YEAST INFECTIONS

    Yeast such as Candida albicans are naturally occurring in every human and do not tend to activate the body's immune defenses except in overgrowth situations. They are naturally kept from growing out of control by neighboring friendly bacteria that secrete anti-yeast chemiicals. Broad-spectrum antibiotics given for other conditions innocently destroy these friendly bacteria. When these friendly bacteria leave the body unprotected, yeasts can have a picnic on the nutrient-rich protein found on the skin and sugar-enriched mucous membranes. Once yeast infections get started, they must be dealt with in an aggressive way for best results.

    Yeast infections are a generalized term that includes a variety of challenges including vaginal infection, inflammation, and irritation. Parasites, viruses, fungi, or bacteria can cause infections, inflammation and irritation may be attributable to chemicals in tampons, bubble bath and tissue paper. Sometimes excessive use of harsh soap will cause vaginitis.
    Clothing contributes to yeast infections, particularly in those containing synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon. Synthetic clothing retains moisture and encourages yeast growth. Bacteria can remain in synthetic fibers even after washing.
    While yeast infections are common complaints by women, they are not limited to just females. Jock itch is a form of yeast infection as well. Symptoms include pain, itching, spotting, odor, irritation and discharge. Recurrent or chronic infections will develop in those who are diabetic, and in those taking birth control pills or antibiotics. Symptoms can be alleviated for many; however, the majority will not be cured by traditional treatments prescribed.
    This is contagious; therefore, intimate partners should treat it together and should pay attention to the danger of becoming re-infected .
    *Use Nature's Cleanse according to the directions. Melaleuca alternifolia oil is the only antiseptic capable of eliminating each of the major types of vaginal yeast infections while exhibiting virtually no toxicity to vaginal tissue. Take Florify to help keep yeast and harmful bacteria in the digestive system in check.
    Drink Melaleuca Herbal Tea and take the Vitality Pack with Oligofructose Complex, cellWise, and ProVex or ProVex-Plus with each meal. Avoid sugar, yeast, or mold-processed foods. Apply T36-C5, MelaGel, or Triple Antibiotic Ointment to affected areas other than the vagina.

Wash your clothes in MelaPower Laundry Detergent and add 1-2 capfuls of Sol-U-Mel to each wash load. This will leave clothes as close to adverse organism free as possible.
