Systemic yeast infection affects our entire body and
not localized to any particular organ. A victim can suffer very
serious yet varied illnesses that seems to be due to different
causes. The is because a single variant of candida fungus is known
to produce more than 80 types of mycotoxins and poison that are
harmful to the human body. Add to that the other strains of fungi
out there that can infest your body and you get the idea. These
dangerous mycotoxins can affect different parts of the body in
different individuals, depending on the condition of their immune
system, health and medication history. For example, someone may get
skin rashes, indigestion and bloating problems while another person
may get bad breath and so on. There is usually no easily
identifiable source of systemic yeast infections as it can be
caused by many varied internal and external factors. However, it is
commonly agreed that an unhealthy diet coupled with a hectic
stressful lifestyle together with long term medication can greatly
weaken our body's immunity and increase the risk of systemic
candida infections.
The best defense against systemic yeast infections is actually a
strong immunity system. The fact is that fungi and mold existence
is so common in our daily lives and environment that it is
impossible to avoid contact unless you live in a clean room.
Systemic yeast infections commonly start from the intestinal organs
due to consumption or overgrowth of common medical yeast pathogen
such as candida albicans or candida tropicalis. They can even be
caused by airborne fungal spores. For example, the Aspergillus is a
genus of more than two hundred molds found throughout the world on
the skin of starchy foods such as bread and grains, as well as on
many fruits and vegetables. The Aspergillus fumigatus and
Aspergillus flavus can contaminate foods and produce aflatoxin
which is both toxic and carcinogenic, leading to invasive diseases
such as paranasal sinus infections, fever, cough, allergies, chest
pain or breathlessness. The signs of Aspergillosis diseases tend to
overlap with many other illnesses so mis-diagnosis can be
common.
The candida genus is considered as part of the human flora that
exist normally within our bodies. However, when our body is
weakened, producing insufficient amount of NK and Kupffer cells,
there are high levels of toxins in the intestinal tracts due to a
poor diet or due to the consumption of certain medication such as
tetracycline antibiotics, the human immunity system is unable to
contain the fungal growth development. External onset of yeast
infection can also occur through injuries or cuts on our skin. If
the human immune system cannot contain the fungal infestation, the
body cells are gradually eaten away and inflammation spreads
throughout the human host. This can be seen as poor healing of the
wound, constant pus fluid formation etc. Medication is actually not
as effective as our natural human immunity against defeating
systemic yeast infections and their resulting complications such as
crohn's disease, intestinal irritations, gout, reflux, chronic
lethargy, allergies, hives, eczema, depression and so on.
Many suffers find that trying to treat the related
signs of fungal infections is only a temporary
measure. After a while, these problems usually resurface because
the true problems of a poor immunity and excessive yeast overgrowth
are not being remedied. Long term usage of antibiotics such as
minocen, panmycin, prednisone etc can lead to cause an internal
system imbalance, providing the perfect environment for candida to
grow more than normal. Stress and alcohol weakens your body's
immunity and its ability to control the spread of candida yeast.
Over consumption of carbohydrates such as sugar, grains and starchy
foods etc will facilitate the systemic growth of yeast fungi.
