hey, guys. dr. axe here, doctor of functionalmedicine and founder of draxe.com. today i'm going to share with you the exact diet, treatmentand supplements you need to take the clear candida from your body. and this is what ireally consider to be my six-step candida cure diet protocol. and you're going to seeamazing results with this protocol. and let me say this first, what is candida?candida is the overgrowth of yeast and bad bacteria in your body and it can cause somemajor symptoms that you want to get rid of. and so some of the symptoms of candida caninclude any type of fatigue issue. if you struggle with chronic fatigue or adrenal fatigue,those can be related to candida. any type of leaky gut issue. leaky gut isintestinal permeability, where proteins like
gluten can leak through your gut and causeinflammation of your body. so if you have food sensitivities or if you have digestiveissues like gas and bloating, also if you have any problem related to the thyroid, thosecan be warning signs you have candida. also if you get yeast in your body. if younotice, let's say, yeast or whiteness on your tongue or if you ever get chronic yeast infectionsor coming down with the cold and flu often, those can be warning signs that you have candida.and, of course, also with candida any sort of other digestive issues, like irritablebowel syndrome or chronic diarrhea or constipation or even acid reflux, those are warning signsthat you might have candida. and last but not least, is a sluggish metabolism.if you aren't losing weight and burning fat
like you know you should be, those are warningsigns you could have candida, along with actually even bad breath and lack of detoxification.those are some major warning signs. so here are the six things you need to do to eliminatecandida fast. number one, you need to stop consuming somuch sugar. now, i know that's obvious. that's something that i think most of us realizeis that sugar feeds yeast in your body. but again, you have got to get rid of processedsugar, fruit juices, any sort of added sugar to any sort of product sweetener. even mostpackaged products and fast foods are also high in sugar. even things like pasta saucesand crackers, you'd be surprised, but sugar is added to almost everything.
so again, eliminate especially the processedsugar out of your diet. as a replacement, i recommend using a little bit of stevia,which is a no-calorie natural sweetener and then about one to three teaspoons a day ofmanuka honey. okay? those are the sweeteners you should be using if you have candida. number two. you need to eliminate grains fromyour diet. why? because grains turn into sugar and they also tend to be more inflammatory.and so again, getting those grains out of your diet, especially wheat products and gluten-containinggrains, that's step number two. instead, do a lot more vegetables and maybe some starchycarbs. number three thing you have to do to clearcandida from you system, is support your spleen.
now, this is cutting-edge information thata lot of people don't realize. and this is a practice in ancient china that is oftenused by acupuncturists today. but they have found that the number one cause of candidais a weakened spleen. and so if you have spleen issues, and spleen is responsible for digestionof the body, producing red blood cells in your system. and so the spleen is a very importantorgan. in order to support the spleen, there area couple things you need to do. but really the spleen is supported by starchy foods,especially squash, things like sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and also even doing certaintypes of beans like lentils and mung beans. so again, getting some of those good starchycarbs.
and that's really where your sweetness shouldcome from. a little bit of butternut squash, acorn squash, foods like that that has thatmild sweetness. that's the only sweet you should be really getting in your diet. again,with no processed sugar and, again, very low amount of fruit typically when you have that,as well. but again, you want to support the spleen. another great way to support the spleen isby drinking barley tea. you can buy roast barley tea on amazon.com. and barley tea isthe number one herb really that helps support the spleen as well doing that as a tea. the next thing you want to do, number four,is support the liver. the liver is crucial
and supporting the liver in terms of detoxificationfor getting rid of candida in your body. and again, your liver is responsible for detoxification.so for that reason you really want to support that area. and so really the foods that support the liverare sour foods. and so doing a lot of probiotic-rich foods and sour foods, things like 24-29 hourfermented kefir, also fermented vegetables, like sauerkraut and kimchi, and apple cidervinegar. but getting those sour foods are great for supporting the liver and gettingrid of candida. number five thing you've got to do is you'vegot to support your intestines, both your small and large intestine. and that reallycomes down to bitter foods, foods that are
bitter in nature, things like kale and arugulaare more bitter. cinnamon and ginger and certain spices like turmeric are more bitter in nature.but doing bitter foods and bitter herbs, those are very supportive of the digestive track.romaine lettuce is another one. so again, i would really suggest that you also get someof those bitter foods in your diet. and last but not least, you've got to takea probiotic supplement. one of the keys to overcoming candida is eliminating and reallystarving off the sugar and yeast in your body by eliminating sugar and grades. and thenat the same time as those bacteria or those yeast die off, loading up on good bacteria.so again, making sure you're getting some of those good quality probiotics in your diet.i'd recommend typically taking a double or
triple dose of probiotics while you're doinga candida cleanse or while you're doing this candida protocol for at least 30 to probably90 days of following this program. and the last sort of bonus tip i want to givehere is a lot of times people tend to go and get antifungals, whether it be a medicationor even supplements to eliminate candida. and i want to say this, that really doesn'ttake care of the main cause of candida. typically when you have candida, the thing you wantto do is follow those dietary protocols and support the organs i talked about in yourspleen, your liver and especially your small intestine. but again, in certain cases, for taking forabout a 10 to 14 day period you can take natural
antifungals like oil of oregano, grape seedextract, garlic, other essential oils as well can work. so you want to do those, but don'ttake those more than 10 to 14 days and make sure you're following the diet with that.if you can follow those tips, i guarantee you're going to see great results in eliminatingcandida from your body. one more last tip. don't consume a lot ofcold foods. cold foods actually tend to be hard on the spleen and can cause candida togrow in your system. you actually want to be doing a lot of warm foods like bone brothsoup, which is a great thing for getting rid of candida as well. guys, this has been dr. axe with my best tipson how to clear candida. and by the way, if
