Studies done recently in medicine indicate that there’s a connection between the appearance of a medical problem known as the yeast infection or candidiasis, and the intake of antibiotics. So many of my clients want to know if yeast infections really are caused by the intake of antibiotics. To answer such a question requires going much further. You should note that hidden causes of yeast infection include many complex factors and are not just the simple result of antibiotics.
In the human body there are always small quantities of the candida microorganism. As such candida does no harm because it is balanced out by a beneficial bacteria and the immune system is in the correct equilibrium. Candida is only a single cell organism, so why does it start to cause candidiasis? The reason is that candida can grow and multiply beyond bounds and turn your intestines into a fertile ground for overgrowth. When this happens candida then damages the internal walls of your gut and gets through into the blood. Therefore the normal proportions of candida and beneficial probiotics are out of balance and yeast infection can set in.
Although the fundamental reasons for yeast infection are complicated and multi-dimensional, certain factors can cause it to occur and these include using antibiotics. Using antibiotics over a long period of time is known to create the yeast-encouraging environment inside the intestines for the two following reasons:
1. The debilitation of the immune system and the death of beneficial microorganisms is the result of antibiotics that kill bacteria without discrimination. This means that a correctly working immune system is no longer available to protect the body.
2. The other effect on the human body is the wrecking of the “pH” balance. The pH balance is the way we describe the relationship between negatively charged ions and positively charged ions. It is the same difference between alkali being formed and acid being formed. The more acidic the pH context becomes, the more risk there is that candida will multiply beyond bounds.
For the reasons mentioned above, you should avoid or at least minimize wherever possible the use of antibiotics. It should be noted that we are often exposed to antibiotics and not only during medical treatments for problems. Dairy products which are non organic are filled with antibiotics among with other chemical products. For this reason such dairy products should be replaced with healthier options like milk products from goats and sheep.
Did anyone tell you that there is a holistic program which is all natural and which can deal with the internal cause of the yeast infection, as well as its external symptoms, which means that it can permanently eradicate all kinds of candida infections?
