Re-Balance your Candida

Remedies and recommendations

When it comes to addressing Candida overgrowth, a complete, whole-body approach is key to restoring balance in your body. At Candida Protocol, We offer different strategies with both natural remedies and innovative solutions. Here are five ways to effectively help you achieve re-balancing Candida.

 

1 Changes through Diet or Ketosis, starve the candida, feed
your health.
2 Strengthen your Immune System, your body’s natural defences.
3 Seek Natural Antifungal Treatments, effective when combined
with Diet, Immune, and Lifestyle changes.
4 Use our Chitin Inhibitor (lufenuron), a highly effective treatment, that targets Candida cell walls and enables your immune system to eliminate the Candida.
5 Lifestyle changes (detox, exercise). Create an environment
where Candida doesn’t thrive.

 

Let’s expand more into each of these strategies to help reclaim your health.

1 Diet or Ketosis

Starve the Yeast, Feed Your Health

The food you consume plays a crucial role in managing Candida overgrowth. By making strategic dietary choices, you can create an internal environment that’s inhospitable to Candida while nourishing your body:

Traditional Anti-Candida Diet:

  • Reduce Sugar and Simple Carbs: Candida thrives on sugar, so cutting back on sweets, refined grains, and high-glycemic fruits can help starve the yeast.
  • Embrace Whole Foods: Focus on vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats to support your body’s natural healing processes.
  • Include Antifungal Foods: Incorporate garlic, coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar, which have natural antifungal properties.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of filtered water to help flush toxins from your system.

Ketogenic Diet and Candida:

The ketogenic diet, or “keto” for short, has gained attention as a potential tool in managing Candida overgrowth. Here’s a brief overview:

  • What is Ketosis?: Ketosis is a metabolic state where your body primarily burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. This state is achieved by dramatically reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing healthy fat consumption.
  • How it May Help with Candida: The ketogenic diet severely restricts the primary food source for Candida – sugar and carbohydrates. By entering ketosis, you’re essentially starving the Candida of its preferred fuel.
  • Potential Benefits:
    1. Reduced Yeast Growth: With limited glucose available, Candida’s ability to thrive and multiply may be significantly hampered.
    2. Improved Gut Health: Some studies suggest a ketogenic diet may positively influence gut microbiome balance.
    3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: The keto diet may help reduce inflammation, which can support overall healing.
  • Considerations:
    1. Transition Period: Entering ketosis can be challenging, and some people experience temporary side effects known as the “keto flu.”
    2. Nutrient Balance: It’s crucial to ensure you’re getting a wide range of nutrients while on a ketogenic diet.
    3. Individual Responses: Not everyone responds to ketosis in the same way. Some people may find it very effective for managing Candida, while others may not see significant benefits.

It’s important to note that the ketogenic diet is a complex topic with ongoing research into its surprising results on various health conditions, including Candida overgrowth. We encourage you to research this topic further. Whether you choose a traditional anti-Candida diet or explore ketosis, the key is to find an approach that works for your body and lifestyle while effectively managing Candida overgrowth.

2 Immune System

Strengthen Your Body’s Natural Defences

A robust immune system is your first line of defense against Candida overgrowth. Here’s how to give your immune system the boost it needs:

  • Nutrient-Rich Diet (vitamins): Ensure you’re getting plenty of vitamins to support immune.
    • Vitamin C, D, E, Zinc,  Selenium,
    • Vitamin B-complex with B6 & B12 (Methylcobalamin, not B12 Cyanocobalamin ‘cyanide’).
    • Iron, and Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Probiotic Foods and Supplements: Beneficial bacteria can help keep Candida in check.
  • Stress Management: Chronic stress can weaken your immune system, so incorporate stress-reduction techniques like meditation or yoga.
  • Adequate Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body to repair and regenerate. Before sleep limit device use like mobiles as blue light affects your sleep clock.

3 Natural Antifungal Treatments

Effective when combined with Diet, Immune, and Lifestyle changes.

Nature provides us with potent antifungal compounds that can be effective allies in your fight against Candida:

  • Oregano Oil: A potent antifungal agent with high levels of thymol. Research from 2015 found thymol to be an effective treatment for common Candida fungal infections.
  • Caprylic Acid: Found in coconut oil, is also known for its antifungal properties used for candida overgrowth. It can also help treat skin disorders and acne.
  • Pau D’Arco: An herb traditionally used to combat fungal infections and also having significant amounts of the antioxidant quercetin.
  • Grapefruit Seed Extract: Known for its antimicrobial properties used for candida overgrowth and skin disorders.

Always consult with a naturopath before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure it’s appropriate for your individual needs.

4 Chitin Inhibitor

Most Effective at targeting candida overgrowth

Our chitin inhibitor (Lufenuron) offers a breakthrough in addressing Candida overgrowth. It breaks down cell walls by inhibiting chitin synthesis, effectively weakening the Candida cell walls and allowing your body’s natural defenses to further eliminate them. This mechanism helps defeat even the most resistant Candida, fast-tracking you to better health and balance. By reaching die-off faster, it helps bring your body’s balance sooner than you’d expect to achieve through conventional methods.

The Candida Protocol is a pathway for self-administering our chitin inhibitor, designed to be an effective short-term intervention to help you regain control over Candida overgrowth. It serves as a catalyst for your body’s natural healing processes, providing a powerful boost to reset your body’s balance. Our protocol works synergistically with dietary changes and other natural remedies, offering a comprehensive approach to addressing Candida overgrowth.

5 Lifestyle Changes

Create an Environment Where Candida Can’t Thrive

Addressing Candida overgrowth goes beyond just treating symptoms. It’s about creating a lifestyle that promotes overall health and balance:

  • Regular Exercise: Boosts immune function and helps manage stress.
  • Toxin Reduction: Minimize exposure to environmental toxins that can burden your immune system. Most commonly, avoid fluoride and close proximity to wi-fi / 4G /5G devices.
  • Breath work. Daily routine of 30x inhale and exhale with no pause. (Wim Hof method). This type of breathing floods your body with oxygen and renews your cells.
  • Early Morning Sunlight. Exposing yourself to early morning sunlight can help regulate your circadian rhythm and boost your energy levels for the day.
  • Meditation. Regular meditation practice can enhance mental clarity, reduce stress, and promote a deep sense of inner peace.
  • Earthing. Connecting with the earth through earthing can help ground your body and mind, providing a natural way to reduce inflammation and improve overall well-being.
  • Quality Sleep: Establish a consistent sleep routine to support your body’s natural healing processes.

For Detox, consider these natural methods

  1. Lemon water fasting: Drinking water with fresh lemon juice to stimulate liver function and aid digestion.
  2. Activated charcoal: Taking activated charcoal supplements to bind toxins in the gut.
  3. Bentonite clay: Consuming food-grade bentonite clay to absorb toxins from the digestive tract.
  4. Oil pulling: Swishing oil (usually coconut or sesame) in the mouth to draw out toxins.
  5. Herbal teas: Drinking detoxifying herbal teas like dandelion root, milk thistle, or burdock root.
  6. Epsom salt baths: Soaking in Epsom salt baths to draw out toxins through the skin.
  7. Green smoothies: Consuming nutrient-dense green smoothies to support natural detoxification processes.
  8. Infrared sauna: Using infrared saunas to promote sweating and toxin elimination through the skin.
  9. Colon cleansing: Using natural methods like high-fiber foods or gentle herbal laxatives to cleanse the colon.
  10. Dry brushing: Brushing the skin with a dry brush to stimulate lymphatic drainage and exfoliate

Remember, re-balancing Candida is a journey, not a destination. By incorporating these strategies into your daily life, you’re not just addressing Candida overgrowth – you’re creating a foundation for lasting health and vitality.
