Garden of Life's Fungal Defense delivers nature's most effective anti-yeast and
fungal compounds to actively help eliminate Candida from your body.
What Is Candida ?
Candida Albicans is a single celled fungal yeast. Among the most prolific
organisms on the planet, it is impossible to keep it out of your body.
In a healthy person, it does little harm because its population is kept
in check by beneficial microorganisms (probiotics) which are, however,
easily destroyed by antibiotics, many prescription medications, birth
control pills, poor diet, and daily stress. This can then cause the Candida
yeast to grow out of control, producing chemicals that are toxic to the
body. Yeast overgrowth is thought to affect over 40 million Americans,
both men and women, and is especially prevalent in hyperactive children
and those with ADD and ADHD.
A Word on Diet
The powerful ingredients in Fungal Defense are specifically targeted
to destroy yeast and other fungi and to restore a balanced, healthy internal
environment. To prevent re-infection and to maintain a properly balanced
system, it is critical to reduce, or in some cases, eliminate the intake
of the following foods: sweets, carbohydrates (such as bread, pasta, muffins,
glutenous grains, etc), alcohol, vinegar, fruits, and aged cheeses - as
these foods (especially sugars and carbohydrates) feed the yeast which
thrive in sugary environments and actually cause you to crave these very
foods.
Powerful Anti-Fungal Compounds
HSOs and Their Probiotic Function:
We usually have a balance of approximately 85% good to 15% harmful organisms
in the intestinal tract but most of us today have the opposite ratio.
Homeostatic Soil Organisms (HSOs) are highly
stable beneficial probiotic microorganisms. Impervious to stomach acids,
they crowd out pathogens, eliminating yeast, fungi and bad bacteria from
the intestines.
The Enzyme Connection:
Candida research favorably supports the indespensible role of specific
enzymes and their ability to literally digest Candida cell walls. The
Fungal Defense formula utilizes potent amounts of both cellulase
and protease. Cellulase breaks down fibrous carbohydrates while protease
hydrolyzes (digests) protein. These two enzymes help to dissolve the cell
wall of yeast and other fungi.
Wild Oregano and Olive Leaf Extracts:
Fungal Defense contains the most powerful anti-fungal substances
found in nature. Wild Oregano and Olive Leaf Extracts are recognized for
their potent anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-parasitic
properties. Their primary fungicidal components work synergistically to
help eliminate yeast and fungus on contact.
Garlic and Yucca Juice Extracts:
Known as Russian penicillin, Garlic is considered to be nature's premier
antibiotic and anti-fungal. It is effective against bacteria and yeast
that may be resistant to antimicrobial medications yet does not destroy
the body's normal, friendly flora.
A potent blood purifier, the juice from the Yucca root found predominantly
in the desert Southwest aids in digestion and produces surfactants which
help to breakdown the lipid envelope that coats certain viruses and fungi
including Candida.
