How To Cure A Yeast Infection?

April 16th, 2010

Having a yeast infection is not the end of the world, but letting it untreated can create you some health problems along the way, and not even talking about the physical discomfort of its symptoms. You need to find workable ways to stop it and not let it become a chronic condition.

There are many reason why someone, especially women, may get yeast candidiasis.In this article we will discuss different yeast infection cures. The most common one is sexual transmission from an infected partner. Antibiotic treatments as well as steroids and birth control pills can contribute to an yeast bacteria overgrowth in your body. Other important cause of yeast fungus is a poor diet in fresh vegetables and fruits combined with lots of sugary products consumption. Sugar can help feed the yeast fungus in your body, making it thriving.

First thing that you should do when you have symptoms of yeast infection is to make an appointment to your doctor and make sure what you might think is thrush, it really is. Most times women may think they have vaginal thrush only to be bacterial vaginosis and to apply the wrong treatment, usually otc drugs, and their symptoms to worsen. A doctor will tell you for sure if you really have Candida Albicans and give you a cure yeast infection. Most of the time they will prescribe the so called OTC drugs. Monistat is the most popular. Yet, many women they abuse it.

Some women do experience chronic yeast infections. This means they experience such infections at least several times per year, usually more than four times. The scenario is like this: when they see they have got some foul smelly discharge they go and buy some otc drugs and take it, the infection go away for a month or two than it reappears. When such things happens, and many women and men do experience them, you need to change your diet and take some anti-fungal treatments. Off course, if you take some kind of antibiotic medication you need to see if you can stop it. A goos tip is to eat plenty of unsweetened yogurt while you have the treatment to avoid damage to your internal balance.

Following an anti-yeast diet is hard thing to do. But if you want to cure yeast infection you need to follow one for at least three months. There are lots of internet resources for yeast infection diet, but the main thing to remember is that you have to eliminate sugar from your diet completely, including honey, and yeast based foods, such as bread, pasta, etc.

Besides a proper diet, you need to clear the yeast fungus in your body. The simplest way to do this is by taking anti-fungal treatments such as Diflucan. You can try also natural cures for yeast infection such as apple cider vinegar and garlic, the last been a very efficient anti-fungal.

How to make Yogurt at Home

January 10th, 2010

Yogurt Maker Machines & Acessories

I’ve made yogurt at home about a dozen times now, and it’s pretty easy, fun and economical, and there’s something gratifying about making a cultured food product of your own, without preservatives, thickeners, sugars and other additives that most store-bought yogurts have. The process I use makes a nice, mild-tasting yogurt.

Here is what you’ll need:

-          a medium-large cooler  box

-          2-3 glass or plastic quart-sized containers (like pitchers, empty soda bottles, etc.)

-          a kitchen thermometer

-          about a dozen glass or ceramic cups for the yogurt

-          milk (low fat to whole) – the amount of milk you use is the amount of yogurt you will get

-          small container of unsweetened, unflavored yogurt with live cultures  - for a more consistent result, you might want to try a commercially-available starter, available at many stores

-          an option is to add some powdered milk, if you want your yogurt thicker, but with a good starter, this usually isn’t necessary

This is what you have to do:

1. Heat the milk

The milk needs to be heated to about 170-180F (76-82 C). This is for two reasons:

It kills any other bacteria that might be in the milk that would compete against the bacteria that convert milk to yogurt.

It changes the milk protein in a way that allows it to culture and firm up.

Keep stirring the milk and do not let it go past 180F (80 C). If it scorches, your yogurt will taste bad.

2. Sterilize the containers

I use boiling water from an electric kettle to sterilize my (cleaned) containers. Add the boiling water, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and then pour out the hot water.

3. Cool the milk and inoculate

Once the milk reaches 170-180F (76-82C), turn off the burner and continue to stir it as it cools. You only need to stir it for another 2-3 minutes, to prevent any of the milk from scorching at the bottom of your pot.

Once it reaches 105-110F (40-43C), mix up your plain yogurt in its container until it’s liquid, and add it to the pot of warm milk. Stir it for a couple of minutes for the yogurt to dissolve well into the milk. This will spread the bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidus, and other bacteria, depending on your source) throughout the milk and allow it to start to grow.

4. Pour into containers

Pour the inoculated milk into the containers.

5. Load into cooler and put in heat sources

Put all the containers into the cooler box or bag, along with the pitchers full of hot water from the tap. The heat from those containers will keep the containers warm. The heat should be maintained and stable throughout the process, so try to avoid opening the container at all until the end of the process. The fermentation takes anywhere from 4-8 hours (about 6 is ideal).

If the cooler/kitchen was a bit cool before you put everything in, you might want to quickly take those containers out at about the 1-2 hour point and refresh with hot water. But keep the cooler closed as much as possible, to avoid letting the temperature of the yogurt containers from dropping.

Also, avoid jostling the cooler, even if you have to open it up to refresh the hot water. It needs stillness to firm up.

6. Check yogurt to see if done

After about 6-8 hours (or a bit longer, if the temperature in your cooler is below 100F/39C), the yogurt should be firm. Test by gently turning it to see if it keeps its shape.

There will be some slightly yellowish, viscous liquid on the top. This is whey. You can either pour it off, or just mix it into the yogurt when you eat it.

7. Cover and refrigerate!

Cap or cover your yogurt and put them into your refrigerator. They’ll last about 2 weeks.

If you want to use one of these yogurts as a starter for your next batch, use the yogurt within 5-7 days, or else freeze some of the fresh  yogurt, and let it thaw before using it to inoculate the sterilized milk.

How to Cure Every Candida Die Off Symptom

November 19th, 2009

How to Cure Every Candida Die Off Symptom
By Jaime Saunders

Suffering from one candida die off symptom to the next is a problem that many of my friends couldn’t relate to. Granted, yeast infections are common, but I was getting recurring vaginal yeast infections every three or four weeks. I got advice from every friend that sounded very recycled and it was nothing I hadn’t heard before.

“Don’t wear a wet bathing suit for too long.”

“Shower right after the gym.”

“Avoid complex carbohydrates and sugars.”

“Don’t wear underwear to sleep and wear cotton underwear during the day”

The list of advice goes on and on but I needed some guidelines that would really kill every candida die off symptom and permanently. Now, years later, I’ve found the REAL natural remedy tips that I wish I had known since the start of my constant symptom problem. I’m about to share them with you right now.

Each Candida die off symptom are is painfully frustrating and it can seem like there’s no end in site. Let’s take a quick look at what’s really happening to your body.

Whether you’re male or female, you can suffer from candida and your symptom can be similar no matter what sex you are.

Knowing what a Candida die off symptom is…

  • Dryness and Itchiness of the surrounding skin (penile yeast infections can show cracked skin)
  • Whitish discharge from vaginal or penile yeast infections
  • Digestive troubles (this is due to the fact that candida lives mostly in your bodies digestive tract)
  • Fatigue
  • Flu type symptoms
  • Brain fog
  • Headache
  • Constipation
  • Bloating
  • Food cravings for sugars and carbohydrates (these are the components that feed the bacterial infection

Each candida die off symptom above does have a logical explanation. When Candida cells die off they release toxins. These toxins actually move into your bloodstream from your bowels. This can strain your liver because the dead cells are processed in much the same way alcohol is processed in the body. You may notice that each symptom listed above has similarities to the symptoms of a hangover. Now you know why.

Curing Each Candida die off symptom

  • Peppermint Oil – helps indigestion
  • Milk Thistle – an excellent supplement for your liver
  • Fiber – will help expedite the rate that the toxins leave your body
  • Drink plenty of water to remove the toxins faster.

Candida die off effect & Candida infection(candidiasis)

November 4th, 2009



Hey there,

if you are reading this now, I suppose you are looking for some answers to the common candida (yeast infection) and candida die off related questions..

What causes yeast infections?

What are the yeast infection symptoms?

What is the best yeast infection treatment?

Is there difference between vaginal and oral yeast infection?

How to cure skin yeast infection?

What is the best candida diet?

Are there any natural anti candida treatments?

How to treat a trush infection ?

What about male yeast infections?

How to treat candida rash ?

After all… how to kill candida?

Answers to that many other candida related questions can be found in the brand new e-book “Yeast infection no more”.

To find out more about the book CLICK HERE.

We all know that candida attacks the immune system first. Things like stress and bad eating habits tend to bring it on faster. When the immune system is weak, it is more vulnerable to Candida.

Candida puts a lot of stress on the body. The body then becomes susceptible to other health issues. It is an exasperating cycle that never ends if you don’t get treated.

Your body then becomes toxic because it is not receiving the right nutrients for optimal health. Carbohydrate fermentation in the intestine is caused by Candida albicans. The fermentation produces ethanol in the body, which eventually gets into the bloodstream.

Once you start with an antifungal medical treatment and candida starts to die off, you can experience even worse symptoms then the infection itself.

Candida die off, also called “Herxheimer response”, occurs when you take an antifungal cure and the yeast is killed off too quickly and overwhelms the body with toxins.

Candida die off symptoms are different for every person, there are some who won’t experience any problems and others who may only feel slight discomfort. But, there are also those who experience more severe symptoms of the candida die off effect.  Candida die off will diminish over time, but the length of it’s duration is dependent on how strong the medication is that you’re taking, how the antifungal kills it, how capable your body is for detox and how much Candida overgrowth you have. It may last a few hours or it may last a few weeks.

But what if this unpleasant and painful affair could be completely avoided?

Recently, I came across this incredible holistic yeast infection cure program written by a nutritionist and a health consultant. Her name is Linda Allen.

Linda has the incredible ability to cut through all the BS and hype that surrounds curing candida.

She will teach you how to cure your yeast infection and end your candida related symptoms from her own experience. She managed to cure her severe candida condition and coached many others in curing yeast infection..

Sorry, but experience wins out in my book. I will always want to learn from the person who’s actually done what I’m trying to do.

If you’re trying to cure your candida or battling with any type of yeast infection, you MUST check this out –

I don’t endorse many products. Mainly because they are mostly hype and don’t live up to expectation.

Linda’s new book called “Yeast Infection No More”, is an exception! This material is excellent and a MUST READ for anyone trying to cure candida and dramatically improve their health and well-being.

Common yeast infection symptoms vs. candida die off symptoms

October 31st, 2009

Here are some of the most common signs of Candida infection:

Itchiness,  dryness,  creamy or whitish discharge from the vagina or penile region (in case of a male candida infection), problems with digestion, fatigue, headache,  feeling of bloating, constipation,  an abnormal craving for carbohydrate and sugar, painful sex or sexual dysfunction , vaginal odor and itching, premature aging, leaky gut syndrome , vaginal discharge, arthritis, painful urination or other urinary disorders, depression or mood swings , chronic rashes , tiredness or fatigue, irritability , joint pain or swelling ,PMS, feeling run down , digestive pain , muscle aches , short attention span, hand pain , hip and knee pain , headaches or constant migraines, acne, respiratory infections, impotence,  gas …

And there are many others…

It is well known that Candida can cause severe problems, but many don’t know that Candida die off is also  a pretty  painful and unpleasant condition.

When the Candida yeast is treated with some medications it starts to die off and this process is known as Candida die off.  As the Candida is killed, it releases substances which are toxic to the body.

If this process occurs more quickly than the toxins can be cleared from the bloodstream and eliminated by the body, a temporary toxic or allergic-type reaction can occur.

The Candida die off symptoms are almost the same as signs of Candida infection.

Here are some common signs of candida die off effect:

Dizziness, headache, “foggy” head, eye floaters, depression, anxiety, heightened anger reactions,  flatulence, diarrhea, joint pain, constipation, exhaustion, need for more sleep, muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, gas & bloating, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea, skin breakouts… or other symptoms.

Usually die off lasts only a few hours, though it can last several days. It can usually be controlled almost entirely by reducing the dosage or the frequency of the treatment taken.

But what’s the point in treating Candida infections if you have to reduce or stop the treatment due to Candida die off symptoms?



Candida die off – a condition that is often not recognized

October 31st, 2009

As a medical researcher and former yeast sufferer I ‘ve experienced the candida die off effect many times. Most of the times I didn’t even realize what was happening to me. I have just started to take some pills and creams to cure my chronic vaginal yeast infection and suddenly I wasn’t feeling that well. Who could imagine that I was experiencing the candida die off effect?
