Home Cures and Treatmentsfor common ailments

Candida overgrowth seriously disrupted my life and what is so frustrating is that this can be avoided if doctors would tell their patients that they need to replace the intestinal flora that is destroyed by the antibiotics they prescribe. Due to the high intake of antibiotics in treatment for peptic ulcers, I developed this possibly even more harmful affliction.

A dear friend who had been seriously ill, visited me one day and told me that after testing, she had been diagnosed with Candida albicans and had some literature she wanted me to read. After digesting all the new information she had given me, I began searching for a way to rid myself of this awful affliction. In my chiropractors office I happened to find a brochure on Virgin Coconut Oil and it’s many uses. It promoted coconut oil as means to cure fungus.

It is one the best remedies I have found. It has a medium-chain fatty acid known as caprylic acid. Caprylic acid has been used for some time as a natural remedy for curing candida, but I didn’t know it came from coconut oil. Since then I have kept coconut oil in my diet.

What I love about coconut oil is you can use it both internally and externally. It is used topically for healing fungal skin infections and internally to kill candida in the gut as well as systemically. It can also be swished around in the mouth to cure oral thrush.

I can be used just like any other cooking oil and adds a wonderful flavor to baked and fried foods. It also doesn’t contain the trans-fatty acids that most other oils have.
