So, you have been suffering from fungal infections for years, and nobody has helped you. If you follow these dietary changes exactly and they don’t help, then I know you didn’t follow them to the letter.
Fungal Infections
There are certain foods that feed fungus, while others create an unpleasant environment for fungal pathogens. Fungus thrives on sugar, so anything sweet will feed it. Since it is similar to mold and yeast, avoiding fermented or moldy foods, like algae and spirulina, helps the candida eventually go away. Of course, the best approach is to diagnose the root cause of the candida infection and address that. These infections may only arise in individuals with weak adrenal glands. It’s also common for fungal infections to occur after a round of antibiotics, birth control pills, or heavy metal exposure. Fungal infections are the body’s natural way of chelating toxic chemicals, such as heavy metals.

The only issue with this diet is that it will not work without the Triad of Health Vibrational Biodynamic Assessment and treatments. The initial assessment helps us determine the underlying causes of your infection. After all, you may have more than one infection at a time. Does this make sense? You might not only have a candida or fungal infection but also mold, yeast, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections. The initial diagnosis is key to understanding what’s wrong and how we need to proceed with helping you improve your health.
The #1 cause of suffering in North American women:
Chronic inflammatory symptoms can dramatically change one’s quality of life, both physically and emotionally. Autoimmune and related illnesses, such as thyroid conditions, digestive disorders, female hormone imbalances, skin conditions, fatigue, and chronic pain, can have a significant impact on those affected.
These conditions are often mislabeled and poorly understood. To repeat, very rarely is the root cause investigated or addressed. This leads to repeated doctor’s visits and chronic suffering, with little to no answers.
Please share this post with someone you know who could benefit. Someone with autoimmune disease or recurrent candida or fungal infections would be ideal. If you see a comment section below, please comment. Thank you.
