A Permanent Cure for Candida Yeast Infection

Background 

Yeast infection will affect more than 75% of women and a large proportion of men at some point in their lives and it is actually more common in our modern industrialised society than in the less developed countries.

The first reaction when even vague symptoms appear is usually to visit the local pharmacy for one of the multitude of over-the-counter anti-fungal treatments that are so easily available. There are two potential issues with this approach:

1. If these drugs are used too often the yeast can become resistant to the point where the drugs can become ineffective and the next time you are unlucky enough to get an infection it can be far more difficult to get rid of - needing much stronger drugs. It is thought that as much as 25% of yeast infections may now be resistant to over-the-counter treatments.
2. The treatment of the obvious symptoms usually doesn't actually tackle the root cause. This means that the symptoms may disappear for a while but could keep coming back - and prevention is always better than cure.

To eradicate the infection completely we need to understand what the root causes are and how to put things back to normal.

What exactly is Yeast Infection? 

Yeast infection, also known as Candida infection, Candidiasis, m onilia or thrush, can be a very unpleasant condition and is caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans bacteria. (Click here for more background on Candida albicans).

A vast number of different bacteria live on the surface of our bodies, in the genital area, our mouths and in our gastrointestinal tract. Each type of bacteria has an important function for our health and in a normal healthy individual they all live together in a natural healthy balance. 

The function of the Candida bacteria is to keep other potentially unhealthy bacteria in check. The Candida bacteria themselves are kept in check by friendly pro-biotic bacteria. 

There are various situations in life though, where our natural internal balance can be disrupted or damaged. This is when the Candida albicans might be able to multiply out of control and this overgrowth is when the thrush, yeast infection symptoms appear. 

People generally believe that Candida infection or thrush only happens in localised areas on the skin’s surface and can be easily treated. Unfortunately it is often not that straightforward - where infections are persistent and keep coming back this can be the sign of a far more serious internal problem.  

What Happens to us internally?

When our natural internal balance has been disrupted and the thrush-causing Candida bacteria multiply unchecked they change from a Candida yeast form to a fungal form which creates roots which can break through the walls of our intestines.  

Yeast, bacteria and partly digested food can now get into the blood stream and travel around or body and could potentially infect many organs and localised areas of our body causing itching, rashes and other thrush-like symptoms. 

We need to be aware that by the time we notice these thrush-like symptoms the thrush causing Candida bacteria may already be out of control inside our bodies. Once this has happened the Candida infection has become systemic and can be very difficult to get rid of. In extreme cases systemic Candida yeast infection can even be fatal.

Prevention is always better than cure. Please use this section to work out what may be causing yeast infection in your own particular case and try to avoid it (or them) where possible.

The Use of Antibiotics 

Certain antibiotics such as ampicillin and tetracycline can not only deal with  the condition they were intended to treat but can also kill the healthy pro-biotic bacteria which are needed to keep Candida under control - allowing thrush symptoms to appear.

Changes in Hormone Levels 

Changes in hormone levels due to pregnancy. (click here for more details on Candida during pregnancy), birth control or as part of the normal monthly cycle can bring on thrush, Candida yeast infections. Some hormone changes can also trigger elevated blood sugar levels which the Candida yeast will feed on. 

Poorly Controlled or Uncontrolled Diabetes

Diabetes which is poorly controlled or not yet diagnosed will cause increased blood sugar levels which will feed the Candida yeast. 

The Wrong Clothing

Tight or dirty clothing which traps moisture near the skin, particularly in the genital area can be a cause of yeast infection - or can significantly aggravate an existing infection. 

Sexual Contact with an Infected Partner

This  can be transferred during intercourse if your partner is infected. 

Deodorants, Perfumes, Soaps and other Chemicals

Deodorants and perfumes, etc. can upset the natural bacterial balance, particularly in the genital area. Be very wary of using vaginal douches - they may kill the friendly bacteria that is our bodies need to keep the Candida bacteria in check.

A Weakened Immune System 

A weakened immune system, possibly due to a recent illness can mean that the body’s natural system for keeping Candida and other bacteria in control is not working as effectively as it would normally be - allowing thrush to appear.

Increased Stress Levels 

Higher than normal levels of stress can weaken the immune system as well as causing elevated blood sugar levels and disrupting the effect of friendly pro-biotic bacteria allowing Candida albicans overgrowth causing thrush.

Unhealthy Dietary Habits (More on the impact of diet on thrush, Candida)

A diet which includes too much refined carbohydrates and not enough fruit and vegetables can cause high blood sugar levels and a lack of the nutrients that our body needs to stay healthy and prevent thrush.

Symptoms of Candida Infection (Click here for more) 

If you are aware of the various symptoms you may be able to treat your infection early and relatively easily - before it really takes hold and becomes far more difficult to eradicate.

The More Obvious Symptoms of Candida in Women Include: 

·          Itching and redness of the genital area. 

·          Pain during sex and urination. 

·          A smelly cheese-like discharge. 

·          Potentially severe swelling of the vagina. 

·          There can be painful cracks in the skin. 

·          General tiredness. 

The More Obvious Candida Symptoms in Men Include: (More on male Candida)

·          Itching and redness of the genital area. 

·          A smelly cheese-like discharge 

·          Possible well-defined smaller rashes around the  main one. 

Other Potential Symptoms of Candida May Include: 

·          Oral thrush (Candida yeast infections of the mouth and throat). 

·          Skin rashes – most likely found in skin folds. 

·          Discoloured and thickened finger or toe nails. 

Possible Complications of Candida Yeast Infection

If the Candida albicans has got into the blood stream there can be more serious localised thrush related infections in other parts of the body.  

This may include: 

·          Irritable bowel syndrome. 

·          Joint pains 

·          Chest pains 

·          Others 

It is also possible for Candida yeast to cover the lining of our stomach and inhibit the normal digestive processes, preventing the absorption of the vitamins and nutrients that our body needs to stay healthy and prevent thrush and other infections. 

There are also a large number of less obvious Candida symptoms including the production of various toxic substances. 

How to Cure your Candida Yeast Infection Permanently 

Doctors find Candida yeast infection difficult to eradicate – simply because it can be triggered by a combination of so many different factors. 

There are a lot of anti-fungal thrush creams and over-the-counter Candida treatments which will go some way to combat the Candida symptoms but very few (if any) are able to properly tackle the root cause - the overgrowth of Candida albicans bacteria.

The most effective way to cure this condition permanently and safely is with a comprehensive holistic treatment which works on the whole body to restore the natural healthy internal balance rather than just tackling individual symptoms.
