YEAST INFECTION & ANTIBIOTICS: Could your medication be the cause of your yeast infection?
Medical data from recent research suggests that there is a relation between the aggravation of a medical problem, known as yeast infection or candidiasis, and the use of antibiotics. Many of my customers want to know if yeast infections are really caused by using antibiotics. The answer to this question is somewhat complicated. It should also be noted that the hidden causes for yeast infection go further than the simple use of antibiotics as they are more complex.
Candida is present in the human body in relatively small quantities that should do no harm. Beneficial microorganisms balance out candida and make for a properly functioning immune system. So why, if it is always present in your body, does it start to cause candidiasis? It is when candida grows out of control and turns your intestine into a breeding ground for multiplication. Candida then begins to tear the internal tissue of your gut to get into the bloodstream. It is when the normal proportions of the candida and beneficial bacteria get out of balance that the yeast infection symptoms start to show.
The vulnerable environment in the digestive tract is also the result of long-term use of antibiotics. This is one of the reasons for yeast infection which on the whole is complex and the result of many factors. Nonetheless, there are two reasons for this:
1. Immune systems are weakened and beneficial organisms killed by antibiotics, which kill bacteria indiscriminately. In this case a properly working immune system no longer exists to control candida.
2. Antibiotics also disturb the “pH” equilibrium of the human body. This is a technical way of describing what is happening between negatively charged ions (alkali – forming) and positively charged ions (acid-forming). The more acidic the “pH” environment becomes, the more danger there is of candida overgrowth.
However, we often consume of antibiotics without knowing it, and not just because of medical prescriptions. Non-organic dairy products have antibiotics added to them along with other chemical substances. This means that you should avoid or decrease whenever possible the use of such products: for example replace dairy products with healthier milk, preferably organic products from sheep and goats.
In addition to the outer symptoms, a solution exists to eradicate all kinds of infections caused by candida. Did you know that there is a holistic treatment which is 100 percent natural and which can treat the internal courses of the yeast infection?
