Signs of candida overgrowth in the body, part 2

Antifungals should be used for a few weeks, then switch to probiotics for a few weeks, repeat this over a period of 3 months. A good antifungal tincture includes olive leaf, black walnut, and pau d’arco. Oil of Oregano can be used separately. Probiotics can be used as a supplement, get the refrigerated kind at your health food store, and follow the directions on the label.

The best probiotic supplement I have found is BioK. It usually comes in a box of 6 more in the refrigerated section of a health food store. It costs a lot more than bottles of capsules and works waaaaaaaaaaaay better. And no, eating yogurt won’t work.

During my distance learning herbalist course, we make formulas for lowering candida in the body. 

When candida levels are lower you can have:

• ·        Clearer thinking & better memory
• 
  
• ·        You can begin to eliminate:

o   Fungal skin problems

o   Vaginal yeast infections

o   Digestive problems: bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation

o   Emotional problems: anxiety, irritability

o   Problems related to allergies: wheezing, sneezing, sinus problems

I have seen candida cleanses work with many people, although I think it is necessary to have the herbs & probiotics on hand & take them several times a year.

Watching what you eat is the key. Sugar feeds candida, and often as you begin to cut out sugars & the candida starts to die, you get cravings for sugar! As we’ll discuss in the herbalist course bitter herbs can help with this for many reasons.

Depending on how bad your candida levels are, and how quickly you want to clear it up, you can get on a candida diet, which basically involves eating foods that do not feed candida. You can still have some success by just taking the herbs & probiotics.

During the herbalist course we discuss how to discover which herbs are best for your body energy, so in this way you will be using the right herbs for your body.

21 day attunement challenge, DAY 9

Well, I have sat down quite a few times with the intention of writing more about these daily attunements. All I can say is that the process transcends words. I have given/received 3 attunements per day for the last 8 days. It has moved so far beyond what I can describe....

All of us taking part are keeping journal records daily of our experiences.

And the support & daily insights during short discussions before attunements have been wonderful. So nice to have a daily spiritual practice & also daily discussion with reiki friends to help find balance & focus in our lives.

I know this will be a lifelong practice for me to do this practice.

That's all I am going to write for now. Possibly in a few days I will be in a space of finding words to describe this experience, or maybe its just not necessary to write it, maybe its just all about experiencing it.

If any of you would like to join in, you can do so at any time.
It can be a daily practice for 21 days $100. It takes about 15 min per day on skype.
Or we can do once a week @ $20 per. Or as often as you feel you'd like to be working with this.

Some aspects of getting yourself healthy that I teach in my herbalist course are: 1. Taking responsibility for your own health. Which is why I TEACH and no longer work with clients. CLIENTS COME TO YOU FOR RELIEF OF SYMPTOMS, STUDENTS COME TO YOU TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE. BECAUSE DRAGONFLY BRINGS TRANSFORMATION, THAT IS MY GOAL, TO EMPOWER YOU TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE, TO BRING ABOUT PHYSICAL HEALING, EMOTIONAL HEALING & SPIRITUAL HEALING, TO OPEN YOU UP TO CLARITY ABOUT YOUR PATH IN LIFE & WHAT YOU WISH TO MANIFEST FOR YOURSELF, .......AND WHAT YOU WISH TO LET GO OF. FOR THIS REASON I NO LONGER WORK WITH CLIENTS OR ANSWER HEALTH QUESTIONS, IF YOU TRULY WANT TO MAKE LASTING CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE I OFFER MANY COURSES TO EMPOWER YOU TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHANGES I know this can actually be quite difficult. But during 8 months of the herbalist course I just teach bits of information to do with taking charge of your own health & as you go along you get really comfortable with changes you want to make & what will suit your constitution. 2. Good nutrition Good nutrition is needed for the basis of getting over any ill health & for PREVENTION is illness. I teach a lot about prevention of illness in first place and about using good nutrition as a base for getting your body healthy. Although you can still continue with bad eating habits & bad lifestyles & have the herbs work to assisting your body, if you truly want to feel great & have good energy, a clear mind & clean body you need to eat well too. If you are continually putting poisons (which many people call their food) into your body you will not have good health. I am 90% raw vegan. I teach not only how to move your diet towards raw & vegan, but also the steps in between, everywhere from letting go of junk food & sugar, meat, to leaning towards being vegetarian, to adding more raw food to your diet. As you begin to take steps towards getting non nutritious foods out of your diet & eating good whole living foods you begin to feel better & begin to crave more nutritious foods. 3. Cleansing the body I also believe  in cleansing the body. I do NOT recommend store bought cleanses. In accelerating the removal of toxins from the body you can move towards better health. You need to cleanse the body in order to get your body working correctly tone & build your body systems. You need to have cleaner bowels & a healthy liver & a properly working digestive system in order to feel well. I do have my Cleansing Workshop available in printed form as a download on my website, and as a class on my herbal forum.

RAW GARLIC BREAD & MAYO

This is SO good. Found a couple recipes online & changed them to suit what I had in the cupboard. I haven't had bread in a few years, but this tastes like bread to me.

BREAD:

• 1 cup raw sunflower seeds 
• 1/2 cup flax seeds
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 dates
• 1/2 tsp. Himalayan salt

Grind this all up in a good processor, I left it a tiny bit coarse.
Then I added some soaked chia seeds, about 1 tbsp. in 1/3 cup water, left it to sit an hour to puff up.

I formed this into a flattened ball with oil on my hands, then rolled it in some sesame seeds & put a little salt on it. Dehydrate for a couple of hours.

I put a raw mayo on top:

In the magic bullet, or something that will grind really fine:

• 1/2 cup raw cashews, grind really fine, then add:
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• a bit of salt

This mayo is really good!

21 Day Reiki Attunement Challenge

I have begun a 21 day reiki attunement challenge with some of my students.  This involves connecting on skype once a day, and I give an attunement. We do this once a day for 21 days.

I on day 2 of doing this with some students, and the attunements are just as strong & effective as they are in person.

I am offering this on an ongoing basis, if anyone else wants to join in, email me at herbs.and.reiki@dragonflyherbals.com

The cost for the 21 days is $100. Payment link is on my website www.dragonflyherbals.com 

I am posting information on how this is going & how the attunements feel as we progress on my forum:

http://dragonflyherbals.proboards.com

Usui used to go on 21 day spiritual retreats for growth & enlightenment, he would spend the time fasting, meditating & chanting.

We don’t all necessarily have the time or place to go for 21 days to do a spiritual growth retreat.

Doing 1 attunement per day can accomplish this by

• ·        Raising your vibrational level daily
• ·        Connecting your to the universal source of energy daily, this connect helps you heal & intensifies your abilities to heal yourself, and others, and intensifies your ability to be in a space of manifesting what you desire in your life while letting go of what needs to be let go of
• ·        Daily attunements clear & heal your energy fields & chakras
