Advice from the Banana Girl: How to cure your candida and STDs in one week

Eat less fat, more carbs: She follows and advises a low fat, vegan lifestyle that includes a variety of fruits including – you guessed it – bananas, mangoes, oranges and melon.

Can managing – possibly even curing – candida be a matter of incorporating more fruit in our diet?
According to an internet health powerhouse known as the Banana Girl (a.k.a. Freelee Frugivore) the
answer is a resounding “yes.” In one of her many YouTube videos, she explains how she overcame
candida and the side effects that came along with it in one week simply by consuming more fruits
and fewer fats. She successfully maintains this lifestyle today and not only has a properly
functioning system, but a significant amount of health-minded followers.

Cure candida with fruit?

“Increase the amount of fruit, increase the amount of carbohydrates and get the fat low,” she says.
She informs people that they can enjoy all the fruit they want, assuring them that their candida
levels will not be compromised, but rather, restored to balance. She acknowledges that while this
may seem contradictory to those who advocate eating less fruit and lowering carbohydrate intake,
depriving us of such foods can lead to weight gain and further interruption of the candida balance
in our system. Supplements too, she states, are not necessary.

She advises keeping fat intake to 10% of daily calories or less and carbohydrates at a minimum of 80%
of our daily caloric intake. To determine if you are staying within the parameters of this formula,
the Banana Girl recommends visiting http://cronometer.com/, a free site that provides detailed analyses
of a daily diet including carbohydrate, lipid and calorie intake all based on height, weight and gender input.

Choose a food and stick with it: For individuals experiencing severe symptoms, she says they may
benefit from “a trip to mono fruit island,” a principle that suggests eating one kind of food for a certain
length of time can keep fat around 5% of daily calories.

Candida: We’ve heard of it, but what is it exactly?

Candida is a fungal infection caused by an imbalance or overgrowth of yeast in the body, typically at
moist areas. Twenty species of Candida yeasts can cause infection in people, but the most common is
known as Candida albicans. While some amount is normal and necessary to a properly functioning system, overgrowth of this particular fungus can lead to a host of health problems for both men and women including:

  • Headaches and migraine headaches
  • Skin and nail fungal infections like athlete’s foot, jock itch or ringworm
  • Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
  • Extreme vaginal itching
  • Soreness and redness in vaginal area
  • White, vaginal discharge that resembles cottage cheese
  • Painful intercourse
  • Skin problems like eczema, acne, psoriasis
  • Fatigue
  • Often feeling cold or uncomfortable
  • Endometriosis (chronic pelvic pain)
  • Infertility (female), some miscarriages, toxemia of pregnancy (preeclampsia)
  • Autoimmune disease (lupus, hypothyroidism, arthritis, others)
  • Intense sugar, cheese and alcohol cravings
  • Sleep problems
  • Bloating, flatulence or abdominal pain
  • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • Sexual problems – impotence or lack of desire, or excessive sexuality

So, how can people conquer these symptoms?

The Banana Girl’s advice: How to put her plan into action

The Banana Girl stresses that the goal is not to kill, but control candida because it “can help regulate blood sugar levels.” Plus, she explains that there is a correlation between STDs and candida levels, so adopting a lifestyle based on the less fat, more fruit concept can help diminish health concerns in that regard as well.

On her site, www.bananagirl.com, she writes, “when our pancreas is overworked by a high fat diet, our adrenal glands come to the aid of the pancreas . . . when the adrenals are stressed beyond their ability, the candida microbes comes to the rescue and eat up the excess blood sugar . . . excess sugar in the blood can be life-threatening. The candida saves our life! Hooray for the candida microbe!”
