Candida Cleanse

Written by on November 24, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Candida albicans is a diploid fungus that typically coexists in a balanced state along with other bacteria. This can often be found in the intestines, the throat, and even the genital tract. Candida in and of itself is not harmful to the body and It also has a lot of important functions such as eliminating and killing off bad or harmful bacteria in our body.However, if it’s determined that you need to remove candida, then a proper natural colon candida cleanse is what needs to be done. Refrain from taking any antibiotics or medications ad this will often exacerbate the problem, and in fact provide fuel for the candida. In this article, I’ll will go over a basic natural candida cleanse, and with persistence and proper treatment, this can be taken care of.

You need to have a colon cleanse to help kill the harmful fungi and replace that inside your gut with beneficial bacteria through the use of probiotic supplementation. Here is the regimen you should use:

1. Have regular colon cleansing for about 2-3 months:

This first step is very important because in order to first destroy the candida, we must cleanse our bowels through colon cleansing. This is because if your colon is clogged and backed up, and it’s also filled with toxins, none of the anti-fungal needed to get to your intestinal tract will get their efficiently if at all, and example of this anti-fungal would be Oregano Oil. There are many ways to cleanse your colon but for candida sufferers, a great choice would be Dr. Natura’s Colonix Program. It’s considered to be one of the best, and most complete programs you can buy at the moment. This product has both a colon cleanser and a parasite cleansing agent in Paranil, and KleriTea to help aid in digestion. Although this product has gotten great user reviews, I recommend you look up reviews for yourself for any product first however.

2. Taking Anti-Fungal Supplementation

Be sure you take a good anti-fungal medication such as oregano oil or an equivalent for about two weeks, The specific details and instructions should be listed right on the label as needed. You generally want to start out taking no more than one capsule per day for the first 3-4 days and gradually move up the dosage amount to taking 5-7 capsules per day, spread out through the day. I personally recommend using Oregano Oil, but there a variety of others that you can use as well, these include caprylic acid, or Threelac products. The reason I suggest using oregano oil is its not only easily available but it seems to have the best success rates as well.

3. After about 2 weeks of step 2, you should consume high grade probiotic’s such as Latero-Flora, or Garden of Life’s Primal Defense. Remember to follow the instructions because candidiasis is caused from the proportion of candida to beneficial bacteria being out of balance so increasing the more healthy bacteria to your intestinal tract by taking in high quality probiotics will really help to correct this imbalance and set things straight.  When 4 weeks has ended, I suggest your repeat the first two steps mentioned earlier and take an additional 2 weeks of the anti-fungals like the oregano oil, and then 2 subsequent weeks of high grade probiotics.

4. Make sure the each day you’re taking a colon cleaning fiber-rich shake, this can be a Psyllium Husk & Bentonite Clay shake or Oxypowder as well. Some folks like to also put in anti-fungals as well into their various fiber shakes –and this is something I highly recommend as this is in fact a fantastic idea as it can only help and strengthen what you doing. This is what you can do: when you have finished making your anti-fingal/fiber-rich shake, be sure to add in a teaspoon or so of liquid, Oregano Oil, caprylic acid, or even grapefruit seed extract.

Make sure if you are able to do rebounding. What this essentially is, is when you start jumping, on a trampoline for example, or something similar- this will help flush out the various toxins and poisons from your lymphatic system, this way we can avoid having to experience die-off effects from a candida cleanse diet.

What is the most Essential part of this program?

Truly, to heal yourself the quickest and most efficiently you need to do all the steps outlined. However, having said that, to the surprise of many, it’s the colon cleansing that does the most not the “candida cleansing” aspect. You cannot take probiotics and anti-fungals alone and expect results because your colon is still gunked up with toxins and mucoid plaque, those are complimentary treatments to the candida colon cleanse which does the main brunt of the work, only then should you use the addition

Total Cleanse Detox Tips

Written by on November 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Sometimes you’re not looking to do an entire cleansing system or your just looking to tackle general lethargy or sluggishness and you feel cleaning yourself out once in awhile just might do the trick, well the good news is that there are tons of simple and effective mini total cleanse detox remedies and tips that’s can help alleviate the issue your trying to deal with. As always I recommend using organic and fresh fruits and vegetables when tackling any of these issues which are mostly dietary, and always be sure to filter your water, or buy tested and verified bottled water, as tap water is more often than not simply to unsafe to drink in many places and would be counterproductive to what your trying to do.

A great way to combat lethargy and general sluggishness is through the use of natural stimulants like green tea which contain healthy levels of naturally occurring caffeine which is then counter balanced with L-theanine which is also naturally present in green tea. L-theanine acts as an anxiety reducer and mood balancer which can often help normalize the body and reduce the onset lethargy that follows caffeine use, this way you benefit from the energy boost without suffering the ill effects of caffeine.

To combat bloating, juicing is often recommended because it acts as a diuretic, bloating is often the result of excess waste and water retention that comes from bad dietary and physical lifestyle habits. I always recommend in any total cleanse body detox that juicing be a staple of the regimen because of this fact alone. I realize it is counter intuitive to think drinking MORE liquid will lead to a diuretic effect and water waste removal, but there is a reason this ends up actually being the case.

What the body does is essentially “trade” the good fluids for the bad, or more accurately it exchanges the toxins and poisons retained in the fatty areas and watery deposits within the body for the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals found within the juice. As a result of this process the toxins along with some of the excess water waste end up being flushed along with them during urination and defecation. This is the primary reason people, especially those in very bad health, seem to urinate more out then liquids they took in, and end up going to the bathroom frequently, this is perfectly normal and a sign that it’s working.

A Basic Total Cleanse Diet

Written by on November 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

There are lots of different cleanses and body detox programs out there, but much like weight loss itself after the routine or plan is followed, keeping the weight off or in this case the weight and the clean body can be a bit difficult to maintain without knowledge about proper nutrition. The good news is, that following a simple total cleanse diet along with sensible exercise and practices, means it’s more than possible to keep the body in the condition you got it in through a total cleanse program. The core principles of a total cleanse diet are raw foods, juicing, smoothies, and plenty of pure water. Raw foods are so important because of the natural vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and nutrients but also because of the natural fiber which helps keep your colon clean by constantly passing waster efficiently and quickly.

A lot of exotic fruits and fancy ingredients are often associated with keeping the body clean and fit like the acai berry and total cleanse diet staples such as acerola cherry, and mangosteen, but these fruits although healthy and very good for you are not necessarily vital to a total cleanse diet. I generally recommend sticking with fresh fruits that are local for eating, and then using organic frozen fruits like berries and possibly less local varieties of produce for things like making fruit smoothies and ice creams. Drinking these smoothies every morning will give you nearly the entire amount of nutrients and fiber you need for the whole day and will give your body an incredible metabolism boost in the process, plus they keep you full which keeps you from over eating.

I also recommend juicing whenever possible to deliver the nutrients from vegetables you may not either be getting at all or in sufficient amounts. The three core veggies you want to make sure you get in everyday if possible are carrot juice, beet juice, and cucumber juice. If you can manage to add anything else, you can ad apple for sweetness and celery or wheatgrass for extra nutrition. If you cannot juice, only buy organic and non concentrated juice in glass bottles to avoid plastic leeching, and never buy blends or cocktails, just stick to the straight stuff, no added flavors or ingredients. When it comes to other solid foods, for you non vegetarians and non vegans be sure to keep your meat lean and completely cooked, make sure you get it from a butcher, not the grocery store as butchers take much better care of their product as its all they sell, and they keep it in much colder environments thus keeping the meat from spoiling. And for the vegans and vegetarians it goes without saying that a balanced diet of nuts, whole grains, produce, juicing, smoothies, and plenty of pure water will go a long way to keeping your body fit and clean after a total cleanse.
