Candida Infection
A Candida infection is a fungus that can be
appear on the skin, mouth, stomach or any
other mucus membrane area. It may be
caused by multiplication of yeast fungi.
Fortunately this infection does not spread
across the body and is limited primarily to
mucus areas.
A Candida infection is often difficult to
address. Many times Doctors prescribe antibiotics
which can actually have a negative effect
and therefore are not recommended as a long
term cure.
This is
because antibiotics can kill so many living
organisms within your body. This allows bad bacteria to grow
in that area. The most effective treatment
can be provided by the GI tract microflora
bacteria. This is accomplished through a
good probiotic like Total Immune Booster. It
works by eating all the food available for
bacteria, therefore leaving the bad bacteria
to literally starve to death. Another
benefit is that it also keeps a low level of
pH which is not allowing the development of
other microorganisms.
The most common causes of a Candida
infection are antibiotics, detergents or
even scented products for intimate use.
Therefore, use your bathing products
carefully, make sure you buy low pH ones and
keep your body dry and clean. Statistics indicate as many as 75% of women
will experience at least one vaginal Candida
yeast infection in their lifetime. It can
cause abdominal pain, fatigue, skin
infections, and even cognitive difficulties.
If not treated properly, Candida yeast
infection can lead to a condition called
Leaky Gut Syndrome that develops in the
intestinal tract. It allows toxins to leave
the digestive tract and feed right into the
bloodstream.
When Candida yeast infection affects the
mouth, it can cause bleeding and may make
the tongue appear to be red in color. It is
often painful and can contribute to eating
disorders. Quite often this infection causes
older people to have sores and cracks at the
sides of their mouth. One who is suffering
from this needs to avoid dehydration. The
real danger is when this type of infection
extends down from the mouth, into the
esophagus until it reaches the stomach. Then
it does not allow the food to be totally
absorbed and can potentially cause
dehydration.
One of the most effective
treatments for Candida is the use of a good
probiotic.
Total Immune Booster is one of the best
and it offers the additional support in
boosting your immunity that has been reduced
by Candida.
