How to Detox the Body to Get Rid of a Fungus
Getting a fungus or yeast infection is never a pleasant experience. Most of the time, it is caused by an existing disease and poor hygiene. What most people do not know is that it can also be caused by weakened immune system, which is caused by unhealthy alterations to the bodily terrain. These changes are a common result of metabolizing heavy metals, more commonly known as toxins. We get these toxins from chemical food preservatives and possible lead and mercury poisoning. In this light, undergoing a detoxification process is beneficial to healing or managing fungus infection.

Lighten your toxin load to help the body's built-in detoxification system (the liver and kidneys) fully eliminate years' worth of built-up toxins. This provides a good reason to cut out soda, alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugar and saturated fats. In addition, minimizing the use of chemical-based household cleaners, as well as personal-care products, is advised. Go for natural substitutes and alternatives.

Choose a detox diet that will work for you. If you are not familiar with these kinds of processes, they simply entail shifting to a diet with higher fiber and optimum food nutrient content. Just avoid the foods that are known to promote yeast growth. Foods like wheat, milk and simple sugars must be minimized, if not eliminated from your diet. A diet filled with high complex carbohydrates (beans, grains, vegetables) is effective in controlling the population of the fungus that is rooted inside the body. A high-fiber diet promotes regular bowel movements ,which are extremely helpful in flushing out the accumulated toxins and other metabolized matter that harmful fungus and bacteria feed on.

Start taking dietary supplements, particularly vitamin C supplements. Aside from being a bowel tolerant, vitamin C is known to strengthen the immune system, which helps the body manage fungus infection. In addition, taking supplements that are based on herbs--like dandelion root, burdock, milk thistle and green tea--is extremely helpful in heightening the body's defense against fungus infection.

Pay attention to your oral health. While green tea is known to have cleansing and detox properties, occasionally brush your teeth with a solution made from buffered ascorbate, baking soda and peroxide to ease up oral fungal or yeast infection. Gargling with a 0.5 percent peroxide solution has been found to be effective in healing oral candidiasis.

Drink lots of water. It's one of nature's detox aids. A body that is not sufficiently hydrated is prone to infection. Not only will dehydration affect kidney and liver function, but it causes a weakened immune system. Water basically takes care of the cells. In supporting healthy cell regeneration and rejuvenation, it minimizes the occurrence of infection and helps heal possible signs of fungal infection. Through water, all the built-up toxins, wastes and other elements that are related to fungal growth are effectively flushed from the body.
