- Poor nutrition: We are an overly fed nation but starving inside. Why? Because we consume things that feed all the bad bugs and kill the good ones. With poor nutrition comes poor nutrients and soon starvation.
- The use of Antibiotics: Nowadays, we take antibiotics like candies! Worst we don't even know why we take them because most of the viruses have become resistant and immune to their effect. Instead we end up making the bad guys stronger and we kill the good ones.
- Other causes: For women: It could be hormonal change due to birth controls pills ingested for months or years. It might also be caused by poor acid balance due to the frequent use of douche, synthetic fabrics, soaps, and even some tampons. For men: Who think they can't get yeast infections it can be caused by many factors from viruses, to bacterial infections. Poor hygiene due to non-circumcision, harsh soaps etc. Other contributors to Candida can be disease or circumstances that damages the immune system such as: HIV, liver problems, diabetes, hypothyroidism, chemotherapy and so on. It can also grow in the mouth and other organs.

A Few tips to help you fight yeast infection or candida:
- Chitosan inhibits the proliferation of Candida albicans.
- Caprylic Acid inhibits the growth of Candida albicans in the Intestines.
- Lapachol (a Naphthaquinone present in Pau D’Arco) kills Candida albicans.
- Black Walnut exerts Anti-Fungal effects against Candida albicans.
- Lactobacillus acidophilus inhibits the proliferation of Candida albicans (by recolonizing the Digestive Tract and by producing Hydrogen Peroxide).
- Fermented coconut kefir inhibits the proliferation of Candida albicans (by recolonizing the Digestive Tract with Beneficial Bacteria).
- Charcoal (20 - 30 grams per day) suppresses the growth of Candida albicans (in the Gastrointestinal Tract) and adsorbs the toxins produced by Candida albicans in the Gastrointestinal Tract. It thereby counteracts the Herxheimer Reaction experienced by many people attempting to rapidly eradicate Candida albicans from the body!
