More than ever before we live with an environment full of toxic metals and chemicals that are harmful , in our water, the soil we grow our food in and the air we breathe. To get rid of these toxins , our body has to work harder than it ever has but this process creates an unconfortable cycle of health problems that is hard to break ; this may include various symptoms of illness including the overgrowth of Candida Albicans that leads to yeast infections.
The issue is about balance . With the build up of chemicals and toxins in our body causes instability with our hormones, problems of the skin , failure of the immune system , healing slows, nerve and brain damage, inherited alterations and allergies.
Toxic metals like silver, mercury and led in the body make an environment that is anaerobic (oxygen deficient) and acidic. These are the perfect conditions that Candida needs to multiply . When the intestinal track becomes overloaded with toxic metals, extra mucus is made by the intestinal lining to try and protect itself and to stop the metals from being absorbed into the blood stream. However, the mucus itself creates the perfect environment for the Candida to grow out of control .
The worse issue about all of this is that the Candida will then bind to the heavy metals so that while the body tries to protect itself against metal intoxication by making more mucus, the Candida grows even more as more and more of the environment becomes a haven for it.
Deep metal detoxification is the key step to a yeast infection home remedy. One thing you can do to take steps towards this is to make sure any amalgam dental fillings you have are replaced with the safer white fillings. Restoring balance to your body is the only way you can be permanently rid of the infection for good, and cleansing toxic metals from your system is one important part of that.
