QUESTIONNAIRE:
1.Have you taken a broad spectrum antibiotic* even in a single course?
* Including Keflex, ampicillin, amoxicillin, Ceclor, Bactrim, and Septra.
Such antibiotics kill off "good germs" while they are killing off those which cause infection.
2. Have you, at anytime in your life, been bothered by persistent prostatitis, vaginitis,
or other problems affecting your reproductive organs?
3. Have been pregnant 2 or more times?
4. Have you taken birth control pills for more than 2 years?
5. Does exposure to perfumes, insecticides, fabric shop odors,
and other chemicals provoke moderate to severe symptoms?
7. Are your symptoms worse on damp, muggy days or in moldy places?
8. Have you had athlete's foot, ring worm, jock itch, or other chronic fungus infections of
the skin or nails? Have such infections been severe or persistent?
8. Do you crave sugar?
9. Do you crave breads?
10. Do you crave alcoholic beverages?
11. Does tobacco smoke really bother you?
If you answered yes to any of these questions,
you are most likely battling Candida Albincans.

What is Candida Albicans?
Candida overgrowth is a nasty yeast problem that can be potentially destructive to your body for men and
women. Candida is a yeast organism that normally resides in the intestinal tract.
The problem begins when our good bacteria is killed off, for example-through the use of antibiotics.
Candida is known by many names thrush,
Albicans or simply yeast infection. It can appear anywhere in your body, in any part of your body, e.g.; lungs,
bone marrow, blood.
The question still remains the same -- how do we get rid of it. No matter where it is in the body, the method
remains the same. It is something that is always naturally present in our bodies.
Candidia is a spore spreading bacteria. Candida albicans are yeast cells living among bacterial flora present in
the gastrointestinal tract, mucus, esophagus, small intestine, and on the body surface.
Under normal balanced conditions, Candida is controlled by our immune defenses; it requires sugar, and
weekend immunity to survive.
Women are more susceptible to yeast overgrowth, but everyone has the potential to develop a yeast condition
during their lifetime. The immune system can become weak due to nutritional deficiency, antibiotics, infection,
environmental toxins and excessive stress and worry. When our internal environment is disrupted, helpful
bacteria is decreased, leaving the body's defense system to become ineffective, causing membranes to swell
and germs to multiply.
Candida assumes a thread-like shape and goes through the gut wall.
Powerful toxins are released and absorbed into deeper tissues or the blood stream, and damages the gut wall,
allowing foreign substances to enter.
The immune system then produces antibodies causing allergic reactions.
This can contribute to infections of the throat, sinus, bladder and many other health problems.
Taking an antibiotic could only make the yeast growth worsen.
How do I get rid of Candida Albicans:
Lets start with your diet. It plays a huge role.
You start by lowering the intake of wheat, sugar, and dairy products.
There are substitutes. For example, instead of wheat, use oat bran.
The next thing to do, is start with herbs and supplements to combat the Candida.
To just mention a few:
Oregano, caprylic acid, Echinacea root, garlic, PauD’Arco,
Acidophilus,(Pro-Biotic) Yeast/Fungal Detox by
Natures Sunshine is a great one.
Ask your natural health care practitioner for other suggestions.
