Candida - a worldwide epidemic and can Threelac help?

What do the experts say about candida and Threelac?

Could a sneaky fungus be making you sick and could the Threelac probiotic help? Candida albicans is a yeast-like organism whose natural home is the gut, mucus membranes and skin of humans. When our body systems are in balance, then candida usually causes no problem to us. However, if candida is allowed to gain a toe-hold it can rapidly proliferate, causing an astonishing variety of symptoms and leading to the erosion of our health.

Many things can lead to this lack of balance but one of the prime culprits is the overuse of antibiotics. Antibiotics are overprescribed in most Western countries and it is this fact that is likely to have contributed to candida overgrowth becoming such a worldwide epidemic. In fact, prior to World War 2, when antibiotics were discovered, overgrowth of candida was almost unknown.  It has been shown that just one course of antibiotics is enough to raise the yeast levels in the body, sometimes with long term consequences.

People who have diabetes are also at higher risk as the higher sugar environment provides ideal conditions for the yeast to thrive, and with rates of Type 2 diabetes skyrocketing it is not a surprise that candida infection is heading in the same direction.

The use of the contraceptive pill is also a major factor causing yeast overgrowth in women.

 

A worldwide cause for concern

It is no wonder, then, that candidiasis has become a worldwide epidemic. Many health practitioners believe that the overgrowth of candida causes frequent, varied and widespread symptoms in thousands of people. The scary thing about this problem is that most of these people are unaware that an overgrowth of yeast could actually be the root cause of all of their health problems.

 

Most women have experienced a vaginal yeast infection at some point in their life, but many are unaware that the same yeast overgrowth could also be responsible for other symptoms throughout their bodies. Candida is a skilful master of disguise and can show itself in many forms, including:

 

·        Bloating and abdominal discomfort

·        Vaginal thrush (men can also experience genital thrush)

·        Jock itch, athlete’s foot and other skin irritations

·        A white-coated tongue or oral thrush

·        “Brain fog”, poor focus and inability to concentrate

·        Chronic fatigue and  loss of energy

·        Itchy, flaking skin

Over the past 15 years, Threelac has been found to be extremely helpful with these types of candida yeast related issues. 

What can be done?

 

When candida has become a systemic problem throughout your body, a systemic approach is needed to overcome the problem. Each person is different and candida manifests in different ways, so it is vital to listen to your own body and take note of what it is telling you. There are many factors that you need to take into account, these include:

·        diet – limit processed, sugary foods and drinks

·        stress levels - high stress levels have been shown to worsen symptoms

·        alcohol consumption – alcohol is a major irritant of the gut and can wreak havoc with your internal ecosystem

·        antibiotic use – if you require antibiotics make sure you take extra care with your diet and take probiotics as well

·        probiotics – high potency probiotics can help restore the natural balance of bacteria in your gut and bring candida back into check.

 

Healing from candida overgrowth is possible with a sustained and holistic approach – with persistence you may find yourself feeling better than you have in years.
