Four Steps to Correct Yeast Overgrowth

1. Decrease the amount of yeast in the body by using antifungal preparations
2. Stop feeding the existing yeast by limiting the foods and drugs that cause the yeast to multiply.
3. Rebuild the immune system through a nutritional supplementation program
4. Create a non – toxic environment in your home to decrease candida – related symptoms.

Yeast reduction – anti fungal preparations

The first step in resolving a yeast overgrowth in your body is to destroy the excessive yeast. There are several different products that have been used successfully to kill the yeast including:

Nystatin
A drug available by prescription only, that when taken orally coats the membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and kills the yeast with which it comes in contact with. Powdered nystatin is preferable to tablets because the pills don’t dissolve in time to coat the areas in the sinus, mouth throat, esophagus and stomach which also may be affected. However, the powder does need to remain refrigerated.

Caprylic Acid
Many physicians, especially naturopathic doctors use caprylic acid products as the main antifungal agent in a yeast control program. Caprylic acid is a long-chain fatty acid naturally occurring in coconut that is toxic to yeast. Most health food stores stock a variety of caprylic acid products

Homeopathic Remedies
There are a variety of homeopathic Candida remedies which kill yeast. Some are available directly from Homeopathic Physicians; others are available from health food stores

Garlic
Garlic, a medicinal herb, contains two potent antifungal agents – allin. A precursor to allicin and haeoni, the stronger of the two.  Most commercially available garlic tablets or capsules do not contain adequate quantities of the antifungal agents because they are destroyed by cooking or processing. However, this corporation does make a garlic tablet in which the antifungal agents are still potent. It works best if you take one or two tablets at the same time you use one of the other antifungal preparations.

Garlic as a medicinal herb has a remarkable history, withstanding the test of time. Reliably, Garlic is part of a valid heart health supplement program and benefits those who have immune function challenges.

Allergies indicate a reduced immunity

If you are at risk for heart disease, use antibiotics regulary, have diarrhea or flatulance, any bacterial, fungal, or viral infection, low immunity, arthristis, sore throat, toothache, asthma, allergies, pneumonia, cancer, meningitis, colds or flu, tuberculosis, fever blisters, athlete’s foot, common warts, genital herpes, sinus infections, whooping cough or high blood pressure then garlic may be useful for you!

Garlic, to eat may taste wonderful, but does not maintain allicin the valid medicinal compound once it’s been cooked or smashed.

Having garlic in pill form secures it’s medicinal validity especially when not produced with extreme temperatures and dried slowly.  Combining it with rosemary and spearmint assist with odor control.

Should you add a high quality Garlic supplement to your health building protocol you will notice these benefits:

Reduced risk of heart attack and stroke
lower serum cholesterol readings
lower tryglycerides
raised HDL, good cholesterol
increased blood fluidity
stops free radicals

Garlic is anti-inflammatory, bacterial, fungal and viral – sometimes referred to as a natural antibiotic

It kills parasites
protects the liver from toxins
protects against radiation
is used to treat excess perspiration
lower blood glucose in diabetics
is a blood cleanser, traps heavy metals
used in treatment for colic
increases while blood cell levels, even in AIDS patients

Chicken Curry Recipe Revised

Posted on by
Reply

Saute one large vidalia onion  - sliced in thin 1/2 moon slivers, one entire red pepper – long thin strips, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 jalapeno or other hot ( serrano is also good) in an extra virgin olive oil until tender.   This smells amazing as it’s simmering!! Add soup –  I use Pacific Roasted Red Pepper Tomato.  Amy’s has a nice canned version – use two.  ( another completely different version of  this is to use 2 T of tomato paste in 2 cups of half and half) Add one T of your favorite curry seasoning. 1/4 C lemon. Crushed White and Black Pepper. I never use salt. Add chicken. You can use boneless. Or you can use bone in w/ skin on. It depends on what you prefer.  If using with skin saute those in a seperate pan until brown first. Simmer all for a good hour.  Using the Pacific brand yields the most sauce.  I make this for 4, and often have sauce leftover to freeze. Great for a quick heat and serve meal later!!

Serve over brown rice. As a kid we always had fresh steamed green beans too.

Garlic, to eat may taste wonderful, but does not maintain Allicin, it’s medicinal value, once it’s been cooked or smashed.

In other words you can cook with it all you want. Yum, but if you cook it or smash it you need to take it in supplement form too.

Having Garlic in pill form secures it’s medicinal validity especially when the product isn’t produced at extreme temperatures, is dried very slowly, and combined with rosemary and spearmint for odor control.

Should you add a high quality Garlic supplement to your health building protocol you will notice these benefits:

Reduced risk of heart attack and stroke
lower serum cholesterol readings
lower tryglycerides
