Yeast Cures…. An Holistic Approach

September 9th, 2011

Before beginning to talk to you about yeast cures, let me first explain what is causing your yeast infection. There is a yeast or fungus, called Candida albicans, which inhabits the intestinal tract of 80% of humans. It sits there quite happily, without any ill-effects most of the time. Its’ numbers are controlled by other, similar, microorganisms and together they make up the ‘gut flora’.

It is most frequently found that, in women, yeast infections are the second most common instigators of vaginal discharge, discomfort, itching and burning. Yeasts are found in the vagina of between 20% and 50% of healthy women, but a change of environment in the vagina can cause the yeasts to multiply out of control, resulting in an infection.

The use of antibiotics and steroids is the most persistent reason for yeast overgrowth, but pregnancy, menstruation, sperm, diabetes, and birth control pills can also play a part in initiating a yeast infection. Women also become more prone to yeast infections following the menopause.

When our health becomes compromised, for whatever reason, and we fall ill, we turn to our doctors for advice. If this results in a prescription for antibiotics or steroid treatments, the use of these medications can devastate the delicate balance of gut flora by killing off a huge proportion of the friendly bacteria which live in our intestines. This leaves the way clear for Candida albicans to multiply out of control, making us susceptible to yeast infection.

Think for a moment, how many times have you experienced diarrhoea following a course of antibiotics? This is a result of the antibiotics killing off the friendly bacteria. Candida albicans then becomes free to multiply out of control in the gut. Diarrhoea is the most common after effect of using antibiotics and yeast infections, also known as Thrush, is the second most common.

Yeast infections will commonly be found in areas that are warm and moist. These comprise the mouth (it is often found here in babies), the armpits, the groin and genital area, beneath the breasts and in folds of skin on the lower body.

Candida albicans can also cause a systemic infection by passing into the bloodstream. This is made possible through cuts or skin damage, or with the aid of medical instruments such as hypodermics, urinary catheters and IV devices. Almost 15% of those with impaired immune systems develop a systemic illness. A systemic infection is a much more dangerous issue; the treatment is more problematic and not always successful, sometimes resulting in the death of the patient.

There is a real risk of systemic infection to people who have a compromised immune system due to cancer treatments (chemotherapy), those with AIDS, patients of organ and bone marrow transplants and patients in high dependency and intensive care units.

Treatments for yeast infection are widely available as topical preparations (creams and pessaries) or oral medication (tablet form). There are over the counter cure for yeast infection or those available by prescription from your doctor. Topical and oral preparations do tend to work well at dealing with the symptoms of yeast infection in most cases.

The trouble with yeast infection is that it tends to come back time and time again. It starts with the burning, then that infernal itching and soreness, and is always an embarrassment. It makes you feel that you have been neglecting your personal hygiene, though this is not the cause.

What you need to find is a permanent yeast cure, a natural remedy. The book Yeast Infection No More byLinda Allen offers you that permanent relief from yeast infection. Linda Allen, a certified nutritionist, health consultant and author, has produced the best selling book on the Internet on the topic of yeast infection. It does not simply offer just another remedy, this is a well researched and tested program that offers a holistic approach to the problem of yeast infection and, if the author’s advice is followed, will completely rid you of your yeast infection for good.

I have always been a ‘carer’ – a big Sister, a Wife, a Mum and a Nan – and I have spent most of my working life in healthcare.When I was forced to retire early, due to ill health, and was home alone all day, not able to leave the house unaccompanied, I became lonely and isolated. Then two things changed my life – the purchase of a companion dog, a Shih Tzu whom I named Mollie, and the gift of a laptop computer for my birthday. I had a renewed interest in life, Mollie meant I could leave the house without human company, and the laptop got me away from daytime TV.I pottered around the Internet for a couple of months before I thought of a way to put my time to good use. I started looking at information sites to find out what sort of things people were doing, and I realised they were mostly looking for information to solve their problems. Coming from a healthcare background, this field attracted my interest and I decided to research health-related problems and create a blog.I now spend my days caring for and enjoying the company of Mollie, and researching solutions to people’s problems on the Internet.This blog is the best way I know of reaching the most people with the results of my research. I hope you will find it helpful.- please take a look Yeast Cures – An Holistic Approach
