www.healthyinformation.com There is probably more misinformation about yeast infections and candida albicans than almost any health topic. Yeast diets, candida diets, along with special herbal formulas for combating yeast and candida infections abound. Yet after 30 years in the nutrition field, we have found very few of these to be effective. Research shows that women, following yeast diets and candida diets, obtain some relief from their symptoms, yet as soon as they go off the restricted diet, their yeast infection and candida symptoms return almost immediately. The only substance ever shown to actually destroy the candida and yeast organism on contact is oxygen. Oral oxygen has proven to be very effective in eliminating yeast infections and candida. Candida diets do not eliminate candida or yeast. Candida diets help reduce the symptoms of candida or yeast, but will not cure the problem. When oral oxygen is used candida diets become unnecessary. Buffered oral oxygen is the only safe way to raise the oxygen levels, but you must take the right formula in order for it to be safe and effective. The Institute of Nutritional Science offers a formulation, which has been used for over 20 years in eliminating systemic candida and yeast without the use of dangerous drugs and ineffective diets.

In these days excess stress is almost a given with the economic crisis around the world. The sources of stress seem to mount with the passing of time. External stress from job, relationships and life itself, coupled with internal stresses, have everyone seemingly at the edge. Stress in everyday life is so common that many of us cannot imagine our lives without it. The stress response cycle, involves the adrenal glands, two glands sitting in your lower back area, just above your kidneys. The adrenal glands, when stimulated, produce powerful stress hormones. These hormones start and eventually end the stress response cycle. In ancient times humans often relied on the stress response cycle to protect them from harm by preparing the body for what is called the fight or flight syndrome. Of the many stress hormones, one called cortisol, has another rather undesirable side effect. While cortisol is essential, excess amounts of this hormone can cause rapid weight gain, especially around the mid-section. Once present, cortisol can also make losing this weight extremely difficult. Cortisol excess occurs whenever the adrenal glands become exhausted. When considering natural stress management, it is essential that we place focus not only on stimulating the adrenal glands but also in nourishing them. If you constantly over stimulate the adrenal glands they will, over time, only become more and more exhausted. A well-rounded natural stress management formula will contain nutrients to support adrenal function while nourishing the adrenal glands so that they can remain in a strong healthy condition.
