It’s Hard To Know If You’ve Got It

An attack of candida is not easy to diagnose properly and even your local health professional is prone to treating for something completely unrelated.

Being Candid About Candida

An outbreak of candida can reveal itself in many places and it can also be hidden and therefore much more difficult to diagnose.

There are a number of supplements that contain high doses of good bacteria all known collectively as probiotics.

How looking your best this Christmas starts from the inside

December is notoriously known for being a month that is packed full of social commitments. Whether it’s an office party, a suave dinner at a fancy restaurant or a mini break away, no doubt you’ll have already started to think about what to wear in order to look your best.

Beating Fatigue This Winter

When the weather is less than desirable outside and the temperatures plummet, its little wonder that all most of us feel like doing is getting into comfy pyjamas, grabbing a fleecy blanket and hibernating until the spring arrives.

Some Suggestions To Treat Candida



Most people suffer yeast infections called thrush or candida at some time in their lives. They can be found in the mouth as oral thrush and nappy rash in babies is also a cause of this fungus.

You may ask yourself what is candida and if I have got it how can it be treated?  You could go to your doctor and get a prescription.  However, would it not be better to treat it naturally? Prescription drugs often have side effects whereas natural remedies in the form of dietary supplements are wholly natural.

When the yeast overgrowth occurs, your intestinal tract is already out of balance.  This, in turn will lead to your immune system being compromised.  This is already evident, because the yeast fungus was allowed to take over.

Of what is candida now started with an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in your intestinal tract.  The overgrowth will produce toxins.  Candida can be anywhere in or on the body.  You can find it under nails under the moist area of the breast and, of course, in your private parts too.

The fungus overgrowth was caused in the first place because the intestines became oxygen poor.  There are natural dietary supplements available that deliver oxygen to the deprived areas.  Alternatively you may want to try a supplement with probiotics.

Probiotic, unlike antibiotic, means prolife and probiotics do pretty much the same as oxygenating products.  This means they will deliver  beneficial bacteria to replace the oxygen loving bacteria that have died off.

You may have to take these supplements for a little while, as the healing process is gradual.  Having said that, some people get relief of their symptoms pretty quickly, whilst in others the process takes longer.  The reason for this is that no immune system is the same. 

In older people it may take a while because as we get older our immune responses decline.  You should know that yeast infections are more common after the menopause.  There are minimal natural side effects in taking these supplements.

NADH 20 mg - The Finchley Clinic

Respiration is the breakdown of energy (food) molecules in order to gain energy. Your body is constantly respiring to absorb nutrients and minerals from the food that you take in to separate them from the waste products that aren’t needed by your body. In order for the mitochondria- the organelle responsible for respiration in the body, to do this effectively and efficiently it needs an adequate supply of Oxygen and NADH, which is basically hydrogen in a useable form. Usually we take in traces of NADH from the food that we eat on a day to day basis; however this is a very fractional amount. 

There are now products available to purchase online that make it possible for you to boost the levels of NADH in your body to speed up the process of aerobic respiration and assist with food breakdown. This will contribute to maintaining a healthy and efficient digestive system. This is possible by taking a supplement such as NADH 20mg, available directly from The Finchley clinic. Although, it is worth noting that you should always consult your doctor before taking supplements if you are on daily medication or are pregnant, or thinking about becoming pregnant.

It has also been suggested that taking NADH can contribute to the improvement of your overall health, but in particular, your cardiac health too, since your heart and your brain use up the most energy of all of your organs. They would therefore also benefit from a boost of NADH to enable them to function more efficiently. NADH also assists nearly 1000 enzymes within our body, meaning that not only will your cardiac health improve, but so should your digestive health. Enzymes work together to act upon specific types of molecules, so for example, lipase enzymes will break down fats, whilst protease ones will break down proteins into single amino acids that can then be utilised by the body. If NADH is readily available in the digestive system, then metabolism should increase meaning that food will be broken down more quickly to release more energy in a shorter space of time. This in turn should result in you feeling more energetic as a person and leave you ready to face whatever is in store for you that day. Imagine feeling on top form instead of being lethargic and disinterested, this can be achieved by taking NADH supplements.

Tablets that contain NADH should be taken by placing one under your tongue and allowing it to dissolve, as chewing or swallowing the tablet whole may affect the tablet’s ability to work to its highest capacity. For the majority of people taking NADH, one tablet is sufficient, however up to 6 tablets may be dissolved if your unique complaint calls for it.

Collagen And Dorian Gray

The Ancient Egyptians and later the Greeks had an obsession about something we now might call the elixir of youth; a magic potion that stops us growing old.

Well the bad news is that just like alchemy and the idea you can manufacture gold it’s all just a myth.

We do know that a protein called collagen that makes up a third of all our protein in skin, bones tendons and muscles diminishes as we get older and if we could replace it we might not live forever but we could at least look better for it.

The natural loss of collagen is recognized in older people with wrinkles in the skin and felt with aching joints. It can also be a sign of osteoarthritis as it is particularly important in connective tissue,

Many elderly people succumb to back pain and sciatica and with osteoporosis the fluid between vertebras in the discs diminishes. Collagen creams are popular with many women that feel rubbing it into the skin and particularly the face will delay skin ageing but there is some doubt about this and it may just act as a placebo.

On the other hand collagen tablets do seem to help people with aching joints and arthritis as it appears to benefit a better blood circulation throughout the body.



Some recent research suggests that elderly people taking these tablets have quicker healing wounds like minor cuts and this supports the theory that their blood circulation is healthier.

Every generation lives longer on average than the one before and much of this has to do with medical science. To lose a child one hundred years ago to small pox or measles was not so uncommon but with inoculation these and many other diseases have all but been irradiated.

With lung and heart transplants now almost commonplace there is a theory that not too far into the future we will be able to be kept alive almost indefinitely.

On the other hand without mastering the replacement of collagen a three hundred year old person may have a healthy replacement heart and lungs but a face like a dried prune.

Three Bacteria To The Rescue

Some people grab any food when they feel hungry and are not in the least bit choosey about whether it’s considered junk or not.

For them a life of fast foods and takeaways with a couple of cans of fizzy drink or beer is just a means to an end; the end being a fuller stomach and satiated hunger pangs.

Others enjoy preparing and cooking fresh food daily and have an interest in presentation of their achievements. This last group are more likely to have thought about what a good and balanced diet should be but the majority of all types of consumers have very little detailed knowledge of what happens when the food is swallowed.

It’s chewed and mixed with the first of the many different enzymes produced and released in careful measure by the pancreas and then pushed towards the stomach where a churning motion spins it in acid before it enters the duodenum at the top of the small intestine.
Here other enzymes help reduce the acidity of the chyme that the stomach can deal with but not the intestinal lining.

The longest part of the journey is along the small intestine where bacteria help the process. Supplements such as Threelac become active here and give a boost of extra useful bacteria whilst having the side effect of loosening any sticky slow moving waste.



Since ancient times the importance of a clean colon has been understood and the connection between a sluggish one and various mild and if left untreated, major ailments was made.

As the name of the product implies there are three active bacteria introduced into the small intestine and many billions at a time. This boost of essential bacteria has helped many people over the years with digestive problems from bloating to constipation and many related difficulties.

If the small but long intestine is the processor that reduces it all to nutrients to be absorbed through the lining of the wall it’s the large but much shorter intestine that slows it all down as it extracts water.

Is It Candida?

Candida seems to be a buzzword in recent years. It appears that everyone and their dog have a candida infection, and this might not be too far from the truth. It’s extremely common. Here, we're going to take a look at some of the common symptoms of candida. If you have any of the following, then you should consider treatment for a candida infection.

Candida symptoms are many and varied. The majority of people know the key candida symptoms, but we will consider them anyway, just in case you don’t.


1.       Fungal infections: numerous fungal infections can indicate an overabundance of candida. Common infections include thrush, athlete’s foot, and jock’s itch.

2.       Cognitive dysfunction: this is a common symptom of modern life, and more often than not, it is caused by something other than the candida yeast. However, if you experience difficulties in concentration, memory problems, and brain fog, then candida could be the culprit. A short treatment should let you know whether this is the case, or not.

3.       Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia: these are two of the hardest ailments to treat, and it’s because they have so many different causes. For example, CFS has been linked to a condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. It’s estimated that up to 20% of people with CFS have IIH. We understand that these illnesses lead people around in circles looking for a cure. However, candida treatment is worth a try. It may account for up to 5% of cases, and you never know, you may be one of the lucky ones who find their answer with candida.

4.       Skin problems: there are a number of common skin complaints linked to the candida infection. These include eczema, acne, hives, and psoriasis. Again, it is not a catch all category, merely that some of the time the solution is to treat a candida infection.


Probiotics: What Is Their Role In the Human Body?

Probiotics are everywhere. They live throughout the human body. You can find them in your digestive system, your ears, your eyes, on your skin, almost everywhere. They play a range of extremely important functions throughout the body. Below, we are going to explore the various roles that probiotics play in our overall good health.

First, we would like to explain more about where they come from. From the earliest points of conception, probiotics are present. They live alongside us in the womb, and help to provide us with lifelong protection against a number of ailments. We also find them in our food, particularly dairy foods. We can even supplement our probiotic fauna with things such as Biocare Products.

So, what role do they play in the human body?
1.They aid in digestion: we have trillions of microorganisms living in our guts. These probiotics play numerous roles here, including:

a.Helping to break our food down so that our bodies can easily absorb nutrients and minerals.

b.Consuming dangerous by-products from the food we eat and from unfriendly microorganisms. For instance, certain types of probiotic consume sulphur. This gas can cause bloating and awful smelling flatulence, but these probiotics eradicate much of it.

c.Kill off dangerous parasites that might live in the digestive tract. As long as we have a reasonable amount of probiotics, they can fight off invaders who would like to use our bodies for nefarious purposes.

2.They form part of our immune system: probiotics help to protect us against a range of outside forces. In particular, they fight off infections caused by microorganisms. For instance, Biocare products contain probiotics that help to fight off the candida yeast infection, which is responsible for thrush.



Although this doesn't appear to be an incredibly exhaustive list, the role they play is invaluable. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to process our food properly, and we wouldn’t be able to fight off infections. In other words, without them, we would die.

So, why do they help us out? Because we provide them with an environment where they can live safely. We have had this relationship with microorganisms since the beginnings of life itself, our own, and life in general.
