Volatile oils from oregano, thyme, peppermint, tea tree, and rosemary have all
demonstrated antifungal action in test tube studies.21 A recent study compared the anti Candida effect of oregano oil to that of caprylic acid.22 The results indicated that
oregano oil is over 100 times more potent than caprylic acid, against Candida. Since the
volatile oils are quickly absorbed and associated with inducing heartburn, they must be
taken in coated capsules, so they do not break down in the stomach but instead are
delivered to the small and large intestine. This process is known as “enteric coating.”
Some doctors recomm end using 0.2 to 0.4 ml of enteric -coated peppermint and/or
oregano oil supplements three times per day 20 minutes before meals. However, none of
these volatile oils has been studied for their anti -Candida effect in humans.

For what is Echinacea used?
Traditionally used as a broad-spectrum immune system stimulant in the cold and flu
season and in the treatment of chronic recurring vaginal yeast infections.
What's in Echinacea and how does it work?
The ability of Echinacea to stimulate the immune system is extremely well documented.
The primary constituent responsible for its activity are large sugar molecules called
polysaccharides. Two in particular have been identified as beneficial: inulin and
arabinogalactin. These polysaccharides activate the immune system in so many ways
that a thorough discussion of them would quickly lose the reader in a sea of medical
terms. For example, Echinacea has been shown to increase production of T cells,
increase levels of circulating neutrophils, improve leukocyte phagocytosis, assist
antibody binding and natural killer cell activity. It also has direct antibacterial properties.
In general, Echinacea has been thoroughly demonstrated to reduce the duration and
severity of common cold and flu symptoms. This is an herb that deserves a space in
your medicine cabinet.1,2,8,9
How should I use Echinacea?
One recent study3 showed that a daily intake of 450mg had no value over that of a
placebo, but 900mg daily was quite effective in sta ving off cold and flu symptoms. This
being the case, it is recommended that 1g (1000mg) be taken 3 times daily at the onset
of cold or flu symptoms. It works wonders in combination with Goldenseal and Zinc
lozenges, particularly at the onset of symptoms.
Echinacea can help relieve Candidiasis!
We know of at least two studies that have shown Echinacea to be effective in helping
women with chronic vaginal yeast infection. This is not all that surprising when taken in
light of the fact that recurrence of Cand ida albicans infection takes place in just over
60% of sufferers treated with econozole nitrate alone,5 implying that the underlying
cause (i.e., poor immune response) is not treated with such topical medicines.4
Combined use of Echinacea and econozole nit rate lowered the incidence of recurrence
to under 17%!5 According to another study,11 Echinacea increased phagocytosis
(phagocytosis is the process whereby immune cells consume and destroy foreign
infectious cells) of Candida albicans by a whopping 30 to 4 0%.
What Is Goldenseal?
The root of Hydrastis canadensis.
For W hat Is Goldenseal Used?
Famous for use against sore throat and Strep throat3
Effective against bladder infections3
Effective against protozoa, bacteria, and fungi, including Candida albica ns3
How Does Goldenseal Work?
It is the alkaloid berberine that is responsible for Goldenseal's effectiveness against
bacteria, protozoa, and fungi. Goldenseal contains an alkaloid called berberine that is
antibiotic against Streptococci and also prevents the attachment of Streptococci to the
throat. Berberine is also antifungal (works well against Candida albicans, especially
when used in combination with Echinacea) and strongly anti -diarrheal. It works wonders
in combination with Echinacea and Zinc lozen ges, particularly at the onset of symptoms.
Goldenseal, Echinacea and Zinc lozenges should be in every medicine
cabinet!1,2,3,4,5,6
How Much Goldenseal Should I Supplement?
As a dietary supplement, 500mg of Golden Seal is used 2 -3 times daily; higher amounts
are used at the onset of symptoms of the above conditions, as both Echinacea and
Goldenseal will inhibit the effectiveness of hyaluronidase, an enzyme secreted by
microbes to dissolve mucous membranes and thusly gain entry into your body.
Are There Any Side Effects W ith Goldenseal?
Goldenseal contains berberine, a mild oxytocic (stimulates contractions of the uterus)
and should not be used by pregnant women. Otherwise there are none.

Antifungal Fatty Acids and Essential Oils
Fatty acids have been known and used for centuries as antimicrobial agents, originally in
the manufacture of soaps. In the last 50 years, however, they have found use both in
vitro as yeast and mold inhibitors in food stuffs, and as topical, intestinal, an d systemic
antifungals. In recent years, both caprylic acid and undecylenic acid have been used to
treat GIC. Undecylenic acid (10-undecenoic acid) is an eleven-carbon, monounsaturated fatty acid, C11H20O2. A substance found in the body (naturally occurri ng in
sweat), undecylenic acid is produced commercially by the vacuum distillation of castor
bean oil, as a result of the pyrolysis of ricinoleic acid. It has been used orally in humans
as an unsuccessful treatment for psoriasis and neurodermatitis ( 神經性皮炎),35-37 and
as an economical antifungal agent,38 as well as being commonly used as a topical
antifungal in such over-the-counter products as Desenex®. Undecylenic acid has very
low toxicity. In humans, as much as 20 grams per day has been taken orally with only
mild gastrointestinal symptoms,36 and up to 400 mg/kg/day has been given orally to rats
for 6-9 months, with no toxicity being noted.39 Caprylic acid, although present in small
quantities in coconut oil, can be produced commercially from the oxidation (n.氧化) of
octanol.40 Classified by some authors as an hepatic (a. 肝髒的;治肝病的;肝髒色的) failure
toxin when used intravenously,41 caprylic acid (C8H16O2), is a direct isomer (n. 異構體)
of the anticonvulsant (抗驚厥劑) valproic acid. Most organic fatty acids are fungicida l. As
early as 1945, W yss et al demonstrated that the greater the number of carbon atoms in
the fatty acid chain, the greater the fungicidal activity, up to the point exceeding eleven
carbons where solubility becomes the limiting factor.42 In 1954, Neuhaus er evaluated
both undecylenic and caprylic acids in vitro against C. albicans, and concluded caprylic
acid was more effective.38 However, she used a questionable method of applying the
fatty acids which may have rendered the results inaccurate. The pH of t he test
environment is critical to accurate in vitro testing of antifungal agents. Peck (n. 啄痕;啄食;
許多
vt.以喙啄;啄食;扔 vi.啄;吹毛求疵;啄食;扔石頭) and Rosenfeld had earlier demonstrated an
acid environment alone (pH less than 5.8) is sufficient to inhibit fungal growth in several
species, including C. albicans.43 Therefore, great care must be exercised so that pH is
accurately controlled, to reflect only the antifungal effect of the substance tested, and
not just its hydrogen ion (pH) effect. Neuhauser tested undecylenic an d caprylic acids by
adding C. albicans culture to Sabourand's agar (n. 海菜;紫菜;石花菜;細菌培養基) media,
adjusting the pH to either 5.6 or 7.5, and then pouring the broth (n. 肉湯) into petri dishes
and allowing it to cool. The plates were then dusted with the fatty aci d (in a resin matrix)
being tested, incubated, and evaluated.38 This method does not control pH at the
interface between the fatty acid and the C. albicans organisms. Since both fatty acids
have an intrinsically (ad.本質上;真正的) low pH, it can be assumed the r esultant pH at the
actual point of contact between the fatty acid and the C. albicans in Neuhauser's study
was actually lower than reported. Peck and Rosenfeld circumvented this problem by
mixing the fatty acid being tested into the Sabourand's media prior to adjusting the pH,
so the test conditions could be more precisely controlled. Their study showed
undecylenic acid was approximately six times more effective as an antifungal than
caprylic acid,43 a finding which is consistent with the research of W yss e t al.42
Essential oils of various plants also have been shown to be antifungal, including thyme,
cloves, cinnamon, and oregano.44 A recent in vitro evaluation of essential oil of oregano
(Oreganum vulgare) showed the minimum inhibitory concentration agains t C. albicans to

The antibacterial activities of three commercial disinfectants: Dettol, Robert and Savlon
against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella
typhi, Klebsiella spp. and Bacillus spp. were investigated. The mini mum inhibitory
concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined
using the well technique of media diffusion method. The highest MIC of 1:10 against
Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Roberts and the lowest MIC of 1:60 by Savlon again st
Staphylococcus aureus were observed. The highest minimum bactericidal concentration
(MBC) of 1:10 against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was by Robert. All
test organisms were susceptible to various dilution of Savlon used.

Candidiasis:
A Common and Serious Health Threat
Chip Engelmann
Some of the most common problems people bring to me?W hat can I do for more energy?
I've tried everything and just can't seem to loose weight; I have been having headaches,
gas, insomnia, or bloating; have constipation or diarrhea, often alternating; don't feel like
having sex; can't focus my attention; crave sug ar, carbohydrates, alcohol; I have
candida overgrowth.
Typically, Candida albicans is a symbiotic yeast living in the intestinal tract. Its job is to
recognize and destroy harmful bacteria. However, if systems become imbalanced,
candida can grow out of control, a state called candidiasis. Systems can become
unbalanced when there is a shock to the body's intestinal immune systems, particularly
when the body's friendly flora is destroyed by such means as repeated use of antibiotics;
birth control pills or steroids; a diet that is high in sugars, carbohydrates, or alcohol; or a
lifestyle that is short on rest. Candidiasis is a very common and serious health threat.
There are estimates that up to 90% of Americans have candidiasis.
In the state of candidiasis, Candida albicans shifts from the yeast to the mycelial (a. 菌
絲) fungal form and starts to invade the body. It forms very long, root -like structures
called rhizoids (n.假根 a.根狀的) that can penetrate the intestinal walls, allowing toxins to
enter the bloodstream and creating what is known as leaky gut syndrome. The symptoms
of systemic candida overgrowth are: muscle aches, sore/stiff joints, fatigue, problems
with particular organs, recurrent urinary tract infections, and serious illnesses (asthma,
ADHD, diabetes, MS, arthritis (n.關節炎), CFS, fibromyalgia).
In extreme cases, candidiasis can be fatal. W hen candida gets behind the intestinal
walls, it can enter other major orga ns like the lungs, kidneys and brain. Once in the
brain, candidiasis is very difficult to recover from. A severe form of candidiasis involving
Candida septicemia (n.敗血癥) causes an extreme compromise of the immune system
that can result in fatal blood poiso ning. Fortunately, most people don't die directly from
candidiasis. But unfortunately, if the immune system is heavily compromised by candida,
the door is open to other diseases that may be fatal.
Linda Page, author of Healthy Healing, breaks Candida albi cans overgrowth into clearly
defined stages (quoted from 11th ed., p. C342):
1st symptoms: Bowel and bladder irritation; heartburn; chronic indigestion with gas and
bloating; recurring cystitis (n.膀胱炎) or vaginitis (陰道炎); chronic fungal skin rashes and
nail infections.
2nd symptoms: Allergy-immune reactions--chronic bronchitis (n.支氣管炎); hives (n.麻疹;
假膜性喉頭炎), sinusitis n.竇炎; eczema; hayfever, acne; chronic headaches or migraine
n.偏頭痛; muscle pain; earaches; sensitivity to odors.
3rd symptoms: Central nervo
feeling and nighttime panic attacks; memory lapses(n. 過失;流逝;失效 vi.犯錯;墮落;退步;消
失;流逝 vt.使失效) and inability to concentrate; chronic fatigue and lethargy (n. 昏睡;瞌睡;
無力氣), often followed by acute depress ion.
4th symptoms: Gland (n. 腺;分泌腺) and organ dysfunctions (n.機能不良;機能障礙):
hypothyroidism (n.甲狀腺機能不全); adrenal (a.腎上腺的
n.腎上腺) failure, hypoglycemia (低血糖), ovarian (a.子房的;卵巢的) problems, frigidity (n.
寒冷;冷淡;無氣力) and male impotence (n.無力;虛弱;無效;陽萎); lack of sex drive.
Dr. Stephen Cooter, in his book, Beating Chronic Disease, states, "Candida is
responsible for flooding the system with an accumulation of toxic acetaldehydes ( 乙醛;
醋醛). Acetaldehydes are known to poison tissues --accumulating in the brain, spinal (a.
針的;尖刺的;尖刺狀突起的;脊骨的) cord (n.細繩;粗線), joints, muscles and tissues." (Have
you ever woken up with a "hangover" when you had not been drinking? We know
acetaldehyde from its effects as a product in the body's metabolism of alcohol.)
Candida overgrowth can be d ifficult to control. First you must kill the candida. This can
be done with a number of different supplements or drugs. It is better if you can take five
to six different anti-fungal agents in rotation, as candida is very adaptable and can adapt
to most anti-fungal agents by mutation.
Second, you must stop doing the things that caused the imbalance in the first place.
That means stop eating yeasted breads, sugars, beer, wine, starchy foods, over processed and refined foods. If you kill most of the candida but continue to feed the rest,
you will be out of balance again very soon. For the first 6 weeks (again quoting Linda
Page), you must avoid "sugar or sweeteners of any kind, gluten bread and yeasted
baked goods, dairy products (except kefir or kefir cheese , [plain] yogurt or yogurt
cheese), smoke dried or candied fruits, coffee, black tea, carbonated drinks, alcohol, or
foods containing vinegar." You should avoid antibiotics, steroids, birth control pills and
tobacco. Note: Tap water should also be avoided. Chlorinated water kills harmful
bacteria in our water, but also kills the friendly flora in our intestines. Friendly flora such
as acidophilus are needed by our immune system and are partially responsible for
maintaining candida balance.
Third, you must remove the dead candida. These can be eliminated by supplementing
with soluble fibers or bentonite. If you do not clear space for friendly flora to populate,
the candida will return to occupy that space. Fourth, you must rebuild: replenish the
friendly bacteria, such as acidophilus, and strengthen the damaged organs, especially
the liver. (Milk thistle is a good liver supporting herb.) Finally, you must re -strengthen
the immune system.
People undergoing treatment for candida often experience what is called the Herxheimer
or "die off" effect. W hen a large amount of candida cells are killed, more toxins are
released than your body can manage. These toxins may create uncomfortable
symptoms, including (but not limited to) flu symptoms (stuffiness, headache, gen eral
aches, diarrhea), skin rashes, vaginal irritation/discharge, or even something unusual
such as numbness in the legs or mental confusion. This period generally lasts from one
day to a week. You have the choice of toughing it out or reducing the dosages of the
anti-fungal agent. The symptoms disappear as soon as sufficient candida has been
removed from your digestive system.
To win the battle over candidiasis, you must continue the treatment for 3 to 6 months, or
even a year in some cases. Otherwise it is likely that the candida will reestablish itself. A
general rule is that it takes one month of treatment for every year that the candida has
been out of control.

Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal
health benefit.
An herb is primarily supported by traditional use, or the herb or supplement has little
scientific support and/or minimal health benefit.
Traditional Use
Throughout history, rosemary was used to preserve meats.1 It has long played a role in
European herbalism (n.草藥醫術學) and popular folklore (n.民俗學;民間風俗;民間傳說).
Sprigs of rosemary were considered a love charm, a sign of remembrance, and a way to
ward off (擋開;架開;避開;防止…) the plague (n.瘟疫;麻煩;災禍 vt.折磨;使苦惱;使得災禍).
Rosemary was used by herbalists (n. 草藥醫生) as a tonic (n.補藥;(音樂)主調音或基音
a.滋補的;聲調的;使精神振作的) for the elderly and to help with indigestion.2 In ancient
China, rosemary was used for headaches and topically for baldness.3
Active Constituents
A number of constituents have shown activity in the test tube. The volatil e oil, including
eucalyptol 桉樹腦 (cineole) 桉油醇, is considered to have potent antibacterial effects4
and to relax smooth muscles in the lungs.5 Rosmarinic acid has antioxidant activity6 and
another ingredient of rosemary, known as carnosol, inhibits cancer formation in animal
studies.7 No human studies have confirmed rosemary's use for these conditions.
Dosage
The German Commission E monograph n.專題論文;專著;專刊 vt.寫專題論文 suggests 3/4
to 1-1/4 tsp (4 to 6 grams) of rosemary leaf per day.8 A tea can be prepared by adding 2
teaspoons (10 grams) of herb to 1 cup (250 ml) boiling water and allowing it to steep in a
covered container for 10 to 15 minutes. This tea can be taken several times per day.
Rosemary tincture, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2 to 5 ml) three times per day, may also be used.
The concentrated volatile oil should not be taken internally.
Side Effects
There is no evidence to indicate that intermittent (a. 間歇的;斷斷續續的) intake of
moderate amounts of rosemary poses any threat during breast -feeding. However,
internal intake of the herb and oil should be avoided during pregnancy because the oil
may act as an abortifacient a.促使流產的 (an agent that may induce an abortion).9
An extract of rosemary taken with a meal by healthy women inhibited the absorption of
non-heme 亞鐵血紅素; 亞鐵原 iron (e.g., the form of iron in plant foods) by 15%.10
Frequent use of rosemary could, in theory, promote the development of iron deficiency in
susceptible individuals.
At the time of writing, there were no well -known drug interactions with rosemar y.

Some Complementary Cures for Candidiasis
Candidiasis is an infection that is caused by a yeast -like fungus called candida. Its
growth is promoted by a warm, moist environment. Candidiasis may affect the mouth,
skin, stomach, vagina (n.鞘;陰道;葉鞘???), and urinary tract and commonly shows up as
conditions such as diaper rash, vaginitis, and dermatitis. W hile candida is normally
found in the mouth, skin, intestinal tract, and vagina and does not cause infections, a
buildup of candida will lead to an infection. This buildup may result from taking certain
drugs (antibiotics are a known culprit), pregnancy, being overweight, or certain health
conditions, like immune disorders and diabetes. Candidiasis is fairly common, especially
among women: 75 percent will get vaginal candidiasis at some point in their lifetime. The
good news is that there are complementary therapies that promote healing and are sa fe
to try alongside conventional antifungal medications.
Nutrition is at the top of the list. The "candida diet" consists of a dramatic reduction or
complete elimination of alcohol, simple sugars, and refined foods. Other nutritional
therapies include the following:
Take vitamin C (500 to 1,000 mg per day), vitamin E (200 to 400 IU per day), and
selenium (200 mcg per day) to reduce inflammation.
Incorporate essential fatty acids into your diet to reduce inflammation. Try a mix of
omega-3 (found in evening primrose) and omega-6 (found in flaxseed) fatty acids -2
tablespoons of oil a day or 1,000 to 1,500 mg in capsule form twice a day. You can also
increase your intake of essential fatty acids by reducing your consumption of animal fats
and increasing your intake of fish and nuts.
Avoid simple carbohydrates, including fruit juice, yeast, and fermented foods; limit your
fruit intake to one serving per day.
Increase your consumption of antifungal spices such as garlic, oregano (what is
oregano?), cinnamon, sage, and cloves.
Take calcium (1,000 to 1,500 mg a day). Studies have shown that people with yeast
infections often also have a calcium deficiency. You may want to add magnesium (750 to
1,000 mg per day) as well to balance your calcium intake.
Herbal remedies may also be effective against candidiasis. Herbs can be taken as dried
extracts (capsules, powders, teas), or tinctures n. 顏色;色調;染料;氣息;特徵;氣味vt.染;使有
氣息;使充滿 (alcohol extracts), or applied topically. Unless otherwise indicated, teas
should be made with 1 teaspoon herb per cup of hot water. Steep covered 5 to 10
minutes for leaf or flowers, and 10 to 20 minutes for roots. Drink 2 to 4 cups per day.
Tinctures are preparations made from alcohol (or water and alcohol), containing an herb
strength of 1 part herb to 5 parts solvent or 1 part herb to 10 parts solvent.
Pau d'arco bark is an antifungal. Take as a tea (use 2 tablespoons herb boiled in one
quart of water; drink 3 to 6 cups per day).
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), Oregon grape root (Mahonia ne rvosa), and barberry
(Berberis vulgaris) aid digestion and improve immune system functioning. Chamomile
(Matricaria recicuta) and licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) are anti -inflammatory. Combine all
into a tea or tincture (1 cup of tea three times a day or 30 to 60 drops of tincture three
times daily) and take for six weeks. Note: do not take licorice if you have high blood
pressure.
Tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) or lavender essential oil (Lavendula species) can be
applied topically two to three times a day.
Fireweek (Epilobium parviflorum) can be taken as a tea to treat oral, vaginal, and
intestinal candidiasis.
Marigold (Calendula officinalis) can be mixed into a salve (such as petroleum jelly) and
applied three to five times a day for skin rashes.
Most occurrences of candidiasis will respond to treatment within a few days. Be sure to
talk with your physician or pharmacist to best determine which herbal or nutritional
supplements are for you. Some supplements should not be taken if you have certain
medical conditions or are taking particular prescription medications.

400ml alcohol. Tinctures store very well.
Used for treating Diarrhoea, Nausea and Vomiting, Gastroenteritis, Colds and Influenza,
Hypertension, Arthritis, Rheumatism, and Candidiasis
Oil
Culinary Oils are oils infused with the herb. Four methods are available to make Culinary
Oils. 1) heat 250g dried or 750g fr esh herb in 500ml of oil in a bowl over boiling water
for 2-3 hours. 2) fill a jar with fresh herbs, top it up with oil, cover and leave for 2 -3
weeks. Renew the herb for another 2 -3 weeks to increase the concentration (best for
flowers). 3) add 25-50 drops of the "essential oils of the herb" into 100ml of Oil for
immediate use. 4) essential oils are obtained by evaporation of the herb in a stoppered
glass container left in the sun for several days.
Used for culinary purposes

Skin - Case study - Eczema
by Hedley, Christopher
Medical Herbalism 01-31-95 6(4): 8-9
Patient: a woman of 49, a journalist and herb student. She is thin and of slight build, dry
and cold. Her eczema starts every spring and get s worse over the summer; over neck,
shoulders and back, very inflamed looking and can be weeping. Easily infected.
Responds best to Oak bark tincture as a wash. Had the problem from the age of 2. Used
cortisone creams for 32 years
General health: prone to constipation, tension headaches, tension backaches and nasal
catarrh. History of candidiasis and allergies. Cycle irregular recently, bleeding light.
Allergies and sensitivities: Sugar makes her tense and grumpy, oils give her headaches,
dairy products and city air aggravate her catarrh, whole wheat upsets her digestive
system. Eczema is not directly related to allergies or constipation.
On examination: general gut tension, ileo -caecal valve knotted.
Medication: B complex, C, zinc, multi -mineral supplement and evening primrose oil.
Yellow dock, burdock and other herbal teas as needed.
Diet: Good, mostly fish and vegetables, no milk products or added sugar. Drinks 1 or 2
coffees, 1 or 2 teas and lots of fizzy water daily.
Exercise: walks a lot.
Comments: she is very aware of health issues and doing well in general, but needs help
to get to the bottom of her skin trouble.
Strategy: cleanse and support liver, strengthen blood, deep warming, relaxing and
dampening.
Herbs:
1.Dandelion root (Taraxacum off.) decoction, 2 cups a day for 6 months.
2. A tincture of equal parts of Angelica (A. archangelica), Nettles n. 蕁麻 vt.以蕁麻刺;激怒
(Urtica dioica), Ephedra 麻黃 (Ephedra sinica) and Vervain n.馬鞭草屬的植物 (Verbena
officinalis). Take 5ml 3x daily, with water.
3. Neutral cream (water, emulsifying wax and vege table oil)
4. Marshmallow n.藥屬葵;藥屬葵蜜餞 (Althea n.蜀癸屬植物 off) leaf tea, 2 or 3 cups daily.

The tincture was to help her get the symptoms trader control q uickly, hence the
Ephedra. Nettles work well for ‘nervous eczema’ and Vervain is my favorite remedy for
relaxing ‘liverish’a.肝病的;壞脾氣的 people. She was worried about the alcohol, because
of history of candidiasis. The neutral cream was for her to use as a b ase and experiment
with. This empowered her to take charge of their own health.
Progress: treatment continued for four weeks, at which time the rash had gone and her
bowels were more regular.
Treatment
Advised to continue the Dandelion root and Marsh mallow leaf.
Gave her a tea of Nettle, Vervain n. 馬鞭草屬的植物 and Rosemary (Rosmarinus off.), for
use as required. To keep the tincture against future need.
She was OK for the rest of that summer.
The next summer was very hot. She sent me a letter, saying that she ‘was fully
expecting to have to see me, but had not had a summer rash at all!’. The rosemary had
made her feel very hot, so she had changed it for red sage (Salvia off.). She had also
added ladies mantle (Alchemilla mollis) when she started to ge t menopausal flushes. Her
irritability and all her sensitivities had diminished markedly due, I feel, to the dandelion
root; her skin was much less dry due, I believe, to the marshmallow leaf.
She had to use the tincture for a couple of weeks when she ha d stayed in a house heavy
with moth balls, which she thought had set off a dry, itchy rash.
Comments
I sent this in because it is a nice example of the effective action of simple remedies on
chronic conditions, when taken for long enough.
Editor’s comment:
We usually think of marshmallow only as a demulcent a.緩和的;鎮痛的 n.緩和劑;鎮痛劑,
and it is frequently added to formulas to treat acute dryness and/or inflammation of the
respiratory, digestive, or urinary tracts. Here we have it used long -term as a nourishing
constitutional remedy, for a patient who is dry and deficient. It is used here the way
Chinese Yin tonic herbs are used. Michael Tierra (Planetary Herbology) recommends its
use in this manner way for wasting and thirsting diseases such as tuberculos is n.肺結核
and diabetes.
We can also erroneously think of dandelion as a “mild” herb, forgetting that a mild herb,
taken for a long time, may be a much more powerful healing agent than a strong herb
taken for a short time.

Candidiasis
The Debate on Candida
The clinical significance of intestinal yeast infection with Candida albicans (Candidiasis)
may very well be one of the most controversial and divisive topics in medicine. The
possibility that this condition is the cause of a wide variety of symptoms is usually a
consideration by virtually all naturopathic 自然醫術的 and alternative practitioners. Yet,
mainstream medical doctors often scoff at the notion, and ridicule and deride those
practitioners who place some credence n. 信用;祭器台;供桌;憑證 in it. How can we decide
who is right?
To begin with, it is clear from the scientific medical literature that Candida does cause a
variety of infections in humans. In people with normal immune systems (what we call
immunocompetent ) this can take the form of vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush and
infectious diarrhea. In individuals with somewhat deficient immune systems (what we call
immunocompromised) the infections can be in the blood, lungs and virtually anywhere.
In order to try and establish whether Candidiasis could be a cause of intestinal
disorders, we would then have to show that 1. Candida is harbored in the intestine 2. It
can cause symptoms 3. Eradication n. 連根拔除;根絕 of Candida leads to resolution of the
symptoms.
Is Candida Present in the Intestines?
Do we know that Candida is harbored in the intestines? Yes, we do. Analysis of fecal a.
排泄物的;渣滓的 flora (the bacteria and other microscopic organisms present in feces
n.pl.糞;屎) reveals that Candida can be present in the intestine. In fact, if you ask most
gynecologists where women get vaginal yeast infections from, they would acknowledge
that the reservoir is the colon, and that ce rtain conditions lead to the infection of the
vagina (more on what causes Candida to grow later).
What Symptoms are caused by Candida?
Does it cause symptoms? Yes, it does. As I alluded v. 暗指;間接提到 to, there are studies
showing clearly that Candida can be the cause of acute and chronic diarrhea, and that
treatment that results in eradication of the organism clears the symptoms. The sticking
point comes when you try and ascribe vt. 歸因於;歸咎於 an entire symptom complex to the
presence of intestinal Candidiasis. S ome practitioners who treat Candida have ascribed
up to 100 symptoms to this organism, including:
Diarrhea
Constipation
Abdominal distention, bloating or pain
Gas or flatulence n.胃氣脹;空虛;虛張
Rectal a.直腸的 itching or rash
Heartburn
Indigestion
Belching 噯氣
Intestinal gas
Muscle aches
Muscle pains
Flu-like symptoms
Hair loss
Itching ears
Acne
Hives n.麻疹;假膜性喉頭炎
Rashes
Itching skin
Eczema
Psoriasis
Loss of sex drive
Impotence
Fatigue
Feeling drained
Memory loss
Feeling spaced out
Intolerance of perfumes, odors, fumes, fabric shop odors and tobacco smoke
Complaints that worsen in damp, muggy a. 悶熱的 or moldy places
How can Candida cause all those Symptoms?
How can an organism in the intestine lead to such a variety of symptoms? I t would have
to elaborate a variety of mediators with systemic effects. These chemical mediators,
commonly referred to as toxins, could in part cause some of these effects. A recent
study in the journal Infectious Immunology has shown that Candida has the ability to
stimulate the product of inflammatory chemical mediators such as Interleukin( 白細胞間介
素)-10 and Tumor Necrosis (n.壞疽;脫疽;骨疽) Factor (TNF) in human T cells (white blood
cells). A separate study in the same journal corroborated the increase in TNF and also
described the elaboration of 2 other inflammatory chemicals, Interleukin -8 and vascular
a.脈管的;有脈管的;血管的 cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1). The latter plays a role in
the response of the lining of the blood vessels to Candida. Finally, a 1999 study from the
Journal of Urology n.泌尿器學;泌尿科學 showed that in patients with persistent Candida
infections in the urine, 41% had Candida detected in the bloodstream that could only be
detected by the use of a specialized test that picks up the presence of gene that
produces a specific Candida protein. Additionally, a significant number of these patients
had alteration of the normal immune response.
From this evidence, I think we have to conclude that Candida does stimulate the body to
elaborate chemicals that can cause systemic reactions, that it can adversely affect the
immune system response, that it can invade the bloodstream, and that it can be
exceedingly difficult to detect. It would therefore seem reasonable to assume that
Candida does possess the means to cause systemic symptoms.
Does Candida Treatment work?
Does treatment of Candidiasis cause resolution of symptoms? Clearly for the obvious
infections, it does. For example, in people with Candida -induced a.感應的
vbl.感應 diarrhea, treating this causes the diarrhea to go away. Our difficulty in
convincing the general medical community about the pervasiveness 普遍的;蔓延的;滲透的
of Candidiasis is manifested by the lack of clinical studies of treating patients with the
above symptom complex and comparing their response to plac ebo n.為死者所誦的晚禱
歌;寬心劑;安慰 (inactive pill). Many doctors base their treatment only on the results of
placebo-controlled trials, and there is value in this. However, if people have symptoms of
Candida and you treat them and they get better, are you not adding to the evidence that
this condition exists? Anecdotal a. 逸話的;多逸事趣聞的;軼事一樣的 evidence may not be
definitive, but it should be considered. I would also challenge the medical community to
consider this: If a simple and safe treatment regimen n. 攝生;養生法;食物療法 for a
particular condition alleviates vt. 減輕;使緩和 symptoms and the person becomes well,
isn't that what medicine is all about?
One woman's story
Let me preface the story with some comments. I am convinced that this is a real
problem. I have treated many people i n my practice with a combination of conventional
and complementary therapy, and have seen dramatic results. I have also seen people
who have been treated by others, and their stories are equally dramatic. So when Jane
(not her real name) came to me, I had an open mind. She had symptoms of severe
intestinal bloating, cramping, alternating diarrhea and constipation, and
gastroesophageal reflux n.逆流;退潮. She carried a diagnosis of hypoglycemia 低血糖,
and craved carbohydrates. She felt fatigued, weak, had gained a lot of weight, and could
barely keep up with her responsibilities as a wife and mother, let alone with her job. In
fact, she could barely drag herself out of bed in the morning, and was out of work on
disability. She came to me on some medication to contr ol her symptoms, and we did a
thorough evaluation. At our first visit, I adjusted her medications a bit, getting her on
maximal therapy for what most doctors would diagnose as Irritable Bowel Syndrome and
Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD). W hen I saw her back in two weeks, she was worse,
and she was distraught a.煩惱的;心痛的;發狂的. Then I asked Jane if she had an open
mind to try an intensive treatment program for intestinal Candidiasis, which I suspected
that she had. She was desperate, basically saying that she wou ld try anything, and was
willing to try treating the presumed Candida. Now you may ask why I didn't test her for
the presence of Candida in the stool. The answer is twofold: 1. Most labs don't know
how to detect Candida and 2. The labs that can test for it charge $400 and it is not
covered by insurance. I explained to her the rationale, instructed her to be religious with
a low carbohydrate diet, and started her on combination conventional and complimentary
therapy.
After about one month, she began to feel better. She had lost about 10 pounds, had
fewer bowel symptoms, and a bit more energy. With each passing month, she noted a
slow and gradual improvement. She started to slowly taper her conventional medicine.
She continued to lose weight. She got her ener gy back. After 6 months, her bowel
symptoms had virtually disappeared, her reflux was dramatically better, her fatigue had
vanished, her mood had improved and she went back to work. W hen she walked into her
workplace, they couldn't believe the new woman th at stood before them. Smiling,
energetic, and 70 pounds lighter! She looked fantastic, and they told her so. And when
she rechecked her cholesterol, her total cholesterol had dropped approximately 60
points, her HDL (good) cholesterol had increased substan tially and her LDL (bad) had
dropped. This decreased her risk ratio for cardiac n.強心劑;強胃劑 a.心髒的;(胃的)賁門的
disease. Now certainly the low carb diet probably had a lot to do with the weight loss
and cholesterol, but Jane and I remain firmly convinced that most of her symptoms were
alleviated because we both kept an open mind and treated her for Candidiasis.
What are the risk factors for Candidiasis?
Candida is present in the intestinal tract of virtually all people, but not everyone has
infection with Candida. The development of an infection and the symptoms of
Candidiasis is caused by the alteration of the normal relationship of the bowel flora such
that the healthy bacteria in your colon are overgrown by the unhealthy, symptom -causing
Candida organisms. Some contributing factors to this alteration of bowel flora include:
Antiobiotics. Although life saving, they do have side effects. Repeated courses or long term use of antibiotics can kill off the good bacteria, allowing Candida to flourish.
Diabetes. Candida loves glucose (a basic sugar molecule which is the end product of
most carbohydrate digestion). People with diabetes have elevated serum glucose levels,
and this can predispose to Candidiasis.
Elevated levels of glucocorticoids 糖皮質激素. Cortisol, a natural glucocorticoid is
elaborated when the body is under stress. Any condition that causes an elevation, or the
administration of exogenous a.外生的 glucocorticoids such as Prednisone 強的松; 脫氫可
的松; 潑尼松, can allow Candida to flourish. The effect is twofold: depres sion of the
immune system and elevation of blood sugar.
Oral contraceptives a.避孕的 n.避孕劑;避孕用具 and replacement estrogen n.雌激素.
Studies in the past have shown that hormones can affect intestinal bacteria.
Alcohol. This may be a direct effect of alcohol on t he friendly bacteria in the gut.
Additionally, the sugars contained in alcoholic beverage may help feed the Candida,
causing excess growth.
Immune deficiency. Immune deficient states such as cancer and AIDS are very clearly
associated with Candidiasis.
Other less clear causes include hypothryoidism, intestinal parasites n. 寄生蟲;食客, tap
water consumption and excessive bowel cleansing.

derived from clinical experience
Treatment:
There are two key components to a successful Candida treatment program, and they
BOTH must be followed; neither will work completely alone.
Diet: You must deprive the Candida of it's favorite food: sugar. So as you will see, this is
a very low carbohydrate diet. By doing so, you allow the supplements (see below) to
work to destroy the Candida organisms. It is best to strictly adhere to the diet for at least
30 days, and then continue to moderate your carbohydrate intake by using low glycemic
carbohydrates. A side benefit for many people is weight loss , as noted with my patient
above. Many others will also reduce their cholesterol levels.

You can view a typical daily diet and check out some recipes at K aren Tripp's website
at: http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/4966/recipes.htm
After you complete the above diet, I recommend you continue to follow a low glycemic
diet for at least 3 months. Two good resources on low glycemic diets are the books The
Glycemic Revolution and Sugar Busters. I would recommend that you follow the sensible
eating plans outlined in one of these books after you are on the 30 day plan we have
outlined above.
Supplements:Candida can be treated naturally, or conventional antifungal agents can be
employed. However, it seems that single agent treatment is often ineffective, and multi agent therapy (several different supplements) has the best results. This appears to be
true for both conventional and natural treatments. I have reviewed many different
regimens (n.攝生;養生法;食物療法) that have been purported (n.意義;要旨;大要 vt.意味著;
做為…要旨;聲稱;打算) to be successful. There are some theories about "rotational"
therapy, that 3 or 4 different supplements should be used in an alternating fashion. I
have seen some 30 day cures, and some longer. There may be some value in each of
these, but I believe that the major cause of failure is lack of adherence to the diet and a
supplement regimen that uses only one agent to try and clear the Candida. Since each
person is different, treatment should be tailored to suit individual needs; some people
with severe symptoms may need to be treated longer, while for others, a short course is
adequate. From reviewing available evidence, it also seems best to use several active
agents simultaneously, to maximize effect.
A word about conventional treatment. Of the conventional medications, fluconazole
(Diflucan) appears to be more effective than Nystatin ( 利霉菌素; 製霉菌素; 製真菌素).
Fluconazole is relatively safe, but liver toxicity may rar ely occur, and the Candida may
develop resistance to either agent. Therefore, I recommend that if you want to use a
conventional medication, that you combine this with simultaneous complementary,
natural therapy. If you really stick to the diet and supplem ent regimen, conventional
therapy is not necessary.
There are many supplements that have activity against Candida. The ideal regimen
incorporates several different agents that work together in combination to kill the
Candida. Fiber is very useful to help cleanse the colon. It is said that the Candida has a
tendency to attach to the wall of the colon, and the mechanical action of the fiber may
help clean the wall of the colon, clearing the Candida. Herbs that contain berberine 小檗
堿; 黃連素 (which kills yeast and activates immune system) have been effective,
including goldenseal root, barberry n.伏牛花;伏牛花子 root, and Oregon grape root.
Grapefruit is seed extract, garlic, echinacea, pau d'arco bark, celandine (n. 白屈菜),
astragalus (n.距骨;紫雲英屬) root, ginseng, Siberian ginseng, and holy basil have also
been used. Caprylic acid and undecenoic acid also have considerable antifungal effect.
Of these herbs , the most important and effective appears to be garlic, caprylic acid, and
undecenoic acid.
Homeopathic (a.同種療法的) remedies have also been used to treat Candida with
considerable success. The principle of homeopathy is that "like treats like"; that is, you
introduce a very dilute amount of the substance to the body, which allows the body to
formulate its own defense against the offending organism.
Another interesting agent is Lactoferrin (乳鐵蛋白). This protein has significant antifungal
effect, and is often deficient in people with intestinal Candida. Although not specifically
studied in humans, lab data indicate that lactoferrin has significant activity against
Candida. It is often combined with colostrum (n.初乳), which helps boost the immune
system.
Possibly the most important part of the treatment is to replenish the good bacteria of the
intestinal tract that have been crowded out and destroyed by the Candida. Probiotics, or
beneficial bacteria, are key to this process. The repopulation of the good bacteria can be
started at the same time as the treatment, and should continue indefinitely. Lifelong (a.
畢生的;終身的) therapy with a probiotic can help keep Candida in check, and has
beneficial effect on bowel function. The best -studied strain of probiotic is Lactobacillus
GG. This specially developed strain has numerous scientific papers supporting its ability
to get past stomach acid and repopulate the colon. Additionally, it has been s hown to
adhere to the wall of the colon, which is where the Candida tend to live.
Treatment Protocols:
Treatment protocols are divided into 3 levels, based on our Candida score above. W e
have chosen products based on the best combination of efficacy and cost. The principles
outlined above were used to guide the determination of treatment protocols, and these
represent a synthesis of the most common and effective treatment protocols that are in
common use.
The products in the protocols and the reasons the y were chosen are as follows:
Twinlab Yeast Fighters: by having a base of good, soluble fiber, this product helps
mechanically cleanse the colon wall. Additionally, it combines not only garlic, but
caprylic acid and a special herbal blend that includes go ldenseal root, pau d' arco, onion
and black walnut. It also contains some acidophilus. This is a good blend of anti -candida
herbs.
AquaFlora Candida High Potency: This remarkably effective homeopathic remedy is
completely safe and easy to take. W e have se en dramatic results using this agent, and
there is a great deal of supportive anecdotal (a. 逸話的;多逸事趣聞的;軼事一樣的)
evidence for its use.
CAG Functional Foods Culturelle (or Nutrition Now PB -8): As we mentioned,
Lactobacillus GG is the most well-studied acidophilus, and is the type found in
Culturelle. It is a bit more expensive than other brands, but has the best science behind
it. A good alternative is PB-8 from Nutrition Now. This has a blend of 8 different
beneficial strains of probiotic flora.
Rainbow Light Allzyme + Lactase (n.乳糖分解酵素) : To assist the digestive process and
minimize symptoms of gas, bloating 爐襯膨脹 and indigestion, we have added this
excellent vegetable-based enzyme n.黴 product to our protocols. It is recommended, but
not required.
Allergy Research Group Lactoferrin乳鐵蛋白 + Colostrum n.初乳 : For severe infections,
we recommend you support the immune system with this product, which also has direct
anti-fungal effects against Candida.
The Protocols
Level 1 Treatment (mild infection) Duration o f treatment: 3 months
Anti-Candida diet for 30 days minimum, followed by low glycemic diet
Culturelle (or PB-8), one capsule each morning and evening (continuously)
Aqua Flora High Potency, 2 tablespoons each morning for three months
Twinlab Yeast Fighters, 5 capsules 30 to 60 minutes before the evening meal for 3
months
Rainbow Light Allzyme + Lactase, 1 or 2 capsules with each meal until symptoms
resolve, then as needed.
Level 2 Treatment (moderate infection) Duration of treatment: 6 months
Anti-Candida diet for 30 days minimum, followed by low glycemic diet
Culturelle (or PB-8), one capsule each morning and evening (continuously)
Aqua Flora High Potency, 2 tablespoons each morning for three months followed by
Aqua Flora Phase 1 for another 3 mo nths
Twinlab Yeast Fighters, 5 capsules 30 to 60 minutes before the evening meal for 3
months
Rainbow Light Allzyme + Lactase, 1 or 2 capsules with each meal meal until symptoms
resolve, then as needed.
Level 3 Treatment (severe infection) Duration of treatment: 12 months
Anti-Candida diet for 30 days minimum, followed by low glycemic diet
Culturelle (or PB-8), one capsule each morning and evening (continuously)
Aqua Flora High Potency, 2 tablespoons each morning for three months followed by
Aqua Flora Phase 1 for another 9 months
Twinlab Yeast Fighters, 5 capsules 30 to 60 minutes before the evening meal for 3 to 6
months
Rainbow Light Allzyme + Lactase, 1 or 2 capsules with each meal meal until symptoms
resolve, then as needed.
Allergy Research Group Lactoferrin + Colostrum, one capsule twice daily for 3 months.
While these protocols have not been studied in a clinical trial, I believe that they
represent a sound and cost-effective approach to treating this difficult problem. If
symptoms resolve very rapidly and you decide to shorten the course of treatment, bear
in mind that it is very difficult to control Candida, and symptoms may recur later on. It is
best to treat for a longer period of time to avoid this. Additionally, if for some reason y ou
must go on antibiotics after you have cleared up the Candida, it may recur. Therefore,
you should use a one month course of the Level 1 treatment protocol to try and prevent
reinfection.
I sincerely hope that this provides you with useful information, and a resource to start
your treatment of this significant medical problem.
