Candida Campaign
| The Candida Campaign begins with Candida Albicans. This spore based fungus has been around for a very long time offering sound and balanced benefits to the cycles of life on plant earth. It resides on and in a wide variety of plants and animals. Over 300 types of yeast and fungi have been identified on human skin. Candida albicans is the most prolific and prefers the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to rectum along with female genitals. A study in 1967 showed that 100% of adults studied were supporting colonies of Candida albicans. Another study in 1976 revealed antibodies to Candida in 163 of 169 adults. Cultures of mucosal surfaces, delayed skin tests, antibody levels all suggest the same. Virtually all humans are in partnership with Candida albicans. |
| So, what’s the problem? The standard American diet and lifestyle has encouraged an explosion of Candida yeast activity in an alarming percentage of the population. The chemicals released from Candida are toxic to humans. Tartaric acid produced by Candida interferes with the Kreb’s cycle at the cellular level in your body. This cycle occurs in all the trillions of cells in your body and is responsible for producing ATP or better known as ENERGY! With less ATP produced – your energy levels drop and your immune system is weakened, you are susceptible to disease and infection. |
| A note about antibiotics: Medical statistics show that before antibiotics were introduced in 1947, only one out of every four vaginal infections was due to Candida. Today, Candida is the cause of nine out of ten such infections. After years of observation, scientists have concluded that antibiotic drugs promote yeast infections in four ways: 1) With the destruction of certain microorganisms, vacancies in our internal real estate are created. In these empty spaces, yeasts can proliferate and settle. 2) The bacteria killed by antibiotics often compete with Candida, vying for food as well as space. With the competition dead, Candida thrives easily. 3) Many antibiotics, such as penicillin, tetracycline or streptomycin, directly stimulate yeast growth. In a sense, Candida eats these drugs and finds them nourishing. 4) Decomposing bacteria can also stimulate and feed Candida. The bacteria killed by antibiotic drugs becomes more food for the yeasts. |
| The work of Dr. William Shaw, Director of Great Plains Laboratory in Overland Park, Kansas began with an accidental discovery that brings hope for all of us. Several years ago, Dr. Shaw found tartaric acid in the urine of children with autism, and later he found tartaric acid in the urine in the people with other diseases. This was a startling discovery because tartaric acid is produced by yeast – never by humans. |

| Dr. Shaw’s list of diseases in which a substantial number of patients excrete elevated microbial metabolites in the urine which have been detected by urine organic acid testing: |
| Tartaric Acid: Dr. Shaw has linked an overgrowth of the fungi, candida albicans with it’s waste product, tartaric acid, to an increasing number of chronic diseases. From his work, it appears that tartaric acid interferes with important functions of the Kreb’s Cycle and production of blood sugar, the fuel for body functions – including energy. Malic acid is an essential part of the Kreb’s Cycle, and Malic acid is chemically similar to tartaric acid, which interferes with energy production. With large amounts of tartaric acid in the blood it may be mistaken for Malic acid, and our system suffers. |
| A Direct Scientific Link: Dr. William Shaw has identified tartaric acid as a pathogen to the Kreb’s Cycle. He has given us a direct scientific link to a compromised digestive tract from candida overgrowth and chronic diseases. |
| Controlling Candia will not be an easy task! The problem is candida is naturally a part of us. We all have it. Candida enters our digestive system when we are weaned from liquids to solid foods. It colonizes and becomes part of our digestive tract. Lactobacillus bacteria that are a part of our gut also colonize at about the same time in our development. Lactic acid produced by lactobacillus bacteria help control candida. They are a part of our immune system. |
| Our problems are compounded in a culture that does not follow the pathway to good health. And bombarded with exposure to pollutants, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs both over the counter and prescription, pesticides from modern agriculture and the stress of modern hectic lifestyle, have taken their toll on our lactobacillus bacteria. The results: candida and catastrophic pH change in the digestive tract that is no longer conducive to the growth of good bacteria but is conducive to the growth of candida. |
| 5 Functions a Probiotic needs in the fight to control Candida: |
| 1) Viability – Are the bacteria alive when consumed? |
| 2) Survivability – Extremely important, can the bacteria survive the hydrochloric acid of |
| the stomach that is designed to digest and kill bacteria that are alive and made of protien? |
| 3) Growth – Can the bacteria (probiotic) grow in the small intestines when candida |
| overgrowth has taken control? The changing pH is detrimental to Lactobacillus bacteria and |
| conducive to the growth of pathogens such as Candida. |
| 4) Production of lactic acid – Can the bacteria produce L+ lactic acid in sufficient |
| numbers that the enzyme lactase can utilize and fully metabolize? |
| 5) Colonization – Can the bacteria re-establish as permanent residents? |
| Introducing Bacillus Coagulans! Also known as Lactobacillus sporogenes, has been proven to be the first step in the fight to control candida. L. sporogenes is a beneficial bacteria, plant derived, and is spore based offering natural protection from harmful elements that adversely affect other bacteria supplements. |
| 1) Viability – Sporogenes is truly in the Bacillus family of bacteria so it has it’s own defense mechanism, a shell that can naturally protect it from O2, light, and heat. Those factors kill Lactobacillus bacteria like acidophilus. Sporogenes stays safe in it’s protective shell until you need it and does not need to be refrigerated. |
| 2) Survivability – Sporogenes is a plant based bacterium unlike the animal based Lactobacillus bacteria. The protective shell is plant based protecting sporogenes from the hydrochloric acid naturally not artificially like enteric coating. |
| 3) Growth – Sporogenes can grow in a pH range from 4.4 – 10.6; with maximum growth between 6-7 pH, in the high 7′s and above. Advantage sporogenes. |
| 4) Production of lactic acid – Sporogenes is one of three bacteria used in probiotics that produces L+ lactic acid in greater quantity. Advantage sporogenes. |
| 5) Colonization – Sporogenes is a transient bacterium that is cultured from Malt sprouts. It is found in plants where it has a short life expectancy when it comes out of its shell. |
| Lactobacillus sporogenes comes closer to performing |
| the 5 probiotic functions than any of Lactobacillus bacteria |
| Where to find L. sporogenes: Candida-G™ and Flora-G Plus™ are two new probiotics introduced into the supplement market in 2006. They are produced by Natural Energetics, a probiotic supplement company based in Los Angeles, CA. Please contact your local Independent Distributor to Place an Order Today. |

| Candida-G is a powerful combination of Bacillus coagulans plus Aloe making it the natural choice for the correction of tissue damage done by Candida. Candida-G has the power to identify and mark Candida as a bad guy to your immune system earning the nickname “The Killer”. |
| Flora-G Plus probiotic controls the overgrowth of unhealthy Candida levels in the intestinal tract with Bacillus coagulans or L. sporogenes along with small amounts of ginger and flax to assist with inflammation and mobility of waste. Flora-G Plus maintains your inner real estate with the proper pH and healthy skin to give Lactobacillus acidophilus a fighting chance to re-establish itself in turn improving digestion, energy production and immune function – earning the nickname “The Builder”. |
