Yeast infection often manifestst itself in vastly different ways.  For many, there is severe itching, but it could just as easily manisfest as insomnia, depression, lack of energy, or even weight gain.  Did you know that almost 90% of those suffering from obesity are infected with yeast infection?  And whilst we're on the subject of facts, did you know that 80% of us will have a yeast infection in our lifetime?

Yes, it seems that yeast infections are rather prevelent, so what are they, what causes them, and is there a cure?

Candida Albicans in its normal state is completely harmless fungi that lives in the bowel. The bowel contains the necessary healthy bacteria to keep things in check.  However, when this healthy balance is affected and pathogens begin to take a hold, the problem of Candidiasis will follow.  As the negative bacteria take hold, they multiply and colonise.  The healthy balance can be disturbed by any number of different factors such as: stress, chlorinated water, unacceptable levels of sugar, antibiotics, and food preservatives, to name but a few.  There are various methods of dealing with Candidiasis, of which we'll discuss later.

First, do you suffer from any of the following symptoms? Menstrual difficulties, lowered immunity, arthritis, allergies,  poor concentration, and cravings for sugar or bread? Or perhaps you suffer with severe itching of genitalia?  The latter is extremely widespread, and is well-known, although the disease manifests in different ways for each person.  For you it could be: depression, lowered immunity, vaginal dishcharge, skin rashes, sensitivity to perfume or tobacco smoke. Any and all could be an indicator that you have Candidiasis.

These days, the internet is so full of information, that it is common for people to try and self diagnose.  Candidiasis is such a complex problem that it would be prudent to first visit your doctor for an appraisal.  This may be your first source of action, though not your last, for many doctors will take the usual route of prescribing a cure for the effect, and thus the cause remains unchecked.  The short-term may see some kind of favourable result, but there is the likelihood of repetition.

In more recent times there has been considerable interest in holistic cures for Candidiasis.  These tend to focus (obviously) on the whole problem, but with a real endeavour to get to the cause of the problem.  Once the cause has been erradicated, it should cease indefinitely providing certain precautions are taken.
