Candida Symptoms

Candida symptoms are so varied and so stealth that is is often difficult for Physicians to diagnose accurately. 

Often, patients are given more antibiotics to eliminate their symptoms when antibiotics can be the root cause of Candida overgrowth. Antibiotics are now the biggest cause of chronic yeast infections. Antibiotics cause a major imbalance of your intestinal flora by killing all of your friendly bacteria. Your friendly, beneficial bacteria keeps the Candida Albicans yeast under control when it is at its normal levels. Once the antibiotics kill your friendly bacteria the harmless Candida Albicans yeast mutates into an aggressive fungus.

Simply stated, antibiotics are dangerous mycotoxins, fungal metabolites, that kill bacteria, even the good bacteria that are present in our intestines and essential for good health. This upsets the delicate balance of the yeast to bacteria ratio in your digestive system, giving the yeast fungi the upper hand in creating a yeast infection. Without the good bacteria in your system to control yeast, it spreads and becomes a toxic fungal parasite known as candida.

Penicillin is a good example of a fungal by-product called a mycotoxin. It was discovered from a mold (mold is a fungus) experiment that Dr. Fleming was performing on a bacteria colony. He added some mold from bread to the colony and observed that the fungus killed all the bacteria; producing the substance he later named penicillin. The number one cause of yeast infection was born in 1928 and is so over-prescribed today that yeast infection is a growing epidemic.

Another cause of yeast infection and the destruction of stomach flora are anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen…

These two drugs are common over the counter medications that many people take. Very few people realize what they are doing to their health by taking them. America has become a nation of drug dependent people. Not a night goes by when you don’t see a TV commercial for some kind of drug promising some miraculous cure for something. These drugs all contribute to the destruction of bacteria and are a cause of yeast infection.

Another cause of yeast infection, theorized by some doctors, are birth control pills given to women. In the natural menstrual cycle of women, right after ovulation on about the 18th day, both progesterone and estrogen decline to very low levels. At the same time estradiol begins to rise into menses and then these three hormones return to normal. Most birth control pills contain estradiol in significant amounts and add to this problem.

The hormone link as a cause of yeast infection for women is very common. Almost all women that suffer from recurring vaginal yeast infections will tell you that they do indeed get flare ups at the third week of their cycle. . Fortunately, there are now natural herbs and supplements to treat and balance the hormones to eliminate this problem. Like NutraSilver as a mineral supplement.

Tell-tale Signs

According to WikiPedia, “Most Candida infections are treatable and result in minimal complications such as redness, itching and discomfort, though complication may be severe or fatal if left untreated in certain populations. In immuno-competent persons, Candidiasis is usually a very localized infection of the skin or mucosal membranes, including the oral cavity (thrush), the pharynx or esophagus, the gastrointestinal tract, the urinary bladder, or the genitalia (vagina, penis).”

“Symptoms of Candidiasis may vary depending on the area affected. Infection of the vagina or vulva may cause severe itching, burning, soreness, irritation, and a whitish or whitish-gray cottage cheese-like discharge, often with a curd-like appearance. These symptoms are also present in the more common bacterial vaginosis.  In a 2002 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, only 33 percent of women who were self-treating for a yeast infection actually had a yeast infection, while most had either bacterial vaginosis or a mixed-type infection. Symptoms of infection of the male genitalia include red patchy sores near the head of the penis or on the foreskin, severe itching, or a burning sensation. Candidiasis of the penis can also have a white discharge, although uncommon. However, having no symptoms at all is common, and a more severe form of the symptoms may emerge later.”

Candida albicans can be found in like 40 to 80% of normal, healthy humans. Normally you can find it on the skin, in the mouth, in the vagina, in the intestines and in the respiratory system. The body immunity and normal flora from the skin and from the guts prevents Candida overgrowth and symptoms appearance. Yeast infection symptoms are developed when the cellular immunity goes low because of different causes or normal intestinal flora, consisting of good, friendly bacteria is destroyed (by antibiotics in most cases).

In most cases skin or mucosa is affected by yeast infection, but in some cases, candida can cause life threatening infections like pneumonia, septicemia or endocarditis in immuno-compromised patients. The ability of causing the infections, most probably is conditioned by the human organism properties (i.e. low immunity, lack of friendly bacteria, abnormal physiology) and not by Candida aggressiveness.

Depending on external environment, candida can form spores, which are called chlamydospores. Spores are more resistant to nocive environment and are very useful for determination of the yeast species. Spores are also considered by some mycologists as a part of candida albicans life cycle.
