how candida gets its food??

If candida lives in the large intestine then how does it get the sugar to grow? Is the sugar in the stool? I would think that all sugar consumed would be taken into the blood and used for energy or stored in the liver hence leaving none in the stool. If the candida is fed by sugar in the blood then i think that would mean that carbohydrates of any kind whether it be from a lollie or whole grain bread would feed candida. Read more...

What is ringworm?

Ringworm is NOT caused by a worm, but is a fungal infection of the skin (tinea). The fungus settles in one spot on the skin, and after the infection starts, a red dot may be seen but is often missed because it is quite small. This dot slowly enlarges as the fungus spreads away from its central base. After a few days, the centre of the red patch becomes pale again and similar to normal skin, because the infection is no longer active at this point. Meanwhile the infection continues to spread and forms an Read more...

candida tomato??

Q : Is it ok to eat tomato when fighting candida?? Also what part of the digestive system is it most likely to live??

When candida eats it produces alcohol....but when it is dying does it produce alcohol then also??

Thanks

Many candida diets do allow for tomatoes to be eaten. Keep in mind, however, that tomato paste can be somewhat sweet and that ketchup is sugar-laden. Candida typically begins in the lower portion of the digestive tract, the large intestine. It can grow up into the small intestine and further up the digestive tract if there is an overgrowth.

Diet, Exercise Better Than Vitamins in Promoting Health

Harvard men's health watch is telling everyone how dangerous vitamin supplements are. Unfortunately they are not kidding!

Please know that although we have our references to try to refute these statements, your patient's families will be hearing this stuff.

While it was once hoped that supplements of folic acid could help reduce colon cancer, new research has shown that taking more than the minimum daily requirement would be harmful. Simon says other studies underscore the downside to dietary supplements, which are unregulated in the United States. "The most striking example is beta carotene, which we used to be very hopeful about, but actually increases the risk of lung cancer in smokers. Vitamin E increases the risk of second head-neck cancers in people who have been successfully treated for a first malignancy."

The truth is that the folic acid most get in supplements is not the natural form that is called 5'MTHFR (Metafolin by Merck of Germany) and since it is over $12,000 a Kilogram it is not in most supplements. Read more...

Ready for Raw Foods?

Q: I've been considering a raw foods diet. Can you discuss the pros and cons? -- Meredith

A: The raw foods diet is exactly what it appears to be - a diet in which you eat only foods that can be consumed raw or after minimal heating. On the plus side is the fact that it provides plenty of fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts, all of which should be part of any healthy diet. You also get plenty of fiber and no processed food. And, because you don't eat animal foods - meat, fish, or poultry - you avoid the contaminants they may contain. Another advantage: there's little danger that you'll consume too much protein or fat or the wrong kind of fat.
However, I'm not a proponent of the raw foods diet. First of all, when you eat everything raw, you lose much of the best flavor, texture and appearance of food. More importantly, however, is the fact that many of the vitamins and minerals found in vegetables are less bioavailable when you eat these foods raw than when they're cooked. For example, you can get lycopene, the carotenoid pigment that protects against prostate cancer, only from cooked tomatoes, not from raw ones. The carotenoids in carrots are more bioavailable from cooked carrots than they are from raw ones. Read more...
