Thrush - Candida Albicans - Our suggestions
on how to cope !
If you've taken antibiotics to try to
get rid of a bladder infection, there's a good chance that you are now
infected with Candida Albicans - the fungus that causes thrush. To be
more accurate, the candida that lives naturally in your body has grown
out of control, and you are probably getting symptoms as a result. These
often include vaginal pain, itching and swelling, white discharge, white
fungal spots around the vagina, indigestion from candidiasis (leaky gut
syndrome), arthritis-like symptoms, sudden weight loss or gain, tiredness,
and general malaise.
Fighting the symptoms of Candida Albicans
Genital area: if you've got the thrush
symptoms, you'll be aware of them. Sweet Cures used to recommend Aci-Gel®,
a simple and very inexpensive preparation that was available from most
good pharmacists. However, it is no longer made. But it was basically
a 5% preparation of acetic acid (clear vinegar) in a gel suspension. That's
one spoonful of vinegar to 19 of the suspension gel. We are sure you can
figure out a way to make something like that. But get your doctor's clearance
before you put any home-made preparation inside yourself!
Testing for high levels of Candida
in the body
A simple home test will tell you if
you have Candida. Just spit in a glass of clean water. If you have Candida,
thin strands of spit will soon develop, dropping down from your spittle.
If you don't have Candida, that won't happen.
Long term, people are telling us that
when they take Waterfall D-Mannose as a preventative on a regular basis,
they get less and less Candida, from the simple fact that they no longer
have to take antibiotics, and so the Candida does not get the chance to
again flare up out of control. Combined with an anti-candida diet, and
the occasional use of your own preparation of Aci-Gel, with your doctor's
advice, it seems possible that you could be free of Candida symptoms,
more or less permanently.
