As part of your Candida treatment through the Candida diet, you will also have to cut all kind of foods which may contain yeast. This means that you have to temporarily give up having bread, alcoholic drinks, black tea, cheese or vinegar. The reason for this is the fact that these yeast-containing foods encourage the multiplication of the Candida yeast infection. Try to replace these foods by consuming green vegetables, salads, poultry, meat and fish. Pay attention to the way you prepare these foods. The Candida diet requires you to use plenty of garlic, ginger, extra-virgin olive oil and herbs like rosemary, thyme, lemon balm or marjoram because all these have a very hostile effect on the Candida yeast infection. Whenever you are following the Candida diet, remember to drink at least 2 litres of water every day in order to help your body eliminate the toxins produced by the death of the Candida yeast. A part of the Candida treatment is the use of Acidophilus, a supplement which is replenishing the amount of good bacteria in your body. The best way to benefit from this supplement to have the most deadly effect on your Candida yeast infection is to swallow one capsule and insert another one in yur vagina every night before going to bed. Vitamins represent an important part of the Candida treatment because they help your body fight against the Candida yeast infection and they postpone the effects of the menopause. Combine the Candida diet with vitamin C (which is strengthening your white blood cells) and you will stop the Candida yeast infection from spreading in the affected area. Vitamin C is also helping the adrenal glands in your body, the glands responsible for the small amounts of oestrogen in your body after the appearance of the menopause. Therefore, you should take about 1,000 mg of vitamin c six times a day for three days. After this strong amount, reduce the vitamin C to 1,000 mg taken twice every day for a month. But be careful not to take too much vitamin C as it causes diarrhoea. Zinc is another substance you should include in your Candida treatment, as it helps your immune system. Zinc also has an extremely toxic effect on Trichomonas, the single-celled organism responsible for vaginitis. Therefore you should include in your Candida diet 15 mg on zinc citrate taken twice a day for 30 days. Vitamin E is another ally for the fight against the Candida yeast infection because it is helping your body develop resistance against the Trichomonas organism. It is also maintaining a healthy balance of the hormone level in your body and it calms the vaginal dryness. An amount of 400 IU a day of vitamin E in the form on d-alpha tocopherol is enough for your Candida treatment. Vitamins B are other supplements which have a relief effect on the dryness caused by menopause. These substances stimulate your body to produce more oestrogen supplies or they even have an oestrogen-like effect on the Candida yeast infection. In conclusion, whenever you are experience vaginal pain or dryness and a heavy abnormal discharge, consult a doctor to thoroughly identify the cause of your discomfort, but don't rush into taking strong chemical drugs as Candida treatment. Try a Candida diet which is more healthy and less hostile to your body! |
