Millions of men and women have excess yeast and fungal proliferation that cause, directly or indirectly, a significant number of existing health problems or conditions. Candida yeast infection, both digestive and systemic, is a social and medical dilemma without easy access to answers or long lasting remedies. If the candida is not completely removed and/or the body protected, it will continue to grow and will reduce the body's resistance to a host of physical aliments and complications.

The devastation and discomforts endured by the body due to these insidious and stubborn yeast and fungal imbalances, is immeasurable and in most cases the means of its removal or control is inadequate. Going from doctor to doctor and product to product can be frustrating and emotionally draining. It requires special attention and knowledge to overcome a serious to severe yeast infection. John has successfully treated many cases of yeast and fungal imbalances, usually severely complicated by other problems.

Candida infections can manifest as fungal infections of the skin or nails, thrush, upper respiratory, sinus, cystitis and other vaginal infections. Candida Albicans is a yeast that naturally lives in our body that can become out of control when our immune system is compromised. Prolonged antibiotic and oral contraceptive usage, stress and diabetes are major causes of candidiasis problems.

Chinese Medicine diagnoses candida infections based on the individual's signs and symptoms. A patient with vaginal itching with white discharge, fatigue and loose stools is diagnosed with dampness and Qi deficiency. A patient with severe itching, yellow discharge, irritability and dark urine with red tongue and yellow greasy coating has a damp-heat condition. Depending on the diagnosis different herbal formulas and acupuncture treatment is utilized to eliminate the symptoms of candida and strengthen the body's immune system to prevent reoccurrence. Although the diagnoses vary, the root cause of patterns associated with candidiasis is dampness, in which either the Spleen is too weak to transform dampness or there are too many damp pathogens that enter the body. Eliminating damp forming foods such as sugar, dairy and wheat are first steps in eliminating candida.
