PROBIOTICS and other treatments for yeast infection
Why treatments for yeast infection are important for autistic children?
As well as for ‘normal’ adults?
In fact, yeast overgrowth is a common problem affecting large numbers of 'normal' people in modern society as well. The common symptoms of yeast infection, or candida albicans overgrowth, might include:
- chronic fatigue
- low immunity
- food sensitivity, poor digestion, intestinal gas and other digestion-related problems
- groin itch, anal / vaginal / scrotum itch.
This problem is made worse by the fact that yeast is extremely difficult to destroy. Conventional medical treatments for yeast infection typically involve the use of powerful drugs that produce strong side effects, and yet these treatments are often not very effective.
Natural treatments for yeast infection
On the other hand, more natural approaches to treatments for yeast have proven to be effective. And instead of causing harmful side effects, these natural candida cures bring about other health benefits, including greater immunity to infectious diseases, improved digestion, higher energy levels, and so on.
Among the effective natural treatments for yeast infection is the use of probiotics, or what is commonly called friendly bacteria or beneficial bacteria. The strategy behind this natural candida cure is a simple one – flood the intestines with friendly, beneficial bacteria so that there won't be room for yeast and harmful bacteria to thrive.
There are many brands of probiotics on sale at food supplement stores. These typically contain between 2 billion and 5 billion. To the lay person, it may seem like a lot of friendly bacteria. But the amount is actually far too little to create any significant impact.
The colon or large intestine of a typical adult has an estimated 100 trillion bacteria. That is 1014 or 100,000,000,000,000 (one followed by 14 zeroes), or 100,000 billion!
So if you just take one or two capsules that each contains a few billion probiotics, it is not going to produce much results. Moreover, the friendly bacteia may no longer be active. Most brands guarantee the bacteria to be active only at the time of manufacture, not at the time you take them..
For effective treatments of yeast infection and other intestinal problems, our clinic offers a range of custom-made ultra high potency probiotics called Doctor's Formula.
This is custom-made for our clinic by a US company that specialises in the production of high potency probiotics as treatments for yeast infection.
It comes in a powder form and each gram of powder contains at least 250 billion friendly bacteria, guaranteed active at the time of expiry - about one year from the date of manufacture.
Plus, there is a special formulation for children with autism.
Depending on the condition of the patient, the recommended dosage is usually just 1 to 4 very tiny scoops (0.1 to 0.4 grams, or 25 billion to 100 billion probiotics) once or twice a day.This may be taken dissolved in cold or room temperatre water. It has a very light and pleasant malt taste.
There is no harm in taking more as probiotics have no toxic effects. Any extra that the body does not need will simply be passed out in the stools.
We've had excellent results using Doctor's Formula probiotics as part of the treatments for yeast infection, both for children with autism as well as for adults who suffer from a wide range of symptoms that could be due to candida or yeast overgrowth.
Children with autism are tested for the presence of excess yeast as part of the Defeat Autism Now! protocol recommended by the US-based Autism Research Institute (ARI). The ARI has records of more than 1000 cases of recovery as reported by families after following the ARI protocol. These kids had been diagnosed with autism, but now behave as normal kids.
Apart from autistic individuals, others can benefit too from using high-potency probiotics from Doctor's Formula.
This writer (Richard Seah, webmaster for this website) has personally experienced the benefits. For some months, I had been having blood in my stools. I suspected that my old problem with hemorrhoids had recurred, but I am not keen to undergo surgery again.
John Yeo recommended the Doctor's Fomula Probiotics, explaining that the blood was probably due to inflammation and sores in the intestines caused by infection. Almost immediately after taking the probiotics, the bleeding was reduced. Two weeks later, it stopped completely.
I continued taking the probiotics for another week or two, then decided to stop to see what happens. About two months later, the bleeding returned. I took the probiotics again, and this time the bleeding stopped after about three days.
Probiotics is, of course, just one of many possible treatments for yeast infection and other intestinal problems. Another highly effective and safe candida cure – with no harmful side effects – is caprylic acid, a natural extract from coconut oil.
We will take a closer look at caprylic acid in a later article.
