When I was in University in my 20s I already had marginal and growing candidiasis but I was unaware that I was suffering. Candidiasis is an overgrowth of a fungal like organism in the gut, candida albicans, which can then cause systemic or body-wide poisoning. That poisoning comes from inside your gut to your bloodstream. I was not aware that I was suffering at all! I was unaware that my sleep was not restorative. I woke up not feeling sufficiently rested, somewhat tired. I did not pay sufficient attention to my diet. I loved eating pizza and that was so easy, and I did not eat well at my residence.
Does Candida Overgrowth Come from Antibiotic Use?
Most people learn that candida overgrowth occurs because of previous use of antibiotics, imbalance of gut flora, or if you are a women, from use of birth control pills for several years, and hormone imbalance. For me Candida was a layer above heavy metal poisoning, dysfunctional relationships with family, over-using the energy in my body and not replenishing it, a poor diet, and lack of exercise! The more I strayed from home cooking the worse I got. Looking back, I believe if I had just eaten broccoli or cauliflower once or twice a week, I would probably have never become so fatigued! But of course, I would have eventually suffered from Candida anyway.
Using Heartburn (Acid-Reflux) Medications
The one thing that made my Candida much worse was getting on heart-burn medication. Heartburn or acid-reflux medications are some of the most prescribed, marketed, demanded, and over-used pharmaceuticals! Today, I’ve seen literally 3 commercials in 1 hour talking about attacking it (heartburn). One of those was especially cute involving some popular cartoon characters from the 70s. The message was eat things you have a hard time with, and then take the medications or tablets to self-treat any symptoms. The implication was the acid reducing drugs or tablets would work instantly. Heartburn or acid-reflux medications are particularly good at masking the physical difficulties, lack of a proper and balanced diet, lack of sufficient exercise, lack of good digestion, and any emotionally difficulties as well. Heartburn medications not only reduce the absorption of nutrients, but some even reduce one of the most important groups of liver enzymes, the cytochrome P450 enzyme.
An Emotionally Satisfying Life
When your life is not so emotionally satisfying you have a ticket to candida or some other disease. One of the reasons is because your digestion gets weakened and you do not absorb nutrients well. You can hurt your gut lining as well. When you are not in control of your emotions, have resentments, or bitterness, if you are lucky enough you can get some kind of mild illness or disease. Some people however, obtain a diagnosis of heart disease. I still clearly remember the day I was told that I should take the acid-reflux medication otherwise I would get an ulcer! How easy it was for the medical doctor to prescribe the medication and for me to start taking it! I wish I had been told to work on my diet, exercise, and get some balance in my life. I wish I had been asked about my emotional well being.
So I began the journey into medications from my 2nd year of university all the way through my Masters. I started out with Zantac, then Losec (Prilosec) prescribed by a gastroenterologist, then ended up on Pepsid for 4 years.
Taking those medications was an extremely valuable learning experience. At the end of my Masters I could not digest my meals so well. I had several zombie-like trips to the bathroom during the night. Candida overgrowth was awakening me. When I ate, food felt like a lead rock in my stomach, and I was desperate for help. I began to feel chronic fatigue. I describe chronic fatigue like I invisibly carrying 20 pound bags of sand each, tied to both my legs all the time. When I graduated, I was happy to move to the West Coast and seek Natural Healing.
It turned out that the use of the acid-reflux medications were just masking the real difficulty, Candida, and reduced the acid in my stomach causing Candida to wildly grow out of control! Not only that, but I was developing allergies to foods, and a leaky gut because of the candida overgrowth. The physical symptoms of candida can differ greatly from person to person. Some people even have skin conditions due to candida overgrowth. There are emotional symptoms as well.
One of my spiritual teachers is Dr. Wayne Dyer. I love his Power of Intention PBS special. In it he says, “Why do difficult things when you can do easy things?" That statement rings true for many things people do and don’t do in their lives. It’s very easy for people to take acid-reflux medications and not fix the underlying difficulties. You can apply this philosophy to everything in your life. With all the commercials you may have seen to persuade you to take medications designed to stop the burning and reduce the acid in your stomach, it’s very easy to stray away from Healing.
On the west coast, I eventually got off the acid-reflux medications, followed a Natural Healing program to begin healing my stomach, my liver, my gallbladder and my sleep difficulties. I was turning into an Expert on Healing Candida.
Eventually another Healer looked at the iris in my eyes and told me that I was also a Healer. Later, I also learned Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and figured out that over-thinking reduced my digestive abilities, and excessive fear can cause your kidneys to become weaker. Now I know that most people who have chronic candidiasis have difficulties with those powerful kidneys.
Chronic Candidiasis
The truth is for those who have chronic candidiasis especially for several years, it’s exceptionally difficult to Heal. The reasons are emotionally reactivity which depresses your immune system, subtle organ damage, reduced organ energy, underfunctioning adrenal and thyroid glands, an underfunctioning stomach, a poisoned immune system, allergies, food sensitivities, and underlying heavy metal poisoning.
Sensitivities to Mycotoxins in Foods
Sensitivities to mycotoxins, like those toxins given off by Candida and other fungi are also highly likely to be acquired. Those sensitivities can cause you to become sensitive to all kinds of foods containing those toxins. And there is no shortage of foods with mycotoxins. Your immune system can become quite stressed. Candidiasis also goes hand in hand with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Perhaps you are taking a medication for depression, mood swings, or anxiety when your real difficulty is candida overgrowth! Healing the real difficulty is necessary! The weakest link in your body is where the candida will usually manifest first.
After you have chronic candidiasis for some time, you can have an illness of congestion, immune imbalance, and immune weakness. Even auto-immune illness can be spurred from some candida overgrowth. The degree to which you have candida is directly related to the strength of your digestion, your kidneys, your liver, and your immune system, in short to your organ and gland strength.
Rebuilding to Heal Candida
Replenishing or rebuilding your organs and glands without paying any direct attention to detoxifying or cleansing candida is the best way to heal. Detoxification or cleansing occurs indirectly, slowly, using this rebuilding method. Of course dietary modifications are still necessary, but are usually only temporary. Some foods however will need to be avoided.
Vibrational Healing for Candida
Vibrational Healing or vibrational remedies are needed to heal candida. Flower essences which are vibrational remedies are necessary to clear negative emotional and mental patterns. There are also a class of powerful supplements I call vibrational remedies which can also target specific glands and organs of the body precisely and gradually heal in good time. Gentle detoxification of heavy metals can also be accomplished and is often necessary. I never recommend anyone who has chronic fatigue, candidiasis or fibromyalgia undergo dental amalgam removal unless your organs and glands are much stronger, and a lengthy program of heavy metal detoxification and rebuilding is accomplished. Amalgam removal can be very complex, and requires great, great caution.
Qi Gong Energizes your Organs
I am fortunate enough to have gained a great deal of expertise in Healing Candida. I have been practising Qi Gong (Chinese energy healing) for 7 years. I always love seeing the effect of it smoothing out my nails when I practise for even just one hour. The improved nails indicate I cultivated Qi into my body and my liver tissue has been energized. I gain energy for my kidneys as well.
How Long Does It Take To Heal Candida
There are many layers of Healing that can exist when Healing Candida. Some people have fibromyalgia, severe chronic fatigue, and environmental or chemical sensitivities along with Candida. The important thing to note is that Healing takes time, care, and great patience. Remember Healing is not the same as recovery, not the same as overcoming, not the same as treating, and definitely not the same as coping with candida. True Healing means there is not a single manifestation of the original disease and you are on a path as if the disease never manifested. This brings me to the point about being cautious about other vibrations or energies in your life. The energy of your home, the music you listen to, your own thoughts, the people in your life all can affect your healing.
Do Candida Cleanses Really Work?
Cleanses for candida are ubiquitous. There are some very powerful cleanses for Candida out there. If you have been constantly cleansing year after year, trying to get rid of the Candida in your gut, and heal your body, you are probably just reducing your organ energy and causing further deficiencies. Cleanses can cause further difficulty with your health. You may eventually manifest a Chinese diagnosis called yin deficiency or deficiency in general.
Candida and Heavy Metals
Candida in your gut binds to heavy metals. That means the candida yeast fungus grabs heavy metals, like mercury and holds onto them. I know what a herxheimer or die-off reaction feels like. When a candida sufferer has a significant reaction to eradicating candida, if their organ energy is low, especially the liver energy, the symptoms will be quite noticeable and maybe even severe. Cleansing during the months of December, January, February, and March are the worst.
Cleansing Reduces Organ Energy
For most people who are in this situation of candida overgrowth and increased symptoms in those winter months, the instinct is to do another cleanse. But cleansing often reduces your organ energy. Your liver will be complaining to you, you may get constipated; you may have mood swings, and become chemically sensitive. When die- off occurs because candida gets blown up, any bound heavy metals will get released. That release is very, very detrimental. What will eventually happen is your immune system will get suppressed. The right thing to do is to rebuild your organs and glands, and eat a high fibre diet, sugarless diet, and follow food combining. Avoid raw food intake.
Food Combining for Healing Candida
Healing Candida requires that strict food combining be followed. Food combining allows the stress to be taken off your digestion, and allows you to digest your foods faster. In turn the yeast in your gut do not get fed, and dry up. You can reduce the load on your liver, and months later you can have better skin just from food combining. In food combining two basic rules are do not eat fruit with a meal, or after a meal. Fruit should be eaten on its own, preferably 45 minutes before a meal. Grains and flesh proteins also do not mix. So potatoes and meat is out of the question. So are waffles with eggs, or toast and eggs.
Avoid getting worse with Candida
To avoid getting worse with candida avoid exposure to perfumes, colognes, harsh household cleaning chemicals, cigarette smoke, air fresheners, and other indoor air pollutants. Wash your clothes in unscented laundry detergent, avoid dry cleaning your clothes, sleep with fresh air in your rooms, and get daily exercise. Also avoid the preservatives in food, and eat cleanly.
Drink the Right Water
The water you drink must be spring water when you are Healing Candida. Long term use of spring water, preferably Artesian Spring water will ensure that your body receives the correct signals to heal. Even though you may not feel the adverse subtle energy effects of using tap water or filtered tap water, those vibrations are there and do effect your immune system profoundly.
Remember patience is required when healing candida. Long-term healing is the hallmark of healing candidiasis. A Program of Healing all causes of candida overgrowth that lasts a minimum of 9 months is the best option. Look forward to a good future when you can eat some sugar or some sweats, and your favourite jam and not have any difficulties!
