To all my Friends on CureZone:

Andreas Moritz is an intuitive healer and
spiritual mystic, whose forum here on CZ
was a must-read for many of us.

In his brilliant book, Timeless Secrets of
Health & Rejuvenation, Andreas devotes 3 pages
to Candida albicans. He discusses what's REALLY happening in the bodies of Candida sufferers, and how to heal that condition.

I thought it might be helpful to many of you,
if I distilled some of that information, and
passed it along to you. I will quote Andreas
often. If anything in this message resonates
with you, I strongly suggest that you buy
a copy of Timeless Secrets. It is FULL of
need-to-know information about a wide variety
of illnesses and degenerative conditions.
The book will pay back its cost a thousandfold
over the course of your lifetime.

Andreas begins by saying that,"A healthy intestinal tract is inhabited by over 400 different species of bacteria." About 70 percent of those bacteria are considered
beneficial or "good." The other 30 percent
are usually labeled "bad."

In a healthy person, it's the job of the good
bacteria, most of which are in the small intestine, to completely digest the
food which the stomach has partially-digested.

Each of us has about 22 feet of small intestine. It looks much like a folded-hose
that you buy at the hardware store. In a
healthy person, that "hose" is about the
same thickness or diameter as your big toe.

The inside of the intestine is lined with
trillions of zilli, tiny hair-like protuberances, which do the actual digestion,
and absorb nutrients into the blood stream.

So why do we have "bad" bacteria -- and why
is Candida albicans considered to be such a
villain?

Andreas calls that a popular misconception.
Candida is NOT the prime enemy of your body,
but "a natural and even necessary yeast
inhabitant of your gut."

It's the task of the "bad" bacteria to "decompose dead, potentially toxic tissue.
Candida ONLY proliferates when there is a need to help the body prevent a major toxicity crisis. Candida albicans is not out to harm the body."

So in a healthy body, the good bacteria do all the work. The so-called bad bacteria have
little or nothing to do. Think of them as
the riot police in a peaceful city. "Candida
is kept in check by the beneficial bacteria
in your intestinal tract.

However, two things can wake up the Candida
riot-police, and cause them to proliferate.
The first is if you take doctor-prescribed
Antibiotics for weeks or months, in an attempt
to heal an infection.

The fact that you have an infection, is a
wake-up call to the riot-police, Candida,
that they will be soon be needed to restore
peace and health to your body. The Antibiotics
will kill off most of the good bacteria. This
permits Candida production "to go into overdrive, and spread like mold through the
intestinal tract. This interferes with the
activity of enzymes that break down food,
resulting in poor digestion and bloating."

The second thing that wakes up the Candida,
is dead, antibiotic-laden food, known to many
of us as the SAD diet. Meat and dairy products
are loaded with Antibiotics . The average
quart of milk at your supermarket contains
as many as 100 different antibiotics. Beef
and chicken are awash in antibiotics -- which
are fed to the desperate animals in an attempt
to keep them alive in the horrific conditions
in which they're raised.

If you've been eating dead and processed food
for years or decades, chances are very good
that you're overweight. The diameter of
your small intestine is no longer 1 inch,
but may well be 5, 7, or even 10 inches.

Stop for a moment, and try to picture
the 22 feet of your small intestine, swollen
to the diameter of your fist. The villi-hairs,
which do the final digestion, have long since
been covered over with a toxic, smelly mix
of rubbery plaque. Only a tiny open passage
still exists in the middle of your intestine,
and very little real digestion is taking place. Additionally, the swollen, bloated
intestinal-hose, all 22 feet of it, is now
putting physical pressure on its neighbors.
In me, it may be my prostate gland. In you,
it may be your pancreas or uterus.

In this nightmare-scenario (a very common one
in America), your immune system calls on the
bad bacteria to begin working 24 hours a day.
Most of the good bacteria are dead, and now
it's time to turn loose the riot-police.

Please understand that the Candida are NOT
trying to hurt your body! They are trying to
save it, and heal the toxicity crisis that
called them to duty. Their special talent is
dissolving toxic tissue.

Unfortunately, many people's intestines are SO
full of toxic waste, that the Candida develop
tentacles that function as drills. They
drill through the rubbery plaque, lining the
walls of the intestine -- attempting to break
it up, so they can dissolve it. But in the
process, those candida tentacles often penetrate the walls of the intestine, itself.

This allows "toxins to enter other parts of the body, including the brain. This can cause
an entire range of physical and emotional
symptoms. They include sinusitis, ear infections, gastro-intestinal dysfunction, weight gain, water retention, hormonal imbalance, mental confusion, depression, insomnia, anxiety, chronic fatigue, vaginitis,
Increased PMS, urinary tract infections,
constipation, kidney problems, gallstones,
and food cravings, particularly for Sugar and
sweets."

So what do you do? Common sense tells you
to avoid all doctor-prescribed antibiotics,
unless it's literally a life-or-death situation. Common sense also tells you to
become a vegetarian, and say goodbye to all
the dead and processed foods, whose nasty
residue is lining your intestines.
In effect, you'll be starving the Candida
of the toxic material they were born to
dissolve; you'll be letting the riot-police
go back to their barracks for some much-needed rest.

But you also need to thoroughly cleanse your
intestinal tract; to shrink that 5 inch hose
back to its normal 1 inch diameter.

Andreas says that "If there are Gallstones in
the liver, re-infection is almost guaranteed."
So you need to perform some good cleanses on
your colon, liver, and kidneys, as well as do
some parasite cleanses. CureZone is a very
good place to learn about internal cleansing.

"Once their food source (toxic waste) is reduced, the yeast bacteria will soon begin to
withdraw to their original sites, and diminish." The riot is over, and the good guys
are back in charge.

Andreas recommends that you banish the following products from your eating-regimen:
sugar, yeast, or yeast-containing foods, such
as bread, cakes, biscuits, chocolate, tomato
ketchup, most fruit, except bananas, coffee,
tea, alcohol soft drinks, mushrooms, hard and
blue cheeses, fermented products such as
vinegar, cigarettes, and other stimulants.

Note Well: Andreas also suggests that women
go off the Pill and HRT, if applicable.

In time, you may be able to reintroduce some
of those foods to your diet. Once your intestinal tract is really clean, many doors
that are now closed to you, will open.

Thanks for reading this long message. I hope
some of it resonated with you. Good luck with
your healing quest to restore your Candida
to their formerly quiet life! I wll keep you
all in my prayers.

Blessings,

Owen
