Yeast infections (candida albicans) are prevalent, debilitating, and conquerable.

When the Candida or yeast germ gets out of control in the body, it produces a toxin that not only affects the nervous system (causing headaches, fatigue, depression, hyperactivity, and memory loss, among others) but also the reproductive organs, leading to abdominal pain, persistent vaginitis, bladder problems, loss of sexual interest, and more.

Causes

• Antibiotics

• Nutritional deficiencies

• Birth control pills or cortisone

• Diabetes mellitus

• Improper hygiene

• Anxiety or physical stress

• Chronic constipation or diarrhea

• Food or chemical allergies

Cures

• Avoid substances that yeast can thrive on, such as sugar and refined carbohydrates.

• Eliminate all yeast-containing foods and any that may have mould (for at least several weeks or until the infection is gone). These include cheese, raised breads, sour cream, buttermilk, beer, wine, cider, mushrooms, soy sauce, tofu, vinegar, dried fruits, melons, frozen or canned juices.

• The drug usually prescribed is Nystatin, but there are many natural and extremely effective dietary combatants. Among them are garlic, broccoli, cabbage, onions, plain yoghurt, turnips and other vegetables.

Supplements

• High-potency multiple vitamin, a.m. and p.m.

• High-potency chelated multiple minerals (with at least 1,000 mg. calcium and 500 mg. magnesium, as well as adequate amounts of iron, zinc, and selenium)

• Vitamin C, 1,000 mg. (time release), a.m. and p.m.

• Vitamin E (dry form), 200-400 IU, daily

• Propolis, 500 mg., 3 times daily
