I believe that candida albicans fungus infestation is the most undetected and misunderstood health disease problem in the world. That is why this BULLETIN will explain some further important information on the ravages of the fungus, other parasites, plus causes, testing, avoidance, diet, and much more.
Lat week, I did not have enough room to explain the symptoms and other details about the candida fungus. Eighty percent of all candida victims do not even feel or know they have a candida OVERGROWTH. This is why treatment of candida is not detected until the symptoms of disease appear. Even when the outside symptoms, such as thrush, vaginitis, or toenail fungus, etc., appear, physicians pass it off as a little problem. Believe me, it is far from a small problem, but a very serious problem. The results of candida fungus OVERGROWTH and other parasites are the cause of a great many diseases in the human body, possible even cancer.
People need to know that the bacteria in your gut (over 25 trillion) work together to function as a body organ. The 800+ species of good bacteria, molds, fungus, and parasite ratio to bad bacteria, molds, fungus, and some parasites (including candida) ratio is 80 percent good to 20 percent bad. The ratio may even get to 70-30 or even lower in some severe cases. These bacteria are present in most, if not all of the biological processes that involve our health and or sickness. They control our immune system, the endocrine, lymphatic systems, nervous system, and even communicate with the brain. An example of brain communication is when people eat a lot of candy. They get a candy craving in the brain that says, feed me, feed me.
When a bad diet including excess sugar, sugar derivatives, refined and processed foods, boiled omega 6 grocery shelf oils, and other dead non-electromagnetic foods are consumed, it changes the ratio to the bad side. When the bad bacteria , molds, and parasite ratio becomes more than 20 percent, excess toxins are formed that create inflammation in the small intestine. This is the start of disease in a person’s body. The results of this process will begin to create a CASCADE of diseases.
To function properly, a person’s gut needs some good bacteria plus the bad ones. When the microbes become more “bad,” the term “gut dysbiosis” describes the bacteria imbalance which leads to disease. When the fungus toxins invade one part of a person’s body, these toxins cause changes to other parts. the effects occur with various symptoms and diseases.
The problems affecting women can be vaginitis, reduced sex drive, menstrual problems, memory loss, depression, headaches, fatigue, and abdominal bloating. They also can have joint pain, allergies, sinus problems, bladder infections, plus other infections. Women usually develop more fungal problems then men. Many of these are probably due to hormonal imbalances.
In children, candida infestation can invade the nervous system. From there, it can affect the attention span, behavior, and create learning problems. There also is a connection between candida fungus and autistic children. Irritable bowel syndrome is also a serious children’s disorder.
Ninety percent of all preventive and alternative physicians are very concerned about over prescribing antibiotics and other drugs. Research shows that antibiotics are needed to quell many infections but they destroy as many good bacteria as bad ones in a person’s gut. Preventive physicians advise doctors to only prescribe when necessary, They also advise physicians and dentists to make available or advise taking live lactobacillus acidophilus. Many acidophilus forms are not very efffective. Alternative physicians prescribe a refrigerated powered form. They say people should mix and swish with water before swallowing because the colonies need to be built up in the mouth and throat. It is good to always keep live acidophilus in the refrigerator to maintain healthy cultures. The proper dosage of powdered acidophilus is to take 1/4th teaspoon of powder in water 4 times daily. Swish it around in the mouth before swallowing it. Good acidophilus is always refrigerated.
The Diet, Supplements, and Minerals needed to eliminate Candida OVERGROWTH.
Raw omega 3 fatty acids (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) are one of the most important items needed to eliminate and get rid of the excess candida fungus. Over 50 percent of all people in the United States are deficient in these fatty acids. People should get at least one and one half tablespoons of these omega 3 fatty acids every day. Examples are flaxseed oil, Udo’s choice, cold raw northern seed oils, fish oil, krill oil, cod liver oil, and raw processed avacado oil. Extra virgin olive oil, if left on open shelves in the grocery store, may not be as effective if not refrigerated. Other candida preventive and elimination items are caprylic acid tablets, turmeric, eight to eleven fresh fruits and vegetables (in salads or fresh cut) every day, four to five cloves of fresh squeezed garlic, psyllium, bentonite, wormwood capsules, and Dr. Clarke’s “intestinal edge.” A great purge that my wife and I use is 6 wormwood capsules a day between meals, plus Dr. Clarkes “intestinal edge (one half teaspoon two to three times a day between meals) for two weeks every six months. We also follow the eating and supplement guidelines.
As mentioned before, try to stay away as much as possible from bread, milk, sugar, sugar derivatives, desserts, (unless non sugar), deep fried foods, prepared meats such as sausage, and weiners. Also reduce omega 6 oils except for coconut oil, palm oil, and butter for cooking.
These procedures need to be life long measures to prevent a buildup of candida fungus and keep an 80 to 20 ratio of good bacteria to bad bacteria in the small intestine. Continued use of these suggestions will also help extend a person’s longevity.
Many supplements are also very important in preventing and curing candida fungus overgrowth. Vitamins C, D3, CoQ10, magnesium, zinc, turmeric, and for older people, calcium are great supplements.
There are many tests available that naturopaths, physicians, and nutritionists use to check for candida overgrowth. I suggest that if a person thinks they have a candida overgrowth, they should visit a naturopath or these other professionals. If a person follows the diet suggestions listed above, they may not need to have these tests, although a candida purge every six months is still the best way to stay safe. If a person does have any of the autoimmune or other disease symptoms, they may be ready for the candida purge, and change of diet.
One other great help to prevent candida fungus overgrowth is to eat a wide variety of fermented foods. They reduce the levels of free radicals in a person’s body, plus increase the number and variety of good bacteria. A greater diversity of good bacteria is very helpful. Foods such as Kimchi, saurkraught, pickled beets, kombucha, miso, tempeh, and other pickled vegetables (with no sugar) are great assets for the gut biome. They need to be taken in small amounts once or twice daily.
Because of the wide variety of diseases that candida is involved with, it should be THE GREATEST CONCERN in every person’s life. There is no other disease factor that is so important. This is why every person needs to concentrate on their diet if they want to stay free of disease and live a long, healthy, vibrant, and energetic life.

Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. graduated from the University Of Washington School Of Dentistry in 1957. After two years of service in the Air Force, he started a private practice in East Wenatchee, Washington. For the past 45 years his practice has included Orthodontics and TM Dysfunction treatment specializing in temporomandibular pain treatment, headache, head and neck pain control, functional jaw orthopedics, and straight wire orthodontics. Associated with mercury elimination, oral surgery, crowns and bridges is TMJ treatment, diet control, parasite elimination, intestinal cleansing and healing (wellness).
Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. has taught advanced courses for dentists on TM Dysfunction treatment, orthodontics and related pain control for more than 30 years. In 1972 he was the first dentist in Washington to use straight wire orthodontics and the first dentist to correct vertical deficiencies in children by placing vertical dimension-primary molar buildups and/or vertical (erupting) appliances. Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. was involved with the first group of dentists to recognize lateral tongue splinting in young infants and integrate functional and fixed techniques to correct vertical dimension deficiencies and condylar placement. He is the originator of vertical dimension-primary molar build ups, which help to correct deep bites and Otitus media in children. He invented the Loudon-Chateau Anterior Repositioning Appliance, the functional muscle malocclusion concept, the twelve commandments of occlusion and the vertical overbite domino rule. Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. has written numerous articles in several American and foreign dental journals and has lectured in over 50 cities and 7 foreign countries on functional jaw orthopedics, fixed wire orthodontics, Otitus media treatment and TM Dysfunction treatment. He has been instrumental in setting up criteria for teaching in the International Association For Orthodontics, including the certified instructor program.
Dr. Loudon is a member of The American Dental Association, Diplomat and Senior Instructor in the International Association for Orthodontics, and is a Diplomat of the American Academy of Pain Management. He also is a member of the American Orthodontic Society.
