Candidiasis, that is to say yeast infection, is the result of candida fungi. In healthy people, yeast microbes are contained by probiotics, which are beneficial organisms. Thus Candida does not grow excessively or wreak havoc. However, when Candida begins to multiply excessively, the external symptoms appear. It is Candida albicans that is responsible for some 80% of all yeast infections, the other 20% coming from Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis and other types of fungi. However yeast microbes are normally to be found in the human body, including that of healthy individuals. They reside in the warm moist environment of the mouth, the intestinal tract, the vagina and the rectum.

Symptoms of yeast infection can be both unpleasant and painful and for recurring candidiasis, this is proof of a severe inner lack of equilibrium or a degraded autoimmune system. Candidiasis can affect different parts of the body. Examples of the most common subspecies are Candida vaginal infection, diaper rash, thrush in the mouth, and others. According to the subspecies concerned, symptoms of yeast infection may vary. For example, vaginal infection is often experienced as genital itching with a thick, white discharge without odor.

Yeast infection medicaments have been available as creams acting against fungi, and also suppositories and tablets with the same goal since 1990.

Those medications include Butoconazole, Terazol, Nizoral, Diflucan Gyne-Lotrimin, Clotrimazole (Mycelex-7), Miconazole, Vitaklenz, Monistat – 7, Sporanox, Nystatint, Tioconazole and Vagistat. Their effect differs according to which medicament is under consideration. In some cases Candida microbes are attacked and killed by active ingredients such as clotrimazole (found in products such as Gyne-Lotrimin and Mycelex-7) and miconazole nitrate (found in Monistat 7) that are often prescribed for patients with infections of the vagina.They can be compared to muscarinic cholinergic agonists that are the basis of medicaments prescribed for oral thrush and used for boosting salivary flow. Such medications are for example cevimeline (Evoxac, Daiichi) and pilocarpine (Salagen, MGI Pharma).

Such medications for yeast infection may have results in the immediate term but have a number of negative aspects:

1. Yeast infection medication immediately targets the symptoms of Candida infection, but fails to take account of the complex condition of candidiasis and the fact that it is triggered by a general inner imbalance or comparable clustering of factors. The effect is only temporary.

2. Repeated use of medicaments over time may bring on different secondary effects.

3. The onset of chronic Candida infections and further complications of ill health may be the result of encouraging what may be an unhealthy way of life through reliance on medicinal cures. This then aggravates their medical ailment.

This is why temporary alleviation is all that most yeast infection medicaments will make possible, not to mention possible secondary effects. So yeast infection medication falls short of the holistic approach, because as a classical solution, it does not consider the body as an integral whole and only targets the symptoms of the disease. On the other hand, alternative holistic solutions that include specific vitamin and herbal adjuncts with a complete program of dietary protocols and Candida control guidelines, will resolve the inner cause of candidiasis with safety and effectiveness, and prevent its recurrence.

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?
