Dear reader. Yeast infection also known as Candida albicans is an illness many people have without being aware of it. At this point in my life I’m talking and seeing so many people with health problems. Those health problems are direct or indirectly related to candida or yeast infection and inspired me to write this article for you. My wonderful results with Oil of Oregano was my second inspiration to write this article. For more information on the benefits of Oil of Oregano go to Oil of Oregano. Or order at our convenient Shopping cartThis article will show you the symptoms and causes of a yeast infection. I will also show you how to do a very simple home test to find out if you have a yeast infection or not. At the bottom of the page I will give you some herbal remedies that have proven to be effective treatments for yeast infections. It is not that hard to get rid of a yeast infection. It just takes some time and consistency in following the guidelines. Candida Albicans is a yeast that grows like little patches on the mucus membranes when our immune system is down. In the mouth it is called thrush. It also likes to grow in the vagina. When we are healthy our immune system protects us from yeast overgrowth. Yeast infection is a sign that our body is out of balance. This means our intestines do not function adequate and lack the ability in greater or lesser degree to absorb nutrients and eliminate inadequate. There are many symptoms but basically you do not have the right amount of energy to live your life fully. It holds you back and diminishes your energy ( see yeast infection symptoms). Some factors can predict your chances of having candida like: Antibiotics, use of certain medications, graving of sugar and/ of use of alcohol. Also, if your partner has a yeast infection you will probably have it too, in a lesser degree.

Yeast infection symptoms

There is a large group of symptoms. Do you have one to three of these symptoms? You may have a yeast infection. Take the home test as you cn read at the bottom page.General symptoms are: tired and low in energy, foggy thinking, fear, depression, anxiety, light headness, arthritis, joint and bone pains.Intestinal: cramping, bloating, gas, constipation and/of diarrhea, indigestion, Food allergies.Respiratory tract: Seasonal allergies, colds, asthma, post nasal drips and coughs.Skin: Eczema, itching, rashes, fungal infections and acne.Gynecological tract: Yeast infections, itching, discharge, and redness, possible endometriosis.You most likeley have Candidac/ yeast infection overgrowth. Take your easy home test. Keep reading ! The following factors play a role in the development of a yeast infection.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics kill friendly intestinal bacteria which leads to yeast overgrowth and which results in “leaky gut syndrome,” . This is a condition which disturbs the absorption of food particles through the wall of the intestines, direction liver. The result is disturbed absorption and food sensitivities/ food allergies. The consequence is that protein passes through the intestinal wall to the liver not completely broken down. This is a cause in the development of food allergies.Research has shown a relationship between breast cancer and overuse of antibiotics/candida.

Estrogen dominance

At age of 35 for women progesterone decreases, and at age 45 for men testosterone decreases. Estrogen for both sexes increases. Also called the aging process or mid- life crisis or pre/menopause. After pregnancy and end of cycle for women when estrogen levels tends to go up. Estrogen dominance increases the glucose in mucus, allowing the yeast to multiply. How to balance the hormones. See Prosperine for women, or Prosperon for men.

Parasites

The other concern is your intestinal flora. Parasites grow, in your intestines and some kind of parasite even recycles estrogen. Especially when we are obese and consume foods with high levels of artificial estrogen (meat and milk and plastic wrapped foods- petroleum products artificial products like creams and shampoos).Poor hygiene and reinfection through your partner can play a factor as well.

Testing if you have a yeast infection or not

1. There is a simple self test to help you determine if you have a yeast infection. First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, get a clear glass of water. Better still; leave it by your bed the night before. Work up a bit of saliva, and then spit it into the glass of water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour. If you have a candida yeast infection, you will see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or “cloudy” saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water. If nothing develops in 30 minutes, you’re probably Candida/ yeast free. 2. Eat two cups of kefir (original version). If you get abdominal cramps and rumbling you most likely have Candida.

What to do to heal and prevent a yeast infection.

Besides Oil of Oregano, your yeast infection diet: the right diet can be a big part of your solution. Avoid sugar… candida/ yeast overgrowth loves to grow on sugar. Avoid alcohol, alcohol contains lots of sugar. Eat healthy... organic food, enough water. Avoid refined starches: Pasta, white flour products, white breads. Avoid greasy foods poly saturated oils. The above are all substances for Candida to grow on and increase. Chew well, so your saliva can do its job.Eat without stress…stress diminshes the digestive enzymes.Do not drink with food. This affects your digestion negatively.

Avoid, if possible, antibiotics. If you can not avoid them take with acidophiles or kefir. Use Oil of Oregano instead,

a natural antibiotic

Kefir or acidophiles helps to restore 85 % of good bacteria in your system. Many of us seem to have 15 % beneficial bacteria and 85 % bad bacteria in our system. This is a threat to our health. Take a three months course of daily acidophylus or kefir. At least 3 x a day one tablespoon and it should be kept in the fridge. Be sure to not get infected by your partner, use condoms, good hygiene.Kiss your friends on the cheek!
