The Yeast/Fungus Link

It is now believed that yeast overgrowth in the body often referred to as Candidiasis, is actually caused by a systemic fungal infection. understanding this fungal link is the key to restoring proper system-wide balance. Normally, fungi live in a healthy balance with other microorganisms including bacteria and yeasts; however, certain conditions can cause fungi to multiply, weakening the immune system and causing infection. Because fungi travel through the bloodstream to many parts of the body, varying symptoms may manifest including:

• vaginitis
• ear and sinus irritation
• gastrointestinal problems
• oral thrush
• intense itching
• canker sores
• food allergies
• jock itch
• ringworm
• bowel disorders
• athletes foot
• environmental sensitivities

Fungal Defense delivers nature's most effective anti-yeast and fungal compounds to actively help eliminate Candida from your body.

What Is Candida?

Candida Albicans is a single celled fungal yeast. Among the most prolific organisms on the planet, it is impossible to keep it out of your body. In a healthy person, it does little harm because its population is kept in check by beneficial microorganisms (probiotics) which are, however, easily destroyed by antibiotics, many prescription medications, birth control pills, poor diet, and daily stress. This can then cause the Candida yeast to grow out of control, producing chemicals that are toxic to the body. Yeast overgrowth is thought to affect over 40 million Americans, both men and women, and is especially prevalent in hyperactive children and those with ADD and ADHD.

A Word on Diet

The powerful ingredients in Fungal Defense are specifically targeted to destroy yeast and other fungi and to restore a balanced, healthy internal environment. To prevent re-infection and to maintain a properly balanced system, it is critical to reduce, or in some cases, eliminate the intake of the following foods: sweets, carbohydrates (such as bread, pasta, muffins, glutenous grains, etc), alcohol, vinegar, fruits, and aged cheeses - as these foods (especially sugars and carbohydrates) feed the yeast which thrive in sugary environments and actually cause you to crave these very foods.

Powerful Anti-Fungal Compounds

HSOs and Their Probiotic Function: We usually have a balance of approximately 85% good to 15% harmful organisms in the intestinal tract but most of us today have the opposite ratio. Homeostatic Soil Organisms (HSOs) are highly stable beneficial probiotic microorganisms. Impervious to stomach acids, they crowd out pathogens, eliminating yeast, fungi and bad bacteria from the intestines.

The Enzyme Connection: Candida research favorably supports the indespensible role of specific enzymes and their ability to literally digest Candida cell walls. The Fungal Defense formula utilizes potent amounts of both cellulase and protease. Cellulase breaks down fibrous carbohydrates while protease hydrolyzes (digests) protein. These two enzymes help to dissolve the cell wall of yeast and other fungi.

Wild Oregano and Olive Leaf Extracts: Fungal Defense contains the most powerful anti-fungal substances found in nature. Wild Oregano and Olive Leaf Extracts are recognized for their potent anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-parasitic properties. Their primary fungicidal components work synergistically to help eliminate yeast and fungus on contact.

What is Fruits of Life

Fruits of Life is a revolutionary whole food product designed to assist the body in attaining vibrant health at the cellular level. Fruits of Life provides over 21 certified organic nutrients and probiotics. These specially selected foods, rich in antioxidant and immune-enhancing properties, are blended in a base of alkalizing minerals from hormone-free, goat's milk. For thousands of years our ancestors regularly ate foods rich in the nutrients necessary to prolong and preserve life. In today's fast paced society it is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain the quality and concentrations of nutrients necessary to positively impact our health on a daily basis. Garden of Life® has combined antioxidant rich fruits and alkaline forming minerals in one complete product. Fruits of Life may help your body fight the destructive nature of free radicals and clear the deposits of acidic wastes at the cellular level.

Why Do We Need Antioxidants?

Antioxidants found in our fruits and vegetables help to fight and neutralize free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals are considered a major component in aging and disease progression. Research has shown that rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, and even certain types of cancer are the direct result of free radical damage in the body. The destruction of healthy cells may be avoided by simply adding a powerful antioxidant nutrient combination, such as Fruits of Life, to your daily diet.

Why Is Alkalinity Important?

Alkalinity or the proper pH is important because, like body temperature, there is an "optimal" range in which the body prefers to create healthy reactions. Fruits of Life can help ensure that a"preferred pH range" is maintained. The more frequently that preferred pH range is disturbed, the greater the chance of disease. According to Japanese research, these diseases are associated with over acidity (or low pH level) in the body: cancer, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout, kidney disease, chronic fatigue, psoriasis, hives, eczema, osteoporosis, constipation, heartburn, asthma, hay fever, allergies, headaches, neuralgia, indigestion, nausea, obesity, tooth and gum diseases, and leg cramps.

In any given day, you are exposing yourself to a multitude of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungus as you interface with other people in the workplace, at school, through public transportation, and even with other family members. This is simply a natural part of living in the world, to which a healthy body can easily adjust and compensate. When however, inadequate sleep or the stress of everyday life causes your immune system to breakdown, the most sensible place to look for assistance, is to nature itself.

Your Body's Natural Healing Process

Garden of Life®, and Vitamins-Etc.Com recognize that an occasional cold or flu is your body's natural cleansing and detoxifying response to bacterial and viral invasions. We understand, that rather than slowing down this very natural process - that instead, the best "defense" is to provide your immune system with the most powerful botanical concentrates that nature has to offer. This allows you to rebalance, regenerate and super strengthen natural immune functions so your own body can heal itself, as it is designed to do. A normal human body has billions of beneficial bacteria needed to ensure proper metabolic functioning. Conventional antibiotic treatments, are "non-selective" in their destruction of bacteria, indiscriminately destroying everything. This can create many new problems, including yeast and other fungal infections, as well as constipation and digestive disorders. In addition, bacterial strains can often mutate, thus becoming more virulent and antibiotic resistant.

Whole Food Nutrition

In honoring your natural response process, Seasonal Relief delivers the most potent, immune boosting ingredients that nature has to offer. We have specifically chosen clinically proven and time honored herbs, roots and bark for their anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. When these properties are naturally occurring in whole food concentrates, they selectively neutralize the invading pathogens, without automatically destroying the beneficial bacteria that maintain a healthy internal environment. Your body recognizes these as tonic foods, easily assimilating what it needs to restore balance, and excreting what it doesn't. This natural process is called "selective absorption".

All In One Formula

The unique herbal, root and bark concentrates in Seasonal Relief, contain within them powerful immune building compounds which have the ability to not only neutralize pathogens, but equally as important, to boost immune functions. This is the first time a natural formula has combined therapeutic amounts of anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal ingredients all together in one formulation, targeting its beneficial healing properties directly at the source - your immune system.
