CANDIDA YEAST OVERGROWTH
 What is it: Candida Yeast Overgrowth is a single-celled fungal yeast that, when unchecked, becomes an invasive parasite attaching itself to the intestinal walls.
Why it is bad: As a parasite, it consumes the nutrients ingested by the host and then deposits its waste (toxins) back out into the host. As it grows and reproduces, it can eventually burrow through the intestinal lining, allowing incomplete digested food proteins to pass directly from the intestinal track to the blood stream (known as Leaky Gut Syndrome). LGS leads to inflamitory reactions and a depressed immune system.
Why it is good: Candida Yeast Overgrowth is never good. However, yeast is an integral part of life and is found in/on food, many exposed surfaces and in the air that we breath. Everyone has some candida within them, but it is kept in check by the immune system, or more specifically, by beneficial microorganisms.
General Information:
Caused by:
- Antibiotics (both medicinal and in our food supply) - Antibiotics kill off bad and good bacteria. Follow up antibiotic prescriptions with probiotics for a period of twice that of the prescribe antibiotics to reestablish good bacteria colonies in the gastrointestinal track. Additionally, antibiotic use almost completely inhibits the excretion of mercury due to alteration of GI flora
- Heavy Metal Toxicity - Compounded when antibiotics are used
- Birth Control Pills
- High
sugar/glycemic diet - Sugar and high glycemic foods such as white refined flowers (wheat, rice, corn) are what candida thrives on for nourishment.
- Sexually
transmitted
- Stress - Stress will impair the immune system, allowing candida to reproduce unchecked.
Candida Yeast Overgrowth creates havoc on the immune system, leading to many other health
related issues.
Symptoms:
- Food & Airborne Allergies
- Bad Breath/Body Odor
- Bladder/Urinary Infections
- Chemical Sensitivity
- Chronic Fatigue
- Dark
Toenails - Finger/Toenail Fungus
- Depression
- Diarrhea
- Dry
skin/welts
- Gas/Bloating
- Hair
Loss
- Inflamed Prostate
- Inflammatory Conditions/Joint Pain
- Lack of Sex Drive
- Low Blood Sugar
- Poor Memory
- Rectal Itch
- Thrush
- Vaginal Yeast Infections
A thurogh body detoxification, healthy organic diet, low glycemic diet, and probiotics can eliminate Candidiasis and reverse
the damage caused by Cadidia.
