CANDIDA ALBICANS: HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A CANDIDA PROBLEM?

Filed under Allergies by admin

1. Have you ever taken any type of cortisone drug for more than two weeks at any time in your life?

2. Does exposure to perfumes, tobacco smoke, insecticides, household cleansers or fabric shop odours (some fabrics are treated with fire retardants) aggravate your symptoms?

3. Have you taken any antibiotics for acne for a month or longer?

4. Have you ever taken broad spectrum antibiotics for throat, respiratory, urinary or ear infections for two months or longer or in shorter courses four or more times per year?

5. Are you on the contraceptive pill or have you ever taken it?

6. Do you crave sugar, white bread or alcoholic beverages?

7. Do sugar-containing foods (sweets, cakes, biscuits, soft drinks), while bread or alcoholic beverages cause your abdomen to distend and/or give you wind?

8. Do these foods give you a foggy, spaced-out, detached, off-the-planet feeling in the head?

9. Do you suffer from premenstrual tension, vaginitis, menstrual problems or lack of sex drive?

10. Are your symptoms worse on a clamp day or in a mouldy environment?

11. Are your symptoms worse on a cloudy (dry) day and disappear on a sunny clay? (Cloudy days hold in city pollution and most Candida victims are chemically sensitive.)

12. Does walking into new buildings (such as office blocks and department stores) make your symptoms worse (formaldehyde)?

13. Does the smell of newly laid carpet make your symptoms worse (formaldehyde)?

14. Does getting into a new car aggravate your symptoms (formaldehyde)?

15. Did you have oral thrush as a baby or did your mother have vaginal thrush while carrying you?

Successful treatment of yeast infections is not much different from successful treatment of bacterial infections. Seven basic ingredients are needed:

1. The Candida must be starved of the food it normally lives on.

2. A substance must be used to kill the Candida.

3. Adequate rest must be taken during the time of treatment to give the white blood cells the time and strength they need to do their share of the organism killing.

4. A nutritious diet with supplementary vitamins and minerals to boost energy levels, white blood cell vitality and resistance must be strictly adhered to.

5. Stress levels must be reduced.

6. A positive attitude needs to be adopted.

7. As many chemicals as possible must be removed from your living and working environment and from the food and water you consume.
