Disease In The House?

Can disease be lurking in your house, without your knowledge? Yes. It may be found as mold lurking most anywhere, from the bathroom to the basement, to the carpeting in your bedroom. Mold is another word for fungus.

Since household mold was addressed in a previous post, this posting is on your personal mold. Yes, you may be harboring mold in your body, and it's all too common; you may not even guess it is there. You know it's there is you have a health issue such as diabetes. And there are scores more health problems where mold, or at least, the milder form, candida, is at the root of the problem.

One of the best, and perhaps the easiest and non-invasive methods of addressing this issue is to start consuming herbs or teas, or therapeutic quality essential oils that are known to help the body better attack fungus issues. There are actually quite a few of these, and if you do have a fungal issue in the body(mold is termed as a fungal issue when it's inside the body, and generally as a mold issue when it's outside the body), it would be wise to consume teas or oils at least twice daily, or use the oils topically twice or more daily.

Using aromatherapy internally is not generally recommended if you have no idea what you are doing, since you may experience certain discomforts doing this, or, depending on what brand of oils you are using, they may be chemicals, which will do you potentially, much more harm than good.

Just a few of the common essential oils known to be anti-fungal include:

1. Oregano oil(this one is hot, better to use on the bottom of the feet rather than internally, unless you buy it is an enteric coated capsule)
2. Cinnamon Bark oil. The bark is different than the leaf, and the leaf is considerably less money. The bark is more potent on mold.
3. Clove oil. The first two oils listed are hotter than this one. You can take this one as a therapeutic quality internally, but when starting out, never take more than 3 drops of any of these, as the detox may cause you to feel very sick.
4. Geranium oil. This one has the added benefit of helping detox the liver.
5. Thyme oil. Not as hot as the first 3 oils, but slightly warm. A moderately potent anti-fungal.
6. Pine oil. This one is an all around first aid type oil, as well as being anti-fungal.
7. Frankincense oil. This one as a therapeutic oil is fairly expensive in comparison to the rest, just to let you know.
8. Lemongrass oil. This is a powerful anti-fungal and digestive aid. Getting this oil on your hands will stain you yellow for several hours.

There are more oils than these that are anti-fungal, but I'm attempting to keep this post shorter rather than longer.

Some herbs/foods that are anti-fungal include:
1. Licorice
2. Olive leaf
3. Pau d'Arco
4. Turmeric
5. Black Walnut Hulls
6. Chapparal
7. Garlic
8. Chamomile
9. Goldenrod

Yeast Infection Got You Down?

There are many ways to combat yeast in the body. None of which will be all that quick to get the results you need. As long as you persevere, you can do this. Herbs that can help include Pau d'Arco, Cinnamon, Oregano, Clove. Coconut oil is helpful as are several therapeutic quality essential oils, such as Hyssop, Tee Tree(Melaleuca Alternafolia), Cinnamon, Oregano, and Clove. This list is by no means complete.

Kefir is a great addition into the diet particularly when working to get rid of candida issues. Kefir is better than yogurt, although both will help.

Stress is another issue that makes getting rid of yeast that much more difficult. And, if you won't eat properly, getting rid of candida is nearly impossible. It may appear gone, but most likely is not. MacDonalds and Burger King do not classify as eating properly. Fresh organic produce is a great way to help get your digestive system in balance, especially when fermented foods are added.

Artificial Sweeteners

Many people, at least those who have some knowledge about health, try to learn a little and keep some of the known dangers out of their foods. Sadly though, the food companies are in this to make money; not to make people healthy. As a rule.

There are always exceptions, but all are still in this to make money. I have no problem with making a profit. Just don't do it at someone else's expense.

In a past blog I wrote that MSG, NutraSweet and other chemicals are generally hidden with other labeling on the package, such as the term "Natural Flavoring", "Parabens", "Phenylalanine", and more. Here is a good story on NutraSweet. Well worth reading.

Did you know?

Propylene Glycol, which is in a large amount of food and drug products, is a known carcinogen, and can kill in small doses? Yet...the FDA doesn't tell you. It is stated on the FDA website though.

The term "Derived From Natural Sources" actually means this is a chemical. ~ Journal of biochemical and biophysical methods ISSN 0165-022X

Corn Syrup is very harmful to your health. This is just one of thousands of articles written which show this. Splenda is equally as dangerous, if not more so. It is 75% chlorine. Chlorine KILLS. Please read this story, by Dr Janet Starr Hull

Using natural products such as Xylitol or Stevia as sweeteners is far better than using Corn Syrup, NutraSweet, MSG, or Sugar. Xylitol and Stevia will both help the body rather than hurt it. The others listed here will only hurt the body, and never help it. Sugar, as has been stated in the last couple of months by me, is the prime fuel for all cancers. Particularly, refined sugars.

You would have to learn to use Stevia. It is a very natural plant, but is extremely sweet. Meaning, if you use much more than necessary, your food won't taste all that good. It is, depending on refinement, up to 200 times sweeter than sugar.

Xylitol, like Stevia, is neither harmful to the health, nor do either cause candida overgrowth, which the other 5 listed ingredients will. Nor does either of those feed the harmful bacteria in the mouth.

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. – George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950, Irish Dramatist and Literary Critic

Beating Candida Yeast infections

We generally hear this from women; that they have a candida infection, and it just doesn't want to go away. However, women are not the only ones with this issue. Men get it also. In fact, if you acquire a disease, you are almost guaranteed to have this problem.

Candida is always in the body; that's a part of our biology. When we get out of balance, the candida thrives. So what causes the imbalance?

Imbalance is caused in very large part by refined sugars; by pharmaceutical drugs; by anything that goes into the body that competes too strongly with the beneficial bacteria, or overloads the system with toxins that kill the beneficial bacterias.

Sugar by the way, is the prime feeding source for cancer.

Things you can do to help alleviate a candida issue:

~Use the herb Pau d'Arco(kills candida)
~Use extra virgin Coconut Oil(the Caprylic acid found in Coconut is very helpful in killing candida), Coconut also aids weight loss. It is the best oil known for human consumption, and withstands high heat far better than any other.

~Black Walnut is very helpful in killing candida.

~Cinnamon kills candida.

~Oregano kills candida.

There are many other foods and herbs and related products which kill candida. Remember that no matter what methodology you use, it will take time. So go easy on yourself, and understand that what you are doing is not in vain. Just give it time to work for you.

Also you will want to get probiotics into your diet. This includes not only foods such as yogurt, but also kefir. Fermented foods help as well, such as horseradish, pickles, apple cider vinegar.
