Viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungus are natural within our internal environment. There are optimal levels that are required to function optimally. When there is an overgrowth of a virus, bacteria, parasite, or fungus, subtle issues begin. As modern Americans, we typically ignore subtle problems until severe symptoms arise.
We were created and designed to experience an epic life. We must be attuned to our physical environment and take care of an issue to prevent disease and restore health. Candida is a fungus that is responsible for yeast infections found in the mouth and genitalia. An overgrowth of Candida in the gut will first appear silent, but as the fungus begins to break down the gut lining, it spreads to the blood, skin, brain, and heart.
Causes of Candida Overgrowth:
- Standard American Diet, high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and alcohol is a fuel source for Candida.
- Broad-spectrum antibiotics
- Oral corticosteroids
- Cancer treatments
- Diabetes
- Suppressed immune system
Symptoms of Candida Overgrowth
- Chronic fatigue
- Moods disorders
- Recurring vaginal and urinary tract infections
- Oral thrush
- Sinus infections
- Intestinal distress
- Brain fog
- Skin and nail Infections
- Hormonal imbalance
- Dandruff
- Skin rashes and itchy skin
- Jock itch
Candida Treatment
Treating Candida is a process, and this process requires discipline. The first step is to starve Candida. This could take 6-8 months. To starve Candida, alcohol and sugar must be eliminated first; we must adhere to the Advanced Plan eating found in Align Your Health. The second step is to add the MaxLiving Advanced Gut Bundle. This bundle is formulated to help kill Candida and rebuild the gut lining.
Symptoms of Candida Die-off
- Impaired brain function
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Intestinal distress including bloating, gas, constipation, and nausea
- Sweating and fever
- Sinus infection
- Skin breakouts (not limited to face)
- Typical flu-like symptoms
These symptoms are aggravating, but it is a sign that you are conquering Candida. Push through, and these symptoms should be resolved in 7-10 days. Making sure that your nervous system is operating at 100% through the removal of subluxations is imperative to the process of killing candida. Consult with your doctor for any questions you may have about Candida. If you are unsure if you have Candida, testing can be ordered.
