How to eliminate Candida
Candidiasis
is an overgrowth of Candida albicans, a yeast like fungus and member of the
normal flora residing in the intestinal tract of humans. Candida albicans is a unicellular organism, normally
kept in balance by optimal levels of beneficial gut bacteria but can become
imbalanced in immune compromised individuals. In addition, dietary and
lifestyle factors such as stress, prolonged antibiotic use, steroid treatments,
hormonal intervention (HRT, IVF, contraceptive pill), alcohol, caffeine containing
drinks (tea, coffee, cola) and a diet high in refined products (white flour
& sugar) can all increase the risks of developing an overgrowth of this
opportunistic pathogen. Initially the overgrowth causes intestinal infection,
yet after translocation into the bloodstream it is responsible for serious
systemic candidiasis. Candidiasis causes a wide range of debilitating symptoms
including abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, gas, bloating, belching,
indigestion, heartburn, recurrent vaginal yeast infections, nasal congestion,
sinus problems, bad breath, skin rashes, allergies, chemical sensitivities,
rectal itching, muscle aches, cold hands and feet, fatigue, depression,
irritability, difficulty concentrating, headaches and dizziness.
Research
now supports the clinical use of a combination
of high strength enzymes together with
the probiotic application
of the non-pathogenic yeast, Saccharomyces boulardii
to bring levels of Candida albicans back into
an optimally healthy balance.
Step 1 - Targeting the Cell Wall with High Strength Enzymes
1. Dietary
& Lifestyle Applications
2. Avoid
sugar in all its forms as well as sweeteners.
3. Reduce
consumption of dairy foods.
4. Avoid
foods with a high mould content such as alcohol, cheese, dried fruit and nuts.
5. Food
allergies and intolerances can exacerbate the symptoms of candidiasis so
consider bioresonance therapy.
6. Increase
fibre intake.
7.
Avoid antibiotics
Candida albicans is a complex unicellular organelle with
research showing the cell wall to be essential to nearly every aspect of its
biology and pathogenicity. The cell wall was traditionally considered an almost
inert structure that simply supplied rigidity and protection. We now know that
the cell wall acts as a permeability barrier and is the structure that
maintains the characteristic shape of the fungus. Also, as the most external
part of the cell, the wall mediates the initial physical interaction between
the microorganism and the environment, including the host.
Research
shows that the cell wall of the Candida albicans
organelle is composed of:
30-60%
Glucan (composed of cellulose and
hemicellulose; essential for structural rigidity)
25%-50%
Mannan (mannoprotein – strong immunogens that
trigger and modulate the host immune response during candidiasis)
1%-2%
Chitin (essential for structural rigidity)
2%-14%
Lipid
5%-15%
Protein
High
Strength Enzymes Target the Complex Cell Wall
Structure of Candida albicans organelle
Novel and effective treatment of the Candida
albicans organelle involves directly targeting
the complex cell wall with a unique range of high strength enzymes to break
down and digest the individual components of the cell wall. This is the first
step to bringing levels of this organelle back into a healthy balance. Key enzymes include:
·
Cellulase
·
Hemicellulase
·
Protease
·
Amylase
·
Glucoamylase
Step 2 - Reducing Candida Adhesion and Inflammation with Saccharomyces boulardii
Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic yeast which can be
successfully used as a probiotic micro-organism against a number of enteric
pathogens including Candida albicans. Saccharomyces boulardii cells have been shown to affect the
virulence factors of Candida albicans, its hyphae formation, adhesion and
biofilm development. In a recent study, carried out by Polish researchers and published
in 2010 in the peer-reviewed journal PLoS ONE, results showed capric acid,
secreted by Saccharomyces boulardii, to be the agent responsible for the
inhibition of Candida albicans2. In consecutive studies published in
2009 and 2010 in FEMS Microbiology Letters, researchers found that S boulardii significantly inhibited Candida albicans adhesion to gut wall epithelial cells
and reduced cytokine-mediated inflammatory host response. Using S boulardii to
inhibit Candida albicans, reduce adhesion and also inflammation
is an essential and highly effective second step in supporting restoration of a
healthy balance. Restore a Healthy Balance of Candida albicans:
Step
1 – Target the Cell Wall with High Strength
Enzymes
Step
2 - Reduce Candida albicans Adhesion & Inflammation
with Saccharomyces boulardii
Suggested Course:
You will need to order the
following kit
Step 1: Take Nutrispore
and Candisolve together as instructed until capsules used up.
Nutrispore is the best
anti-fungal we offer. It is especially used for removing Candida as it contains
Capryllic Acid which kills the yeast. This can also be used alongside
CandiSolve which will help to minimise die off reactions.
Step 2: Take Ultra Probioplex ND for 1 month
To follow up we recommend Ultra
Probioplex ND Capsules/Powder which contains a total of 15 billion organisms (Lactobacillus
acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium lactis BI-07).
Step 3: Take Probiotic Plus and Glutagenics for 1 month
Probiotic Plus which is not as
strong and a good maintenance product as it is less expensive. In addition we
also then advise Glutagenics which will help repair the gut.
