Chronic Candida – Treating a Systemic Yeast Infection

Chronic Candida

In order to establish whether a chronic Candida infection has become systemic, we must firstly establish exactly what a systemic yeast infection is. Simply put a chronic Candida infection is one that has reappeared time and time again and has been allowed to get out of control. It starts its life as a natural fungal organism residing in your intestinal tract which actually benefits your body and is normally kept under control by your immune system. However, if for any reason your immune system starts to break down or weakens in any significant way then the yeast will proliferate and chronic Candida problem s will begin. It’s also worth noting at this stage that your immune system can deteriorate for a number of reasons the most common being the use of antibiotics, and the contraceptive pill as well as pregnancy, stress and depression.

When your immune system is below par it can no longer contain the fungus and Candida albicans starts to grow and spread to other parts of your body, most typically the mouth or vagina. This is the most common form of a Candida yeast infection (sometimes called thrush) and this can normally be dealt with quickly and efficiently by a host of natural treatments as well as over the counter medicines. If the infection comes back after a short period of time, then you have what is recognised as a reoccurring yeast infection. In extreme cases the spread of the yeast infection is more severe and will start to affect your whole body as opposed to a localised area – this is the condition known as systemic yeast infection or sometimes chronic Candida infection. chronic candida

The word systemic infers that the infection when it has reached this stage can infect any part of your system and it is for this reason that the symptoms can be varied and hard to pin down. The basic problem starts when the Candida has gotten out of control and has started to release mycotoxins, these mycotoxins then move throughout your system and can develop into aggressive forms of other ailments such as severe acne, arthritis and in extreme cases even heart disease. So although the symptoms can be varied a reoccurring yeast infection that has established itself as a chronic Candida infection will always be problematic and some rare cases dangerous and it is for this reason that it is essential that you take action and do something about it.

One of the most common problems caused by systemic yeast infection is a condition widely known as ‘leaky gut syndrome’. This is a condition that occurs when the Candida penetrates the barrier wall between your intestinal canal and your blood stream, which can in turn allow other unwelcome substances in to your blood stream. This may affect your system as a whole by way of introducing allergens, poisons and irritants which will then often result in the onset of food allergies and intolerance.

Treating A Chronic Candida Infection

You should by now be aware that if you are suffering from any form of yeast infection you are not alone and this will include various types of chronic Candida infections. It is because these conditions are so common that the pharmaceutical industry has spotted a profitable market and has accordingly introduced various over the counter treatments. Now while it is true that many of these do work, they are rarely a long term answer and only treat the symptoms and not the route cause. Also they generally target a specific localised area and are therefore little use in treating a chronic Candida infection that has gone systemic.

It is for these reasons that you must look for a long term treatment to permanently clear a chronic Candida infection and many respected practitioners are now recommending a more natural holistic approach to the problem. The best place to start looking for answers to your problem starts by taking a good close look at your diet and while this is an intensive subject all by itself you can make a simple start by asking yourself these two questions. Chronic candida and your diet

Does your diet include any significant amount of refined white sugar?

Do you regularly use pasteurised cow’s milk?

chronic candidaNow then, have you answered yes to one or both of these questions? (And I’m almost certain that you have) then here is where you start. Eliminate all refined white sugar from your diet and replace it with unrefined cane sugar and honey – believe me just this one step alone will make a noticeable difference. Next replace your intake of pasteurised cow’s milk with unpasteurised goats milk, if you can’t find unpasteurised then pasteurised will do as long as you drop the cow’s milk. Now you must introduce some other ingredients into your diet namely limes, lemons and avocadoes together with natural plain goats yoghurt. Lastly visit your local health food store and purchase a supply of a daily supplement of acidophilus. Chroniic candida, chronic candida,
