Candida - Cause, Control, Effect

As Dr. Whiting explains in his video, there are specific causes of Candida, and reasons why it is so difficult to control.

One of the things he focuses on is how probiotics work to fend off the Candida organisms and re-establish order. One of the ways this is done is by competitive exclusion.

The probiotics - also know as "The Good Bugs" - take back the space occupied by "The Bad Bugs", in this case Candida.

Some probiotics such as TruFlora are actually formulated to not only win back the space occupied by Candida organisms, but are also made to "Digest" it. The components of TruFlora (Betaglucanase and Hemicellulase) are specifically made to feed on Candida to help control it and to the best of its ability, eliminate it.

Old, OLD Age

There are reportedly parts of the world, yes the one we live on right now, where people live to 120 years old plus. And it's not that rare so I have read. Is it also possible that these parts of the world are inhabited by people whose math skills are not very strong? I suppose it is.

While this is not a phenomena I have witnessed in person, much of the research I have read leads me to believe these reports are accurate. And why not? The diets of the people in these reports are real, whole foods. High in fiber, low in fat.

The water they drink is referred to as "glacial milk". Runoff from melting glaciers is a milky white, extremely rich in minerals and vital nutrients and, since it has been frozen since well before pollution could be frozen into it, it is extremely pure and free of harmful substances.

While we may not be able to get "glacial milk" for our own to drink, we can supplement our intake of vital nutrients and minerals found within it. There are some purveyors of colloidal minerals such as PurestColloids.com as an example. There is however a complexity of other essential elements and compounds found in glacial milk. There are products on the market whose name actually is "Glacial Milk". I however have not reviewed those products and make no testament as to their effectiveness or strength.

Going back to the first reason that these people live so long is diet and fiber. Diet is a no-brainer, but there are times when it's necessary to supplement your fiber intake. As for fiber supplements, I suggest a premium fiber product like: TruFiber. It is taste free, grit free, clump free and formulated to feed probiotics.

Probiotic well being in the colon is another contributing factor to intestinal health and longevity. Premium probiotic products like Theralac have been clinically proven to maintain regularity and improve bowel movements for those with certain intestinal issues.

While I may not make it to 120 years like some of the world's population, I sure have nothing against trying. And with the help of supplements like the ones above I may just be able to get a little closer than if I took nothing at all.

My Day As My Own Guinea Pig

It's fairly common knowledge around the office here - I am NOT a fan of Mexican food. To clarify, I am not a fan of what most chain, theme and fast food restaurants try to pass off as Mexican food. I do however like an authentic Mexican style meal made in mom and pop restaurants. It's like you're their guest and they fuss to make you top notch meals and treat you like family.

To me, the chains and theme restaurants go out of their way to make what seems literally like the cheapest garbage that can pass for edible, inspectible food wrapped up in the what is also the cheapest garbage that can pass for an edible wrapper, topped with the cheapest barely edible sauces and what they call "cheese". Face it, this stuff is literally garbage. - I WOULDN'T EVEN FEED IT TO MY DOGS because I love them too much to feed them this trash.

BUT, I know from prior "experience" that this stuff will give me a belly ache and gurgling that sounds like a horror movie monster on a rampage, and send me literally RUNNING FOR THE TOILET within an hour of eating it. Sooooo....

Using myself as a test subject, I decided to quite literally put our Enzalase product to the test. I went forth to a local chain restaurant that serves up these nausiating heaps of refuse they call Mexican food (I hate to name names, but it rhymes with "Taco Hell") and ordered a few tacos and something else from the menu called a "Gordita" which I think is Spanish for fat lady. - Seriously, I think that's how it would translate - or at least close to it.

Anyway, I IMMEDIATELY swallowed an Enzalase knowing that if I didn't make some attempt to stop the disaster before it occured I would probably be going home from work early to "change my union suit".

Well, let me just say I AM SO HAPPY I TOOK THAT ENZALASE! I have to admit it didn't stop my suffering completely, but it reduced it greatly. Maybe 2 would have been better, but I figured I'd give it a shot with just one.

Moral of the story: if you eat something that doesn't agree with you - especially if you know it ahead of time - take an Enzalase and you'll worry a whole lot less about it!

Surprising Cause of Lower Back Pain

According to research done by the Wolfe Clinic, (See This Wolfe Clinic Newsletter) one unexpected yet undeniable cause of lower back pain is constipation. An impacted bowel can "fall" and place pressure on the nerves of the spine.

Obvously a high fiber diet can help prevent the impaction that causes back pain, as can excercise and eating foods low in fat. For some though that isn't enough or even practical. our on-the-go lifestyles don't lend themselves readily to eating well or excercising.

TruFiber has no taste, does not clump and is a very advanced form of soluble fiber. Darn affordable too at only 60 cents a serving.
