Signs And Symptoms Of A Yeast Infection – Know Them

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 15:44:37 +0000

The signs and symptoms of a yeast infection are more than many of us may think about. The infection is caused by an overgrowth of the Candida fungus that lives in our bodies. Yes, we all have it, only when it is controlled you do not get ill from it. So, this will explain why you sometimes have symptoms that you do not even know that they are from a fungus infection.

When you are thinking about the signs and symptoms of a yeast infection there are the well known symptoms that we all know about and then there are the lesser known ones. What makes it even worse is that, the unknown symptoms may be the most important ones.

Did you know, for instance, that an abnormal amount of “gas” is a symptom? What makes it even worse is, this same “gas” spreads the Candida infection even further through your underwear, pyjamas and bedding! This goes to show that knowing the lesser known symptoms is very important.

1. Here are the well known signs and symptoms of a yeast infection:

* I think we all know the burning and the itching
* The papery or cottage cheese like discharge
* Sometimes the pain when passing urine
* Even the “old cheese” smell

2. The lesser know ones:

* OK, so I have already mentioned the “gas”
* Then there is the fatigue
* The general “ill” feeling
* Memory loss
* Abdominal pain
… To mention but a few!

This goes to show that it is very important to know all the signs and symptoms of a yeast infection. You can get pretty ill from it and it can become a systemic fungus infection (an overgrowth in your whole system) and the longer you leave it, the worse it will get. Know the symptoms and treat it holistically, that is the best way to handle a Candida Infection.

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:07:50 +0000

Is the burning and itching driving you up the wall? Do you suffer from yeast? Chronic Candida infection can be cured! It may take a little more effort on you side, but it can be done. Get rid of it for good with the correct diet.

General diet guidelines:

Eat real food, snack of veggies and never skip a meal.

Take small bites and chew your food well.

Eat a wide variety of the following veggies: green leafy, red, orange, purple, green, yellow, white and roots.

Eat veggies raw if possible, juiced at home or steamed.

Eat two of the following each day: poultry, eggs and egg products, fish and red meat.

Eat your meat steamed. Broiled or baked and not fried, grilled or boiled. Trim of as much fat as possible.

Drink at least eight glasses of water a day.

Drink herbal tea and as little coffee and normal tea as possible.

Use salt sparingly.

When eating out eat vegetable platters or salads and no fast foods or junk food.

Eat natural food, no sugar, sodas, diet sodas, cookies, candy or pastries.

Eat fresh meat and vegetables, no packaged, preserved, canned or bottled if at all possible.

Try and avoid alcohol as far as possible.

In the beginning cut out all wheat and wheat products and stay away from any foods containing yeast.

One noted exception is yogurt, eat lots of unflavored and unsweetened yogurt. Use it as salad dressings and as a healthy snack.

Stay away from all sugar and sugar products as the fungus just loves it and grows on it like mad.

Now this may sound pretty restrictive, but it is the only way you are going to get rid of the Candida fungus for good. You have to make sure you boost your immune system and give the Candida nothing to grow on. The longer you keep this kind of diet up, the less all your cravings will become. Your body will get used to you eating healthy

Obviously this is only the beginning, and for real success you should look at all the other things you can do to get rid of your yeast, chronic yeast infection.

Discover How to Treat Cat Bites and Scratches Without Risk of Infection

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 02:48:45 +0000

I think I’m a rescue freak. I can’t bear to see an animal in need. I don’t care what animal it is, I’ll help them all. However, cats seem to have their own way of finding me. Once two stray cats turned up on my doorstep, the day after I had moved in.

I think they have good bush telegraph.

Or maybe I was a cat in a past life…

Catching abandoned animals can be tricky, though.

Some years ago, I adopted a very frightened young cat. Before she had properly settled in, she managed to escape from the house and luckily, ran up a nearby tree.

I HAD to retrieve her as otherwise she would run feral, not knowing where home was.

I knew I was in for a hard time. Happily the tree wasn’t very high and a short step ladder was sufficient to get myself to her level. Then the fun started. She kept backing herself further and further down a narrow branch, until she could go no further. By now, she was really frightened.

I made a grab for her.

She fought and bit and scratched, but I managed to hang on. Somehow we made it back to the house and she bolted to hide under a bed. Well, she was safe, if traumatised. I’ll deal with her later. How about me?

My arms and hands were covered in deep scratches and bite marks which were beginning to become sore and swell up.

I found my bottle of homoeopathic Ledum and started dosing myself. Within a couple of doses a few minutes apart, I could feel the pain ebbing away.

A few more doses and there was really only the marks left, the swelling having gone down. A few days later and they were gone too.

How I wished I had known of this remedy some years earlier when I was in a similar situation. Then, my hands and arms were swollen and very sore for over two weeks.

The most obvious problem in such a situation, apart from the pain and swelling, is the risk of infection. Because the remedy had worked quickly on the immediate symptoms (the pain and swelling), I knew it would prevent any infection, and it did.

Ledum is a great acute remedy for any puncture wound. This can be from a cat bite (or any other animal), a splinter, a shard of glass, a vaccination, a rusty nail, a poisonous spider or snake bite. They’re all puncture wounds. I routinely give parents and pet owners Ledum to take before and after they have their child or pet vaccinated. This helps with any swelling and limits the harm.

If Ledum is given quickly after a bite, it will prevent an abscess. Abscesses are common in cats who fight other cats, or in cats who hunt.

A quirky keynote of Ledum is that they are cold, but feel better for cold applications. Heat aggravates the situation. So if the area of the bite feels relief from cold applications (we’re not talking about the numbing effect of ice here), Ledum is the first remedy to use.

If the remedy doesn’t help the acute symptoms (pain and swelling), then infection could set in. If relief is obtained from the remedy, it will also stop infection, even tetanus. So it’s important to keep an eye on this.

The homeopathic remedy Ledum is available from homeopaths, homeopathic pharmacies, health shops and now even some chemists. It is in any homoeopathic first aid kit.
