Candida Albicans is a genus of fungus that causes what we routinely call yeast infections in sufferers.

It’s typically found on our bodies in minute amounts. It’s most commonly found on our skin, and in our intestinal tracts.

The challenge with it, is that it can flourish in greater amounts than what our bodies can handle.

This condition often occurs when we consume antibiotics or when we our immune systems are weakened.

Because it can grow very rapidly, when we realize that we have a problem it can seem as if it hits us quite rapidly.

If you are one of the many people that experience “run-ins” with Candida, there are some methods to fight it.

The uncomfortable symptoms usually associated with Candida, often times affect the mucous membranes in the body. Infections that occur as a result of “Candida Yeast”, or “Candida Albicans” are usually seen as infections in the respiratory tract, the female genital area, and the urinary tract.

Itching and burning are two of the most common discomforts, though odor is often reported.

If you have already suffered through one of these types of yeast infections, then you probably know that these are often described as the first two “signs” that you have one.

Common pharmacy creams can be used when a topical solution is necessary.

But when internal treatment is required, certain types of anti-fungal medication such as Nystatin could be beneficial.

If you are sure that you have an overgrowth of Candida such as Vaginitis, Athlete’s foot or jock itch, the pharmacy may have some treatment possibilities available. But if you are experiencing Candida Internally, please talk to your doctor.

Often times it is discovered that people suffer “Candida Symptoms” internally without knowing what is causing it.

Consider remaining alert to all symptoms and keep a log to record how often you have them, and how severe they are.

A good suggestion is to monitor any kinds of symptoms and keep a medical diary to note how often you have them, how severe the symptoms are, where the symptoms are occurring, what you think may have triggered the symptoms etc..

If you believe that you are suffering from any type of “Internal Candida Infection”, please consider speaking with your doctor first, and do not rely on “Home Remedy’s”.

Shellfish is not for everyone. It can be taboo for some, allergy causing and deadly for others. Yet there are many who do like sea foods. Sea foods cover all foods from the sea, from fish to shellfish to seaweed. Fish is touted as being healthier than red meats generally, it is more easily digested. Fish can provide high levels of protein. Fish supply more essential fatty acids generally if they swim in cold current waters. Fish deliver polished wooden furniture to our bodies. While plant sources of essential fatty acids deliver unpolished wooden furniture to us. Plant sources of essential fatty acids include sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, their oils, safflower oil, nuts and leafy vegetables. Fish and shellfish provide types of fatty acids that are more easily used by the body and brain. Fish should not have a fishy smell that is usually the odour of rancid essential fatty acids. Fishy fish is not fresh fish. For healthy fats you need healthy fresh fish.

Shellfish is extremely high in minerals. Too much shellfish is unhealthy. Occasionally it can do one a great service by delivering a benevolent dose of minerals. There are many types of shellfish, from crabs to lobsters to oysters.

It is not all white meat and there is the vegetarian seafood of seaweed. We often picture seaweed as a slimy green, brown or reddish algae found floating in the sea waters. It is not purely plant when seaweed contains plantain; which are minor sea-animals. We can purchase seaweed in dried form and eaten (after soaking) or added to flavour soups or used in other ways. There are types of seaweed which are known to be fine to consume, with some types that are more suitable for consumption. Seaweed may be in cosmetic-make-up products and certain carbohydrate sections of it can be incorporated in some processed foods. Fortunately seaweed with its high mineral levels can also be a fertilizer and this is relevant for land plants.

The kelp supplement of iodine is from seaweed. Land plants near sea spray and seafood have iodine. Why do we need iodine? It is needed by our thyroid glands, in our necks, to make thyroid hormones to regulate our metabolism. This maintains our health.

Sea foods can be a threat as there is potential that they can carry excess toxic metals or minerals. There have been reports of tuna fish having high levels of mercury that caused problems. All due to polluted sea waters where those fish were caught! Other times there have been high levels of arsenic, another poisonous substance, shown in shell fish. Generally this is not a problem unless we eat shell fish excessively. The greater levels of minerals in sea foods are due to absorption of surrounding minerals in the sea. Do realise that the sea is not a waste site and should not be used as one, as pollution of the sea with noxious substances does go into sea foods. Occasionally eaten, sea foods are healthy while there are international government measures to support safety in quality and quantity of sea foods.
