First and most important, notice and trust
your own natural instincts and intuition about your
body and symptoms. For successful healing
and relief, you must carry this connection to your
intuition with you and use its guidance throughout
the healing process. Most of us recognize our intuition
only in hindsight. When we are aware of intuitive
messages, we often ignore or override them. If we
can’t explain how we “know” something,
we doubt that we really know it. Sound familiar?
Uncovering and using your intuition is one of the
most powerful ways to take charge of your health.
Your body has a natural wiring system that knows
instinctively what “feeds” it by helping
it balance brain chemistry and making you feel good.
What is not a good match because it causes imbalances,
pain, and discomfort.
It takes some time to dig this “knowing”
out from underneath all the clutter of facts, rules,
and expectations that can actually obscure your
true knowledge. It takes practice to trust your
inner guidance. Nevertheless, trusting your intuition
is worth the effort and it’s absolutely essential
to successfully getting relief from yeast related
symptoms.
Try a little experiment. The next time you have
a hunch, write it down and date your notes. It might
range from “The phone rang and I knew it was
Jo before I picked it up,” to “I’m
craving cilantro. I must need some vitamin K, ”
or simply “Something is different in my body
today.” Some of your hunches will be right.
Some will be wrong. But in a week or two, you’ll
actually begin to confirm to yourself that you have
another means of “knowing.”
Second, use the YEASTCONNECTION.COM FIVE
POINT PLAN as a guide for controlling candida and
bringing your system into balance.
The
more you can incorporate The Five Point Plan into
your daily life, the more you help your body return
to balance and maintain health. For a complete review
of the latest research and treatments, see Dr. Crook’s
all new book, The
Yeast Connection and Woman's Health.
However,
overwhelming yourself with too many tasks will be
counterproductive. Use your intuition as you review
the steps to determine which one(s) feels like the
most important or most practical for you to adopt
first. Incorporating any one of these suggestions
into your life is a step in the right direction.
Which tool or suggestion feels like the best match
