*Infectious Diseases: The Anti Over Growth of Candida Diet That Works, Cited by MEDLINE

By Kyle J. Norton, Scholar, Master of Nutrition

Candida albicans are members of a large group of micro organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within the membranes, including yeast(2)(3), fungi(4)(5)(6), and mold(6) that live among the gut flora in the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract.

Non-albicans Candida (NAC) species cause 35-65% of all candidaemias in the general patient population(1).

According to joint study, in many cases, biofilm(microorganisms with cells stick to each other on a surface) formation(7) gene mutations(8) and overexpression of genes(9)(10) are often associated with increased candida resistance toward antifungal drugs.

Over growth of candida is associated to some life threatening and chronic implications, including toxic shock syndrome(TSS), scalded skin syndrome (SSS), irritable bowel syndrome ,..... and
Fibromyalgia(a)


The Anti Over Growth of Candida Diet 

1. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar is a type of vinegar made from cider or apple must and has a pale to medium amber color.

Beside it is known for treating obesity(208)(209), the liquid is rich in natural enzymes which aid in digestion,

Apple cider vinegar also balances your body's pH level,

Its high amount of antioxidants also restore the natural balance of healthy bacteria in the gut by creating a perfect environment for those healthy bacteria to grow,  while keeping candida in check(207) by enhancing the immune function(210) in regulating the microorganism in the body.


2. Coconut oil
Coconut oil is extracted from the kernel or meat of matured coconut harvested from the coconut palm tree, native to the tropical world.

Coconut oil, is one of most effective antibacterial(including Candida)(211)(213), antioxidant(214), antiviral(215) agents, used in traditional medicinal remedies for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(216) and inflammation(217). Caprylic acid, a minor constituent of coconut oil has been demonstrated to inhibit fungal growth(212)(218), both topically and internally.

3. Garlic
Garlic is species of Allium sativum, belongings to the family Alliaceae, used as both food and medicine in many cultures for thousands of years.

Garlic cloves are used as a remedy for infections(219)(220), digestive disorders(221), and fungal infections, including candida(222), due to large number of anti-fungal properties of sulphur, allicin, alliin, alliinase and S-allylcysteine.

4. Ginger
Ginger is a species of Zingiber officinale, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, used as a delicacy, medicine, or spice in many cultures.

The gingerrols in ginger increase the motility of the gastrointestinal tract(223) and as analgesic(224)(226), sedative(225), antipyretic(226), antibacterial(227) and anti- inflammatory(228) properties.

Researcher (Am. J. Applied Sci., 6 (6): 1067-1069, 2009) found that ginger extract with plentiful of gingerol inhibits the growth of many bacteria and fungi, including candida ablicans(229)
