Some Candida Herbs' Discussion - Forget About Killing the Yeast

By Angie Lindsey
I will discuss some candida herbs, based on someone's letter I just got. This person wants to know how effective Pau d'Arco is. She is taking it in a concentrated liquid form along with olive leaf extract capsules. She has a natural healing book that suggests using Maitake tea if you stop responding to Pau d'Arco. She couldn't find

the tea at the health food store today, but she found it in capsule and it is a type of mushroom. She always thought mushrooms were a definite no-no when treating candida. She wants to get more information about it, also about Diatomaceous Earth that she doesn't really understand.

I would rotate the olive leaf, too, because it will get resistant if you just take on a daily basis. Also, Pau d'Arco must be boiled to receive more benefit. I have tried Maitake tea. It is a fungus and a mold, so don't mess around with it, since there are other things you could take. I would forget about killing the yeast. Just build up your immunity, eliminate allergens, keep your colon as clean as possible and juice as many green vegetables and red cabbage as possible. That worked better for me than all the things I took to kill yeast.

As for the Diatomaceous Earth, I heard that something about how it would cut through candida and even farmers will mix this with animal feed to kill parasites, etc. Well, I asked my friend who is a veterinarian just to double check before I spent $20 ordering some, and this is what he said. Unless there is a course mix of this stuff, it does not do those things internally. Piled on a bug or critter on the ground it might dehydrate it enough for it to die.

I do not believe that it will kill parasites internally. I suspect that Kaolin is almost the same thing and may be identical. It is in Kaopectate. You probably have taken a lot of it at one time or another. I think some one is dreaming up properties that do not exist.
