Candida albicans is a type of yeast that is normally present in the intestinal tract, skin, mouth, and the vagina. If this fungus is found in normal quantities there is no infection at all. Overgrowth of this Candida albicans may cause a thrush like infections in our body.

Women are the most affected by Candida albicans overgrowth. Antibiotics, steroids, birth control pills, and foods high in sugars or starches (breads, pastas, and alcohol) all promote the growth of Candida. Douching reduces levels of helpful bacteria in the vagina and is not recommended for HIV+ women. Yeast infection of the Esophagus (Esophageal Candidiasis) is also being noticed. Usually occurs at very low CD4 cell counts (less than 100). Major symptom is painful swallowing (dysphagia). This is often diagnosed via gastrointestinal endoscopy.

It is noticed in an individual who is having thrush and a low CD4 cell count. Excessive amounts of white, thick discharge may indicate a yeast infection. A burning or itching of the vagina is another common symptom. The skin around the vagina may be sore and red. Sometimes a burning sensation during urination can occur. The most striking difference between a naturopath and a M.D. is in their divergent approaches to healing. Where the M.D. is “cure” oriented, the naturopath focused on holistic prevention.

Based on the symptoms, the following recommendations that literally will save your sanity: The suppositories made up of boric acid and herbs can be found in most health food stores. The capsules were far more effective than any other over-the-counter remedy. The best prevention is to maintain your immune system. Daily intake of acidophilus and garlic capsules will definitely enhance your immune system. Maintain a diet that is low in sugar and yeast.

Avoid “pickled,” vinegar-cured, or fermented foods. Also, eating plain yogurt and adding more fiber to your diet can help maintain good gastrointestinal health. When it comes to yeast infections, natural fibers are fashion “do’s.” Fashion “don’ts” are tight jeans, leather or vinyl pants, panty hose, synthetic panties, and slimming undergarments. Wearing cotton underwear and sleeping without panties at night will increase air circulation. Use a hot iron on panties to destroy residual yeast cells.
