Candida Question #45 Is Oral Thrush Connected With Oral Sex?

I have certainly seen people with yeast infections engaging in oral sex passing Candida from one person to another. This is definitely possible, so you need to take particular care as a female if you have vaginal thrush and you’re engaging in oral sex with your partner that you don’t transmit or move the Candida infection. It can certainly occur, I’ve seen this occur whether it’s anal sex or oral sex or whatever sex, you can move Candida around this way, so good hygiene needs to be understood and precautions need to be taken.

A key area I often find is males who are uncircumcised can much more easily develop a yeast infection there of the penis than males who are circumcised. You can understand this because the yeast will get underneath the skin and not all men are that good with hygiene, so it’s certainly good to take precautions and to be very good with hygiene to stop what I call passing the parcel from one to another.

This goes the same with sharing sex toys and things like that, vibrators, whatever you want to use. You need to take proper precautions and use good hygiene. Hydrogen peroxide can be good to clean and so can water soluble tea tree oil. These are all good ways to help clean and prevent a cross infection.

So to answer your question, oral sex can certainly help to move a yeast infection around from one person to another. Thank you.

Candida Question #44 Can You Recommend A Soap To Use Down There To Prevent Yeast Infection?

There is, in fact. One of my favorite body products to use with Candida is tea tree oil, particularly Australian tea tree oil. The other name for that is Melaleuca alternifolia. Australian tea tree oil has proven to have very powerful anti-fungal qualities. You can use this as pure oil. You can use it as water soluble oil, and you can also get tea tree oil toothpaste and soap. The soap is good and it’s certainly worth using all over your body, arm pits, groin area, scalp, all around the body to help with yeast infections. It’s also very good to use with a soft brush to soap up around the toes and all these areas. You’ll find tea tree oil soap to be excellent down there as well.

You’ll read a lot more about tea tree in my book, Candida Crusher, in the seventh chapter, section 4. You’ll read an extensive section on tea tree oil and the many uses and benefits you can derive from tea tree oil. It also makes quite a good douche. So you can also use the water soluble tea tree oil to your advantage in a little bowl and use that for cleansing. It’s a very, very good treatment for a vaginal yeast infection.

Candida Question #43 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Candida Yeast Infection Connection?

I don’t believe that chronic fatigue syndrome causes a yeast infection as such, but I certainly see there can be a relationship between them both. And I have seen many chronic fatigue syndrome patients with Candida overgrowth. And one of the main reasons this will occur is due to the immune system being compromised.

When you have chronic fatigue syndrome, there are multiple causative factors and many different underlying issues which will challenge your body, but your immune system is often very much compromised. You’ll have poor adrenal health, low cortisol levels, thyroid can be involved, cortisol production may not be sufficient enough to stimulate immunity which can increase your susceptibility and significantly drop your resistance to Candida as well as SIBO or small intestinal bowel overgrowth.

Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome have multiple food allergies, leaky gut syndrome, and many different digestive issues. And as their digestive function becomes increasingly compromised, they become much more susceptible to Candida yeast infection.

So a big part of my treatment with chronic fatigue syndrome is assessing adrenal function and improving this significantly. So I would recommend any patient with chronic fatigue syndrome to do Dr. Wilson’s adrenal fatigue questionnaire. You can read more about Dr. Wilson’s work on adrenalfatigue.org and also to have a look at my yeast infection online survey at yeastinfection.org which will give you some idea if you believe you have a yeast infection, if you’ve got chronic fatigue syndrome.

But there certainly is some correlation between both of these conditions. One of the better ways, in my mind, of improving chronic fatigue syndrome is by working on the digestive health considerably as well as lifestyle factors. It is possible to turn chronic fatigue syndrome around and you can see one of my successes if you go to adrenalnzed; adrenalnzed is the YouTube clip. If you type that into YouTube, you can see one of my first patients that is from New Zealand that I’ve treated on Dr. Wilson’s program, a lady that had chronic fatigue syndrome for many years who is fully recovered now.

If you are looking for solution regarding your chronic fatigue syndrome then I highly recommend following two sources:
