Yeast Infection
Candida Albicans
by Jonathon Miller, wellness educator
Candida Albicans is an opportunistic microorganism that resides in the body, mainly in the large intestine. In most people there is a yeast overgrowth due to conditions that favor it.
The reduction of friendly bacteria in the intestines, such as acidophilus and bifidus, has become widespread from use of antibiotics, chemical preservatives and alcohol, among other things. With a lower level of these "probiotic" protectors, candida yeast expands its presence.
Carbohydrates, especially refined sugar and alcohol dramatically encourage yeast growth. In fact, it is common for yeast to spread beyond the intestines to other parts of the body.
When the yeast has overgrown significantly, it is called candidiasis, the formal name for a yeast infection. This usually has noticeable negative effects on one's health.
Yeast cells are like little toxin factories. As they emit their waste products, they toxify and irritate tissues. There are many common signs of candida albicans yeast infection.
A vaginal yeast problem is frequent among women who have taken antibiotics. Vaginal yeast is just the tip of the iceberg. If yeast symptoms such as itchiness and irritation are appearing in that area of a woman, there is probably yeast active in other zones also.
From the common knowledge of vaginal yeast, candida is usually thought of as a female issue. PMS and female organ problems are often yeast related too. However, yeast overgrowth can be a factor in many health problems, and it is very common in men as well as women.
Yeast infection difficulties range from acne to sinus problems and allergies, to digestive disorders, to inflammation and arthritis; athlete's foot; nail fungus; rashes; and blood sugar problems like mental sluggishness, irritability, anxiety, headaches, etc. Further, yeast challenges and weakens the immune system, making one susceptible to colds, infections and illnesses.
Ultimately, yeast overgrowth is at play as a causative or contributive factor in many major degenerative diseases, including: hypoglycemia, diabetes, homronla problems, chronic fatigue, herpes, M.S., AIDS, cancer and more.
