Yeast infections. First, let’s begin with the women. Over 30 million women a year are diagnosed with them. That’s 75% of all adult women who will have had at least 1 vaginal yeast infection according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Of the 75%, 40-45% develop 2 or more infections in their lifetime. And when we’re talking vaginal yeast infections, we’re not talking about just one kind. Vaginal yeast infections are many.
A common characteristic of Candidiasis or Vaginal Candida is a smell of beer or bread, at times fishy,and a vaginal discharge with redness and itching all around the genitalia.
Leukorrhea- a yeasty infection when normal vaginal acidity is disrupted. Leukorrhea symptoms are of inflamed, itchy vaginal tissues, a yeasty foul discharge, and sex is painful.

Trichomonas- a parasite passed on during intercourse. With Trichomonas the discharge is foamy, severely itchy, yellow and has a foul odor. Vulvitis- an allergic reaction, fungal or bacterial infection that brings on a vulva inflammation. Vulvitis shows signs of swelling, itching, and redness with fluid-filled blisters.
Bacterial Vaginosis- grows and thrives when vaginal pH is disturbed and thrown out of balance. A woman must be careful if she has anal sex. If fecal matter enters the vaginal tract this bacteria can bring upon Bacterial Vaginosis and develop moderate itchiness and have a foul, fishy odor with white discharge.
It may be surprising to many, but men get yeast infections; 13-16% of men. If he has exposed himself and had unprotected intercourse with an infected partner he can develop a Candida Penis Infection.
This infects the tip of the penis. It’s like a ping-pong effect. When one gets treated, the other reinfects that partner and it keeps bouncing back and forth between them. This infection can cause prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate), frequent urination, an inability to urinate, a dribble effect when urinating, and even a loss of sexual interest. Men who are most at risk are those with Diabetes.
So what are the causes of yeast infections? Using antibiotics for long periods of time, or prolonged exposure to antibiotics that weaken the immune system and cause imbalanced hormones. Spermicidal cream Nonoxynol 9 which aggravates Candida infections and kills the good friendly bacteria that protects the vagina and maintain good balanced pH. Candida is also caused by birth control pills and steroid drugs. Eating TOO MUCH bread, a high sugar, refined carbohydrate rich diet, and a lifestyle very short on rest.
Use the following combination of herbal solutions to 
treat yeast:
PARA CLEANSE (this must be used if dealing with Trichomonas)
SILVER SHIELD GEL (apply to affected skin area).
Use these supplements for 4-6 weeks.
Eliminate the following foods for 4-6 weeks: Sugar and commercial sweeteners (except Xylitol or Stevia), trashed baked goods or gluten bread, dairy products (except for plain organic yogurt or kefir) fried foods, pickled, smoked, dried or cured meats, potatoes (all white, red, sweet) nuts, nut butters, mushrooms, fruits and fruit juices (except grapefruits, lemons, limes, frozen berries) dried or candied fruits, black tea, coffee, carbonated beverages, alcohol, vinegar, ND foods with vinegar. Avoid smoking tobacco, steroid drugs, antibiotics, and birth control pills.
DO EAT: steamed veggies (broccoli, onions, etc.) organic meats like poultry, seafood (well-cooked, not raw) olive oil.
When you use the recommended natural therapy program in 1-2 weeks you will feel the body begin to balance itself; foul odors are reduced or eliminated, vaginal discharge is diminished, irritations are reduced or eliminated, etc.
Be weary of eating the wrong foods again too quickly. It will most likely be best to keep them at a reduced amount or eliminate them completely from your diet. Your body will let you know what does not agree with you…
