Candida Cause

Posted on May 15, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

Candida overgrowth is a frequent infection caused by Candida albicans, a microscopic fungus. Men are less affected than women. As the level of pathogens increase because of this condition, the intestinal flora becomes more vulnerable to other diseases.

In some cases, Candida is asymptomatic, but most people complain about itching in the genital or anal area, headaches, fatigue, unusual vaginal secretion, bladder infections, pain during intercourse and before menstruation. A Candida cause can involve multiple factors that must be taken into account.

It is usually very difficult in tracking down the exact Candida cause in most situations because there tends to be a combination of factors usually involved. The same infection can have different causes for different people. While some of us are more sensitive, others can present no symptoms. However, here are the main causes of Candida that you must know about, in order to protect yourself:

Treatments for Candida

Antibiotics have long been thought of to be a big cause in Candida infections. Besides the harmful bacteria, antibiotics will destroy the friendly bacteria that play the role of protecting our body. The intestinal flora will become more vulnerable to Candida and other types of fungal infections.

Our immune system becomes weaker in the presence of certain diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, anemia or chronic infections. A Candida infection could be a sign that the body is suffering from an underlying immune deficiency such as AIDS or various cancers.

However, this is not usually the case as it’s been estimated that over half of the global population has some degree of Candida overgrowth. Candida represents a harmful factor for the entire body, in the lack of a proper protection. Untreated fungal infections which can cause septicemia and other harmful diseases.

What Else? 

Besides long-term use of antibiotics, there are several other factors that can cause Candida. Exposure to heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum or nickel have also been known to play a role in a Candida cause.

Metals wreck havoc on our immune system hindering and sometimes halting immune responses that the body would typically have. We are exposed to these metals in our antiperspirants, the metal fillings in our teeth, the aluminum foil we use to bake with and aluminum in baking powder.

Candida can result from an unprotected sexual contact, as it is a sexually transmitted disease. Keep in mind that men can also be infected by this fungal infection and may or may not show symptoms on their genitals.

Be aware of anxiety and depression, as these psychiatric conditions make the body to become more vulnerable to Candida.

Immunosuppression, chemotherapy and AIDS have a great impact on the immune system, lowering even more its level of activity; thus, the risk of developing Candida becomes higher.

Natural Treatments

Stay away from a diet high in carbohydrates, fermented foods, sugars, dried or frozen foods and alcoholic drinks.

Some of the main foods to avoid consuming are cheese, beer, wine, spices, mushrooms, cream, soy sauce, vinegar, bread, pasta, skim milk, pizza, fructose or corn syrup. All these foods are responsible for Candida.

The Restore 3 protocol includes an easy to follow diet that will starve the candida. The Restore 3 enzyme and probiotic blend makes the candida vulnerable to dying off and is an effective way to rid your system of candida for good. 

Hormones

Hormonal changes are responsible for some important chemical reactions that take place in our body, making it more vulnerable to Candida.

These modifications are induced by pregnancy, contraceptive pills, menstruation, steroids and birth and is guessed to be the reason why women tend to develop a Candida overgrowth more often than men.

Women should be careful when it comes to genital hygiene. Frequent vaginal showers must be avoided, in order not to kill off the beneficial vaginal flora. Avoid wearing synthetic underwear and opt for more natural materials, such as cotton.

Partner Treatment

If you have been affected by Candida, ask your partner to follow the treatment you are doing; otherwise, the treatment will be incomplete and both of you might develop chronic infections and further complications.

Since there is no one Candida cause, take into account the following risk factors of Candida:

pregnancy, oral contraceptives, diabetes, antibiotics or steroids, diets based on sugars and exposure to heavy metals. Each of these pose a high-risk factor for Candida if all the conditions are ripe for it.

Diflucan for Candida

Posted on May 1, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

Diflucan is the brand name for the antifungal drug called Fluconazole. It is a potent drug used to treat Candida infections. Candidiasis is caused by the overgrowth of the fungus, Candida albicans. This infection can arise anywhere in the body, but it is more severe with immunocompromised patients.

Where does this Happen?

Fungal infections can occur on many regions of the interior and exterior body. Women commonly have yeast infections, but immunocompromised patients may develop oral thrush along the oropharynx or esophagus. It may become disseminated into the bloodstream which may then affect other organs. Infections can also occur in the kidneys or bladder to cause renal papillary necrosis or cystitis.

Prescription Treatments

Fluconazole belongs to a family of drugs. Similar drugs include itraconazole and ketoconazole, but many doctors will prescribe Diflucan For Candida. Fluconazole can penetrate the central nervous system (CNS) through the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF). We haven’t heard of many cases where a Fluconazole Candida treatment had lasting effects. Therefore, it is also used to treat another type of fungal infection called cryptococcal meningitis.

Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal agent. It inhibits an enzyme which converts lanesterol to ergosterol. Fungal membranes are unstable with decreased levels of ergosterol. Human cells are resistant to the effects of ketoconazole. Fluconazole and itraconazole are triazoles but function in a similar way.

Fluconazole is used as the drug of choice in treating oropharyngeal and esophageal Candidiasis. One dose of 150 mg is sufficient to treat a case of vulvovaginal Candidiasis. Candida infections of the bloodstream will require a daily dose of 400 mg, and the infected catheter must be removed. Patients who acquire deep candidal infections post-bone marrow transplant will also need to take Diflucan For Candida. If doctors don’t prescribe Diflucan for Candida they will often prescribe another antifungal mentioned above called Ketoconazole.   

How these Drugs are taken

Fluconazole is used in the initial and maintenance therapy of cryptococcal meningitis of AIDS patients. Patients who also suffer from candida infections of the mucosal surfaces such as the oropharynx can be treated with Diflucan. It has been to be effective in those with CD4 cell counts less than 200. Although, it has also been very effective in patients with cell counts less than 50. This is not recommended though because it has not shown to improve patient mortality, and it may cause resistance to the drug.

Diflucan can be administered as a tablet, suspension, or in intravenously. A daily dose can be used. It penetrates the CSF and other body fluids well. Dosages need to adjusted for those patients who have renal disease. It also can have reactions with other certain drugs the patient may be taking such as coumadin or phenytoin. Often if this happens, doctors will prescribe Nystatin for Candida which is another powerful antifungal.

Side Effects

The side effects of fluconazole include nausea and abdominal pain. A common reaction among HIV patients is allergic reaction. HIV patients may also develop Stevens – Johnson syndrome which may become fatal. Rare forms of toxicity to fluconazole include anaphylaxis, hepatic necrosis, and neutropenia.

Other types of antifungal agents exist such as amphotericin B. This agent has many uses similar to that of Diflucan. However, doctors now prescribe Diflucan For Candida instead of amphotericin B as the drug of choice, in most cases, because amphotericin B has many more side effects. It has been nicknamed amphoterrible.

Fluconazole is less effective than itraconazole in treating blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and sporotrichosis. Also, Fluconazole is also not effective in mucormycosis and aspergillosis.

Natural Treatments

Since fluconazole and other prescription medications are not shown to have lasting effects, diet and lifestyle changes are the way to beat candida. The easy to follow steps found in the Restore 3 protocol have been shown to be an effective, lasting way to get rid of yeast infections.

What is Vaginal Candida?

Posted on April 24, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

Vaginal Candida is a very common disease of the genital area, caused by a fungus called Candida albicans. This fungus can affect both sexes, but it is 10 times more common in women.

Yeast Candida infection, a frequent mycosis, is caused by various species of Candida, which, in conditions of immunodeficiency, can become invasive with organic localizations. Candida Albicans infections occur in women due to a female hormone, known as progesterone. Progesterone increases the amount of glycogen in the vaginal mucosa, causing the occurrence of yeast Candida infections. The level of progesterone increases considerably during pregnancy.

Who Gets it? 

It is estimated that 75% of women had, at least once in their life, an episode of vaginal Candida with 40-50% of them having two or even more episodes. It is very important to know that Candida vaginitis is not a sexual disease, although it can be transmitted sexually.

Candida Albicans vaginitis causes involve multiple factors, such as the prolonged use of antibiotics, changes occurred during pregnancy, menstruation, and menopause or after a treatment with hormonal drugs – including contraceptives. It must be reminded that immune system deficiency and diabetes can cause vaginal Candida.

Symptoms of Vaginal Candida

Vaginal Candida can have no symptoms or the symptoms may vary from woman to woman, as they depend on the type of infection. It can also be a sign of Candida proliferating within the intestinal environment creating problems with digestion and a huge list of symptoms stemming from this yeast.

One of the most common symptoms consists in changes of the smell, color and consistency of vaginal secretions.

In case of yeast Candida infections, most woman experience itching in the genital or anal area, changes of vaginal secretions (smell, color), possible swelling and redness of the vulva, a burning sensation, pain during intercourse, bladder infection. Men have different symptoms, such as an inflammation of the penis, urethral leakage, itching and redness of the penis or white, fungal ‘spots’ on or around the penis shaft.

How to Treat Vaginal Candida

Often, vaginal Candida is not easy to treat. Some women have frequent relapses and others do not respond to treatment. In these cases, the treatment can last for months. The treatment prescribed by the gynecologist must be followed thoroughly, even if the symptoms disappear. Enzyme therapy and the use of probiotics has been shown to make vaginal candida treatment much more effective. Restore 3 is a blend of enzymes and probiotics used to make Candida vulnerable to dying off. 

Lasting Relief

Regaining the stability of vaginal flora can be a long process and even if you feel better, Candida overgrowth may still be present and recur. In general, Candida Albicans vaginitis is treated with ovules that contain antibiotics. However, the best treatment for long term overgrowth is by natural means including changing your diet and lifestyle habits and avoiding foods that feed Candida. The protocol including a Candida diet found here: Restore 3 is an easy to follow guide for making these diet and lifestyle changes. 

Eat as much yogurt as possible, because it contains a bacterium called Lactobacillus acidophilus, which increases the number of “good” bacteria in the body, fighting against vaginal Candida. Yogurt can be also used locally, applied to inflamed areas, because of the friendly bacteria yogurt contains.

However, choose a yogurt that hasn’t been pasteurized because this generally kills most of the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt, which is the most important ingredient when applying yogurt topically. If conditions are chronic, however, it is recommended to take these “good” bacteria in concentrated form via supplements.

In the first stages of Candida, it’s recommended to have vaginal showers with bicarbonate; also, drinking specific teas (marigold tea) reduces the sensation of itching and burning. Also, avoid wearing lingerie made of synthetic fibers.

Use a lubricant during intercourse, if the vagina is dry. To prevent the occurrence of yeast Candida infections, apply calendula ointment regularly. Ask your doctor before using cosmetic products for vaginal hygiene. Don’t try drastic diets that might affect the immune system, making the body become more vulnerable to infections. When you follow a treatment with antibiotics, use a method of protection for vaginal flora and be sure to resupply your body with beneficial bacteria called acidophilus, which you can find in yogurt or via supplements found at a natural food or vitamin shop.

Systemic Candida

Posted on April 3, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

A systemic Candida infection can be a potentially serious issue, but if treated properly can be managed through the timely application of medication and proper diet. Though not normally life-threatening, it should be treated with the seriousness it deserves.

A systemic Candida infection usually makes an appearance due to the presence of the most common Candida microorganism, which is Candida albicans. Systemic Candida essentially means that the yeast has entered the bloodstream and can travel to other parts of the body and organs. In more serious cases, systemic Candida infection can sometimes result in organ infection.

Yeast Infections

In other instances, systemic Candida overgrowth will result in what is known as Candidemia. This medical condition is more commonly known as invasive Candidiasis which is the presence of yeasts or fungi in the bloodstream. Upon physical examination the patient will most often reveal a history of several days of fever that is strangely resistant to most broad spectrum antibiotics.

The way Candida can go systemic within the body is mainly by it growing long roots within the digestive tract and actually penetrating the lining of the small or large intestine. Once these roots penetrate the intestinal lining, the organism has access to the bloodstream, enabling it to travel systemically throughout the body.

Treatment

While there is no single systemic Candida cure, today’s modern medical therapies can generally deal with the issue and return a patient to eventual good health when applied quickly and with a concerted effort on the part of the medical team treating the patient who suffers from systemic Candida infection. In its most serious form, such an infection, although highly rare, could lead to septic shock.

The above should be considered a medical emergency and all curative or supportive measures should be applied with as much vigor as possible. As the word says, “systemic” means exactly what it sounds like; Candida will have gotten loose from the gastrointestinal tract where it normally resides and invaded or infected more than a few of the bodies organs or systems.

Most Common Type Causing Illness

Many people do not know that there are more than 200 Candida species which exist in nature. Fortunately, for all of us there are only a very few of these species which have been tied to any disease in humans. As was said the most common species of Candida organism is Candida albicans. It is responsible for 50 to 60% of illnesses in humans have been ascribed to Candida infection. The albicans organism is a hardy species, and it isn’t uncommon for it to make its way into many organs or bodily systems with relative ease.

Sometimes traditionally known as systemic Candida yeast, this form of Candida infection will most often affect a woman’s vaginal area. If the Candida organism can make a breakout from this area it is possible that it could infect the organs in the abdominal cavity, which could lead to Candida peritonitis. Most people suffering from this illness will complain of fever and abdominal pain.

How to Control Systemic Candida

Systemic Candida infections might be more widespread than has been assumed, and it’s thought that many people have this condition without even knowing it. What’s known about Candida is that it can be controlled or eliminated from the gastrointestinal tract by good diet and the introduction of Lactobacilli probiotics which help to control the growth or creation of the Candida organism.

Never underestimate the potential for illness that the Candida organism can cause. Take a bit of time to learn something about Candida so that a small problem doesn’t turn into a much bigger issue. It is a very resilient organism that must be taken seriously if an infection is suspected.

It has been shown that Candida can form biofilms to protect itself. Treatments can be ineffective or short-lived if these biofilms aren’t broken down in order for the Candida to lose its strength. This is a great protocol to break down this biofilm and effectively get rid of Candida, for good: Biofilm Protocol.

How to Control Systemic Candida

Systemic Candida infections might be more widespread than has been assumed, and it’s thought that many people have this condition without even knowing it. What’s known about Candida is that it can be controlled or eliminated from the gastrointestinal tract by good diet and the introduction of Lactobacilli probiotics which help to control the growth or creation of the Candida organism.

Never underestimate the potential for illness that the Candida organism can cause. Take a bit of time to learn something about Candida so that a small problem doesn’t turn into a much bigger issue. It is a very resilient organism that must be taken seriously if an infection is suspected.

It has been shown that Candida can form biofilms to protect itself. Treatments can be ineffective or short-lived if these biofilms aren’t broken down in order for the Candida to lose its strength. This is a great protocol to break down this biofilm and effectively get rid of Candida, for good: Biofilm Protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is a Systemic Candida Infection?

Posted on April 3, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

A systemic Candida infection can be a potentially serious issue, but if treated properly can be managed through the timely application of medication and proper diet. Though not normally life-threatening, it should be treated with the seriousness it deserves.

A systemic Candida infection usually makes an appearance due to the presence of the most common Candida microorganism, which is Candida albicans. Systemic Candida essentially means that the yeast has entered the bloodstream and can travel to other parts of the body and organs. In more serious cases, systemic Candida infection can sometimes result in organ infection.

Yeast Infections

In other instances, systemic Candida overgrowth will result in what is known as Candidemia. This medical condition is more commonly known as invasive Candidiasis which is the presence of yeasts or fungi in the bloodstream. Upon physical examination the patient will most often reveal a history of several days of fever that is strangely resistant to most broad spectrum antibiotics.

The way Candida can go systemic within the body is mainly by it growing long roots within the digestive tract and actually penetrating the lining of the small or large intestine. Once these roots penetrate the intestinal lining, the organism has access to the bloodstream, enabling it to travel systemically throughout the body.

Treatment

While there is no single systemic Candida cure, today’s modern medical therapies can generally deal with the issue and return a patient to eventual good health when applied quickly and with a concerted effort on the part of the medical team treating the patient who suffers from systemic Candida infection. In its most serious form, such an infection, although highly rare, could lead to septic shock.

The above should be considered a medical emergency and all curative or supportive measures should be applied with as much vigor as possible. As the word says, “systemic” means exactly what it sounds like; Candida will have gotten loose from the gastrointestinal tract where it normally resides and invaded or infected more than a few of the bodies organs or systems.

Most Common Type Causing Illness

Many people do not know that there are more than 200 Candida species which exist in nature. Fortunately, for all of us there are only a very few of these species which have been tied to any disease in humans. As was said the most common species of Candida organism is Candida albicans. It is responsible for 50 to 60% of illnesses in humans have been ascribed to Candida infection. The albicans organism is a hardy species, and it isn’t uncommon for it to make its way into many organs or bodily systems with relative ease.

Sometimes traditionally known as systemic Candida yeast, this form of Candida infection will most often affect a woman’s vaginal area. If the Candida organism can make a breakout from this area it is possible that it could infect the organs in the abdominal cavity, which could lead to Candida peritonitis. Most people suffering from this illness will complain of fever and abdominal pain.
