Most folks just think that a yeast infection is a nasty little infection that will only last for a week maybe two, and it'll go away as soon as you use an anti-fungal treatment.
But...
they're wrong.
In fact curing a yeast infection for good is a lot harder than you'd think.
Read on to find just how dangerous a yeast infection can be, and the health problems it can cause...
Yeast Infections: The common misconception...
When a thrush infection first strikes, most folks take little notice, and often ignore it hoping that it'll go away.
The trouble is...
it won't.
In fact ignoring a yeast infection is one of the worst things you can do.
Doing nothing will allow the cells to keep growing and spreading, until they've taken over the body, and the immune systems can no longer fight off the cells.
Your yeast overgrowth symptoms will gradually worsen, and your infection will become extremely difficult to cure.
It's at this stage when your health can take a nasty turn for the worst, and you could end up with a number of conditions, all of which were caused by a simple yeast overgrowth.
The vicious cycle...
Once those yeast cells have taken hold of your body and started to overgrow, you'll find that your immune system will gradually get weaker and weaker as time goes by.
You'll soon start to notice that you pick up every bug that comes around, and you'll have a real hard time getting rid of even the mildest of colds.
You may even notice that you're suddenly allergic to a variety of foods, you could also experience unexplained weight gain, and a slowing down of the digestive system.
Again, all of these are the result of a candida infection, and they're just the very tip of the iceberg.
More and more and more yeast symptoms...
When you first realised that your had a yeast overgrowth, you may only have noticed a handful of symptoms.
But, the longer you have your infection, and the longer you go without the proper treatment, you'll gradually start to notice more and more yeast infection symptoms.
Most folks have no idea that these new symptoms such as headaches, joint and muscle pain, food intolerances, and depression to name but a few, are all caused by a simple yeast infection.
The problem is, once the yeast cells have significantly weakened the immune system, and have been able to mutate, they're are then free to travel all over the body.
They'll eventually work their way into your bloodstream...
and that's where the real trouble starts.
The yeast cells are then free to reek havoc with your digestive system, they can spread to your organs, and eventually to your brain.
At it's worst a yeast infection can be crippling for the sufferer and the number of symptoms continue to increase.
At this chronic stage, the body is at the mercy of the yeast cells, and is simply powerless, and has no hope of fighting against the infection.
