The candida fungus is actually not dangerous providing that the immune system and your body’s natural bacteria can restrict its growth and keep it within acceptable boundaries.The spread of Candida produces harmful toxins in your body and has a serious effect on your health. Candida albicans is a single-celled yeast (a kind of fungus) that is just one of several hundred species of micro-organisms living in your gut. Normally it poses no problem to your health, and is kept in check by beneficial gut bacteria, such as Acidophilus.Despite the perception of it as a female problem, no one is actually immune from it (including women, men, and even children).

Reasons for getting this condition:

The following are a few of most common reasons:

Long courses of antibiotic treatments are another reason. Antibiotics can impact on the friendly bacteria as well as the bad bacteria that they are intended to address. This means that the good bacteria is not able stop the candida fungus and infection can then develop.

The fungus can indirectly multiply from pregnancy and contraception which leads to many women being susceptible to infection.

Immune systems that have been weakened in some way are more likely to be open to yeast infection. There are also some people that have naturally weaker immune systems and they are clearly more susceptible to the fungus.

Serious diseases, such as cancer, also lead to increase of candida to levels that cause infection. In addition, the treatment of these diseases can in itself directly lead to proliferation of candida.

Symptoms:

The most common symptoms are sore, red skin with an intense burning or itching feeling. There is also likely to be recurring tiredness, muscle soreness, and potential reaction to certain foods. Many people also report feelings of nausea and fever. The symptoms can also get substantially worse if no action is taken to deal with problem.

It is important to deal with the source of your problem otherwise there are other potential symptoms that could occur. These include dizziness, blurred vision, eczema, gas, fluid retention, and sudden allergies. Even more serious conditions can also develop including leaky gut syndrome. So make an effort to deal with the actual root cause of the problem before it gets too serious.

Females are not the only sufferers as men get can get it as well. Males are likely to suffer with dry and sore skin. The fungus can also cause digestive problems like constipation and bloating. There is also potential for emotional problems too, especially from possible sexual dysfunction.

Many women will have the problem in the vagina and are likely to experience three key symptoms. These are a red area of skin, itching (which can vary from mild to extremely painful), and a discharge (which might be white or yellow in color and potentially odorous).

The symptoms of candida can vary from minor irritations to very serious medical conditions. They key is to immediately act and seek assistance if you think that you may have any type of yeast infection

Natural Remedies to Treat Candida:

Olive Leaf Extract :

US research at the Upjohn Company, published by the American Society for Microbiology, found that Olive leaf extract’s active components, elenol acid and calcium elenolate, inhibited the growth of every virus, bacteria, fungi and protozoa they were tested against and this included the Candida fungus.Olive leaf extract should be taken 3 capsules daily (300mg), this can be increased to 3 capsules twice daily during times of extra need or when an acute infection occurs.Research indicates Olive Leaf Extract could be useful in conditions such as:
Candida, tinea, other yeast and fungal problems
• Chronic or recurrent viral or bacterial infections (eg. colds, flu, sore throat, etc.)
• Compromised immune systems
• Parasitic infestation.

Wormwood:

Renowned medical herbalist Gerald Green tried many well know anti-Candida remedies on his patients and found them all to be relatively ineffective compared with Wormwood. Recent research has found Wormwood to be extremely potent against the Candida Albicans fungal infection. It helps strengthening the immune system from cell level up, which helps to overcome the primary cause of the Candida infestation fungal stage - a low and damaged immune system.

Colloidal Silver:

Colloidal Silver is one of the oldest remedies and can be traced as far back as the ancient Greek and Roman Empires. It is non-toxic, non-addictive and free of side effects. It is thought to kill an average of 650 different organisms - compared to the 6 of a standard antibiotic! It is safe for adults, children, animals and pregnant and nursing women. It can be applied topically and internally and has no reaction with other medications.

What is Social Anxiety?

Social anxiety is the fear of social situations and the interaction with other people that can automatically bring on feelings of self-consciousness, judgment, evaluation, and inferiority.Social anxiety disorder is not an actual disease, hence it has no cure. It is the third largest psychological problem in the United States today, affecting more than 15 million Americans each year. Being a psychological disorder, it has no set medical diagnostic test to determine its cause, nor does it have a ‘quick-fix’ treatment that would fit all. It is for the family, along with the psychologist and the health worker to work out a diagnosis and determine the course of treatment.

How to Overcome Social Anxiety:

One of the best ways to overcome social anxiety is to first seek help and then analyze what triggers it, but the individual, child or adult, who suffers from social anxiety must be treated with dignity throughout the course of treatment, for treatment goes beyond a few days of therapy.Medical treatment includes prescribing depression medications, beta blockers and anti-anxiety drugs. Following are a few tips to overcome social anxiety:

There are no fixed techniques to overcome social anxiety. Treating social anxiety in children is different from treating the disorder in adults, as it can be more grave. But they all work on the same belief that more than medications, it is the power of mind that will help overcome this disorder.Here’s where motivation and practice come in. The more you can practice these small techniques at home, the quicker anxiety can be reduced and social anxiety can be overcome.

A different dimension can be attained between any relationships with the magic of love."I love you". These three words can change somebody’s life. At least when they are meant from the heart.

Also, I believe, that in true love, you need to be able to pin point the reasons for love. So, if you find all these reasons in your feelings for the person, it is most likely, love! Also check out these signs of being in love and what is Love?, for help.

• You annoy me at times. But, I still long for you when you are not around. You have the ability to get to me. Your stupid antics make me smile, laugh as well as get angry. But, even when I pretend to be angry or annoyed, I know that I just want you by my side. Your company is worth all the embarrassment in the world.

• Because of the splendour of loving like that. Because of the totality of it. I was made whole. It was shocking, wonderful, even painful at times to be so everything, so all at once. That was how we came to be married, because one and one don’t make two in that condition — they make one.

• Because when we first met we danced. That was such joy, to move together like that; to tell our story to each other through movement, through eyes meeting, and through open mouthed pleasure. So much clearer than words. So much in a glance, or in a quick touch and tumbled bodies, and the silent standing and knowing.

This section has two parts. The first one for women and the second for men.

Reasons for Why I Love Him
He protects me, physically and emotionally and I always feel safe around him. When he sees me walking through a crowd, I see his face light up. He looks at me with love and not lust. Yes, I know he longs to touch me, but he never forced his desires over my comfort. He doesn’t call me sexy, or hot, he calls me beautiful. What’s more, when he calls me that, I feel beautiful!

Reasons for Why I Love Her
She is feminine, but not feeble. I know that our interests don’t always match, but she makes every attempt to give my interests a chance. When I walk into a room, I see a sparkle in her eyes. She is always a lady when around my friends, but only I know the child inside her. When she looks into my eyes, I can feel her probing into my soul, knowing my deepest fears and thoughts. She knows I am "all man", but she still accepts it when I get childish, and cares for me when I am sick. She is beautiful!

• You are always there when I need you. Not that I only call you when I need you, or that I use you. But, you have an ability to see beyond my self-protective "I don’t need help" stance. You see that I need help, and you are there. No questions, no expectations, no demands. Sometimes, you force me to take your help. It angers me, but I know you mean well.  

• You introduced me to all your friends. Not because I was particularly awesome, but because you believed I was. You bragged about me to your friends and kept stealing glances all the way. You prepped me before I met them, and held my hand when you thought I would get nervous. After meeting all your friends, you told me how great I was. I saw you call your friend later (when you thought I was asleep), and say that "I don’t believe I finally found love!". I was touched!

• Because we love each other. Yes that is a strange word — love. What does it mean? Does it mean we feel emotions for each other? Well, yes! But it’s not just that. Does it mean we want to share with each other, to talk, to make love, tell secrets and share confidences, give meaningful things, share a bath, call, give time to? Yes, yes, but there’s more.
