Drugs Don’t Get Rid of Yeast

When it comes to getting rid of yeast infections forever prescription drugs do not work. They might work for a day or two at eliminating your symptoms but then you have to buy more drugs to treat the symptoms
Drugs are pushed on us every day. The promise is that we will get better as long as we keep on using them. The trouble is I have never had a yeast infection cured this way.
The problem is that these drugs do not heal you. If anything they cause the candida yeast to multiply in your body. If anything these antibiotics feed this yeast in the long run by creating acidic conditions in your body.
Taking a prescription drug for a yeast infection is just like putting a band aid on a wound for open heart surgery. This treats the symptoms of the problem only.
To get rid of the yeast, you need something that eliminates yeast! Not just the infection caused by the yeast!
There are many comparable medical conditions that are also treated by drugs that hook the patients on them for years on end.
A great example is Xanax. It is used to treat anxiety but it does not treat the underlying cause of the anxiety. Once the thought that triggers the anxiety is removed through a non drug treatment like psychotherapy, which is natural and safe compared to taking brain altering chemicals, the person is usually okay.
Yet another example is insulin. Insulin is not the cure for diabetes. It treats the symptoms of diabetes but not the real cause which is high blood sugar.
The same thing happens with antibiotics. They are simply impossible to cure.
Perhaps you can relate to the fact that I started avoiding sex. Sexual intercourse was frightening. There was itching, burning and I would feel like I had to urinate even if I didn't.
Then I had a fear of disgusting my partner with the smell and appearance of the vaginal discharge. The smell was often fishy and very unpleasant.
There was also the pain, before during and after sexual relations with my husband. I soon began to avoid sex. My partner started to think it was him. It wasn't. It was simply that I was ashamed of how unattractive I felt.
After suffering from yeast infections for a year and half I finally woke up and realized these antibiotics were not working. I had been in the vicious cycle of getting them treated with antibiotics and then I finally got an infection where the symptoms could not be allayed at all!
I was prescribed several rounds of antibiotics and NO type of antibiotic worked when it came to getting rid of the pain. That I just live with. That is why I would do just about anything to avoid getting one of these again.
I have had great success with taking a combination of apple cider vinegar and simply staying away from starchy foods. Eliminating tobacco, white flour products and sugar for a while also helps stay these pesky infections off. Still I realize I might have to make even more lifestyle changes to get rid of the yeast for good.

DHA Improves Intelligence

You can improve your child's chances of scoring well on an intelligence test by supporting their brain with a proper, nutritious diet. In fact there are certain foods that are known for helping enhance mental abilities and development. Cutting down on foods that are unhealthy for the brain can also help enhance mental performance.
If you take the advice in this chapter then you may find that big changes in your family's diet are called for. However it is worth it when you consider that your child's future is at stake. Also keep in time that your entire family might become a bit sharper if you stick to this diet and that if you have any elderly people in your family that they might actually become a bit sharper by sticking to this diet.
Add DHA to your diet!
The main nutrient that promotes intelligence, memory and clarity of thought is called DHA. It is now well established that this nutrient is not only good for mental development but also for your eyesight. It also reduces your chances of having a stroke or developing heart disease which is excellent in terms of the longevity of the health of your child.
Your body does not produce this substance naturally so you have to get it from foods. This means that your body has to convert vegetable based fatty acids like Flax oil into DHA. The body does not do this easily which is why many people are actually short of this nutrient.
DHA is found in the Omega3 fatty acids that we find in fish and fish oils and it is therefore crucial that your child get enough of these acids so that their mental abilities are optimized. The notion that eating lots of fish is an old wives tale is not a myth at all!
Chances are that your children are not getting enough of this nutrient. The average intake of DHA by three year old children in North America was discovered to only be 19 mg a day. This falls way short of the 300 mg a day that was identified as being needed by a targeted scientific group to improve mental acuity. This is also the level needed to support developing fetes.
The American Food and Drug Administration say that the requirement for DHA is not as high. The suggested dose is about 2 grams of fish oil ever day. Many nutritionists and doctors suggest that this amount should be much higher. Many believe that the optimal dose is 5g a day. You can see how only getting about 19 mg day is nowhere near enough to support mental development and how not consuming enough could definitely hurt a child's learning abilities.
Knowing this the obvious conclusion is that the first thing you can do to enhance your child's academic abilities is to simply review their diet and make sure that they are getting enough DHA to eat.
