Some Basic Information about Candida Yeast
Candida yeast is a naturally occurring substance in the human body which, when over-produced, can cause what is commonly known as a yeast infection, or oral thrush if it develops in the mouth. It is basically a fungus, and believe it or not, it has a purpose in your body. Normally a bacteria known as Lactobacillus keeps it in check, but in cases where antibiotics are taken, the body’s production of this bacteria is inhibited, causing a yeast infection to develop.
In instances of vaginal yeast infection, the symptoms often first occur immediately after taking a cycle of antibiotics for another condition, perhaps a urinary tract infection (UTI). Some women, when they fill the prescription for their antibiotic, will purchase an antifungal medication like Threelac or Fivelac to combat the yeast infection they know is coming. Buying a case of yogurt, which is a probiotic that contains lactic acid, is another common practice. It can help, but the medicine will work much faster.
Candida yeast infections, when not caused by an antibiotic, are usually the result of a poor immune system response or a nutritional deficiency of some kind. This can be addressed through changing your eating habits, exercising, and making sure your diet includes less fat, more protein, and lots of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. In cases of HIV, Diabetes, or AIDS, follow your doctor’s instructions and heed the advice he or she gives to you about taking better care of your body. Even in cases where it appears a disease may be terminal, there is still hope if you take good care of your immune system.
The presence of heavy metals in your bloodstream may also be a contributing factor to a chronic condition. Aluminum, lead, arsenic, cadium, and mercury are all very common and can inhibit the healing process, even with proper medication. This is called immune suppression and it can lead to far more serious problems than a simple yeast infection. Anemia, high blood pressure, dizziness, visual problems, and even autism have been liked to a high metal content. Try doing a heavy metal cleanse before you begin taking the anti-fungal medicine for your yeast infection and you should see better results.
