Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Dear List: Yogic practitioners should ALL be quite aware of the dangers of the little creature known as "Candida albicans", its resurgence and its prevention. When you practice a yogic lifestyle you may be quite oblivious to its presence in the suburban population, if you maintain a level of yogic good health which includes a diverse ecology of intestinal flora and fauna including acidophilus et al. It would help your understanding that Candida can affect both men and women. In addition to the widely advertised "female yeast problem", it can also affect the esophagus and digestion. In a culture that promotes white sugar, alcohol, antibiotics, and fatty fast food, the internal ecology promoted by such a diet allows a "weed" like Candida to thrive and flourish, choking out competitors that would "normally" keep it in check. It's interesting to note that not one TV ad for "yeast treatments" spelled "$$$$" mentions that Candida Albicans is the main culprit in these infections, nor that simple yogic practices such as avoidance of sugar & alcohol & antibiotics, and replacing them with yogurt, acidophilus, and salads, can do a lot to tame a raging population of Candidas. -Sat Nam ;^) -Seanrobb Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
