Are You Always Feeling Fatigued Or Lethargic? Do You Have Chronic Headaches or Digestive Problems?
You may have been suffering from these symptoms and many others, yet your doctor cannot find anything wrong with you. This is a not an un-common scenario and could indicate that you are suffering from a condition which is becoming increasingly common in our society:
Chronic Fungal Infections
Chronic fungal or yeast infections are increasingly common in our society due to our poor dietary habits and our overconsumption of processed foods. This article will inform you exactly what this problems is, how it comes about, and what you can do to resolve it.
This condition involves the overgrowth of the fungus, Candida Albicans, which normally exists in an ecological equilibrium within your body. Under normal conditions within a healthy body with a large amount of good, friendly bacteria (probiotics), the candida poses little threat to us, as it remains under tight control.
However, due to nutrient and digestive deficiencies, prescription drug use, poor liver function, and stress, our normal good bacteria become depleted, which paves the way for the potentially dangerous candida to start to grow out of control.
Also, due to the very high intake of antibiotic medication within our population yeast infection has become so common that it is highly likely that a very large percentage of us has some form of chronic candida infection.
You see antibiotics whilst killing off most of the bad bacteria that cause infections, also kill off all of the good bacteria in your intestines. It is these good bacteria, such as lactobacillus, bifidobacterium, bulgaris etc, that keep our intestines in good health and keep our immune system strong and healthy. If you didn’t already know it a very large part of your immune system is concentrated in your intestines as this is an area of the body that is directly linked to the outside world. Hence you immune cells are here to make sure you are protected.
By taking antibiotics you effectively wipe out a large number of your good bacteria which are here to protect you from the nasty or pathogenic organisms like e.coli, salmonella, and the yeast organisms like candida albicans. These probiotics as you can see play a crucial role in protecting you from a host of rather dangerous critters that would love to get a hold of you and multiply for their own satisfaction.
However, yeasts like candida albicans are not killed by antibiotics. So what do you think happens when you take a course of antibiotics? The yeasts start having a party- literally! They multiply out of control and start to take over the colonization of the intestinal wall, and make it now their new home. The can then penetrate your bowel wall leading to a leaky gut syndrome, and then they can find their way into your blood and then to any organ in your body. This is when things start getting nasty, and your health deteriorates rapidly.
Initially you won’t notice anything untoward. You have just taken your course of antibiotics and your bacterial infection is now gone, and you feel great. All your problems are gone right? Wrong! This initial feeling of recovery from your infection is rather deceptive as you are not aware of what is slowly happening inside you. There is no way you can know this of course, and your doctor won’t know it either.
But then slowly you start “not feeling right”. You start developing rather vague symptoms that are just annoying to start with, but gradually become more troubling.
Symptoms of Chronic Fungal Infections
As the fungus proliferates it weakens your immune system, causing recurrent infections and a wide range of symptoms including headaches, fatigue or lethargy, itchy rashes on your toes or feet, vaginal rash and discharge, abdominal discomfort, bloating, gas, digestive problems, constipation, diarrhea, stomach or intestinal cramps, and an inability to tolerate certain foods.
You may visit your local doctor and he may examine you and run some tests which do not reveal anything of note.
These symptoms are similar to Crohns disease, colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome. Indeed your doctor may even tell you that you have one of these conditions, and may want to prescribe medication for your symptoms.
If you have been told you have one of these diseases, it is highly likely that you are suffering from a chronic candida infection – this is often the underlying cause of your symptoms.
There is no standard medical protocol to treat a chronic yeast or Candida overgrowth, because it is not a recognized medical condition that doctors are trained to treat. You can however obtain a fecal sample which can be analysed for yeasts and parasites, which I strongly suggest you do if you have any of the above symptoms.
If you have ever had a course of antibiotics and you have not them followed up with a complete bowel cleanse and then a course of probiotics to re-populate your intestines with the necessary good bacteria, then you are highly likely suffering from some degree of chronic yeast or candida infection.
How Can You Treat Chronic Fungal Infections?
The solutions offered by most alternative therapist work only partially and very slowly. These include some herbal remedies to help kill off the fungus. They tend to work very slowly and partially.
But there is a more effective therapy that I use that will kill off the chronic yeast or candida infection and return you to normal health within just 2 weeks!
My fungal or Candida Elimination Protocol involves the following;
Complete Whole Body Detoxification – this is the most important step. As the fungus can penetrate the bowel wall and spread throughout your whole body, you need a complete systemic detox in order to cleanse your blood, lymphatics, and all your organs. Without this, you will not be able to completely remove the fungus from your system. For more information on my complete 7 day whole body detoxification program, visit my website at www.neogenantiaging.com and click on the “whole body detoxification” link at the very top of the page.
Ozone Colon Hydrotherapy – this effectively cleanses out your colon of all waste matter and will remove the fungus attached to this material. The ozone is a powerful destroyer of fungal organisms and when used as part of the colonic will greatly aid in removing all signs of fungus from your colon.
Eliminate all simple carbohydrates from your diet – no fruit, sugars, starches, grains, beans for the first 2 weeks. Only have vegetables, proteins and fats.
Use Caprylic Acid a fatty acid found in coconut oil and a potent anti fungal agent. It is found in high concentrations in natural cold pressed coconut oil. Start with 3 tbsp daily, increase up to 8 tbsp daily for maximal effect.
Goldenseel root extract (standardized to 5% or more of hydrastine) 250mg 2x daily.
Use a high dose probiotic formula (or even better use a live fermented culture of high dose probiotics) to re-populate the intestines with good bacteria
Garlic is also a powerful antifungal agent and should be eaten raw daily.
This program is so effective that within 2 weeks any symptoms should be completely cleared up.
