Candida albicans is a single-celled fungus, always present in the genital and intestinal tracts. However, if it becomes overgrown, it can cause infection. Diaper rash, vaginitus and thrush are some of the candida infections. It can affect various parts of the body, such as mouth, ears, nose, toenails (athletes foot), fingernails, gastrointestinal tract and vagina, groin (jock itch), skin (white patches) and can cause a very wide range of symptoms, so is often misdiagnosed.
Many people with candida develop food allergies (especially yeast), and if left untreated, may go on to develop environmental sensitivities and auto-immune diseases.
Yeasts, including candida, feed on sugar and other yeasts. If the body’s PH balance is upset for any reason, the friendly bacteria that normally break down sugars, cannot thrive and do their job properly. Consumption of sugars, high carbohydrates intake (especially breads) and processed foods greatly increase the risk of candida. Antibiotics, which kill beneficial bacterial along with the harmful ones, are another common cause of infections. People on long term antibiotics, chemotherapy, cortisone and acne based formulations based on antibiotics, as well as diabetics are at high risk for severe cases of candidiasis.
The type of treatment will depend on where the candida is located. Skin, ear and nail disorders can be treated with Citracidal drops or Calendula oil to which oregano and/or Tea Tree essential oil is added (total of 25 drops per 100ml calendula oil), although a higher concentration can be used on nails.
Vaginal thrush can be treated with vaginal creams with natural anti-fungal essential oils are available, although a tsp of the above mix can be injected into the vagina with a syringe. Use of conventional anti-fungal medicine can lead to the development of stronger strains of yeast that are drug resistant. Douching with plain organic yoghurt, probiotics (mixed in a little water) or 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar to 1 cup water can be very helpful and alleviate the symptoms of itchiness, burning and odour.
Candida needs to be treated three fold to be effective.
Thrush of the mouth can present as white sores or spots anywhere in the mouth and sometimes burning tongue or sore throats. Certain mouth sprays containing natural anti-fungals, such as Berberine, Pau D'arco, Olive Leaf, Warburgia, can be used or colloidal silver swished in mouth often. Spray probiotics should be used to re-establish the good bacteria to prevent further infection.
Intestinal candida presents as bloating, food intolerances, diarrhoea or constipation, irritable bowel, colitis, rectal itching, bad breath, abdominal pain, headaches, memory loss, moods swings etc. There are many different natural remedies that can be used that will not cause resistance, however, they should be rotated every 2-4 weeks to prevent this. They include: Oregano oil caps, Caprylic acid, Olive Leaf extract, Pau D’arco, Wurburgia Grapefruit seed extract (Citracidal), Colloidal Silver, Garlic, Oxygen formulas and MSM. Probiotics should be high strength. Vaginal cleansers that do not interfere with the pH balance are recommended (even 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar in 1 glass of water – use a syringe).
Recommended products: Bhealthy Candida, Willow Berberine, Willow Candida, Absolut Probiotic, Rafaa, Himalaya V-gel, Vagiforte plus, Escentia calendula oil.
