The Yeast Infection Epidemic
For women and men concerned with yeast and fungal infection internally and externally.
(PRWEB) April 27, 2005 -- Nebraska Cultures announced today the release of
their definitive book "Cultivate Health from Within" researched and authored by
Khem Shahani Ph.D. with foreword by Frederic Vagnini, M.D., F.A.C.S.
This
probiotic guide provides in-depth answers to the age-old problem of 'yeast
infections' for women and even men. Over 80 million Americans needlessly suffer
from yeast infections or candidiasis in some form or another during their
lifetime.
The book informs the reader that, "In modern times, proper
balance of friendly bacteria is not an easy feat to accomplish. Diets rich in
sugar, cortisone and cortisone-like drugs, birth control pills,
immuno-suppressive drugs and antibiotics, have been major culprits in the
"candida epidemic" of today. Many people are unaware that they consume
antibiotics daily, without a doctor's prescription in the foods they eat.
Anti-biotics are routinely used as supplements in animal feed or the treatment
of sick livestock. Consequently, humans who eat these types of animal products
may be destroying their beneficial bacteria without their knowledge, starting
the epidemic cycle of candida."
The book further explains, "Candida
albicans and Candida parapsilosis are two of several (fungal) organisms normally
present in the human body. These organisms have been around for thousands of
years, living symbiotically within man and are good guys to have around… in
appropriate quantities and in balance with the natural ecosystem of the body.
Candidiasis refers to a parasitic infection whereby levels of these yeasts
increase dramatically, well beyond acceptable, ecologically balanced levels.
Normally, the candida fungi reside naturally as part of normal body flora in the
mouth, gastrointestinal tracts, skin, and vaginal cavities, where other friendly
bacteria help the immune system keep the proper balance of organisms, including
candida, under control."
Spokes person for the book, Frederic
Vagnini, M.D., F.A.C.S. stated that ,"Khem Shahani's pioneering research and
dedication to the understanding of probiotics as stated in the book, will
benefit all people, young and old for decades. "
