Why Not Use Pharmaceuticals to Treat a Chronic Yeast Infection?

Curing a yeast infection is more complicated than just taking an antibiotic. Yeasts are more like our own cells than they are like bacteria, so antibiotics that work against bacteria will not cure a chronic yeast infection. Pharmaceuticals that kill yeasts, anti-fungals, also kill our own cells in the process and can cause serious side effects. These drugs include: Fluconazole, Griseofulvin, Terbinafine, Gynazole, Ketoconazole, Miconazole and Nystatin.

Taking these anti-fungal drugs as oral medications can lead to the following common side-effects which include but are not limited to: drowsiness, lack of energy, clumsiness, slow reflexes, fever, high blood pressure, depression, dizziness, lightheadedness, impaired thinking and judgment, tremors, nausea, stomach upset, anemia, blood in urine, damage to the digestive system, chest pain, liver damage, weakened immune system and hypoglycemia.

Over time, yeasts are able to become resistant to the effects of the anti-fungal drugs and continue to grow. For this reason, pharmaceuticals are not a long term yeast infection cure. As long as there are some yeasts that are drug resistant, there will always be yeast to grow. Even during a treatment with that drug.

It helps to understand yeast in order to deal with a candida yeast infection. This is the only way to permanent freedom from yeast infections. For example, probiotics provide naturally occurring helpful bacteria that grow and take up the space that the yeast used to occupy. With the probiotics there is less room for the yeasts to grow into-a competitive housing shortage! There are many other natural methods to help you achieve a yeast free condition.
