Are you one of those run and hide when they hear the word Candida?
It’s OK, relax.
What many people don’t realize is that Candida exists in both yeast and in fungus form.
In its yeast form Candida is an incredibly important part of our defense system but the Candida fungus is a particularly nasty predator whose reputation is well earned.
The Candida Yeast
Healthy people have millions of the Candida yeast living in the mouth, throat, intestines and GI tract. Its main job is to seek and destroy bacteria that are harmful and without it we would be far more susceptible to many diseases. The yeast feeds on dead tissue, is controlled by other friendly bacteria and by and large is happy to co-exist with everyone.
The Candida Fungus
Sometimes there is an event or an accumulation of events that change the balance of bacteria within our bodies. This may be as simple as taking an extended course of antibiotics or the cause may be more complex and long term. Stress, nutritional deficiencies, drugs, lifestyle choices, pregnancy are all examples of things which can affect the immune system.
When this balance is upset then the Candida yeast grows things that look like roots and develops into the ‘super yeast’ or Candida fungus. It starts to feed on live tissue and attack its host – ie you!
This Candida fungus produces many bi-products but the two that are the main cause of many of the symptoms of a fungal infection are Canditoxin and Ethanol
It can affect and settle in every part of the body that it touches, there are even studies in alternative medicine that show that many diseases like MS, CFS and Fibromyalgia are the result of a systemic infection by the Candida fungus.
This is why it is so important to seek proper treatment for your Candida fungus infection now. As you can see, if it is allowed to become systemic the chances of regaining full health become significantly reduced the longer that you leave it.
