Candidiasis Natural Treatment Part 1

Therapeutic Foods

These therapeutic foods will help you get well:

Cultured dairy products. Consume 8 to 32 ounces of the highest quality cultured dairy products. Try to find yogurt that does not contain the organism Streptococcus therophilus, a bacterial microbe that has been implicated in the exacerbation of certain immune system disorders.

Grass fed red meat. Red meat from grass fed cattle, buffalo, and lamb is very healthy and can be eaten several times per week. This meat is a great source of protein, minerals, vitamin B12, vitamin D, beta carotene, omega 3 fats, and CLA.

Omega 3 eggs. Consume as many as two to four eggs high in the omega 3 fatty acids each day. These eggs contain DHA, vitamins E and B12, and antioxidants.

Coconut oil. This oil is perhaps the healthiest of the widely available oils. We recommend cooking almost exclusively with coconut oil. Consume as much as 2 to 4 tablespoons of the oil in cooking, in smoothies, or right off the spoon. It contains large amounts of lauric acid, a potent antimicrobial and one of the chief fatty acids in breast milk.

Ocean caught fish. This type of fish is perhaps the of all protein sources. Salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, and tuna are high in the omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Ocean caught fish can be consumed every day to enhance digestive and immune system health.

Cod liver oil. 1 teaspoon of plain or flavored cod liver oil each day. Cod liver oil is a fantastic source of the omega 3 fats DHA and EPA, as well as vitamins A and D.

Vegetable juice. As long as your diarrhea is not active, consume vegetable juices that are low in carbohydrates, such as celery and green juices, mixed with a small amount of higher carbohydrate veggies, such as carrot or beet. Mix in some form of health fat with each glass of the juice. A teaspoon of cultured milk, coconut milk and cream, or flaxseed oil enhances the absorption of minerals and prevents spikes in blood sugar.

Fermented vegetables. Consume a few tablespoons of fermented vegetables such as sauerkraut with each meal to aid in digestion. Fermented vegetables are excellent sources of naturally occurring probiotics and enzymes.

Stocks. Consume stocks on a regular basis, especially when you have a cold or flu. Stocks made from the bones of chicken, fish, lamb, or beef contain minerals, gelatin, cartilage, collagen, and electrolytes. Stocks help to heal the gut lining and reduce inflammation.
