Cleansing and Candida

The first stage in any Candida diet is to cleanse your system. The idea is to clean out the debris from your intestine, flushing out some of the Candida yeast and exposing the rest so that other Candida treatments can kill it.

Cleansing is also one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. Regular cleansers report any or all of the following benefits:

More Energy, Improved Mood, Better Digestive System, Clearer Complexion, Better Circulation, Higher Libido, Weight Loss, Improved Concentration

Colonic Irrigation

If you can, start a colonic irrigation course as this is the one sure way to remove the toxins from your body. There is no better way to flush out your system.

If you'd prefer not to do the colonic irrigation, you can just make some dietary changes to achieve a similar effect. More on colon cleansing.

Colon Cleansing without Irrigation

Think about what you eat - fast food is overloaded with additives, beef has added growth hormone, even fish are full of the various chemicals that are pumped into the oceans. So the first stage in your cleanse is to cut out these unnecessary toxins. Eating fresh organically grown vegetables and fruits is a great start and will stop any more toxins from entering your system.

An excellent way to improve your cleanse is to combine it with a healthy juice fast. Always remember to drink lots of water too.

The second stage involves adding Psyllium to your diet. Add one or two tablespoons to a glass of water and take with your meal, once or twice daily. Psyllium is a natural fiber that helps the digestive system to work more quickly and effectively. All that old waste matter that is clogging your colon will be pushed right through.

What Causes the Toxic Build-up?

We put our colons under a great deal of stress with our modern lifestyle. Years of fast food, cigarettes, prescription drugs and alcohol keep the colon busy. Add Candida to that mixture, and you have a recipe for an unhealthy colon.

The colon is the waste pipe of the body. Once the nutrients are taken out and processed, the waste from your food intake is passed through the colon and expelled from your body.

What many people don't realize is that this fecal matter, including the Candida yeast, can get backed up and solidified in your colon. Without a regular cleansing program it can get trapped there for years or decades, slowly releasing toxins into your system.

The waste matter hardens, fixing itself to the wall of the colon. Sometimes an unhealthy colon will have attached to it up to 20 pounds of this matter that just won't go away! Ever wondered why you sometimes feel heavy and bloated?

This waste material can serve as a breeding ground for Candida, releasing toxins into your bloodstream. They can spread through your body, affecting every part of it. Hence the need to flush out your system with a good cleanse.
