Steroids And Antibiotics Link
To A Candida Yeast Infection

Why do antibiotics cause Candida Albicans (Candidiasis)?

Antibiotics are prescribed to kill the bad bacteria in your system that is causing your illness or infection, but they not only kill the bad bacteria they also kill the good bacteria. This leaves your immune system venerable and left with no defense against fighting off diseases, viruses or infections.

Antibiotics are one of the highest ranking causes of chronic Candida yeast infections.

Candida Albicans is an opportunists, meaning it will lie in wait for your system to be compromised before it will attack. And then, the domino effect sets in, and seemingly unrelated health problems begin!

How Do Steroids Help Cause
A Candida Yeast Infection?

Corticosteroids, steroids for short, are also immuno-suppressives. Steroids are very similar to antibiotics in the respect they leave your immune system vulnerable. Long-term steroid use can suppress your immune system increasing your risk of infection.

Remember, Candida yeast is an opportunist!

Candida Overgrowth Environmental Factors

How does a raw diet encourage a yeast overgrowth infection?

• If you consume a raw diet, you are more susceptible to a yeast overgrowth infection than a person on a normal healthy diet that includes protein in their meal and stays away from processed and packaged food. A raw diet consists of natural carbohydrates from fruit, wheat, starch and many vegetables.

• The foods in a raw diet break down into sugar or contain sugars that are the natural food source for intestinal yeasts. These sugars ate Candida's food supply allowing the yeast to grow and begin wreaking havoc on your system.

• And, If you are among the many who consume far too much carbohydrates, you are very susceptible to a Candida yeast infection. This includes any processed food, prepackaged food and fast food. All of these foods are unnatural and should be avoided.
  

How do antibiotics get into water, meat and dairy products?

• About 80% of antibiotics produced in the U.S. are given to farm animals, our meat and dairy supply. Nearly two trillion tons of animal waste is produced every year and this waste is loaded with undigested antibiotics that seep in and contaminate our ground and surface waters.

• People urinate up to 90% of some drugs and flush old prescriptions down the toilet. There are 126 different antibiotics and anti-infective drugs identified in our water supplies; processed waste water, natural surface water, groundwater, and our drinking water and, this may be helping to contribute to the Candida infection epidemic.

So you see, how easy it is to ingest antibiotics, steroids and other medications with out intending to and this opens the door for a Candida yeast infection.

Are women more susceptible to Candida Yeast Infections?

•  Yes! Women are more susceptible than men simply because they have used some form of birth control whether it be pills, patches or the copper IUD’s.

• Women also have a slower oxidation rate than men do. The metabolizing of carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy is referred to as oxidation. This slower oxidation rate is associated with adrenal and thyroid weakness, copper toxicity, impaired immune response and general fatigue; leaving your immune system compromised and susceptible to vaginal yeast infections among other yeast related infections.

Men are not out of the woods though, when it comes to genital infections,they are susceptible to penis rashes and infections, jock itch, including oozing puss.
