| Common Infections Caused By Candida |
There are so many infections that are caused by Candida, especially the species Candida Albicans, in various parts of the body.
Moniliasis or Oral Thrush
This type of oral infection usually occurs when there is an overproduction of Candida Albicans. It is also common among denture wearers and occurs to both very young and elderly who are recovering from disease or have an immune system problem. Likewise, people who are experiencing dry mouth syndrome are also prone to having Candidiasis.
Candida may be triggered by antibiotic treatment, which decreases normal bacteria in the mouth. Good oral hygiene is encouraged to prevent Candidiasis. Dentures should also be removed especially before going to bed. There are saliva substitutes as well as prescribed medications that may be used to treat some severe case of oral thrush.
Intertrigo
This is an infection that occurs in the folds of skin, most commonly seen on overweight individuals. Redness and moisture in the skin fold are also observed. Small pustules appear around raised areas of inflamed skin and are usually filled with pus or papules around the main area of redness. Likewise, peeling, itching and swelling are also experienced.
Vulvovaginitis
This is one of the most common Candida infections, found mostly in women. The symptoms include swelling and itching of the vagina along with a thick, cream or white discharge. There is also pain during intercourse. There is an observed redness with rashes that oftentimes extends to the groin area. Vulvovaginitis is dominant among pregnant women and recurs frequently in women who are using birth control pills.
Men can also suffer from vulvovaginitis and this is indicated by inflammation that can be seen on the head of the penis. There can be swelling, and also small red papules or pustules, and often a burning sensation after sexual activity.
Diaper Candidiasis
This is the type of infection that is commonly seen in babies due to diaper rashes. However it should not be assumed that all diaper rashes are due to Candida. There are signs and symptoms such as small fragile pustules that are often dry and usually peel. In addition, this infection is accompanied by firm reddish nodules of 1 to 2cm on the vulva or the buttocks. There is also nodular granulomatous Candida or granulomatous gluteale infantum. This infection usually clears over time.
Paronychia
This is an example of a Candida infection that occurs on the nails. People who contract these types of infections generally have their hands in water or handle food on a regular basis as food encourages the growth of yeast on hands. The areas around the nails are usually swollen without the cuticles. There is also postural discharge that results to nail discoloration and often times caused the removal of the nail base. This is also called lateral onycholysis.
Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis
This is an example of a recurrent Candida infection that does not respond to medical treatments. This is the type of infection is visible in the mouth and on the skin. It can be observed on infants and children. It is identified by persistent oral rashes that may be hypertrophic and produce thick plaque in the mouth.
Chronic paronychia is manifested by redness around the nail folds. This infection is usually a genetic condition that is either recessive or dominant. It also may cause endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism or hypoparathyroidism.
If you suspect you are suffering with Candida, you should consult your primary care physician. |

| Dry, Cracked Heels - How To Handle! |
I recently moved to Florida and off came the shoes and on went an old pair of sandals. I love the outdoors, - walking on the beach – but within a couple of weeks the skin on the back of my heels started to split. It was painful!
There were two things here - One, I had to quickly do something about the open split and figure out how it was happening. Well, three things, I had to get it to heal up as well. And make sure it did not happen again – I guess that’s four.
So, the first thing I did was to put some lotion on my foot. The lotion I used has honey and aloe vera amongst other things. It is called Thentix “A Touch of Honey”. The anti bacterial properties of these two ingredients and some others helped to prevent infection. The next thing I had to do was somehow close and protect the fissure or split. This is not easy on feet. Band-aids don’t work. They won’t stick to the skin on the heel. I’ve done some research on different kinds of glues and from this I know there are medical superglues that are used for suturing. There are certain types of cyanoacrylate* (*the technical term for super glue type glues) that are used for this. Well, I didn’t have one of those and had no idea where to get one but I did have some Miracle Glue which has similar properties. Now it is pretty runny so be careful not to try and put this on your foot when sitting on the sofa or over a carpet or kitchen floor. If you spill it, don’t expect to get it off. So, once the lotion has dried, apply some of the glue to the split an allow it to dry. Open to the air like this it will take a little while. I would not advise trying to wipe off any excess with your finger unless you don’t mind hobbling around for a few hours with your finger attached to your foot. Once it is dry you may want to wear shoes and socks for a day or so. Then each night before I go to bed I put some of the Thentix on my whole heel to keep it moist, supple and allow healing.
Putting the lotion on each day like this helps soften the skin as there was quite a callus built up on the back of my heel and the pressure pushing on the back of my heel with lousy sandals was helping the skin to crack. You could also use a pumice stone or something similar to rub off some of the skin. Take it easy on this or you are going to create more problems.
The causes of cracks or fissures in the feet can be caused from: anything that is putting undue pressure on the heel – standing too long – particularly in ill fitting shoes or sandals; obesity; as well as some diet problems and other general skin conditions.
Is it an Ongoing Problem?
On top of the obvious immediate handlings I would advise seeing a nutritionist or doctor if this is an ongoing problem. A podiatrist or chiropractor may need to be consulted as well to see if posture or other foot problems are the cause. Eczema or psoriasis can also be contributing factors. Using the Thentix – A Touch of Honey and the Miracle Glue will help the symptoms in this case but one should definitely see a doctor or nutritionist to search out and handle the cause. The problem could be something as simple as a vitamin or mineral deficiency.
The same sort of problem can happen with hands – particularly the ends of the fingers. Often people working with chemicals or drying agents like mortar will have problems. Have a look at bricklayers’ hands sometime. The ends of his fingers often have cracks in the skin that are very slow to heal. I would suggest the same thing: make sure that the cracks are clean and dry and apply some of the lotion. When that is dry glue run a bead of glue along the fissure. I would not use just any type of glue for this – if you can find one that’s approved for skin all the better. And use honey lotion as the healing properties of honey can be quite dramatic.
Doing the above, I have been back to wearing sandals with no other ill effects. |

| Cancer |
Cancer is the generic name for more than 100 specific diseases, all of which are distinguished by the rampant or uncontrolled growth of abnormal body cells. The condition has been known since antiquity. In the contemporary developed world, it is a major cause of death, killing an estimated 33% of the population. Deaths largely occur in the 55-75 age group, but cancer also affects younger people and children.
The organs or body parts vulnerable to cancer are the brain, mouth, larynx, throat, oesophagus, lungs, breasts, stomach, pancreas, liver, bladder, spleen, prostrate, womb, ovaries, testicles, colon, rectum, skin and blood. In other words, virtually every internal organ!
Simply speaking, the mechanism involved in the inception of cancer is that the cell’s natural regulatory mechanism has gone awry at a microscopic level, allowing a rampant growth of non-regulated cells, which develop into a tumour. As the tumour outgrows the original organ, pieces of malignant tissue often separate and enter the bloodstream, or lymph system. The cancer cells often proliferate, becoming attached to other organs and create new tumours. Accordingly, from an initial cancer of the pancreas, the spread of malignant cells may progressively reach the lungs, kidneys, stomach, breast, colon or even the brain causing new tumours in their wake. Because of this phenomenon, cancer specialists concentrate on containing malignant tumours at source.
Mainstream scientists now believe that the causes of cancer are either genetic or environmental. The causative agents fall into 3 groups: chemicals, viruses and radiation. But the big 3 are generally considered to be smoking, alcohol and obesity, if we are to believe the mass media and conventional medical literature. However, they conveniently gloss over the inordinately deleterious effects of 30 years of testing nuclear weapons and the plutonium still being released into the environment from nuclear power stations. In addition, vested medical interests, especially those of the pharmaceutical monopolies, are responsible for suppressing research data on the deleterious effects of Western medicines and its suspected carcinogenic contribution.
Practitioners of Feng Shui are convinced that the condition known as geopathic stress or “bad land” is a major cause of illness and cancer. Apparently, the effect of certain mineral deposits, low level electro-magnetic fields, natural radiation and the presence of subterranean water or “black streams” under dwellings is considered to be carcinogenic.
However, the pathological lifestyle lived by most people, the mass consumption of “junk foods” and avoidance of natural, wholesome foods, especially fruit, the ingestion of harmful additives in foodstuffs and the high level of stress and anxiety common in the world today must bear a considerable part of the blame. Scientific research is still in its infancy as regards the carcinogenic effects of the ozone depletion and the consequent increase in solar and galactic radiation.
Significant improvements in cancer treatment have been made since the middle of the 20th century, through a combination of timely and accurate diagnosis, selective surgery, radiation therapy and chemo-therapeutic drugs. However, one cannot but help think more research into natural therapies as cancer antidotes would ultimately be more beneficial. |

| Noni Juice |
Scientific research has categorically proven that nutritional deficiencies and chemical imbalances in the body are a fundamental contributor to ill-health. Whereas, vitamins almost certainly help prevent chronic illnesses. Vitamins C and E and beta-carotene, for example, work as antioxidants, preventing the formation of free radicals (unstable chemicals in the body which damage tissues and contribute to disease), thus radically reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Numerous studies indicate that those with fruit and vegetable-rich diets—the major sources of many antioxidant nutrients—have a lower risk of heart disease. The gradual awareness of these benefits has provoked a mass consumption of vitamin supplements, especially in the USA where, in 1995, sales of vitamins and minerals alone reached $4.1 billion. However, most were consumed in mega-doses and in artificial capsule and powder form, which can be harmful. Nutritionists agree far more benefit is derived from taking them in their natural vegetable and fruit form.
One such fruit, currently little known, but soon to win worldwide acclaim, is the noni fruit. Grown organically in the volcanic Cook Islands of the South Pacific and marketed notably in the form of juice by Noni Juice New Zealand, it is a natural multi-vitamin. It contains more than 125 fundamental nutrients, including all 9 essential amino acids, 9 major vitamins, 6 essential minerals and 7 essential trace elements.
Noni appears to be truly miraculous. Justifiably claiming to be a panacea (cure all), it has been extensively used in Africa, the Far East and South Pacific for millennia, notably India, China, Nigeria, Burma, Thailand, the Philippines and Polynesia.
Noni has been used to treat malaria, fever, jaundice, yellow fever and dysentery. It lowers high blood pressure, kills pain, reduces arthritis symptoms, enhances cellular health, inhibits the pre-cancer function and growth of cancerous tumours. It strengthens the immune system and has been used in contra-AIDS experiments. It increases body energy, has anti-inflammatory and anti-histaminic action. Its antibacterial properties ameliorate digestive and heart damage. It helps eliminate stomach ulcers, PMS, menstrual cramps, chronic fatigue syndrome, skin disorders, senility, indigestion, asthma, depression, diabetes, enlarged prostate, and strokes.
A study in the September 15th, 1993, Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggested that a combination supplement of beta-carotene, vitamin E and selenium (all noni ingredients) reduced the stomach cancer mortality rate by 21% among subjects in Linxian, China.
One of the best sources of the benefits of the noni, is, as previously stated, Noni Juice, organically produced by the Noni Juice Company, New Zealand. This company’s declared mission is to make its health-promoting product ubiquitous. It offers cost effectiveness, the commitment to excellence in terms of hygiene, quality control and presentation, free worldwide delivery and refunds, if dissatisfied. The company is even prepared to put every order into a monthly draw to win back your full purchase price. In its commitment to promoting health, Noni Juice, New Zealand further offers a health forum and extensive health directory with 60,000 links on its website. |
