The Truth About Antibiotics and Yeast Infections

Antibiotics are one of greatest discoveries of all time, however over use is causing many problems with resistance starting to occur.

To make matters worse, antibiotics do not distinguish between good and bad bacteria, and kill off all the helper bacteria in your body that naturally combats disease and infection. With a lowering immune system, and a more resistant bacteria or yeast, the problem gets worse with time.

This means that we may gain a short term victory, but in the end we are facing a much more serious battle in doing so.

Candida yeast cannot be completely destroyed by antibiotics, and becomes stronger with repeated use. If our body cannot naturally defend its self then the yeast can change into it’s fungal form, and develop hooks that latch into our intestines causing pain and digestive problems.

Once this happens it simply spors into your blood steam and hitches around your body and can end up in any organ where it will start to make a new site of infection, this is why Candida infection can have so many symptoms such as indigestion, migraines and eczema.

With a weakened body trying to fight infection all over the body, the spreading infections can manifest all kinds of illness from cancer to eczema.

In today’s society we cannot and should not completely avoid antibiotics since they are needed to fight serious infection. However you can do your best to help the situation by replacing your helper bacteria straight away, you can use pro-biotics or live cultures to re strengthen your immune system.

Even if have managed to avoid taking antibiotics, you may still exposed to them in the foods that you consume. Most meats are injected with antibiotics to kill of any bacteria and disease. It is not considered dangerous to consume these meats, but the problem lies in that the small amounts of antibiotics slowly contribute to suppressing your immune system.

Going organic is a great choice, to avoid antibiotics in foods, but sooner or later we may need them for health reasons, so stay aware that they are not some magic product we can take for instant relief of any problem.

Sometimes all we need is to understand the problem a little better to avoid antibiotics from causing serious problems down the track.
