The Power of your Metabolism

CANDIDA ALBICANS YEAST, “THE SILENT EPIDEMIC”

In my company, Natural Slim, more than 20,000 people have been helped in losing weight and recovering their metabolism.  In the process of working with so many people that wanted to lose weight, we learned a lot.  We had the opportunity of discovering various factors that are of true importance for anyone that wants to recover their metabolism and leave behind being overweight or obese once and for all.

The topic of the candida albicans yeast is vital information.  It is something so important to know about that when we discovered that this yeast lowers the metabolism of the body, we began to use a natural yeast cleansing program in Natural Slim and our success rate nearly doubled.  In starting to treat the yeast infections of our Natural Slim system members, we succeeded in helping more people lose weight, even those who had failed in all of their previous efforts.  We saw some incredible things, like the case of a woman who managed to go from a size 22 down to a size 6 after doing the yeast cleansing; it was amazing! We had discovered the solution to one of the worst causes of a “slow metabolism” and this, more than anything else, guaranteed our success.

Candida albicans is one of the many organisms that live inside the human body.  Different organisms exist most especially in the intestinal area, called the “gut flora”, and the vaginal area (in the case of women) called “the “vaginal flora”.  Within these organisms there are different classes of bacteria, various types of yeasts, viruses and certain types of parasites.  We don’t necessarily like to think of these types of things, but the truth is, that various types of organisms like these survive inside of our body.

All humans are born with the candida yeast as part of their intestinal and vaginal flora.  It is a natural organism in all humans.  It is for this same reason that traditional medicine hasn’t placed much importance on the subject.  However, since the 1980’s various prominent allergists and specialists in infectious organisms have given the voice of alert about the growing infections of the candida yeast.

Dr. William G. Crook, an allergist, with his book, “Yeast Connection Handbook”, is possibly the main exponent of what some have called “the silent epidemic of the candida albicans yeast”.

When this yeast has overgrown in the body, it causes what is called a “systemic infection”.  It is at this point that the candida yeast is transported through the blood and it invades other organs in the body creating serious health and metabolism problems.  People with systemic infections from this yeast always have a “slow metabolism” and can’t lose weight under any diet or exercise plan.  If they do lose weight, they do it at such a slow rate that they generally get discouraged.

CANDIDA ALBICANS YEAST CLOSE UP VIEW

A researcher of this subject found that the candida albicans yeast produces 78 different toxins inside the body and this creates a toxic and acidic environment inside the body, which basically turns off the metabolism.  Having a very developed candida colony or an “overgrowth” of this yeast in the body is one of the main reasons why some people have a “slow metabolism”. As long as they have this yeast infection in their body, no effort they make to lose weight will work for them.  The body of a person who has an “overgrowth” of the candida yeast is full of toxins produced by the yeast.

Yeasts like candida albicans create “mycotoxins ”.  This is a well-known fact by experts in toxic substances.  For example, there are yeasts that produce a poisonous toxin called “aflatoxin” that has been proven to be highly carcinogenic (causes cancer) and has been used as a biological war weapon by some countries.  In some cases the yeast has produced mycotoxins that have poisoned livestock food and have led to many deaths of the animals that livestock owners breed. Farm animals often die or suffer from mycotoxin poisoning. Mycotoxins are powerful poisons that have the ability of paralyzing the respiratory and nervous systems of its victims.

In my experience, nothing produces an increase of the metabolism and allows more noticeable weight loss like doing a program of a candida yeast body cleansing.

There are laboratory tests to detect if your candida albicans yeast infection is severe, but the tests that measure the various toxin levels that produce this yeast in the blood cost more than $300 and really are not available in the majority of laboratories.  The best way to find out if your body is infected by this yeast is to use a list of “indicators” that was developed by Dr. William Cook for his patients.  Perhaps the clearest signs that you have a severe infection of candida albicans in your body are itching on your skin (mainly at night or after showering); you often have stomach or intestinal gases after eating, having sinusitis or suffering from migraines.  The complete list of the symptoms of candida albicans is the following:

• Acne
• Allergies in humid environments
• Allergies to some foods
• Allergies to certain metal jewelry
• Continuously tired
• Urinary tract infections (cystitis)
• Constant or frequent diarrhea
• Pain or vaginal burning while having sex
• Headaches or migraines
• Severe menstrual pain—PMS
• Muscular pain
• Constipation
• Fatigue or weakness
• Vaginal itching or discharge
• Coldness in extremities (hands or feet)
• Excessive stomach or intestinal gases
• Ear infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Irregularity or troubles with menstruation
• Irritability or depression
• Itchy skin (especially at night or after showering)
• Digestive gas problems
• Excessive dryness of the skin
• A “taste of metal” in the mouth
• Rash or spots on skin after sunbathing
• Sensitivity to solar light, teary eyes
• Sensitivity to odors from cigarettes, perfumes or chemicals
• Sinusitis

The more of these symptoms you have in your body the more severe will be the infection of the candida yeast.  I recognize that this list of symptoms is lengthy and a person can begin to justify their symptoms based on other sicknesses or hereditary factors that their body has.  The reality is that when a person does a candida yeast body cleansing, the majority, if not all of these symptoms disappear completely.  This is true in all cases, especially in the cases of people that suffer from sinusitis or migraines.  Throughout the years, we have observed how case after case, the sinusitis and migraines simply disappeared after having cleaned the body of this yeast using natural fungicides (substances that kill funguses or yeasts).

Our interest always has been in helping people recover their metabolism and lose weight.  The almost miraculous recoveries from conditions like sinusitis or migraines are just the added benefits of what we do to help them recover the metabolism.  It’s just that we couldn’t help but notice that after a natural candida yeast cleansing program people are finally able to lose weight much faster and the cleanse also eliminates the majority of the symptoms that this yeast causes.

Doctors refer to the severe candida albicans yeast infection condition as “candidiasis”, but they generally only associate it with cancer patients in their terminal state and with patients that have Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).  The traditional medical point of view is that since we all have the candida albicans yeast it couldn’t be a very serious problem unless the person has a very weak immune system. We can’t blame doctors for the low ability to observe their patient’s symptoms in the case of the candida yeast as they only receive limited information about this subject in medical school.

In fact, some of the most difficult members to help on the Natural Slim system have been people in the medical profession.  When we have told some of them the importance of reducing the body’s colony of the candida albicans yeast, so that they can successfully lose weight quickly, some of them have responded with resistance to the subject.  However, when these doctors followed our recommendations and did do a natural yeast cleansing program, all of them experienced amazing results that turned them into firm believers of the importance of reducing the candida yeast in the body, to be able to increase the metabolism and lose weight. These days, there have been many doctors in our weight loss system that have verified, by their own personal experience, that reducing the candida albicans yeast infection is indeed vital if one wants to be successful in losing weight and recovering the metabolism.

Traditional medicine uses medicines like Diflucan®, Nystatin®, Mycostatin®, Nizerol® and Sporanox®, along with other fungicides to try and kill the candida albicans yeast.  However, even though these medications can help in the cases of people with cancer or AIDS, they are labeled with strong warnings due to the toxic affects and permanent liver damage that they can cause.  The types of chemical substances that these medications contain are toxic not only to the candida albicans yeast but also to many of the other cells in the body.  That’s why in Natural Slim we developed a natural candida yeast cleansing program, to have a way of reducing the yeast colony in the body and getting the person to recover their metabolism and lose weight.  Many of the people that seek help from the Natural Slim™ system are people that have “tried everything” without good results. We know from experience that if you don’t succeed in reducing the infection of the candida albicans yeast in your body, you will not lose weight effectively.

Reducing a severe infection of this yeast is not an easy task.  When we attack the yeast with natural fungicides, like oregano, the reactions can be really unpleasant (headaches, diarrhea, muscular pain, etc.). We have had to learn to increase the dose of the natural fungicides “little by little”.  On the other hand, to be successful, you can’t use common oregano oil like what they sell in natural health food stores.  The regular oregano oil reduces the infection of candida albicans only in the intestine and this is not good enough, given that the candida infection generally is spread throughout the entire body.  Throughout the years and hundreds of tests and trials, we succeeded in finding a natural oregano oil supplement that is emulsified. An emulsion is a mixture of two generally unblendable substances like water and oil. The active yeast killing ingredient in oregano is an oily substance called carvacol. Oils don’t mix well with water and our blood is primarily composed of water. This oregano oil supplement has the advantage of being emulsified and thus mixes well and travels well in the blood and kills the yeast in all of the parts of the body where it could be invading it.

The candida albicans yeast colony in the body can never be eliminated 100% since this yeast is a natural inhabitant of the body.  The strategy that is used is reducing the yeast colony to the point in which it stops being a problem for the metabolism.  If a yeast infection is reduced in size, say from 100% to 20%, we will have had success and the person will be rewarded for their efforts by losing weight.  They will also experience an obvious improvement in their general state of health.

A main discovery has been that this yeast, that normally only inhabits a small part of the intestinal and vaginal flora, can grow to the point of occupying the majority of the internal flora of the body, turning into an aggressive parasite that invades all parts of the body.  The infections of the candida albicans yeast are possibly one of the main and less well-known causes of the epidemic of weight problems and obesity that affect numerous countries in the world.  This has not happened by pure chance.  There are factors that have allowed this yeast, which normally doesn’t affect us, to reproduce at such a fast rate and has turned it into a parasite that leaves the intestine and vaginal area and invades the rest of the body, causing a systemic (body wide) infection that affects all of the body’s organs from the brain to the liver.

In order to resolve the problems that the candida yeast causes for the metabolism and health, it is vital to educate the infected person about the characteristics of his or her internal enemy, candida albicans.  If one wants to overcome an enemy it is important to know the enemy’s characteristics and weak points.  Part of the strategy is to educate the person so that they don’t unknowingly contribute to creating a suitable environment for the growth of this yeast and so that they don’t in a short time go back to having a new “overgrowth” that lowers their metabolism.  The education includes making the person understand which factors are the ones that promote the growth of this yeast inside their body.  The factors that contribute to the “overgrowth” of the candida yeast are:

EXCESS OF REFINED CARBOHYDRATES:

Refined carbohydrates (sugar, candy, bread, rice, etc.) produce an excess of glucose in the blood and this excess of glucose feeds the raging appetite of the candida yeast and makes it grow excessively.  It’s like putting fertilizer on a weed.  When someone maintains high levels of glucose in their body due to their diet high in refined carbohydrates or sweet carbohydrates, the yeast feeds off of it voraciously, which makes it grow and reproduce at an accelerated rate.  Glucose is the main food for all of the cells in our body.  It is also the main food for the candida albicans yeast.  Someone who is accustomed to eating a lot of sweet foods will see their metabolism lower year after year until it turns into a “slow metabolism”.

TAKING ANTIBIOTICS:

Antibiotics get rid of the bacteria that cause infections in the body, but they also get rid of the “good bacteria” that live in the intestine and vaginal area that are natural enemies of the candida albicans yeast.  When the intestinal and vaginal flora die due to the dose of antibiotics, the yeast is left without competition and opposition and it invades the rest of the body quickly.  When someone finds themselves obligated to take antibiotics, they should make sure to also take a supplement to replace the intestinal bacteria with “friendly bacteria”. The “friendly bacteria” have names like acidophilus, bulgaricus and bifidus. In all natural food stores they offer supplements that contain these types of beneficial bacteria which replace the lost “friendly bacteria” that the antibiotic medicine killed and that way your body isn’t missing the intestinal and vaginal friendly bacteria that protect you from the candida yeast.

TAKING ESTROGEN (FEMALE HORMONES):

Contraceptive pills, estrogen patches and medications for menopause speed up the growth of this yeast and cause an “overgrowth”.  Many women lose their beautiful figure after using contraceptive pills or contraceptive patches for just a few months.  Estrogen, of course, is a hormone that accumulates fat and makes you fat, but also has the effect of being a “growth factor” for the candida albicans yeast.  In other words, it allows this yeast to grow quicker.

TAKING CORTISONE:

This medication, cortisone, which is used to lower inflammation in the body, also lowers the immune system and causes the candida albicans yeast to grow increasingly faster, which then lowers the metabolism.  For example, people who suffer from asthma use an inhaler with a medication derived from cortisone.  In addition, many of these people not only suffer from asthma, but they also start to have weight and obesity problems.

DRINKING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES:

When someone has a systemic infection of the candida yeast they should avoid drinking alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, whiskey, rum, etc.) since this yeast lives on alcohol much easier than sugar.

THYROID GLAND PROBLEMS:

The thyroid gland and its related systems control the body’s metabolism, temperature and immune system.  It is a fact that people with hypothyroidism suffer from frequent colds and infections because their immune system is low.  People that have deficient thyroid gland systems tend to have strong infections of this candida yeast.  This happens because their immunological systems are not protecting them from the yeast with the normal efficiency of an agile immune system.

It is vital to know the factors that make the candida albicans yeast grow inside your body.  If someone intends on lowering their level of infection of the candida yeast but doesn’t take into consideration these factors that contribute to create a favorable environment for the yeast, then not much time will pass before their metabolism is lowered by a new increase of the infection with this yeast.  The idea is to reduce the infection in order to recover the metabolism and change your “lifestyle” to see that this yeast doesn’t come back with equal or greater force.  It’s about changing your habits so that you don’t keep feeding and catering to this parasitic organism, candida albicans.

Diabetics, as a result of their diabetic condition, are extremely infected with the candida albicans yeast.  Diabetes, by definition, is a condition in which glucose levels are abnormally high.  It could be said that the body of a diabetic is like a paradise for yeasts like candida albicans because of its constant high abundance of glucose.

This topic about the infections of the candida albicans yeast has, quite possibly, been the most controversial topic that I have run into, in my search for the reasons for the so-called “slow metabolism”.  Oddly enough, it is also the topic that has produced the best results for those thousands of people that had already lost their hope of being able to lose weight.  Still, after many years, I can’t help but be amazed by the positive results that lowering the candida albicans yeast infection can do for your body.  After a candida albicans yeast cleansing program, I’ve seen the weight loss and health recovery of people that before didn’t have hope of ever achieving it.

There is an incalculable satisfaction in finding the cause and solution to a health and metabolism problem like this infection with the candida albicans yeast.
