"The diet of the average
North American consists of food that is over processed, low in fiber, and
high in refined sugar. We also consume large amounts of red meat, dairy
products, and wheat. According to a 1977 Journal of American Medical
Association article, this kind of diet results in fewer
"friendly" bacteria in the intestinal tract.
Furthermore, many of us eat too much, too often, and we mix too many
different kinds of food at the same meal.
These and other factors can
cause a thick coat of mucus and impacted food residue, which combines to
form on the walls of the large intestine.
Not only does this encrusted matter contribute to further dysfunction of
the colon, but, according to Bernard Jansen, D.C., in his boldly
illustrated book, Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management,
disease actually begins here because toxins are absorbed to cause
malnutrition of our body cells while absorption of nutrients is prevented.
Candida albicans, a normal
inhabitant of a healthy colon, prefers to live in this toxic filth where
it is warm, putrid, and lacking in oxygen. Consequently, this family of
yeast does well in most colons. In many cases, as noted by
Trowbridge and Walker in The Yeast Syndrome, they become so
prolific that they escape the confines of the intestinal tract and cause
havoc throughout the rest of the body.
According to a research
pioneer, C. Orian Truss, MD, in a paper published in a 1978 issue of The
Journal of Orthomolecular Psychiatry, Candida albicans proliferates in
the intestines because of several factors, including stress, lowered
immune system, antibiotic overuse, oral contraceptives, and use of
cortisone or prednisone.
It can change from the harmless non-invasive, sugar fermenting yeast like
organism to the mycelial, or fungal, form with long, root like structures
that can penetrate the membrane lining of the digestive tract.
If an individual can restore
proper colon hygiene, the Candida will, instead, retreat to their former
subdued state. Dr. David Soil, a University of Iowa biologist reported in
a 1985 Science magazine article that Candida albicans is capable of
changing from benign to virulent and change back to benign. In many
cases, when the Candida returns to the benign form, the immune system will
clear Candida from the rest of the body.
Without paying close attention to the restoration of proper colon
cleanliness, the immune system will be forced to continually battle
Candida and its toxins.
So a clean colon is essential
in the battle against Candida, and the accumulation of filth here can be
decreased, if not eliminated, with proper dietary modifications. First,
adapt these nutritional steps:
1. Eliminate
refined sugar and refined, bleached, chemically treated flour;
2. Eliminate
meats treated with synthetic hormones or chemicals;
3. Eliminate
hydrogenated fats (such as that which exists in peanut butter, baked
goods, margarine, etc.);
4. Reduce fats
(use those rich in Omega-3 --fish and olive oils);
5. Eat fresh and
raw vegetables (40% vegetables, 30% fruit, 20% complex carbohydrates,
and 10% protein.
Eat nothing unless it will spoil
or rot, but eat it before it does so. At the grocery store, shop at the
outer fringes of the building, avoiding canned, packaged products.
Exercise regularly.
Next, eliminate colon toxicity.
