Hello - I am not a doctor nor a scientist, but I am going to try and explain this as best I can. 70% of parasite infections are microscopic only 30% are of the visible variety (pinworms, tapeworms, flukes etc.) Candida is also a microscopic living organism that feeds off our bodies and from the food we eat and they will sap your magnesium too. A little bit of candida is fine BUT when they are allowed to overmultiply - well, that's when the probelms begin - yeat infections, jock itch, athlete's foot and other problems.
They do love sugar and sweets - it's what they live on - some other species of parasites love sugar too - hence uncontrollable hunger and weight gain in some parasite infected folks. While infected with candida it is important to take away their food source - mostly sugars and yeasts among other things - it is also important to stay away from antibiotics and certain chemicals that will kill the "good" bacteria that keep the candida in check. Antibiotics and certain chemicals (including the ones found in processed "junk" food) are how the candida gets out of control in the first place.
In my personal experience, you must KILL the candida - just get rid of it - then your body (when given the proper foods) will rebuild it to the correct levels and it will not get out of control again. Most topical products and such are treating the SYMPTOMS of candida when the CAUSE needs to be addressed. If candida infections were cured, how much money do you think would be lost by doctors, hospitals, drug companies and book writers? A lot. Yes a certain way of eating might slow them down, BUT it won't really get rid of them altogether. There's not really an anti-parasite diet per say, BUT if folks eat the following items between their bi-annual parasite cleanses - they will keep the parasites at bay - onions, garlic, sage, thyme, gigner, cloves and cinnamon. These won't kill them out, but they'll keep them down.
I have personally seen BAD SEVERE candida cleared up with a good parasite cleanse. Here are the 7 herbs that will kill candida: Black Walnut, Cloves, Thyme, Garlic, Fennel, Pau D' Arco and Barberry. The body will heal and restore itself if given a fighting chance.
Here is the in-depth info:
BLACK WALNUT– The dried and ground green hull of the Black Walnut contains tannin which is an organic iodine as well as juglandin, juglone and juglandic acids. It has been used for centuries to expel various types of worms including parasites that cause skin irritations – such as ringworm. It oxygenates the blood, which also helps to kill parasites. Black Walnut is very effective against tapeworms, pinworms, candida albicans (yeast infections) and malaria. It is also effective in reducing sugar levels, and helping the body rid itself of toxins.
CLOVES - Cloves contain eugenol, caryophyllene, and tannins which are powerful anti-microbial properties – these components are what actually travel in the bloodstream killing microscopic parasites and all parastitic larvae and eggs. Eugonal is the most powerful antimicrobal agents known. Eugonal kills all microscopic protoza. Cloves are tremendously effective in killing malaria, tuberculosis, cholera, scabies and other parasites, viruses, bacteria and fungi including candida Cloves also destroy pseudomonas aeruginosa, all species of shigella, staph and strep.
THYME – Thyme contains thymol, carvacrol and flavonoids which are effective in killing bacteria (such as fungal infections ie: yeast infections) and are especially effective in killing hookworms, roundworms, threadworms and skin parasites.Thyme also destroys Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus, Saprolegnia, and Zygorhynchus species. AND Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureas, Escherichia coli and other bacterial species. As an antibiotic, thymol is 25 times more effective than phenol, but much less toxic. Thyme is the primary ingrediant in LISTERINE MOUTHWASH because of it's germ killing power.
GARLIC - Garlic can slow and kill, more than sixty types of fungi and twenty types of bacteria, including some of the most potent viruses known to man. Garlic alone can help in controlling parasites. Garlic has a history of being able to kill parasites and control secondary fungal infections; detoxify and gently stimulate elimination; it also has antioxidant properties to protect against oxidation caused by parasites' toxins. Allicin and Ajoene, are the components in Garlic that kill parasites including the one-cell varaties as well as pinworms and hookworms. Garlic has antimicrobial activities (including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiprotozoal, and antiparasitic) that kills: B. subtilis, E. coli, P. mirabilis, Salmonella typhi, methicillin-resistant Staph aureus, Staph faecalis, salmonella enteritidis, and V. cholerae ,staphylococcus, Escherichia, Proteus, Salmonella, Providencia, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Hafnia, Aeromonas, Vibrio and Bacillus genera. Garlic is also very effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Garlic also kills Microsporum, Epidermophyton, Trichophyton, Rhodotorula, Torulopsis, Trichosporon, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Candida, including Candida albicans. Garlic also has antiamoebic and Antiprotozoan properties and is especially effective against Entamoeba histolytica and Paramecium caudatum.
FENNEL - This herb is known to be anti-parasitic. Fennel Seed is used to help remove and expel Parasites and their waste and from the body. Fennel also very effective against Candida Albicans.
PAU D' ARCO- Pau d’arco is used for Candida yeast infections (and other fungal infections) ,viral infections and parasitic infections. Also cystitis, prostatitis, ringworm, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Pau D’ Arco is one of the MOST POWERFUL ANTIOXDIENTS and immune system stimulates in the herbal kingdom.
BARBERRY – The ingredients of Barberry - berberine, columbamine, and oxyacanthine have antibacterial and anti-viral properties with some suggestion that berberine sulfate might be amebicidal and trypanocida. Research indicates that berberine is specifically effective against cholera, giardia, shigella, salmonella and E. coli The berberine, aids in the secretion of bile and is good for liver problems, that is also a mild laxative, and helps the digestive processes. Berberine also fights Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Salmonella, Shigella and Eschorichia Coli, cholera and chronic candidiasis (yeast). Berberine is highly bactericidal, amoeboidal and trypanocidal. Barberry is antihelicobacter, fungicidal and antiparasitic Barberry acts in the same way as chloramphenicol, a commonly prescribed antibiotic drug. Barberry helps to purify the respatory and digestive systems and also has a anti-parasitic effect
