Candida Albicans, Bio-Films And The Use Of Fulvic Acid

Get the support you need to fight agains Candida

Candida albicans is the most common type of fungal infection found in the mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina (vaginal/genital candidiasis), and can affect the skin and other mucous membranes. It is a disease that can be very uncomfortable as it causes chronic pain and general ill health.

Overgrowth of candidiasis can be difficult for a doctor to diagnose. Possible testing methods include stool tests, serum tests, candidal DNA tests and microbial organic acid tests

What causes yeast infections?

There are many possible causes of candida, including a diet high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and alcohol that help feed candida. Other possible causes include

Antibiotics

Sometimes, antibiotics are needed to fight an infection in order to eliminate the offending bacteria in your system. The problem with antibiotics and their overuse is that they don’t just kill the bad bacteria; they also kill the good ones.
The good bacteria in your system are responsible for digestion and keeping candida under control. After a long course (or multiple courses in a short period), antibiotics can make your body a literal breeding ground for candida.

Birth Control Pills

Unlike antibiotics, birth control pills alone do not directly cause an infection or Candida Overgrowth Syndrome. However, when a woman eats a diet high in refined sugars and has taken antibiotics, birth control pills can negatively affect her body, leading to a yeast infection.

Here are some of the symptoms that can occur with this infection:

Mood disorders
Recurrent vaginal and urinary tract infections
Sinusitis
Chronic Intestinal Pain
Confusion (mist) of mind
Hormonal Imbalance
Chronic Fatigue

Intensive treatment

The best way to get rid of Candida is by performing an intensive treatment that includes diet, essential oils and fulvic acid, since we will not be able to eliminate Candida until we have managed to remove the bio-film. This is where fulvic acid plays an essential role.

Before we go any further, we must clarify a basic concept that is bio-film; bio-films are thick secretions produced by bacteria and fungi that protect these microorganisms from antibiotics and other treatments that would destroy them. Therefore, to eliminate these microorganisms we must also eliminate this bio-film.

Stomach problems, including candidiasis, consist of bio-films produced by microbes. Bio-films produce microbial resistance, so the microbes are resistant to prescription antibiotics and antifungals. Common drugs and treatments do not eliminate all biofilms. Even mouthwash products containing chlorhexidine do not kill them. Therefore, new agents are needed to control these types of diseases.

Treatment 1: Fulvic Acid

Fulvic acid exhibits potent antifungal activity that fights candida. Fulvic acid has been found to be anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and very effective in breaking down bio-films.

A 2012 study by UK researchers on a range of around 50 clinical strains of Candida demonstrates the potent ability of fulvic acid to combat Candida overgrowth and infection.

This study shows that fulvic acid was the most effective solution compared to four common antifungal agents, followed by caspofungin, amphotericin B, and voriconazole.

Fulvic acid was shown to effectively destroy candida overgrowth and is effective against plankton and sessile cells of all strains, while existing antifungal agents showed increased resistance to bio films.

Its work at the cellular level guarantees the progressive dissolution of bio films and as it is the most effective antioxidant it will not only help us against candida but will also eliminate all types of toxins, heavy metals and pathogens from our organism, helping our liver to process food better. Almost automatically our immune system will begin to recover and restore our energy levels.

Fulvic acid contains over 70 beneficial micro nutrients that will help us restore our intestinal health, including:

• Electrolytes
• Antioxidants
• Prebiotics
• Probiotics
• Enzymes
• Amino acids
• Natural detoxifying compounds

Treatment 2: Essential Oils

Research shows that C. albicans, the strain of candida that leads to systemic candida overgrowth, is often resistant to both fluconazole and itraconazole, the most commonly prescribed antifungal drugs for candida.

Coconut oil can effectively fight candida due to its antimicrobial properties. The combination of lauric acid and caprylic acid found in coconut oil kills harmful candida through ingestion and topical application.
Milk thistle supplements help cleanse your liver of prescription drugs (steroids, birth control, antibiotics, among others), environmental contamination, heavy metals, and the remnants of both chemotherapy and radiation.
As mentioned above, some prescription drugs can lead to the overgrowth of candida. Milk thistle, along with the Candida diet, can help your body recover and create an environment where Candida stops thriving.

Vitamin C helps stimulate the adrenal glands and helps restore the immune system. I recommend 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C two or three times a day, taking a total of 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams daily.
Clove oil, oregano oil and myrrh oil help kill a variety of parasites and fungi, including candida, in the body. Lavender oil also inhibits the growth of candida and is effective in preventing the spread of infection.
For example, adding a couple of drops of clove or lavender oil mixed with coconut oil during cleanup can help kill candida. Because these essential oils are potent, they should only be taken internally for 10 days or less.

Also, for thrush, use three drops of clove oil with one tablespoon of coconut oil and bathe in your mouth for 20 minutes.

Treatment 3 : The Candida Diet

• The first step of the diet is to strengthen the immune system through the elimination of sugar, alcohol and refined carbohydrates. These products are contributing to the growth of candida in your system.
• The second step is to replace these foods with organic vegetables, including carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale and asparagus.

Also, keep fruit consumption low, as well as natural sweeteners such as maple syrup or honey.

Probiotics such as kimchi and sauerkraut are good options to your diet, as well as unsweetened cranberry juice, because they create an acidic environment that hinders the development of Candida.
Fermented vegetables contain microflora that helps protect the intestines. Regular consumption of fermented foods can help improve the immune system. Start with half a cup a day of sauerkraut, kimchi or other fermented vegetables as part of a new eating plan dedicated to returning your body to a healthy balance.

The candida diet helps provide beneficial bacteria, regulates appetite, and reduces your cravings for carbohydrates and refined sugars.

If you decide to make the decision to eradicate these fungi once and for all you should know that fulvic acid is “a highly effective antiseptic” and has shown better results than antibiotics and prescription drugs.

“Fulvic acid is the best solution to the growing problem of environmental pollution of our bodies in the 21st century, because its natural ability to remove toxins from the cells is unmatched by any other method of detoxification of the body”
