If so, you found web pages written by people who believe in a syndrome that the medical community does not acknowledge or accept as scientifically valid â?? called “systemic yeast infections,” “systemic candidiasis,” or “Candida overgrowth.”

The folks who believe in this syndrome have a long list of symptoms that are supposed to be caused by having too much yeast in your gut. Genital yeast infections are included on the list, but there are over 30 other vague symptoms, too â?? including such things as fatigue, insomnia, digestive problems, and infertility.

In fact, if you feel less than perfect, these folks will blame it on Candida.

It seems natural, then, to assume that the remedies recommended for this general, systemic type of yeast infection will also work for your vaginal yeast infection or male yeast infections. However, there is no proof that this is true, and there are good reasons to believe that the antifungal herbs can actually make things worse for you.

You could even find yourself with chronic yeast infections, instead of the one irritating rash you’ve got now.

Why? Because the most common cause of yeast infections is the use of antibiotics. And the herbs listed above are mild antibiotics. They may kill off some of the yeast in your intestinal tract (that is not the yeast that’s actually making you itch), but at the same time your beneficial bacteria population will also be damaged.

For this reason, the systemic yeast infection crowd always suggests that you start eating yoghurt or taking probiotic supplements â?? exactly the same recommendation you would get from your doctor to lower your risk of getting a yeast infection when you need to take antibiotics.

In other words, if the herbs have the killing power that’s claimed for them, using the herbs will damage the bacterial population that is your body’s first line of defense against yeast infections.

It would be in your best interest to skip the herbs altogether, and eat the yogurt. Some people with genital yeast infections also put the yogurt directly on the infected area, to get the beneficial bacteria right where they’re needed. There have been no studies that prove that this works, but thousands of people swear by it, and it certainly ca not hurt.

The “systemic yeast infection” web pages also recommend fairly complicated Candida diets, and there is one aspect of these diets that you should follow â?? if you’re suffering from a vaginal or male yeast infection you should stop eating sugar and white flour, at least until the symptoms and rash are gone.

Sugar has mild antibiotic properties and yeast loves it. It wo not hurt you to give it up for a week or so.

If you want a natural, soothing yeast infection remedy, apply a mild vinegar solution to the affected area. One safe way to do this is to put a cup or more of apple cider vinegar in hot bath water, and then get in for a nice relaxing soak. Or you can sponge your genital area with an vinegar solution, if a relaxing bath does not appeal to you for some reason.

Ladies, do not use an vinegar douche if you have the symptoms of a yeast infection â?? if you’ve guessed wrong and actually have a bacterial infection instead, you could cause permanent damage to your reproductive organs.

(Yeast and other fungi really do not like vinegar, so if you ever have athletes’ foot or nail fungus, remember this remedy and give your tired feet a good soak in a tub of warm vinegar solution. It may smell funny, but the fungus will almost always disappear without resorting to more expensive and invasive medications from the drug store.)

So stay away from antifungal/antibiotic herbs if you have a vaginal or male yeast infection, stop eating sugar and white flour at least until the symptoms are gone, and try soaking your rash in a nice warm vinegar bath.

If these mild and safe home remedies do not work in a few hours, it’s time to get yourself to a doctor. No home remedy is guaranteed to cure every yeast infection.

And it’s important to remember that a self-diagnosis is not always right â?? your home remedy might not be working because you do not have a yeast infection. If you itch for some other reason, you need to know what really is causing your symptoms so your doctor can help you get rid of it before it does any lasting damage.

Some of you may be thinking garlic candida remedies? Is he serious? Before I tell you why it works and give you the top three reasons to use garlic as a Candida cure, you need to understand what Candida is.

Candidiasis is a fungal infection that is caused by the Candida species. Candida is naturally occurring in the body. It only becomes a problem when a person has an overgrowth in the body. Candida reaps misery on men, women, and children in the kind of lots of diseases: yeast, thrush, etc.. Infections can vary from superficial annoyances, to systemic life threatening diseases. Candida loves warm and moist places like: the mouth, esophagus, navel, intestines, bladder, and vagina. Everything from antibiotic use to diabetes can effect Candida overgrowth. For example, if antibiotics kill the Candida rivals, then Candida is free to overgrow undeterred. Keep reading to find out the garlic candida relationship.

Because of the huge variety of symptoms candida presents there is a huge choice of medicine available. Very little of this works because it targets the symptoms and not the cause of the problem and very few of them are good for you.

There are other options–garlic! In fact garlic is one of Candida’s biggest enemies. Garlic has an history of being used as a remedy. Its use in fighting fungal infections dates back to ancient Egypt. Its been used in multiple diseases such as: heart disease, high cholesterol, common cold remedies, diabetes, fungal infections, bacterial infection, etc.. It wasn’t until the modern pharmaceutical companies came into existence that garlic was replaced by profitable prescription and over the counter products.

Now, you can see that garlic Candida remedies are viable cures for Candida. But, you may be wondering why garlic is any better than other cures. So, these are some good reasons why to use Garlic as a candida cure
Inexpensive And Convenient

Garlic is an inexpensive cure, especially for frequent infections. Over the counter and prescription treatments can really add up to some serious money. You have to get a doctors appointment, undergo an invasive exam, go get the medications, etc.. That is time and money wasted. Then, if the infection doesn’t resolve or reoccurs, you must go through the entire process again. Whereas, garlic Candida remedies can be bought without a prescription or doctors appointment. Fresh garlic is always best, but garlic pills, freeze dried garlic, and garlic oil is also available. Garlic pills do not have the pungent flavor that fresh garlic does. Garlic is also easy to grow, and can be cultivated year round. You can not get an cheaper and more convenient cure than a bucks pack of cloves.

Fast Natural Cure

Unlike other remedies garlic candida remedies provide a natural cure. Garlic naturally inhibits the growth of Candida and has added antimicrobial properties. Allyl alcohol in garlic actually kills yeast. It can take hours for prescription and over the counter medications to start working; lots of of that do not actually kill the overgrowth. However, garlic begins working within hours of consumption. Natural remedies allow you to stay in control of your body.

Absence Of Side Effects
The prescription medication side effects, that I listed above, barely scratch the surface. You can not turn on the television without seeing an lawyer urging …” If you or a loved one has taken ____ and died or had permanent injury, then call the law offices of…” On the other hand, the worst complaint that people have when using garlic candida remedies, is bad breath, or garlicky body odor. Garlic breath can easily be counteracted by chewing some fresh parsley or mint. A gentle salt scrub will reduce any garlicky body odor. Either way, I would much rather have bad breath than risk cancer, seizures, painful rashes, etc..

Of course, these are just the top three reasons to use garlic Candida remedies. There are lots of more reasons why garlic surpasses other Candida remedies.

Grace Ibay

A new theory has emerged about the genetic basis of mental disorders, and it has to do with our parental genes fighting for dominance.

The theory outlines that genes from the father’s sperm are in an evolutionary tug-of-war with genes from the mother’s egg. Whichever becomes dominant tips brain development that direction. An excerpt from the NY Times

A strong bias toward the father pushes a developing brain along the autistic spectrum, toward a fascination with objects, patterns, mechanical systems, at the expense of social development. A bias toward the mother moves the growing brain along what the researchers call the psychotic spectrum, toward hypersensitivity to mood, their own and others’. This, according to the theory, increases a child’s risk of developing schizophrenia later on, as well as mood problems like bipolar disorder and depression

A support of the theory are the sister syndromes Angelman and Prader-Will. The Angelman syndrome is characterized by jerky movements, frequent laughing or smiling and an unusually happy disposition. The syndrome is caused by an deletion of genes on the maternally inherited chromosome 15. Contrast that to Prader-Willi syndrome, where individuals are placid, compliant and low-maintenance. The syndrome is caused by an deletion in the same region of a paternally inherited chromosome 15.

Grace Ibay

For the first time, US researchers have decoded all the genes of an woman who died of myeloid leukemia, and they found 10 mutations that contributed to the development of her cancer.

This finding is significant on several fronts. It’s the first time that a cancer genome has been sequenced. The scientists took samples of both cancer and normal skin cells from the same woman, and sequenced the DNA on both samples. Previous to this, the focus was on select regions of the genome, called candidate regions, suspected of carrying genes that cause or contribute to cancer.

The study also found that 8 of the 10 mutations have never been suspected as contributing to the disease. The researchers found them on every cancer cell and none in the normal samples, that suggests that these mutations play as-yet unknown roles in skin cancer.

The research is focused on skin cancer, but scientists are enthusiastic about finding similar or the same genes in other types of cancers.

At her request, the woman’s identity is kept secret, but this is also the first time that an woman’s genome has been sequenced. Previous to her, only James Watson and Craig Venter’s DNA have been decoded.

It itches, and then it itches again. This usually affects the private organ of the person (the vagina for women, the phallus for men) and this affects mostly women. Yes, female yeast infection is more common than male yeast infection, but that does not mean that males can never contract it. The male yeast infection is basically the same as that of a female’s, for it affects the male sex organ, causing irritation, redness and soreness in it. It’s an highly uncomfortable disease, and though it is not fatal, it will inconvenience you in more ways than one. For men, the message is clear: there is a male yeast infection, meaning that you can contract the disease. Thought it will most likely affect women, it would not hurt to know about the symptoms and the possible cures for male yeast infection.

Grace Ibay

Early-onset type 1 diabetes may have less to do with certain genes causing inborn genetic errors, and more to do with normal genes behaving differently for those with the disease.

To find out how certain twins get diabetes while the other does not, Stanford University scientists studied two types of mice models: Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice with the gene variants that closely resembles a predisposing gene complex in humans (MHC), and another group of non-diabetic mice without the predisposing genes. The group found that clusters of genes were consistently expressed in the NOD mice in specific tissues at certain times. What is even more interesting is the gene expression “signatures” occurred before certain signs of diabetes were noticed, such as hyperglycemia.

So if these pre-diabetes clues can be identified in humans, then warnings and preventive therapies can be developed to help people way before the onset of disease.

Grace Ibay

The cold and short hours of winter usually make people eat and sleep more. Some may even have cabin fever or claustrophobia from being indoors most hours. These are normal reactions for most of us during the fall to winter season. However, an person who suffers from seasonal affective disorder may experience more serious reactions than just the “winter blahs”.

A severe type of depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) affects about 6 percent of the US population. The symptoms and mood changes can be devastating, and come back year after year. It is usually treated with a light therapy where a SAD patient is exposed to bright light in the mornings to trick the brain into believing that the hours are longer.

A new study  finds a mutation in the melanopsin gene makes a SAD patient require more light to function normally.  Melanopsin is a photopigment that helps regulate circadian rhythms and other non-visual responses in the eye. An individual with two copies of the mutation in the melanopsin gene is five times more likely to have symptoms of SAD, the Journal of Affective Disorders report in its December issue. Not every person with SAD has the mutation, but those who have the mutation may be predisposed to developing SAD. Of course,  further studies are needed, but understanding the melanopsin mutation may help improve treatments.

Kendra James, RN

I have now been caffeine an saccharin free for almost 3 weeks. Wow!! The caffeine thing is kicking mt butt. I have been using Splenda to sweeten things and have been really careful with what I am eating. I have only been doing fresh fruits, veggies, chicken, lean pork and yogurt.

I have had to switch to 1% lowfat yogurt- so it would not have the artificial sweetener- and it holds my hunger much better.

My scale is still a few pounds down so that is good. Here is to an great week!
