Are you itching to hear more about Candida?
Microscopic fungi or yeast occur naturally in the body and are present on all surfaces of the human body – inside and out. One of the most well-known fungal growths in the body is systemic Candida albicans.
Under normal circumstances, this fungus lives in balance with the other healthy bacteria in the body and causes no harm. However, correct balance of Candida and other digestive flora is important in maintaining health in many different body systems, as well as certain moist parts of your body such as the vagina, groin, ears, under nails, in skin folds, teeth cavities, and in the digestive tract.
A balanced pH level is the key to maintaining balanced systemic Candida infections. The body has a healthy ph (alkaline or acidity level) of 6.4 if measuring urine or saliva. Maintaining pH balance within the normal range – neither too acidic, nor too alkaline – is important to support normal levels of fungi, such as yeast (Candida).
The natural ability to keep conditions stable also depends greatly on the immune system, which also helps to support normal pH and maintain acid balance in the body. A healthy diet is the best way to help the immune system keep a healthy balance.
The natural way
A healthy body, with a strong immune system, balanced pH and balanced levels of probiotics (and Candida) in the system will be protected from infection. There are many natural ways to support the immune system such as diet, adequate sleep, moderate exercise, and relaxation. pH and systemic Candida levels can also be kept at appropriate levels by avoiding excess grains, dairy, sugar, dietary yeast and most processed foods in the diet. Raw vegetables should also be included in a healthy eating plan.
However, today’s modern lifestyle is filled with fast food, pollution, and stress. Over time, these factors can sometimes affect the regulation mechanisms of the body, particularly the body’s natural ability to keep Candida levels in check. To help you, we offer a free download of our Candida diet with every purchase of Candidate.
Acidophilus is a probiotic culture that is present in most yoghurt (especially organic sugar free yoghurt). This probiotic culture contains plenty of good bacteria and can help to support the immune system and maintain normal levels of yeast in the system. Yoghurt can also be used as an effective vaginal douche to help support balance in the vagina. (Hilton E, Isenberg HD, Alperstein P, et al. “Ingestion of yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus as prophylaxis for candidal vaginitis”. Ann Intern Med 1992;116:353–7).
Keeping the immune system healthy will also go a long way to reducing the need for conventional oral antibiotics which have been shown to have an effect on the natural balance of Candida in the body.
Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support the immune system, healthy balance of pH and balanced probiotics and yeast levels in the body. In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom.

- Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) The freshly cut and partially dried leaves are used therapeutically and are the source of the essential oil. Clinical studies have supported the positive effects of lemon grass in maintaining systemic health and the promotion of healthy, balanced levels of bacteria in the body. (Ohno T, Kita M, Yamaoka Y, Imamura S, Yamamoto T, Mitsufuji S, Kodama T, Kashima K, Imanishi J. "Antimicrobial activity of essential oils against Helicobacter pylori." Third Department of Internal Medicine, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto, 602-8566, Japan. Helicobacter. 2003 Jun;8(3):207-15.)
- Pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) was used in ancient Greek, Roman, Arabic, and Indian cultures as a therapeutic herb to support healthy toxin elimination from the body and to routinely ‘flush out’ the system.
- Pau d'arco bark (Tabebuia impetiginosa) contains the active constituents Lapachol and Beta-lapachone, which are also known as naphthaquinones. This herb has been studied for its potential to support antioxidants and maintain healthy levels of bacteria in the body. (Park BS, Lee KG, Shibamoto T, Lee SE, Takeoka GR. "Antioxidant activity and characterization of volatile constituents of Taheebo (Tabebuia impetiginosa Martius ex DC)." Western Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Albany, California 94710, USA. J Agric Food Chem. 2003 Jan 1;51(1):295-300.) (Park BS, Kim JR, Lee SE, Kim KS, Takeoka GR, Ahn YJ, Kim JH. "Selective growth-inhibiting effects of compounds identified in Tabebuia impetiginosa inner bark on human intestinal bacteria." School of Agricultural Biotechnology, Seoul National University, San 56-1, Shillim-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul 151-742, Korea. J Agric Food Chem. 2005 Feb 23;53(4):1152-7.)
Note: Pau D'arco is not soluble in water and is best taken in tincture form where the active ingredients have been extracted medicinally in pharmaceutical ethanol. To prevent side effects, it is also important that the whole bark is used in the extraction process. This process has been followed at Native Remedies to bring you the strongest and most effective formula possible.

Proven Natural Candida Diet and Herbal Treatment for Candida, Candidiasis, and Chronic Yeast Infections.
What is the Candida Diet and how can it help me?
There are various versions of the Candida diet available, but all follow the same basic formula.
Native Remedies has made it easier for you by creating an easy to follow list of what you should and what you shouldn't eat to beat Candida.
Will the Candida Diet help me to lose weight?
The Candida Diet is not intended for weight loss, but is specifically designed to combat Candida, Candidiasis and yeast infections. However, if you are overweight, you will almost certainly lose weight if you follow the Candida Diet!
Overgrowth of Candida causes intense cravings for sugar and starch, which is why many people cannot follow a weight loss diet.
Controlling levels of Candida in your digestive tract will help you to stick to your weight loss plan, while eliminating sugar and refined carbohydrates will help you lose weight.
Some Important Points
When following the Candida diet, you must make sure that your blood sugar levels are kept at an acceptable level by eating a substantial breakfast, lunch and supper. If you find that your energy level is low or you are experiencing dizziness while on the diet, it is probably due to low blood sugar. If this happens, simply add a mid-morning and mid afternoon snack. Please remember to drink lots of water in order to assist the elimination of toxins from your body. After a few days of detoxing, some of your symptoms may become worse and you could also experience headaches. This is quite normal and part of the detoxification process. It will improve after a few days and you will begin to feel healthier than you have felt for years! The Candida diet should be followed for 4 weeks, followed by a maintenance program as outlined.
You may not use sugar in any form – this includes sucrose (cane sugar), gluscose and fructose (fruit sugar). Lactose (milk sugar) to be kept to a minimum.
