Once you have read this article, for more detailed information, we suggest you read "Candida Treatment" by Mark G. Lester, Diector of The Finchley Clinic and "Conquering Candida" written by our colleague Sherridan Stock. There are over 150 species of candida. * Candida albicans Foods to eliminate: A) Excess sugar consumption, of which most people are guilty, suppresses immunity (by depressing neutrophil and lymphocyte activity), and alcohol has a similar effect. Sugar, of course, also feeds Candida. Candida releases poisons in blood causing all kinds of symptoms. The toxins that are released include: * Ethanol : Produced when yeast has lots of food. Excess ethanol can cause symptoms of alcohol intoxication Typical symptoms of Candida include (but are not limited to) : ~Note from Golden Illumination~ I struggled with Candida for 25 years! I was blessed to find some great information. Get off of bread. I now eat Sourdough bread. This bread does not have any yeast, or sweeteners in it of any kind. Make sure it has a sourdough starter and is not made with white flour. If you have a whole foods market call them to see if they carry fresh Sourdough in their bakery. Foods rich in oils can overwork the liver, weaken the pancreas, and cause dampness, we suggest that individuals with candida use nuts, seeds, avocados, oils and other fatty foods very sparingly. Eliminate all unshelled nuts, peanut butter & almond butter..they are all rancid. Eliminate all oils from one's diet. Also eliminate foods that are WHITE: flour, potatoes, rice, pasta, sugar, cereal. From an acupuncture theory oil creates dampness and dampness creates a wonderful environment for the fungus to GROW! Oils are all rancid except for the ones that are labeled UNREFINED. Oils need to be refrigerated. After 3 months my Candida was gone by eliminating these foods. Conditions of dampness include edema or watery accumulations in all or parts of the body, excess mucus, tumors, cysts, parasites, yeasts such as candida, fungi, excess body weight, and a thick and/or greasy tongue coating. Dampness affects the functioning of the spleen and pancreas, and therefore weakens digestion. Dryness decreases fluids in the body resulting in dry skin, chapped lips, thirst, dry nose, and throat, constipation, unproductive cough, thin body type. Dryness particularly affects the lungs. Foods that dry dampness are often bitter:

Natural Unleavened Bread
Natural leaveners introduce live airborne yeasts into dough and yield a bread that is light and totally digestible with a distinctive and delicious sweet or sour taste. Some natural leavening agents are sourdough, miso, rejuvelac, fermented cooked grains, etc. Quality sourdough products were, until the last few years, a commercial variety in America, although with alittle perseverance they can nearly always be found in Europe. Recently, however, a number of new as well as established American bakeries are offering a variety of sourdough products, made simply with ingredients such as organic whole-grain flour, whole salt, and pure water. Sourdough and natural leavening have been with us for thousands of years. Yeast for bread is a relatively recent innovation, discovered in the chemist's lab in France about one hundred years ago. According to some European researchers, naturally leavened bread is superior to cultured yeasted bread. Yeasted bread is linked to stomach bloat, indigestion, thin blood, and weak intestines; yeasted products seem uncannily to exacerbate conditions that occur with Candida yeast overgrowth symptoms, including many degenerative diseases. Thus, various European and - more recently - certain American health clinics forbid their clients yeasted bread. Commercial yeasted breads, even the whole-grain variety, often have other problems. They typically contain flour bleach, which forms alloxan, a compound known to cause diabetes in animals by destroying the beta cells of the pancreas (Clinical Nutritional Newsletter, Dec. 1982). Other benefits of naturally leavened breads: · The long proofing allows the fermenting agents to break down the celluose structure and release nutrients into the dough, improving its nutritional value. · Contains lactobacillus, which helps generate the intestional flora essential for proper digestion and elimination. · The natural bacterial action and baking neutralize nearly all of the phytic acid which occurs in wheat and other grains.(Phytic acid reduces mineral metabolism-especially in those whose diet includes a good percentage of grains and legumes-and can contribute to anemia, nervous disorders, and rickets). About 90% of the phytic acid remains in yeasted breads. · It stays edible for weeks and is more delicious and nutritious in 5 to 10 days, if stored in a cool dry place.
