What Type of Parasites Appear As Yeasts?

Fermentation of yeast creates a chemical substance called propyl alcohol. The overgrowth of yeast in the body can overpower beneficial yeast breaking down the living organism, causing illness. There are 20 to 30 types of pathogenic yeast that can cause illness. Yeast forms a coating on the mucosal lining of the intestine that provides a protective barrier for the growth of unwanted parasites.

  1. Yeast and Parasites

    • Parasites depend on a host for survival. Types of parasites include hookworms, pinworms, roundworms, flat worms and tapeworms. Yeast is a member of the fungal family that consists of 100,000 to 250,000 species including yeast, mildew, mold, rots, smuts and mushrooms. Yeast and parasites have a tendency to work hand-and-hand. Candida, the most common type of yeast, is often associated with intestinal parasitic and bacterial infections.

    Candida

    • There are 50 to 60 strains of Candida albicans that cause infections. Candida usually forms around moist body areas such as vaginal areas, under the breasts and lower abdomen, beneath skin folds and in the mouth. Babies usually suffer from Candida orally, because of the milk they consumer. Toxic environments, psychological stress, poor eating habits, excessive antibiotic usage, lack of exercise, disease or ailments such as AIDS, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and lupus are some of the conditions that can cause yeast and parasitic infections.

    Contamination

    • Alcohol, cheese, and yogurt contain yeast and bacteria. These products can be harmful if they are not fermented properly. Parasites can enter the body through raw, uncooked food, contaminated drinking water, and by human-to-animal contact such as touching a family pet.

    Trichinosis

    • This disease is caused by roundworms ingested into the body through infected meat, especially pork. The larva forms a cyst in the muscle of an infected individual, initially causing diarrhea and nausea, then itching, muscle ache, fever, chills and joint pain.

    Symptoms

    • The medical community believes that yeast and parasitic infections cause various aliments in the human body. Many parasites are "silent killers" that go undetected without any serious symptoms. Symptoms of yeast and parasitic infection can include irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating, joint and muscle ache, allergies, anemia, sleep disorders and chronic fatigue.

    Treatment

    • Treatment for parasitic and yeast infections can be radical. To control the overgrowth of yeast and the parasites that thrive in the body, sugar, dairy, wheat, yeast, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and certain chemicals must be eliminated from the body. Treatments such as a Chinese herbal treatment will help rid the body of toxins that cause illness. A physician can run lab tests that can determine if your body is overridden with yeast and parasites.
