by Dr. Brian Martin
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is an autoimmune disease, which can begin after a minor illness such as a cold, or an intestinal bug. It also strikes people during periods of high stress; it may develop gradually with no clear illness or other event preceding it. CFS symptoms are painful and peskyheadaches, tender lymph nodes, fatigue, weakness, muscle and joint pain, and the inability to concentrate, may intermittently plague an individual for more than six months. The disease can also be stressful for friends and family as it primarily affects the central nervous system and depresses the immune system of the individual. The disorder may develop as a consequence of the following issues: female hormonal imbalance, repeated administrations of antibiotic drugs in childhood, magnesium and zinc deficiencies, recurrent vaginal yeast infections, and diets high in sugar and alcohol.
Due to the fact that CFS it is often times the disease health care providers clinically diagnose after everything else has been ruled outmany patients become extremely disheartened. Unfortunately, CFS is often misdiagnosed as neurotic or psychosomatic. There are no specific laboratory tests or clinical signs for CFS and diagnosis is primarily determined through symptoms alone.
Over the past ten years, holistic healthcare providers have developed a new outlook on CFS; they believe that there is a Candida-related fungal connection to CFS. While it is unclear whether Candida actually causes the disease, many suffering from the illness have benefited from natural, anti-fungal remedies. Holistic healthcare practitioners aim to balance the body and heal the cause of the illness, so that the symptoms disappear completely. In addition to an accurate prognosis of CFS, holistic healthcare providers recommend the following lifestyle management tools to aid in the treatment of CFS: a sugar-free and nutritious diet, natural anti-fungal remedies, an unpolluted home and work environment, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic care, and emotional support. Nutritional supplements and herbs such as: magnesium, essential fatty acids, zinc, Milk Thistle, Licorice, Dandelion Root and Leaf, Oregon Grape, and St. Johns Wort are often prescribed and may be implemental in the healing process.

Yeast:
Yeast infections are very common during pregnancy, more so than any other time in women’s lives, especially during the second three months of pregnancy. Yeast infections in the first three months of pregnancy may be triggered by hormonal changes occurring during pregnancy. Yeast infection during this time frame may also be caused by disruptions in your blood sugar levels and the pH of your body. Yeast infection may also be related to: using birth control pills, taking antibiotics, or diabetes.
Common foods that aggravate yeast infection include mushrooms, aged cheeses, beer, bakery products, artificial sweeteners and caffeine. Yeast infections arise from Candida overgrowth, an imbalance between the yeast/fungus and bacteria that normally live on and in the body.
Yeast infections quite often develop in moist environments, such as: folds of the skin, finger and toe nails, webs of toes and fingers, genitals. Yeast infection may be triggered by an antibiotic series (particularly tetracycline) prescribed for another illness. Yeast infections may also take hold because of diabetes or a weakened immune system. Also included as contributing factors are increased heat, increased pH and allergic reactions. Yeast infections feed on sugars, carbohydrates, fermented foods and yeast. Yeast infections can be an annoyance, especially if they happen often. This infection is common among users of estrogen-containing birth control pills and pregnant women.
Yeast infection causes can include: topical and internal use of steroids, use of antibiotics, blood sugar issues, such as diabetes, using hormonal contraceptives, HRT, hormonal alterations due to menstrual cycle or pregnancy, douching, frequently wearing tight pants or pantyhose. Yeast grows easily in a damp, warm environment: such as stretchy exercise gear, wet bathing suits, and tight jeans.
Candida overgrowth is occasionally misdiagnosed as a bacterial infection, and treated with antibiotics, initiating the vicious cycle again by allowing the yeast/fungus to overpower the colonies of beneficial bacteria. Research indicates that a compromised or weak immune system can allow this naturally occurring yeast to ‘morph’ into an invasive and aggressive fungus. As a side note, the most common chronic affliction in the US, chronic sinusitis, has been determined by the Mayo Clinic to be most often fungus related.
Candida albicans, the yeast/fungus that precipitates yeast infections normally lives unnoticed in your digestive tract. An acidic environment is ideal. Common factors that favor yeast/fungus activity include hormonal fluxes, elevated blood sugar levels, and reductions in the size of naturally occurring bacterial colonies. It is important to avoid contact with all yeast, mold, and fungus when treating a yeast infection .
Candidiasis presents differently in everybody.
Symptoms and conditions that may be related to and/or present during a bout with a yeast infection: Depression, respiratory problems, digestive disorders, fatigue, hypoglycemia, headaches, hyperactivity, short attention, impotence, irritability, learning difficulties, memory loss, muscle pain, menstrual problems, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), skin rashes, urinary problems and vaginitis.
Treatment:
Yeast infections aren’t considered a STD. Self treatment for a yeast infection is not recommended. You may have another type of infection and self diagnosis may be ill advised, making the condition worse. Diagnosis should be done with the assistance of your Doctor.
Underlying causes merit consideration when treating Candidiasis. When treated as a standalone condition using medication the results may be disappointing and symptoms may recur. Treatment may involve anti fungal medications. Depending on your symptoms these may be creams, suppositories or pills. Some of these may be prescriptions, but over the counter meds and some natural remedies may be in order if approved by your Doctor. Infections that do not respond to the usual medications are becoming more common.
Yeast infections can normally be easily avoided:
Tight-fitting clothing, synthetic fiber fabrics, and leotards should be avoided. Wear cotton underwear and if you wear panty hose use the kind with cotton crotches. Dry thoroughly after swimming or showering after a workout or run.
