5 Tip: What are candida symptoms? A candida yeast infection is difficult to diagnosis, and presents itself with a large variety of symptoms. These symptoms can mimic other ailments, but the underlying cause could be due to a candida albicans overgrowth. Some of the more common symptoms include fatigue, rashes/itchy skin, muscle aches and pains, mood swings and depression, digestion problems, allergies, shortness of breath, headaches, eczema, loss of sex drive, craving for sugars, breads and alcohol, fungal infections and joint pain. Regardless of what symptoms you are showing, they will worsen in damp, humid weather. Tip: What causes candida albicans overgrowth? Candida yeast overgrowth is caused by a variety of factors, not all of which are in our control. Women are at higher risk for developing this overgrowth, partially due to the fluctuation of hormones. A poor diet is another cause as well. Diets low in healthy foods and high in refined sugars and carbohydrates make a perfect breeding ground' for the candida yeast. Taking antibiotics can destroy healthy flora, which puts the body out of balance and any immune system deficiency will weaken the system and allow candida to overgrow. It is important to keep the body in balance by taking aids such as probiotics and/or colostrum. Tip: What is candida? Simply put, candida is a yeast infection caused by an overgrowth of candida albicans in the body. Everyone naturally has candida albicans in their body, and it is usually kept in control by friendly flora.

This can be done through eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of rest, exercise and through immune system supplements, such as colostrum. Tip: Immune System: AIDS AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The virus works by attacking the immune system cells, causing mutations and destroys their ability to function properly. If left untreated, HIV will develop into AIDS and will ultimately destroy the immune system, leaving the body vulnerable to disease. While there is no known cure for HIV or AIDS, medical advances have come a long way, and there are many medications on the market that can keep the virus at bay, boost the immune system, and allow individuals to lead a normal life. In addition to traditional medicine, many have found benefits of using immune system supplements, such as colostrum. Colostrum contains immunoglobulins, antibodies, PRP and lactoferrin, all which are strong, natural, immune booster agents which can assist the body in achieving optimal performance and health.

It is important to maintain colon health by using cleansers or hydrotherapy. Category: The Stomach Subcategory: Stomach Disorders Tip: Protection from Stomach Ulcers It is believed that most stomach ulcers are caused by the bacteria helicobacter pylori. Research has shown that bovine colostrum prohibits this bacterium from attaching to

14 the lining of the stomach, thereby protecting the stomach from developing ulcers. This is primarily due to the high level of immunoglobulins found in bovine colostrum, which aid in boosting the immune system and protecting the body from viruses and bacteria infections. Promising research has shown that colostrum can be a natural, passive way of protecting the body from pathogens. Tip: Stomach Disorder: Gastritis Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach, and can be caused by a variety of factors, including infection, irritation, autoimmune disorder, or a backflow of bile into the stomach.

Gastritis can be prevented by limiting the use of alcohol, not smoking, and avoiding irritants such as aspirin and other pain medication. You can help support stomach health by taking a colostrum supplement. Tip: Stomach Pain Due to Pain Medication Studies have shown that long term use of certain over the counter and prescription pain medications can damage the stomach lining and tissue. New research on bovine colostrum is promising and shows that a majority of those taking the supplement have less pain and increased healing of their stomach lining and tissue. Studies also indicate that colostrum may help protect the stomach from future damage as well. Tip: Treatment of Stomach Ulcers Stomach ulcers are a small hole in the stomach lining and are caused by the stomachs acid eroding the protective lining. Family history of ulcers, smoking, excess drinking, improper diet, and stress are all contributing factors. Some ulcers are due to an infection by the helicobacter pylori bacteria. Treatment is two fold, as the bacteria needs to be killed and the amount of acid produced needs to be reduced. This bacteria is not easy to kill. A friendly bacterium, normally found in your intestines, complements the use of antibiotics in riding your body of the harmful bacteria. Probiotics and colostrum supplements have been studied and shown to be effective in killing h. plyori bacteria that can be a cause of stomach ulcers. Subcategory: Stomach Tips Tip: Maintain a Healthy Stomach It is important to keep your stomach healthy. Not only will it decrease the likelihood of developing a stomach disorder, it will also make you feel better. Stomach pain, such as indigestion and ulcers, can be horrible to live with.
