Candida Albicans Part 1: Identifying Candida Albicans
For most of the world's population, 80%, Candida Albicans is not a problem. For the other 20% ,the repercussions of yeast morphed into fungus transform healthy life from unpleasant to unbearable. At this stage it is imperative to eat mineral rich foods, do enzyme therapy, put in probiotics, get off of unnecessary antibiotics, steroids, and birth control pills. De-stressing is a crucial part of healing candida overgrowth because undue, ongoing stress, grief and prolonged sadness run the immune and digestion system down making the body system prone to fungus and parasites.
Candida Albicans causes more than a little trouble for the other 20%, or more, of the worlds population. Why the interest in Candida Albicans over the last twenty years? It is because more and more people: suffer recurring problems that are the result of immunocompromised systems, take antibiotics more than ever before, eat fast and denatured foods without replenishing their mineral bank accounts, are prone to unrelenting stress due to career, money, health and relationship stressors, and have body environments that are perfect for hosting Candida Albicans.
What are illnesses that carry the branding mark of candida overgrowth? The list is long; this is a taste: clouded thought, being too tired, yet unable to sleep, fungus under toes or fingernails, fibromyalgia, lupus, bronchitis, constipation followed by diarrhhea, poor digestion, bloated stomach, cravings for sugars and simple carbohydrates, recurring cold and influenza, thrush, asthma, awake between 2 - 4 a.m.
It is said to be dimorphic which means it shape shifts from white to opaque cells so that it can mate. That ability to morph creates a fungus that can run rampant in a system that is a good host. Candida can coat the throat, mouth, esophagus, live in the genitourinary tract, live in the stomach, intestines and gut, the lungs and sinuses In advanced cases it completely overruns the body and kills it. That is fourth stage candida. The body hosting candida overgrown is also the host for parasites.
Perhaps some of what youve read here sounds familiar. There are several factors which make a perfect host situation for Candida Albicans: overwhelming stress, hormonal changes such as post natal, menopause, stopping breast feeding, antibiotics, steroids, other medicine that kills naturally occurring healthy bacteria in the body, post-surgery, grief, loss and prolonged sadness or illness, too much sugar, simple carbohydrates, and fast foods. In the second part of the series on Candida I'll discuss creating a clean inner environment that is unfriendly to Candida Albicans and parasite infestation.
