One of the most sought after remedies over the past decade is how to get rid of candida, or more accurately, a candida overgrowth. 

Well, the first thing you have to ask yourself is why is excessive candida being released into my body, and what is it attempting to rectify? This question eludes most of us as we are more intent on “killing” the candida rather than understanding it’s nature and facilitating an action plan that allows the body to return to homeostasis without any excessive intervention on its part.

So if you have a candida overgrowth that you can’t seem to get rid of completely without staying on a highly restrictive diet forever, then that’s your clue that you are not fixing the underlying issue.

What could that underlying problem possibly be?

Typically, a candida overgrowth is a response to an overly acidic condition in the lower regions of the bowels, which is why you may see a protruding belly or rash in the groin area if you have it. This acidic condition could be caused by a number of different infections, most likely chemical with heavy metals at the top of the suspect list. To govern this acidic state, the body releases candida albicans, a naturally alkaline substance, to mute or mitigate the acidic condition.

But not only that, keep in mind that candida is also released to help with absorption of nutrients, which often is a problem beginning with the stomach and then extends throughout the entire intestinal tract as a result. So if you have a candida overgrowth, this is a major sign that nutrient absorption is a serious problem.

The fact that a candida overgrowth can get so obnoxious is a clear sign to you that an overly acidic condition is in effect in your lower gastrointestinal tract that is not being properly resolved through nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle. This is why you continue to get the bloated look, the itching, and general inflammatory response – you’re not doing enough of the right things to remove the major cause of the acidity, which in many cases, is heavy metals.

Now, some may think the answer to removing these metals is as simple as taking zeolite, diatomaceous earth, methylene blue, MMS, chlorine dioxide, or some other highly myopic and often dangerous solutions. This may help clear some of the issues, but ironically, it will often bring up other ones immediately due to the harshness each of those solutions can bring to the digestive tract. A more nurturing and less damaging approach would be using alkaline foods that are easily digested and highly negatively charged, as well as a holistic whole food supplement plan that binds to and removes these toxic insults. 

So, until that major chemical infection is removed properly, the candida infection will linger and plague you indefinitely. I would know…I dealt with a massive candida overgrowth and eventually removed it through a carefully planned nutritional and supplemental plan over a decade ago. None of the current popular diets will touch it, so beware of the choices that don’t cleanse the body, and worst, leave rotting food material in your colon that creates, you guessed it, more acidity and a more persistent candida overgrowth problem. This can lead to unfortunate events like colon and prostate cancer, so don’t treat it like its a minor issue, because it can blow up into a big one.
