October 15, 2016Five Steps to Treating Candida Overgrowth, Naturally | Huffington Post
Mar 13, 2014 –
Most naturopaths will tell you that they spend a great deal of their time with patients treating yeast overgrowth, also called 
candidiasis, and the persistent physical and psychological symptoms that come along with it. I’m certainly no exception.
A day does not go by when I don’t have a handful of people coming in with one or more of the telltale signs. Candida albicans is a naturally occurring, and usually benign yeast, that grows in the gastrointestinal tract. When it over-proliferates in the body, though, the symptoms can be debilitating:
• Painful and persistent gas and bloating
• Recurrent yeast infections in women
• Constipation, or diarrhea
• Migraines
• Weight gain
• Depression and brain fog
• Skin issues like eczema and acne
• Food sensitivities
• Fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome
As I’ve written about before, the microbiome of the gut is a delicate garden and it is easily tipped into yeast overgrowth. There are several causes.
In my practice, the number one contributing factor is prolonged use of antibiotics. Others include: birth control, decreased digestive function, stress, and impaired immunity. In many of my patients, I see candidiasis leading to, or running tandem with, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and food sensitivities.
Holistic Treatment for Candida Infection – Mercola
Jun 10, 2008 – Yeast infections can be painful, even agonizing, but instant relief from a yeast infection is not currently possible. Candida albicans is a stubborn, hearty fungi that is difficult to remove. Most over-the-counter and prescription treatments take days.
However, there are options capable of delivering relief much more quickly. The best holistic treatment for a yeast infection, commonly known as the “12-hour yeast infection treatment,” has repeatedly proven the safest, quickest, and most effective treatment available.
Another popular holistic treatment for yeast infection is dietary modification, which can rid your body of a yeast infection in approximately two weeks. Strict dietary modification results in changes to your body that cause Candida albicans to die off. The 
lack of food, pH changes, and other factors are what ultimately destroy the yeast infection.
Many may not realize that chronic yeast infections were what actually stimulated my passion in natural medicine. I read Dr. William Crook’s book, The Yeast Connection, in the mid ’80s and eventually deployed some of his recommendations in my practice – with quite extraordinary results from some seriously diseased patients.
The results spoke for themselves so I set out on a 15-year journey of exploring natural healing strategies that has lead me to where I am today. Dr. Crook passed nearly six years ago but he was really one of my primary initial role models.
For anyone who is struggling with yeast problems, I highly recommend you review www.yeastconnection.com. It is based on Dr. Crook’s pioneering work, and the site is loaded with the latest insights on how Candida yeast causes problems in your body, and how to alleviate it.
He taught that an overgrowth of Candida albicans, a type of yeast, can cause a variety of chronic health problems in men and women, not the least of which are yeast infections.
Keep in mind, though, that not all yeast is bad. In fact, Candida albicansnormally exists on your skin, in your digestive tract and, for women, in your vagina. In your intestines, the good bacteria should, theoretically, keep the yeast and bad bacteria under control and in a healthy balance. This complex system is largely responsible for protecting your body from outside offenders.
However, many people’s gut bacteria — all 100 trillion strong — are not in the correct balance. Using antibiotics, taking birth control pills, and eating a lot of sugar and grains – all of these things disrupt the balance of bacteria in your gut, which allows Candida cells to rapidly develop, and overwhelm, the good bacteria.
