the body. This transfer does not occur to its fullest extent during a cesarean delivery. In fact, if you requested a doctor to manually facilitate this process, they might take drastic measures, such as removing your child from your care or suggesting you wait until the child is an adult for a fæcal transplant.

Until recently, mentioning candida to a doctor would likely result in them rolling their eyes and questioning whether you had been self-diagnosing or consulting a non-professional. This simple dismissal has led to chronic and even terminal health problems over time. Going from zero to 100 rather than really addressing the individual is not best practice.

Unfortunately, the onset of candida starts early in life, and it's indeed an emotional subject because it often originates in the initial days, either from the mother's diet and drink or from what is introduced to the baby. Instead of being viewed as a positive challenge, it is often perceived as a matter of blame.

Combine this with vaccinations, toxins like glyphosate, and antibiotics over a short period, and you have a harmful mix that can hinder basic bodily functions. Additionally, consider sugar-laden formulas and baby food, or the misguided belief that 'solid food' is necessary before the body can handle anything beyond mother's milk (not from cows or other species).

Supplementing with multi-strain probiotics is essential, not just advised, for both mother and baby. This step can frequently be crucial, provided that the subsequent diet is beneficial rather than merely convenient.

Sugars (including excessive fruit), yeast, some raw mushrooms, vinegar, and any foods containing them can lead to further imbalance. Most people typically become aware of candida through oral or genital thrush. These symptoms only manifest long after the yeast organism has proliferated beyond its normal levels. Yeast is essential for various reasons, as a key component of hormone formation and the assimilation/utilization of B vitamins. However, once hormone imbalances occur (due to factors like perfumes, dioxins, herbicides, medications, chicken, milk, meat, etc.), elevated œstrogen levels can cause yeast to thrive excessively. This explains why many pregnant women experience significant discomfort.

I've encountered women who dismiss thrush in two ways: "I've always had it and it doesn't bother me. My doctor says it's nothing to worry about," or "I'm not giving up my favorite foods. My husband can deal with it."

First of all, ewww, but seriously—don't people understand that if your body is expelling abnormal secretions, it's likely causing internal harm to begin with? We're also discussing thrush being transmitted through breastfeeding—what about the poor child ingesting it? Unusual secretions aren't just expelled for no reason. They occur because there's no more space inside, and they have nowhere else to go.

Add some warm water to a sachet of yeast and let it ferment for a few hours; imagine that happening in your body for years! Add a bit of sugar and let it fester against raw skin; that's what's happening to your mucous membranes.

The only effective method to eliminate what can cause reactions throughout the body is by altering your diet and addressing the symptoms. While you can use remedies, wash with tea tree solutions, and consume large quantities of essential probiotics, not all options are equally effective. Many probiotics are available on the market, but yogurt won't suffice, particularly considering the contents of dairy.

However, there are certainly superior probiotic brands available.

The issue is that a single organism can rapidly multiply into millions in a short period. Quick fixes won't solve this problem. Achieving a perfect balance is essential for maintaining the right amount of yeast in its proper place. Adopting an alkaline lifestyle can facilitate this balance, although initial steps are necessary for cleansing. Other symptoms of candida (and yes, I already mentioned the unpleasantness) include body odor (reminiscent of cheese and vinegar), smelly feet, athlete's foot, dandruff, cradle cap, yellowing nails, a yellow-coated tongue, and, of course, secretions.

In infants, SM33 or similar treatments are used to alleviate only the external symptoms, not the underlying condition. The disorder remains in the rest of the digestive system. If left unchecked, candida can impact nearly every bodily function involving the mucous membranes. Imagine the irritation of itchy feet or groin; that discomfort is occurring throughout the body in various forms: unusual abdominal bloating and gas, pain, hyperactivity, headaches, weak muscles and organs, fertility issues, menstrual cycle irregularities, and more. It can be transmitted between people through sharing drinking bottles, unprotected sex, etc. Wearing nylon underwear can worsen it, but diet is the primary concern. Addressing external symptoms does not affect the internal condition at all. See my posts on the pH diet.

Sero Tonic is the ultimate candida remedy specifically designed for both humans and animals. It is suitable for use from infants to the elderly. If there is a history of implants of any kind, opt for the version without silicea.

From a medicinal standpoint, I've observed positive outcomes with Nilstat, but since it costs nearly $100 per bottle and isn't covered by PBS, probiotics are a more cost-effective option. Surprisingly, using enemas and applying probiotic capsules rectally leads to significantly improved results.

Following a pH balanced diet is essential. It's quite straightforward even if it does take time to understand. I would suggest gabbing a copy of Dr Robert Young's book The pH Miracle.. Completely eliminate processed sugar from your diet; the only acceptable substitutes are agave or maple syrup on occasion. Avoid using artificial sweeteners as replacements, as they come with their own set of health problems..

Keep in mind that candida indicates an imbalance in the body, and the only way to address this is through a permanent change. If you can't begin at birth, start as soon as possible and remain committed. Condy's crystals, hydrogen peroxide, and Epsom salts are excellent topical treatments for candida-related issues like fungal nails and athlete's foot.

What can we consume internally? Beyond homeopathics and bicarbonate for pH balance, there are steps that can aid in flushing out toxins and accelerating healing.

• Ensure your pH is balanced and take these steps to address the entire situation.

Treating candida is not a straightforward process; it's a complex problem that affects all aspects of your health both now and in the future. How does this relate to fæcal transplants? In every way! Consider addressing the root cause of your health issue from before birth or at the onset of the problem with safe, gentle, and effective methods, rather than resorting to something like a fæcal transplant only when the situation has worsened to the point where it seems like the only option.

This modern way of taking the last resort first may not be the best option. Especially if you want to eat your favourite foods again...
