Benefits of using grapefruit seed extract on Candida

Grapefruit seed extract is a natural antibiotic alike garlic and tea-tree oil. It can be used to combat candida, but as with any antibiotics it could also kill off some of the good bacteria. It is prudent to take probiotics or eat yoghurt during the time you are taking grapefruit seed extract for treatment of candida.

Directions:
To take grapefruit seed extract, follow the directions on the packaging. It is most powerful if it is taken 3 times a day. It can be taken after a meal if it's in capsule form. If taking the liquid, this needs to be diluted and it tastes bitter. Dilution could be achieved by mixing it with carrot juice, vegetable juice or even grapefruit juice.

Grapefruit seed extract can be applied to athlete's foot as a natural cure. For this, take 10 drops per 1/2 (half) ounce of water and apply with cotton wool.


Other Uses
I have a friend who uses it on his toothbrush each night to brush his teeth as it can help prevent periondotosis and caries.

It can help with allergies.

It has also been known to treat malaria and can be used as a nasal disinfectant.

Yogurt vs. Candida




Oh yes, something that candida doesn't like is yogurt or even yoghurt - depending where you live of course for the spelling. Yogurt is effective at creating more 'good bacteria' which could eventually outweigh the 'bad bacteria', but only in 'cultured' yogurt.

In the past, I have made my own, and then I know that it's fully of 'good stuff'. It's surprisingly easy to make.

How to make yogurt

One small pot of natural yogurt
1 pint of warm milk
A plastic sealable container

Add the yogurt to the warm milk and mix thoroughly. Cover the container and put it in a warm place. As I live in the tropics, I just leave mine in the kitchen on the side, but you could put it in the sun (if you live somewhere cooler) or you could put it in the airing cupboard or near a radiator.

The yogurt will multiply over the course of about 8-12 hours and you'll end up with fairly thick yogurt. I actually make mine with about 1.5 pints or more, and have quite a runny consistency. It tastes delicious with honey, which will not do your candida any harm whatsoever.

Yogurt is effective for oral thrush, yeast infections, and any candida related problems. Some ladies even put yogurt onto a tampon to clear their yeast infections, personally I have found that eating garlic is a lot more beneficial in times of need. Crush it and add it to water and drink. But it could be that you need a thorough cleanse of your body (if you are getting recurring yeast infections / thrush). For this I recommend candida info.

Cure Candida Albicans Naturally - the easy way

Candida albicans can be cured naturally. You just have to know how to do it.

There are some simple steps to take that will really make a difference... one of them is to drink filtered water. In tap or faucet water, there are many impurities that make a difference to our bodies. All of these impurities can cause an imbalance to our internal bacterias by themselves.

You can filter water in several ways.
1. You can purchase a filter that can be attached to your tap
2. you can decide to buy bottled water only (this could prove to be expensive)
3. you can purchase a water filter jug to filter the water for you.
4. you could catch natural spring water to drink (you would have to know where to go to get this, and it will only be available in some areas) - and even then you might want to filter it before drinking it

Any of these ways would provide you with filtered water. Drinking 6 glasses of this per day would go a long way to cure candida albicans naturally.

Cure Candida Fast - Do these now and it will improve your condition fast..


To cure candida fast, you will need to take action immediately. The condition is caused by several imbalances in the body, leading to the intestinal environment being too 'candida friendly'. There needs to be a balance so that there is good bacteria in healthy doses, the bad bacteria has taken over in the case of a candida overgrowth. This causes issues such as yeast infections, oral thrush, athletes foot and other fungal skin issues. Excema and asthma can also be related to this, as well as headaches, constipation and abdominal pain.


Candida has come about from the following causes
  • being run down in general

  • being stressed

  • not getting enough rest or sleep

  • not eating the right diet - which can include eating too much sugar, too much alcohol (in particular beer), too much bread and processed foods

  • caught from your partner

  • a low immune system


To tackle it head-on is the best course of action. Certain steps can be taken that will lower the amount of candida bacteria in your body immediately, but ideally it would be best to do a complete clean of your system. Read candida-yeast-diet.com for more information on a 5 step program to cure candida fast.

Easy steps to take now include:
  • crush a clove of garlic in water and drink

  • drink rosemary tea

  • stop eating sugar

  • eat fresh vegetables and fruits, uncooked when possible so that you all possible vitamins can be digested


If you can't wait that long, read cure candida fast for more information on how to cure candida fast.

Oral thrush cure - can it be cured naturally?


Oral thrush is an uncomfortable condition that is generally caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the body. This can be brought about by the wrong diet and by not getting enough rest. When the body is rundown, this is the type of minor illness that can occur.

Symptoms of oral thrush include:

  • a sore throat

  • a white coating on the tongue and throat that can be scraped off

  • bumps on the back of the tongue and on the throat

  • bad breath



What has caused the oral thrush?

Many times the thrush can be caused by taking antibiotics which will disturb the natural balance of the body. Other causes can be from not getting enough rest, being under stress or eating an unhealthy diet which would include a lot of processed foods.

Processed foods are not good for humans, we were built to live more as hunters/gatherers of healthy fruits and vegetables.


How can oral thrush be treated?

The best oral thrush cure is a natural cure. Antibiotics can not tell the difference between good bacteria and bad bacteria. It will kill all bacteria, so another imbalance of the body can be caused by taking antibiotics.

Short term relief can be gained by eating cultured yoghurt. This will introduce more of the healthy bacteria to your body, to rebalance the environment so that it less thrush 'friendly'. Drinking rosemary tea will also help your condition, as will crushing garlic and drinking it in water or a tea.

Ultimately it would be best to take several easy steps that will clear your body of an overload of yeast. For more information on this visit candida-yeast-diet.com.

Garlic & Candida & Welcome to my new blog


I had no idea how to cure candida naturally... then I discovered that it was possible. I now know what to do and I'm going to share that with you in this blog.

In this posting I want to share with you the benefits of garlic. Not only is it beneficial in curing candida, but it has many other uses which we will cover here.


I believe garlic to be essential in the quest to overcome yeast bacteria overgrowth. If you find it difficult to take or swallow it, due to it's strong taste.. it is possible to crush it and drink it in water or alternatively it is possible to purchase garlic pearl capsules. I believe that taking it raw and naturally is the preferred method.

As for any associated scent, I have not had any complaints from my boyfriend.. but the garlic pearl capsules sometimes pride themselves on being 'scent free'.

Back to the benefits... garlic is nature's own antibiotic. I don't think that some medical doctors (the least scrupulous ones anyway) like garlic as it's so powerful and effective that they miss out on their dollars when people catch onto how good it is. I cannot praise it highly enough. .

But anyway.. I feel like I'm waffling a bit. . let's get to the point:

If you feel a vaginal yeast infection starting off.. crush one or two garlic cloves, put into water and drink it down. I would generally take one and if the situation warrants it, take two and then another one later. This will really blast the candida albicans overgrowth and will put quite a halt to it's production.

Garlic also works well for BV, colds, flu and most probably cold sores (although, I don't get them so I haven't tried it). It keeps your immune system powered up. It should not be used as a substitute for eating a wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables though.

In learning how to cure candida naturally garlic is just one of the 'weapons' to use. In the next blog I will introduce you to the next secret weapon.

However, if you can't wait until then and need to learn more now - visit the same site that I learnt from, cure candida site to get the lowdown on what you need to do.

If you want to have more information on this topic, I wrote something on how to cure candida naturally on Squidoo too.

Hey, also I've got my first ezine article up online now how to cure candida naturally, give it a read.
