Treating Candidas: Nutritional Approaches to a Common Problem

There are multiple factors that may trigger the form changes and proliferation of Candida that result in candidiadis. This condition develops when the balance between yeast and bacteria is upset as a result of:

· Immune dysfunction · Disruption in ratio of good to bad bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract · Upset in intestinal pH

 

Immune dysfunction is caused by a number of factors: ingestion of certain drugs, like anti-inflamatories, cortisone, birth control pills, chemotherapy and antibiotics; exposure to toxic metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel and aluminum and other environmental toxins; generation of internal toxins as a result of poor digestion and focal infection (a walled off area of concentrated toxins and dead and/or infected tissue, often in the mouth); stress and over-consumption of refined carbohydrates. All of these factors create an imbalance of gut flora (with the bad bacteria outnumbering the good) called dysbiosis, which can […]

Around The World In 80 Procedures

Medical tourism is a field that has gained a great deal of traction. Bringing vacation together with low-cost medical procedures, it is an odd-yet-attractive synthesis. The phenomenon is not just a hot item for Americans;

31 percent of West Australian women surveyed say they would consider it.

Due to the obvious ability to obtain medical treatments anywhere and save, medical tourism has travelers upping the ante on this unique opportunity. After all, who doesn’t enjoy saving money on medical costs and seeing the world at the same time?

5 Perks of a Career in Healthcare

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nine of the top 20 careers with the greatest amount of projected growth are in the healthcare industry. Whether you’re searching for an entirely new career, or are getting ready to enter the job market for the first time, there are some compelling reasons to consider pursuing a career in the healthcare field.

Constant Demand

Throughout their lives, people can take advantage of more opportunities when they enjoy good health. That reality, combined with continuing advances in medical technology, mean that regardless of the specific career path you choose, you’ll likely always be in demand. Unlike some other types of jobs where downsizing is a risk, there is an aging population, and that helps to ensure a steady need for healthcare related assistance too. This job stability and security gives you more peace of mind around the workplace and offers opportunities to participate […]

Don’t Bring “The Outside World” With You

Many people we’ve met who claim they want the survivalist lifestyle are in complete shock when they come to realize that this isn’t suburbia with different scenery. It requires a complete change from most peoples’ current lifestyle and mindset.

Life in the wilderness is closely aligned with nature, the direct opposite of what we have been conditioned to accept as urban/suburban life. If you live in an air conditioned home, work in an air-conditioned office, drive in an air conditioned car, with artificial lights all around…it would be hard to more disconnected from nature than you are right now.

Living in your survivalist retreat doesn’t mean you just pick up your whole suburban life and move it to a different location. If you need to hang on to having a supermarket down the block, don’t move from where you are. If your retreat is in the desert and you really […]

Maintaining A Healthy Balance

Losing weight, getting into shape, and feeling better are the goals of many, but some take it too far. That fighting addiction often replaces food, alcohol, drug, and other dangerous dependencies with a healthier, but also dangerous addiction to exercise. With the help of professional websites, such as DrugRehab.org and accountability partners, you can find a healthy balance between the four legitimate needs of your life.

Finding a balance between your legitimate needs will lead you to a better life and will ensure you don’t fall into the traps of addiction again. Addicts tend to replace one addiction with another. For example, many recovering alcoholics might start smoking, drinking coffee or may even replace alcohol with food. This can become very dangerous, especially when an addict replaces something with exercise and takes it too far.

The legitimate needs of every human being include physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Many other […]

Yes – You ARE What You Eat

First of all, let me say here that we are not offering medical advice. The information here is simply our opinion, based on our own research and experience.

If you are wondering how it has been so easy for TPTB to have turned the overwhelming majority of the American population into sheep who believe everything they are told and comply with outrageous demands and actions, it is partly because they have been replacing our good, healthy, natural foods with foods laced with poisons for decades.

Why would anyone take pleasure in adulterating the food supply? Try this theory – if TPTB can make the masses believe that the cheap crap they get fed (butter substitutes from hydrogenated oils, sugar substitutes, flavor substitutes, etc.) is actually good food, then the less the peons need to have money and the more money is available for TPTB to harvest.

The assault has been […]
