Since the beginning of my blog, I have focused mainly on Candida Trigger Foods like Refined Carbohydrates, Fast Food, Pre-Packaged foods, and Foods High in Sugar, and how to transition away from these foods.
For this post, I want to shed light on some possible signs and symptoms of a Candida Infection that can be the underlying cause of your sugar and refined carbohydrate cravings.
All of these "Cures" are more effective with a transition towards a diet high in Whole Grains (Quinoa, Oatmeal, Amaranth, Millet, Buckwheat, and Brown Rice), fruits and vegetables, Organic Meats and Dairy, Nuts, Legumes (Beans and Lentils), Oils (Olive and Coconut), and Teas (Any Herbal Tea).
Here is a List of the Following Symptoms and how to Treat them:
White Tongue: A white or yellow film on your tongue that appears worse upon waking.
Cure: Eat Plain Yogurt regularly that is high in Probiotic CFU's. Eating yogurt, rather than taking supplements, is necessary to directly target the Candida in your mouth and throat. When switching from a diet high in refined carbohydrates to one that is full of whole foods, the film will become thicker as yeast cells die and are flushed from the body through mucous membranes.
Itchy Ears: When your Ear Canals Itch, become Inflamed, and Produce a yellow fluid that has an Odor.
Cure #1: Eat Plain Yogurt regularly as Detailed Above. Introducing Probiotics into your mouth and throat directly will allow good bacteria to multiply in your Eustachian Tubes and then into your Ear Canal.
Cure #2: Mix a mild white vinegar solution (1 parts Vinegar to 3 parts water) and wet the tip of a Q-tip and apply to your ear canal. Try a pre-made vinegar spray that you can also use to clean with.
Increased Sweating: Sweat that has an odor and stains the underarms of your White T-shirts Yellow.
Cure #1: Replace sugary drinks with water and Eat plenty of Chlorophyll-containing Green Vegetables (Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Cilantro, Parsley, Collard Greens). Chlorophyll tablets are a quick solution, but not a long-term solution.
Cure#2: Increase sweating through exercise, sauna’s, and warm baths. Drink plenty of water. If you are embarrassed by the smell of your sweat, try exercising in nature. Not only is there hardly anyone around, but you get a good dose of fresh air. Try to go without deodorant while exercising or sweating to help eliminate many of the toxins.
Severe Dandruff: A condition that can cause severe dandruff is called Seborrheic Dermatitis. Dandruff is an inflammation of the skin that creates flaking and redness of the scalp caused by a fungus like Candida that is called Malasseizia (1).
Cure #1: Fill a new plastic condiment bottle with an equal parts Apple Cider Vinegar and water mixture and apply directly to the scalp while showering. Let sit and rinse. You can also apply it before you shower and let it soak in to the scalp. Apple Cider Vinegar is beneficial here because it is great for your hair and makes it shine.
Cure#2: Boil Fennel Seeds in a sauce pan to create a dark tea and then allow to cool. Strain the seeds and add the solution to a condiment bottle. Apply the solution to your scalp in the shower before you shampoo. (Other antifungal teas like Pau d’Arco are just as effective.
Cure #3: Melt and cool Coconut Oil, apply to the scalp and then shampoo. It is best to do this on the weekend because it will make your hair a little bit oily for a day or so.
Cure #4: Dandruff Shampoos containing Zinc Oxide or Selenium Sulfide as well as zinc and selenium supplements.
Cure #5:
Foods high in Zinc: Lamb, Beef, Scallops, Sesame Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Oats, Yogurt and Turkey.
Foods high in Selenium: Brazil Nuts, Sunflower Seeds, Fish, Shellfish, Meat, Eggs, Whole Grains and Onions.
Skin Rashes: Rashes on the Skin or around Mucous Membranes that Itch and Burn.
Cure #1: Soak the affected area or apply equal parts white vinegar and water solution, you can also try a baking soda and water solution.
Cure #2: Keep the affected area clean, cool and dry. Fungus loves moisture and warmth, robbing it of its needs helps eliminate it. Not covering the rash and exposing it to sunlight helps too.
Athlete’s Foot and Yellow Toenails: Inflammation, Itching and Burning of the Feet.
Cure #1: Soak your feet in a bowl of vinegar water with one part vinegar and one part water. You can also try Baking Soda solution instead.
Cure #2: Apply liquified and cooled coconut oil to your feet and cover with cotton socks.
Cure #3: Expose your feet to the sun.
Cure #4: Go barefoot as often as possible.
Digestive Problems: Constipation, Dehydration, Blood in Stool, Pain and Bloating.
Cure #1: Eat plenty of plain yogurt and drink plenty of water.
Cure#2: Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to help with digestion
Cure#3: Ingest Plenty of Spices and Natural Antifungals: Cayenne Pepper, Garlic, Onion, Oregano Oil, Capryllic Acid, Pau D'Arco, Black Walnut, Cinnamon, Nut Meg, Worm Wood.
Yeast Infections of the Reproductive Organs: General itching, pain and redness; cottage cheese-like and odorless discharge; and a pH that is normal or acidic.
Cure #1: Add a generous amount of White Vinegar to your Bath Water, or apply one parts vinegar and 2 parts water solution to the affected area.
Cure #2: Inserting Acidophilus Capsules (supplements) to the affected area introduces probiotics directly to the source.
