Hello, Hello..!!!!! Today I want to share with you a personal experience that changed my life and my perspective on health: my struggle with candidiasis.
A few years ago, I found myself dealing with constant fatigue, inflammation, excessive vaginal discharge, itching, burning and, most surprisingly, foot fungus. These symptoms, while troubling, didn't seem to be connected, so I had no idea what was going on in my body.
I decided to seek help, at the time I was studying in Clearwater, Florida, and went to a chiropractor. After an exam and a detailed discussion of my symptoms, he diagnosed me with candidiasis, a fungal infection that can affect various parts of the body. The doctor explained that I needed to balance the Candida levels in my body to regain my health. When I heard the diagnosis I confess that I broke down and was even confused.
This meant a radical change in my diet: wheat flours, sugars, fruits, dairy and cheeses were eliminated. Fortunately, I was still able to eat many other foods, including corn and rice flour at a time when there was not as much food information about genetically modified foods (GMO), gluten, etc.
In addition to diet, my doctor recommended a number of adaptogenic plants and supplements. These included Cat's Claw, Palo de Arco, Golden Seal and Echinacea, as well as probiotics and plant enzymes. This combination of dietary changes and natural supplements was intended to help my body fight the candidiasis and restore my health. I confess, that at first I thought I would starve to death. But I was determined to get healthy again, so I made the decision to self-educate myself on recipes that only included what I could eat and change my life. It was one of the first processes I went through with discipline, and although it was a challenge, I'm glad I did it.
Over time, my body began to respond to the new regimen. Symptoms began to subside and, little by little, I regained my energy and my health. It was a long and sometimes difficult journey, but it was also an incredibly valuable learning experience for my health and to realize that with these natural solutions I eliminated the candida imbalance in my body.
I want to remind everyone that if you are dealing with candidiasis, you should not despair, feel sorry or frustrated. Candida is a fungus that lives naturally in our bodies, and while it is not normal for it to multiply to the point of causing an infection, it is also not abnormal for it to happen at some point in our lives. Facing a yeast infection problem can be a challenge, but it is not a reflection of who we are or something to be ashamed of. On the contrary, it is simply an obstacle in our path to health and wellness, and with the right approach and treatment, it is an obstacle we can overcome.
My experience with candidiasis taught me the importance of listening to my body and proactively taking care of my health. It made me realize that what we eat has a direct impact on our health and well-being. And, most importantly, it reminded me that we are capable of making significant changes in our lives when we are motivated and willing to learn. I hope that by sharing my story, I can encourage you to pay attention to your health and seek help when needed. Remember, you are not alone in your journey to health and wellness.
Always decide for your health, bye, bye, bye.
