andidiasis

Candidiasis is an overgrowth of candida albicans, a yeast-like fungus in the body. Candida albicans is a

unicellular yeast found in everyone and is usually kept in check by the body's good bacteria, namely

lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus. If the immune system is compromised, the yeast proliferates and

transforms into a pathogenic fungus that severely compromises the immune system. It can release over 79

known toxins for which the body can create an antibody. Candidiasis can trigger a variety of symptoms and

make the body much more prone to allergies and infectious agents.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

-Chronic digestive complaints, ie. gas, bloating, cramping, and rectal itching

-Chronic fatigue

-Recurrent vaginal or urinary tract infections

-Food or environmental allergies

-Low immune function

-Severe PMS

-Loss of libido

-Depression or anxiety

-Respiratory problems

-Prostatitis

-Brain fog or spaciness

-Oral candidiasis (thrush), white patches on tongue

CAUSES AND CONTRIBUTING FACTORS

1. Prolonged antibiotic use which kills the good bacteria, allowing yeast overgrowth

2. Oral contraceptive use, estrogen replacement therapy, and steroid use can increase risk.

3. Anti-ulcer medication including Zantac and Tagamet

4. Immune suppression due to stress, environmental toxins, illness, and infectious agents

5. Poor dietary habits, including high sugar intake

6. Chemical / environmental toxins

7. Alcohol use - alcohol is very toxic and feeds the yeast.

8. Food and environmental allergies

9. Hypothyroidism

10. Diabetes; candida thrives in the presence of sugar

11. Gallbladder problems

12. HCL (hydrochloric acid) and/or enzymatic deficiencies

13. Hypoglycemia and / or hypoadrenia

14. Impaired liver function - liver is a key organ in fighting against candida

15. Mercury amalgam dental fillings

16. Recent surgery or extensive burns
