Yeast is found in air, food and water. It is a microorganism that can cause serious damage to your body, including your kidneys and intestines. Can a yeast infection cause high blood sugar? If it ends up in your liver, yes, it can.

Intestinal yeast

Most people ingest yeast when they eat food.  The microbiome (beneficial microorganisms) in your gut keeps yeast from attacking your intestines.

Your intestines are a tube-like organ that wind from the stomach to the anus. The main job of the intestines is to digest food. You have a small intestine and a large intestine. The small intestine has three parts (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) and the large intestine has four parts (cecum, colon, rectum and anal canal).

The intestinal (gut) microbiome is a collection of helpful organisms that live in your digestive tract. They help with digestion, regulating the immune system and protecting the body from bacteria.

Sometimes we eat foods with chemicals that destroy the microbiome.  When the microbiome is broken, yeast can attack your intestines.  You won’t feel the yeast attacking your intestines or breaking your microbiome. You may feel like you have the flu, but the flu symptoms go away after a few days.

Processed foods contain chemicals that destroy your microbiome. Processed foods also contain no nutrients, which means the microbiome can’t be rebuilt.  This makes it easier for your intestines to be attacked by yeast.  Once the yeast has gone into your intestines, it will move into the lymphatic system.

There are over 3,000 different types of yeast.  Some yeast will travel in the lymphatic system and stay close to the intestines. Other types of yeast will travel in the lymphatic system to the kidneys.  Yeast can also move from the lymphatic system to the liver, lungs, ovaries and prostate. The yeast will produce chemicals to suppress your immune system.  This keeps your immune system from attacking germs, which allows more germs to survive in your body.

When yeast gets in your liver

Yeast will travel in the lymphatic system into the liver.  This causes fatty liver.  Fat in the liver absorbs the toxins created by yeast.  This is the body’s way of keeping toxins from circulating throughout the body. Storing toxins in fat requires no energy. It is an efficient way to store toxins.

The yeast will grow and spread throughout the liver, killing liver cells. The liver has to work harder to replace the cells that are killed. It also triggers the liver to make more cholesterol, which is used by the immune system. It is not the same cholesterol found in food.

Medical doctors are trained to detect high blood cholesterol and prescribe a pill (statin) to lower cholesterol.  They believe high blood cholesterol is linked to heart attacks and stroke.  Even though many Americans are prescribed statins, they are still dying of heart attacks and strokes.

 Yeast and your immune system

Your immune system defends the body against harmful substances. It also removes damaged cells from the body, including liver cells. It doesn’t detect and kill yeast. When yeast gets into the liver, it can cause so much damage that the liver is no longer able to store sugar (glucose). The liver begins to leak sugar, which eventually causes high blood sugar.

Diabetes is a type of health condition where your blood glucose levels (blood sugar) are too high.  You can control the early stages of diabetes with diet and exercise.  Eating the right foods and exercising will balance sugar intake and metabolism so your blood sugar is normal.  But this doesn’t get rid of the yeast.  The yeast will continue to grow and spread in the liver.  Eventually, the sugar levels will go up.

When this happens, doctors will usually try to solve the problem with a pill. The pill stops your liver from releasing sugar. This may work in the beginning. But it doesn’t mean your blood sugar will return to normal. Maybe it ends up in a low range and you just keep going to the doctor for blood tests to make sure the pills are working.

High blood sugar can also be caused by taking other medications.  You end up taking pills to treat one health situation and cause another.

Treating yeast in the liver

Western medical doctors – general practitioners – treat the symptoms of a health problem, which often leads to worse problems.  When that doesn’t work, they send you to a specialist.  The heart doctor doesn’t care what is happening to your liver.  The liver doctor doesn’t care about your intestines.  Each doctor is focused on their medical specialty.

Chinese medicine has been around for centuries. It effectively treats the root cause of unwanted health conditions. It addresses the entire body and body processes.

Finding the root cause of the health problem gives your body a chance to fix it. You can live a life free of pain, have lots of energy and be able to eat food when you handle the real reason a problem exists.

The best way to get rid of yeast overgrowth is with a yeast body cleanse. Yeast is a type of organism that can enter the body in different ways. It is a fungus that can cause serious health issues such as bloodstream infections, extreme fatigue, digestive problems, breathing problems, inflammation and cancer.

Yeast in the body

Yeast has many ways to suppress the immune system and prevent it from activating.  It has a protective barrier to prevent detection. The immune system will go past yeast and ignore it.

Yeast can also move through the body.  It can spread to the kidneys, liver, lungs, lymph nodes, ovaries and prostate.

When yeast travels from the intestines to the liver, it causes fatty liver and acid reflux.  When it gets into the kidneys, it causes kidney stones and adrenal fatigue. When it’s in your lymph system, your lymph nodes will swell.

Yeast can also migrate to the lungs and cause bronchitis and breathing problems.  It can get into the ovaries and cause ovarian cysts, and travel to the prostate where it can cause prostatitis and prostate cancer.

Yeast in the liver

Your liver filters the blood in your body. It also down toxic substances. And it produces bile, a fluid that digests fats and removes waste.

Yeast will go to the liver because it’s rich in nutrients.  The liver is also close to the intestines.  Yeast will enter the intestines and enter the lymph nodes.  White blood cells are in the lymph nodes.  If bacteria enters a lymph node, your white blood cells will attack and cause inflammation. If it’s in the intestinal area, you will also have indigestion.

Yeast in the lymph system

The lymph system protects the body against infections by producing, storing and carrying the white blood cells that fight harmful bacteria, viruses and other substances. It also carries nutrients to your cells and tissues.

Yeast can travel throughout the lymphatic system without activating your white blood cells.  The lymphatic system is made up of vessels, nodes, organs, tissues and lymph (the colorless fluid that contains the white blood cells). It is part of the immune system.  Yeast toxins suppress the immune system.

Yeast in the kidneys

Yeast in the kidneys is the major cause of all autoimmune disorders.  When you get a blood test, the blood contains the results of your body reacting to yeast in the kidneys.  The kidneys filter 20% of all toxins.  The liver filters 80% of all toxins.  Yeast in the kidneys will cause the filtration to slow down.  You might have heard about kidney failure.  Before kidney failure, you will have an autoimmune disease.  Many doctors will tell you an autoimmune disease is caused at birth – that you were born with a defective immune system.  This theory means you need to undergo lifelong medical treatment. It is the yeast in the kidneys that causes the autoimmune disorder. If you illuminate the yeast from your kidneys, you illuminate the disorder.

Yeast in the lungs

Yeast in the lungs causes breathing problems.  This can occur when you’re a child or when you get older.   Doctors who diagnose children with asthma will often say the child was born with weak lungs.  They prescribe inhalers to treat the lung condition, which many times is a yeast condition.

Yeast in the lungs is also the cause of emphysema and COPD.  If you’re a smoker, you are putting toxins into your lungs.  You stop smoking and your lungs will clear up in months.  Many people don’t smoke and end up with emphysema, COPD and lung cancer, which means there are other reasons for these health problems.

Medical doctors and drugs

Medical education was altered by the pharmaceutical companies back in the 70’s.  The pharmaceutical companies paid professors to write new textbooks to incorporate new drug treatments.  Doctors who did not accept pharmaceutical money were not allowed to teach in medical schools.  Pharmaceutical companies also gave lavish parties to poor medical students.  As medical students graduated into doctors they continued their relationship with pharmaceutical companies. One example is pharmaceutical companies paying doctors to attend medical conferences in Hawaii and other vacation spots where they would promote their new drugs.

Chinese herbal medicine and a yeast body cleanse

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a centuries-old holistic approach to treating illnesses and diseases, including infections. TCM includes the use of potent medicinal herbs to heal the body. Using the right combination of herbs tailored to your specific health needs, these herbs can eliminate chronic fungal infections like yeast and Candida.

Most detox products and programs can’t penetrate deep enough into the body to get rid of infections like yeast. They generally focus on individual organs and ignore the important internal systems that need cleansing and repair as well.

When you are detoxing and cleansing the body, there is also a very specific sequence that needs to be followed to get the best results. If this sequence isn’t followed, you will still have yeast in hidden pockets throughout the body – and the sequence is different for each person depending on their current health condition.

Some people will be given antibiotics to kill the yeast. Antibiotics were discovered by watching mold toxins (yeast) kill bacteria.  Antibiotics don’t kill mold or yeast.  The antibiotics will also destroy any good bacteria in your gut, which will allow more yeast to attack your intestines.

Candida is a family of germs.  It enters the body like bacteria, but it’s a more complex organism. Because Candida can prevent the immune system from activating, it can move through the body without detection for years.  A Candida infection is an overgrowth of Candida in the body.

Types of Candida

In the plant kingdom, Candida are decomposers that can break down pesticides, radiation and other toxins. There are over 3,000 types of Candida. 

Yeast is a mobile form of Candida.  It can travel throughout the body and attach to any organ, especially when your immune system is low.

Fungus is the flowering form of Candida.  Once conditions are right, the Candida shoots up a long stem into the air.  This stem forms a bulb at the end.  The end is a spore.  This spore breaks off, flies into the air, and lands in another location.  Candida can also connect to another Candida through a reproductive connection and exchange DNA.  Once DNA is exchanged, both Candida become fungus.   

Candida can adapt to almost any environment and thrive.  If the environment gets too cold, they turn into spores and become dormant.  This dormancy can last for decades. Once the environment is right, they wake up without being damaged by the freeze.  If the environment gets too hot, they can feed on our sweat and bodily secretions.  They don’t need water.  They can get water from the air.  They can turn pesticides and radiation into energy. 

Candida in the body

Candida is found in our foods and is eaten.  Candida becomes activated when it reaches our stomach.  Our stomach acids kill bacteria, but it doesn’t kill Candida.  Candida activates in an acidic environment.  Candida doesn’t attack our stomach unless it’s compromised. 

Do you get acid reflux or heartburn?  A compromised stomach doesn’t make enough stomach acids, so Candida can attack the stomach.  This is why people with acid reflux feel worse when they eat certain foods. 

Some foods feed the Candida. When Candida is fed, it creates toxins, preventing other germs from growing in the environment. The only bacteria that can grow with Candida is H. Pylori bacteria.  Medical doctors have labeled H. Pylori a “bad bacteria.” It is bad because when you have H. Pylori, you also have Candida.

Candida in your intestines

Candida stays with the food you eat and gets pushed into our intestines.  The intestines have a layer of probiotics which creates a physical barrier.  This physical barrier is usually enough to prevent Candida from entering the intestines.  This is why it’s important to create a healthy microbiome (community of microorganisms) in your gut.  The current supplement industry has been giving people a lot of information on probiotics and microbiomes.  Creating a microbiome with probiotics supplement works to prevent Candida infection.

If probiotics aren’t in the intestines when Candida attacks, the Candida goes right into the intestines.  That’s why people get leaky gut, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis and other intestinal problems. 

If you start taking probiotics after the Candida is already in your intestines, it will create a barrier around the intestines that traps the Candida inside. It’s like putting a wall around a lake so other cars can’t drive into a lake. It doesn’t help the car that has already gone into the lake.

Treating candida

Before the 1970s, doctors were taught in medical schools about yeast, candida and fungus.  Medical textbooks showed how to find and diagnose Candida infections.  They were using herbs and homeopathy to treat Candida. These days, they prescribe pills and intravenous drugs. The treatment can sometimes get rid of the Candida, but it usually comes back – even worse.

The way you treat Candida is to train your immune system to attack it.  Your immune system must learn how to take apart every defense system Candida has created in your body. 

Remember, after Candida enters the body, it produces toxins to prevent detection. These toxins also act to suppress your immune system.  So your immune system has to learn to recognize these toxins and ignore them. 

Candida also has a shield made of carbs and proteins.  Your immune system must learn how to recognize this shield and attack it.  Candida will produce mucus once the shield is broken.  Your immune system has to be able to break down the mucus and continue to attack.

Candida and Chinese medicine

Chinese medicine has been used for thousands of years to treat health problems like Candida infections. It is a holistic approach to healing. Chinese medicinal herbs can help detox your body and train your immune system to eliminate the Candida once and for all.  No pills, no IVs. Just natural herbal remedies that effectively address the infection.

Changing your diet and taking supplements may be a solution for mild bouts of Candida. But If your Candida infection is chronic, you will need to get rid of the toxins in your body before you can eliminate the infection.

Body toxins cause inflammation. When there is toxic inflammation in the lymph system, it prevents the Candida from moving through and out of the body.  A detox using the right medicinal herbs will clear out the toxins and open a path for Candida elimination.

Because everyone’s body is different, the detox needs to be tailored to your specific health needs. Buying detox products off the shelf will not effectively address the problem.

If you have a Candida infection and would like to know more about the detox and how it works, call us today at (213) 999 – 5577 or schedule a free consultation with Dr. Kwang.

 

What is yeast?

Yeast is a type of fungus, an organism that is neither plant nor animal. It can be found on your skin and inside your body. It typically enters the body through the mouth when you eat food. You can also breathe in fungi spores (cells). Yeast overgrowth (an imbalance of healthy bacteria and yeast) can cause health issues such as urinary tract infections, tiredness, fatigue, digestive problems and joint pain. Diet can alleviate some yeast problems, but a yeast detox is usually the best way to get rid of a yeast infection.

How yeast gets in your intestines

Your intestines are a tube-like organ that helps digest food that comes from the stomach. It is shielded by a mucus barrier (gut barrier) that regulates nutrient absorption and protects the intestines from harmful substances.  This barrier can be destroyed by the pesticides in the food you eat and eating large amounts of sugar for a long time. When the barrier has been damaged, yeast can enter your intestines.

An overgrowth of intestinal yeast can cause food allergies, pain, indigestion and bloating. If you were able to see your intestines, they would look red. You might even see swollen lymph nodes and bleeding. The bleeding can become extreme and may even be seen in your bowel movements. Doctors call this condition diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis or irritable bowel syndrome.

Yeast in the lungs

When yeast is in the lungs, it causes irritation of the airways. Doctors call this irritation “asthma.” Your airways become inflamed and constrict in response to the irritation. The constriction is caused by inflammation, your body’s defense mechanism when it recognizes an irritant. A yeast infection in the lung can happen to both children and adults.

Not all yeast that enters the lungs becomes an infection. Similar to the intestines, the lungs also have a mucus protective barrier. When you get sick, this barrier is damaged, which causes a runny nose and coughing up mucus. When the mucus leaves the body, so does the yeast.

Yeast overgrowth, your immune system and Cancer

Another way yeast overgrowth in your airways or digestive system can occur is when you have a weak immune system (immunocompromised).

Most people with cancer have a weakened immune system. This condition can be caused by the cancer, as well as the cancer treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, stem cell treatment, bone marrow transplants and steroids).

I’ve had several clients tell me that after their chemotherapy, they were told to go home and eat whatever they wanted because they were losing weight. This increases the chances of yeast overgrowth.

Antibiotics and yeast

There are 3,000 different types of yeast.  They each have a favorite organ that they like to inhabit when they enter the body. If it ends up in your lungs, it can cause asthma.  If it lands in the kidneys, it can cause bloating and nausea.  If it spreads to the liver, it will cause acid reflux and fatty liver.  Yeast can also travel to the breast and other organs and cause cancer. Yeast problems will lead to circulation issues as well.

The immune system’s job is to find and eliminate these types of harmful substances.  However, yeast can evade detection by secreting toxins that prevent the immune system from activating.

Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed to treat yeast infections. Antibiotics are made from bacteria and fungi. Their job is to destroy harmful bacteria.

When you take antibiotics for a yeast problem, it will cause even more problems with your immune system to function properly.

Western medicine and yeast overgrowth

Antibiotics, other types of pills and shots are a typical treatment protocol for Western medicine. A lung doctor will prescribe inhalers or prednisone pills because that’s American Medical Association approved treatment protocol. Intestinal doctors will prescribe antibiotics and/or prednisone pills for the same reason.

Like antibiotics, these pills and shots interrupt your body’s reaction to the infection. When they wear off, not only does the problem come back, it is usually worse. If you go back to the doctor, you will usually get a double dose of whatever it was you were given the first time.

The doctor is trying to shut down your body’s reaction to inflammation. When the pills and shots stop working, the next treatment is surgery – removal of the affected body part.

Chronic yeast infection

When you have a yeast infection and the problem isn’t fixed at the root cause, your intestines will rot. Your immune system is also weakened because you can’t absorb foods. The foods that are supposed to be good for you hurt when you eat them. So, you eat foods that don’t hurt you. The foods that don’t hurt you are most likely processed foods because they don’t activate your immune system – they don’t cause pain. But they don’t heal your body either.

Getting rid of yeast

In addition to eating too much sugar and refined carbohydrates, taking antibiotics or having a weak immune system. You can also end up with yeast problems by taking antibiotics, drinking too much alcohol or taking oral contraceptives. Too much stress and diabetes can also lead to chronic yeast infections.

When a body is generally functioning well, sometimes all it takes is a change in diet and a few basic supplements to get rid of the infection.

If the infection has been there for a while, or spread throughout the body, you may need a more comprehensive yeast detox.

A natural and effective method of getting rid of a yeast infection involves the use of Chinese medicinal herbs that can activate the immune system to detect and get rid of the yeast. It’s a special type of yeast detox that also addresses the lymph system. This is because the lymphatic system’s job is to absorb toxins like yeast and transport them to the kidney and liver for removal.

When toxins start accumulating in the body, it can cause lymph system blockages. When someone has a blocked lymph system, they can often feel swollen bumps along their throat or armpits.  The swelling means the lymph nodes are filled with toxins and the yeast is unable to move out of the body.

That’s why dietary changes and off-the-shelf herbal remedies are not going to solve this kind of health condition.  It needs to be addressed fully and completely with a tailor-made detoxification program that repairs and restores the body processes that are needed to remove the yeast.
