Yeast Infection Knowledge - The Truth Behind Your Yeast Infection
Educating yourself about your candida infection is the first and most
important step in curing this painful, annoying and relatively dangerous
chronic condition and taking responsibility over your health and
well-being.
Although yeast infection (known by the names of
Candida, Monilia or Thrush) is in fact a very common condition, (as three out
of four women develop it at some point in their lifetimes), it is little
discussed. Most people regard candida infection as a superficial condition
that should be treated with creams and antibiotics whereas few are aware of
its potentially risky complications.
Yeast Infection is first and
foremost an internal problem. Like most chronic conditions, there is never one
cause for this fungal problem and thus yeast infection cannot be permanently
eliminated using medications or creams that work superficially and fail to
tackle the root factors that trigger the formation of candida infection in the
first place.
The problem is that the majority of yeast infection
sufferers choose to leave it in the hands of others: Doctors, pharmacists,
drug and over the counter industries. They willingly choose NOT to take
responsibility for their candida condition, for their health and for their own
body.
If you suffer from yeast infection then you must have
experienced the confusion stemmed from conflicting advice and from information
overload. Honest information about vaginal yeast infection or any other type
of candida infection is harder to come by than ever before, and nearly
everyone has been misled at one time or another. I know I have. I wasted
literally thousands of dollars on candida treatment programs that didn’t “work
out” and anti-yeast infection products that didn’t do anything.
Furthermore,
to successfully navigate through today’s jungle of misleading, dishonest and
conflicting information, you're going to have to become a very shrewd and
discriminating consumer.
There are in fact, alternative, cheap,
safe, natural and holistic health practices and methods necessary to
permanently eliminate the symptoms of this disease and cure the root internal
cause of yeast infection regardless of its type, location, or level of
severity.
To effectively overcome candida infection, you need to be
aware of the real cause of yeast infection and be able to identify its
symptoms. You need to know how to self-test and diagnose your candida
condition, learn about the dietary principals needed to maintain a candida
free environment and about the complimentary treatments that will help you
battle against the negative effects and complications of your yeast
infection.
By educating yourself about the steps you need to take
in order to deal with your candida infection condition and help your body heal
itself and control the fungal overgrowth from the inside out you can and will
eliminate the pain, annoyance, humiliation and frustration associated with
this condition and feel more in control. Additionally, as a side benefits
you’ll feel more energized, healthier and vibrant. You will enjoy improved
digestion, enhanced vision, and healthier hair, skin and nails.
Knowledge
is power. Embrace it. Share it and apply it and you will be yeast infection
free.
Candida Yeast Infection And The Metal Toxicity Connection
The intense existence of harmful chemicals and toxic metals in our
environment, in the medicines that we take, in the food that we eat and even
in our dental fillings, creates a huge challenge for our body to effectively
rid itself from these toxins resulting in a vicious cycle that manifests
itself in a variety of symptoms and health problems, among them is candida
albicans overgrowth that causes the symptoms of yeast infection to
appear.
Chemical and toxic metal build up inside the body can also lead to hormonal
imbalance, genetic alterations, immune system failure, poor elimination,
slower healing process, skin problems, allergies and nerve and brain
damage.
The presence of heavy metals in the body (led, silver, mercury) coming from
food, the air that we breath, medicines and dental fillings (contain 50%
amalgam), create an acidic and anaerobic (lacks oxygen) environment I that
encourages candida yeast overgrowth.
When there is toxic metal overload in the intestine, the intestinal lining
produces extra mucus to block metals from being absorbed into the blood
stream. The problem is that this mucus creates an environment, which lacks
oxygen, thus encourages bacteria and fungi like organisms such as candida
yeast to grow out of control.
Moreover, candida binds to heavy metals (even in your amalgam fillings) and
overgrows as the body performs a desperate attempt to protect itself against
heavy metal poisoning.
A deep metal detoxification combined with the gradual removal of amalgam
dental filling and replacing them with safer white fillings is one of the
most important and fundamentals steps in battling candida yeast infection
and restoring the body back into balance.
Candida Yeast Infection Treatment : Desensitization (EPD ) For Candida
There is a relatively effective though one-dimensional treatment for
candida yeast infection called immunotherapy. In this treatment yeast
infection patients are ordered to avoid the consumption of basically all
yeasty foods and sugary foods and are given allergenic substances in dilute
doses normally in the form of oral drops or injection to enhance the immune
abilities of the body and reduce the allergic response.
The method also called Enzyme Potentiated Desensitization (EPD) was
developed by Len McEwen, M.D. (London) in the mid-60's. The newest form of
this treatment is called Low Dose Allergens or LDA.
In this treatment the patients receive up to three injections every two
months and for a maximum period of two years, depending on the patients
response to the therapy. The enzymes are suppose to enhance the candida
infection strength and may treat several other groups of allergens along the
way.
The EPD treatment for candida yeast infection goes like this:
For a period of ten days before the first injection, the patients are given
Sporanox, which is an anti fungal for systematic candida, and De-Nol an
anti- gastric ulcer agent that reduces the ability of candida to plant its
roots in the mucus linings of the intestinal tract.
For approximately 3 days before the injection, patients undergo a semi-fast
in which they need to avoid the consumption of all food allergens combined
with the intake of the following supplements that improve the effectiveness
of the EPD treatment: Zinc, Folic acid and Vitamin D3.
The response of the EPD treatment for candida yeast infection varies among
patients. Some patients may experience sudden and dramatic improvement that
wears off in time while some need increased doses through longer intervals
until improvement is maintained.
Either way, EPD is not a permanent solution for candida. EPD is after all a
one-dimensional treatment that focuses merely on the dietary and allergy
reaction factor that trigger candida overgrowth. EPD’s effects wear off in
time and If you have significant gut problems, bacterial infections,
parasites or systematic candida, EPD will not work.
The only way one can ever overcome candida yeast infection is by tackling
all candida-contributing factors, the holistic way, not just the dietary or
allergy triggering factors. By fixing the internal cause of candida
overgrowth, all candida related symptoms would banish, permanently along
with the feeling of increased energy, improved vision, health and
well-being.

Candida Diet - SECRET Dietary Treatment Revealed
Adhering to a well defined candida diet is the first move for dealing with
yeast infections. Recent research indicates that the right diet plan may be
highly effective in preventing certain health problems and chronic diseases,
including Candida infections. Before discussing the connection between
candida diet and its impact on yeast infection, we’ll take a quick look at
what candida infection is and discuss the specific conditions that bring it
on.
Candida is the scientific name for single cell microbes to be found in
small amounts in the most areas of the human body: the intestines, the
genitals, the mouth etc. Although in the body that is healthy these microbes
are kept in check by beneficial bacteria and an operational immune system, a
combination of certain conditions can wreck this healthy balance. Candida
can grow out of control and take on a root-like structure to damage the
mucous membranes of the gut, invading the bloodstream and causing the well
known symptoms related to yeast infection. As these microbes are mobile and
can reach different parts of
the body, systemic as well as local yeast infection can occur.
There are many factors that bring on yeast infection. Some of these factors
are related closely to food. Observing diet plans that can prevent yeast
infection from spreading is the first and one of the basic moves in and make
to holistic Candida therapy. Adhering to the following diet rules, in
combination with other nutrition and lifestyle principles, can bring
positive results to your general health and particularly to your yeast
infection problem:
1. Stop eating a refined sugar and carbohydrates. Refined sugar (which
includes simple carbohydrates such as molasses and honey) and other refined
carbohydrates (such as white flour, white rice, any type of cereals etc.)
are all
food for candida. Consuming such foods can make candida breed. To prevent
candida overgrowth, use Stevia instead of sugar and use whole grain
non-gluten products (such as brown rice, buck wheat bread) to replace
refined
carbohydrates.
2. Foods that contain yeast or mold (like white vinegar, mushrooms, calm,
dried fruits, canned vegetables and some condiments) can also encourage
Candida and should not be eaten.
3. To fight Candida your immune system needs to be strong. Using
antibiotics can debilitate your immune system and kill off friendly
bacteria. Therefore, many nutritionists recommend that their patients stop
using antibiotics and reduce intake of dairy products that may also contain
antibiotics. Since strengthening the immune system is an integral part of
preventing yeast infections, daily consumption of garlic can lessen the
likelihood of recurrent yeast infections.
4. Dairy products and cow’s milk products in particular, should be avoided
to because they can lead to allergic reactions create excessive mucus and
take longer to digest. Some of the main yeast infection factors can include
allergies and digestive problems. Better alternatives to dairy products of
Cow’s milk are organic goat and sheep’s milk products.
5. To stop Candida overgrowth, it is important to maintain the right
acid-alkaline balance. That means the right "PH" level in your blood. PH is
measured on a scale that goes from zero to fourteen where fourteen is the
most alkaline, seven is
neutral and zero is the most acid. Your body functions best in the range of
PH 7.35 and 7.45 for acidity in the blood. Any extra acidity makes for a
context where candida multiplies. An alkaline food plan, which is based on
consumption of
alkaline forming foods (foods with calcium, cesium, magnesium, potassium,
sodium, almonds, green juices, and most fresh vegetables etc.) with moderate
consumption of foods that form acids (most meats, fish, dairy and grain
products) can help you regain your alkaline quotient to better control
candida growth.
6. A study by Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in
New York revealed that eating foods rich in betacarotene (a natural
substance that's converted into vitamin A in the body) could offer some
protection against yeast infections.
Remember that Candida diets can be very good for halting all kinds of yeast
infections, but that they are only the first part of a full holistic
therapy.
Pregnancy and Yeast Infection
Prior to discussing the complexity linking the chances of contracting
Candida infections with pregnancy, we'll take a brief glance at the initial
physiological reasons for the yeast infection ailment. However the question
still needs to be answered, does pregnancy make a woman's body even more at
risk concerning yeast infections? Many women about to give birth are worried
about this. The truth is that Candida infection is twice as probable during
pregnancy compared to situations outside of pregnancy.
Yeast infection in the vagina is characterized by thick, white vaginal
discharge with the appearance of cottage cheese and discomfort while having
sex. Almost three-quarters of women in western nations will be afflicted by
this kind of infection once in their lifetime and many of them will have to
continue enduring
chronic Candida infections. As a matter of fact, Candidiasis, or yeast
infection, is a fungal infection appearing locally or systemically with
particular impact on women in western countries. The most frequent kind of
yeast infection is vaginal infection of which the typical symptoms include a
burning feeling and itching
especially around the vaginal area.
Candida exists to a greater or lesser degree in the intestinal and genital
tracts of most people, but fungal overgrowth can bring on painful and
debilitating consequences and also significant health complications. Yeast
in this medical context means single-celled fungi. The common name, Candida,
applies to the strain of fungi often seen in the human body under normal
conditions as well.
Different elements which may be internal, external, lifestyle-related or
psychological then directly or indirectly form the context in which Candida
multiplication comes about. As with many other medical problems, Candida
overgrowth comes about because of group of factors and related
interactions.
In addition, emotional stress affecting many women when pregnant and while
expecting a child may as a consequence degrade the immune system and
increase the chance of yeast overgrowth.
Pregnant women also often develop fixations on sugar-rich or white flour
containing foods. As traditionally, pregnant women are allowed, even pushed
to obey such cravings, these sugars and refined carbohydrates increase even
more the threat of yeast infection powered by these sugary
environments.
In pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes changes at several levels including
hormonal, physiological and psychological. These changes conspire to
engender excessive Candida overgrowth and the accompanying symptoms.
Pregnancy-induced hormonal changes modify the vaginal context and make fungi
more likely to grow beyond acceptable limits.
Ignoring Candidiasis can lead to systemic yeast infection, with significant
negative effects both in terms of quality of life and overall well being.
Since pregnant women may not use many of the antifungal medications or
antibiotic treatments available to others, it is even more important to find
another solution for candidiasis during this moment of childbearing. Finding
a remedy for candidiasis in expecting women is crucial, because otherwise
infection can be communicated from the mother to her baby through the birth
canal during pregnancy or during
childbirth, or afterwards via breast-feeding.
The holistic approach using modifications in dietary and lifestyle changes
and eliminating toxins, can stop all types of yeast infection and also
prevent their recurrence safely and effectively for pregnant women and the
babies that they are carrying. Did you hear the news about the 100% natural
holistic methods that
can be used to remedy yeast infections permanently and safely?
Pregnant womenwho want a complete and lasting answer to candidiasis can use
holistic methods to rid themselves of this condition by taking a set of
specific home remedies to relieve the symptoms and by using holistic all
natural guidelines that address the fundamental issues to tackle the real
problem.
