How to Kill Systemic Yeast & Fungi in the Body Naturally

Yeast infections are caused by fungal organisms that colonize the digestive tract and can lead to fatigue, digestive problems and even more-serious health conditions. In fact, in a study conducted at the Jagiellonian University Medical College in Krakow, Poland, by Malgorzata Zwolinska-Wcislo M.D. et al. and published in 2006 (title of journal unavailable), yeast was found to be implicated in ulcerative colitis, gastric ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). There are some very common natural substances that have been shown in clinical studies to kill or inhibit yeast fungus in the body and they can be used in the comfort of your own home.

      Eat yogurt on a daily basis. The "friendly" bacteria, called probiotics, in cultured yogurt products are your best ally against invasive yeasts. In the above-mentioned study by Zwolinska-Wcislo, Lactobacillus acidophilus, the most common probiotic in yogurt, was able to significantly inhibit Candida albicans, one of the most common fungi responsible for yeast infections. The study found that the probiotic therapy also reversed ulcerative conditions in many of the patients. Probitics, such as lactobaccillus, can also be purchased in supplement form.

      Eat coconut oil. Coconut oil is an abundanat source of a variety of medium-chain fatty acids, which are believed to account for its long shelf life and resistance to bacteria and fungi. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in June 2007 by D.O Ogbolu found that coconut oil was able to completely inhibit Candida albicans and was active against several strains of other Candida species as well. Coconut oil can be eaten raw or used as a cooking oil.

      Eat garlic. Garlic is one of the most popular folk remedies for whatever ails you, and it can be a powerful friend in the fight against yeast infections as well. In a study published in the journal Fitoterapia in June 2006 by Masoomeh Shams-Ghahfarokh et al., garlic was found to inhibit over 50 different strains of fungi, including 18 strains of Candida albicans. Garlic can also be eaten raw or added to sauces, soups and dips or any other savory dish.
