Secret Knowledge – Series No 2: Candida! Why you should pay attention!
Read in conjunction with our Acidity Article No 1, just released January 2026. As part of my quest to share information and assist you in healing, I am offering a full series of articles on Secret Knowledge to Vibrant Health.
Each article will cover a specific topic to help assist in understanding different conditions, why they occur, how you can help yourself heal and of course products that will align with each topic.
These articles are written as a step-by-step guide to better understand where dis-eases originate from, how you can avoid the consequences and build a better, stronger whole physicality that can withstand any onslaught.
As you may by now know, I am a Dr Hulda Clark manufacturer and distributor of her protocol and products. Why am I such an ardent follower? Simple. The protocols have proven to me, in over 20 years of applications, to work and work well. Thousands of case studies by Dr Clark herself, Shelly Keith (a profound healer in her own right) and now myself.
Her protocols emphasised that the body will respond to healing if we remove overload. This principle remains the foundation of my work today through Herba Farmacy – Natural Healing Modalities and handmade manufactured products. Our purity, quality and superiority of strength is a key ingredient paired with energy work, respect of each component we make use of and the love and care we pride ourselves in when manufacturing.

Research done by Dr Hulda Clark over 80 years ago has been scientifically proven by an Italian doctor – who, by the way, was jailed for proving this theory!
Cancer effectively treated… How? With baking soda, Lugol’s Iodine, diet and herbal detoxes… these are only a few suggestions. Read on…
Shocking research shared by Italian doctor Tulio Simonchini that cancer is a fungus and can be easily treated without invasive chemotherapy and radiation. This new research backs Dr Hulda Clark’s research that cancer is in fact a very treatable condition. It has been our mission for the last 16-odd years to educate and assist the public that cancer and many other dis-eases ARE treatable.
Dr Hulda Clark was way ahead of her time and was treated as an outcast for her findings that all dis-ease originates from toxins, solvents, metal toxicity and acidic systems. High levels of toxins, chemicals etc. are food for parasites, fungi and bacteria. Proof now on the table supports Dr Clark’s findings, and the fact that all her books are titled in some way THE CURE is, in my mind, factual and proven, as it has been from the start of our business.

It is a known fact that in the plant and human world, carcinoma is caused by fungal infections. They carry with them a tumour which weakens the immune system and creates cancer. The toxic load in the system from bad diets, chemical creams/soaps/general chemical household cleansers and poor hygiene is in fact food for these fungi, bacteria and parasites.
The higher the toxic load, the higher the acidic level in the system. Cancer cannot grow in an alkaline system; this is a proven scientific fact.
Every cancer is caused by candida fungus. Acidity is the growing medium candida uses to survive. Candida is rife in society because of our lifestyles and eating habits. We have forgotten the simple ways of living and respecting our beautiful bodies.
By changing lifestyles to a more healthy and balanced energy format, we encourage our bodies to remain strong, young, vibrant and healthy.
Candida infections can be treated and reversed by changing to this healthier lifestyle. You may have noticed that anti-fungal drugs on the market are ineffective in treating fungal infections, because most only attack the surface cells. This is the same with chemo and radiation treatments.
They do not attack the mother cells and destroy them; they work on the surrounding cells and have no issue with killing healthy cells too. Fungi like candida weaken the cells and prevent proper absorption of nutrients as they attack the mucus cells – as an example in the colon, creating leaky gut syndrome. The exhausted immunity can then not stop the system from producing foreign cells: tumours and growths, which are colonies of like-minded abnormal cells.
Candida symptoms can be very debilitating: chronic fatigue, anxiety, nausea, brain fog, mood swings, irrational thinking, skin conditions, digestive disorders and sugar and starch cravings. If left unchecked, candida can lead to candidiasis. In this state it mimics other diseases and makes it very difficult to get to the root cause of any condition. It can cause perforation of the intestines and leaky gut syndrome – intestines that have small holes in them, so protein can attack the blood system and its cells.
Candida albicans is present throughout the body, including the digestive tract, in both women and men. This common type of yeast is naturally present in the body and, if kept in check by our natural system, has only beneficial effects.
These are mainly healthy bacteria in the intestine, but if they are destroyed through poor diet and/or chemicals like antibiotics, we have a yeast that grows exponentially and takes over within a very short time span.

The excessive yeast breaks through linings and travels to areas like the vagina, urinary tract, mouth – basically any dark, warm and moist area in the body. This indicates that the whole body, its cells, organs and skin can be adversely affected.

Most belief structures are that candida is a trivial ailment that can only cause minor infections like vaginal itching and discomfort, or oral infection, even though extremely painful, like thrush. But little is known that candida is associated with a wide number of chronic if not dangerous dis-eases if left untreated, like cervical cancer, heart conditions, hearing impairment, eyesight erosion, brain fog, leaky gut syndrome and IBS to name a few. The candida in situations like intestinal infection drowns out and kills the good bacteria that play a crucial role in strong immune response. By compromising these important protective bacteria, the overgrowth of yeast can set the stage for a heavily compromised immune system, which could lead to rather serious conditions.
In our previous article we spoke at length on acidity – https://naturalhealingsa.com/dealing-acidity/ – and the devastating effects it can have on the whole physical and emotional system. If we look at the scenario of candida plus acidity, we are seeing a very different picture of these so-called benign ailments that can have far-reaching implications of damaging our health.
Yeast grows at a phenomenal rate given the right conditions and can spread throughout the body undetected as an invasive fungus. This fungus has root-like filaments that extend and penetrate all linings in the internal tract in search of food. In this breakthrough method candida can now enter the blood stream and subsequently your tissues and organs as well. The main food for candida is sugar and carbohydrates, alcohol and fizzy carbonated drinks. The fungus feeds on the carbohydrates (sugars and starches) from the diet and, if left undetected, will invade the whole body with damaging consequences. It really doesn’t take much food (sugar and starches) to allow candida to blow out of control. Simple things like overuse of antibiotics have created a resistant strain that normal medication has no impact on.
As these yeast populations explode in the body, cravings for more sugar will be dramatically increased. As the yeast gets fed, the more the system craves sugar, creating a vicious cycle of feed and destroy.

As mentioned in our acidity article, all parasites, fungus and bacteria have by-products. So, in the case of candida, the body is not only battling the candida fungus, but sugar and acidic overload and, to add insult to injury, the by-products from all these unwanted organisms as well.
This puts an immense strain on the body and organs, causing the fight and flight syndrome to occur. The body’s intrinsic make-up will use whatever defences it has at its disposal to remedy the imbalance.
The resultant condition is not only candida, but sugar issues which could morph into diabetes and heart conditions, to name but two.
In most cases, allopathic application, again as discussed in Series No 1, is designed to suppress by the use of antibiotics and the like, which in turn only feeds the candida fungus. This type of medication never sources the root cause of an illness/dis-ease, and that is not the primary goal. Symptom-based application with no avenue to seek root cause leads to many conditions being misdiagnosed. The only way to move from an acidic, immune-depressed system is to look at the root cause.
In the new thought modality of Holistic Health this is what is being done with great success. Why? We are seeing by “peeling the onion layers away” (symptoms and aches and pains), and by using simple techniques like detoxification, balancing acidity, changing eating patterns, dropping junk food and chemicals from our diet and hygiene regimes and aggressively treating conditions like candida, we are achieving results some will call “miraculous”.
Candida is a very real and dangerous condition that should NEVER be ignored. Remember, the body has alarm buttons that it ignites to warn us of imbalance; if we suppress or ignore them, the results could be devastating to health. Controlling candida is really rather simple, but does take your collaboration and earnest willpower, just like acidity, to overcome.


Start by checking your acidity levels and applying some of the principles in the modality (Series No 1). Combating candida is a multi-faceted process that involves killing fungus, preventing new growth, clearing the body of die-off (dead cells of fungus and their by-products) and toxins, and the prevention of future outbreaks.
Remove the food that feeds fungi, bacteria and parasites. A full detox of the system is required, with drastic changes in lifestyle and diet. Sugars, starches and junk food are removed from the diet.
Follow a Candida Diet. Candida is influenced by your diet, so there is no getting away with cheating. Drop all sugars and carbohydrates (which are broken down by the body into simple sugars), sweeteners, wheat, fruit, alcohol, fizzy carbonated drinks and all junk food with preservatives and colorants. The reasoning is we are starving the yeast growth and weakening its cellular structure to then enable us to kill it. Increase your high-fibre products, as these absorb dead cells and toxins and stimulate the colon to expel more efficiently.
Next is to complete a Full Body Detoxification (Ultimate Quick Cleanse Kit or the Traditional Dr Hulda Clark Protocols) with the aid of the Zapper. The Zapper will not only kill off the candida fungus but the parasites that have now overpopulated too. The Zapper also boosts your immune system, as it is designed to supercharge your white blood cells to build and boost immunity to its optimum level.
The full body detox is necessary as – remember – candida breaks through linings, so the whole system will be invaded. In place of the Quick ParaZap, the traditional Herbal Parasite cleanse is necessary, as it contains Green Black Walnut Tincture Extra Strong to kill off the invading candida. As with all detoxes, 2 litres of good quality water is necessary to assist the elimination of toxins.

Supplementation of HCL (Hydrochloric Acid) is to assist your digestion to operate at the correct acidic level and ensure all food is broken down completely and expelled within 4 hours. It is a normal side effect of candida that the stomach acid is compromised. The second step here is to supplement with a very good probiotic like Rafaa, which will re-populate the gut and intestine/colon with good bacteria and assist in better absorption of nutrients consumed.
A die-off reaction is to be expected as the Candida albicans is killed and releases its by-products and toxins into the blood stream. Symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, headaches, body aches and flu-like symptoms are absolutely normal. Further symptoms will come from the withdrawal of sugar, refined carbohydrates, caffeine etc. These will automatically cause a drop in your dopamine levels (happy hormone) and could lead to feelings of depression.
To assist in minimising the symptoms, The ImmuneZap contains the velvet bean, which is the dopamine you require to uplift the feelings of depression, but will also boost the entire immune system to start fighting back naturally. One of the additional side effects from die-off is that ammonia is released from the dying fungus.
We combat this with L-Ornithine, which not only helps eliminate the ammonia but also assists in sleeping comfortably each night.
Controlling candida is not the primary goal; eradication is. This means stopping the habits that caused the condition in the first place. Maintaining a strong immune system, keeping the digestive tract healthy by supplementing with probiotics and HCL, adjusting to a healthy diet, reducing stress by finding positive outlets like walking, yoga, Tai Chi or any other exercise you favour, and reducing exposure to environmental toxins are all important and an integral part of an anti-candida lifestyle that should be implemented indefinitely.

Adding oregano oil to the arsenal against candida is vital. Oregano oil has components that react with the water in your bloodstream to dehydrate and kill the cells of the candida. Oregano oil, by extensive research, has proven to be far more effective than 18 different allopathic drugs. Being natural, oregano oil has very little side effects in comparison to regular anti-fungals and does not create resistant candida cells.
As with the article on acidity, lack of oxygen in the cellular structure is a side effect of Candida albicans. As the levels of oxygen drop, acidity rises and now adds additional peripheral conditions to the mix. The higher the acidity level, the higher the yeast growth, which now morphs into a fungus and then into a highly dangerous mould and becomes a perfect breeding ground for other parasites to multiply in.
The additional protocol is the LG/LA, which is abundant in amino acids and acts as a powerful immune booster. It will assist with the cravings and withdrawal symptoms of sugar and carbohydrates. It balances the blood sugars and will regenerate the digestive tract, making the journey of recovery a whole lot easier.
Herba Farmacy has many tools in our toolkit to support and assist you to heal permanently and remain healthy. One of which is the Tissue Cleanse diet that assists you in cleaning up your eating habits and moves you to consuming fresh living food (raw vegetables and fresh fruit).
Alkalise the system with Bicarbonate of Soda (aluminium free). A special recipe of how to take bicarb can be obtained when you purchase your stock from us. For vaginal fungal infections, being the main culprit for cervical and vaginal tumours, take 2 litres of pure filtered water, add 2 tablespoons baking soda in a douche wash. By consuming baking soda, you are changing your acidity level to alkaline, and cancer cannot survive in alkaline conditions.
Take a small pinch of bicarb on the ridge of your thumb and sniff into the left nostril whilst holding the right nostril closed. Repeat on the other side as well. This kills off any mould or infections that may be present.

Lugol’s Iodine is an absolute must for all to use, as 80% of the populace is deficient. Be sure to test if you are allergic first. Lugol’s has an amazing result when used as a skin painting method (see our blog article on Lugol’s).
Many cancer patients have used this method with great success. Lugol’s is also paramount for all your organs to function properly.
Find a practitioner that you can work with in a safe and calm environment to address your emotional issues. Cancer and other dis-eases first start with emotions and bad habits, and if left unattended will move to reflect in the physical form every time.

Herba Farmacy has dealt with many cases of clients with not only cancer but other debilitating dis-eases as well, and has achieved remarkable results using Dr Hulda Clark Protocols. Clients with cancer are horrified to find out that some of the cheapest and simplest methods that have been described in this article can assist them in curing cancer without the invasive chemo, radiation and/or surgery.
We have made it our mission to educate, assist and be available to spread the word: cancer is not a death sentence, it is treatable and affordable to all who have the courage to change the status quo.
So now it’s becoming a bit clearer for you, I hope. Remember we spoke in-depth about root causes, why suppression with traditional drugs is not a good idea and how we MUST find root causes to be able to heal completely.
Let’s connect all the little dots. Acidity leads to a system that allows all manner of dis-eases to grow, right? Cancer IS a fungus and candida IS a fungus, and both can only grow in acidic conditions… Right!
Above all, a full understanding must be adopted that if the lifestyle is not changed, no amount of supplements, herbs or protocols will be effective in killing Candida albicans permanently. Enough information has been supplied to understand that candida is dangerous and must be eradicated as soon as possible. Only you can make the choice to stop the never-ending cycle of candida, and we are here to assist as far as we possibly can. But ultimately it is your determination, courage and willpower that will reign supreme in the battle.
“People who have candida are often very frustrated and angry and may feel scattered in their personal and professional lives. Since they are basically untrusting, they are often very demanding in relationships. They are great takers, but not very good givers. Early in life, they learned that they could not trust people who were close to them. Now, they cannot trust themselves.
Candidiasis is a state of inner imbalance, not a germ, but a dis-ease. Candida albicans is a strain of yeasts commonly found in the gastrointestinal and genito-urinary areas of the body. It is generally harmless, but when resistance and immunity are low, the yeast is able to multiply rapidly, feeding on sugars and carbohydrates in these tracts. It releases toxins into the bloodstream and causes far-reaching problems. Stress and lack of rest aggravate this condition in a body that is already out of balance.” ~ Louise L. Hay
New Thought Pattern: I give myself permission to be all that I can be, and I deserve the very best in life. I love and appreciate myself and others.
NB: Please bear in mind we are not suggesting you take all the above aids to balance your acidity levels, but have given suggestions that will assist you in making informative choices to eliminating your pain and discomfort.
The understanding for all of us is that we must be brutally honest with ourselves to be able to heal permanently and completely. To look deep within our own being and evaluate what ails us is our job and responsibility, and through this we reach a breakthrough into health, happiness and freedom.
Maybe you have used our products in the past and would like to share your experiences with us. We can all learn from each other, and in collaborating and sharing we find comfort in knowing we are not alone on our journey.
Hi Desiree
I loved your article on “Cancer is a Fungus”. Does that really mean that any person with candida could be a possible cancer victim over the long term if they don’t kill the candida fungus or alkalise their body? Can alkalising our bodies with good health and alkaline mixtures mean that we can all heal candida and ultimately ward off potential cancer? Do we assume that candida starts with a parasite too?
Thank you so much. What an enlightening article!
Reply from Desiree Campher: Thank you for your comments. Candida can, if left untreated (and normally is), make you very susceptible to many dis-eases. Root causes are the foundation to ensuring we create optimum health, and a precursor to candida is acidity. Controlling acidity means that we are ensuring nothing in the way of a dis-ease can grow. Cancer grows in acidity, acidity will increase unwanted parasites, parasites’ by-products cause toxicity – not on their own, but they are the major culprits, thus disease is the result.
