Apple Cider Vinegar - How can it help against Candida?

Candida albicans (c.albicans) is a yeast that lives quite naturally in the lower bowel, vagina and skin. A healthy immune system keeps this yeast under control, principally through the presence of friendly bacteria like Bifidobacterium Bifidus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, which loves to 'eat' yeasts like c. albicans.

However a compromised immune system often does not have the right amount of these bacteria. A course of anti-biotics, steroids or other immuno-suppressants will kill the friendly bacteria, but not the c.albicans (which is a fungus). In the right conditions the c.albicans will begin to grow uncontrollably developing into a condition called Candidiasis or more commonly Thrush. If left untreated the candida can break down the mucosal lining between the gastrointestinal tract and the bloodstream allowing toxins to pass into the blood and around the body. This exreme form of Candidiasis can lead to a further compromising of the immune system and serious chronic health problems.

Apple Cider Vinegar - A powerfull anti-fungal.

Apple Cider vinegar can be used alongside an anti-candida diet to kill and control candida overgrowth. The vinegar is an excellent anti-fungal and can be applied in a water solution as an anal/vaginal enema to kill vaginal and bowel fungal overgrowth. Through the same mechanism it can be used as a gargle or mouthwash to kill oral candida overgrowth.

Apple Cider Vinegar Douche Solution.

Add 3 tablespoons of raw, unpasteurised Apple Cider Vinegar to 8 cups of water.

Use this cleansing douche solution twice a day when experiencing severe symptoms. Once the symptoms have reduced the solution can be used just once a day.

Continue to use for a few days after the symptoms have gone and then stop.

Apple Cider Vinegar Shallow Bath.

Run enough warm water into a bath to cover the groin up to the belly and add 2 cups of raw, unpasteurised Apple Cider Vinegar.
You can bathe in the solution for 15 minutes per day to help reduc the symptoms of vaginal yeast infections. Sit in the bath with your knees pulled up, not laid straight out.

Apple Cider Vinegar Drink.

To make a nice warm apple drink mix 1-2 tablespoons to approximately 180ml of hot (not boiling) water. Sweeten this with a teaspoon of Blackstrap Mollasses or too taste. Drink this slowly before your meal.
Drinking the Apple Cider Vinegar will cause quite bit of yeast and bacterial die off in the stomach. This can leave you feeling a little unwell, naseous and possibly dizzy. However, this is just your body getting rid of these extra toxins and will soon pass. Too ease these die-off symptoms you may like to try taking an Epsom Salt bath. Just add 2 cups of Epsom salts to a hot bath and soak.
