Don’t let a hospital stay TAKE YOU DOWN with this secondary infection
Whether it’s in your mouth… your gut… your private parts… or elsewhere…
And whether you’re at home or in a care facility…
A Candida infection can strike without warning.
If you’re already dealing with medical challenges… or your immune system isn’t quite up to snuff… Candida can keep you from getting better.
Among the world’s most common healthcare-associated infections, candidiasis ranks at #4.
But you don’t have to be hooked up to ventilator or catheter to catch it…
Because it can even INFECT your dentures!
Here’s how to stay safe from it, thanks to a substance extracted from a good ol’ folk remedy.
DROWN excessive yeast… in fat!
Castor bean oil, derived from the seeds of the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis), may be best-known for its laxative properties…
But there’s a substance locked away inside this unsaturated omega-9 fat that could SAVE THE DAY when it comes to yeast infections.
It’s called undecanoic acid – and it’s a naturally occurring fatty acid.
Now, MOST organic fatty acids can KILL fungi like Candida and other forms of yeast…
But undecanoic acid appears to be a step above the rest.
Because it’s not a completely FOREIGN substance to your body… as it occurs naturally in small amounts in our bodies, usually in our sweat… it’s LESS likely to irritate you than other fungicides.
That’s why undecanoic acid (in its “salt” form) was the FIRST cure to relieve soldiers’ damp, fungal feet during World War II… without causing too much irritation!
And its power against Candida albicans specifically appears to be three-fold:
- BEATS BACK the virulence of candida organisms by stopping its conversion from a simple, harmless yeast form into a harmful form that’s associated with an active infection (a.k.a. pathogenic)
- BUSTS through biofilms that candida cells create to protect from attack by your immune system or conventional drugs
- DAMAGES the cell walls of candida
Now, you won’t get the undecanoic acid you need by simply drinking castor oil… because you can only obtain it through a special extraction process.
While it’s proven effective when used topically in its salt form… available over-the-counter as a cream or powder… more invasive infections might need you to bring out the big guns.
Fortunately, there are “free acid” capsules of undecanoic acid that you can take orally – and the acid in your stomach actually helps it work BETTER!
You might find it labeled as 10-undecenoic acid, undecylenic acid, or undec-10-enoic acid.
It’s also included as an ingredient in formulas for Candida support and even women’s health… sometimes in combination with another antifungal fatty acid, caprylic acid.
