YEAST INFECTION

An Insidious Disease

The main cause of yeast infections, such as Candida Albicans, is from grain-based foods, drugs, chemicals, and poisons.

Dogs and cats were never meant to eat grains. Their main diet in the wild is raw meat and vegetation. The only grains they ever get are already predigested in the stomach or the bowels of their prey. Cooked foods, anything in a can or a bag, vaccines which compromise and destroy the natural immune system, antibiotics which kill the friendly bacteria which would ordinarily fight and overwhelm the yeast, steroids that shut down the body's ability to fight back, and any and all other drugs, chemicals and poisons, including frontline, advantage, program, heartgard, etc, that compromise the immune system are all additional reasons for seeing such a preponderance of yeast infections. Yeast infections seem to be one the most under-diagnosed illnesses in the veterinary field.

Symptoms include: chronic ear infections; incessant licking of the genitals or the paws or both; lick granulomas; habitual scratching, usually the ears, sides of the torso and underbelly; rashes, most often on the underbelly; and when the yeast begins to move into the head; loss of hearing; loss of eyesight; loss of balance; obsessive behaviors such as walking in circles, doing good or bad behaviors redundantly; loss of intelligence, memory and comprehension.

It is insidious. Very often these problems are treated with antibiotics or steroids, which only make matters worse.

Rather than dwelling on what causes the problem, let's discuss how to get rid of this insidious ailment. This is one situation that does not get better by itself or by waiting to see what is going to happen.

Immediately you need to get your cat/dog on raw meat, vegetables, and Rex for Health Bio-Calc and Rex for Health Cod Liver Oil to provide a proper diet for him/her to be able to resist the yeast infection and the parasites.

1) Do not feed anything that contains ground bone, grains, dairy, fruits, alfalfa, kelp, or any herbs, vinegar, rawhide, pigs ears, plastic or nylon bones, pressed or freeze-dried treats or biscuits.

2) Do not give any drugs, chemicals or poisons, including vaccines, frontline, advantage, program, heartgard, antibiotics, antihistamines, antacids, rimadyl, flagyl, steroids, et al.

All of the above will only exacerbate the symptoms of the yeast infection.

Your animal’s main meal should be
