Many children with autism are found to have yeast as well as other bacterial overgrowth in their intestines. In fact, yeast overgrowth is a common problem affecting large numbers of typical people in modern society as well. The common symptoms of yeast infection (candida albicans) overgrowth includes:
- chronic fatigue
- low immunity
- food sensitivity, poor digestion, intestinal gas and other digestion-related problems
- groin / anal / vaginal / scrotum itch
This problem is made worse by the fact that yeast is difficult to destroy. Conventional medical treatments for yeast infection typically involve the use of powerful drugs with strong side effects.
Natural treatments for yeast infection
On the other hand, natural approaches to treatments for yeast do not cause harmful side effects. Instead, these natural candida cures bring about other health benefits, including greater immunity to infectious diseases, improved digestion, higher energy levels, and so on.
Among the effective natural treatments for yeast infection is the use of probiotics, or what is commonly called friendly bacteria or beneficial bacteria. The strategy behind this natural candida cure is a simple one – flood the intestines with friendly, beneficial bacteria so that there won’t be room for yeast and harmful bacteria to thrive.
There are many brands of probiotics on sale at food supplement stores. These typically contain between 2 billion and 5 billion. To the lay person, it may seem like a lot of friendly bacteria. However, the colon or large intestine of a typical adult has an estimated 100 trillion bacteria. That is 10^14 or 100,000,000,000,000 (one followed by 14 zeroes), or 100,000 billion!
So if you just take one or two capsules that each contains a few billion probiotics, it is not going to produce much results. Moreover, the friendly bacteria may no longer be active. Most brands guarantee the bacteria to be active only at the time of manufacture, not at the time you take them..
For effective treatments of yeast infection and other intestinal problems, we offer a range of custom-made ultra high potency probiotics called Doctor’s Formula. This is custom-made for us by a US company that specializes in the production of high potency probiotics as treatments for yeast infection. Each capsule contains at least 100 billion units of friendly bacteria, guaranteed active at the time of expiry – about one year from the date of manufacture. Plus, it is specially formulated to help children with autism.
For patients taking the probiotics for the first time, the recommended dosage is usually 100 billion CFUs (or one capsule) a day. The best time to take it is in the morning just after waking up, with a few glasses of cool water. The capsule may also be opened and the powder inside dissolved in cold or room temperature water. It has a very light and pleasant malt taste.
Probiotics are perfectly harmless and non toxic – any extra that the body does not need will simply be passed out in the stools.
We’ve had excellent results using Doctor’s Formula probiotics as part of the treatments for yeast infection, both for children with autism as well as for adults who suffer from a wide range of symptoms that could be due to candida or yeast overgrowth. Children with autism are tested for the presence of excess yeast as part of the Defeat Autism Now! protocol recommended by the US-based Autism Research Institute (ARI). The ARI has records of over 1,000 cases of recovery as reported by families after following the ARI protocol. These kids had been diagnosed with autism, but now behave as normal kids.
Apart from autistic individuals, others can benefit too from using high-potency probiotics from Doctor’s Formula. This writer (Richard Seah, webmaster for this website) has personally experienced the benefits. For some months, I had been having blood in my stools. I suspected that my old problem with hemorrhoids had recurred, but I am not keen to undergo surgery again. John Yeo recommended that I take the Doctor’s Formula Probiotics, explaining that the blood was probably due to inflammation and sores in the intestines caused by infection. Almost immediately after taking the probiotics, the bleeding was reduced. Two weeks later, it stopped completely. I continued taking the probiotics for another two weeks two, then decided to stop to see what happens. About two months later, the bleeding returned. I took the probiotics again, and this time the bleeding stopped after about three days.
Probiotics is, of course, just one of many possible treatments for yeast infection and other intestinal problems. Another highly effective and safe candida cure – with no harmful side effects – is caprylic acid, a natural extract from coconut oil.
