About Candidiasis
Candida is a
yeast,
which is normally present in the bowel. It feeds on sugars, simple
carbohydrates and fermented products like
alcohol and cheese. Everyone
has
candida in the gut but the problem with it only occurs when the
numbers gets out of control. Causes for this can be: too many
antibiotics, a hormone imbalance (the pill is a major factor in this)
stress and poor nutrition. These affect the balance of organisms in the
gut and allow the bad ones to multiply.
Alcohol
addiction
It is not hard to see
why
candida has increased during the twentieth century. The use of
medicines, steroids,
alcohol, sweet products has increased tremendously;
even hormones are now fed to cattle and chicken. Unfortunately the
presence of
candida in the body weakens the immune system, which has to
try and cope with the toxins produced by the
yeast. The
yeast takes over
and turns into a nasty mycelia form, which sends out mycelia or roots
which invade the rest of the body. This is where the long-term problems
start as unpleasant symptoms are produced in the part of the body that
the
yeast takes control of.
Candida has also been
linked to: mercury (amalgam) poisoning,
diabetes, ME., Post Viral
Fatigue syndrome,
AIDS and Cancer. Like
candida all these are linked
with an inability of the immune system to cope.

Candida Symptoms
The list of symptoms
below has been collated from the case histories in many books. No-one
has all of them and obviously many of them can be attributed to other
problems. If you do suspect you have
candida however just looking
through the list might help to confirm your suspicions. In my experience
also you may not have all of them at the same time but may have any of
them at any time depending on which part of your body the
candida has
taken over.
