Cure Candida

I read in a book about natural cures that there is a cure for candida however i no longer have acess to that book and i can’t find a website that doesn’t want to sell me something.
candida is a fungus and antibiotics actually cause it to be worse

The best person to see would be a qualified and reputable Naturopath who deals with women’s issues – not your GP. Modern medicine only goes so far with candida and isn’t a permanent soloution.

The best natural things to do that have worked for me are to :

* Cut down on your sugar intake – sugar encourages yeast to grow in your body

* Avoid ANYTHING with yeast – especially bread! Check all processed foods ingredient lists to make sure they’re ok.
Eg. Original flavour doritos are fine but Nacho Cheese doritos have yeast plus a whole heap of other things.

* If you must eat bread try corn tortilla’s or eat sourdough bread that creates it’s own yeast and doesn’t have any added. Always avoid white starchy processed bread.

* Avoid any foods that may have mould in them, aged cheeses (stick to younger ones like mozzarella) mushrooms etc

* Take acidpholous tablets (available at your chemist in the refrigerated section) They help to promote good bacteria in your body.

* Drink heaps of water

* Avoid alcohol – it does the same thing as sugar

* Avoid any cured or pickled foods – eg ham, salami – essentially the more processed food is the worse it is for candida

* Not sure where you live but I’m in Australia where we have a priduct called Vegemite which is essentially made out of a yeast extract – avoid anything like this (similar to marmite and promite)

Finally, eat heaps of vegetables!

Have a look at the sites listed in the sources section. Good Luck!
