Candida Question #23 Does Diet Have Any Connection With Yeast Infections?

Yes, it certainly does. Diet plays a critical role in yeast infections, both in getting a yeast infection and recovering from a yeast infection. So an aptly described term, garbage in/garbage out, is quite a good one to use with Candida.

If your diet is full of junk food, caffeine, sugar, soda drinks, ice cream, and take-out foods, for example, you’ll be putting your body in a high-risk category for a yeast infection, particularly if you’re under high stress. And of course people under high stress eating a convenient junk diet are more prone to infection, which may incur an antibiotic and again that will plunge you into a very high risk for a yeast infection. Certainly eating a very healthy, nutritious diet reduces your risk of a yeast infection.

The best diet, in my opinion, are the ones which contain a wide variety of very healthy fresh foods, including fermented and cultured food, sea vegetables, high-class proteins, and plenty of fresh produce. These are the ones which lower your risk and also feed your body with the right nutrients you need to sustain outstanding health.

So diet certainly has a lot to do with a yeast infection. I hope that answers your question.

Thank you.

Candida Question #22 What Are Yeast Infections? Why Should I Know About Them?

A common question; well, Candida Albicans is a commonly occurring yeast-like fungus that occurs in the digestive system and vaginal tract of many people. Up to 90 percent of people are colonized with Candida, but we’re also colonized with several hundred other species of bacteria. There are about 19 common species of Candida known. Candida Albicans accounts for the largest group, but there are many other forms of Candida which can inhabit your digestive track.

It’s only when these conditions become abnormal that Candida can become a real problem and over grows to become an infection of yeast. In those cases, it can create many issues for people. So, Candida Albicans occurs in many women and in many men and in children as well, of course.

And the particular places that the Candida likes to hide out and grow, when you think about it, it likes moist, dark, warm areas and we’ve got plenty of those in the body. The digestive system, the vagina is one, the armpits, it can be the nose, the ears, various places around the body, the groin, around the genital tract in males and females is very common, but saying that Candida can also be on the skin, ringworm.

You can also get it on the scalp, itchiness. In fact, one of my home tests is to determine what level of itch you have in the body and some people with Candida have quite a lot of physical itching going on. So it’s normal to have a yeast condition in the body, but it’s not normal to have an over growth of yeast in the body.

So, I hope that answers your question about yeast infections.

Candida Question #21 Can Candida Kill Me? If I Don’t Treat It?

Well, I can tell you there’s no real known record of people dying of a yeast infection. There are some severe forms of Candida, however, systemic Candidiasis, which may occur with Aids’ patients. In those cases, yeast can be fatal, but they’re very rare. They don’t really occur as a general rule.

However, a minor yeast infection can become a serious one and it won’t disappear without some form of intervention. So while you can’t die from a yeast infection, I have seen plenty of seriously ill patients who wish they were dead because they felt like they were living in hell. And I call a lot of these people the walking wounded. They walk around sometimes for decades in a half-life/half-dead state.

So the sooner you get on top of your yeast infection, the better. To determine the severity of your Candida, why don’t you go to yeastinfection.org and take my online survey right now to determine whether you’re mild, moderate or severe.

And then have a look at my book, Candida Crusher. You’ll find plenty of solutions in that book to help you to stop from getting a very severe case of yeast infection.
