Hey guys, Dr. Axe here, doctor of natural medicine and founder of DrAxe.com. In this
video I'm going to share with you The Candida Diet and my top tips to cure candida fast.
I can tell you from working with thousands of patients. I'm going to go through the exact
diet, the supplements, and a few treatment tips that I can tell you, just within 24 hours
you can start seeing incredible results in eliminating candida.
So let's start with number one, the foods you've got to get out of your diet. It's going
to be sugar, grains, and surprisingly foods that are cold. Now, that's part of Chinese
medicine which I'll share more in a minute. But for starting out, if you have candida,
you obviously . . . I think you know this, but you want to get rid of sugar. You know,
any time you have that white thrush on your tongue, that's a sign that yeast is feeding
on sugar within your body.
We want to start eliminating yeast. We want to stop feeding that candida albicans. And
so, in order to do that, you've got to eliminate all sugar from your diet, and then also eliminate
grains because grains are breaking down into sugar very quickly and even fruit at first.
Now, listen, long-term, you're going to add some grains back in after a few days and even
fruit later on. But again, to start those are the biggest culprits that are causing
candida to grow.
And last but not least, this is really important. If you're over consuming cold foods, ice water,
ice cream, cold smoothies. According to Chinese medicine, your spleen and pancreas and these
areas in your body that are responsible for eliminating candida, they get over burdened
by cold foods. And so rather than having a cold smoothie, have a warm bowl of broth or
rather than doing ice cream, have something warm. Again, you want things that are warming
to your body and drying. That's the key to killing candida.
Number two is doing a candida cleanse. Before you go on my candida diet, what I recommend
the first thing you do is do a three day cleanse where you're only consuming bone broth and
vegetables, and that's really it for three days. So again, bone broth, vegetables. You
could do a little chicken in there as well.
Basically you want to get a big crock pot. You want to do some chicken broth along with
vegetables, including onions, celery, garlic, and a little bit of kale and sea salt. And
basically you're going to do that soup with basically vegetables. You can also throw in
things, like cauliflower and broccoli. And you're going to do that bone broth soup with
a little bit of chicken and just consume that for three days. I've had people do that two
weeks to see even faster results. That's where you want to start, in terms of doing a candida
cleanse. It's mostly bone broth for a few days with a little bit of vegetables and sometimes
a little bit of chicken.
Step three is doing the candida diet, and here are the best foods for helping you cure
candida. Number one, it's going to be steamed vegetables, okay? Vegetables are the easiest
thing for your body to digest. That's the first food. The second food is going to be
fermented vegetables, like sauerkraut. Now, typically you don't want to eat the sauerkraut
cold, but sauerkraut and kimchi are warming to the body. They actually also help your
body get more good bacteria in its probiotics which will help crowd out the yeast and bad
bacteria that's built up within your system.
The number three food is going to be bone broth. Bone broth is incredible because it
contains the amino acid, glycine, which supports the liver and helps your body clear candida.
The fourth food is going to be organic meat, like wild caught salmon, organic chicken and
turkey, lamb and grass fed beef. Those are some other great options of foods that can
help eliminate candida.
And last but not least, it's going to be starchy vegetables, specifically things like butternut
squash, spaghetti squash, and pumpkin. Doing a little bit of starchy vegetables. Now, you
don't want to overboard with those, but one to two servings a day, earlier in the day,
rather than doing grains and sugars, you do starchy vegetables which are a little bit
sweet. According to Chinese medicine, those foods help nourish the spleen. They help nourish
the body so your body can actually start to build up the strength of those organs which
are responsible for eliminating candida from the body.
By the way, if you want to a full report on this on all of the foods that are best, I've
got an article on DrAxe.com. So you can go to DrAxe.com, look up candida diet, and I've
got a diet on there for you on my website.
Step number four is take the right supplements. By far, the number one supplement for killing
candida is actually not just a supplement, it's a tea. It's called Pau d'Arco. Now, you
can take Pau d'Arco as a supplement, but I recommend it in a tea form drinking three
glasses of Pau d'Arco tea a day. And Pau d'Arco, that's spelled P-A-U d'Arco, D-A-R-C-O tea,
and you can order this simply online very easily. But I'm telling you the number one
supplement for killing candida is Pau d'Arco tea. It works very effectively.
A few other things that really help are essential oils, specifically essential oils of clove,
oil of oregano, and myrrh essential oil. Those three oils help eliminate pathogenic bacteria
from the body. And the way that I recommend you use those is simply rubbing those on your
abdomen, rubbing those on your neck, diffusing them in your home. Simply breathing those
in on a regular basis but those essential oils are effective.
A few other things that are effective at candida are taking capric acids, a caprylic acid supplement,
taking a berberine supplement, and then also using coconut oil. In fact, coconut oil has
anti-microbial benefits at killing off candida.
And last step but not least in the candida diet is actually has to do with lifestyle.
If you want to overcome candida, you've got to reduce stress, and exercise can help in
eliminating candida, specifically anything that's really getting the body warm. So whether
that's weight training, whether that's any form of cardio, actually typically weight
training or burst training is the best thing to do. And you can do a Google search for
burst training online, but that's going to be the most effective type of exercise to
clear candida completely from the body. And so, again, if you want to clear candida, you've
got to do that.
And here's something else I want you to think about. With the Chinese diet, if you look
at Chinese medicine, what happens, your body, when you have candida, it's typically damp
and cold, okay? So think about that. That's where mold and fungus and things grow. If
you want to get rid of candida, you have got to consume a diet that is drying and warmer.
And so foods that are very drying in nature are going to be vegetables that's going to
be warm foods, like garlic and onions. It's going to be actually if you're going to do
one grain corn and then amaranth are two of the best because they're drying to the body.
You really want to dry the body out, and that's why Paul d'Arco tea is so great as well.
