 ASK LENA HEALTH Q & A EDITION!
====================================
In a rampant world of candida/yeast running wild I thought today I would publish just one of the questions I've received over the last few months regarding this very problem and explaining why it is so rampant in today's society! 

The answers to questions submitted to me each week come from my 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along with many years and ongoing education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes. Add that to many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by the traditional medical world, has helped along the alternatives path and hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... Also receiving a lot of study reports and try to ascertain if they are good or bad then report them to you, which has increased my knowledge along the way and I pass them on to you to use or not...

I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of me as one!! My years observing life and health of the many people/patients around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating - prescription domino effect - while watching those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more health problems than they help. Those same medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness, which led me to look for something to change that premise for myself and those around me. In looking outside the Westernized medical profession I found and continue to find alternatives that really work to create health and longevity - when adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical world can do...

Not to be used in place of your judgment but in  addition to... Even though I daily watch people become healthy with the information imparted here nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of people...

I have always felt that I had to know all sides to a problem and then make a decision for myself and I hope that will be your attitude as well!

QUESTION:
Good morning Mrs. Sanchez
How are you
I was wondering if you know of any natural remedy for Yeast Infection.
If you have any information to share I would appreciate that. I am still breastfeeding, need to start weaning my son who is now 20 months old.
Thank you for your time in advance
Warmest regards, Jana

ANSWER:

Most definitely, thank you for asking!

You did not explain how you are exhibiting yeast symptoms, as my custom when missing details, will look at it from all angles and hopefully hit yours...

When I look at the common definitions of yeast aka candida ablicans I laugh as it appears there are so many definitions which leads me to believe they have no real idea what it is and when treated according to their definition only propagates it more... Some say it is a parasite and by definition that would be a more accurate description yet still off the track of reality as we know parasites...

First I will explain my understanding and experience with yeast/candida and how it actually happens;

Yeast infection - of the human body - is really a misnomer as candida/yeast is a natural and necessary flora in the body that can grow out of bounds when the rest of the other natural floras die off from malnourishment and/or suffocation rather than a bacteria or virus that normally creates an infection that the body's white cells - immune system - fights. Thereby yeast lives off the body' and that is how it could be thought of as a parasite. What is known and recognized by all is that usually people who do not eat sufficient raw fruits and vegetables daily, eat a lot of white flour products - pasta, white breads, etc -, fast foods, prepackaged processed foods, sugar-free food/drinks and/or heavy meat and dairy foods are at risk. Any or all of those things will keep the body's natural ecosystem out of sync allowing yeast/candida propagating and then it spreads into the blood stream and other parts of the body causing a lot of different symptoms. Or if you are good with your diet but take prescription drugs (blood pressure, cholesterol medications, birth control pills, antibiotics, etc.), or NSAIDs (aspirin, advil, nuprin, ibuprofen, etc.), and/or heavy metals toxicity such as mercury from amalgam filling in the teeth. As all of these are your body's ecosystem killers setting up the atmosphere for yeast/candida overgrowth as candida then has the basis to grow fast and furious making it difficult to overcome lacking the other natural flora to keep it in balance. Yeast/candida is necessary for the body to function properly but when it overgrows all kinds of health problems happen.

Some people will tell you that you need to take all kinds of anti-fungal substances for months and some say years and then periodically to keep it down, BUT there is a simple way of keeping yeast/candida at the necessary levels as well as get rid of the excess. And the method isn't taught by the conventional medical profession since the pharmaceutical industry runs medical schools, training the doctors of the world, but doesn't know how to clear and keep yeast/candida away. I don't know if that is from lack of knowledge or financial? Of course it isn't conducive for their pocketbooks to know that... Yes, their drugs kill it for a short while but it comes right back with their treatments because they fail to get to the bottom of the cause with their caustic chemical drugs. Once yeast has overgrown it can be difficult to rid the body of it but we've found the answer to stopping that vicious cycle...

Below is what works in both getting rid of excess yeast/candida and keeping it away;

Even breast feeding and/or lactating you can do this with no damage to you or the child...
1st. Killing the rampant candida; Ionic Silver Water - by mouth - 3 Tablespoons three times a day for 1 week then 3 Tablespoons morning and evening for 1 week then 1 Tablespoon for the next 2 weeks... This does two things; kills the yeast/candida and strengthens the immune system for both you and your child.

2nd. Stop it from happening again while killing runaway candida; If you do not have digestive enzyme and Probiotic stomach and intestinal balance candida/yeast will continue to re-propagate and will be out of bounds forever under the heading of Chronic Yeast/Candida albicans... Once you balance stomach and intestinal systems with the necessary natural flora yeast cannot propagate and will stay away and kill any lingering there... take 1 caplet with each meal and then 2 at bedtime on an empty stomach for the first week. Then just the 2 at bedtime on an empty stomach thereafter. If you eat a lot of raw organic fruits and vegetables you won't have to continue the digestive enzymatic probiotics daily unless you overindulge in fast/prepackage/processed foods or sugar substitutes, sugary foods/drinks and/or fatty foods then your natural flora will die again and the cycle will start all over again...

3rd. If a vaginal yeast overgrowth exists you can do one of two things; a silver water douche: Usually 1 ionic silver water douche will do it but some gals do two just for their peace of mind...
DIRECTIONS FOR DOUCHE: 1 Tablespoon silver water to 1 quart of warm filtered water, make sure it is well mixed, pour into douche bag and douche...  OR vaginal yogurt treatment. This requires placing 1/2 cup natural sugar-free, unflavored yogurt into the vagina three days in a row, messy and will require wearing a pad... But if you do not get the stomach and intestinal systems balanced and watch your diet it will come right back this is why so many have chronic candida/yeast problems...

Food is medicine and also health killing if the body isn't given what it needs to keep it healthy. In our over-the-counter, doctor rushing, medicating society Chronic Candida/yeast infections are rampant and will continue to be so as our fast food society continues to grow it. So its our responsibility to keep our ecosystem healthy.

WOMEN, AGING A GOOD OR BAD THING?

A recent report from the Journal of Advanced Nursing, in which researchers from the College of Nursing at Arizona State University measured the stress levels and personality traits of 299 women of various ages

What they found is encouraging:

• Women between ages 18 and 29 were under high stress, and had poor personality traits. Result: poor health, both physically and emotionally.
• Between ages 30 and 45, stress levels generally went up, but women with strong personality traits saw their way through it all, and they were healthier than when they were younger.
• Once past 45, emotional stress levels declined, while the healthy personalities became better still.

HOW TO HAVE A LIFE OF JOY

Do you know how to have a life of joy?

A businessman on his deathbed called his friend and said, "Bill, I want you to promise me that when I die you will have my remains cremated." "And what," his friend asked, "do you want me to do with your ashes?" The businessman said, "Just put them in an envelope and mail them as taxes to the government and write on the envelope, 'NOW YOU HAVE EVERYTHING!'"

Paying taxes is not usually a joy. But GIVING can be joyful. We pay the taxes because we have to. But when we choose to give time or money, then giving can add to our overall happiness.

Mother Teresa teaches us an important lesson about happiness. She was one of those people who emanated joy. Born in 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia, she felt called as a teenager to move to Calcutta, India. Some months later she saw a sight that completely revolutionized her life.

Shortly after moving to Calcutta she spotted a homeless, dying woman lying in the gutter, being eaten by rats. After seeing that, compassion compelled her to beg an abandoned Hindu temple from the government and convert it into a crude, make-shift hospital for the dying. "Nobody should die alone" she would later say. Mother Teresa went on to establish homes for the destitute dying in numerous cities. But in spite of devoting her life to people in such dire straits, she radiated joy and happiness.

This incredible woman was once interviewed by Malcolm Muggeridge from the BBC News. He asked her an unusual question: "Mother Teresa, the thing I noticed about you and the hundreds of sisters who now form your team is that you all look so happy. Is that a put-on?"

Here was a woman who had none of the things we like to think of as bringing happiness: a home, a family, prosperity. Rather, she lived in near-poverty and spent her time wiping dirt and various body fluids from half-dead cancer and leprosy victims -- and appeared to be blissfully happy. "Is that a put-on" she was asked?

She replied, "Oh no, not at all. Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt."

She would agree that happiness does not come from acquiring, but is a by-product of giving: time, money, love. Do you want a life of joy? Start by giving.
