Yeast Infections
I don't know of any women that can feel beautiful with the burning and itching symptoms of a yeast infection. A long and complicated list of symptoms can be connected to the overgrowth of a common yeast infection called Candida Albicans. Although candida seems to be predominantly a women's health problem, men and children are also at risk. Candida is a naturally occurring yeast which lives in the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts as well as on the skin as a rash. When an overgrowth occurs, it is the result of an imbalance in the intestinal flora.

Candida Albican is a type of parasitic yeastlike fungus that inhabits the intestines, genital tract, mouth, esophagus, and throat. Because of its many and varied symptoms, this disorder is often misdiagnosed. When Candida Albicans overgrows and infects the vagina, the result is a yeast infection, with symptoms of large amount of white, cheesy discharge and intense itching and burning. Physicians usually prescribe antifungal drugs to destroy the infection The drugs unusually clear up the infection, but it often recurs, as a result of reinfection by a sex partner. Treatment of both partners is recommended.

Antibiotics, birth control pills, pregnancy, diabetes, aids, and cortisone-like drugs, encourage yeast growth. Also to blame are diets high in sugar and low in fiber.
Antibiotics is the biggest instigators of candidiasis. Antibiotics kill both bad and the good bacteria in the body. However candida is highly resilient to antibiotics: following a course of antibiotics, an overgrowth is likely to occur. Under certain conditions candida can change from a yeast infection to fungus, such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and fungus infections of the skin and nails. Candida can be passed down from mother to child or from sexually intercourse. Candida overgrowth progresses in a particular pattern, allowing symptom to be sorted into four categories.

1. Problems originate in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. Complaints include bowel problems, indigestion, heartburn, and bloating. In women, there is a burning and itching sensation and an abnormal vaginal discharge that is yellow or white with a bad odor. In men athlete's foot, jock itch, and/or smelly feet.

2. Toxins enter the bloodstream, the intestinal walls are perforated, and allergic reactions appear. These symptoms include the classic allergen immune reactions: asthma, hives, acne, eczema, hay fever, bronchitis, and, in children, recurring ear infections and colic.

3. Mental/emotional symptoms occur because of central nervous system involvement. They include headaches, extreme irritability, confusion, depression, memory lapses, and an inability to concentrate.

4. Symptoms related to glandular and organ dysfunction appear. Reports document hypoth-yroidism (underactive thyroid) as the most common endocrine defect followed by adrenal failure. Other symptoms include chronic lympho-cytes, hypoglycemia, lack of energy, and infertility for both men and women.

The therapeutic program for treating candida overgrowth is based on diet, including nutritional supplements, and herbs. This comprehensive program has four objectives:

The first thing to remember is NO YEAST, NO SUGAR and NO ANIMAL products!. Half of all antibiotics produced in this county are fed to livestock as grain additives. This widespread use of antibiotics (and hormones) encourages the un-natural growth and fattening of livestock for commercial use. Supplements with proven worth normalize candida overgrowth and restore balance. Taken together they form a formidable supplement program to kill off the bad guys and return the good guys to power in your system. These supplements are caprylic acid, garlic, Pau d' Arco Tea, and acidophilus.

Garlic	Garlic is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-protozoan. It has been found effective against opportunistic microbes like herpes virus and candida. Candida, the yeast which causes local or systemic yeast infections, loses the structure and integrity of its cell wall when exposed to garlic. Research
Olive Leaf	Works as an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-viral. The ability of olive leaf extract to destroy bacteria helps fight infection overgrowth and can be used an a natural antibiotic. Research
