Candida
is a genus of yeasts or fungi and the most common cause of fungal infections in
the world. More than 20 species of candida can cause infection in humans, but
candida albicans is the biggest troublemaker of the lot. It normally resides in
small amounts in your digestive tract without causing infection, but overgrowth
of candida albicans can lead to candidiasis.
Candidiasis
can occur in the throat, mouth or vagina. When it occurs in the mouth, it’s
more commonly known as thrush. When it spreads deeper into the throat, it is
called esophagitis. In the vagina, it’s better known as yeast infection,
vaginitis or vaginal thrush.
Symptoms
of candidiasis in the mouth and throat include cracking at the corners of the
mouth, red spots, white patches, a sore throat, nausea and loss of appetite.
Symptoms of vaginal candidiasis include severe itching, soreness, burning and a
whitish discharge.
A
healthy immune system generally keeps candida in balance and prevents
overgrowth. Candidiasis is more common or persistent in people with compromised
immune systems, such as pregnant women or people with diabetes, cancer or AIDS.
It is also common in people taking antibiotics; this is because the antibiotics
kill the helpful bacteria that control candida, allowing it to grow unchecked.
Boosting
the body’s immune system is the key to treating candida infections. Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy is a simple, pain-free, non-invasive and highly effective means
of doing exactly that.
Oxygen
is the world’s most natural drug, most important nutrient, and the element most
essential to all life on Earth. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is simply a
way of giving the body more oxygen than it can get through normal respiration.
Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy is scientifically proven to:
* Boost energy * Improve blood flow * Promote
detoxification * Boost the immune system * Speed up the production
and release of nutrients, stem cells and amino acids to repair damaged body
tissues * Improve overall physical and neurological health
The
fact that HBOT boosts the immune system is particularly useful for candidiasis
sufferers. By enhancing the abilities and activities of the white blood cells,
HBOT helps keep candida growth in check and at harmless levels.
In
short, yes. K.K. Jain MD investigated the effects of HBOT on the growth of
candida albicans and found that growth in vitro is inhibited by prolonged
exposure to hyperbaric oxygen. Publishing his findings in the Textbook of Hyperbaric Medicine Volume 3, Dr Jain said that
prolonged HBOT is “fungicidal for candida albicans and several other candida”.
He recommended that HBOT be considered as a treatment for candida when standard
antifungal agents have failed.
