Recurring Yeast Infection and How to Get Rid of It For Good

If you get a recurring yeast infection at certain times of the month you are not alone. Many women get them right at the start of ovulation and they last until menstruation, and then go away only to return again at ovulation the next month. Other women get them at other times of their cycle but this is not as common. If this is you, then this treatment plan will solve the problem in the least amount of time, while taking the guesswork out what you should do.

Since yeast becomes hormone dependant in the vagina and feeds on imbalances of hormones or the sugar produced by excess estrogen, you could test your hormone levels to determine what they are or you could just treat yourself for excess estrogen, its your choice. There are many ways to do this but the most accurate test is by saliva testing. This test can be done in the comfort of your own home by mail and I recommend the test below.

A 5 Panel Saliva Hormone Test or a 3 Panel Saliva Hormone Test is the best way to test for hormone imbalances.

This test for recurring yeast infection will help you find out what hormones are to high so you can take supplements that offset these high levels of hormones that feed yeast. There are many different ideas out there about which hormones yeast feeds on. Some say it feeds on progesterone, others estrogen, and others suspect estradiol, the most common form of estrogen.

However, in a scientific study done in 1999 by Paul L. Fidel Jr., Jessica Cutright, and Chad Steele of Louisiana State University, and published in the American Society of Microbiology in 2000. They found that progesterone has no effect on vaginal candida in mice but excess estrogen promoted its growth. They also found that excess estrogen reduced the ability of skin cells to prevent colonization of candida on the vaginal walls.

Estrogen is also responsible for glycogen levels in the vagina and glycogen feeds yeast. It has also been linked to breast cancer and reduced function of the Thymic gland. The Thymic gland helps immune system t-cells that are grown in the bone marrow mature. At a certain stage of t-cell growth in the bone marrow they migrate to the thymic gland to mature. Upon maturity of the t-cells, the thymic gland releases them into the body.

Short of testing you can see if you suffer from these symptoms of estrogen dominance and go from there.

You can take DIM which is short for diindolylmethane. Diindolylmethane is a phytonutrient found in broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussel sprouts. Studies show that Dim works indirectly by changing the way estrogen is metabolized, from the ‘bad’ pathway to the ‘good’ pathway.

DIM boosts levels of good estrogens called 2-hydroxy estrogens and reduces levels of bad estrogens, which are 16-hydroxy and 4-hydroxy estrones. Both forms of bad estrogen are carcinogens, and studies show that women with elevated levels of 16-hydroxy estrone have a high rate of breast cancer.

You can also take I3C Indole-3-Carbinol. , which has been found to alter estrogens damaging effects on the body and the thymus by activating genes that metabolize excess estrogen. This metabolization process lowers high estrogen levels.

It also has the ability to alter the way estrogen is metabolized by the body and can diminish the effects of hormonal contraceptives or estrogen replacement therapy. Researchers have noticed altered lymphocyte reactivity in women participating in these two activities; an observation that indicates altered immune response.

I3C Indole-3-Carbinol also raises immune system function by protecting the thymus from bad estrogen. Healthy immune system function is necessary for the bodies fight against excess yeast and candida.

Men can also take Dim and I3C Indole-3-Carbinol to reduce estrogen levels that rise as a man ages. This especially protects against prostate cancer and unwanted muscular atrophy and weight gain.

If your estrogen or levels are to low and I doubt they are, then you can take Female Rejuvenator to raise and balance all hormone levels.

Low levels of progesterone can be treated with FemGest , which contains USP progesterone. This is also suggested if it was determined by saliva testing that your progesterone - estradiol levels are low. Progesterone does offset and control excess estrogen as well.

While treating yourself for recurring yeast infection, as you get the imbalances of hormones under control, you will be depriving yeast of its main food source in the vaginal environment, mainly glycogen produced from excess estrogen.

You can help support the Thymic Gland by taking Thymic Protein A. Thymic Protein A is a patented biologically intact 500-amino chain protein that fits into the receptor sites on T-4 cells to turn on and program the cells for their disease-fighting functions.

Following several favorable clinical studies involving both animal (Feline AIDS and distemper) and human (chronic fatigue syndrome [CFIDS] and Epstein-Barr [EBV]) subjects, Dr. Beardsley developed a unique oral delivery system for his formulation which avoided the degradation of the thymic protein in the stomach, which was a significant problem with other over-the-counter oral thymic preparations.

The scientific data gathered from these studies resulted in the awarding of a US patent to Dr. Beardsley in 1997 for both the Thymic protein A molecule and its method of production.

In the five-and-a-half years since Thymic Protein A was introduced as an oral nutritional supplement, thousands of individuals have consumed this product. Hundreds ofmedical doctors are using it for a variety of immune-related illnesses with no adverse reactions from this highly purified, extremely safe, low-dose protein molecule. Thymic Protein A is produced at only one site in the world, under the personal control and supervision of Dr. Beardsley. Based on his commitment to maintaining the highest scientific standards, utmost purity is assured. It is completely safe.

I would also watch the sugars and simple grains that feed yeast and candida or follow the candida diet listed here.

There is no point in feeding your recurring yeast infection since it probably came from the intestine originally, thru the anus, and infected your vagina. Anal itching is a good indicator that this is what happened although anal itching can also be pinworms or other parasites. The addition of the diet and the suggestions below will kill any yeast overgrowth in the intestine and vagina, and prevent it from coming back.

If you do have anal itching or have never done a cleanse for parasites, it would be a very good time to do so. I recommend 2 months of the Ultimate Colon Cleanse be taken while you clean yourself of intestinal candida. The fiber in the Ultimate Cleanse removes the dead and dying yeast as you kill it and this helps to control any uncomfortable die-off effects of candida yeast. It also of course kills any and all parasites that you may have. I recommend 2 months so you get all the eggs from any parasites.

You should also take CandidaClear for recurring yeast infection to kill the yeast. CandidaClear has been found in studies to explode the nucleus of the candida yeast cell. It is completely safe and very effective. I would start at 2 capsules a day at first and work up every few days to 6 or where ever positive results are achieved.

You should take Candidate as recommended on the label. Candidate for recurring yeast infection active ingredients are Lapachol and Beta-lapachone, which are also known as naphthaquinones are proven fungi killers. Laboratory tests have demonstrated that both Lapachol and Beta-lapachone have anti-fungal properties as potent as common anti-fungal drugs used to balance yeast levels in the body.

Coconut oil should be used for recurring yeast infection because it explodes the yeast nucleus and causes cell death. I suggest 2 to 4 tbls a day.

You can put the Candidate, CandidaClear, and Coconut Oil in a rotation so your taking one for 4 days then stop and take the next. Or you can take them all everyday, its your choice.

Candida Yeast Manangement is also suggested because it is an enzyme formula designed to eat the cell wall of candida yeast. This not only kills it but also allows the essential oils in Kandidaplex, coconut oil, and Candidate to be a lot more effective than they already are. Sometimes results are felt the very first day when this combination is taken.

I felt better today after taking the products than I have in years!!!! I had more energy than ever! Is that normal to feel that different the first day? I mean I felt awful before I went to bed last night and even when I woke up this morning I still felt icky. Literally an hour after taking the Kandidaplex and Candex I felt different. WOW! I hope that continues!

Thanks~Emily

You should also take CP-1, which is the strongest probiotic for recurring yeast infection I have been able to find that works, after the first month of taking the yeast killers above. CP-1 contains Lactobacillus Acidophilus, L. Rhamnosus, L. Plantarum, B.Longum, and B. Bifidum in a guaranteed dose of 50 billion at expiration, which is 1 year. Freshly manufactured doses have been independantly verified at 68 billion and 62 billion at expiration.

CP-1 is dairy free, hypoallergenic, and does not contain any artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sugar, gluten or FOS.

The dose should be 2 to 4 capsules a day if you are taking the Ultimate Cleanse at bedtime with 2 Candida Yeast Management. If you have decided not to take the Ultimate Cleanse then follow the directions below for CP-1.

Start at 2 capsules a day for 3 or 4 days. Take with clean water, not tap water, at bedtime on an empty stomach. After the 4 days double the dose to 4 a day. After those eight days add two more capsules for a total of 6 capsules a day for 5 days.

At any time in this cycle of increasing the dosage you may experience stomach cramping or slight constipation. This is normal because the probiotics are cleaning you out. It will pass so don't quit before you experience all the health benefits this cure for recurring yeast infection has to offer.

At the end of that 5 days if you are not having two bowel movements a day, or one that leaves you feeling very clean inside, increase the doses by two more capsules.

You keep raising the doses until you do achieve at least 2 bowel movements a day or one that leaves you feeling very clean inside, which usually occurs somewhere between 100 to 500 billion bacteria or 2 to 8 capsules. When this happens you have found your optimal dose for your body. Now stay on this dose until the yeast infections no longer occur.

Once the recurring yeast infections no longer occur and if you choose too. You can drop the dose back down to 2 or 3 capsules a day as maintenance so you never get these infections again. But please, keep the estrogen under control as well.

I should also mention Total Immune Booster as a very good probiotic as well. I have more people on TIB as a away to prevent returning infections than I do CP-1. TIB users out number CP-1 users by 6 to 1, which proves its effectiveness.

Now, I do not know how long this will take to get rid of these recurring yeast infections. You must realize everyone is different with different physiology and has different levels of infection. No two women will have the same levels of unbalanced hormones. You may also have other health problems that can complicate this process. If this is you, contact me for additional suggestions to treat those illnesses.

However, this will get rid of this for good once you correct the underlying problems. I am willing to make an educated guess. I would say two to 6 months after you have been on this protocol before the infections do not return again.

You may want to consider continuing to take the corresponding supplement for the hormones and either CP-1 or TIB for recurring yeast infections as a way to prevent future yeast infections and breast cancer. Because you may not be able to fix the hormone problems permanently. Unless, the underlying cause of the imbalance is to much mercury! See the Mercury link on the left hand menu.
