Shopping for a yeast free diet

What is Candida?

Candida is a controversial term because most of the medical professionals deny its existence making it very difficult to get a medical diagnosis of Candida. But many of Western Medical Doctors/ Naturopaths are beginning to recognize it. So, if you feel this can be a part of your case history, find a doctor who best represents your needs.

Candida is the popular term for Candidiasis (yeast overgrowth) - a condition first identified by American physicians in the 1970s. Moderate amounts of Candida (and other yeast) live in every one of us without causing any harm, but when given free rein to grow (when intestinal bacteria is killed by antibiotics, drugs, NSAID’s, alcohol and other items listed below) it leaves an opportunity for invaders to recolonize the intestines. Once Candida mutates, it begins to break down the intestinal lining and eventually breaks through the intestinal wall. Once through the intestinal wall it now moves through the bloodstream and anywhere blood travels (organs, tissues, joints, bones etc.)

Contributory factors to Candida over Growth:
 use of the contraceptive pill or HRT
· use of natural progesterone cream
· use of other steroids (hydrocortisone, prednisolone etc.)
· use of immune-suppressive drugs
· repeated use of broad-spectrum antibiotics e.g. for acne
· dental mercury amalgam poisoning
· other heavy metal poisoning e.g. lead, cadmium
· chemical poisoning from the home, garden, workplace etc.
· hormonal changes e.g. puberty, pregnancy, menopause and Stress

 1. FatBurner - helps you eat less sugar and contains chromium, cinnamon, green tea Many people with Type I and Type II diabetes are deficient in chromium. In cases of low levels of chromium, supplementing with extra chromium could make a difference in balancing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon: This spice is a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-microbial agent. In laboratory tests, growth of yeasts that were resistant to the commonly used anti-fungal medication fluconazole was often stopped by cinnamon extracts.

 2. Octocleanse is an herbal yeast and parasite detox. It contains natural herbs including some that help with yeast: Pau D' Arco, garlic, and grapefruit combat yeast while the other ingredients in this formula get to work on viruses, parasites and bacteria. Caprylic acid kills yeast in one phase of it's growth,  Other ingredients and their actions include:

OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT— Exhibits a myriad of medicinal uses used for centuries. The leaves have shown to have significant anti-microbial action, and are an effective agent against resistant strains of fungi which includes (yeast, Candida, viruses and bacteria).
 PAU D’ARCO— Has shown to successfully treat fungal conditions such as athletic foot, and yeast infections such as Candida. It has a mild laxative effect that makes it useful for chronic constipation. It has also shown promise in patients with arthritis, peptic ulcers, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. GRAPEFRUIT WHOLE POWDER— Is primary used as a treatment for vaginal yeast infections caused by Candida and the intestinal condition known as Candida Overgrowth Syndrome. It is also used to kill strep, staph, salmonella, e-coli, influenza, parasites, herpes, fungi and travelers diarrhea. HYSSOP (WILD OREGANO)— The leaves, dried herb and volatile oil are used medicinally. A test tube study demonstrated that oil of oregano inhibited the growth of Candida Albicans effectively.

 3. Dr. Comeaux's COQ10 with Omega 3 Dietary Supplement, 60 softgels Consuming fish oil capsules can also contribute to the detoxification process because they contain natural triglyceride lipids that facilitate expelling of toxins with the bowel movement. CoQ10 may help with energy while you are giving up sugar.

 Books to refer to for recipes:

The HCG diet cookbook- in the book I wrote, all recipes will be allowed
The Paleo Diet- no processed sugar is allowed, so all recipes allowed
The Atkins Diet
The Makers diet
The Daniel Diet 
The Mediterranean Diet
Candida Diet Cookbook

The Blood Type Diet by Dr Peter D‘Adamo is outlined is his book Eat Right For Your Type. I feel it can be of supreme guidance in selecting foods that harmonize with you and avoiding foods that potentially have a deleterious effect on your blood and hence, immune system. Make sure you only choose foods that are compatible with the yeast free diet.

Natural Supplements for post Myocardial Infarction treatment

Myocardial infarction is a technical term used to describe an irreversible injury to heart muscle.

In an acute myocardial infarction, the flow of blood from a blood vessel in the heart is blocked, whereby the cardiac muscle receives insufficient oxygen and heart tissue dies. In many cases, the supply of blood in the deadened portion of the heart can be restored via the so-called balloon technique. But after a myocardial infarct, the heart suffers permanent damage, primarily to the left ventricle.

Myocardial Infarction cause
The most common cause of acute myocardial infarction is narrowing of the epicardial blood vessels due to atheromatous plaques, otherwise known as hardening of the arteries. Plaque rupture with subsequent exposure of the basement membrane in the lining of the blood vessel results in platelet aggregation, blood clot formation, fibrin accumulation, hemorrhage into the plaque, and varying degrees of vasospasm. This can result in partial or complete blockage of the vessel and subsequent myocardial ischemia, which means lack of oxygen resulting in muscle tissue damage. Total occlusion of the vessel for more than 4-6 hours results in irreversible myocardial necrosis, but reperfusion within this period can salvage the myocardium (heart muscle) and reduce morbidity and mortality.

Myocardial Infarction risk factors
Six primary risk factors have been identified with the development of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. These include hyperlipidemia (high blood cholesterol and triglycerides), diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, male gender, and family history of atherosclerotic arterial disease. The presence of any risk factor is associated with doubling the relative risk of developing atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Stress and lack of exercise are additional factors.

There is no proof yet that taking supplements reduces the risk of myocardial infarction, but in my opinion, ongoing studies will likely eventually show that certain supplements, when used properly, can reduce the risk for myocardial infarction.

Of course, a patient with heart disease would already be on a number of medications, so I am writing this blog to give some ideas to one of my patients, without increasing her pill count.

Fish oil, rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and derived from oily fish such as tuna, salmon and mackerel -- is already recommended by the American Heart Assn. to help prevent cardiovascular disease. It has been shown to reduce blood triglyceride levels and slightly lower blood pressure, lowering the risk for heart attacks and strokes.

Coenzyme Q10
Heart Attacks: In a small trial of patients with recent myocardial infarction, Coenzyme Q10--used in addition to aspirin and cholesterol-lowering drugs--decreased the likelihood of further cardiac events for at least one year after the heart attack. The dosage of CoQ10 used in the study was 60 mg twice daily.















Vitamin D
Low levels of 25(OH)D are associated with higher risk of myocardial infarction in a graded man- ner, even after controlling for factors known to be asso- ciated with coronary artery disease.

Consider tea:

Black Tea and Green tea have superb antioxidant properties. Drinking 10 to 20 cups a day can provide protection against heart disease and many other illnesses.

Hawthorn berries regulate, heal, repair and soothe the heart.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 tsp. of hawthorn blossoms, steep for five to ten minutes, strain and take 2-3 cups daily for a month.
Or, take 10 drops extract in liquid twice daily, or take 1 tsp. of tincture three times daily.

Ginkgo biloba increases the blood supply to the brain, prevents accumulation of blood platelets and controls angina.
Take 20 drops of tincture three times daily. Take two 40 mg capsules of 24% standardized extract.
Note: If you take prescription blood-thinning medication, consult your health care provider before using ginkgo.













Ginger has a tonic effect on the heart, lowers cholesterol and inhibits blood platelet collection.
Make a fresh ginger infusion using 2 slices of fresh root per cup of water.
Take 2 cups daily.

Try eating pomegranates and goji berries
The results of one study demonstrates, that daily consumption of pomegranate juice for 3 months may decrease myocardial ischemia and improve myocardial perfusion
















Food allergies triggering myocardial infarction are rare, but ruling out common food allergies and/or avoiding foods that may trigger, can be helpful. I use Quest and Alcat in my Allergy evaluations and perform IgE and IgG testing.

Colon Cleansing on the HCG diet

Some believe it is important to undergo a colon cleanse regiment before starting the HCG Protocol because there are toxins and other environmental contaminates, hormones, and other impurities in our food supply and diet that didn’t exist, and therefore were not a factor, when Dr. Simeons was administering the HCG Diet to his patients decades ago.

Because of the restricted diet it is common to have a BM only once every two to three days. If you stop loosing weight AND don't have a BM every three days, it's probably time to get the bowels moving again.

What is colon cleansing and how does colon cleansing help us to lose weight?
Colon cleansing is a simple solution to many health problems while also providing numerous benefits. For dieters, the most desirable of these benefits includes the significant weight loss that results after even one colon cleansing treatment. In fact, it is not uncommon for colon cleansing to flush ten to thirty pounds of matter, resulting in instant weight reduction. Not only does this result in a healthier colon, but rapid weight loss and a healthier, detoxed system.

Ailments treated by colon cleansing include:
* constipation
* fatigue and insomnia
* parasite infection
* excess weight
* bad breath
* irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
* a protruding belly
* frequent colds
* hemorrhoids
* yeast infections
A frequent bowel problem for most people, and particularly dieters, includes constipation. Most often, constipation is attributed to a low fiber diet and lack of sufficient water, which cause fecal matter to become compressed and condensed. Not only is this uncomfortable, but it results in slower weight loss or even a complete stall simply because the system is "backed up" rather than continuously moving forward.

Over time, a constipated system results in the slow release of toxic wastes, causing strain on the intestinal system- most often signs of this include hemorrhoids, varicose veins, hernia and similar problems. In fact, the longer the waste is permitted to stay in the body, the more the proteins become rancid and the carbohydrates ferment. This ultimately manifests in physical ailment and disease and has been attributed to everything from obesity to cancer.

With even one bowel movement per day, there is still a minimum of three meals worth of waste matter in your system at all times, and a constipated body can hold several days, months or even years of fecal matter. Furthermore, your system can become toxic from the poisonous gases that are caused by foods you don't tolerate. This is known as "self polluting" in which the poisonous gases can enter your bloodstream and irritate your joints and organs. When your body is in this state, it cannot efficiently operate, let alone lose weight and become healthy.

Most often, people rely on bran and raw vegetables to stay regular. However, these are so rich in fibrous bulk they cannot get through the small spaces remaining for passage of waste in a constipated colon. Instead the waste matter backs up, begins to ferment, and contribute further to poor digestive health.

For those that want lose weight, maintain a healthy body and balance between body spirit and mind, colon cleansing is a must try. Not only does colon cleansing result in instant weight loss, provide fast relief from numerous ailments, and act as a preventative agent for health issues, but for those seeking to lose weight and maintain optimum health and mentality will find colon cleansing to be an essential addition to their efforts in healthy living.

It is not recommended to start more than 1 colon cleanse at the same time. They can be done in sequence, but not simultaneously. Please check with your practitioner before starting any cleansing program, especially if you are on prescription medications.

These specific cleanses and supplements are designed to work specifically with the HCG protocol to improve your results.

Herbal Yeast and Parasite Detoxification

Octocleanse is an advanced multi- dimensional formula containing herbal and nutritional components. There can be over 100 different types of parasites worms living in human bodies. Some are microscopic in size while others can be seen quite easily. These common organisms can be found everywhere in our environment, in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, or in the food we eat. It has been estimated that 85% of the North American adult population has at least one form of parasite. And some of those parasites can make you sick. The benefits of cleansing the body of parasites and worms include purifying of the tissues, healed organs and glands (where parasites and worms dwell); improved and enhanced peristalsis (bowel movements); more energy, weight release (loss/reduction); improved skin condition, improvement in body odor; better absorption of nutrients (which parasites and worms rob the body of), and an overall sense of cleanliness and purity. Those seeking treatment for a specific disease should consult a qualified integrative physician prior to using our products if possible.

Candidiasis has become very prevalent in modern society, it has been reported that 80 million Americans suffer from yeast-related problems due to the overuse of antibiotics, poor diet, mercury amalgam fillings, and toxins from our food and the environment. During a candida cleanse a Candida diet plays a big part in the control of candida. The western diet that consists of a high level of sugar and yeast, feeds the candida and encourages it’s growth, in doing this the candida seeks more food and drains the body of glucose. This creates a craving for more sweet food which generally most people satisfy this craving and in doing so further feeds the candida, the candida flourishes and penetrates deeper into the intestinal wall producing more toxins and creating a path for toxins and undigested food particles to pass through to the bloodstream while also draining the body again of glucose and the vicious cycle continues.

Good bacteria play a large part in keeping the digestive system functioning properly and keeping candida from overgrowing. Antibiotics and toxins from our environment kill off the good bacteria. A normal detox program the does not consider a candida diet will not get this condition under control thereby not achieving a total and lasting detox.

Candida unchecked will just fuel the toxic cycle again.

A properly planed complete detox program should include a proven process that will get candida under control to help achieve a total detox.

The following is a very effective way to treat candida:

1. Following an anti candida diet, which is designed to starve the candida.
2. Probiotics
3. A quality all natural herbal remedy that assists in the killing off the candida.

Octocleanse is a natural dietary supplement that promotes internal cleansing, a strong immune system and healthy intestinal flora. Octocleanse can be a powerful ally in your overall cleansing and detoxification goals. Includes herbs traditionally used for support such as grapefruit seed extract and black walnut.

Douching vs nourishing aromatherapy pellets

The word "douche" means to wash or soak in French. Douching is washing or cleaning out the vagina (birth canal) with water or other mixtures of fluids. Most douches are prepackaged mixes of water and vinegar. You can buy these products at drug and grocery stores. The mixtures usually come in a bottle and can be squirted into the vagina through a tube or nozzle.

Women douche because they mistakenly believe it gives many benefits. Women who douche say they do it to:

Clean the vagina
Rinse away blood after monthly periods
Get rid of odor
Avoid sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Prevent pregnancy


Douching is common among women in the United States. It’s estimated that 20 to 40 percent of American women 15 to 44 years old douche regularly. About half of these women douche each week. Higher rates of douching are seen in teens, African-American women, and Hispanic women.

Most doctors and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommend that women don’t douche. Douching can change the delicate balance of vaginal flora (organisms that live in the vagina) and acidity in a healthy vagina. One way to look at it is in a healthy vagina there are both good and bad bacteria. The balance of the good and bad bacteria help maintain an acidic environment. Any changes can cause an over growth of bad bacteria which can lead to a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. Plus, if you have a vaginal infection, douching can push the bacteria causing the infection up into the uterus, fallopian tubes, and pelvic cavity.

According to womenshealth.gov, research shows that women who douche regularly have more health problems than women who don’t. Doctors are still unsure whether douching causes these problems. Douching may simply be more common in groups of women who tend to have these issues. Health problems linked to douching include:

Vaginal irritation
Bacterial vaginosis (BV)
STIs
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Some STIs, BV, and PID can all lead to serious problems during pregnancy. These include infection in the baby, problems with labor, and early delivery.


Due to the fact that women like to douche to feel fresh and clean, but frequently go to the doctor because this process does not always work, I developed a vaginal insert using essential aromatherapy oils. These are made with coconut which moisturizes the vagina and essential oils to enhance the ability of the vagina to withstand infections. The aromatherapy inserts contain lactobacillus, so if you are eating yogurt to help rid your body of yeast infections, you have another way to apply it also.

Most women suffer from minor vaginal infections at some time in their life.
Symptoms can include chronic vaginal discharge, which may have an unpleasant odor, itch, or painful intercourse. Yeast, bacterial vaginosis, and HPV can be there together or separately. Bladder infections can occur…with bacteria that may be found in the vagina. These are often treated with antibiotics, leading to further disturbances in the vaginal flora. This causes dryness, discomfort, and odor.

Using nutraceuticals (natural food, herbal or chemical products) can relieve these symptoms allowing you to be more comfortable and productive.

A factor leading to growth of unfriendly organisms is douching with feminine hygiene products. These products can change both the both the acid-base balance (pH) of the vagina as well as remove the protective mucus in the vagina. Both factors can lead to greater irritation and promote the growth of bacteria and yeast. I recommend that women not douche at all.

Many women treat themselves for yeast infections with over the counter antifungal agents when they assume that they have an infection (frequently they don't even have yeast, but are irritated by another organism). This treatment may alter the content of the normal vaginal flora by destroying lactobacillus, the predominant normal vaginal bacteria.

Sexibalm is naturally soothing, prepared with a base derived from coconut and palm oils.  Coconut contains capric/caprylic acid and lauric acid both of which have antiviral, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties.


I created the balm to address many of these complaints as I realize that for many people, it is frustrating to just do nothing and wait.

It is one product that addresses many issues:

Sexual health- coconut oil is a good lubricant
Bacterial Vaginosis- lavender oil is a good deodorizer
HPV support- tea tree, green tea, help manage bacteria and viruses
Yeast infection- tea tree and coconut have antifungal activity
E. coli or (Group Beta Strep) GBS in the vagina– can enter urethra & cause UTI’s.
Vaginal dryness-coconut oil lubrication aid and promotes good skin hydration
Vaginal Health- lactobacillus is found in a healthy vagina
Vaginal deodorizer- pleasant smelling, made with natural ingredients
Vaginal rash and Skin rash- take advantage of the anti-bacterial and anti-fungal power of coconut oil, which treats skin irritations. Just place on affected skin because sometimes the irritation on the outside is as bothersome as the inside. If you suffer from frequent boils, use this regularly on the skin to battle bacteria. If you get boils under your armpits, or in the pubic area, use there also.



I can recommend a few other things to do for vaginal discomforts:

1. You SHOULD starve yeast from their food source -which is sugar and simple carbs - and I mean ALL of it. I also suggest limiting the following: alcohol, vinegar (which is in everything), caffeine, all yeasted products, and all fungus products (mushrooms). Eat high protein, healthy fat, nuts and seeds and tons of veggies. Keep your carb servings focused on complex carbs (brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, etc.).

2- Use herbs to kill off the yeast- there are many great remedies out there, contact you local herbalist, or try my Octocleanse Herbal Parasite and Yeast Detox, which contains pau d' arco, grapefruit extract and garlic.

3- Replace your damaged flora with healthy probiotics. The function of probiotics is to perform the work that your normal gut is supposed to do while your normal flora is working on re-colonizing. Vitagreen has lactobacillus

4- Stabilize your pH, abnormal organisms thrive on an abnormal pH.  Vitagreen contains wheat grass and alkalinizing green vegetables like spinach and kale to keep your pH on track.


Sexibalm is designed for the purpose of relieving vaginal pruritis (inflammatory conditions), and reducing the recurrence of vaginal infections.

Sexibalm is my own special proprietary blend. I use a coconut oil base, which is impregnated with tea tree and lavender oil.

It slowly melts at body temperature when inserted into the vagina. It is well absorbed, decreasing leakage. Keep refrigerated until use.


If you think your husband is re-infecting you,  apply Sexibalm directly to his genitals. Rinsing after 20 minutes is optional.

For female use, for best results apply at night when supine, so it goes toward your cervix and not your underwear. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
To be used by females 13 or older. Use nightly for 3-14 days for acute infections. For chronic or chronic recurring infections, use nightly for 2-4 weeks.

Prevention: Use daily, at bedtime, during menses, for four consecutive months. Use with panty liner.

For anal irritation, this product may be used rectally. Non-laxative.
