Introduction

Welcome! Your prayers are about to be answered! For those of you who

have been struggling with fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, aches and pains, vaginal

yeast infections, jock itch, toenail fungus, sinus infections, respiratory issues,

bloating, gas, heartburn, skin conditions such as acne, eczema and rashes,

etc.…you have come to the right place.

This book will provide you with a comprehensive plan of action to take

control of your life for good. You will gain a deeper understanding of how

Candida/Yeast Overgrowth develops, why you experience it, and how to regain

your health by ending the vicious cycle of repeated illness.

Doctors estimate that 75% of the female population has experienced

symptoms of Candida/Yeast overgrowth. Our personal experience with clients

indicates that an even higher percentage of people are struggling with systemic

Candida/Yeast overgrowth. Many aren’t even aware that this imbalance could

actually contribute to more than 90% of their health issues. This e-book was

designed to answer all of your questions and to give you the information you

need to address all of the aspects of Candida/Yeast overgrowth so that you can

4


reclaim your life! We have written this book because so many of our clients

have cleaned up their diet and taken herbs , yet they still struggle with literally

feeling like “crap”. We wanted to fill in the gaps and provide the answers that

people need to get well, stay well and live a life of joy and vitality! Thank you

for inviting us on your journey to good health.

IS CANDIDA/YEAST OVERGROWTH HARMING YOUR HEALTH?

What is Candida/Yeast Overgrowth?

Our general overall health and well being relies on the harmonic balance of a

variety of organisms found in the digestive tract. It is estimated that we host

anywhere from 2 to 4 pounds of beneficial microorganisms in our intestinal tract,

most of which are friendly bacteria and fungi. Yeast is a part of the fungi class. In

fact, most yeast strains are beneficial to the body. Only when our body (our

biological terrain) becomes unbalanced does a small group of organisms, mostly

in the Candida genus, cause problems. Yeast overgrowth can produce a myriad of

symptoms, everything from the most obvious, such as vaginal yeast infections and

toenail fungus, to those that might not seem linked to Candida/Yeast at first

glance, such as chronic sinus infections, food allergies, muscle aches, painful

joints, digestive disturbances, sugar cravings and weight gain. All of these

conditions can be a result of Candida/Yeast overgrowth. Keep in mind that we

don’t want to get rid of all of the Candida/Yeast because it is a natural part of our

digestive system. Bringing the body back into balance, however, is always the key

to restoring health.

8


Symptoms of Candida/Yeast Overgrowth

Candida/Yeast overgrowth sneaks up on you over time. It is not something

you just wake up with some morning. You might come down with a sinus

infection or a vaginal yeast infection or even jock itch. The doctor may give you

some sort of antifungal agent to take care of the symptoms and you feel OK again.

But did you get at the root cause of the problem? Most likely you have just

covered up the problem and Candida/Yeast is waging a war inside your body. This

leads to what we refer to as systemic infection, where the fungus invades the

bloodstream, tissues and organs. Here are some conditions that can indicate

systemic Candida/Yeast overgrowth:

Chronic fatigue Migraines

Food allergies Yeast infections

Asthma Fibromyalgia

Gas and bloating PMS

Weight gain Depression

Cancer Irritable bowel

9


Overgrowth Leads To Disease

As Candida/Yeast grows out of control, they can burrow into your intestinal

wall, creating tiny holes in the membrane lining. This is called “leaky gut”

because these tiny holes allow for the Candida/Yeast and their toxic byproducts

along with undigested food particles to “leak out” into the blood stream where

they are carried throughout your entire body. This causes an allergic reaction,

which leads to bloating, fluid retention, food cravings, liver overload, thyroid

dysfunction, hormonal imbalance and more stress. Wow, could this actually lead

to Autoimmune Diseases? You betcha! We believe yeast overgrowth is a major

player in all Autoimmune Diseases (MS, fibromyalgia, lupus, etc.) A good sign

that you may have a serious yeast problem is feeling exceptionally tired all the

time and/or anxious. If you have serious cravings for sugar and carbohydrates;

that is the yeast saying “Feed Me!”

10


Candida/Yeast and the Link to Cancer

Dr. T. Simoncini, an oncologist from Rome, has been working with cancer and

Candida/Yeast for many years. He believes that at the root of cancerous tumors

lie Candida colonies. In his book “Cancer is a Fungus”, he describes how he has

found that injecting tumors directly with sodium bicarbonate actually kills the

tumor from the inside out. Yeast cannot survive in the presence of highly alkaline

sodium bicarbonate. Dr. Simoncini has been using this unique treatment of

cancer for over 20 years with great results, even on those patients who had

exhausted all conventional treatments and were literally “given up on”. Candida

overgrowth can be the root cause of a number of symptoms and conditions.

However, at its worst, it can invade deep into organs, weakening the immune

system and causing the spread of cancerous growths. It is common sense, then,

to say that keeping Candida in balance is a great cancer prevention. By

the way, did you know that both Candida/Yeast and cancer love to live in

overly acidic conditions? We will talk more about pH later.

11


OK, SO HOW DO I DETERMINE IF I HAVE YEAST OVERGROWTH?

Questionnaire

Fill out the Candida/Yeast Questionnaire to find out if overgrowth is negatively affecting your health.

Total Score, Section C _______

Total Score, Section B _______

Total Score, Section A _______

Grand Total Score (add totals from Sections A, B and C) _______

The Grand Total Score will help you and your healthcare practitioner decide if your health problems are yeast-connected. Scores for women will run higher, as 7 items in this questionnaire apply exclusively to women, while only 2 apply exclusively to men.

Yeast-connected health problems are almost certainly present in women with scores over 180, and in men with scores over 140.

Yeast-connected health problems are probably present in women with scores over 120, and in men with scores over 90.

Yeast-connected health problems are possibly present in women with scores over 60, and in men with scores over 40.

With scores less than 60 for women and 40 for men, yeast is less apt to cause health problems.

18


Spit Test

First thing in the morning before eating , drinking

or brushing your teeth, work up some saliva and

deposit it into a clear glass of water. After about 15

to 30 minutes, look through the side of the glass; if

there are strings coming down from your saliva, or if

the water turned cloudy, or if your saliva sank to the

bottom… You May Have a Yeast or Fungal Concern.

If there are no strings and your saliva is still on top of the water after 1 hour, you

most likely do not have Candida/Yeast overgrowth.

IonCleanse® Foot Bath

IonCleanse® foot baths can be very helpful to get an idea of what is going on

in the body. This is a treatment where your bare feet are put into a water bath

with a metal devise called an array which ionizes the water. These free-floating

ions enter through the pores of the feet and latch onto oppositely charged toxins

and acid wastes in the body. Through a process called osmosis, the neutralized

19


toxins and waste material are literally pulled back out the pores of the feet into

the foot bath water. After a 30-minute treatment, the water will have different

colored particulates and turn quite dark. The colors refer to different parts of the

body being detoxified.

Candida/Yeast will show up within the first 15 minutes of the treatment as

white cheesy material floating on top of the water. If you have Candida/Yeast

overgrowth, you will have this in your water, and the more that forms, the more

serious the overgrowth. Check for the presence of “black flecks” (heavy metals)

as well. Everyone has some of these in their water, and some will even form from

the ionizing plates, but if your water is littered with black flecks it is a sign that

you could use a heavy metal cleanse. In some cases, a heavy metal detox

supplement may be a necessary addition to your Candida Cleanse protocol.

20


THE KEY TO FANTASTIC HEALTH IS TO STAY BALANCED So what does staying balanced really mean? The body works perfectly

when it is in a state of dynamic self-regulation called Homeostasis. This is

the human body regulating and maintaining the optimum internal

environment for cellular life under all circumstances. In other words, if you

are exposed to a virus, it will not get a toehold if you are in a state of

Homeostasis. If you are out of balance, with stressed-out organs, the virus

has a good chance to take up residence, because the internal environment

(your biological terrain) is making a nice party place for it. Being a great host

is not always in your best interest.

What Tips the Scales in Favor of

Candida/Yeast Overgrowth?

You may ask, well how does this Candida/Yeast end up growing out of control?

The answer lies in anything that upsets the balance and harmony of our biological

terrain.

21


Antibiotics are the biggest culprits when it comes to disrupting our digestive

system. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are not selective in their destruction of

organisms. Many of the “good” bacteria that keep the yeast in check are also

destroyed by antibiotics. It is kind of like throwing the baby out with the bath

water. In order to get rid of the bad microorganisms, the population of good

microorganisms becomes collateral damage.

Unfortunately, the average American has had more than their share of

antibiotics, often within the first 5 years of life. On top of that, much of our food,

especially chicken, turkey, dairy and beef, expose us to even more, as antibiotics

are a common if not standard part of the animals’ diet. It is estimated that over

25 million pounds of antibiotics are fed to livestock each year. If they consume it,

we consume it.

A number of other drugs can also disrupt the natural balance in the digestive

system. Some of these offenders are steroids, HRT (hormone replacement

therapy), birth control pills and antacids. Most drugs compromise our immune

system, which can lead to an overgrowth of Candida/Yeast. Antacids in particular

neutralize the natural acid in the stomach which nature provided to keep

22


Candida/Yeast and unwanted parasites in check. We are not fans of antacids, as

they compromise the immune system more than most folks realize.

Besides drugs, stress and diet can create ideal conditions for Candid/Yeast

overgrowth.

Stress contributes by lowering immune function and creating an acidic

environment that is perfect for growing Candida/Yeast. Minimizing stress

through exercise, meditation, mini-vacations and a positive attitude will do

wonders for your immune system and overall health while fostering an

environment that is unfriendly to unwanted organisms.

Another interesting note is that Candida/Yeast has a connection to heavy

metals and parasites. It seems that yeast is attracted to heavy metals and can be

difficult to get control of if the body is toxic. Some parasites like to feed on yeast,

so with a depressed immune system and yeast overgrowth, it makes for the

perfect environment to host a variety of parasites. In some cases it may be

23


necessary to do a heavy metal detox or parasite cleanse along with a program to

balance the yeast.

Diet is often what actually “feeds” the yeast problem. Candida/Yeast thrives

on sugar; that means anything we eat that turns to sugar is feeding them,

including sweets, refined carbohydrates, alcohol and even caffeine.

Candida/Yeast secretes a chemical that causes sugar cravings. This ensures that

the average host will continue to supply them with the fuel they need to multiply

and continue the cycle of craving sugar, eating sugar and Candida/Yeast

overgrowth.

Are You Actually Manifesting Candida/Yeast Overgrowth?

Did you know that your feelings, emotions and beliefs can either help you get

well or keep you from healing? We are not just a body, separate from our mind

and emotions. Beliefs that formed as a result of our experiences and upbringing

have a great influence on our health and success in life. Each of us creates the

circumstances of our lives. We manifest illness or health, success or failure, as a

result of our thoughts, our emotions and our belief system. Feelings of being

24


used or being sucked dry by others who drain you of energy also can set the stage

for Candida/Yeast overgrowth. Those who feel they must be a good host can

sometimes have underlying beliefs that do not allow them to “kick out” the yeast.

Feelings of resentment, either toward others or yourself also can create an

environment for them to thrive. It is amazing how the mind/body works, and you

really must be aware of each aspect. We will touch more on this later.

5 IMPORTANT STEPS TO CONQUER CANDIDA/YEAST

AND REGAIN BALANCE

1. Kill the Candida/Yeast Overgrowth (Antifungal Products)

2. Repopulate the Gut with Good Bacteria

3. Repair the Damage to the Gut

4. Change Your Biological Terrain

5. Don’t Invite Them Back

25


1. Kill the Candida/Yeast Overgrowth

There are a number of great products that either kill

yeast or make a very unfriendly environment for it to

grow in. It is wise to remain on some sort of antifungal

herb for 30 to 90 days. There are some “heavy duty”

packaged cleanses that run for 2 weeks, but realistically this is not enough

time to rebalance the system.

Pau D’ Arco comes from the bark of a tree known as Taheebo and is one of

the best available herbs to fight Candida/Yeast. It grows primarily in the rain

forests of South America and is known to be immune to any fungal growth.

Traditionally it has been used to strengthen and support the circulatory and

immune systems and also has been used as an anti-cancer remedy. Pau D’

Arco tones the intestinal tract and acts as a blood purifier. We recommend

about a quart of the tea a day to fight Candida infections. You may also take it

in capsule form. Follow the recommended dosage on the label.

Garlic is a natural antibiotic and has been shown to be more effective than

many antifungal medications. It will expel and kill hookworms, pinworms,

26


roundworms and tapeworms. Garlic stimulates the immune system, has anti-

tumor properties and is often used for circulatory and respiratory ailments.

Take as a supplement and add more fresh garlic to your diet.

Olive Leaf Extract has been used for medicinal purposes for hundreds of

years. It has been shown to be an effective remedy for nearly every

pathogenic organism and is particularly effective against Candida/Yeast

overgrowth. Olive leaf extract is antiviral and quite effective at killing a wide

range of parasitic worms. It is anti-inflammatory and inhibits the oxidation of

LDL cholesterol.

Wild Oregano Oil is a potent antimicrobial essential oil. Used well diluted

on the soles of the feet, oregano oil is very effective against bacterial and

fungal infections. This oil can be irritating to the skin, so dilute well. It is

readily absorbed through the large pores of the feet and enters the

bloodstream almost immediately. Do this right before bed when you feel like

you are coming down with something. It usually nips it in the bud very quickly.

Wild oregano oil is not for long-term use as it can be hard on the liver. Use it

as a short term (1 – 2 weeks) addition to your Candida/Yeast program.

27


Caprylic Acid Combination contains caprylic acid, a natural fatty acid

known to be antifungal and immune boosting. It is quickly absorbed in the

intestines and helps maintain the delicate balance of microflora. Elecampane

and black walnut are also part of this combination, adding a significant anti-

parasitical effect. A side benefit of Elecampane is its inulin content, which

soothes and helps repair the lining of the digestive tract.

Yeast Fungal Detox is a blend of antifungal herbs (Pau D’ Arco, Garlic and

Oregano). It also contains the antifungal compounds caprylic acid, sodium

propionate and sorbic acid, which reduce yeast overgrowth. Echinacea,

selenium and zinc are added as immune stimulators. This is a powerful

antifungal herbal combination that has been used with much success.

2. Repopulate the Gut with Good Bacteria

Repopulating the gut with friendly bacteria is extremely important as you

are killing the yeast. As one population of microorganisms declines, others will

multiply to “fill the space”. We want more of the beneficial bacteria to fill that

space to rebalance the population to a degree where the “good guys” keep the

“bad guys” in check. These good bacteria have specific functions in the body

and are referred to as probiotics. It is recommended to rotate your probiotics

28


to make sure as many friendly bacteria as possible are given a chance to

multiply and restore harmonic balance.

Acidophilus Bacteria flourish in the small

intestine, where they assist in enzyme production.

This enhances nutrient absorption. These bacteria

produce a natural antibiotic in the gut and the

enzyme lactase, which assists in the breakdown of milk products. It produces

an array of B-Vitamins, and Vitamin K which has been previously overlooked

for its major contributions to proper blood clotting and bone health.

Bifidophilus Flora Force contains both Acidophilus bacteria and Bifido-

bacteria which are most prominent in the large intestine. The Bifido-bacteria

secrete substances that inhibit the growth of toxic bacteria. Caprylic acid is

one of these. Bifido-bacteria are extremely important for babies, as they help

develop a child’s natural defenses.

Probiotic Eleven is a heavy-duty probiotic, containing 11 different strains of

friendly bacteria. This not only helps to reestablish a variety of species in the

gut, but also provides the competition to keep the “bad” bugs in check. This is

29


our number one recommendation to use during your Candida/Yeast program

and has been the most potent remedy to restore intestinal balance.

3. Repair the Damage to the Gut

Damage to cells and the lining of the intestinal tract are often a result of

Candida/Yeast overgrowth. As they burrow into the

membrane lining, they create tiny holes causing the

intestinal walls to become excessively porous. This allows

toxins and undigested food particles to literally “leak” out

into the bloodstream. Leaky gut syndrome has been linked

to a variety of health issues, including ADD/ADHD,

depression, allergies, asthma, skin disease and autoimmune problems.

Soothing, protecting and restoring cell health will ensure a healthy and

balanced biological terrain that will stand strong against reinfection. There

are several herbs that help improve the health of the intestines and repair the

damage.

30


Una de Gato (cat’s claw) is both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. It

helps to reduce intestinal permeability and heal leaky gut. This is also a great

immune builder.

Kudzu/St. John’s Wort also reduces gut permeability, healing leaky gut

while toning intestinal membranes. The St. John’s Wort is helpful, since poor

digestion can often cause brain fogginess, anxiety and depression.

Intestinal Soothe and Build contains mucilagenic herbs (slippery elm and

marshmallow) that soothe irritated tissue and help repair damaged cells.

Other herbs that assist digestion also have been added. This formula assists in

detoxifying the bowel and balancing intestinal flora.

L-Glutamine is an amino acid that plays a key role in cellular growth and

repair. It is especially important for the function of the brain, muscles and

immune and digestive systems. L-Glutamine has been used to speed the

healing of “leaky gut”.

31


4. Change Your Biological Terrain

Permanently changing your internal environment (your

biological terrain) to be unfriendly to unwanted organisms

is essential to staying balanced and not relapsing into a

condition of Candida/Yeast overgrowth. There are several steps you can take

not only to avoid stressors that throw your system out of balance, but also to

enhance and strengthen your biological terrain to resist disease and unwanted

visitors. Here are a few that will bring you closer to a state of Homeostasis.

We guarantee you will improve your overall health and well being if you follow

these suggestions.

Avoid Drugs

Drugs can be a major contributor to overgrowth of Candida/Yeast.

Strengthening the body’s immune defenses with key supplements such as a

good multi-vitamin mineral supplement, antioxidants and Omega-3 essential

fatty acids, along with eating healthy organic whole foods, can go a long way

to reduce the occurrence of infection and the need for antibiotics. Silver

32


Shield (a natural silver antibiotic) can be used in case of infection instead of

antibiotics, which are some of the worst drugs for causing yeast overgrowth.

Throw away your antacids and buy some enzymes to take with your

meals. Enzymes help break down food, addressing the root cause of

heartburn without upsetting the natural balance of microflora.

Steroids are often used for inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Eating

right and taking natural anti-inflammatory supplements such as Thai-Go (an

antioxidant fruit drink) or Una de Gato, Yucca, Noni or Everflex can help ease you

away from the need to take steroids.

Think twice before using hormone replacement therapy and birth control

pills. There are non-drug alternatives to birth control, and many natural herbs

that can help with menopause or hormone imbalance. Our favorites include Pro-

G-Yam 500 (a natural plant based progesterone cream), which helps balance

hormones with the added benefit of building bone and protecting against

osteoporosis, Black Cohosh and the herbal combinations Female Comfort, Flash

Ease and Cramp Relief. Replacing drugs with natural supplements and herbs will

keep your body in balance without the side effects and digestive upset. (Oh,

33


don’t worry about how to get a hold of the supplements mentioned in this book,

a summary will be provided at the end with information about how to order).

Manage Stress

Stress affects us in more ways than we realize, suppressing the immune

system and setting up ideal conditions for Candida/Yeast overgrowth. Add some

extra B-Complex and Vitamin C to your daily intake, as stress burns these up

faster than we can take them in through our food.

Take some time to relax. Get away from your work and family stress for at

least a few minutes every day. A quick meditation of deep breathing and

grounding yourself can make a big difference in how you deal with the rest of the

day. Take a walk or exercise every day to release tension and improve

circulation. Hot baths with 1 cup of Epsom salts and your favorite essential oils

can be akin to a mini-vacation. We like lavender and chamomile for their soothing

and relaxing properties.

Think about what you would love to do, and make it happen. Years can go by

before we realize we could have made more time for fun, or gone on that

34


vacation. Hindsight is always 20/20. Stop now and give thanks for all that you

have. Gratefulness is a big stress and fear buster. Find the joy in life, and if you

can’t quite get there, talk to a counselor or try some ThetaHealing™.

ThetaHealing™ connects you to the creator and allows you to experience the true

joy in everything. It can literally remove negative energies and non-supporting

beliefs stuck at the DNA level that you may not even be aware of. ThetaHealing™

replaces these negative energies with more positive and supportive beliefs that

help you move forward to enjoy all of the many blessings that are available to

you.

Improve Digestion

Improving digestion and intestinal health addresses one of the root causes of

Candida/Yeast overgrowth. Yeast and toxic bacteria feed on undigested food,

causing a population explosion. Undigested food creates toxins in the body, and

proteins putrefy, causing foul-smelling stools. Carbohydrates will ferment, causing

gas and bloating, and fats become rancid, resulting in free-radical damage. This

alone puts a lot of stress on the body, which weakens the immune system. Add in

all the toxins that the yeast and bad bacteria release, and you are literally living in

35


a toxic dump of rotting food. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of

taking a full-spectrum enzyme supplement to ease the toxic load on the body.

As we reach the age of 35, our natural enzyme and hydrochloric acid

production starts to decrease, slowly leading us down the road to poor digestion

and eventually to a compromised immune system. Unless you are eating 80% of

your diet as raw food, which contains its own enzymes for breakdown, you need

to supplement your body with extra enzymes. Most older people also need a

supplement that contains Betaine HCL, which helps the body produce the

hydrochloric acid (HCL) that is essential for the breakdown of proteins and

calcium.

One of the biggest misconceptions in the medical community is that acid

indigestion is caused by the body making too much HCL in the stomach. Almost

always, and we mean Almost Always, it is a lack of HCL being produced that leads

to undigested foods fermenting and causing carbonic acid that bubbles up into

the esophagus, causing a burning sensation. Taking antacids actually makes the

situation worse and continues the cycle of poor digestion, discomfort and

imbalance. And by the way, if you think you are getting your calcium from Tums

or a calcium carbonate supplement, you have been deceived. Calcium requires

36


an acidic environment for the body to break it down and utilize it. Calcium

carbonate is alkaline, which not only reduces the acid environment in the

stomach but is also the worst form of calcium for the body to absorb.

Enzymes taken with meals are extremely important to assist in the proper

breakdown of food. As we age, our natural ability to make enzymes slows down,

resulting in digestive discomfort: pain, bloating and gas. Serious enzyme and

stomach acid deficiency can lead to chronic indigestion, GERD, hiatal hernias and

esophageal cancer. Broad-spectrum enzyme supplements are vital to proper

digestion of a variety of foods.

Proactazyme Plus is a complete enzyme supplement designed for vegetarians

or those who do not eat a lot of meat. This supplement contains only plant

source enzymes to help break down sugars, vegetable fibers, long-chain starches

and proteins. It supplies amylase, glucoamylase, lipase, cellulase, invertase, malt

diastase, alpha galactosidase, peptidase and a blend of protease to digest

proteins.

Food Enzymes is a product designed to supply a full range of enzymes along

with Betaine HCL for those who are not producing enough stomach acid for

proper digestion. It contains bromelain, lipase, alpha-amylase, pancreatin, papain

37


and pepsin. This product is a favorite for people suffering from acid indigestion

who are not vegetarians.

Protease Plus provides enzymes that break down proteins into smaller

proteins and amino acids. Taken between meals, protease helps digest the toxins

and food particles that have leaked out of the intestines into the bloodstream.

This formula supports the immune system by cleaning up those particles that

cause inflammation and free-radical damage.

Balance Your pH

So what does pH have to do with it? The pH scale is a measure of how acidic

or alkaline a solution is. A pH of 7.0 is considered neutral, neither acid nor

alkaline. Anything less than 7.0 is acidic. Anything over 7.0 is alkaline. Our bodies

run their best within a slightly alkaline pH. The blood actually requires a very

small range of pH and cannot fluctuate too much before the body goes into crisis

and we die. This causes the body to do whatever it has to do to keep the proper

pH of the blood steady, including robbing mineral stores from organs and bones

to alkalize an acidic pH. Many vital bodily functions, including digestion, enzyme

activity and hormone balance, are dependent upon the body to maintain

38


optimum pH. If the body is balanced, saliva will be anywhere between a pH of

6.5 and 6.8; urine will fluctuate between 6.0 and 7.0. If you fall out of this pH

test range, you are at risk for hormone imbalance, heart disease, weight gain,

bladder and kidney issues, immune deficiency, brittle bones, arthritis, low energy,

liver distress, impaired digestion and elimination and YES – CANDIDA/YEAST

OVERGROWTH. These organisms love an acidic environment and contribute to

their own proliferation by leaving more acid wastes behind as they die.

The untold truth is that most of us are way too Acidic. This is due to our SAD

(Standard American Diet), which consists of masses of acid-forming foods,

including all meat, most grains, some fruits and pretty much all fast foods and

packaged foods. Maintaining a perfect pH is almost impossible given our current

lifestyle. Dehydration, stress, chemicals and lack of exercise or too much exercise

contribute to over acidity in the body. We find ourselves in a chronic loop of

stress, over acidity, immune dysfunction and Candida/Yeast overgrowth.

So how do you balance your pH? Diet can make or break you. Ideally, you

should be eating 80% alkaline foods such as vegetables, leafy greens, almonds,

pumpkin, sesame and poppy seeds, goat whey and most fruits except for

cranberries, guava, plums, pomegranates and tomatoes. Only about 20 percent

39


of our diet should be acid forming foods: meats, grains and dairy. If that sounds

too difficult, you can buy an alkaline water ionizer and drink several glasses a day

of alkaline water to help balance your pH. After 3 months of using this water, we

have seen blood sugar levels decrease, aches and pains ease and sugar cravings

go away. We are about 70% water, so the quality of water you put into your body

is extremely important. Most water is on the acidic side, which doesn’t help us

balance our pH. Alkaline water is purified and full of minerals which also help to

buffer over-acidity. Investing in a good Alkaline water system will do more for

your overall health than struggling to balance pH with diet alone. The important

point here is to do whatever it takes to get your pH balanced. Purchase a roll of

pH tape at your local health food store and take your urine pH every morning as

soon as you get out of bed, before you drink anything or take any medication.

Watch and see if it moves into the ideal range of 6.5 – 7.0. If dietary changes

don’t do it, get an alkaline water system. Another thing you might try is to

eliminate completely all wheat and dairy for a couple of weeks. Many people are

so sensitive to these foods that they cause an imbalance in pH that cannot be fully

addressed unless the food is completely eliminated.

Detoxify

We live in a modern society today that has come to be filled with a heavy load

of toxins. We find these toxins in our food, our water, in the air we breathe and

also in our personal care products, etc. Normal, healthy individuals need to

cleanse twice a year just to keep up with the increased exposure to these

chemicals and poisons. It is good to do a colon cleanse along with some herbs

that support the detoxification of the liver, kidney and lymphatic system.

When it comes to Candida/Yeast issues, you may have to do a heavy metal

cleanse. This could be adding a product called Heavy Metal Detox which was

formulated with cilantro, sodium alginate, N-acetyl -cysteine, kelp and alpha lipoic

acid to your daily regime for 30 days or more. Oral chelation products will also

help to pull out a variety of heavy metals, as well as plaque from the arteries. The

advantage of doing oral chelation is that it really helps increase circulation. Many

people with heart disease choose this type of cleanse, but be prepared, because

this type of program can be 4 – 6 months long. Mega-Chel is an excellent oral

chelation product.

Checking for parasites will also be important when trying to balance Candida.

Knocking down the parasite population right away can ensure quicker results with

41


the Candida diet and protocol. In general, it is good to first do a colon cleanse to

clear out material from the colon that might be feeding parasites and then do the

Candida Cleanse along with parasite herbs. Parasite herbs can also take 30 – 90

days to make an impact on the population. This is because of the life cycle of the

organisms. Most herbs are effective against the adults, not the eggs which are

protected by a hard coating. Eggs can lie dormant for months or years just

waiting for the right environment to hatch out. The best way to check for

parasites is to visit a practitioner who can test you for parasites. If you test for

parasites, you most likely have an infection. Having an IonCleanse® foot bath

done can also help determine whether heavy metals, Candida/Yeast or parasites

are present. Note: You still may have a parasite problem even if you don’t see

any in the water (it is rare to see them, but possible). There will be more

information on the IonCleanse® coming up.

Stop Feeding the Candida/Yeast (Diet)

Honestly, you cannot affect the Candida/Yeast population until you stop

feeding them. They love sugar and refined carbohydrates, so these must be

avoided in all their forms. Diet is your main weapon against Candida, but also the

42


most frustrating, as you will have to give up a number of foods. Carbohydrates,

even complex ones, eventually break down to glucose (sugar) in the digestive

tract, and sugar feeds Candida. There are, however, lots of wonderful whole foods

that can keep you healthy and satisfied. We’ve provided a list of those whole

foods, as well as foods to avoid on your journey back to health. See the chapter

on ” Is Food Your Friend or Your Enemy?”

5. Don’t Invite Them Back (Your Belief System)

Our Beliefs Affect Our Health

The power of your mind and your belief system have everything to do with

the condition, the speed and the way that you heal. There is an emotional

component to every illness. Our thoughts, beliefs and emotions create our

physical health. Emotions that aren’t dealt with or, in other words, “stuffed”

down deep have a vibration that affects every one of our cells. That emotion will

then deter the cell from carrying out its various functions, which then leads to

imbalance in the body.

43


Stress is a contributing factor in Candida/Yeast overgrowth, and therefore it

is imperative to address what is causing the stress. Emotions such as feeling

stressed, anxiety or anger are nothing but our perception of any situation. Really

take that in and think about that, because we have the choice to look at things

differently. You can choose to stop, take a deep breath and determine exactly

what the truth is and how you want to respond. Choosing to calm yourself, to

ground yourself by sending your energy down into the earth, and to connect with

your heart by getting out of your head raises your vibration so that things begin to

look clearer and more manageable. It is all up to us as to how we want to look at

things.

Our beliefs or expectations are very powerful. And they can work either

way , they can improve our health or impair it. If you expect that you are going to

remain well, you increase the likelihood of this. If you expect that you are going

to become ill, you increase the likelihood of attaining this result. (Incidentally,

research over the last 20 years has proven in some detail the electrical and

chemical manner in which our thinking affects our bodies)

* Our Belief System is one of the major factors that can get us through situations

or can cause our life to crumble around us! We do believe that there is a lot of

44


innate goodness and balancing our minds do subconsciously to get us through

hard times. The other portion of this is how we "program" ourselves to deal with

any given situation.

* Our self-confidence and self-love are often the keys to opening and

strengthening this portion of our thoughts, which in turn emanates from us!

* Energy follows thought. Program thought to be positive and your energy will

reflect it!

* Really appreciating what we DO have as opposed to what we would like to

have sometimes makes a significant difference. This is always an important

element in healing that is often neglected.

The ability to balance your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual self is up to

you. Here are some suggestions:

Deep breathing and good posture assist oxygenation of the body, which inhibits Candida.

Positive emotions and attitudes reduce stress and promote healthy digestion.

It's about lifestyle change: proper nutrition, plenty of rest, staying hydrated with plenty of water and a good mind set!

45


Meditation and prayer calm your mind chatter and stimulate the relaxation response that allows you to connect to your true self.

Affirmations help to change the negative self-talk to a positive so that the vibration changes and you now are in a place where you repel negativity. (See suggested affirmations for Candida below)

It’s important to be aware of the underlying subconscious beliefs that you may be

holding in your energy field. Many times we believe we don’t feel a certain way

or don’t have a certain belief, but we actually do. One of the best ways to clear or

shift these underlying limiting beliefs is with a modality called ThetaHealing™.

What is ThetaHealing™ and how it Works

Our thoughts (both conscious and unconscious) create our lives.

ThetaHealing™ can help you make profound changes in your life by releasing

negative thought habits entrenched deep inside. Core beliefs that are hidden in

the subconscious shape our physical, mental and emotional reality without our

permission. These beliefs can add positive energy to our lives or they can present

roadblocks to our health and happiness. Theta can quickly and accurately

pinpoint your roadblocks and lift them—allowing you to move easily and

confidently toward your goals.

46


Bypassing mental and emotional gatekeepers, ThetaHealing™ addresses

the subconscious directly and simply. After discussing the issues you wish to

focus on, you and Deb identify the entrenched beliefs that are interfering with

your life without your permission. Deb then enters a Theta state, connects to

Creator of All That Is and facilitates the healing process by pulling incorrect beliefs

and replacing them with healthy ones and observing the change being made.

You can experience immediate release of long-held tensions and fears and feel

that inner space refilled with a calm security. ThetaHealing™ can complement

and even speed other therapeutic efforts by focusing on the underlying core

issues that profoundly affect all aspects of our physical, mental, spiritual and

emotional well-being. ThetaHealing™ empowers you to create whatever change

you desire in body, mind, heart and soul.

ThetaHealing ™ can be done in person or by phone while you relax in the comfort

of your own home. Exciting news: because you have purchased this e-book and

have taken the next step toward better health, Deb is offering you a free session.

All you have to do is call Deb within 30 days of purchasing this e-book to schedule

your FREE 30-minute ThetaHealing™ session!

IS FOOD YOUR FRIEND OR YOUR ENEMY?

Food Basics

In general, a low-carbohydrate diet is preferred when clearing up

Candida/Yeast. Different people, however, have different sensitivities. Every

person is unique, as many of our clients can handle wheat despite a

Candida/Yeast problem. You and your body are your best guide as to which foods

to avoid. If you experience gas, bloating, fatigue, headache or other symptoms

from a specific food, avoid that food until you have gotten rid of the

Candida/Yeast overgrowth and your body is back in balance. At rock bottom,

however, all sugars MUST be avoided. Let’s start with the foods that you need to

avoid.

Foods to Avoid:

Sweeteners

Read labels carefully for any words that end in “ose”

Dextrose

Sucrose

Glucose

Maltose

48


Lactose

Fructose

Artificial Sweeteners

Barley Malt

Brown Sugar

Corn Syrup

Granulated & Powdered Sugar

Date Sugar

Honey

Maple Syrup

Mannitol

Molasses

Sorbitol

Turbinado Sugar

Evaporated Cane Juice

Concentrated Fruit Juices

Stevia, Erythritol and Xylitol are excellent sugar substitutes. Stevia

comes from a plant that is known as the “Sweet Herb” and is on average

100% sweeter than sugar. A little goes a long way. Both Erythritol and

Xylitol have the added benefit of being antifungal and inhibit yeast

overgrowth. These natural sweeteners also have been proven to prevent

tooth decay in children and adults, as they help to prevent bacteria from

adhering to teeth. Erythritol and Xylitol are heat-stable for cooking and can

be used 1- to-1 in a recipe that calls for regular sugar.

49


*It’s very important to start with small amounts of Xylitol as it can cause some loose stools due to its antifungal properties.

Fruit

Fruit is high in natural sugars and should be avoided for at least the first 2

to 3 weeks and even longer if possible. And then it’s best to choose low-

sugar fruits.

*Low-Sugar Fruits

Strawberries

Blueberries

Raspberries

Blackberries

Pears

Granny Smith Apples

*These should be eaten in small amounts.

QUICK TIP: Read the label of every food product you buy to be sure there is no added sugar (a near impossible task these days!).

Focus On What You Can Eat

Due to the dietary restrictions, you may be wondering at times,

"What the heck am I supposed to eat?!" There are many delicious foods that you

can eat that will not contribute to Candida/Yeast overgrowth. Get in the habit of

choosing whole foods. Imagine the types of foods that your grandparents ate

when they grew up. Back then, they didn’t have Twinkies , potato chips and

processed food in a box. People ate simple recipes such as stews and soups made

with fresh vegetables and meat, both delicious and satisfying. Assuming you have

no allergic reactions, you can enjoy all of the following:

differently in our bodies. The glycemic index, or GI, describes this difference by ranking carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose levels. Choosing low GI carbs - the ones that produce only small fluctuations in our blood glucose and insulin levels - is the secret to long-term health reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes and is the key to sustainable weight loss.1

1 Glycemic Index http://www.glycemicindex.com

As your symptoms disappear, you can cautiously add back the forbidden

foods, one at a time and slowly. Do not eat any refined sugars for at least 6

months after your recovery. Having Candida/Yeast overgrowth once

predisposes one to getting it again, so be very careful after you are well.

Indulging in too many foods too quickly can cause a relapse.

Recipes

Lunch

Veggie Omelette

(2 servings)

2 large eggs - beaten 2 tsp. olive oil 1 large onion 1 large green pepper 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes 1 15-ounce jar diced jalapeno peppers

(optional) salsa and/or hot sauce to taste (optional) sea salt and pepper to taste

Finely chop the onion and green pepper, and dump it into a large sealable bowl along with the tomato and optional jalapenos. Store in the fridge when done. You can use it in other recipes, like tacos. Pre-heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. It's hot enough when a drop of water dances on the surface. Meanwhile, sauté two tablespoons of the vegetable mixture in the olive oil until the onion clarifies; set aside. Spray the skillet with cooking oil spray and then pour the beaten egg into the skillet, covering the entire cooking surface. Add salt & pepper. Allow to set. While the egg sets, place the veggie mixture on top. When the egg has set, the

64


edges will curl up a bit. This will allow you to slip you spatula underneath without tearing the omelette. Fold one side over the veggies, then the other. Allow to sit in the pan for a few more seconds to allow the veggies to become heated through. Serve. Cover with salsa/ and or hot sauce if desired. Other veggies to try with this recipe: broccoli, red pepper, fresh tomato, asparagus, avocado, spinach or any other veggie you like!

Quinoa Vegetable Pilaf 2 Tbsp. onions, finely chopped 2 Tbsp. carrots, chopped ½ tsp. extra virgin olive oil ½ cup quinoa, rinsed 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth 1/8 tsp. pepper 1/3 cup fresh broccoli, chopped In a small saucepan, sauté onion and carrot in oil until tender. Add quinoa; stir to coat. Stir in broth and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, adding the broccoli during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Add cooked chicken or turkey to make a heartier meal. Lentil Soup

2 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium onion, chopped

QUICK TIP: Quinoa is a gluten-free grain is easy to digest and contains all nine essential amino acids – these are amino acids that we humans can’t make from other nutrients, and must get from our diet. Quinoa has a slightly nutty flavor and is a good source of iron, magnesium, copper and phosphorous. Enjoy Quinoa for its many health benefits.

65


2 large carrots, sliced or diced 2 stalks celery, diced 1 1/2 cups red and/or green lentils, rinsed well 2 quarts water pinch thyme or any seasoning you like 1 bay leaf sea salt to taste

Combine first 6 ingredients and bring to boil (red lentils should be added 25 minutes later as they need a shorter time to cook). Add seasonings. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered 45 minutes to 1 hour, until lentils are soft. Remove bay leaf before serving. Puree half in the blender if you prefer a creamy soup. - Serves 4

Wraps 2 cups flour (amaranth, buckwheat or quinoa ½ cup cooked, well mashed sweet potato ½ tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. sea salt 2 Tbsp. organic oil of choice (extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, sesame oil etc.) Water Mix together the dry ingredients, then combine with the oil and sweet potato (should form rough ‘breadcrumbs’ as when making pastry). Add water a little at a time until the ingredients form dough that is soft but not sticky. Make into balls and roll out into circles as thin as you can without breaking them, this will depend on the flour, warmth and humidity. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook gently on each side until golden. Fill with natural deli turkey, guacamole, tomatoes and lettuce or any combination of foods you like and can eat. Have fun and experiment!

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

So, here we are. It is time to put it all together in some sort of logical, step-by-

step process. The recommendations that follow have been put together to

address the majority of people that are trying to get control of Candida/Yeast

overgrowth and have not been successful in the past. This program also works for

73


those of you who have never attempted cleansing before. (It pays to do it right

the first time). That being said, everyone is a perfectly unique individual and has

individual needs. If you find that you are not responding well to a particular herb

or formula, discontinue using it and try a different one in the same category. If

you have questions or are not feeling comfortable with the program for any

reason, please contact me, (Deb Kitt, CNHP) at [email protected] or at 303-

678-5444. We can set up an appointment and discover together your individual

needs.

Here are the major points to “Conquer Candida/Yeast for Good “. Follow the

Candida/Yeast Protocol for 3 to 6 months. Get an IonCleanse® foot bath once a

month or at least a couple of times to check for the appearance of Yeast and do

your spit tests. Follow the Candida/Yeast diet for the whole time. The first 2 to 4

weeks follow the restricted portion of the diet and slowly add one food back at a

time with at least 3 days in between new foods. Listen to your body and observe

how you feel; then determine if you have sensitivities to the food. If you feel

bad, tired, bloated, etc., eliminate this food and try something else. Keep a

positive attitude and find some joy and excitement in the discovery of new foods

and recipes. We have provided a “Crib Sheet” on some brand names of foods you

may not be familiar with. Most can be found at your local health food store or on

mailto:[email protected]

74


the Internet. Next, go over the “Belief Check List”. Do some inner searching

about how you view life and react to certain situations. Practice forgiveness and

self love. Take time to connect to Source Energy (God, Higher Self, etc.) and

listen. The answers will come. Make choices that are good for YOU. Learn to say

“NO” and believe that you are not responsible for others’ actions. You are only

responsible for YOUR actions: the food choices you make, the way you feel about

yourself, etc. If you need help with this, contact me for a ThetaHealing™ session

or seek some professional counseling.

Are you ready? Here we go!

Candida/Yeast Protocol

The Candida/Yeast Protocol is what I call getting out “The Big Guns”. This

program has helped many a person laden with yeast due to heavy antibiotic use,

digestive upset and poor diet. It is a comprehensive program of antifungal herbs,

natural antibiotics, probiotics, fiber and dietary recommendations.

75


Step 1

Check for Candida/Yeast. Take the spit test and answer the questionnaire. In

addition, you may want to do an IonCleanse® foot bath and see if Candida (white

cheesy particles) forms on the top of the water in the first 15 minutes of the

treatment. You can also have a Natural Health Practitioner muscle test you for

Candida. (I can do this remotely if you contact me for a phone consultation -Deb

Kitt, 303-678-5444). The IonCleanse® foot bath is nice because at the end of the

Candida/Yeast cleanse you will to see how much different your water looks.

Ideally, there will be no white particles showing up on top of the water.

Step 2

If you want to get Candida under control do the following……

1. Take 1 box of Candida Clear over 2 week period.

2. Take 2 oz. of Silver Shield on day 1 and 2. Take 1 oz. of Silver Shield on

days 3,4,5,6. (2 bottles)

76


3. Take Probiotic Eleven - 1 with each meal and 1 at bedtime or (4 at bed

time).

4. Add Everybody’s Fiber to absorb toxins. Follow recommended dosage.

5. Follow the restricted Candida Diet

6. Drink plenty of pure water (64oz or more) and get plenty of rest (6 – 8 hrs.)

7. At the end of the cleanse, start taking Candida Homeopathic

Step 3

1. Take spit test again. If spit is clear, go to Step 4.

2. If Candida is still present, take Homeopathic Candida for one week. (In

addition you can do an IonCleanse® foot bath to see if a lot of heavy

metals form in the water and how much Candida shows up.)

3. Repeat Candida Protocol (Step 2).

4. Add Heavy Metal Detox if there was lots of heavy metals in your foot bath

water.

77


Note: Some individuals may be so overgrown with Candida they may have to

do the 2 week protocol 2 or 3 times. Rest 1 week between each 2-week program

and take Homeopathic Candida.

Step 4

This is the most important step to prevent reinfection and heal the gut. You

can do this protocol for 3 to 6 months, rotating supplements in each

category and adding in an enzyme to take with your meals. So, you would

continue on with one antifungal herbal formula, one formula to repair the

gut, a type of fiber, a probiotic and an enzyme. For example:

Antifungal: Caprylic Acid Combination Month 1

Yeast Fungal Detox Month 2

Pau D’ Arco Month 3

Gut Repair: Uña de Gato* Month 1

Kudzu St. John’s Wort Month 2

Intestinal Soothe and Build Month 3

Fiber: Everybody’s Fiber Month 1

78


LoClo Month 2

Nature’s Three Month 3

Probiotic: Probiotic Eleven Month 1

Bifidophilus Flora Force Month 2

Acidophilus Month 3

**Enzyme: Food Enzymes for most people

Proactazyme Plus for vegetarians

*Uña de Gato is not for suitable if you have an autoimmune disorder.

**You can rotate these two types of enzyme supplements to see which one

works best for you.

A Note about Cleansing and Pregnancy

In general, it is never a good idea to cleanse the body while pregnant or breast

feeding. Many toxins are stirred up in this process that could be harmful to the

baby. This protocol for the Candida/Yeast cleanse is not recommended for

pregnant and nursing mothers. If your symptoms are extremely uncomfortable or

difficult, you may go on the Candida/Yeast diet and use Silver Shield (natural

antibiotic) short term and one cup of Pau D’ Arco tea every day.

81


If you are trying to get pregnant and can’t,

Candida/Yeast overgrowth could be the problem. It is

wise to do at least a month or two of the Candida/Yeast

cleansing protocol while avoiding getting pregnant. Then you may discontinue

the herbs, remain on the enzymes, fiber and Candida/Yeast diet and resume

trying again This system of cleansing first and then trying to have a baby has

worked for many couples who were having fertility problems. (Candida/Yeast

overgrowth throws the entire body out of balance, including the reproductive

system). The advantage to clearing up this overgrowth first is that the mother will

not pass it on to the baby. Babies who experience thrush, diaper rash and colic

often suffer from an infection passed on by the mother. Make sure you have a

healthy baby by taking time to cleanse before planning to get pregnant. As a side

note, if you think your baby has Candida/Yeast, add some probiotics to his/her

formula or bottled breast milk. This will rebalance the microflora in the gut,

often easing colic and clearing up thrush.

82


Children’s Protocol Adjustments

Many children suffer from Candida/Yeast overgrowth. Typical symptoms can

be allergies, colic, hyperactivity, frequent infections, diaper rash, eczema and

thrush. Herbs are safe for children, but the dosages must be adjusted. Most

herbal and supplement recommendations are based on an average adult

weighing around 150 lbs. (give or take). Dosages should be adjusted for the age

and weight of the child. For example, if you have a school-aged child who weighs

around 75 lbs., then the dosage would be cut in half. If you have a toddler who

weighs around 35 lbs., then the dosage would be one-quarter of the adult dosage.

For children who cannot swallow capsules, there are products in chewable and

liquid form. Pau D’ Arco liquid or tea is both appropriate and quite effective.

Nature’s Sunshine Products has a very nice line of children’s chewables, including

Sunshine Heroes Probiotic Power, Whole Foods Papayazyme (enzyme

supplement) and Whole Foods Antioxidant (immune booster). These products

can be found at my NSP store at www.mynsp.com/debkitt. Remember that the

Candida/Yeast diet must be followed along with the supplements. You may find

that a Candida/Yeast cleanse will help your child focus better, become less cranky

83


and aggressive and just become much happier in general. The transformations

can be amazing.

Candida/Yeast Diet Crib Sheet

Create your meals with these three basics: Veggie, Protein and Healthy Fat. (If

you tolerate whole grains, these can be added within your Veggie portion).

The Majority of your plate should be Organic Vegetables (65%). The next largest

portion should be Organic /Natural Meat or Vegetable Protein (30%) and finally

add some Healthy Fats (5%)
