yeast infection symptoms in men - Simply stated, antibiotics are dangerous mycotoxins, fungal metabolites, that kill bacteria, including the good bacteria which can be contained in our intestines and important for a healthy body. This upsets the fragile balance from the yeast to bacteria ratio within your gastrointestinal system, giving the yeast fungi the upper hand in making a candidiasis. Minus the good bacteria in your body to regulate yeast, it spreads and becomes a toxic fungal parasite referred to as candida.

Penicillin is a great demonstration of a fungal by-product known as a mycotoxin. It was discovered from the mold (mold is really a fungus) experiment that Dr. Fleming was performing on a bacteria colony. He added some mold from bread towards the colony and observed that the fungus killed each of the bacteria; producing the substance he later named penicillin. The main reason behind yeast infection was created in 1928 and it is so over-prescribed today that yeast infection is a growing epidemic.
