They’re More Than Just a Messy Problem…
I HATE yeast infections!…I absolutely hate them.
They itch…They burn…They cause messy discharges…And they never seem to go away. So, I put Ed to researching and here’s what he found.
Candida fungus, especially candida albicans, cause yeast infections.
Although candida is a yeast – it’s not like what we use to make bread or brew alcoholic beverages. Those are food yeasts. Candida is a pathogenic yeast – meaning it can cause disease.
Candida is what’s call “dimorphic”. That means it can exist in two different states.
As “yeast”, it’s a single cell plant. It has a large, round, thick spore shaped like a chicken egg.
It’s asexual, which means it doesn’t need a mate to reproduce.
In its “fungal” state, it reproduces by “budding” or growing buds. As it grows, it resembles a bunch of grapes. As it spreads it grows more branches, which then “bud” more bunches of “grapes”.
Candida eats sugars and some fats the way animals do. And it loves dark, warm, moist environments like the intestines, vagina and mouth.
It attaches itself to the intestinal wall and when in the fungal form tries to bury itself deep into your intestinal lining. It grows roots (like a weed) digging into the lining of your intestinal tract looking for food.
When it does this, it produces all kinds of infections and problems.
Yeast infections are much more than you thought…
Both Ed and I thought my yeast infections were just a nuisance problem I got and passed on to him…We’d do the treatment my gynecologist recommended and that was it.
But check out this list of problems associated with yeast infections…I see now my constant problems with constipation could be related to candida.
· oral thrush
· vaginal yeast infection / vaginal thrush
· skin problems – dry itchy skin / skin rashes / eczema
· joint pain / arthritis / extreme upper back, shoulder and neck pain or tightness
· stomach problems including abdominal bloating, chronic diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux, GERD, and heartburn
· brown colored mucus in the back of the throat
· blisters in the mouth, throat and on the tongue
· red spots on the tongue, botches on the tongue
· poor, restless sleep, brain fog
· restless leg syndrome – RLS -
· chronic sinus problems, including migraines / headaches
· dental problems, including TMJ and lots of metal/mercury fillings in teeth
· visual disturbances, including eye sensitivity to light, sharp ‘hot’ eye pains, blurred vision
· Psychological problems may include depression, irritability, anxiety, panic attacks, personality changes, and mood swings
· body chills and night sweats
· dizziness and balance problems
· gluten and/or casein intolerance
· tingling and/or burning sensations in the face or extremities, including feet, hands and ears
· recurring ear infections
· jock and rectal itching
· chronic athlete’s foot
Those drugs you’re taking don’t cure the problem… And they can cause some real problems!
Drugs have two problems:
· They tend to just suppress the symptoms without eliminating the cause…That’s why the treatment that worked last time doesn’t have the same effect now.
· They’ve got some nasty side effects. Not everyone has all the side effects, but if just one or two hit you…that’s enough:
o Headache
o Blood disorders
o Indigestion (dyspepsia)
o Severe swelling of lips, face or tongue (angioedema)
o Dizziness
o Alteration in taste
o Seizures
o Hair loss (alopecia)
o A severe allergic rash of the mouth, throat, anus, genital region, and eyes (Steven-Johnson syndrome)
o Liver disorders
o Abdominal pain
o Diarrhea
o Excess gas in the stomach and intestines (flatulence)
o Nausea and vomiting
o Rash
o Alteration in results of liver function tests
o An extreme allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
Don’t ever try these remedies…
In our research we found some blog entries from women who tried remedies that were – to say the least – painful or counter productive.
The first thing never to try is baking powder. Although it causes no pain, it will raise the pH in your vagina and just make the yeast happier.
The second thing never to do is use Echinacea tea. It apparently will burn your most sensitive parts…So ladies..NEVER…EVER use Echinacea tea on your parts. It isn’t pretty.
Another lady tried to relieve her itching with Nivea. Apparently, it also burns like the dickens…And worse — since it’s absorbed quickly — you can’t wash it off. Ouch!
A natural solution can eliminate your infection in 12 hours…
With all the additional potential problems caused by candida we learned about …not to mention the side effects of the medicines…we took a look at the web to see if we could find a natural solution.
Check out www.natural-cure-for-yeast-infection.com They have an e-book available that gives you the ins and outs of naturally curing a yeast infection in 12 hours.
The book was written by Sarah Summer, based on the information her husband Robert, a medical researcher, found for her when she got a really severe infection…and the only solution her gynecologist had was to bombard her with drugs.
Now why doesn’t that surprise me?
The book is written in straightforward – easy to understand – language, so you don’t have to worry about getting bogged down in a bunch of medical terms only scientists really care about.
