Are you ready to fight for your right to divine health? From my experience and research, healing candida is not as simple as taking a few rounds of caprylic acid and probiotics. I think you must be willing to take a more aggressive approach.

Firstly, your goal should not just be to get rid of the candida, but to live in abundant and vibrant health. Why? Because it is your right! What is the point of healing your body of one ailment if you are leaving openings for new ones to form a few years from now? This means that, many of the tools that I use to strengthen and heal my body are not merely for the temporary relief of candida, but to keep myself healthy long term! I am not saying that this is easy because anything worth having is worth fighting for, but it will be worth it. Each tool will be given individual attention a bit later, but this is just a brief overview of what I have done and still do.

1. I changed my diet! We all know that the Standard American Diet is SAD. It is nutritionally deficient and is not fit for human consumption-PERIOD. I will not go into the specifics of the candida diet as it has come to be called because you can find it most everywhere. I will just say that, as a rule, I eliminated all white flour, processed sugar, and all fruits except lemons, grapefruits, berries, and green apples. I also only eat organics and this does include my meat consumption. IMPORTANTLY-I upped my water intake. Drinking half of my weight in ounces of water each day is one of the healthiest choices I have ever made!
2. I cleaned my colon! You know, our society does not like to talk poop, but it is about time that we talked poop! Are you pooping? What does your poop look like? I added in extra fiber, started doing my own enemas on a regular basis, and began receiving colonics to clean out my colon.
3. I repopulated the good guys. Many people spend so much time playing terminator that they forget to replenish their gut with good micro-flora.  If this is not done, the candida may go away for a while, but, with ho soldiers there to stand guard, they will be back soon!
4. I killed off the yeast. This is the part everyone loves to focus on. It is an important part, but there are several ways to do this: prescription anti-fungals, herbs, oxygen therapy, etc. Through lots of trial and error, what has worked best for me has been a combination of anti-fungal herbs with rectal ozone insulfations. I will go into more detail about this at a later date.
5. I Alkalinized! This is an often skipped step in healing from candida. Candida thrives in an acidic environment. In order to get rid of candida overgrowth for good, you must make the environment unfriendly for them long after the anti-fungals have stopped. Visit the www.askmoreless.com for great information on how to achieve this.
6. I took a whole food supplement! This is very crucial. Especially in the case of a candida infestation, there is a good chance you are not absorbing the nutrients from all of your foods. How is your body supposed to heal itself if it does not have the proper tools to work with? I do not been Centrum or something that you paid $9.95 for at Wal-Mart! I had to find something that could provide my body with vitamins that had come from whole foods, not from a lab.
7. I drank my veggies! I know this sounds disgusting to many of you, but one of the most refreshing things in the world is a cup of freshly juiced veggies! It allows your body to skip the process of digestion and go straight to absorbing all of the nutrients that it is thirsting for. I will post a few recipes to get you started. A quality electronic juicer is one of the best investments you could possibly make in your health! If you are not able to juice daily, a quality green drink such as Garden of Life's Perfect Food is a good supplement to juicing but not a permanent replacement.
8. I cleansed and flushed my liver and kidneys. When battling candida, the whole body gets in the fight. This means that detoxifying organs such as your kidneys, liver, and skin can sometimes be overly taxed. Taking liver cleansing herbs like milk thistle and dandelion root along with the occasional liver flush can help ease the toxic load. Nettle tea and an abundance of water are great assistance for the kidneys.
9. I detoxified my body. There are several ways to detoxify the body. There are herbal cleanses that you can buy, juice fasts, detox baths, and even things as simple as dry brushing your skin. These are things that should not all be done at once and work better at different stages in your healing process. Still, all of these have been instrumental in my ridding my body of the toxic burden that candida had placed on it.
10. I changed my mindset. I developed a healed and whole mindset and not a sick and feeble mindset. In essence, I had to renew my mind. This took meditating on several scriptures and creating affirmations that I read about my health and wholeness on a regular basis.

**If you choose to experiment with these or any other healing tools, I would recommend that you do this under the observation and direction of a trained alternative health professional. I have tried this on my own and with KNOWLEDGEABLE processional help. With professional help is much more effective in the long run.
