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
oral thrush food allergies, bowel disorder, ear and sinus irritation,
intense itching, jock itch, athletes foot, gastrointestinal problems,
canker sores, ringworm, and 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 carbs) 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.
Garlic and Yucca Juice Extracts: Known as Russian
penicillin, Garlic is considered to be nature's premier antibiotic
and anti-fungal. It is effective against bacteria and yeast that
may be resistant to antimicrobial medications yet does not destroy
the body's normal, friendly flora.
A potent blood purifier, the juice from the Yucca root found
predominantly in the desert Southwest aids in digestion and produces
surfactants which help to breakdown the lipid envelope that coats
certain viruses and fungi including
Candida. Ancient Wisdom - Fermentation The ancient
Greeks understood that important chemical changes took place during
fermentation. Their name for this change was "alchemy".
The whole food ingredients in Fungal Defense, are lacto-fermented
and enzymatically pre-digested, utilizing a proprietary natural
process called Poten-Zyme (Potentiation by Enzymatic activation).
This ancient method of bio- fermentation incorporates 14 strains
of beneficial micro-organisms and their enzymes into the foods,
gently breaking them down into their most basic elements.
Fermentation creates and liberates valuable medicinal compounds
within the foods including enzymes, antioxidants, beta glucans,
phytosterols, and other phytonutrients - greatly enhancing the
nutritional value while making it easier to digest. This assures
more complete absorption and delivery of nutrients at the cellular
level.

Suggested Use: Begin this 14-day program with
1 caplet before bed on an empty stomach with 8 oz. of purified
water. Increase by 1 caplet each day until you reach 8 caplets
per day in divided doses first thing in the morning and before
bed. Remain on 8 caplets per day for 7 days.
Follow Up: Because the key to balancing yeast
overgrowth is to maintain healthy intestinal flora, we highly
recommend that after completion of the 14-day Fungal Defense program,
begin taking Primal Defense™ HSO probiotic formula 6-12 caplets
per day for 3-6 months and reduce to a maintenance dosage as per
label instructions.
