Understanding Candida Yeast Infections This article is based on what I’ve learned from helping people conquer candida. I’ve made it so extensive because:
Many customers have told me they suffered from candida yeast infection symptoms for years and didn't know they had it. They’d gone to doctor after doctor who looked at them like the were crazy. Who told them that there was nothing wrong, "It's all in your head." And gave you some antibiotics - which only makes the candida worse. I don’t know how many people I’ve talked to who have told me their doctors were clueless when it came to candida. Hopefully, you’re one of the lucky ones whose candida overgrowth or yeast infection is relatively new. A matter of months rather than years or a lifetime of infection. Using some of the products in this report, that just plain work better than other candida fighting products, you can get rid of it reasonably fast, without going on a strict diet, and be able to keep it from coming back. Though it won't be a quick fix. Claims that you can get over your yeast infection in two weeks or a month just aren't true. You can certainly get over or improve symptoms, but the candida is still lurking in parts of your body, and will come back all to soon. If you have been fighting it for years and still have it, you know there is no easy and quick victory, and that it will take months and months to eliminate the overgrowth throughout the body - if your regime is working well. And even longer if you’re really wiped out. This is not a take one pill for a week or two and it’s gone. Candida is way tougher then that. But victory there can be - if you hit it hard enough with the right stuff. Typical Candida Yeast Infection Symptoms
It’s estimated that 85% of Americans have or have had a candida yeast infection. While those numbers are staggering, most people haven’t a clue that yeast has grown out of control in their body. Triggering a plethora of health problems. If you’ve discovered that you have a candida yeast infection, you may already be discouraged, disappointed and angry with yourself because all of those products your doctor or nutritionist told you to buy aren’t working as well as you’d hope. Look, it’s not your fault. Candida is so nasty and stubborn that some health practitioners would agree that cancer is easier to kill. First, we need to truly find out if you're suffering from a candida yeast overgrowth and not another problem. After that we are going to show you how you got candida and what it does in your body. How Do I Tell If I Have Candida? Take The Free And Simple Spit Test! First, let’s save you a little money. I’ve heard too often people telling me that the stool sample or blood test for candida their doctor had them take came back negative. Even though it was clear from their symptoms that they had extensive candida overgrowth. A test that seems to be at least as accurate, plus its easy and free, is the following spit test. Will You Pass This Test? This simple spit test can determine if you're actually battling candida. First thing in the morning, rinse out your mouth. Then get a clear glass of water. Work up some saliva, and spit into the glass of water. Keep an eye on the water for half an hour up to one hour - especially the first few minutes. If you have a candida yeast infection, you will see one of three, or even all three of the following:
The more you see of any or all of these, and the faster you see it, the worse the overgrowth. If you spit and almost immediately you see stuff falling out of the saliva, you know you’ve got it bad. If 20 minutes after spitting you see just a little bit falling out of the saliva, you’ve got it, but not as extensive. If the saliva just floats on top and the water stays perfectly clear, you probably don’t have candida overgrowth. You can even take this test right now, during the day. Candida concentrates in saliva overnight so it will be more accurate first thing in the morning, but you should see something even during the day if you have fairly extensive overgrowth. Confirm this test by checking to see if you have several of the many candida symptoms. If you have gotten rid of your symptoms and the test shows clear, you’ve got rid of the candida overgrowth in your body. But that won’t happen for quite a while if you are just starting to fight it, or have had it a long time. It is very invasive and extremely difficult to get rid of. Do you….
A yes to 3 or more of these questions indicates fungal overgrowth. Also take a look at these other typical candida symptoms to see if you have any of them.
Some disorders that usually are accompanied by Candida overgrowth:
Ever wonder why so many women have to use progesterone cream? Many women lack adequate amounts of progesterone because Candida devours it, and changes it into the not so pleasant drug prednisone. In fact, drug companies farm fungus colonies, feeding them progesterone to make the drug prednisone which they then sell to consumers as a remedy for a whole host of ill health conditions. This is one reason why most women are estrogen dominant. They lack progesterone due to candida destroying it. This imbalance can cause the face to break out, breasts to lose firmness, hair problems and the most significant…. Depression even migraines. Aside from these problems a woman’s skin can become so sensitive she can’t stand to be touched. The skin can become so painful intimacy becomes impossible. And of course estrogen dominance is connected up with breast cancer and other hormonal cancers. Why Does Candida Overgrow? Cortisone, birth-control pills, antibiotics (which are also in meat and milk products), medications, and even drinking chlorinated water or showering in chlorinated water, causes the partial or total destruction of your 4-8 lbs of friendly bacteria in the lower gut, but do not harm the candida. About 85% of all organisms in the intestines should be friendly bacteria. The remaining 15% should be comprised primarily of not so friendly, but still useful in small amounts, bad bacteria and candida. Your body needs 85% friendly bacteria to keep the bad stuff in check. Candida is much more powerful than friendly bacteria. As it cannot protect itself from bacteria with antibodies, candida produces deadly mycotoxins that kill friendly bacteria. Fungus is a natural enemy of bacteria. In fact, antibiotics are made from fungus toxins which kill bacteria. So unfortunately when you take antibiotics, it destroys your friendly bacteria and allows candida to overgrow. And the candida, as it overgrows, produces even more toxins that kill more friendly bacteria and poison your body. What Happens To You After Candida Overgrows In Your Intestinal Tract? As candida overgrows in the intestinal tract, it drills holes in your intestinal wall and spreads throughout your body, causing everything from vaginal infections to ear infections to toenail fungus. But even before that, it does can ruin your health. Once it overgrows in the large intestine, where it is supposed to be in small amounts, it migrates upward into the small intestines where digestion and assimilation of all nutrients takes place. When the small intestine is overgrown with candida, your digestion is inhibited as many of the beneficial bacteria in the small intestines that are needed for digestion, and for your immune system, are killed by the candida. So.... You crave sweets. Candida upsets your body’s sugar system as it seeks it favorite food, sugar. Because your digestion is disrupted, you don’t get enough of the minerals you need to escort sugar and insulin into the cells, and you become hypoglycemic as not enough sugar can get into your cells. This gives you low cellular sugar levels, which helps the candida even more because now the cells do not have enough sugar to burn for energy so they signal your body to eat more sweets and carbohydrates. Giving the candida an ample supply of their favorite foods. And since you don’t have the minerals you need to get the sugar into your cells, you run low during the night. So the brain signals your adrenal gland to produce more adrenal hormones to keep the body functioning during the night, which it does. One side effect of this is that you may get hot at night or have night sweats. And because the adrenal gland is now working 24 hours per day, it eventually burns out and you have adrenal fatigue -- another reason why candida overgrowth leads to fatigue. Diabetes can develop from the excess sugar consumption. It also develops if the candida colonizes in the pancreas and disrupts its ability to function. Candida can attack and colonize any organ in your body. Doctors doing autopsies have found hearts completely infiltrated with candida. It could be in your thyroid and cause thyroid problems. Or in your kidneys, wherever. In all these cases, you may never realize you are infected because there are no nerves that would signal problems. However, you do notice candida when it colonizes your skin, sinuses, ears. One of the more common ones is a vaginal yeast infection. If a vaginal infection is caused by this overgrowth from the intestinal tract, then all the topical lotions you use won’t keep it from coming back. One reason candida is so tough to get rid of is that it can be in so many parts of your body. The longer you’ve had it, the more you’ll have. So it won’t take as long for a child of five to get rid of it than someone who has had it for 20 years. And again, if you have had it a short period of time, you will not have to do as much to get rid of it. While if you have a serious infection, you will have to do more, and may need to do more of the candida diet. In all cases regarding the diet, it is much healthier to stay away from sugars and refined flours in general, and especially the first month when you have serious candida overgrowth.
