Bees (Yes, the Buzzing Ones) Against Candida!
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
Let's discuss Candida... and bees.
Sinus congestion and gut problems (e.g., gas, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation) typically suggest an overgrowth of fungus. But as women know, repeatedly taking antibiotics makes fungal infections like Candida worse. And repeated use of antibiotics is why sinusitis becomes chronic.
A study published in the Mayo Clinic Journal showed that over 90% of chronic sinusitis cases are caused by fungal issues. And many, if not most, people with these kinds of gut issues also have an imbalance of excess Candida.
There is no reliable test for these outside of the research lab. So instead, people need to try balancing their Candida to see if it helps. My preference for doing this is the medication Diflucan (200 mg a day for six weeks). Unfortunately, many people have trouble getting a prescription for this from their physician, and natural products just didn’t do the job.
Bees to the Rescue!
Bees have been making a resin-like material from the buds of cone-bearing tress for eons. Called propolis, they use it to build and protect their honey hives from infections and biofilms. Now dozens of studies are suggesting it also provides health benefits to humans in the form of a nutritional supplement. And it turns out that taking propolis in combination with berberine and a good probiotic provides an effective and natural way to keep numerous unhealthy bugs in check!

Optical Illusion: Teach and Learn
Notice the word that forms in the mirrored reflection of the word "Learn" below. Not sure that this is an actual optical illusion, because there isn't really a lot of illusion going on. But it is an amazingly coincidental effect.
