A Traditional herbal formula
for ridding the body of Candidiasis, yeast and other fungal
infections
This can
be the root cause of many viral and bacterial infections, kidney, vaginal,
prostate, Chronic Fatigue and many other disorders!
This
should be taken with Coptis Root if there are
cronic lung infections or pronounced lung weakness associated with your
complaints.
I have seen many of the “Great American Herbalists” cleanse the
colons of patients and pile them up with supplements and diet until
they were blue in the face with very little success! These well
meaning people just don’t understand the energy workings and meridian
clearing factors of Chinese Herbal Medicine!
For candidiasis, diet and colon flushing management alone is
not strong enough to clear the system. With Chinese herbal cleansing
therapy, the goal is to clear the system of Dampness, Phlegm, and Heat.
These are the causative factors of candidiasis. The herbs of
Chinese medicine are not intended to mechanically clear out the large
intestine; rather, they promote the clearing-out of the pathological
factors of Phlegm and Heat toxins. This is usually very hard for a western
doctor to understand.
Middle Burner disorder (Spleen and Stomach) is the key factor
in candidiasis. When Spleen energy is weakened by poor diet, to much
sugar, pharma-medications (A real biggie!) or other factors, its
ability to transform phlegm is diminished. The Spleen then fails to
properly absorb and utilize nutrients from the foods we eat, and is
therefore unable to produce healthy amounts of Chi and Blood components.
(Chi, or Qi, by the way, roughly translated is energy
- As in "lack of" or Chronic Fatigue!) So therefore the
earliest stage of candidiasis is almost always a Spleen (Middle Burner)
disorder. If treated appropriately at this stage, with re-balancing of the
Spleen and Stomach, the problem will resolve with no yeast-related
symptoms (Which can be legion!)
But candidiasis is not a well-defined
disease pattern. It is difficult to diagnose at the early stages, and many
people are completely unaware that they are developing a severe problem.
Then the disease gains ground, spreading to the Upper Burner (thrush,
cough, etc.), or to the Lower Burner (kidney, prostate ,vaginal infection,
etc.), or both.
From the foundation ofTCM,
it states: "The constitutional
energy is endangered when an internalized evil is there," The Yellow Emperor’s Classic
of Internal Medicine.
.
The
Damp Heat Clearing Formula: Long Dan Xie Gan Wan is a powerful herbal
combination to promote the liver and colon cleansing process. Damp Heat
Clearing is used most often when Lower Burner symptoms appear, and also
with some Middle Burner problems; Coptis Root Pills can be
added with Upper and Middle Burner symptoms. (Lung infections
etc.)This wonderful
TCM formula has a long list of
applications due to its clearing of meridians associated with the middle
and lower burner!

Another thing one can do in combination with Long Dan Xie
Gan Wan against fungal infections such as Candidiasis is drink a daily cup
of a delicious tasting tea made from the inner bark of the Purple
Flowering La Pacho Tree. (From Brazil) This is the true Pau d arco/ipe
roxo (Tabebulia heptaphylla) which has proven to have a great effect on
ridding and preventing Fungal Infections and is very good for the
immune system .
