Yeasts are heterotrophic, lack chlorophyll, and are characterized by a wide dispersion of natural habitats.  Yeasts are found on the skin surfaces, and in the intestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals, where they may live symbiotically or as parasites.  In women, who are pregnant or taking antibiotics, an infecion of the vagina and vulva caused by a yeastlike fungus, Candida albicans, is common.

Candida albicans is commonly found in the mouth, vagina, and intestinal tract. Candida is a normal inhabitant of humans and normally causes no ill effect.

However, among infants and individuals with other illness a variety of conditions can occur.  Candidiasis of the mucous membranes of the mouth is known as thrush.  Candidiasis of the vagina is called vaginitis.  Candida also causes severe disease in persons with AIDS and chemotherapy patients.

Dr. Nelson recommends excellent natural products that help with yeast, fungus, and candida and has helped people around the world with these conditions.
