When I started on my quest to reverse the disorder in my body, I bought books, I combed the internet, I polled others and then I went to work at a health food store where I learned about some of the best cleanses and easiest ways to detox your body.
All of these methods were very effective and brought very little stress to my already stressed out body. The trick is to only eat fruits, vegetables and occasionally fish while you are doing a cleanse. All other foods can take you away from your cleanse and can actually hender your cleansing process. Because I was focused on the yeast cleanse during all of my cleanses I eliminated all sweet fruit and sweet vegetables. Sweet fruit would be oranges, tropical fruits, bananas, peaches, pears, raisins and plums. I mainly eat grapefruit, lemon, lime and any berries. Sweet veggies include carrots and tomatoes. By eliminating the sweet fruits and veggies you help your body cut down on the amount of sugar being processed. Sugar creates havoc all by itself, even the "good" kind, especially in a body full of inflammations. While it is important for me to eliminate the possibility for candida (yeast) to grow it is even more important to me to cut back on any foods that might create inflammations. Inflammations for me means my endometriosis might have a reason to speak up and pain from endo is just not worth the sugar intake for me.
Here is a list of each cleanse I did:
- Yeast cleanse
first because it gave me immediate results (took 5 months to get rid of the candida, but candida is the cause of many of our disorders). For more information on candida you can find it on mercola.com or google it.

DO NOT do any of these cleanses unless you are living a reasonably healthy lifestyle. There are no shortcuts to real health! Taking sudden and extreme action could make you feel worse, not better. A probiotic can help you make it thru the most challenging days of your cleanse. Prepare by taking some time off and make sure that you have the support of your family and friends. This blog is intended to help offer natural, holistic solutions that have helped many and in no way replaces the need for medical attention. If you have an emergency you should always consult your physician. - Sonnes #7
