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.

Why the surge of interest in candida yeast overgrowth? The symptoms and illness encouraged by an infestation of the fungus can be devastating. That one fact makes it worthy of investigation but why are so many people affected by this condition? More and more people are on medications, eating denatured foods, living with severe stress all of which create a body system that is the perfect environment to host parasites and candida overgrowth.

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.

Candida Albicans is said to be dimorphic which means it shape shifts from white to opaque cells so that it can mate. I like to joke that at night when people wish they could sleep, they are really hosting a party for parasites and fungi. Not much of a joke if you suffer from insomnia. Eventually Candida overlays and suffocates formerly healthy tissue, further taxes an already compromised immune system and degrades the body.

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. This is the first in series of articles on creating a healthy environment that cannot be tolerated by candida andother parasites.
