Where do Yeast infections comes from? A yeast infection starts within you. You have yeast in your body all the time, and it is kept under control by your body’s natural defenses so it doesn’t usually become a problem. It’s only when your body has lost the control it had over the yeast that you start suffering from a fungal infection.

The yeast in your body

You’ve had yeast living in you since you were a young child. It also enters your body every day. Yeast loves food that you eat especially sugar. If you eat a diet that is high in sugar then you’ll be feeding the yeast, and then it gets to grow in numbers. If your body’s natural defenses are weak then they won’t be able to cope with the increase in yeast, and then it starts mutating into an aggressive fungus.

Most healthy people can eat as much sugar as they want, and they still won’t get a yeast infection because their natural defenses are able to cope with the yeast, and still keep it low in numbers.

Friendly bacteria

You have friendly bacteria in your body that keeps the yeast low in numbers. It’s when the yeast in your body overpowers the friendly bacteria that you start suffering from infections. This is why taking antibiotics is now the biggest cause of yeast infections because this drug kill friendly bacteria. So when they have been killed off by the antibiotics the yeast can easily grow in numbers, and then it mutates into fungus.

If you’re now suffering from a fungal infection you now know that the infection started within you, and to cure your infection successfully you need to treat it from the root cause. You must make sure the yeast won’t mutate into more fungus once you have treated your infection otherwise it could keep on coming back.
