Relief from vaginal odor or vaginal discharge..

I had never known any different.  From the time I was a young girl to the time I was 38 years old, I suffered with vaginal discharge and sometimes, vaginal odor.  I thought this was a normal thing that everyone dealt with.  It was embarassing, but it took a long time before I realized that vaginal discharge was an unusual occurrence.  I recently discovered that I had a systemic yeast overgrowth which was not manifesting in what one would think of as the typical way (i.e. vaginal yeast infection).  I have never, ever had a traditional vaginal yeast infection.  I don't even know what one would feel like. However, a simple saliva test confirmed that, yes, I did have a yeast infection.  I also had many other yeast symptoms.  I found a product called ThreeLac in Feb. of 2004 and started taking it to get rid of a myriad of other problems I was having.  Things that ranged from eye pain to water retention and inability to lose weight.  As a side benefit, I noticed that my vaginal discharge and odor were gone!


Candida albicans is a common yeast found in our digestive system and throat, when we are exposed to anti-biotics, birth control pills, corti-steroids, or prednisone the good bacteria which normally keep candida under control in our systems are killed off and the candida can overgrow. When the candida yeast gets out of control, it morphs into a mycelial fungal form, becomes invasive and grows rhizoids which then burrow into our intestinal wall. These rhizoids leave microscopic holes in the intestinal wall which allows toxins in the form of undigested food particles, bacteria and yeast into our blood stream.  When this condition occurs the overgrowth is called Candidiasis or a systemic yeast infection. One indication of a systemic yeast infection is oral thrush or a white coated tongue.  The toxins that the yeast puts into our system are responsible for the varying conditions that each individual experiences.

A systemic yeast infection is an insidious disease in that it gains ground slowly over years.  It does not go away on its own - it must be treated.  If you have vaginal odor or vaginal discharge today, you may have many worse things tomorrow.  It is believed that autoimmune disorders have a yeast connection. things like Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, MS and IBS are just some of the syndromes that may develop in long term candida sufferers.
