The 10 Strongest Antifungal Foods For Cleansing Candida

1. Coconut

Coconut is on this list because it contains a healthy fat called caprylic acid. Caprylic acid is a medium chain fatty acid (also known as MCT). If you’ve heard of MCT oil or MCT fats before, that’s what caprylic acid is.

Caprylic acid is a natural cleanser. Studies show it can stop bad bacteria and yeast from replicating.

Organic fatty acids like MCTs have been used literally since 2,800 B.C. (meaning 4,800 years ago) for their antifungal and antimicrobial properties. That’s why soap was traditionally made from fats and why we use still use them today to clean things.

But it was only in 1961 that scientists in Japan discovered these MCT fats had other uses besides cleaning or washing our hands. That is, you can take them orally to help cleanse yeast & bad bacteria (and other bad flora) from your gut.

I’ve been recommending coconut milk and coconut oil for almost 20 years now.

Back then people thought I was crazy! One doctor said to me, "You're nuts giving people coconut oil. You'll get heart disease from it. It contains saturated fat!"

Now of course we know coconut is healthy. We know fresh butter is good and margarine isn't. And guess what? That same doctor now many years later is recommending coconut oil as well.

People have been eating coconuts for thousands of years. Coconut oil is a saturated fat, but it’s not like animal fat. It’s a plant-based saturated fat. This fat gets absorbed in the small bowel & doesn’t cause greasy stools like other oils can.

When buying coconut oil, choose one that’s been minimally processed. Look for cold-pressed or virgin coconut oil. One tablespoon a day is enough.

If you decide to get a supplement that contains caprylic acid, make sure the label also lists "undecenoic acid" & "betaine HCL." These 3 ingredients amplify each other. Combine them and you'll get a stronger cleansing effect. 

Also never buy coconut oil cookies or other cheap coconut oil products you find in the supermarket. Most of these contain coconut oil that's hydrogenated & can slow down recovery.
