| The
Yeast that Causes the Infection
Several
types of yeast called “candida” are among
the body’s normal good and “bad”
bacterial balance. “Candida albicans”
is the candida which most often causes vaginal and
intestinal yeast infection, and oral “thrush”
(yeast infection in the mouth, common in milk bottle-fed
babies and women with long histories of antibiotics).
When
unbalanced, yeast colonies “explode”,
multiplying quickly and deeply rooting themselves
into the body’s tissues, interfering with many
bodily mechanisms. People often have yeast infections
in more than one place of the body, although only
one may be symptomatic.
Candid-Free
treatment naturally helps the body resume proper Candida
balance by killing off excess yeast cells and re-balancing
flora, without prescription or over-the-counter
drugs or creams that contain harmful chemicals.
Important
Notes:
- Certain
habitual changes can best help alleviate these infections.
See the page “Women
and Recurring Yeast Infections”, and our
informational articles Urinary
Tract Infections and “Sandra’s
Story”, to learn the relationship between
yeast infection and urinary tract infection (“UTI’s”).
- If
you have taken antibiotics or frequent anti-inflammatories,
you may also need ReFlora+
which strictly works to re-colonize the intestines
and genital area with good bacteria.
Candid-Free
Formula Highlights:
Superdophillus Acidophillus: This good
bacterium is usually produced by our bodies, but may
be depleted due to infections or immune deficiencies.
Acidophilus helps to reduce or destroy “bad”
bacteria, encourages proper pH balance (important for
urinary and vaginal health) and removes harmful toxins.
Goldenseal Root: This popular herb
for increasing immunities contains berberine alkaloid,
a natural antibiotic which is proven to inhibit candida,
thus very useful in treating yeast infection and removing
toxic substances.
Free
form amino acids:
L-Lysine & L-Threonine which nutritionally promote
a healthy Immune System.
L-Methionine
& L-Cysteine:
Natural antioxidant that helps to search out and purge
poisonous yeast-encouragers.
B
Vitamins 3, 5 & 6:
Necessary for a healthy Immune System and reducing
stress. Stress brings on the over-production of the
stress hormone cortisol, which encourages yeast overgrowth.
Herbs in combination: Cortex Phellondendi,
Semen Cuscutae & Dong Quai (Radix Angelicai) -
very helpful in yeast treatment.
