Cakes and Cookies that help heal candida

candida dietYou know, it is possible to enjoy sweetness even though you are on a Candida diet. Even Better, you can enjoy cakes and cookies that actually HELP YOU HEAL from Candida. These recipes include THREE natural ingredients that have been shown to have healing effects and combat candida.
First of all a natural sweetener: Xylitol and stevia are fine, but if you don't like the taste of stevia, or if xylitol is causing you gastrointestinal distress, then there is another solution - a natural sweetener that is actually beneficial to your gut flora - Yacon Syrup. Yacon syrup is glucose free and the sugar is composed mainly of fructooligosaccharides ( FOS) that cannot be absorbed by the body. The remaining sugars that are not FOS are absorbed slowly into the blood stream, making yacon syrup very low glycemic. FOS is a prebiotic that helps your digestion and the intestines to eliminate waste products. It strengthens and activates the good bacilli like L acidophilus and B bifidum which in turn helps enhance the immune system and helps suppress putrefactive pathogens such as Candida albicans The second ingredient is virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil is a potent Candida killer. It contains Lauric acid, Capric acid and Caprylic acid, which help prevent Candida overgrowth and strengthen your immune system. Let's take a look at the research: A study done at the University of Iceland showed that capric acid "causes the fastest and most effective killing of all three strains of Candida albicans tested, leaving the cytoplasm disorganized and shrunken because of a disrupted or disintegrated plasma membrane." Lauric acid was the most active at lower concentrations om candida. Lauric acid can only be obtained from 2 dietary sources: small amounts in butter or large amounts in coconut oil. Another study was done at the Department of Medical Microbiology & Parasitology, University College Hospital in Nigeria concluded: "It is noteworthy that coconut oil was active against species of Candida at 100% concentration compared to fluconazole. Coconut oil should be used in the treatment of fungal infections in view of emerging drug-resistant Candida species." And now for the third ingredient in these magical recipes: Almond meal! Which is used instead of grain flour. Unlike other nuts, almonds are an excellent source of alkaline protein AND research shows that they also promote beneficial bacteria in the gut. According to a study published in "Applied and Enviromental Microbiology", finely ground almonds significantly increased the levels of certain beneficial gut flora. Find out more...
