ALLERGY- CANDIDA ALBICANS: CORTISONE DRUGS
Cortisone suppresses the power of the white blood cells to kill viruses, fungi and bacteria. The white blood cells are the mainstays of the body’s defence against infection. They swim through the bloodstream and into the tissue spaces like tiny amoeba, killing foreign bodies on contact. They also produce protein antibodies to neutralise foreign substances.
White blood cells work against the attempts of progesterone to change the chemistry of the mucous membranes to favour Candida growth, by producing and sending protein antibodies to the membranes. The increased number of protein antibodies in the membranes changes their chemistry, yet again, rendering them infertile for Candida growth.
Because Candida yeast infections can produce inflammatory conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, asthma, arthritis and systemic lupus, cortisone creams and pills are often prescribed to Candida sufferers. Like antibiotics, they only treat the symptoms. As a potent anti-inflammatory agent cortisone does this very efficiently, but it also suppresses the white blood cells’ ability to produce antibodies to line the wall of the intestine. Ultimately cortisone, like antibiotics, increases the size of the Candida colony.
