Do you have Candida Overgrowth?
Did you know that one of the main factors contributing to most candida proliferation and degeneration of digestive strength is the use of massive and/or repeated doses of broad spectrum antibiotics. These drugs kill off all micro-organisims in the digestive tract - including the favourable ones - and prepares a fertile environment for the growth of yeasts and fungi.
Candida is a negative yeast infection affecting both men and women and can appear in any part of the body such as the underarms, the nails, the mouth, the genitals (including the vagina and the penis) and between the toes. Mouth thrush is where small lesions appear inside the mouth and on the tongue. White patches or cottage-cheese-like lumps appear on the tongue. Mouth thrush is often caused by a weakened immune system so the young and the elderly are at risk. Other variations include nail fungus, penile and the most common vaginal yeast infections. 50 to 75% of all women will have a vaginal yeast infection (often called thrush) during their lifetime. If the level of acidity in the vagina decreases, then too much yeast growth can be the cause.
So if you have chronic tiredness and other symptoms, see below, perhaps you can source your troubles back to the use of antibiotics.
There are other ways to add to the load:
- Via low-level ingestion of antibiotics from eating commercial meat, dairy, eggs and poultry, since most livestock are still dosed daily with antibiotics in their feed.
- Yeast inducing products, such as fermented foods, yeast breads, alcohol, other intoxicants and an overconsumption of food.
- By the continual unnatural stimulation of the hormonal system, the contraceptive pill unbalances the liver and pancreas, which normally support a healthy environment in the digestive tract.
- Chinese physiology supports the fact that anxiety and worry contribute to excess yeast overgrowth.
