Yeast infections of all types are becoming more and more prevelant, thanks to the use of antibiotics. Candida albicans infections are the most common type, and they can spread throughout your body.

When yeast overgrowth becomes excessive, it contributes to a vast array of health problems, and is responsible for many of the immune system breakdown disorders we see today. Please read the following report for our suggestions on our suggestions of what we have experienced first- hand to be effective in combating candida albicans infections.

Everyone has small amounts of yeasts and other negative microorganisms in the intestinal tract, which, when present in the right proportion, are relatively harmless.

However, when the immune system is functioning below par, these microorganisms can multiply very rapidly and can start to spread to other areas of the body.

Normally, a healthy immune system controls candida levels.

However, certain circumstances can permit an excessive yeast overgrowth, such as high sugar consumption, prolonged use of antibiotics, elevated levels of mercury and other toxic metals in the body, the use of birth control pills, steroids, and cortisone, and excessive glucose in the bloodstream due to diabetes or insulin resistance.

Candida yeast overgrowth can present a wide variety of symptoms. These symptoms are usually chronic, and can include:

• food and environmental allergies
  
  
• fatigue
  
  
• gastrointestinal disturbances such as indigestion, heartburn, gas, bloated stomach, leaky gut syndrome, cramps, intestinal pain, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, colitis, and ulcers
  
  
• vaginal infections and menstrual difficulties
  
  
• urinary tract infections
  
  
• blood sugar disorders
  
  
• skin disorders
  
  
• environmental sensitivities

A Simple Home Test

Try this simple test to see if you have a candida yeast infection:

First thing in the morning, before you put anything in your mouth, get a clear glass of water. Work up a bit of saliva, and then spit into the water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to an hour. If you have a problem, you will see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or "cloudy" saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water.

If there are no strings and the candida is still floating after one hour, you probably have candida under control.

Dr. Ron W. Leavitt, Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Biology at a major university, did a comparative test between colloidal silver and antibiotics, using them against some of the deadliest bacteria known to man. The study concluded that colloidal silver performed equal to or greater than five major classes of antibiotics and killed every strain of harmful and resistant bacteria that even some of the most powerful antibiotics could not kill.

Even though colloidal silver destroys the harmful pathogens, it somehow knows how to leave the good bacteria in your intestinal flora intact.

In a separate humanitarian study in Ghana, Africa, medical doctors tested the effects with 120 different people suffering form common ailments, of which one was Candida Vaginal Yeast Infection. Of the 5 subjects studied with vaginal yeast infection, they all improved within 3 days, and were symptom-free within 5.6 days on average using colloidal silver.

We suggest getting a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) to help you determine accurately what your body needs more of in terms of essential trace minerals and needs to eliminate in terms of toxic heavy metals and toxic mineral ratios.

Toxic mineral ratios and toxic metal accumulation following long term or acute exposure can contribute greatly to degenerative conditions like candidiasis.

Essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium and sodium all have important metabolic functions. However, too little or too much of any of these essential minerals can have an adverse affect on the human body and it’s ability to recover.

How can a hair analysis help me achieve better health? If we consider that diet is what we consume and nutrition is what we retain, then we can see that discovering what your body needs when it needs it is a valuable tool in creating health.

The dangers of exposure to toxic heavy metals such as mercury, lead and aluminum have been well documented over the years. Levels of heavy metals in the body can only be accurately measured using a hair tissue analysis or a chelation challenge test (which can be expensive and have serious side-effects). Blood or urine tests give information about your metal or mineral levels at the time of the test only.

Testing for minerals in the urine measures the minerals that are being excreted from your body - not necessarily what has been absorbed as fuel for your body. So blood and urine tests are like snapshots whereas a hair analysis is the video of your mineral retention.

A hair analysis provides a biological profile of the past 2 – 3 months of intracellular activity revealing a unique metabolic world which cannot be seen through most other tests. The hair mineral analysis gives you or your healthcare professional much-needed information about mineral deficiencies and chemical imbalances in your body, especially if you’re suffering from symptoms of any disease or disorder, including candida yeast infections.
