Candida overgrowth is a common cause of digestive disturbance. Candida is a type of yeast, which is naturally and normally occurring in the intestinal tract. Healthy candida levels are vital for proper nutrient absorption and to protect the intestinal tract from other infections. Since the gut has its own immune and neurological systems, keeping the natural ecology in balance is key.

One of the easiest ways to avoid yeast overgrowth is to limit dietary intake of sugars, carbs and alcohol. Yeast feeds on sugar, so anything that breaks down to sugar (which even complex carbs do) is a potential fuel source for yeast. Alcohol, being mostly sugar and yeast, is a perfect fuel source.

Taking probiotics is another good preventive measure. The more beneficial flora you put in, the less imbalances tend to occur. Adequate amount of good yeast and bacteria will crowd out the bad guys. Acidophilus and bifidus strains are helpful, as is Saccromyces boulardi. Saccromyces is actually a type of yeast itself. While this might sound counter-intuitive, it actually is a “good” yeast, which can help crowd out “bad yeast”.

Since antibiotic use is one of the causes of yeast overgrowth (they tend to wipe out everything in the gut, good and bad, allowing for yeast to take a hold), patients taking antibiotics must be especially careful to take high-potency probiotics as a preventive measure.

Symptoms of yeast overgrowth are many and varied, and can mimic other health conditions. Relating to digestive function, bad breath, bloating, gas and loose stools are common. More systemically, fatigue, lethargy, brain fog, itchy skin, athletes foot, vaginal itching/ irritation, PMS, depression and mood swings are just some of the possible symptoms.

To evaluate for yeast overgrowth, there are two primary tests to run. One is a blood test checking for antibodies (immune cells that might show reactivity to candida). The other is urine test looking for the actual metabolites of Candida. If levels are found to be high, or if we diagnose yeast overgrowth based on history and symptom picture, we will start an anti-fungal regimen.

Nutrition has to be part of an anti-fungal program. Low sugar, low carb, low alcohol is best. Some avoidance of “yeasty” foods such as mushrooms, breads and vinegars can be helpful.

Some anti-Candida diets are so regimented and so strict they make life miserable for the person trying to follow them. We believe that Candida can be rebalanced with a moderate dietary approach along with supplemental anti-fungal remedies.

There are many natural anti-fungal agents that can be used – garlic, pau d’arco, caprylic acid, oregano oil and grapefruit seed extract are some common ones. From a prescription standpoint, Nystatin is safe and effective – it is not absorbed systemically, rather it works in the gut to kill yeast and is then excreted. This means that there is no potential for liver toxicity. The more aggressive medication is fluconazole, which is used more for severe, systemic yeast problems.

Intestinal candida overgrowth is very common. It can usually be balanced with a combination of dietary changes, along with anti-fungal herbs and/or medications. However, it is important to remember that yeast overgrowth is often a symptom of something else in the digestive tract that has gone awry, such as parasites or inflammation from gluten intolerance, so further investigation of these factors is necessary to find lasting resolution.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, oats, and barley. There is more and more awareness now of gluten being a troublesome protein for humans to digest. Especially in the west, gluten is found in so many different foods and is hidden in different forms, so our bodies are constantly being bombarded with it. Further, wheat and other gluten-containing grains have become more genetically modified, which makes it a more dangerous grain to eat.

Gluten intolerance mostly affects people of European (especially Northern European) descent, but recent studies show that it also affects Hispanic, Black and Asian populations as well. Gluten intolerance affects 1 in 133 Americans. Many go undiagnosed and contribute to a wide variety of health issues.

Symptoms of gluten intolerance vary with each individual, ranging from no symptoms at all to severe gas, bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Symptoms do not always involve the digestive system. It can cause irritability, depression, muscle cramps, joint pain, fatigue, and menstrual irregularities, to name a few. Reactions to ingestion of gluten can be immediate, or delayed for weeks or even months.

There are several conditions that fall into the “gluten-sensitivity spectrum.”
At one end, we have wheat allergies. These are simple IgE- or IgG-mediated allergies. These are usually detected through food allergy testing or an elimination/ challenge test.

Then we have what people call “gluten sensitivity” or “gluten intolerance”. Some people who fall into this category do not test positive for celiac disease through a biopsy – but are considered “sub-clinical”, meaning gluten may still cause them problems but they’re not as severe as others. They likely have positive antibodies to gliadin and tissue transglutaminase on a stool test, which is how we diagnose gluten intolerance at RestorMedicine (we have found blood tests to be lacking in sensitivity).

The important thing to understand here is that gluten intolerance is an autoimmune reaction – eating gluten can trigger ones immune system to attack ones own tissues, giving rise to all kinds of damage. This is a permanent condition and can even lead to other auto-immune issues such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. This can be reversed if a gluten-free diet is adopted.

At the other end of the spectrum is celiac disease. Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune condition that causes damage to the villi of the small intestine, compromising its ability to absorb water and nutrients. The only difference between gluten intolerance and Celiac disease is that celiacs have a more severe form of gluten intolerance and there is proven damage to the intestinal wall. The auto-immune mechanism is the same for both.

We also know that wheat, even in people without intolerance, can cause “leaky gut syndrome” by creating a more permeable intestinal lining. This extra permeability allows gluten, toxins, and other substances, to get into the bloodstream where they can initiate immune responses and produce otherwise unexplainable symptoms. Infections in the digestive tract such as parasites can trigger gluten intolerance, and the inflammation caused by sub-clinical gluten intolerance can make such infections more difficult to resolve.

In autistic children, yet another mechanism is suspected. The protein peptides in both gluten and casein (from dairy) escape from the small intestine (due to leaky gut) and bind with opioid receptors in the brain. This can result in significant behavioral and cognitive changes. Approximately 70% of autistic children respond favorably to a gluten free, casein free (GFCF) diet.

Testing for gluten intolerance

If you have symptoms of gluten intolerance or celiac disease, it is important to undergo testing before embarking upon the gluten-free diet. You must be eating gluten in order for tests to be accurate – if you eliminate wheat/gluten from your diet prior to testing, the results will indicate that you do not have an intolerance, when in fact you might.

The most common tests are:

• IgG mediated food allergy tests – this blood test can determine a wheat allergy, but is not definitive for full-blown gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
• Anti-transglutaminase, IgA/ Anti-gliadin, IgA and IgG – these blood tests, if positive, show a definitive gluten-intolerance.
• Salivary IgA to gliadin – IgA is the most prevalent immunoglobulin in the digestive tract. This saliva test shows an immune response in the mucosal barrier.
• Urinary peptides for gluten and casein – this test is commonly done on autistic children to assess peptide reactions in the brain.

Some practitioners recommend a biopsy of the small intestine (checking for damage to the villi) to make a diagnosis of celiac disease. We feel that a positive antibodies test is sufficient evidence of gluten intolerance without the invasiveness of an intestinal biopsy.

If your tests are negative, don’t celebrate with a Domino’s pizza just yet. Some people test negative on the celiac panel, but are still sensitive to gluten. Others test negative at one point in their lives, but go on to develop gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. A trial of the gluten-free diet may still be recommended and many people find their health issues improve and they have an increased level of wellbeing.

There are a few underlying factors that can be present when gut health is compromised. One of the things we evaluate for at RestorMedicine is various infections that affect the gut. These can be parasitic, bacterial or yeast-related.

Parasitic infections
More common that one would imagine, intestinal parasites are a major cause of GI problems. When people think of intestinal parasites, sometimes they think of severe diarrhea coupled with malabsorption and weight loss. But this is often not the clinical picture. Parasites can cause constipation or diarrhea, and often some combination of the two. They can cause intestinal bloating, abdominal pain, cramping, irregular bowel movements, and can fuel either weight loss or weight gain. Some examples of parasites are Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, Dientamoeba fragilis Giardia lambia and Blastocystis hominis.

Because parasitic infections, especially once they have become chronic, can be hard to detect on stool testing, it is important to use highly specialized and sensitive testing to uncover them. Once the infection is identified, either anti-parasitic herbs or medications can be prescribed to rid the body of the infection.

Bacterial infections
By far the most common bacterial infection we see is H. pylori. It is a bacteria that affects the stomach. Typical symptoms are burping/ belching, heartburn or reflux, feeling like food just sits heavily in the stomach, and intolerances to foods that never caused problems in the past. It does this but attaching the cells that produce stomach acid, so it compromises ones ability to digest properly, especially proteins.

Once again standard medical testing often misses the detection of H. pylori, so specialized testing is advised for an accurate diagnosis. H. pylori can be treated either with a 14 day course of medication, or herbs and nutrients to counter the infection and heal the digestive tract.

Because other kinds of bacteria are a normal part of the intestinal flora, we sometimes see imbalances in this part of the GI tract too. Usually a regimen of herbs and good quality probiotics will rebalance the gut flora, but possible underlying triggers of the imbalance such as parasites and gluten intolerance must be evaluated too.

Yeast overgrowth
Candida is a normal part of the gut flora, but again, can get out of balance if other stressors exist, such as parasites or inflammation from food intolerances. For more information on Candida, please click here.

Navigating the most appropriate diet for a Lyme disease patient can be difficult, but good nutrition is such a crucial part of any treatment regimen that it is well worth addressing. Lyme disease is an illness caused by bacteria that is typically transmitted via ticks, but may also be spread via lice, fleas, mosquitos and other insects.

I believe that maintaining optimal nutrition is crucial for Lyme disease sufferers, but there is limited information on what people should eat, and how diet impacts the disease process in Lyme.
The Lyme Diet: Nutritional Strategies for Healing from Lyme Disease, was born out of this desire to assist people in their nutritional choices.

There are several major tenets of The Lyme Diet™ – the major benefits of eating this way are –

• Reducing inflammation in the body
• Supporting the immune system
• Preventing Candida and supporting healthy digestive function
• Supporting hormone systems
• Supporting detoxification

The book outlines many different food choices and how they contribute to these goals. Two of the major and more obvious categories of foods to be avoided are gluten and sugar, and these will be discussed here. But there are also many other factors that are discussed, such as eating for glycemic control, the benefits of an alkaline diet, and how a high oxalate diet can impact pain and fatigue.

Gluten-free eating

There are many different reasons to avoid eating gluten. Many Americans are gluten intolerant, and do not even realize it. The most severe form of gluten intolerance – celiac disease – may present with severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, skin conditions, and weight loss; however there are many more covert signs and symptoms of gluten intolerance that may not be so obvious, such as low grade digestive issues, gas, bloating and heartburn, decreased energy, joint and muscle pain, headaches and skin rashes. Many of these symptoms overlap with Lyme symptoms, and are indicative of inflammation in the body.

Gluten is pro-inflammatory. Gluten molecules can actually trigger an immune response, partially as they are not well broken down by deficient enzyme systems, and largely because many people have an autoimmune response to it. What that means is the gluten molecule triggers the immune system to start attacking the body’s own tissues. Any immune response leads to chemical mediators being released that cause inflammation and lead to symptoms such as pain, edema and headaches.

Being that Lyme disease creates such a high level of inflammation in the body, removing any additional sources of inflammation is important, and this is largely why a gluten-free diet is so critical. It also removes a source of immune activation, given that the immune system is already so taxed dealing with the infections themselves.

Low sugar/ carbohydrate diet

One of the first things I do with my Lyme patients is some kind of anti-fungal treatment, and I commonly find that people get some rapid improvement after doing this, particularly in cognitive symptoms such as memory and concentration. This positive response leads me to believe that yeast overgrowth, particularly candidiasis, is a contributing factor in many Lyme patients symptomatology. Add to that the impact of long term antibiotics on the intestinal flora, and there is a major argument to keeping a keen eye on preventing yeast.

Adequate probiotics (up to 200 billion organisms per day), and natural anti-fungals such as pau d’arco, garlic, oregano and caprylic acid, are great adjuncts. However, a key factor is keeping the sugar and carbohydrate intake of the diet low.

Sugar feeds yeast. It is as simple as that. If we are trying to deprive yeast of its food source, we need to keep the sugars and carbohydrates away from it. Feeding the yeast with sugars allows it to be happy and flourishing.

Which carbohydrates are good and which are not so good? While all carbohydrates ultimately break down to simple sugars, there are good choices you can make. Simple sugars, like refined white sugar in cakes and cookies, are about the worst. Those types of foods have very little nutritional content and are a source of refined sugars, saturated fats and gluten. More complex carbohydrates such as cereals and flours still have the potential to feed yeast, as the body breaks them down to simple sugars. Fruits, while considered healthy by virtue of their vitamin and mineral content, still have the potential to feed yeast, and should be restricted in Lyme patients, especially those with known yeast overgrowth, and those on antibiotics.

The carbohydrates I suggest people eat come from vegetables such as broccoli, green leafy veggies, and salads. These foods are health-giving, come directly from nature, and are full of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. They also are high in fiber, which slows their transit through the intestines and provides roughage to ensure healthy bowel movements.

Another thing many people do not realize is the impact eating sugar has on the immune system. One teaspoon of sugar has been found to suppress immunity for up to 16 hours. So if a person eats a high sugar diet, their immune system is never working at full steam. The bacterial infection of Lyme disease is already known for putting a clamp down on the immune system, so it is important that we do not make food choices to further that detrimental effect.

These are just two examples of how food can directly impact symptomatology for a Lyme disease sufferer, and how food can be used to aid the recovery process from Lyme. The Lyme Diet™ goes into extensive detail about how to eat to balance hormones, recover the adrenals, minimize inflammation and keep the digestive system happy in the face of extensive antibiotic regimens.

Food is medicine. It sustains us, nourishes us, and can heal us. It should be one of the most important factors in the treatment program of someone with Lyme disease. Unfortunately, even with the best intentions, many people just do not know what the optimal diet is for them. With Lyme-brain, it is almost impossible to wade through the plethora of available diets and information without becoming overwhelmed. The Lyme Diet™ aims to make such information more accessible and easy to understand.

I believe that the body has an incredible power of self-healing. It knows what it needs to heal – sometimes we just need to get out of the way and remove the obstacles to healing. In a nutritional sense, that means taking away the foods that bring the body down and supplying it with healthy vibrant raw materials that it can use to produce strong immune cells, healthy neurons and strong muscle fibers.

Candida overgrowth can be a significant barrier to weight loss. Candida is a naturally occurring yeast in the intestinal tract, and is vital for healthy digestion. However, when Candida overgrowth occurs, it can create problems, both with digestive function (gas, bloating etc) and more systemically with fatigue, headaches, brain fog and so on.

In looking at the association between Candida and weight gain, the first thing we need to examine is the fuel source for yeast (and subsequently Candida). Yeast feeds off sugar – that is its preferred fuel source. Subsequently an individual with a hefty yeast overgrowth is going to crave sugars and carbs, as that is what the yeast is craving.

Part of the dilemma is that the sugar/ carb phenomenon is a catch-22. Yeast feeds off sugar, so a diet high in sugars and carbs will perpetuate Candida overgrowth; and yet Candida overgrowth will set of cravings for more sugars and carbs. See how this might be a hard cycle to break?

Furthermore, yeast will crave not only sugar, but more yeast. What is alcohol? Sugar and yeast. And a bunch of empty calories. I know many individuals who crave wine or beer – not because they have a drinking problem – but because they have a yeast overgrowth and they’re predisposed to that because of it. High yeast foods can be a trigger also – vinegars, mushrooms, breads to name just a few.

Anti-fungal treatment can often help curb cravings for sugars, carbs and alcohol, and these are three things that will be very helpful in maintaining a healthy weight. Also, treating yeast overgrowth can help reduce intestinal bloating which makes one more feel more rotund, even if it’s not true body fat. Addressing yeast overgrowth will also boost energy levels making exercise a more viable and appealing proposition.

Candida overgrowth also compromises proper absorption of nutrients. It is associated with “leaky gut”, which means the gap between the intestinal cells widens. This then leads to nutrients not being well absorbed, as well as larger-than-normal food molecules escaping into the blood stream triggering immune reactions and inflammation.

Addressing Candida overgrowth can be done through diet, although even the most rigid anti-Candida diets are rarely enough to eradicate the problem. The more balanced option is moderate dietary modifications, coupled with anti-fungal remedies, which can range from herbal medicines all the way through to strong prescription medicines. Many people find that once yeast overgrowth is addressed, cravings for sugars and carbs are reduced and weight loss is much easier.

Accelerated tissue repair and regeneration? Reduced inflammation? Dramatic reduction in pain?

If these things sound appealing to you, you will be interested in the Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy, now offered at RestorMedicine.

An Introduction to PEMF

I was first introduced to PEMF through one of the top integrative medicine physicians in the country, Gary Gordon, MD, who utilizes it in his practice. I researched further and it sounded almost too good to be true, so I wanted to try it out. I met with a representative from the company for a demo.

My ongoing issue is Achilles tendonitis, and despite copious amounts of physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, podiatric therapy, surgery etc etc (yes I’ve done it all) – I just couldn’t get on top of it. Of course I’m also stubborn and don’t like to go without running, so that doesn’t help!

I had one session of PEMF, and the next morning, I woke up with no stiffness (which would be typical), was able to walk completely normally, and had no pain. No pain. Just to test it out (I said I was stubborn), I went and ran five miles. No pain. Incredible!! I could feel my Achilles, but it was definitely more awareness than pain. I rated it a 2/10 where normally for me I would be at a 7/10-8/10 after a run. I was pretty blown away.

So I tested it on more guinea pigs (a.k.a. friends) and lo and behold, it lived up to my hopes; I have found it to be truly incredible. There was no question whether I wanted to bring it into our practice and offer it to our patients.

Some Things PEMF Can Help With

• Repair damaged and diseased tissue
• Repair torn tendons and fractured bones
• Increase cellular level of oxygen absorption up to 200%
• Enhance protein synthesis in the cells
• Improve circulation
• Reduce pain, swelling and inflammation
• Cause a more alkaline pH
• Induce healthy electrical conduction around cells allowing great passage of nutrients in/ toxins out
• Work as a catalyst to increases bone density and muscle mass
• Promote the detoxification process
• Support neurological regeneration

How PEMF Is Used

PEMF is used extensively with athletes for enhanced recovery and performance, and to treat sports-related injuries, but it also has great application in chronic illness, especially in pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia and chronic Lyme disease. It can be used as a whole body treatment or on localized areas (including for headaches/ migraines). Often we will do a whole body treatment first, to charge up and energize every cell, then work on specific areas of pain. Ten sessions are recommended for lasting healing, but often people notice improvement within just one or two. I am still pain-free, for the first time in years.

I am so excited to be able to offer this to my patients, as chronic pain and chronic fatigue are two things I see so often and want to be able to help. And as an athlete, I have experienced first hand its power to heal!! It’s also quite affordable at $45 per session or $300 for a series of 10. Treatments take no more than 20 minutes, and have no adverse effects. Call us today to book your first session and experience it for yourself. This is truly the future of pain relief!!

Metabolic Typing® is the scientific methodology for customized nutrition and is based on the fact that there is no universally healthy diet that is right for all people. We are all biochemically unique metabolic individuals that have different nutrition needs.

Metabolic Typing® is a highly effective, personalized nutrition program based on over 30 years of research, representing the combined efforts of the some of the leading medical researchers – Weston Price, DDS, Francis Pottenger, MD, Royal Lee, DDS, Roger Williams, PhD, William Donald Kelly, DDS, and William Wolcott.

Everyone is Unique

Did you know that you are actually very different, biochemically speaking, from every other person in the world? Your body’s biochemical makeup is as unique as your fingerprints! Your body processes food and utilizes nutrients in its own unique way, based on genetics, biochemical makeup, family history and your own interaction with the environment.

As an example, Traditional Eskimos thrive on very large quantities of meat and fat. While people born in the tropics stay healthy eating fruits and grains and other light vegetarian fare. For decades, scientists have observed that people who eat according to their genetically based dietary needs have virtually no incidence of cancer, heart disease, or any other degenerative ailments.

Why does Metabolic Typing work?

Metabolic Typing® is based on fundamental biochemical truths that are applied to each unique individual based on their inherent genetic strengths and weaknesses, coupled with environmental and lifestyle influences.

What works for one person has little to no effect on another, and can often make a third person even worse!

Once you know your Metabolic Type, you will begin to choose the right “body fuel” – foods, food combinations and nutrients that will enable your body to function at peak efficiency. When you begin to eat right for your type, your metabolism will move towards balance, facilitating a healthy weight for you.

Unlike standardized nutrition, metabolic typing addresses underlying biochemical imbalances on an individual basis with a high degree of precision and specificity. Metabolic Typing® is a groundbreaking technology that takes the guesswork out of nutrition.

The computerized Metabolic Typing® system that determines YOUR Metabolic Type is the most accurate and comprehensive program for individualized, customized nutrition available today.

What Can You Expect from Your Customized Diet Program?

• Elimination of sweet craving
• Slowing down the aging process
• Achieving your ideal weight

Introducing the RestorDetoxification Program

After months of careful formulation and design, we are pleased to introduce the RestorDetoxification Program. Whether you just need a spring clean to boost your energy or shed a few pounds, or you are suffering from a chronic illness that taxes all your body’s systems, a detoxification program can be a powerful tool to boost your health.

Our bodies, although perfect in design, were never designed for what they are subjected to today. We live in a polluted environment – our food, drink and even the air we breathe are all contaminated with chemicals and pollutants. Our bodies also produce toxins naturally as they carry out our normal biochemical and metabolic processes.

Typically, our liver handles this toxic stress by cleaning up the blood and lymph, engulfing toxins and secreting enzymes to break them down. Then other organs are responsible for getting toxins out of the body, such as the kidneys, bowels, lungs and skin.

Either a higher than normal load of toxins coming in, or sluggish liver or bowel function, can cause the detox systems to get backed up. When that happens, feelings of good health and vitality go out the window, and negative symptoms emerge, such as muscle aches and pains, headaches, low energy, brain fog, skin rashes, weight gain, and hormone imbalance (the liver detoxifies our hormones so if the liver is not processing efficiently, the hormones go awry).

Natural Approaches to Detoxification

There are two ways to help this problem. The first is to minimize the input of chemicals that generate toxicity. This can be done nutritionally by eating “clean” food and water – organic produce, free-range organic meats and poultry, filtered water etc. Avoiding prescription medications where possible is helpful, as well as being cognizant of air quality and trying to avoid smog, industrial pollution and car exhausts.

The second way is to support the body’s detoxification pathways. We do this by giving nutrients that upregulate liver function, supporting the enzyme pathways that turn harmful toxins into benign substances. Then we support the “output” channels, making sure bowel function is optimized so that metabolites of toxins can be excreted.

Detox at RestorMedicine

The RestorDetoxification Program has been carefully designed to address these two aspects. A detailed nutritional program that avoids common allergens and inflammatory and toxic foods addresses the “toxins in” part, minimizing the toxic stress on the body, and giving the system a chance to rest and rejuvenate.

The “toxins out” part is addressed with a pleasant-tasting protein shake with added micronutrients to support Phase I and Phase II liver detox pathways, combined with a fiber blend to support healthy bowel function. Depending on individual need, we may combine anti-parasite and anti-Candida remedies and more advanced liver support, along with probiotics to promote healthy gut flora, as part of the cleansing process.

We also offer powerful treatments that increase the potency of any detox program, including ionic footbaths, far infra-red saunas, vibration plate therapy for lymphatic cleansing, and pulsed electromagnetic frequency therapy for recharging the cellular batteries and promoting healthy exchange of nutrients in, and toxins out, of each and every cell.

A detoxification program ranging from 8 to 21 days can provide a good “kick start” to better health, increasing energy levels, shedding excess pounds, and boosting immune function. It can also be used as a deeply healing tool for those with chronic illness. Our bodies have the wisdom to heal themselves – sometimes the best thing we can do is remove as many of the obstacles to healing as possible.

Call us today at (619) 546-4065 or email info@restormedicine.com for information on the RestorDetoxification Program.
