Candida albicans is a harmless yeast-part of the body's
natural flora-but when over-stimulated by all-too-common
triggers such as antibiotics birth control pills, steroids
or hormones too much sugar chemicals or excessive stress
this benign yeast can become a debilitating agent that
produces toxins which severely affect the body and
suppress the immune system.
Statistics indicate that one
in every three persons living in the Western world has
some form of Candida. With symptoms as diverse as food
allergies; digestive disturbances; eczema; hypoglycemia;
PMS; persistent fatigue; joint pain; headaches; poor
memory; severe itching; athlete's foot; and chronic ear
nose throat and respiratory ailments the disease is
difficult to diagnose and treat successfully.
Candida is the organism most commonly associated with mycotic (yeast or fungus) infections.
Candida is a yeast-like fungus which reproduces by budding and is generally found in very small amounts in the mouth, skin, intestinal tract, and vagina of normal individuals. Ordinarily, the growth of this fungus is kept in check by the immune system and the beneficial bacteria of the body or flora.
Unfortunately, those with weakened immunity, or who consume too much sugar (which feeds the fungus), and individuals who have taken drugs which kill the beneficial flora like antibiotics, birth control pills, and long-term use of cortisone - may develop an infection or overgrowth of this fungus. This condition is referred to as Candidiasis and the strain of the organism most frequently involved is Candida albicans.
Infants and young children who have been on antibiotics often develop Candida infection of the mouth or throat. It is characterized by the formation of white patches and ulcers and is frequently accompanied by fever and gastrointestinal inflammation. This condition is referred to as Thrush. Thrush, as well as other types of candida infections, particularly those involving the lungs, are also very common in people with depressed immunity, like those suffering from AIDS or taking immunosuppressive drugs.
Sometimes, Candida overgrowth occurs throughout the body, including the liver and blood. Once in the blood, the fungus can be carried anywhere in the body resulting in a number of health problems like frequent urinary tract infections, respiratory problems, gastrointestinal and liver problems, food allergies, decreased immunity, frequent or chronic fungus infections of the skin and nails, and weight gain.
This condition is referred to as Systemic Candidiasis or candidosis and moniliasis. It is common for individuals with this condition go undiagnosed for years and continue to suffer from health problems which baffle their doctors. Physicians often treat it with special antibiotics which kill fungi and yeasts. Some individuals, however, prefer to avoid antibiotics and choose to overcome their Candidiasis with diet, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle changes to prevent recurrences.
Systemic candidiasis may also be a complicating factor for those who are overweight. These individuals find it difficult to lose weight and even harder to keep it off, no matter what they try. Once their candida is under control they often lose weight without even trying and find it much easier to maintain their ideal weight.
