Candida

Candida (Albicans) is one of the many different types of yeasts. Yeast cells are able to grow on the surface of all living things and occur virtually everywhere. The fact is, we breathe, eat, and drink them daily. Because they are part of our daily lives, we all have yeast growing in our skin, other body surfaces, and in our intestines. Normally our body's defense systems keep the total number of yeast cells under control and so, candida colonies in our intestinal tract are nothing to worry about. However, poor nutrition or a sluggish or impaired immune system weakens the body's ability to fight off yeast. Stress and environmental pollutants can also grow rapidly and candida may result.

Since candida and other yeasts are all around us, we can never totally get rid of them, but we can bring them back under control. To achieve the greatest degree of success, an effective balance of increasing friendly bacteria, nutritional support, and dietary changes are necessary. The M'lis DETOXIFICATION and nutritional program will help provide this balance, while teaching you how to keep yeast under control for good.

Program Highlights

  • Body cleansing to eliminate accumulated toxins and wastes, restore the peristaltic action of the colon, and strengthen vital organs
  • A yeast-free diet that will reduce the candida to a non-threatening level. Though every person has yeast in their bodies, natural defense systems generally keep the cells under control. However, poor nutrition or a sluggish or impaired immune system weakens the body’s ability to fight off yeast. W hen this happens, yeast colonies grow rapidly and candida may result. Candida grows and lives on what you eat, and it is absolutely critical to eliminate this food source and strengthen the immune system to rid the body of this debilitating condition
  • Nutritional supplementation to ensure immune system strength and healthy body function. M’lis formulations that are specific to this program are a multivitamin / multimineral, essential fatty acids, and a friendly bacteria formulation to restrict the growth of yeast and infection, while assisting in digestion.

Candida is an over-infestation of yeast in the body. It invades the brain and every tissue of the body, and it grows and lives on what you eat. It makes your body crave what it needs, and rampages until you eat it. Many medications, such as steroid drugs, birth control pills, and antibiotics can increase the likelihood of a candida imbalance.

Drugs are not the answer for candida, and in fact can increase the severity of the problem. Often, when finishing a course of antibiotics or a steroid drug, a person experiences a yeast infection. Drugs that specifically address fungus or candida destroy some of the yeast, but those not destroyed begin to colonize and become more and more drug-resistant. In a stronger state, yeasts produce toxins that attack the body’s defense system and destroy the friendly bacteria in the body so that there is no defense against the new, stronger fungus. “Solving” candida with drugs ‘stuffs’ the immediate discomfort, but causes the yeast to come back with increased strength and, over time, the yeast becomes a problem that affects every facet of life and health.

Through an effective balance of dietary changes, nutritional support, and the increase of friendly bacteria, yeasts can be brought under control in 30 to 60 days. In this short period of time, a new level of vitality and health will have been reached that can be maintained for a lifetime.
