链球菌在过去几十年逐步变得越来越强大，正在变成一种对健康有很大影响且在人群中很普遍的超级细菌。链球菌有数百种类型，有些比其他类型更难应对，很容易在人群中传染。
链球菌引起的症状多种多样，包括鼻窦疼痛、炎症和充血、中耳炎、泌尿道感染、尿路感染、酵母菌感染、膀胱炎、细菌性阴道炎、绝大多数的盆腔炎、肠道疾病、小肠细菌过度增生（SIBO）、肺炎、支气管炎、咽喉痛、麦粒肿、青春痘等。区别只是链球菌在身体的不同部位引起不同的问题。体内一种或多种链球菌可以引起许多看似不相关的问题，诸如头痛、疲劳、困惑和低烧是链球菌导致的一些副作用。链球菌在体内活跃程度取决于一个人的免疫系统状态和当前生活状况。
对于大多数人来说，链球菌始于孩童期，可能是从父母、另一个孩子，或者诸如公共洗手间之类的地方传染到的。许多人从小就被诊断出患有链球菌性喉炎，或经历未被诊断出的喉咙痛，这通常是体内存在链球菌的迹象。幼儿链球菌感染也可能表现为慢性耳部感染（诸如中耳炎等）和扁桃体炎。耳鸣、耳朵嗡嗡声或失去听力（或听力下降）是由EB病毒引起的（更多关于EB病毒的信息请见“各类慢性疾病背后的真凶（一）和（二）- EB病毒”），但慢性耳部感染通常是由链球菌引起的。要知道，链球菌是EB病毒最好的共生伙伴，通常一起出现。
对许多人来说，链球菌会伴随我们一生，随着年龄的增长，它变得越来越强壮，破坏力越来越强。链球菌很容易传染，一个人很容易从和自己一起生活的人（性传播、父母子女之间传播等）以及公共场所感染多种链球菌。链球菌甚至可以在我们开门握把手时被感染，飞机上、公共洗手间、餐厅吃饭都可能感染链球菌，在公共区域出入后勤洗手，同时避免用接触过公共场所的手触碰脸部都很重要。
现在，所有的链球菌类型都对抗生素有越来越强的抵抗力，要完全消除链球菌很困难，但我们完全可以通过以下的疗愈方法去除它们对我们健康的影响。
一．链球菌引起的病症
如上所述，链球菌是鼻窦疼痛、炎症和充血、中耳炎、泌尿道感染、尿路感染、酵母菌感染、膀胱炎、细菌性阴道炎、绝大多数的盆腔炎、肠道疾病、小肠细菌过度增生（SIBO）、肺炎、支气管炎、咽喉痛、麦粒肿、青春痘等背后的真正原因。一个人可以从头到脚都有链球菌发作的症状，以下我们对一些主要症状进行说明。
青春痘是链球菌在身体的淋巴系统内导致的问题。如果一个人从孩童时期就经常有扁桃腺炎、喉咙疼痛炎症、脓毒性咽喉炎、慢性耳部感染、或者麦粒肿等情况，很可能青春期或者成人时就会有青春痘，其严重程度取决于不同时期体内链球菌的严重程度（和饮食、生活习惯、压力等有关）。如果小时候经常支气管炎或者有肺炎的话，很可能成人之后青春痘发的比较严重。链球菌很容易从头到脚在我们体内存在多年，根据链球菌所处部位不同，每个人出现的症状都不同，随着年纪问题倾向于变得更明显。患有青春痘的人很可能会用抗生素治疗，因此采取以下疗愈方式时可能需要一段时间，因为以前使用的任何抗生素最终都会增强链球菌（请见以下抗药性的解释）。好消息是通过改变饮食并增强免疫系统，是完全可以摆脱青春痘和潜在的链球菌感染的，许多与青春痘斗争了几十年的人都得以完全摆脱青春痘。关于青春痘更多详细信息，请见“青春痘的原因和疗愈”。
膀胱炎是由于链球菌在膀胱中存在较长时间后在膀胱壁上造成的伤疤组织。有些有膀胱炎的人过去曾经出现过链球菌引起的尿路感染，有些人则不会经历尿路感染，但可能经历其他类型链球菌引起的其他病症。一旦膀胱壁上形成伤疤组织，就可能会造成炎症和肿胀，导致该区域对某些食物和体内的尿酸程度变得敏感，也可能出现多种并发症。真正的疗愈只有在摧毁链球菌后才能实现。许多患有严重膀胱炎导致无法再工作且失去生活信心的女性，在获得身体可以疗愈的信心，并通过正确的疗愈食物和方法之后都得到了疗愈。
小肠细菌过度生长源于肠道中链球菌的过度生长。当前医学界可能知道这是细菌问题，但并不知道是由链球菌引起的。患有小肠细菌过度生长的人很有可能同时有链球菌引起的许多其他症状。与青春痘类似，小肠细菌过度生长可能是在幼儿或成年后频繁使用抗生素导致的。抗生素的问题在于其主要成分是塑料（石油化工产品衍生物）和蛋，这些都是喂养各种病原体的食物，这就是为什么抗生素永远无法真正解决问题，只是通过抑制症状看似在短暂时间内解决了问题。以下的疗愈食物则可以永久性地杀死导致疾病的链球菌。在某些情况下诸如严重失控的尿路感染，抗生素可能是必要且有价值的，但现在抗生素通常被过度使用。
链球菌还可以入侵结肠，并引起肠易激综合症或引发其他肠道疾病。虽然结肠炎背后的真凶是带状疱疹病毒（更多细节请见“各类慢性疾病背后的真凶-带状疱疹病毒”，但是当体内有大量链球菌时，引起的炎症会导致结肠炎的恶化。实际上，体内链球菌的存在会加剧任何慢性疾病的恶化。
许多情况下，麦粒肿也是由链球菌引起的，虽然有一些麦粒肿是由病毒引起的，并非所有都是相同的，许多种类的麦粒肿都与链球菌有关。
90％的盆腔炎背后的真凶是链球菌。细菌性阴道病也是另一种链球菌引起的常见病症。
女性很容易发现在例假期间，容易发青春痘，或出现炎症或疲劳等症状，这是因为在生理期间，身体80%的免疫系统完全都投入到帮助生殖系统，只留下20%的“免疫系统部队”作战，所以女性在例假期间感受到的所有症状包括青春痘、尿路感染、子宫内膜异位症、头疼、头晕、疲劳、各种疼痛、脑雾、抑郁等，是因为身体其他部位与病毒细菌作战的部队大大减少，导致原来就有的问题会突出体现，与例假无关。这就类似于退潮时大家能看到水下的问题，但本身退潮不是引起水下问题的真正原因，只是揭示了问题而已。如果根本上去除了导致各种病症的真凶即外来入侵者病毒和细菌，这些都会逐渐消失。
二. 抗药性背后的原因
链球菌在过去多年間产生了多于百种的变体，最初只有A和B种的链球菌，那时候抗生素还可以杀死这两类链球菌。之后随着普遍的抗生素滥用，链球菌也开始变异，变异后的链球菌把抗生素当成了食物，反而变得越来越强大。使用抗生素对抗链球菌绝对不是明智之举。
如果一个人长期各种感冒、炎症时都服用抗生素，体内很可能会有非常具有抗生素抗性的链球菌。虽然抗生素在病情危急的情况下是有其用途的，但是我们真正的目标是需要增强免疫系统，避免出现病情危急情况。否则整个就是一个恶性循环，病情危急使用抗生素，链球菌发展抗药性之后又导致另一个危机，进一步需要更加强大的抗生素。抗生素其实一进入身体，就留在肝脏里面，因为其代谢毒素排出非常缓慢，这些抗生素在肝脏内就成为低度链球菌感染的食物。抗生素也许短期看上去能压住链球菌，但因为没有解决根本问题，同时还在继续喂养细菌逐步壮大，只会让问题在长期变得更糟糕。如果想真正痊愈，可以通过以下方案进行，不仅因为这些食物可以杀死链球菌，而且链球菌不会对这些疗愈食物产生抗药性。
三．如何疗愈链球菌相关的病症
1. 避免喂养链球菌的食物
从饮食去除会喂养和增强链球菌的食物对于疗愈非常重要。请尽可能从饮食中去除蛋、各种乳制品、小麦制品和其他含麸质谷物、芥花油（canola oil）、鱼油、玉米及其制品（请直接点击各项链接阅读更多详细信息）。有些人被错误地告知要蛋奶有利于健康，许多人不一定在摄入蛋奶时有感觉，但这一直在喂养各种病原体，导致各类甲状腺疾病、结节囊肿和肿瘤、女性健康问题等各种慢性疾病，蛋奶和小麦制品都会造成病症进一步的恶化，请务必避免。
2. 疗愈食品
重建免疫系统是对抗链球菌的关键。我们的免疫系统非常强大，但是它非常需要我们的支持。一旦给予关键的支持，我们身体会以百倍的努力来回报我们，青春痘、小肠细菌过度生长、膀胱炎和所有其他与链球菌相关的症状都可以永久消失。
免疫系统最需要的食物支持就是各种水果和蔬菜中丰富的营养元素武装自己应对入侵者，所有的水果和蔬菜都具有强大的抗病原体功效，因此请在饮食中尽可能多地添加各种新鲜水果和蔬菜（提高生蔬菜的比例）。许多草药和香料也提供抗病毒支持。在享受这些美味食物的同时，请知道这些富含生命力的食物不会喂养或增强任何链球菌。当饮食中定期包含这些疗愈食物时，可以给我们提供难以置信的支持。一些最适合杀死链球菌的食物有：
- 野生蓝莓和所有莓果（樱桃、黑莓、草莓、树莓、小红莓等等）：可以杀死身体任何地方的链球菌，将链球菌从身体各个系统内彻底排除。
- 洋葱：可帮助对抗膀胱、生殖系统、肠道和结肠中的链球菌，还可以帮助疗愈麦粒肿；同时洋葱不仅能够杀死链球菌，还能杀死幽门螺旋杆菌（有些类型的链球菌与幽门螺旋杆菌共生）。当鼻塞不通时，将一杯热水里面放入切碎的洋葱，盖上毛巾遮住眼睛闻洋葱水热气，很快就能通鼻子。
- 绿叶蔬菜：菠菜、羽衣甘蓝、生菜、芝麻菜（arugula）等对杀死链球菌特别有帮助。同时不管有没有链球菌，绿叶蔬菜是非常重要提高免疫系统的食物，对抗链球菌也是一样。生菠菜特别能帮助青春痘的疗愈。
- 西芹汁：强大对抗链球菌的武器，一进入体内就开始杀死链球菌。
- 黄瓜：最快能让身体碱性化的食物之一，从而加速排毒。
- 香蕉：香蕉的抗菌和抗病毒特性对于将链球菌排出体外有不可思议的功效，特别对于肠道系统内的链球菌特别有效。
- 生大蒜：对抗链球菌的神药。在喉咙炎症等情况下，生吃一瓣大蒜立马就可以缓解喉咙症状。
- 生蜂蜜(raw honey)（和早晨空腹柠檬水一起绝佳组合）：生蜂蜜含有杀死所有不同类型链球菌的植物化学物质。
- 甘草（Licorice root）和牛至油( oregano oil)对于对抗链球菌非常有效。
- 柠檬香蜂草（lemon balm）、胡椒薄荷茶（peppermint）、洋甘菊茶（chamomile）、牛至（oregano）、百里香（thyme）、鼠尾草（sage）、迷迭香（rosemary）、姜黄turmeric（可以加入黄瓜汁或者西芹汁）、肉桂（cinnamon）：经常饮用这些茶或者食用新鲜植物（加入菜或者泡茶）都是对抗链球菌的强大武器。
- 番茄、红椒、南瓜、红薯、西葫芦，地瓜，羽衣甘蓝以及椰子水都是很好的对抗链球菌食物。
如果加入了蔬菜和水果觉得没有看到明显效果，表示你需要包括更多的蔬菜和水果。链球菌是比较难对付的细菌，是需要一定时间和耐心才能彻底将其排出体外的。同时在排毒期间，减少荤食和油脂的摄入，让饮食能包括更多的蔬菜和水果，给身体创造最佳的排毒环境，因为过量的油脂会让毒素排出变得缓慢。
3. 关键的营养元素
锌是我们免疫系统的武器，如果长期缺锌，就类似于部队没有枪在作战。淋巴细胞是对抗链球菌最重要的部队，缺乏锌，它们很难阻挡链球菌。由于一百多年来农药、杀虫剂导致的土壤酸化，原本富含锌的食物（南瓜子等）现在都无法从土地中吸取足够的锌，导致现在所有人基本上从父母辈就开始缺锌，父母辈缺锌会遗传到小孩，如果长期缺锌，观察自己的指甲会发现并不光滑，有许多竖纹，严重的指甲会非常脆，特别容易折断。缺锌导致现在免疫抵抗力普遍下降，也是为什么流感如此肆虐而且链球菌以及其他病毒越来越猖獗的原因。充足的锌补充对于我们的免疫系统至关重要，更多关于锌的信息，请见“关键的营养元素（一）-锌”。
体内充足的维生素C是另一对抗链球菌的强大武器。虽然现在富含维生素C的水果随时都可以买的到，其实很多人体内都非常缺乏维生素C。最好的办法就是通过新鲜的水果和蔬菜补充。如果一定选择维生素片，请选择无添加剂（例如无柠檬酸、玉米淀粉、防腐剂等添加剂的）高纯度维生素，现在几乎所有的脂质性维他命C（Liposomal Vitamin C）都含有玉米成分，这些添加剂会导致许多健康问题，可能最好的选择还是大量富含维生素C的新鲜食物。
硒（Selenium）可以修复被链球菌损坏的组织。
猫爪草、金印草（goldenseal）和椰子中的月桂酸酯（monolaurin）是另外几种非常有用的补充剂。
现在许多孩子从幼儿期体内就有链球菌感染，导致扁桃体炎、肺炎、尿路感染、中耳炎等各种病症，如果想要要帮助孩子从各种链球菌症状中恢复，最重要的便是减少或者完全去除链球菌最爱的食物诸如蛋奶和小麦制品，同时大量给孩子富含维生素C的东西（新鲜水果蔬菜等），补充足够的锌以及含甲基钴胺素和腺苷钴胺素的维生素b12和接骨木浆果糖浆（elderberry syrup））来增强孩子的免疫系统，以避免经常使用抗生素。
在对抗链球菌病时，坚持一段时间的全植物性饮食会非常有益，大家也可以参考公众号菜单疗愈篇内的各种疗愈净化法，这些都是非常强大能让我们在健康大道上快速前进的疗愈措施，选择适合自己生活方式的进行。基础版净化疗愈法不过多改变三餐，而是在此基础上加上疗愈元素；增强版净化疗愈法是全生食的疗法；肝脏369则是9天部分全生食的强大排毒疗法，可以选择每个月或每季度进行帮助自己在疗愈道路上快速前进。
四．向前进
如果我们依然认为青春痘是荷尔蒙问题，那将很难疗愈；如果我们继续相信鼻炎是花粉过敏，所有症状仍将继续。如果女性依然认为白带是酵母菌，那将继续忍受痛苦。病原体之所以得以发展是因为它们躲在暗处，我们在明处，但当我们了解疾病的真相时，即使什么都还没有做，免疫系统就会得到立即的增强，因为它开始了解面对的敌人是谁，就会开始为我们追杀入侵者。当然它们需要我们的有力支持。病原体其实很软弱，了解真相并逐步坚持疗愈，病原体就会逐渐减弱并失去控制。在抗击任何疾病时，正确的知识就是力量，每天采取一些简单的步骤来逐步疗愈自己。疗愈需要时间和耐心，在每天吃下每一口疗愈食物时，请记住，我们就在向前进。上述方法可以克服当今世界上最强大的链球菌，只要我们有时间、耐心和决心，就可以击败任何种类的链球菌，看到自己生活开始转变，体验充满活力的健康和自由。
Streptococcus Revealed
Streptococcus is a bacteria that grows stronger with each decade. It’s starting to become like a superbug in its strength and pervasiveness. There are hundreds of strep strains, some stronger than others, which can be passed between people and picked up in different environments.
The symptoms of strep are varied and numerous. They include sinus pain and congestion, otitis media, UTIs, intestinal disorders, SIBO, sore throats, styes, cystic acne, and more. Strep can cause a multitude of seemingly unrelated issues that all stem from one or more of the many strains. Headaches, fatigue, confusion, and low-grade fevers are some other side effects of strep in the body. The activity level of strep in the body ebbs and flows depending on the state of a person’s immune system and current life circumstances.
For most people, streptococcus first appears when they are young. It might be passed on from a mother, father, another child, or even a place, such as a public restroom. You might’ve been diagnosed with strep throat as a child, or experienced sore throats that were signs of often undiagnosed strep in the system. Strep in young children can also manifest as chronic ear infections and tonsilitis. While buzzing, ringing, popping in the ears or hearing loss are symptoms of Epstein-Barr virus, chronic ear infections typically indicate strep. It is also important to note that strep is a favored cofactor of Epstein-Barr.
For many people, strep has been with them for most of their lives, and as people age, it tends to grow stronger and wreak greater havoc in the body. In relationships, people share their bacteria, and it’s not uncommon for a person to pick up multiple strains of strep from different partners they are with. All of the strains are growing increasingly antibiotic resistant and if you think you have one or more strains of strep in your system, it’s very important you begin to implement the food and supplement protocol outlined below. Streptococcus is tricky to eliminate, but liberating yourself from this bacteria is possible.
Symptoms of Strep
Acne is often caused by streptococcus in the system. When it comes to acne, the strep resides in the lymphatic system. Some usual areas strep can be found include the cheeks, face, behind the ears, and around the neck. Someone who suffers from acne typically received multiple rounds of antibiotics as a child. It might take a bit of time for someone to fully heal from acne because any prior antibiotic use has ultimately played a role in strengthening the strep. Fortunately, by cleaning up the diet, adopting a proper supplementation protocol, and building up the immune system, you can free yourself from acne and the underlying strep. People who have battled with acne for fifteen, even twenty years, have been able to find freedom from it.
Cystitis is scar tissue on the bladder lining that stems from streptococcus being in the bladder for an extended period of time. Some people have had past UTIs signaling strep, while others never experience UTIs, but notice different problems that might indicate cystitis and the underlying strep strain. Once scar tissue forms on the bladder lining, inflammation and swelling might occur. This area can grow sensitive to certain foods you consume and the amount of uric acid in your system. A host of complications may arise that will only cease once the strep is destroyed. I’ve worked with women who have experienced such terrible cystitis they could no longer function and had lost their desire to live. But, these same women have found the real truth behind their cystitis and healed through adding in the correct foods and supplements, and trusting in the body’s inherent ability to heal.
SIBO stems from an overgrowth of strep in the gut. Doctors today might know you have a bacterial issue, but will not be able to tell you that SIBO indicates a system overrun with strep. Someone diagnosed with SIBO most likely has numerous other symptoms caused by strep. Similar to acne, SIBO can arise following the frequent use of antibiotics as a young child or in adulthood. Replacing the perpetual use of antibiotics, which are laced with virus and bacteria-feeding eggs and petroleum, with healing foods and supplements will actually serve to permanently destroy the strep strain. Antibiotics can be necessary and valuable in certain cases, for example a UTI that is severe and out of control. However, many times, antibiotics are overused or used for inappropriate reasons.
Strep can invade the colon and cause irritable bowel syndrome or trigger other intestinal conditions. Although colitis is a variety of the shingles virus, it can worsen when high levels of strep in the body cause inflammation. The aggravation of any chronic condition is compounded by the presence of strep in the system.
Many styes people develop are strep related. Some styes stem from viral issues, but not all styes are the same, and many correspond with strep in the body.
In 90% of cases involving pelvic inflammation, strep is the culprit. Another common condition, bacterial vaginosis, is connected to strep as well.
Any strep symptoms will most likely worsen during or around a woman’s menstrual cycle when her reproductive system needs additional energy or during ovulation when hormones are shifting. It’s not menstruation or the hormones themselves that cause the worsening of symptoms, but that underlying health issues like strep can take a stronger hold during this time. A severe UTI, an increase in acne, additional sinus issues, a flair up of endometriosis symptoms— all of these issues tend to grow worse during these particular time periods.
Streptococcus in Children
Parents are rarely given the information they need on how best to support their childrens’ health, primarily because there is so much misinformation competing for our attention today. Besides practicing the information found in my books, radio shows, and online content, finding a practitioner who supports what you are discovering here and can help you to navigate your child’s health issues is invaluable.
For children, it is critical to build up their immune systems with healing foods and appropriate amounts of supplements such as zinc sulfate, B-12 with adenosylcobalamin, vitamin C, and elderberry syrup. If you notice any strep symptoms, adding a little goldenseal to the child’s protocol can be highly beneficial. It’s important to stay on top of any signs of strep a child exhibits so proper supplementation can help support the child’s health and antibiotics may not have to be used as frequently.
Foods to Avoid
Eggs feed strep and should be avoided while you heal. Some people are wrongfully told to consume eggs when healing from SIBO, but this is damaging misinformation. Unfortunately, eggs will continue to feed the bacteria in your body. Someone suffering from cystitis might not feel any irritation when consuming eggs, but they are still feeding the problem and creating further problems for their health. From PCOS, to breast cancer, calcifications, nodules, tumors on the thyroid, and more, eggs can exacerbate many issues, and it is best to avoid them. You can read more about eggs in my book Life-Changing Foods.
Like eggs, dairy products feed strep as well. Avoid milk, cheese, butter, or ghee if you are battling any strain of strep. Try to stay away from corn, wheat, barley, rye, and canola oil. Do not be concerned about barley grass juice, these are both anti-strep foods and exceptional to include for your health. When the grass is juiced, the change in structure contains a phytochemical that wards off strep.
Healing Foods
As you begin to clean out the strep in your system, building up the immune system is a critical piece. Your SIBO, cystitis and all the other symptoms related to strep can permanently go away, but this healing can only begin once you add in the correct foods and supplements. When you’re fighting strep, adopting a plant-based diet for a period of time can be very beneficial. You might want to consider trying the 28-day cleanse laid out in my first book, Medical Medium.
The antibacterial and antiviral properties found in bananas are incredible for collecting strep and pulling it out of the system. Bananas are especially good for someone with SIBO. Berries are great for defeating strep anywhere in the body system. Spinach, especially for acne sufferers, is a wonderful addition to one’s diet. Onion helps fight strep in the bladder, reproductive system, intestinal tract, colon, and can also help in healing styes. Juicing tumeric with cucumber or celery creates a very healing drink. Celery juice is another powerful drink that instantly starts eradicating strep. Cayenne pepper can be great, but be careful not to overdo it if you’re sensitive. Raw honey contains phytochemicals that destroy all the different strep bacterias. Arugula, ginger, garlic, winter squash, sweet potatoes, kale, and the meat and water of coconuts are all supportive foods to incorporate. Including fresh oregano and other herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage is very healing as well. You can read about the powerful healing benefits of all of these foods in my book Life-Changing Foods.
Healing Supplements
A sizable dose of vitamin C is a powerful weapon against streptococcus. Zinc sulfate is a critical strep-fighting supplement. One reason strep has become so rampant is because most people suffer from a zinc deficiency, and it is therefore critical to replenish your body with this vital mineral. Oregano oil capsules are great for fighting strep, especially SIBO and acne symptoms. Cat’s claw, lemon balm, goldenseal, and monolaurin from coconut are four other very helpful supplements.
Moving Forward
If doctors tell patients cystic acne is just hormonal pimples, then people will remain sick and grossly misinformed. If people continue to believe the faulty idea that sinus infections are attributable to pollen in the air, people will remain unwell. If people just assume vaginal discharge is yeast, and are not correctly informed that it’s a strain of strep, people will continue to suffer. Together we must clear up the misinformation and spread the truths that will bring genuine healing.
Healing foods and supplements can overcome even the most powerful strains of strep in today’s world and with time, patience, and determination, you can defeat strep and experience the freedom of vibrant health. Be gentle with
