A lot of people suffer from candidiasis, candida infection.

Candida is a unicellular fungus that normally lives in the mouth, intestine, vagina, skin, without producing clinical manifestations, being kept under control by: beneficial bacteria, the immune system, the body's normal pH. When this balance is disrupted (by antibiotics, which destroy the beneficial bacteria, by stress or cortisone, which inhibits immunity, by a diet high in sugar or other carbohydrates, because candida feeds on sugar), candida multiplies uncontrollably, leading to candidiasis.

Here are some useful measures in intestinal candidiasis, which should be adopted in all other forms of candidiasis, because it is useless to treat vaginal or cutaneous oral candidiasis, if candida remains active in the intestine:

  1. The antifungal diet, which is absolutely essential:
    • Completely exclude for at least 3-4 weeks from the diet: sugar (including honey, syrups, dried fruits), sweet fruits (such as bananas, grapes, mango), white bread, pasta, white flour, dairy products (especially fermented cheese and milk), alcohol, including beer, vinegar (except raw apple vinegar), fermented products.

        2. Phase 1 of treatment

    • Fungus elimination (21 days):
      • Berberine, 500 mg, twice daily, before meals;
      • Oil of oregano (enteric capsules) 150-200 mg carvacrol, one capsule twice a day, with meals. Do not take on an empty stomach.
      • Extra virgin coconut oil. 1 teaspoon 2-3 times/day, after meals. Can be gradually increased to 1 tablespoon, if it doesn't cause nausea. I recommend in coffee or tea, blended well in a blender

3. Phase 2 of treatment:

    • Restoring the flora and mucous (after day 21, for 3 months).:
      • Probiotic - 1 capsule/day, in the morning on an empty stomach, for 2-3 months;
      • Zeolite spectrum - to restore the intestinal mucosa, 6 capsules per day, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. In some people may give, in the first few days, a transient constipation, which is why it is better to drink 2 liters of water a day. Because zeolite detoxifies the body, it is possible that dizziness, headaches and digestive symptoms may occur during the first few days due to the elimination of a large quantity of toxins. Therefore, it is best to start with 1 capsule a day and increase the dose gradually, by 1 capsule a day, until the normal dose is reached.
      • Optional, but recommended, for liver support: silymarin, 1 capsule daily.

In case of oral thrush, add:

1. Coconut oil - very good

  • Contains lauric and caprylic acids, with direct antifungal effect.
  • How to use:
    • Oil pulling: 1 tablespoon of coconut oil held in the mouth for 10-15 minutes, then spit out 1-2 times a day.
    • It can also be applied directly to the mucous membrane, with a sterile stick, 2-3 times a day.
  • Advantage: mild, safe even for children.

2. Oregano oil 

  • It is one of the most powerful natural antifungal (contains carvacrol and thymol).
  • How to use:
    • Do not apply directly as it irritates the mucous membrane!
    • Dilute 1-2 drops in 1 tablespoon of coconut or olive oil, then rinse for 1-2 minutes and spit.
    • Once a day at first, then every 2 days if irritation occurs.
  • Contraindicated in young children and pregnant women.
