Symptoms of Male Yeast Infection

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

Many of the symptoms of male yeast infection look similar to STDs and other infections, so it is important that you get checked by a medical professional if you show symptoms of an infection. Getting the best male yeast infection treatment will depend on your identifying and treating the infection early.

It is possible to have a male yeast infection for many weeks or months without showing any symptoms. A person who has a partner that gets yeast infections often should get regular check-ups, even if they are symptom-free, to make sure that they do not have a dormant infection. When you get treatment before the symptoms flair up, it is possible to avoid the discomfort that results from the infection.

Where does Yeast Grow? 

There are many women that get yeast infections regularly. Yeast fungus grows easily in dark, moist areas of the body. Men who are not circumcised usually get yeast infections more than men that are circumcised. The infection will often reside in the folds of the skin and may not be symptoms of male yeast infection may not show up until the area is irritated.

While many men who get male yeast infections are infected as a result of unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner, there are other reasons that men get this infection. Overuse of antibiotics, low immunity, stress, and a poor diet often are prime factors for getting the infection. One way to avoid getting the infection is to eat a healthy diet and avoid eating foods that encourage yeast growth.

Symptoms

There are several symptoms of male yeast infection that indicate the initial onset of infection. A strong smell in the urine, and a burning when you urinate, are two of the early signs of infection. If the dome of the penis become red and irritated and there is itching, this is another symptom of the infection.

When the infection is in a more severe stage there may be a continual white discharge from the penis and there will be burning and pain during sexual activity. You may also begin to see small white blisters that are very painful and make wearing pants uncomfortable.

When the symptoms of male yeast infection are not treated early, they often will get worse until it begins to invade other parts of your body (systemic). Visit a physician so that they can rule out an STD and diagnose the yeast infection.

Once the proper diagnosis has been made you will be given several options for treatment that may include prescribed antifungal medications, over the counter topical medications and natural remedies for male yeast infection treatment.

Treatment

The medications sold and prescribed for women are different than those for men. When you are looking for a male yeast infection treatment, finding the remedy that is designed for men and treats your specific symptoms will be important.

The treatment of the immediate symptoms will be accompanied by other medication to treat the internal cause of the infection when necessary, as the root of infection is due to the overgrowth of yeast within the digestive tract.

Most health care professionals suggest a change in diet when treating male yeast infections. There some types of foods that encourage yeast growth and reduce the effectiveness of the medication that you are using to treat the yeast infection.

Finding the remedy that is best for you may require some research and discussion with a medical professional experienced with Candidiasis, who knows what types of medications and natural remedies are most successful for male yeast infections. A great place to start is with the Restore 3 protocol, which outlines the steps for a candida diet and probiotics to replenish your natural gut flora.

Probiotics for Candida

Posted on July 10, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

“Do Candida probiotics really work?” will often present itself whenever somebody is concerned about contracting an illness or infection revolving around the Candida albicans or Candida monilia fungus. Candida probiotics is a field ripe for exploration, and there have been some very impressive discoveries with probiotics in the last 10 years.

Is it really the case that probiotics kill Candida? The short answer is yes, but this question is best answered by understanding how probiotics can work when they are making their way through a persons gastrointestinal system. It is helpful to understand that the Candida organism inhabits, as a natural occurring flora, within the intestinal tract of both men and women.

About Probiotics

How are probiotics for Candida used, then? For the most part they’re a form of bacillus. The most commonly used form of bacillus as a probiotic is what biologists call lactobacillus. The plural for such a word is “lactobacilli.” These organisms are very much present in the gastrointestinal tract of most humans. The active bacillus found in yogurt, acidophilus, is believed to play a part in the longevity of some European peoples.

Specific Probiotics for Candida

What then, is the best probiotic for Candida? Coincidentally, lactobacillus acidophilus seems to work best against Candida, and there have been at least three well researched studies in humans that have proven this. It is the case today, for those suffering from constipation or diarrhea, that many doctors will advise them to drink acidophilus milk or yogurt due to the presence of the beneficial probiotic.

Effectiveness

Can probiotics kill Candida, then? Research suggests yes, because it has shown that lactobacilli and bifidobacteria have the capacity to inhibit the Candida organism from quickly repopulating out of control. As always with humans, individual variation within a species plays a part in whether or not probiotics for Candida can have a concerted effect against Candida albicans or Candida monilia fungal infections. What is for certain is that the use of Candida probiotics as a possible firewall against Candida infections shows great promise.

Within the lactobacillus or lactobacilli realm, it has been determined by those studying such organisms that many have different characteristics when it comes to their effectiveness against Candida. Therefore it is important that the correct strain of probiotic be used.

For instance, a woman interested in preventing the occurrence of a yeast infection might be advised by a homeopathic specialist to take one form of lactobacilli probiotic over another. Research shows that each strain of probiotic can have a different effect on the Candida organism.

Research

What is for certain is that probiotic Candida research is ongoing and has the promise of one day being a preventative measure in the matter of eliminating the possibility of Candida infections if the right bacilli probiotic combination is identified and put into use. To be sure, Candida probiotics are not a form of medication, but are thought to aid the body in controlling the Candida albicans organism within the G.I. tract.

Rather, probiotics for Candida have the best chance working effectively when they are part of a healthy diet and in people who have a high awareness of what Candida is and what it isn’t. One can gain the most benefit by using Candida probiotics along with a proven system for eliminating Candida infection which includes the major steps outlined in the Restore 3 protocol.

What is Candida Albicans Thrush?

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

Candida albicans thrush is not a very rare thing to have. The fungus is called Candida albicans and is found naturally in the human body. It normally resides in the G.I. tract and mucous membranes within the body.

It can also travel through the body via the bloodstream. Like all fungus, it needs moisture to survive, and is relatively safe in normal amounts within the body.

What causes it to overgrow?

Changes in the natural chemistry of the body often makes Candida albicans, or Monilia, grow out of control. This overgrowth generally starts to cause problems when the balance within the gut is upset. Some of the localized problems appear as a white, creamy substance accompanied by itching and discomfort.

Often, Candida albicans thrush is referred to as Monilia, especially when infection occurs in or around the mouth. Whenever there is too much yeast in a region of the body an infection can occur.

Yeast cells generally colonize in typical areas in the body, in particular, the mouth, intestines, and genital regions. There are a few major factors that can cause this imbalance to occur.

Causes of Thrush

The most common causes of thrush are the overuse of antibiotics without repopulating the body with probiotics, once the round of antibiotics has been completed. Antibiotics kill the friendly, yeast regulating bacteria in your body.

Unfortunately, it kills the good bacteria as well as the bad, but does nothing to kill yeast cells. This then can allow Candida yeast to flourish unregulated, since there is nothing to keep the yeast in check. The most common overgrowth’s occur within the mouth and the vagina. This happens because of the warmth, darkness, and moisture in these areas.

Thrush and Monilia

Thrush is when this overgrowth occurs in the mouth. This happens most often in the mouths of infants, but can occur in adults too. It can also spread from the mouth to the esophagus and digestive tracts. In some instances it can be caused by a problem with the immune system itself not functioning properly.

Monilia often appears as a white film with red or bleeding patches on the gum’s, tongue, and other soft tissues of the mouth. Cultures and blood tests are normally used to identify the type of Monilia.

Doctors will often know it by sight and the cultures taken are usually to confirm diagnosis and treatment of it. If the cultures say that it is Candida Albicans the doctor will generally prescribe antifungals such as Nystatin or Capricin.

Treatments

Common, treatment for minor thrush problems generally require an over the counter medication. However, in severe cases, where thrush either is recurring, or there are other symptoms besides those in the mouth or throat, it is best to educate yourself on how to eliminate the root of the problem.

Generally, the root of the Candidiasis infection lies within the digestive tract, where colonies of yeast have overgrown beyond the bodies ability to regulate. In this scenario, it is best to adopt a particular anti Candida diet as well as adjust your lifestyle for a short period of time in order to aid your body in killing off the Candida.

The best treatment for Candida albicans we’ve found to date is the Restore 3 protocol. The program includes an easy to follow diet and supplements with the right balance of probiotics and enzymes to replenish your system. 

Thrush is a relatively simple organism and is easily fixed. However, if left untreated for too long, it can become a very relentless and resilient problem to be rid of. Major changes in diet, hormonal balance and antibiotics are usually the cause, and correcting these changes can usually provide quick relief.

What is Candida Esophagitis?

Posted on June 26, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

Candida esophagitis results from an oral yeast infection or fungal infection that starts in the mouth and spreads down the esophagus. The infection gets its name from the yeast, Candida. Yeast infections, including Candida in the throat, affect all ages and sexes. However, those with weak immune systems seem to be at greater risk of developing a Candida throat infection.

Many of us may have not realized that yeast infections are not only infections around our genital areas, but they can also form in other parts of our bodies. The infections affect both sexes and affect children.

How to Recognize Candida Esophagitis

Oral Candidiasis infections are most often recognized from symptoms such as burning and pain in the mouth or throat, fever and oral lesions. Some visible signs include a heavily coated or discolored tongue and cracking around the mouth.

A few other signs that could point to some form of yeast infection are cravings for sugar, alcohol, bread or carbohydrates, fatigue, depression, muscle aches and joint pain.

Those who suffer from Aids, Cancer, Diabetes, Organ transplant patients, and those suffering from thyroid disorders, all have a lowered immune response to infections and suffer greater odds of developing a Candida throat infection. They are also at greater risk of developing oral thrush because of their weekend immune systems.

Treatment

For patients who do not suffer from depressed immune systems, treating Candida esophagitis should be rather easy through prescribed antifungals that can be administered orally or through and injection. However, for those with immune system issues, treatment may be different and lengthier.

Prevention

For someone who has suffered from a yeast infection, prevention methods are very important. The infections are very aggravating and can be painful in the mouth or throat when trying to swallow.

What leads to Candida in the throat is when someone develops Candidiasis in their intestines, which then spread to other areas of the body. The intestines are the major place where the Candida organism reside and can grow out of control, leading to complications throughout the body.

Sometimes treating Candida esophagitis can be tricky, when dealing with issues such as holes in the esophagus, repetitive infections, and the infection spreading to other places in the body. Keeping a good healthy immune system is the key to fighting any infection.

Candida Diet

Those who are suffering from a yeast infection should develop a strict diet, avoiding alcohol, sugar, white flour, refined or processed carbohydrates, fruit, milk and anything containing yeast or mold.

To avoid re-infecting yourself when brushing your teeth, someone who is suffering from a yeast infection in the mouth or throat should disinfect their toothbrushes. Place your toothbrush in 70 percent of alcohol or hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes before and after each brushing.

A step by step diet and protocol can be found here: Restore 3. 

A few natural remedies that may help treat yeast infections in the mouth or throat include grape fruit seed extract, grape seed oil, gentian, caprian tea, homeopathic Candid Silicea and Artemisia. Also, implementing a daily vitamin, iron tablet and acidophilus supplement may help to prevent these dreadful infections.

For anyone who develops symptoms of Candida esophagitis, especially those with a repressed immune system, they should seek medical attention. Try to keep yourself educated on the Candida organism and how it functions within the compromised body.

Candida Fungus Overgrowth

Posted on June 5, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

Everyone has a type of fungi, known as Candida, which is present in their digestive tract, throat and mouth. This is normal, and it plays a part in the health of the body. Normally this fungi is kept from growing and proliferating throughout the body by the immune system.

A Candida albicans fungus overgrowth usually happens when antibiotics, excess sugar or stress create an imbalance that weakens the immune system, which often can lead to a Candida albicans fungus overgrowth.

When does this happen?

It is not uncommon for each person to experience a yeast infection during their lifetime. Candida yeast infection is a common female complaint, although men may experience it too. It’s estimated that over 75% of women have had at least one Candida vaginal infection in their life.

When a yeast overgrowth occurs, the yeast can take on a different form and go into other parts of the body. A common problem known as Leaky Gut Syndrome, occurs when the yeast creates deep roots into the lining of the intestinal tract, allowing it to go into the bloodstream.

The blood transports this yeast to other organs of the body where it begins to give off some of its 70 toxins. Chronic Candida is actually a very common issue that not many people realize they have.

Candida Symptoms

Candida symptoms are many and they differ from person to person. The person may present symptoms such as learning difficulties, athlete’s foot, muscle weakness, poor memory, depression, dizziness, mood swings, strong cravings for sweets, bloating, abdominal gas and chronic exhaustion. According to some scientists, Candida infections can play an important role in mental health and other major illnesses.

Candida and the Brain

Scientists have yet to discover the reason why, but a Candida albicans fungus overgrowth seems to prefer the organ of the brain over other organs in the body. This may be the connection with mental illness. One of the main symptoms is a patient’s difficulty in thinking and “foggy headedness”.

Treatment

Treating Candida overgrowth can be done with supplements and a proper diet. It is necessary to start out slowly in order to avoid the Herxheimer reaction.

This is when the body’s immune system begins to kick in and it reacts adversely to large amounts of dead Candida cells, causing the patient to experience flu-like symptoms and to feel very sick. This can be avoided to a large extent by starting Candida treatments slowly. However, it is also a positive sign that treatment is actually working.

Candida Diet

The diet for treating Candida is made up of clean meats, plain yogurt, protein and non-starchy vegetables. Yogurt helps the natural bacteria in the intestines to flourish, making it possible for the immune system to control the Candida.

Things that cannot be eaten until the yeast is under control are: sugar, foods made from yeast, fruits and carbohydrates. Sugar is the number one food of Candida yeast and must be avoided if you are on a treatment program. A comprehensive protocol can be found here: Restore 3.

Supplements

Caprylic acid, garlic and acidophilus supplements are an important part of treatment. These supplements help the beneficial bacteria grow in the intestines, while destroying the Candida yeast. They have been proven to help the immune system stop a Candida albicans fungus overgrowth dead in it’s tracks.

Candida yeast sometimes does positive things for the body. For instance, it can consume foreign bacteria and is considered to play a small part in our defense system against dangerous bacteria in the intestine.

People are often sickly and frustrated because they can’t find help from their doctor and don’t know what is causing their suffering. This is a common situation for many who suffer from Candida albicans fungus overgrowth. If that happens to you, ask your doctor to check for Candidiasis so that you can start treating yourself immediately.

What are Candida Biofilms?

Posted on May 27, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

Candida is a type of yeast that lives in the human body typically. Candida can be found in the belly, mouth, and vagina. Usually, it doesn’t cause any problems. However, candida can multiply and grow out of control, or they can group in slimy structures called biofilms.

We often think of fungus and bacteria as single cells. However, this is not necessarily true. Many fungi, like candida, form together in clumps or biofilms. Biofilms help candida, and other bacteria evade conventional antibiotic treatments. It also protects them from the body’s immune response, which would typically eliminate bacteria and fungal infections. Biofilms are one reason why many fungal and bacterial infections have become resistant to commonly-used medications.

Biofilms

Biofilms protect the fungi and bacteria. They make sure infections like yeast infections and urinary tract infection much more difficult to treat. This is why many people get recurrent urinary tract and yeast infections month after month.

A candida biofilm is a protective matrix that is made up of polysaccharides. The biofilm acts as a shield to protect the bacteria or fungus from medications and other mainstay treatments. Biofilms are bad news for the medical community. They commonly attach to implantable devices like prosthetic heart valves and hip replacements. Many times, this causes the surrounding tissue to become infected. The implant may even have to be taken out of the body.

Biofilms can develop anywhere within the body. Candida albicans is one of the most common fungal infections in hospitals. Many existing treatments for candida, including Diflucan, are not effective. The fungus has become resistant thanks to biofilms. In fact, researchers now think that some candida infections are nearly immune to all antifungals. Additionally, candida becomes more resistant in time thanks to stronger biofilm development. So, the longer that you have the infection, the harder it will be to eliminate especially using traditional treatments like Diflucan.

Another Factor

Another factor that complicates matters is that biofilms usually house a mixture of microbicide species. So, you might find a combination of fungi, bacteria, and protozoa living in one biofilm. This makes it even harder to treat infections caused by biofilms. The standard treatment for fungal infections like candida is antifungal medications. However, these are not effective against bacteria. So, even if the fungal infection is eliminated with an antifungal medication like Diflucan, there can still be bacteria present in the biofilm causing symptoms.

Can Biofilms Be Destroyed?

Fortunately, biofilm can be destroyed. However, the process of getting rid of biofilms is a slow one, and it doesn’t happen overnight.

Biofilms consist of more than 30 percent glucose. So, it needs sugar to grow and reproduce. One aspect of biofilm treatment involves a change in diet. This prevents the biofilm from getting the things that it needs to become stronger like excess sugar.

Another step in treating biofilms is to flood your system with systemic enzymes. Systemic enzymes help break down the unique characteristics that make up biofilm. At the same time, these enzymes help repair damage to the body. Helpful enzymes for breaking down candida biofilms include hemicellulase and amylase.

We recommend a complete biofilm fighting system: the Restore 3 All-in-One Restoration Program. This program contains a variety of enzymes and ingredients that attack biofilms at their source and replenish your body with essential proteins designed to restore balance to your system and eliminate fungal infections once and for all.

What are Candida Biofilms?

Posted on May 27, 2019February 24, 2023 by Teresa

Candida is a type of yeast that lives in the human body typically. Candida can be found in the belly, mouth, and vagina. Usually, it doesn’t cause any problems. However, candida can multiply and grow out of control, or they can group in slimy structures called biofilms.

We often think of fungus and bacteria as single cells. However, this is not necessarily true. Many fungi, like candida, form together in clumps or biofilms. Biofilms help candida, and other bacteria evade conventional antibiotic treatments. It also protects them from the body’s immune response, which would typically eliminate bacteria and fungal infections. Biofilms are one reason why many fungal and bacterial infections have become resistant to commonly-used medications.

Biofilms

Biofilms protect the fungi and bacteria. They make sure infections like yeast infections and urinary tract infection much more difficult to treat. This is why many people get recurrent urinary tract and yeast infections month after month.

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.

Most effective Candida cures incorporate the following program in treatment:

1. Do a general detox flush to ensure your body will be able handle the temporary influx of toxins that will need to be processed as the Candida die off.
2. Follow a strict anti-Candida diet which will begin to starve the Candida organisms. Sometimes, your doctor will prescribe an anti fungal such as Nystatin, which is helpful to aid in the Candida elimination process.
3. Finally, repopulating the G.I. tract with probiotics and even homeostatic soil organisms, which will help in re-establishing the pH and flora balance that is necessary for a lasting cure.

A Candida cure can be found, and you can do these Candida home remedies if you don’t want to get a doctor. The problem that faces many people who suffer from the overgrowth of Candida are many, and typically lead to diagnosis problems with doctors.

Look Out for these Symptoms

Symptoms can even be confusing for the patient, who may one day feel pain in their muscles. And the next day they may have issues with indigestion. If you feel you may be suffering from Candida overgrowth, you need to study up on the problem. Learn as much as you can so that you can decide just how to cure Candida.

You may want to seek out a specialized Candida doctor who knows how to cure Candida. However, you can even look at the different Candida natural remedies out on the market too.

Candida Diet

A low carbohydrate diet as well as cutting out refined starches and sugars will be the best initial method. This is because Candida live off of these sugars and tend to grow more quickly out of control in someone with a high sugar diet. So the first step is to stop adding this fuel to the “fire”. This is probably one of the most important steps in any good Candida home cure.

Next Steps

If you do decide on finding a specialized Candida doctor to assist in curing your Candida, they should help you on your way to the second step which is the use of anti fungal medicines, not antibiotics.

You can also find many Candida natural cures when it comes to anti fungal medicines, including but not limited to: garlic, caprylic acid, oregano, grapefruit seed extract, colloidal silver, and aloe Vera juice.

Replenishing your System

Once you have worked on the second step of eradicating Candida inside your body, the third and last step is to replenish your intestinal environment with “friendly” bacteria, or acidophilus. This is a critical step in any number of the Candida remedies that are available. Restore 3 has been formulated to include these friendly bacteria. It’s been a great way to replenish the natural gut flora. 

Maintenance

Try adding in more salads and fish, even poultry into your diet. They will help you maintain a healthy diet. Plus you will possibly feel a bit sicker as you start with a Candida home treatment. Just keep in mind that your body will need to get used to the changes as the Candida die off.

If you feel that Candida may be growing in your body and out of control, here are some symptoms to watch for. Irritability, abdominal gas, headaches, muscles aches and pains, sinus inflammation, and even fatigue. It’s easy to see when you have a full list of various symptoms that even experienced doctors find this problem is easily misdiagnosed.

Further Information

That’s why if you seek help you need to find a Candida doctor or naturopath. They will be more educated on the problem and how it can be treated. Many times they may even suggest that you do a colon cleanse.. This will help clean the toxins from your body that the Candida has spread as well as alleviate the die off reaction that often happens. Remember that this is a problem that both women and men can suffer from.

There are numerous Candida cures out there and it’s recommended that you pick one that you feel comfortable with. Becoming more educated on Candida albicans will arm you with the tools to fight this persistent and rampant problem affecting so many.

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.

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.
